Alcohol As a By.Product of Bread

Through the seizure Of a still in a
bakery in New Mexico. where a
quantity of alcohol was discovered
that had been distilled from bake
oven fumes, considerable discussion
has taken place concerning the feas-
Utility of manufacturing alcohol as
a by-product of bread.
This still was a crudely construct
ed affair." the vapor from the bread
being conducted from the oven into
a worm, which was cooled by passing
through a barrel of water, condens-
ing the vapor The baker was not
arrested, as it was clearly shown
that no evasion Of the law was in
tended. However, possession of a
still is in violation of the law. and
this one was seized by the internal
revenue service. This baker states
that quantities of alcohol can be
manufactured for war use at very
small cost by army bake shops and
bakers in large cities. The practi-
cability Of the plan remains to be
worked out.

This is atruly wonderful story. All
the stories with which this rod is con
nected are wonderful. 1t is ~variously
called the rod of Aaron, the rod Of
Moses, and the rod Of the Lord. Held
over the rivers Of Egypt, they turn;
to the appearance of blood; held over
the land Of Egypt, the plauges Of
frogs or of flies appeared; held over
the Red Sea, it opens up a dry high
wsy for the fleeing slaves; held to-
ward the desert, abundance of quail
flock to the relief of the meat-hungry
Israealites; striking the rock in Horeb,
plentiful waters gush forth for the
mulittudes and their herds encamp-
ed there.
Now at Rephidim for the first time
since they left Egypt these unwarlike
Israelities are confronted by a hostile
and military enemy in the person of
the tribe of Amalek; and there was
nothing for them to do except either
surrender. and go into another and
worse bondage, or to fight for their
freedom, trusting that somehow the
God who had rescued them from
Egypt would give them the victory
yer their unrignteous and aggressive
antagonists.
Moses sent the intrepid and trust
worthy. Joshua to select or to draft
suitable fighting men to go with him
to battle, while Moses himself went
up to the hilltop with the rod Of God
in his hand; and while he stretched
forth the rod over the field of battle

when his arms fell to his side too
weary to hold the rod any longer

THEN AND NOW
THE LIBERTY LOAN.

THE LIBERIY LUAN,
BY A. c. Townley, President Nonparisian League. -. -.
There has never been a moment since the war began when the
people Of the United States should 81 Fundamentally support our
government and to make this support effective they must help
finance the war.
The carrying out Of President Wilson's peace program is essential
if this war is to result in forwarding the cause of democracy and
humanity. President Wilson's peace program cannot be carried out
unless our soldiers and those of our Allies prevail against the central
powers. They cannot prevail unless they are supported at home.
We must support them. Every individual should give to the limit of
his power.
The war on the part of our selves and our allies is becoming more
and more a peoples wal. 1t is resulting in the extension of democracy.
The security of this new-won democracy and the safety Of our own
democratic institutions are now hanging in the balance. The future
of u children and* chldrens children may be at stake. These
bonds are liberty bonds in fact IS we'll as name. Liberty itself may
depend upon our response.

Military Men Are Sorely Puzzled at Delay of
 Counter Attack
RAINBOW DIVISION IS
 THOUGHT IN BATTLE
This Command Was Back of the Front in Reserve When Big Drive
 Commenced

Washington, April 5. (Spe- cial. The failure of General Foch to order an offensive when the German drive, by weather conditions and the ne- cessity of bringing forward big guns, came to a pronounced halt, in connection with the re- sumption of the drive attended by a limited success, has caused official Washington to assume a grave attitude respecting the war situation.
 But the confidence is not shaken, and army officers experss positive conviction that the Teutons will even- tually be slaughtered and that all they will have bought by unprecedented loss of troops will be barren territory of no more importance than an exten- Isive cemetery.
 The Germans are within eight miles of Amiens, their objective. They are ap- parently determined to capture this point and the allies may be counted upon to defend 1t with all their resources. Won Hindenburg, according to Washington opinion, believes that the capture of Amiens will be followed either by the surrender of the English army or the driving of Haig's forces out of France.
 WASHINGTON,S OPINION
 Washington admits that the Germans in possession of Amienss would have a direct. though not an open path, either to the coast or Paris. Xx2ehin9ton opinion differs from that of Berlin in this respect: Officials here believe that with Amiens captured the allies could still make a determined stand from which victory would result. while Won Hindenburg is apparently convinced that to gain positive decision by summer. he must take Amiens. great railroad center connecting Paris. and the present base of allied supplies.
