HELP APPRECIATED

/ SIS it realized by the people of
this country that America has a.
ready saved us from captivating
to the enemy?" asks a special writer
for one of London's big dailies?
Either" the writer continues,
1--WE should have been forced into
this surrender with our armies un-
broken and our munitions of war
uneXhausted, or we should at this
moment be struggling to live and
work and fight on one third of our
present rations."
The food supplies being sent by
the United States to its allies rep
resent, it is pointed out. 'the kind
ly, difficult and entirely wiling
sacrifice of whole nation, the vast
majority of whom are working peo-
ple."
America, the article continues,
has answered England's appeal sin
manner which marks her out as
one of the greatest moral forces
in the world. 1t should be known
out there, in the farm houses and
cottages of the American continent,
that the people of this country,
Tightening their belts and confront
ing the future with an indestruct-
ible confidence, are mindful of
Americas self-safrifice-self sacri-

RED CROSS BIRD
DUE IN NENANA
ON STR. ALASKA
Rooster Sent On Errand of Mercy
Viii Be Nenana's Guest For
Few Days.

A big rooster sent out by Commits
sioner Dehn and who has been do
ing the rounds of some of the In
terror towns, arrived at Tanana a
few days ago, and according to tele-
graphic advices received by United
States Marshal James Hagen, this
patriotic bird will arrive in Nenana
on the steamer Alaska.
Just what that bird is going to do
here to help the Red Cross is not de-
finitely known at the present time,
but the plans made for his activities
during his stay in Nenana will be
made known in due season.
Many citizens of Nenana are ap-
parently very willing to undertake
the care of the bird as long as he
is with us and one of them will
probably be selected for this service.
William Gilcher, who recently i'm
ported dozen selected chickens, has
built nice chicken house with a
poultry run in connection and says
that he will very gladly care for that
Red Cross rooster for as long time
as he cares to stay with us, regard
less of cost.
Bill is soft hearted and thinks that
his chickens are looking as if they
were lonesome and that they would
be all the better for the company
of this Red Cross bird, even though
for a short time only.

INJURED TROOPS
GIN FRENCH SHIP
ALMOST PERISH
Liner Driven on Mud Bank By Gale,
Where Passengers Face Death
For Day.

HONOLULU, T. H.-The Pacific
Mail steamship Colusa, which arrived
here recently from Indian Ocean
ports enroute to San Francisco,
brought the story of how she rescued
7S0 passengers little more than a
month ago from the French liner
Andre Lebon which sank on a mud
flat, with her decks awash, in a gale
in the Straits of MallSZca.
According to the story told by
the officers of the Colusa, she re-
ceived the wireless call for help
from the stranded steamer, but the
narrow, curving channel of the
straits made speed dangerous, but
the Colusa made as good time as
possible and reached the Andre
Lebon early the next day.
By this time the French liner had
listed dangerously and the water
was sweeping her main deck, al
though the gale had moderated.
Some of the passengers had been
landed on small mud island by a
Japanese torpedo boat. With the aid
of this vessel 500 Chinese coolies,
$50 wounded French veterans and
thirty members of the Andre Lebon
crew were transferred to the Colusa.
being later landed in Singapore.
Nearly 800 other passengers were
taken off by Japanese warships that
arrived later.
The Andre Lebon was of $4,000
tons and was enroute from Saigon
to Hongkong when she stranded.
Her passenger list was made up en-
tirely of French soldiers and Chin
ese coolies who had been wounded
or otherwise disabled on the West
ern front in Europe, and who had
all ben invalided from active service.

TO Patrons of Express Companies:
''The volume of traffic now being
rendered to the express companies
Is substantially larger than the cor
responding season year ago, while
the express car equipment has been

The express terminals in the larger
cities in the East have their limita-

are now handling their maximum
business.
"In order to utilize terminals and
cars to their utmost capacity it is
requested that express patrons assist
the companies by preparing their ex-
press shipments as early in the day
as possible, thereby avoiding con-
gestion in the final pickup.
1t is also requested nat freight ser

