NEW FOOD CARDS FOR
HOMES TO Be ISSUED

WASHINGTON, February 5.-Thir-
teen million homes which signed the
original Hoover food conservation
pledge will receive the new 1918 todd
cards within a few days. In addition,
every effort is to be made to get the
cards into the homes which were not
reached or which refused to sign in
the original campaign.
One of the indications of the ear
nest nature of tie food campaign is
the request on the card, report to the
nearest food administration officer
the name and address of any person
discouraging the production or saving
OF food"
The card asks that fruits, potatoes,
and vegetables be eaten abundantly
and that every householder raise and
preserve them as much as possible.

SOLD THEIR PLACES
In FAMOUS RAINBOW
DIVISION TO SPIES
At grocers in tins
of convenient sizes

CAMP SHERMAN, O., February O.
That two German spies may be among
the members of the Rainbow Division,
which arrived in France some time
ago, commanding officers here believe
after today's confession of Private
William A. Gourley, and Fred H. HUFF
ford, Of Marietta, arrested recently as
deserters from the Rainbow Division.
Gouriey and Hufford said they sold
their places in the division to two
men who seemed anxious to fight and
declared they had been turned down
by army officials as unfit for service"
After Gourley and Hufford were ar
rested cablegrams were received from
General Pershing's headquarters that
both men were in the Rainbow Di-
vision in rance, and that the men
arrested at Marietta are imposters
apparently.
Military officials here, however, de-
cided to make a thorough investiga-
ton and the two privates were
brought here for examination.
Today they were grilled by Col S.
V. Ham, commanding the 15Sthe depot
brigade, with the result they con-
fessed. Full details of the confession
were not made public, but it is stated
that from information at hand it is
believed that the young soldiers sold
their places in the Rainbow Division
to two German spies.

sK|PBU|LD|HG PLANT
CREATES NEW TOWN

PHILADELPHIA, Pa, Feb. o.
Virtually every state in the union and
many distant parts of the world are
represented among the thousands of
shipworkers and their families who
are Fastening to this city to settle in
the new community established in the
Fortieth ward by employees of a large
shipbuilding corporation which has
established plant at Hog Island. The
influx, which began with the estab-
lishment of the plant short time
ago, will add, according to local Of
ficials, from $4,000 to 10000 person to
Philadelphia's population.
Before the establishment of the Hog
Island plant. thousands of workmen
attracted to the Delaware river ship
building yards had utilized all the
housing facilities in the district. This
made it necessary for the city to CO.
operate with the government in plan
ming for the reception of the new
army which Philadelphia is called
upon to accommodate.
More than 10000 workers will be re-
qrired to erect the houses in the COM
r,unity which will in the future be
the homes of the new arrivals 1t is
estimated, according to surveys made
at the instance of the city, that from
5000 to 1000 dwelling will be neces-
sary The cost will exceed s1O,OoO,0 900
including wages.
Another fortune will be required
for the construction of sewers, water
facilities and other sanitary arrange
ments in this new section. Streets
will be laid, miles of water pipes will
tie installed and all the heating, light
ing and transportation Accommodations
of modern city.
This working program is to be
FASTENED with all possible speed SO
that workmen who gould be used on
TIE scores of ships contracted for by
the government in Delaware river
yards will be released without delay.
| The city is still working on the
problem of police and fire protection
for the Hog sland' colony along with
other details which cannot be arrang
ed until the homes are built

BIC LEAGUE PLAYERS
IN MANY BIC TRADES

NEW YORK, Feb 5.-If the present
epidemic of trades and cash deals con-
tinues in the major leagues 1t will be
necessary to supply the baseball fan
with card index of the players when
the 1918 season opens During no
similar period Of time in the history of
the National and American leagues
has the number of player shifts equal
led those contaminated since the close
of last year pennant races Not only
in the number of players exchanged
but in the magnitude of the deals have
new records been established. Close
TO forty players and more than $780,
900 in cash is the aggregate involved
and II the magnates' statements are
correct other similar transactions are
still to be completed.
In the American League four deals
Involving twenty players and sums
approaching close to the 100000 mark,
have been made to date, with an av-
erage of five players to deal. The
National League clubs have figured In
an equal number of trades, but the
average number of players concerned
Ii not so high. Less cash, however,
was needed, as so far as is known
three of the five were made without
the passing of either currency or
checks.
From a numerical standpoint, the
deal between the New York and st.
Louis clubs of the American League
heads the list. Seven players are ex-
pected to change uniforms as a result
OF this transaction, in addition to a
sum of money, said to be about $4,000.

