RATHER BEGs THE QUESTION

In this mornings Mail Bag CORE
spondent quotes from New York pa
per "a very sound and patriotic reason
why Sunday automobile rides should
be given up at this time As matter
of fact, the quotation and the argu-
ment following it are very sound rea-
sons for the conservation of gasoline,
but have absolutely no bearing what
ever upon the consumption Of gasoline
OH Sunday. The situation, for the
reasons given and for many more and
equally good reasons which might be
given, calls for. economy in the con-
sumption of gasoline and particularly
the unnecessary, the non eSSential con-
sumption There is nothing in the sta
cate a shortage of the refined product
but when government official authority
says we must conserve, conserve we
must.
But nothing is further from the fact
than the assumption that the objection
to the Sunday recommendation ex-
presses a desire to evade the saving Of
gasoline or reluctance to second every
conservation movement that is pro-
posed. Far from it. The only point
such DIRECTORS make is that there is
much better and more effective way to
reduce the gasoline consumption than
by permitting unlimited use at the dis
cretiOn-Or lack of it-of motorists, so
long as they keep their cars stabbed on
Sunday. There is no necessity of
muddying the waters by the conclusion
that criticism OF the gasoline recon-
mendation means unWillingness to join
in general conservation. st. Paul Pio-

Marshal Foch Is Expected to
Turn Yankees Loose on
Enemy Soon.
INTEREST At CAPITAL
Washington Officials Think That Brit
ish Capture Of 10000 Prisoners
in TWO Days Indicates Foe Is
Dsorganized.

Washington, Sept. 5.-Officers here
believe that reports from the British
front indicate that the German re-
treat, heretofore conducted with great
military skill, is getting out Of control.
Under the terrific pressure of the
British and French armies all along
the line from Ypres to Scissors, the
enemy apparently is being forced to
more precipitate withdrawal, par
ticularly on the old Drocourt-Queant
front where Marshal Haigs men ham
mered forward irresistibly again to-
day.
News from the British front that
taken in two days of fighting on this
front in itself indicates, it is said,
that there is growing disorganization
in the German ranks.
Observers here believe the time Is
fast approaching when General Perish
ing's first field army will participate
in the battle. AS to where or when
that blow would be delivered, how
ever. there was wide variance Of opin-
ion.
Decided Gap in Fee Line.
The British now have broken de-
cided gap in the old German fortified
line and the fall of Cambria, Douai,
st. Quentin and several other rail and
road centers upon which the linden
burg line depended, seems imminent.
Marshal Haig's forces are moving
on Cambria, the key to a large Sec
ton of the old line, and if that place
Is taken it appears to officers here
that the enemy will be quickly forced
to evacuate the salient in which he is
rapidly being pocketed by the French
and American advances on the Oise-
Ailette lines in the south and the
British thrust eastward from Peronne
to the north.
Growing disorganization among the
Germans lead many to believe it pos
sible that the enemy may be forced to
withdrawal to the Rhine this year.
Others feel, however, that the skill the
German leaders have displayed does
not warrant any anticipation of an
early collapse Of the military machine
Expect American Push.
On all sides here announcement OF
the formation Of the First American
field army and the fact that many
American units which had been brig
AIDED with the French or British for
final training have been withdrawn to
be added to it, have been taken to
mean that the Americans would at
tack during the present year. Ample
time remains, 1t is said, for the or
ganization Of the force to be completed
and the assault launched before winter
interferes

Fortunately the Jerseyman who can

Let those who have murmured over

potato flour.
Dinner-Soup with a small piece of
tough beef, coarse turnips and no po-
tatoes.
Supper-Soup again with We slices

This represents the fare of fifteen
American prisoners in Germany, ae-
cording to a Canadian soldier recently
escaped from a German prison. These
men were captured in a trench. raid
last October and since then had been
marched many miles on these rations.
Our men, said the Canadian, who
had talked with them, had not received
parcels of food like other soldiers. As
a result of their treatment they were
thin, weak and mentally dazed. In
this condition they had been exhibited
from village to village as a proof that
the American army could not stand
against German trained soldiers.

America is giving daily proof that she
can stand against any amount of Ger
man training. There is no better evil

hotels all over the country the hotels
