STANDARDIZED FOOD FOR PEOPLE: 2:
 OF HOLLAND
Clothing Next on List As We'll As Cigars and
 Tobacco.

The Hague. Aug. 3-Standardized food is becoming the rule in Holland and standardized clothing may be next.
 The scarcity of meat has called into being the standard sausage, a mixture of beef and veal, reduced under gov ernment control and sold at the fixed price of OPP per pound.
 The shortage of leather is responsi- ble for the introduction of standard shoes in three grades and prices, and standard sack suits in six varieties of sober tints are promised for the near future.
 Standardization in women's clothes is urged in some quarters, but few venturesome spirits hazard any con- crete suggestions on this thorny problem.
 The latest is the standard cigar. Tobacco prices are soaring and cigars now cost twice or three times as much as they did year ago. The govern ment article will be made of the re- maining stocks of Java tobacco in the country, and provided with a wooden mouthpiece, enabling the smoker to finish the weed to the bitter end, which is expected to result in a sav- ing of 15 per cent. This cigar will retail at Dutch cents and pickers up of cigar stubs will have to look for another trade.

SPIRIT OF ALLIES WAS
 NEVER MORE STEADFAST
AIRPL. .ANE RUNS
 WILD IN MIDAIR
Skilled .Aviators Aboard, Each Thinks Other is Guiding - Hair Raising Flight.

Fort Worth, Texas, Aug. 23-An air plane running wild in mid-air and cut tlng all the daring capers that such 8 machine is capable of performing. while two skilled French aviators sat calmly in their seats each believing the other was directing the flight, re- gently amazed American aviation of- hcers and cadets here who watched its startling gyrations.
 Eventually, after hair-raising loops, dives and side-slips in which the air plane almost grazed the earth, it dove nose-f1rst into the ground, driving the engine back through the fusilage up to where one of the aviators sat, but 1njuring neither of them.
 The two French aviators who so narrowly escaped death were Le Mai tre and Soulier who have brought down several German airplanes in the fighting on the western front in France
 Le Maitre was in the back seat and took the plane from the ground. The machine had climbed a few hundred feet when Soulier raised his hands to his head, the usual signal of a pilot that he will take control of the plane. So Le Maitre sat at ease.
 Then for eight minutes the airplane never before had been seen by the spectators. It comprised the whole known category of stunts and added new ones, with amazing suddenness. Those below gasped in wonderment when the machine suddenly dived within a few feet of the ground. It seemed impossible that any one would handle the machine with such dexter ity and reckless abandon.
 The spectators, however saw Le Maitre and Soulier smiling calmly.
 Suddenly the plane crashed down ward and buried it's nose in the earth. The aviators stepped calmly from un- der the demolished plane and faced each other.
 What do you think you are doing, anyway; trying to scare me, eh?" said Le Maitre.
 What was trying to do?'' echoed Soulier. What were you trying to do to me?"
 Then it developed that during the eight minutes they had been in the air neither aviator had touched the controls. Soulier had been merely adjusting his helmit when Le Maitre saw the movement and mistook it for a signal that Soulier intended to take control of the airplane. While the machine was running wild, each avia- tor thought the other was trying to Ia l.;
 T was determined not to exhibit any feeling,'' said Le Maitre when the situation was explained. q thought Soulier was trying some stunts to test my nerve.''
 T thought the same thing" said Soulier.

 IN IRELAND

Dublin, Aug. 23-A remarkable story illustrating pro-German senti- ment in Ireland was told at the Cavan Assizes. Sergeant O'Reilly of the Royal Dublin Fusliers had fought at Mons where he was made a prisoner by the Germans. After three years as a prisoner of war he was returned to Ireland and stated that Irish pris- oners who could not be induced by Sir Roger Easement to accept the Ger man offers had their ratlons cut down and were subjected to torture.
 This interview as was given in evil dence caused local hostility against the sergeant, because it was "an un- kind aspersion on the Germans" whom the Irish neighbors of O'ReilIy described as decent people" The indignation resulted in the burning of the sergeants dwelling house and fur niture and the case came before the Court to assess damages for malicious injury. Judge Gibson awarded 60 pounds, remarking:
 The burning was a cowardly and treacherous act, and 1t makes me sick to think that persons calling them selves Irishmen would be guilty of it"

ENCL AND HAS A "SAvE THE BABY"
 CAMP AICN ON

London, Aug. 23-(Correspondence of The Associated Press)-The man reputed to be the worlds most suc- cessful baby-saver has come to Lon don to save lives for the British Elm pire and thereby replenish wars rav- ages. He is Dr. Truby King, founder of the Royal New Zealand Society for the Health of Women and Children, an organization that has reduced the infantile death rate in New Zealand from about 5 to 1000 to AS. The New Zealand government has lent him for year to the mother country to teach women here how to care for their young.
 Every mother" he says, fought to be told the full extent of maternal re- sponsibiltty and privilege. The child may we'll ask of his mother-when he comes to know what makes or mars a human being more than any factor of life: Did you give me the milk which the good God gave with every mother, or did you rob me of my birthright.''
 It is not, according to pr. King, the poor and ignorant who fail most in parental duties. He adds:
 "The burden of bearing children is, for the most part, taken up by peo- pie who have the least means and, in a larger proportion of cases, they set an example as regards natural nursing and personal care-in two words, complete motherhood-which is so often shirked by those of ample means and leisure. Civilized nations are recruiting their populations from parents who, relatively speaking, have failed in the battle of life from one cause or another. and not from those who have succeeded"