the shorter haul traffic in and

WHAT TO DO AND HOW TO DO 1T

81 know what the United State!
Food Administration is asking US tt
save" one housewife was hearC
to remark, "but l can't cut dowr
any more than l have unless I car
get something to take it's place."
That is exactly the question tc
be solved-that will take it's place.
The first thing to determine, then
is what each of these foods you are
asked to save, contributes to the
body's needs. And the next step
is to find other foods that will sup
ply those same food elements
Wheat furnishes starch, for one
thing. But so do the other cereals.
Why not use corn, oats, rye, rice,
and barley, as both an admixture in
flour and as a cereal? Serve such
starchy vegetables as sweet and
Irish potatoes more often and less
bread will be eaten.
Meat has long been considered the
chief source of protein. But there
are many other foods equally rich
in building material such as
milk, poultry, fish, cheese, eggs, dried
legumes and some of the nuts. The
duty of the patriotic housewife is
to study which Of these foods are
most satisfactory to her family in
exchange for meat, and then to de-
wise new ways of combining and
serving them. She can also extend
the meat flavor and make a very
little meat go a very long way For
stew some of these "meat extend
ers" are potatoes, parsnips, carrots,
and turnips, while inexpensive meat
dishes can be prepared by combining
the cheaper cuts of meat with rice,
potato, bread crumbs, corn meal and
samp.
A certain amount OF fats and of
sweets is necessary to a wholesome
diet, Much less, however, than we
have been accustomed to think nee
essary. We can easily use less fat
than we do and we can also reduce
our uses of animal fats by using
vegetable oils in cooking in place
of butter and by using poultry fat
for shortening purposes.
That we are being asked to curtail
our use of white sugar doesn't
threaten the removal of the required
sweets in our diet. Try using half
the usual amount of white sugar,
with honey or maple sugar or corn
syrup to make up the amount re-

.G0URAUD BARRED
CROWN PRINCE IN
CHAMPAC ZONE
Hero of DardaneI|es Brought
German Hosts to a Stand
still East of Rheims With
Insignificant Losses,

tsY MORNING JOURNAL SPECIAL LEASED wiael
With the French Forces in France,
July II (by the Associated Press. -
General Gouraud. the hero of the Dar-
danelles, was the French commander
who barred the advance of the crown
prince in the Champagne. 1t was he
who, to the east of Rheims, in one
day brought the host Of Germans to
4 standstll with comparatively insg-
nificant losses among his own men.
About twenty enemy divisions have
this sector of the front alone. BY
the end of the first day of fighting
half of these divisions had been badly
mauled The precaution the French
had taken before the Teuton often
sve began was such that the Germans
were unable to capture single pris-
oner in the Champagne during the sew
eral days preceding the attack. The
Germans thus were deprived of the
possibility of obtaining Information
regarding the French plans.
When the German artillery prepara-
ton started on the night of the four
teenth the flashes d-om thousands
of guns were so vivid that they light
ed up the streets of Chalons, nearly
twenty miles from the front. The
French replied with an equally pow
erful fire, and everything for many
miles trembled until dawn, when the
German infantry came over.
The advancing waves we're of great
density, giving the hundreds of
French 75's point blank target.
Germans arc Moved Down.
AT the same time small centers of
resistance composed of French ad-
vanced posts opened fire with ma
chine guns, which did terrific execu-
ton,
These isolated detachtnents held up
the enemy masses for several hours,
giving ample time for their comrades
guarding the line of resistance to or
ganize and bring into play all their
means Of defense. Then they retired
slowly, at times being compelled to
fight strong bodies of the enemy who
had succeeded in passing their posi-
tions.
Lieutenant Tranchard, with twenty
five men, was caught between the
French and German barrages and re-
mained fighting half the day. He then
cut his way through.the enemys lines
at the point of the bayonet and re-
ceived the Legion of Honor on the
field.
The perfect execution of General
Gouraud's defense plans prevented
the enemy from making a breach at
any point on this sector, although
during twenty-four hours the German
crown prince sent three necessarily
renewed waves of his best troops from
the rear in determination to get
through to Chalons,

Although the Germans are still at

'The internal propaganda methods

STEEL SHORTAGE
MAY FORCE AUTO
MAKERS TO WALL
Government Demands for Met
al for War Purposes Likely
to Cut Off Supply to All
Manufacturers of Cars,


Washington, July 17.-Further cur
tailment of the so-called lesser essen
tial industries may result from the
enlargement of the war program, the
consequent increasing demand for
steel and existing shortage In the sup
ply.
War requirements for the last six
months of this year will be approxi-
mately 10000, 900 tons, the war indus
tries board announced today. The
greatest output of like period for
the steel industry was 16,500,000 tons.
Automobile manufacturers have
asked the war industries board to al
low them sufficient steel to produce
so per cent of their normal produc-
tion of passenger cars. The board re-
piled that it could not promise even
rs per cent and that possibly none at
all could be granted.
The war industries board called on
the automobile manufacturers to sub
nit within two weeks a sworn inven-
tory of steel and steel products now
on hand.
Ample Warning Given.
War industries board members de-
clared that ample warning of the cur
tailment had been given and told the
automobile men that the supply of the
American forces in France was the
first consideration. Those who face a
shutdown from curtailment of steel,
1t was stated do so because they found
passenger car contracts more profit
able than war contracts.
When the conference between the
automobile men and the war board
was over, it became evident that plain
words had been spoken on both sides.
Some Of the conferees said the discus
sion had ranged even into the field
of political effect of the boards action.
Hugh Chalmers, in discussing the
conference, said:
Unless we get sufficient steel to
liquidate our inventory the entire au-
tomobile industry faces financial dis
aster. | told them this. We know
the government has the power to en-
force any curtailment order and that
they need to have their steel require
ments met 100 per cent. But some
thing is owed the industry"
