FIFTEEN BILLION DOLLARS
TO BACK UP OUR ARMY.
Secretary Baker Asks Congress for
Huge Sum-SenatOr McCumber De-
mandS Five Million Men.

Secretary Baker has asked congress
to appropriate fifteen billion dollars
for the army for the next fiscal year.
This is a great increas over the sum
asked for last year. Large expendi-
lures will be made for ordnance. This
does not include the navy.
Senator McCumber of North Dako-
ia, in criticizing the pogress made, de-
manded that an army of five million
men be made ready for France. The
results of Americas efforts have been
almost negligible up to the present he
said. Six months have been wasted
by the shipping board, and s64O, 900, 900
for aircraft has been worse than
squandered.
"If W. fail to put 5000, 900 men on
the fighting line before the end of an
other year." he continued, I'VE will
again have grossly failed to measure
up to our moral duty. We will have
charged to our discredit another veal
of colossal ~blunders."
Senator McCumber contrasted a
statement of President Schwab of the
emergency fleet corporation that the
United States would produce ship tom
mage of only 10000, 900 deadweight in
1919 with estimates of U-boat losses
Of 100000 gross tons in 1918, and
said:
"A program which contemplates but
10000, 900 tonnage is trifling with the
most serious question that ever con-
fronted the people of this country. It
is worse than trifling; it is suicidal.
"Our only hope of winning this
war is in being able to keep our allies
in the field another yeyar. That means
that it is incumbent upon us to supply
them with food. If we can't get armies
into the field. let us at least feed and
send munitions to those who are fight
ing our battles.
I'VE seem'to have gotten bewildered
in a maize of little things and to have
lost sight of the great requirements"
he said. The failure of our shipping
board is the most aggravating exam
pie of failure to grasp a big situation"

VICTORIA CROSS is
AWARDED AVIATORS
Two Members of Royal Aviation Force
Perform ValOrOus Deeds.

The Victoria cross has been awarded
to Lieutenant Allan Gerard and Alan
Arnet Mcleod of the Royal air force
for deeds which stand out, even. among
the exploits in this branch of the SER
vice.
Gerard, when on an offensive pa
troll with two others, attacked five
enemy airplanes. shooting one down
in flames. He then attacked an enc
my airdrome, engaging single-handed
some nineteen machines. which either
were landing or starting off, and
crashed n of them against the air
drome. A large number of machines
then attacked Gerard, but, seeing one
of his companions in difficulty. he
went to his assistance and destroyed
a third enemy machine.
Fresh enemy machines were rising
from the airdrome and he attacked
them one after another and only re-
treated when ordered to do so. Five
machines pursued him, but he turned,
although apparently wounded. and re-
peatedly attacked them until, over
whelmed by numbers, he was driven
down.
Mcleod, while flying at an altitude
Of 5000 feet, was attacked by eight
enemy machines. which dived at him
from all directions. firing from their
front guns. BY skillful maneuvers, he
enabled his observer to fire bursts at
each machine in turn. shooting three
down.
BY this time both Mcleod and his
observer were wounded and their
machine was in flames. Mcleod
climbed u on the plane, controlling
the machine from the side, and by
side-slipping steeply he kept the
flames confined to one side, thus en-
abling the observer TO keep on firing
until the ground was reached.
Mcleod dragged the observer from
the flaming machine and, although
again wounded by a bomb, p~esevered
until he had placed his companion in
safety, when he fell from exhaustion
due to loss of blood.

Attach Bombs TO Souvenirs

A dispatch from France says:
In the recent battle at %Seicheprey,
northwest of Toul, the Germans, Just
before being driven out of the village,
scattered helmets, bayOnets, belts and
other equipment, planning on the
fondness of American soldiers for
souvenirs. To each of these SOU
venirs" was attached a wire connect
ing with a high-explosive bomb.
A few Americans, eager for keep
sakes, were wounded in this fashion,
but the majority had been previously
warned by their superior officers to
beware of such devices and of the old
German trick usually played before
retiring from the field of battle. The
Yankees were too wideawake for
Fritz to trap them in this way.
During the last twenty-four hours
artillery activity along the Toul and
Verdun sector has been the quietest
in weeks.
The Americans at the front have
banished the name "Sammies." 1t has
never been popular with them. They
also dislike "Amexes," as we'll as the
sobriquet ~"Buddies," which has been
spreading along the whole American
front of late. 1t was introduced by
former Montana cowboys, one of whom
said:
1T means pals We allies are all
pals. 'Buddies' means the Yankee
pals of the French, British and Ital-
ians."
Writers here and at home are
w~racking their brains for a suitable
name for the American soldiers in
foreign service. The term Yankees"
is most emphatic and expressive Of
the national scope. The allied troops
like it. Some Americans claim the
only objection to it is that it might be
offensive to southerners. But officers
and men generally agree that there is
no Mason and Dixon line now. To
all Europe Yankees" means "Ameri-
cans" northerners as we'll as south
erners. Besides, it has the punch. "

"THE DISCIPLE HAS
A GRIPPING PLOT
William $. Harris Powerful Play in
Triangle PrOgranif Holds Spectators

features of the Triangle program at

able as a play. but also as putting
forth the favorite star. William S.

