Kansas in the near future. There
has been considerable delay to build

shortage OF labor and inability to get
delivery of certain necessary building
materials, devices, fixtures and equip

cause slight delays in our work.
However, at the present time six
OF our buildings are so far advanced

French Smile.
est. Joseph News-Press.)


The smile of the French has been
one of the miracles of the war.
Through their darkest days the
French have smiled, and the smile
has been an inspiration to themselves
and to all who contemplated Them
for they were smiling through tears
But now better days are coming and
their smile may mean rejoicing.
a short time ago. somewhere in
France, wounded poilus were lying at
the side of road and fresh Ameri-
can troops we're swinging past to
battle with a light step, eager for tn
adventure before them. The poiIus
smiled through their pain, encour-
aged by the sight. They'll hold
well. that lot one poi!u murtrurcd,
admiringly. And as the poilus felt,
so now does the nation feel. The cele-
bration of the Fourth of July in
Paris lasted for days Afterwards, the
occasion being made more than Il
courteous observance and more than
a commemoration. by the receipt of
the news that a million American
soldiers are now in France and a mil
lion more in training in this Coun-
try.
We Americans must not be FLIED
with the idea that our presence in
the conflict is all that is necessary to
bring victory, for that would be for
getting the past sufferngs and pres
ent endurance Of our allies, but sure
ly we can be glad Of what our help
may mean, we surely may be happy
that the French feel they see more
plainly the coming of the day that
will reward their bravery of the spirit
as well as their bravery of the body
and mind.

TAKING CARE OF BABIES.

1t is particularly fortunate that the
campaign of the Children's Welfare
League, acting under authority from
the Department of Labor, got under
way this week when the spell of al
most unbearable warm weather en-
phasizes the need of protecting the
babies. The first step in the cam
paign was a house to- house canvass
in order to register and tabu1ate every
infant in the city. The data concern
ing each child is noted on an individ-
ual idex card for future reference,
and now the work of weighing and
examining the babies is in process. In
each district a doctor and two nurses
conduct the physical examination, as
sisted by corps of lady workers who
are sacrificing their time to save the
next generation. Thus far, results
have been most satisfactory, the ma
jority of physician expressing the
opinion that in most cases the babies
are found to be normal and excep~
tlCna1ly healthy. The ladies who are
covering the various districts have
gone about their tedious duties every
day this week, regardless of the. OPP
pressive heat, and the fruits of their
labor are already apparent.

NEW RULING FOR BAKERS
Administrator ScovilIe Will Permit
Use of Rye Sour or Meal In Max
ing Victory Bread.

Hartford, July 24.-Several i'm
pOrtant changes in the regulations
governing licensed bakers were an
nounced today by the Food Adnninis-
tratlon. Until further notice rye
HOur or rye meal may be used as a.
partial wheat flour substitute. 1t will
be permitted as q substitute UP to
one-hfth of the substitute REQUIRE
ments, as for example, a batch of
dough for victory bread may contain
IS pounds of wheat flour 20 pounds
OF any of the present substitutes and
s pounds Of rye -four.
In certain sections of the country
large stocks of rye -four were car
ried over from last years harvest
and in other sections this years rye
crop is already being harvested this
ScoVllle said today he believed this
opportunity to use rye flour as a.
partial substitute will materially as
sist in the use of the other substi
tutes
The period for the operation of
the 70 per cent. flour rule. govern
ing bakers of all products, other
than bread and rolls, has been ex-
tended from July 81 to August 81.
This means that all licensed bakers
must continue to cllrtail to Septern-
Der I. the use of -four in sweet dough
products, which must not exceed 10
per cent. Of their output during the
month of August 1917, or one-sixth
Of what they have used for the past
six months.
From now on there is no reguIa-
ttion as to what kind of shortening
shall be used by bakers, but economy
and conservation are urged, whether
animal fats, vegetable fats and oils,
compounds or butter are used. In
answer to many inquiries, Mr.. Scoville
said today that there have been some
premature and unauthorized reports
New Britain herald., 1918-07-24