 In the north the British Third army has pushed the Germans 80 danger ously near Bapaume that the German command has found 1t necessary to counter attack in force. The boss of Bapaume would amount to a disaster, according to opinion here.
 The front from Lassigny to the Somme remains stationary. Expect ed fall of Rove has not yet occurred but Rove has lost its importance now under the fire of the French artillery and useless to. the enemy.
 Paris, Aug. 23-The Franco-British successes on Thursday increased the menace to Rove and Noyon and rend- cred their fall near, says the Echo de Paris. It adds that Paris has been made safer by the operations of the army of Gen. Humbert and that Sois- sons has been made more secure by the capture of Pommiers and Vaux- regis.
 Paris, Aug. 23-Between the Disc and the Aisne French troops ad- vanced their lines during the night to Guny and Pont St. Mard just south of the Ailette river. They hold the right banks of the Disc and the Ail- cite from Sempigny to the railroad west of Coucy le Chateau, says to- days war office statement.

In their retreat across the Disc the Germans did not have time to destroy the bridges. Some were found intact, while others were damaged.
 Cavalry is rendering marked ser vice in the pursuit of the enemy. Not only are there cavalry advance guards but other troopers are following the infantry to take care of the machine gun nests left behind by the Germans to be sacrificed in attempting to check the French advance. Aviators preceded the cavalry. They are dis persing enemy rear guards who at- tempt to make a stand and are break ing up and scattering conveys on the crowded roads with machine gun fire.
 Batteries of guns and ammunition wagons with the horses at the galBop were pushing north today through an immense dust cloud over the fields where yesterday the German rear guard fought desperately to save part of their artillery. Many of the Ger man guns had to be left behind, as we'll as a great number of machine guns.

GERMANS ADMIT
 U. s. ARMY SIZE
Accept Bakers Figures, But Say Only 100000 Are in
 Battle Lines.

Amsterdam, Aug. 23-At last the German press has given up struggling against the truth. In a short notice, which appears in virtually all the pa perG the identical nature of which suggests official inspiration, the re- luctant admission is made that Secre- tary Bakers figures regarding the strength of the American forces in France are about correct.
 One or two papers add the lame ex- planation that their former figures were based on the position prior to May, and that the really big ship meHts of men from America began since then.
 The papers now comfort them selves with the thought that of the 100000 or more Americans, only 100000 are actually in battle array, with 300,000 behind the front, and that the remaining 6OO,O0O are "etap- pen" troops (engineers, railway men and general workers.)
 The Berelin Taeglische Rundschau adds as its own information that no more than 150,000 American have, to the present, been noticed" on the west front.
 Tie anxiety of the German war correspondents to impress the home readers that the elastic defence in nowise impairs German discipline or fighting spirit is apparent.
 Thus the correspondent of the Col ogne Gazette tells of a stiff fight Aug 16 and IT, west of Rove in which the Hessians let the enemy come to close quarters, when, under cover of ma chine gun fire, they leaped out and re. pulsed the attack in a standing LII fight with volleys of rife fire, and tha' likewise East Prussian infantry bea- of a tank attack, Aug. IT southwes of Rove.
 He adds that 145 disabled tank were counted in front of the lines heiC by Won Hutier's army between Aug and 12.
 The Cologne Volks Zeitung cores pendent pays on involuntary tribute t the efficacy of the Entente pamphle propaganda carried on by airplanes saying that these pamphlets "are s seductively worded that any one wh is not well informed may almost, i not entirely, be persuaded"
 He therefore calls for a vigorou counter propaganda to "enlighten doubing spirits in the army.

TURN IN YOUR OLD CANES

New York, Aug. 23.-If you have an old cane and are willing to part with it you can do an act of patriotism by communicating with Frank W. Beck, telephone 3996 Columbus. He is the doorman at the Spencer Arms apart ment, 140 West 69th street.
 Among those living in the house are Walter H. McIlroy, assistant field di- rector of the American Red Cross at Ellis Island, and Mrs. Walter H. Mo Ilroy of the Red Cross West Side branch.
 One day last week MT. r.McIlroy came home dejected. Doorran Beck noting 1t, asked him the trouble. MT. Me llroy related that many of the wound ed American youths, for lack of some thing better, were hobbling about, us- ing broom and shovel handles for sup ports.
