CONSERVATION OF FOODS IS ASKED BY
 ADMINISTRATOR

The Food Administration relies on the hearty cooperation of the vast majority of hotelkeepers and other proprietors of public eating places to observe the regulations voluntarily, but is prepared to use the full force of it's power against the few who would interfere with the success Of the plan.
 Attention Is especially directed to- wards the conservation of bread and butter, cereals, meats, fats, E-lgar, cof- fee, cheese and ice, to fresh vegeta- bles and fruits which should be serv- ed when possible, and to unnecessary suppers, teas, luncheons and ban uuets, which are condemned as fourth" meals. The Food Admin as possible.
 Simplified service, with meats and vegetables on one plate instead of in side dishes, and only necessary sil- verware, and simplifcation of the menu and the menu card are urged as means of saving not only food but labor and Pe-ag. The general bill of fare shouI> abandoned be- cause the great variety of dishes list ed makes waste through spoilage Simple bills for breakfast, luncheon and dinner with limited dishes, chang ed from day to day for variety, are recommended, also the use of hors d'oeuvres, vegetable salads, fruits, sea- foods, made-over dishes and anima, 1 by-products, which save staples ano 1 utilize many available foods.
 The war program discourages the table d'hote meal except when con l fined to few courses and small varie- ty, as on the Continent. America- plan hotels should require guests tc write orders, and all menus should be in plain English, actually describing | the food.

LENINE SAYS CZECHS
MUST BE CRUSHED
Bolshevik Officers Unreliable,
Adds Trotzky.

AMSTERDAM, Aug, 1o.-Hans Worst.
the Moscow correspondent Of the Berlin
TdgeblGtt, reporting the meeting OF the
Central Executive Committee OF the
Soviets on July rs, says that Nikolai
Lenine, the Bolshevik Premier, was en-
Enthusiastically cheered. In the course of
his speech Lenine referred to the dan
gers threatening the revolution and en-
phasized the necessity of combating
war weariness. because the revolution,
he said. was fighting for its existence.
He instanced cases where the Red Army
was Withdrawing, although stronger
than the opposing Czecho-Slovaks.
The fatal plans of Anglo-French i'm
perialism.' said Lenine, ''can only be
frustrated II we succeed in crushing the
Czecho- -Slovaks and their counter revo-
luttonary partisans on the yolga, in the
Urals and in Siberia. This is the urgent
task and all others must be relegated
to the background. All our forces must
be devoted to the war"
Leon Trotzky. the War Minister,
pointed out that sufficient Red Guards
could be sent against the Czecho- Slovaks
to outnpmber them two or three times
over. He referred to the enthusiasm Of
the Czecho-Sloyaks, which. apparently,
was lacking among the Soviet troops.
and added:
I'VE are now forced to send our best
leaders among the workers to the front
as agitators and organizers"
Complaining OF the lack of officers,
Trotzky said THE Russian officers are
counter-revolutionari but the hour
has come to master them. Concentra-
tion camps will be established for offi-
GERS who DO not loyalty serve the Red
Army. Several already serving have
proved unreliable and cases OF treachery
have occurred.
Every officer In command must be
watched on both sides by war commissA =
ries with revolvers In their hands No
officer will be allowed to take a single
step without supervision. and df ne
wavers he will be shot. Recruiting
among workmen will be extended. They
must make company with death, for
only then can they hope to make a COM
pact also with victory"

LONDON, Aug. 1o.-Reuters
correspondent with the Brit
ish Army in France lends the fol-
lowing despatch concerning the
German Crown Prince:
According to the statements
of prisoners the German Crown
Prince appears to be the most
unpopular leader in the Ger

them of being directly respon-
sible for the Marne disaster.
They say that the opinion is
widely expressed by German

Princes amateurish interfer-

experienced Generals was the
starting point for the present

One Man Tank Suggested.

The tank is a complete answer to the
tactics Of the fortified zone which the
Germans first used early this year after
they had abandoned the rigid lines Of
formal trench warfare. The increas sed
speed Of the light tanks makes up for
their reduction In armor protection. The
armor must make the tanks impei~iovs
to rife and machine gun bullets, but
th,.r only protection against the direct
hits Of held artillery is their speed.
The true line Of development. for tanks
is toward increased lightness and In
creased speed. One Is not sure. In
deed, whether the best answer TO the
growing power Of the defence In modern
warfare would not be found In principle
In a one man tank for infantrymen.

WITH THE BRITISH ARMY IN FRANCE,
Aug. 10.-From early this morning
until noon l walked over the Plcardy
battlefield, including much Of what
yesterday was No Mans Land and
the forward German trenches. One
could stray over the great deserted
plain while the guns Numbered In
termittently and airplanes buzzed
overhead.
The chief impression one gets Is
the great number Of German dead.
We know our own casualties are
light. From indications the enemy s
are the heaviest in any battle thus
far fought. saw so many German
dead on that part of the field I trav-
ersed that ! am not exaggerating
when say that there were from
eight to ten enemy dead for every
one Of our own. l regret that I did
not take time to make an actual
count, but men engaged In salvage
work tell me their impression was
the same as my own.
Growing Grain Ripe.
The battle field. which includes vir-
I tually all of the Santerre plateau, is
an extraordinary sight. 1t is wide
level expanse OF farm land, destitute
Of trees or hedges. The crops already
we're in the ground before the German
, advance in March drove the cultiva-
tors away Lacking attention the
grain grew and ripened, much freer
Of weeds than one would expect. There
are fields of wheat, barley. oats and
rye. now ready to harvest and we'll
worth harvesting. Many acres OF
/ clover should have been cut before
sw9rming with butterflies. especially
| swallow tails, pale clouded yellows and
painted ladies. There were many
patches Of potatoes and saw n num-
Der OF Canadians detailed to dig them.
They found an excellent yield. with
FIVE or six big tubers in each hill. one
man already had harvested two big
sackfuls.
All this was ground which yester-
day was we'll behind the German lines.
The growing fields of grain are in
| tersected by paths made by soldiers
going to and from their trenches.
, They are pitted with shell holes and
SCARED by trench lines and machine
gun positions, while yesterday our
tanks broke great trails through the
fields of waving grain.

were able to direct our artillerymen in

the fire from their machine guns into the

the Germans to retreat In order. Fifty
British machines were reported missing

them shot down as they few low over
the enemys lines. Forty eight German