to the effect that the list OF substi-
tutes might be changed and that
the percentage to be used in victory
bread might be lowered
Mr.. Scoville added there were no
indications at present that the pres
ent percentages for the sale of sub
stitutes with wheat flour and for the
use of substitutes by bakers in
victory bread will be changed He
was certain that there would be no
change whatsoever. before November
/, and possibly none then. Bakers
throughout Connecticut were ad-
Vised by the food administration to-
day that they must make their re-
ports promptly on time and that it
is violation Of the law to sell malt
extract or malt flour to individuals
these products being purchased by
them solely for use in their bakery
products. Mr.. Scovtlle also empha-
sized the fact that rye is not SUBJ
sttute for sale to housewives and
that the 'f1fty-fifty" sales rule on
substitutes continues in force.

What a Million Men Means.
bennington Banner)

We are told that there are over one
million American soldiers in France
at the present time. But do we get a
very comprehensive idea of how large
a body of men that is? Try thinking
of that number passing us in a parade.
If they marched 10 abreast down
Main street, at the rate of three miles
an hour each rank being six feet be-
hind the preceding one, it would take
SO hours lacking q few minutes, for
them all to pass a given point But
while marching in such procession in
the rear rank would be more than 113
miles back of the front rank. If the
soldiers were all drawn UP in line
facing in and touching elbows, they
would form a line about $50 miles in
length. Yes, it is quite an army al
ready, and it is growing fast.

Germany in Austria.

The cat is out of the bag in Aus
tria. The whole policy of the govern
ment, as deliberately expressed by the
Austrian premier at the opening of
the ReiChsrath on the sixteenth, is
to make Austria-Hungary safe for
the German race. Speaking of the
decree which> has for it's object the
partition of Bohemia into districts
a decree intended to facilitate the
economic annexation of that country
to the German empire-Dr. Won
Seydler said:
ut Is far from my intention to
deny that this is a German course,
because if there is a, political force
in Austria il can only be such as
guarantees the protection Of the just
interests of the German race. The
backbone Of this multiform state is
the German race, and it will always
be SO. The government will not be
DETECTED from the course upon which
it has entered. To those parties that
stand aloof. the door of understand
Ing Is always open. Over this door,
however, is written, Welcome to all
who are loyal to the dynasty and the
state"
the joint poIicy-German in Austria,
Magyar in Hungary-the policy of
trampling under foot, suppressing,
Commanding or Magyarizing, every
Slavic and Latin element in the dual
monarchy. Czechs, Slovaks Croats
Serbs, SloVenes, Ruthenes, Poles, Ru-
manians and Italians are served with
notice that there is for them no flu
ture, within the limits of Austria,
unless they come into the German
camp, and accept the German tongue,
and fight for the glory of the Ger
man race, whose head and chief COM
mand is. of course. in Berlin and
only in q delegated vice regal sense
in Vienna. In Hungary, the people
of other races are served with the
notice that the same "welcome''-
the welcome of the wolf to the lamb
is over the door of Magyarism
It is a partnership Of pure tyranny.
How will the nOn-German and non
Magyar races in Austria Hungary
react to it? They are in an actual
majority in the empire. They live
in every part of it. They are brave,
free spirited; they have become thor
Oughly aroused to the need of ac
ton, and of prompt action, to save
the remnant OF sell QeCS1nllllnS IlD-
erty that they possess. The division
of Bohemia into districts, for more
effective German rule, for the con
solidatiOn of the German course" is
the token and test of their resist
ance. That, their German masters do
not deny or cloak at all. If they sub
! NIT now they are doubtless lost. for
not even a victory of the Entente
would help them much if, they are in
capable of helping themselves.
We know we'll enough what the
answer of the patriotic Slavs in
America will be to this insolent de-
fiance of their race. They are ready,
all of them, personally to fight for
the defeat of Austria in this war,
| and they will declare to- their breth-
rem in Austria-Hungary that the hour
of resistance has struck. The
inscription above the door of the
German course" in Austria is not
as Won Seydler writes it; it is this:
| "Abandon hope. all ye who enter
here"