to include the exchange of three Bos-
ten players for the Athletics first base
man. Should such be the case the to-
tai would include ten men in all, a
re ord deal in modern baseball an

In the National League, the Brook

fer for Dilhoefer and Prendergast and
a sum of money reported to be at least

locking, as Larry Doyle went from ChS-
cago to Boston, and in turn was pass
ed on to New York by the Braves.

'SHAKESPEARE'S COUNTRY"
 UNDER WAR CONDITIONS
CBy Associated Pressl

!. STRATFORD-ON-AVON. EngIond Feb. 1 tby maiD.-Americans who in pre-war days, delighted in visiting "Shakespeare's country" would find many changes here now.
 Quietly and unostentatiouslv tbrouob the unwearying efforts of Marie CoraI- Ii, the novelist, and a few who support her artistic tastes, these past three and half years have disclosed the an ctent mysteries of Stratford. Old houses with plastered walls. which where eye.sores to the visitors and residents alike, have been stripped of their outward ugliness, to reveal the quaint picturesque Tudor architecture of ShakesDeare's time. Wherever if has been possible the early appearance of the buildings has been restored. and the effect has been a most transforma. tion and the restoration of the place as Shakespeare knew it.
 The ancient Sword of State" which hangs in Shakespeare's birthplace was .removed from it's scabbard in August 1914, as an official notice that England was at war and the people say tradi- tion forbids them to sheathe the old sword, carried by Shakespeare's faith. CT when he was high bailiff in 1568.9, until England is again at peace.
 Once, at least, since war was de- clared, Shakespeare's old home has given expression of it's feeling of gratitude to Americans for the tri. butes they have been privileged to pay to 1t from time to time. That was when the United States entered the war. President Wilson's memorable message to congress was proclaimed aloud. Many of the townfolk had almost despaired of the momentous event and it appears there were only two American flags in Stratford at the time One was a great banner owned by Miss Marie CoreIli and the other waving from the house of John Harvard's mother. Both were prompt ly hurled out into the breeze of the garden spot of England" and thus America had again come into the hearts of Shakespeare's people.

CHEERFUL COMPLIANCE
 WITH HOOVER'S RULES
tBy Associated Press)

LOS ANGELES, March 5.-This city has shown a general response, so far as these establishments are concerned, to all the rules. requirements, and sug- gestiOns of the food administration.
 The cafeteria idea, which is more prevalent here than elsewhere, requires each customer to be his own waiter. Armed with a large black tray, the customer walks along the counter be- fore a steam table, and selects his own dinner, from soup to nuts, with. out suggestion from the waiter, be- cause there is no waiter He picks up what he wants, carries it to a table, and there serves his own meal, and the system is popular here.
 Wheatless days. meatless days, pork less days, and all the variations of the general rules, are strictly observed in every cafeteria in Los Angeles. Two or three large firms control most of them, and they have obeyed every rule from the start. The smaller ones soon fell into line.
 People buying food are usually cap tious," said the manager of a cafeteria here recently "and we expect lot of criticism about the absence of favor ite dishes. But we have been agree ably surprised. People come along, fail to see any white bread. say, Oh, it's wheatless day and take the sub stitutes without murmur; and taat is true of all the articles we have been asked to serve" ..

 How the American Red Cross is re- spending to the needs of the situation affecting the welfare of children in italy is told in a cablegram received by the War Council. The Red Cross has financed the opening of a "creche' in Rome to care for about 100 chill dren of refugees, and is cooperating with private and governmental agen- cies which are dealing with families of refugees in helping thousands of children. The cablegram continues:
 Farmers of the invaded districts have large families, three to twelve children. The Red Cross has furnished to these family groups condensed milk, blankets and clothing, which have meant comfort on their hafd journey through Bologna. Florence and Naples. Scores of children are fed each day at the Red Cross kitchen at Milan. A Red Cross hospital mas