A western plot that holds the in
terest of spectators t~ensely from be-

story. A frontier missionary Twill

point of a revolver the hostility of
the cowpunchers to religion and build
ing his church, splits with God" be-
cause his wife elopes with Doc"
Hardy, ex-physician and the village
saloon keeper. With his little daugh-
ter he goes to the mountains and
takes up a new life.
But the child falls ill of mountain
fever. Just at this time Hardy finds
it necessary to return to the village.
Mary returns with him, and in a VIC
lent storm ONE to her husbands
cabin. Houston takes her in for the
child's sake. He goes for Hardy as
the only physician who can save the
child. The child's life is saved. Mary,
forced to make her choice between the
missionary and Hardy. points toward
the child and goes to its bedside.
Houston is about to kill Hardy
when he e a vision of the crucifx-
ion, with this legend in the sky above
the three crosses: Father, forgive
them. for they know not what they
do" He relents, and Hardy goes
forth free.
The Triangle eye for detail is exer-
cised splendidly in THE Disciple -
The sets showing the western village
and the cruciixion leave nothing to
be desired. The storm scenes are real
istic to a degree.

MARINES NEED RECRUITS.
New Drive for Men Started to Provide
for Increased Personnel to Be
Authorized.

The marine corps has started an
other drive for recruits to provide for
the increased personnel authorized by
a bill passed by the house and now
awaiting senate action. Major Gen
eral Barnett. commandant of the
corps. announced that 1872 recruits
we're enrolled from April l to April
25 and that from 100 to 200 men are
being enlisted daily. The total
strength of the corps now, including
members of the reserve and national
naval volunteers, is about AZ 1000, but
the pending bill would authorize an
increase to $4,000 in order that the
marine corps may maintain a full d.
vision of men on the fighting line in
France.

a veto of the Koerner resolution, pro-
viding that the city buy $500, 900 worth

resolution should be so amended as to
provide for its legalizing by the leg
islature and that the city ought to be
recompensed for the outlay by levying

GERMANS USE IMPROVED TANK.
Three Sizes Used, Heavier ArmOred,
Twice the Speed OF British Tanks.
With Flame ThrOwers Added.

The Germans are known to be using
tanks of three classes, the first type
consisting of captured and repaired
machines taken in the Cambria bat
ties, and tanks manufactured accord
ing to the British model. The second
type is a German model, smaller than
the British, but swifter, better armed.
and more heavily armored. The third
type is a land cruiser or large model
tank.
The swift tanks are said to be 26
feet long, 10 feet wide and II feet
high. The land cruiser is As feet long.
IL feet wide and Is feet high. The
speed of the German tanks varies be-
tween four and one-half and nine and
oDe-half miles per hour. The arma-
ment is believed to consist of a shOr-
tened millimeter gun. machine guns
and a flame thrower. The latter is
an innovation which must add con-
siderable efficiency in clearing tren-
ohes, owing to the capacity Of the
machines to carry big reserves Of com
bustible liquid.
1t is understood that the Germans
have introduced a number of improve
ments. including a heavier protection
against shells and a device enabling
the crew to close the tank hermeti-
cally while t~raversing gassed areas
In attacks the tanks are designed to
advance behind the second and third
waves of infantry, while detachments
Of infantry cover their flanks.

POTATO SEED TREATMENT.
All Seed Should Be Soaked in
Solution to Eradicate Scab
and RhizactOnia.

Before planting potatoes soak
them one hour and a half in
a solution made by dissolving
n ounce of corrosive subli-
mate in seven and a half gal
Ions of water. Solution should
be prepared in a wooden YES
sci. The solution a be used
four times. but not more.
The above quantity is suffi-
cient for about 200 pounds of
potatoes. Do not take any
chances by planting without
treating the seed.
Fusarium Wilt can not be
cured by treatment, as it is
not a surface disease. Cut
about a quarter or an inch off
the stem end of the potato. If
a blue or brown ring is found
about an eighth to a quarter of
an inch from the surface, do
not S such potatoes for seed.
They are infected with fusar-
ium wilt. And do not use the
knife cutting such potatoes
again until it is disinfected in
the solution given above. as
1t will transmit the disease to
potatoes on which it is used.

traordinary precautions to guard
against a rumored enemy alien con-
spiracy to destroy Pacific coastwise
shipping On May 5, the anniversary of
the birth of Karl Marx, noted German
Socialist.
According to information received
from the capital, the plotters planned
to use nine-day chemical bombs, which
were to be secreted in the cargoes of
ships.
Federal agents declared they were
confident that precautions taken had
frustrated the purported plot.

Use of Bran and Shorts in Lieu
of Wheat Flour.

of Wheat Flour.
Bran and shorts are being
widely used throughout the
country in lieu of white wheat
flour. Shorts. particularly may
be used practically the same
as flour without any other flour
ingredient. and the resulting
breads are excellent. At most
not to exceed Is to 20 per cent
wheat flour is needed with
either bran or shorts to pro-
duce most excellent breads.
Some make splendid bread
from shorts alone.
Neither bran nor shorts can
at present be purchased as a
part of the requisite wheat
substitutes to be taken with a
wheat flour purchase, but they
can be purchased separately
and no substitutes need be pur-
chased with either of them.
The use of bran and shorts gen.
orally instead of wheat flour
will entirely do away with the
burden of paying high prices for
wheat substitutes. The food
administration earnestly urges
everyone to give them a trial.
