West Nottingham Community Club

West Nottingham Community Club.
A meeting Of the West Noting
ham Community Club was called to
order by the President, J. ]. Hanna,
at $3.50 p. M, June 29th, at West
Nottingham for the purpose of dis
cussing the all important subject of
growing sheep.
A goodly number were in attend
ance, consisting of such represent
alive men as Ex-senator Williams
of Elkton, County Agent Knode, DR..
Reeder, Rev. Hallock, Prof. Leuth-
ner, a number of the most up-to-
date farmers of the community and
Prof. Bomberger of Maryland State
College, who was the principal
speaker.
Prof. Bomberger explained in de-
tail the Dog Law as it goes into
effect July 1st and the need of every
patriotic American citizen to see
that the law is enforced. Prof.
Bomberger then went on to show
the alarming shortage of wool sup
ply in our State, which is only about
one-fifth of what is needed to supe
ply the soldiers of our State, this be
ing typical of nearly all the States.
This goes to show that if this short
age is not met by greater activity
in the way of sheep growing not
only our soldiers at the front will
suffer in a short time, but our civil
ian population as well.
Prof. Bomberger went on to show
that the sheep under proper condi-
lions and management is the only
animal on the farm that pays its
own way and brings in a good in
terest on the investment.
1t therefore behooves us as good,
patriotic American citizens to do all
we can to increase the supply OF
wool as well as food resulting from
growing sheep.
The West Nottingham Community
Club went on record by pledging it's
heartily cooperation to the industry
and number of men became mem
bers of the Maryland State Sheep
Growers Association.
The meeting adjourned till the
latter part of July.

Il will can" should be the motto
of every housewife for the next
three months. Because of the short
age of sugar the Food Administra-
ton requests housekeepers to pre-
serve fruits this summer in other
ways than in rich preserves and
jellies. The need of canning veget-
ables this summer is much greater
than last year. BY canning veget-
ables and fruits for home consump-
tion the housewife will relieve
transportation and allow the pro-
ducts of the canneries to be shipped
to our boys lover there"

MUST SAVE SUGAR.
New Regulations Put You On Three
Pounds Per MOnth-Extra
Allowance For Pre-
serving.

The drastic sugar regulations
which the Food Administration has
found it necessary to put into effect
are designed primarily to protect
the small domestic consumer by Ii
censing the amount of this product
which any large user may purchase
at a given time. 1t is explained by
the Government that it's purposes
are to prevent a national sugar fam
inc by forcing reduction in con-
sumption on the part of such non
essential users as candy manufac-
turers. soft drink dispensers and ice
cream makers.
BY cutting down the amount OF
sugar these wholesale buyers may
have and by enforcing rigid restric-
lions upon hotels, restaurants, can
ners and even boarding houses, 1t is
believed by the Food Administra-
ton that the volume of sugar which
the country may depend upon will
be large enough to meet the normal
demands of the household, both for
immediate table use and for neces-
sary preserving.
To that end the Food Administra-
ton proposes to license all users
except the housewife, and proposes
to limit the amount any household
may have at given time.
1t is the general plan of the Food
Administration to allow domestic
purchasers to have two pounds OF
sugar at time. This amount may
be purchased from any retailer. II
the customer lives in the country
the Food Administration will per-
NIT the retailer to sell him five
pounds at one time rather than re-
quire him to come to town oftener
in order to keep his table supplied.
The Administration expects the
retailers to limit every household
to three pounds of sugar month
per person.
Extra Allowance For Canning.
It is realized that little or no pre-
serving can be done on basis OF
three pounds of sugar person. Mr..
Hoover, therefore, expects to an
nounce the quantity of sugar which
may be purchased at given time
for canning purposes. This amount
will be considerably larger than is
allowed on normal day-by-day or
ders, but at that it will not be in
wholesale lots.

UNSUITABLE SHIP FOR U. S.
Naval Advisor Declares New inVen.
ton Will Defy German
Submarines.

New York, Feb. 13.-Means have
been found to make troop transports
unsuitable by submarine, according
to a statement made by William L.
Saunders, vice chairman of the naval
consulting board, jim an address at
dinner of the University of Pennsyl-
vania alumni in this city.
Mr.. Saunders said that one of the
ships recently Communicated by the
government "now lies at an Atlantic
port and in such shape that she cannot
be sunk by an exploding torpedo
II can conceive of no reason why
this information should be withheld"
he added. "On the contrary, l believe,
1t is well that the enemy may come
to realize that the time has been
reached when American transports
which that enemy cannot sink are
ready for the transportation of our
troops. This ship may have a hole
thirty or forty feet in diameter blown
in her side and she will remain afioat.
Such a hole would waterlog but one
tenth of the honeycombed alright
cells"
Mr.. Saunders described in detail the
plan to keep ships afloat after they
had been torpedoed and the manner in
which it had been developed by Will
liam f. Donnelly, New York marine
engineer, working under authorization
of the naval consulting board.
1t is understood that the unsuitable
ship has no fewer than 1900 alright
cells.
"Of course it will take some time to
equip similarly the large number of
transports we have" continued Mr..
Saunders. sit Is my belief, however,
that nothing will be left undone by
the administration to safeguard the
lives of large troop contingents to be
moved across the Atlantic"
Secretary Baker has insisted before
the senate committee that 100000
American troops could be taken to
France and kept supplied during 1918.
His replies to the questions as to
where the tonnage for the task was
to come from have Indicated that there
was some information at hand which
he did not care to disclose.

