The use of peanut flour in bread
making will save an equivalent guam
tity of wheat for the allies. Peanut
flour is a good part substitute for
wheat flour in bread or pastry max
ing, says the United States depart

are the peanuts coming from? There
is already such an increased demand
for peanuts, both for use in their orig
inal state and for the manufacture of
peanut butter and other products, that
the crop doesn't last long. We must
grow more.

Nature of Course to Be Pursued by
America Kept Secret.


America Kept Secret.
Washington, d. C.-America's wait
ing policy in regard to military &C
ton in Russia is understood to have
ended July at a conference at the
White House between President Will
son and Secretaries Lansing, Baker
and Daniels, Admiral Benson, chief OF
naval operations, and General March,
chief of staff
President Wilson called into con
ference Secretaries Lansing and Dan
iels and Admiral Benson, chief of op-
erations of the navy. There was no
statement of the purpose, but a re-
port spread that the conference had
to do with the Russian situation.
1t is known that the president had
been earnestly urged by representa-
tives of the allies during the last
week to approve American and allied
military Intervention in Siberia and
that the subject has been given re-
newed serious consideration.
Belief among the majority of Amer
lean military men that noeXpeditiOn
on an extended scale should be under
taken in the east apparently has I'M
dergone no change. An official in
timated the decision did not mean
the sending of any great military
force.
The intimation was given that the
conference marked the end of the
period of waiting.
Any military measures that may be
put into effect along the Transsibe-
rian railroad or southwark from KOla
will not interfere with the American
plans for lending material aid.

Tells of Fighting Near the Clouds.

Ensign Stephen Porter, of United
States Naval Reserve Force, killed in
action with German planes April 20
last, was the first American naval avi-
ator to shoot down and destroy Ger
man seaplane, according to a Navy
department statement.
The report states that on March
10, 1918, long-distance reconnaissance
of the German coast was made by
large American flying boats operating
from a British Royal Air Force sta
ton. Ensign Porter was one of two
American naval aviators accompany
ing this expedition, and Porter was
successful in shooting down a Ger
man seaplane which attacked the re-
connaisance formation. A second en-
envy seaplane found safety in running
away.
Porter's death reflects credit on his
courage. He was killed in a fight
with seven enemy single-seaters.
Provide Fresh Water.

ter trains The trains are under the
jurisdiction of the Army Medical De
partment They are miniature water
works, which chemically treat, filter,
and sterilize water, making it fit for
consumption. What municipal water
works do to insure healthful water to
the people of a city these trains do
for the soldiers.
Use More Small Arms.
German timidity before American
pistol fighters armed with American
AS caliber automatic pistols has
brought about a change in the equip
ment of the American Expeditionary
forces by the war department, and
the ordinance department is rushing
production of these weapons. About
5000 are turned out daily and pro
duction is increasing. Then impres
sion exists that a shot front Jan Am
erican AS takes a man out of action
completely. Men hit from the small
er German pistols frequently con
tinue in action effectively. The AZ
caliber was adopted by the United
States army in 1911.
Despite the heavy increased de
mand for these pistols the ammuni
ton branch of the ordnance depart
ment has effected a saving during thu
past two calendar months of nearly
$2,000,000 mostly on small arms am
munition, such as AS caliber bal
cartridges, 80 shells, and on clip
and bandoliers.
The total savings by the ordnance
department for these two months
through salvage, waste prevention
and the utilization or sale of discard
ed materials have aggregated $S,757
OPS. Cost of Vickers machine gun
has been reduced $322.35 each; Col
machine guns, $2S416 each; Levi
machine guns, $22 each. Government
rifles now cost $22 each, reduction
of $13 each.
