"only Breaking Up Bands"
LONDON. April 15.-Foreign secre-
tary Won Kuehlmann. according to q
here, has replied to the Russian pro-
test against the German invasion OF
Russia by claiming that the Germans
and Ukrainians are attempting to
break up bands" and are not attack
ing Russia. The message to the Rus
sion foreign minister says:
Owing to the resistance and coun-
ter attacks by bands, which are caus-
ing disturbance in the Ukraine and
| which do not make any distinction be-
tween the Ukraine and Russian terri
tory, 1t is impossible In operations
against them to keep strictly to the
| frontiers which were deemed as
Ukrainian districts. The operations
against the bands cannot possibly be
liraited to the frontiers so long as the
Russian government does nothing tc
disarm the offenders.
"A change in this unpleasant state
of things is looked for only when peace
| is signed between the Ukrainian re-
public and the government of the peo-
pies commissaries, and organized and
unorganized bands alike will be COM
pelled to cease hostilities."

One Of the interesting activities of

these guns have to be taught how to

GOODIES FROM HOME
BARRED AT THE CAMP
Authorities Decide That Army Diet
Is Sufficient and that Sweets"
Are Harmful to Soldiers.

Goodies from home are banned here
from now on. Visitors who have been
bringing big boxes of food have been
adding to the Army diet things that ara
regarded as unnecessary and in some
cases harmful. Jellies. jams. cakes, can
dies. baskets full Of food have been
brought here on every visiting day, often
in greater abundance than even the
tempted appetites of soldiers could cope
with.
There have been insanitary ways Of
tucking away such rare dainties. The
soldier has no pantry, neither has he a
refrigerator, and Of course, his scant fur
niture does not include cellarette.
There is fear that mice and reaches will
come forth with the warm weather of
spring to help dispose Of the surplus
food. The amount of actual waste has
not been very great, for every soldier has
some "buddie" who would not refuse
fudge which sister or mother sent to
camp.
Against Extra Eating.
The medical authorities are dead
against the extra dieting. They super

occasional indigestion and dyspepsia from

meals could be dealt with by the Army
but the one consideration that no one
here wants to ignore is that feod Is
scarce In the world today and that win
ming the war may depend upon keeping
alive the people who are nearest to the
fighting area in France, Belgium and
England.
Less Wheat Flour Used.
There is less wheat -four used here now
than formerly other f1ours being found
enjoyable as made into war bread at the
camp bakery. The kitchens here have
made few Of the concessions along other
lines that all patriotic families are carry
ing out. The idea is that the soldiers
must have good wholesome food and
plenty OF it. No family, except as
mere display of extravaganza. would
serve meats In the generous portions that
are allowed mere. Ine SOidlerS are get

home we're getting often much that could
not be spared. There have been cases of
families that had to enter sugar lines to

make cakes for the soldiers, when there
are always plenty of desserts served here.
II food was no factor in winning the war.
however, the officers here would not
place an embargo on the goodies, because
they realize how the sentiment that goes
along with things from home counts for
more than the edibles themselves.

Members of the I'd Battalion of the

ago for special training in construc-
ton work. They are now earnestly en-
gagged in practical work for the govern
ment in the vicinity of Accotink. Va,
where a temporary camp has been es-
tablished.
The greatest interest now is in the
cavalary. Pershing's call for prompt
organization of new units for this
branch may take away many of the
most popular officers. especially those
OF the Baltimore regiments. Many cav
alyrmen here are well known to Gen.
Pershing If his memory is good. Those
who were with him on horseback along
the border are ANXIOUS to go with him
in France by the same method.
Nothing on the training program
about to be carried out as soon as the

than the work of the 9th Engineers. a
small organization that has been grow

November. The organization makes a

AIRMAN'S NERVE
SAVES HIS LIFE

while flying at height OF 1900 feet
had the tail of his machine shot off
by direct hit from a shell. The ma
chine turned up side down and the
pilot was thrown from his seat but
he managed to Chamber onto the bot
tom of the fuselage. on which he re-
manned astride. Though the machine
was out of control he managed by go
ing forward and backward, to balance
it glide steadily downward. Under a
strong anti-aircraft fire he crossed
the German lines successfully a few
hundred feet from the ground. His
machine came down with crash
and he received some injuries. but
will recover. Another British airman
was shot down out of control from
an altitude of 1900 feet. He fell flut-
tering and tainted on the way down.
When he revived he found himself
under the machine which was upside
down in a marsh and was entirely
unhurt.

UNION RESTRAINED
FROM PAYING STRIKE
MONEY TO OPERATIVES

London. Sept. l7-Justice Salter
today granted an interim injunction
restraining the Anal gamated asso-
citation of cotton spinners from pay
ing strike money to operatives who
are on strike. The injunction was
applied for the board of trade which
proclaimed the strike to be under the
defense of the realm act, thus making
the payment of strike money Illegal.
This probably will shorten the strike
as the dispute Is now narrowed
down to one of wages.
The Amalgamated Association Of
cotton spinners has a membership OF
10000 operators who work in the
Yorkshire and Lancashire cotton
mills and these men went on strike
last Saturday.
Premier Lloyd George on Monday
night issued an appeal from his sick
bed to the strikers to return to work
and leave the decision in the matters
under dispute to an investigation by
o special tribunal to be appointed by
the government.
