Turkish and Greek Women.

Turkish women never serve in Chris

WHY WE MUST SAVE FOOD.

The 1917 wheat crop in France wns
pess than half normal. using the crop
of 1913 us basis OF comparison.
There was shortage Of 176,OOO,OOO
bushels. or 1913 per cent. The potato
crop was only within one-third Of nor
mal. The sugar beet crop showed a
deficit OF G7.0 per cent. Her meat
herds In the early fall showed short
age Of 100000 animals.
Those are few Of the reasons
America must feed her associates in
the war. They are no longer able to
feed themselves, and unless we come
70 the rescue are face to face with
starvation. And starvation means de-
feat In the war.

COTTON.

New Orleans, Sept. 5.-A wide de-
cline occurred during the opening
Of the cotton market today under
heavy selling stimulated by the an
nouncement from Washington that
the war industries board would con-
slider fixing the price OF cotton. In
the first half hour OF business. the
trading months lost 68 to "a points.
The selling-out movement on the
long side increased as the session
grew older and prices fell away
sharply In the trading up to noon,
the net decline was widened to 1856
to 1874 points. The new market was
25 points up from the bottom. A
moderate recovery from the decline
came about on fresh buying for the
long account and profit taking by
shorts. At | o'clock, the trading
months were at net decline Of l27
to 1870 points.

WAR SUMMARY
(Bv The Associated Press)

(By The Associated Press)
The Germans have begun q gen.
eral retreat from the Vesle river,
between Scissors and Rheims. Cen
eral Mangin has advanced his lines
to the edge of the plateau from Naux
Cere TO Basleiux TO position to
the north dominating the Aisne and
the Chemin des Danes.
American patrols confirm reports
that the enemy has moved his stores
and supplies; and additional terri
tory in this sector IS expected to be
taken with little more than rear
guard opposition.
Elsewhere along the battle front,
from Rheims to Ypres, the German
retreat continues, heavy gains hav-
ing been made by the French who
are advancing in the direction OF
Ham after taking Guiscard. Over
coming strong resistance, General
Humbert's army broke the line and
advanced in this section from four
to seven miles on line from Mont
St. Simeon 10 the Canal du Nord.
The concentration of German
troops in the wide front before Cam
brai has served to slow down the
British advance in this section. ap-
preciably although some progress
is being made.
While the situation in the north
shows that the allies are fast driv-
ing the enemy to a territory less
susceptible of defense and approach

!Airplanes will be widely used, after
the war, for purposes of exploration
and survey, said Harold Brighouse,
Of the Royal Geographical Society,
10 a representative Of The Associated
Press, commenting on the announce
ment that Captain Amundsen's s
.Actic expedition, which has just
sailed, has taken three airplanes as
part Q; its equipment.
Captain Amundsen will use these
airplanes for geographical and
meteorological research in the
Arctic, SAID Mr.. Brighouse, "and
they should prove very useful in this
connection. With peace will come q
large extension OF the use or the
airplane in exploration
There IS no reason why the re-
motest parts OF Africa or the upper
waters OF the Amazon should remain
unmapped Aerial photography has
reached 4 stage when all that is
necessary for exact map-drawing is a
continuous series OF air photographs.
Tracts of Portuguese East Africa,
which had never before been charted,
were. in fact mapped by means OF
the air photography of British
aviators.
THE undiscovered natural re-
sources OF new country can be
observed from airplanes. The eye
Of the observer reveals much; the
air-camera even now is an excellent
guide in indicating the kind OF wood
growing in a forest, and will be OF
greater utility still as the develop
ment of aerial color photography
progresses.
Railway service through savage
lands. which, both in life and money,
has been a tremendously costly pre-
liminary to construction. will become
safe, and SO cheap as to prevent no
financial obstacles whatever, to
survey which uses aerial photo
graphv.
Not only can the course OF rivers
be traced, but their nayigable chan
nels can be ascertained, and the COM
bined discovery made OF valuable
natural products together with the
best means Of transporting them by
river.
Water, then as now. will probably
be the explorers chief guide and his
machine is more likely to be OF the
seaplane type, with floats than the
airplane type, with wheels. He will
flv high. and should he have to make
forced landing, will steer for lake
and river rather than for the rare
open spaces OF q tropical forest.
For the air explorer, the romance
of flying will presist; the value OF
the work he will do is obvious; and
there are many pilots in the allied
armeis today who will find in aerial
explorations play for the typically
British spirit OF adventure.
an the future of aviation there is
elbow room for all. the sportsman
pilot will find in exploration by the
air an enterprise made to his taste"