sequently of the world.
Autoeracy Sole Bar to Peace.
"a general peace erected on such
foundations can be discussed. Until
such peace can be secured we have
no choice but to go on. So far as we
can judge these principles that wa re-
gard as fundamental are already every
where accepted as imperative except
among the spokesman of the military
and annexationist party in Germany.
If they have anywhere else been re-
jected, the DIRECTORS have not been
sufficiently numerous or influential TO
make their voices audible. The trag-
ical circumstance is that this one party
in Germany is apparently willing and
able to send millions of men to their
death to prevent what all the world
now sees to be just.

did not say once more that we entered
this war upon no small occasion and
that we never can turn back from a
course chosen upon principle. Our re-
sources are in part modified now and
we shall not pause until they are mo-
bilized in their entirety. Our armies
are rapidly going to the fighting front
and will &c more and more rapidly.

me to add that no word of what l

America-that men everywhere may
know that our passion for justice and
for self-government is no mere passion
of words, but passion which, once
set in action, must be satisfied.
"The power of the United States Is

Haig's report from British headquarters He reports that along the whole front from Bapaume Southwards the Germaps have been forced to retreat with great loss in prisoners, guns and material. The British have reached the west pank of the Somme opposite Erie and Peronne. The text reads
 Successful attacks delivered since Au- guest 8, by the Fourth, Third and First British armies, have rendered the en- emy's positions on the old Somme battle field untenable
 "On the whole front from Bapaume southward the enemy has been forced to abandon with great loss in prisoners, guns and material as we'll as killed and wounded, the ground he gained at such heavy cost last March and April. We have reached the west bank of the Somme orposite Erie and Peronne and have taken Hem.
 North of Hem we are advancing on Beaulencourt and Fremicourt. Sharp fighting occurred on this front today and many casualties have been inflicted on bodies of German infantry who at tempted to delay our progress.
 This morning the New Zealanders took possession of Bapaume, driving out the enemy's rear guard.
 'In the sector north of Bapaume the enemy is still endeavoring to maintain his positions. Our troops, after hard fighting about Vraucourt, Ecoust St. Mein and Hendecourt-Lez-Cagni made progress and have taken many prisoners.
 North of the Scarpe successful opera tions today enabled our stroops to re- establish themselves in the positions on Greenland hill from which they were forced back by the enemy's counter at-

out retirement according to plan" to this line without it being broken somewhere else by the eager allied forces.
 The most important obstacle to the German scheme at present is the recent British advance on both sides of the Scarpe, which is a serious flankins threat to the whole Hindenburg posi- ton. The British are already almost in contact with the famous Drocourt- Queant switch running from Queant to Lille.
 It is clear the Germans cannot per init the British to advance farther in this quarter without endangering their whole plan for gradual retirement to the south.
 The resistance which the enemy has been making on the west front has va ried greatly on different parts of the 100-mile sector on which the battle is raging. Some German divisions have been fighting with their old time Ge- termination, while others have been surrendering very freely. While it is necessary to guard against exaggcr- ated expectations of German collapse, it is nevertheless true that the fight ing of the last month has given def mite evidence of a notable deteriora- tion in German morale.
 There also is proof of increasing insubordination in an army bearing the reputation of the German machine. Captured orders tell of the refusal of new drafts to enter the trenches. Oth- CTS censure officers for laxity in deal ing with offenders

MAXIMUM PRICE POLICY ANNOUNCED Price to Government Is Also Price to Public and to

Washington, August 29.--Resolutions formally defining the governments pol icy Of appiyins, Jnaseiitcra~ sSed ptseeS were announced today by the price-fixing committee of the war industries board.
 Whenever stipulated that the prices are fixed for the United States government and associated governments in the war and the public, such prices are declared by the committee to extend to the gov ernment and civilians of the United States Qncluding civilians of it's territo- ries and insular possessions) and to the following governments: Great Britain France, Italy Belgium and Japan
 The maximum prices are not to be extended to purchases made by the civ ilans of the six armed allied nations nor the governments or civilians of na- tions not included among those opposed to Germany, the resolutions provide.

London, August 29.-(By the Asso- ciated Press.)-The total entente all lied captures on the western front since July IS, now approach 120.000 prisoners and 2000 guns The British captured more than 21,000 prisoners between August 21 and August 26, while the British total losses in the. same period including all killed, wounded and missing, were only slightly in excess of that figure. A considerable proportion of the British casualties are in the slightly wounded class. The total captured by the Brit ish since August IS, exceed 47.000 of- ficers and men and the captured guns number nearly 500. British military observers say it is now clear that the Germans intend to retire to a shorter line on the western front, where tl,ey can obtain better defensive positions against the constantly repeated enten- te allied blows and so that the enemy can economiZe his force which has be- come so urgent a necessity on account of his lessening man power.
 Moreover. the moral effect of any kind of retirement has proven to be great on the German people and armies and the enemys present inten- ton is undoubtedly to make a stand on some line we'll west of the Hindenburg line. if possible A The Germans are watching a vcry favorable line along the Ailette.
