MORE PEACE TALK

About every so often the German government puts
forth a peace feeler in the shape Of a more or legs vague
announcement Of the general terms on which Germany
Will be willing to make peace. These announcements
have come to be known as peace offensives. because they
are really war moves rather than steps in the direction
Of real peace. Such a statement has just been made by
the German chancellor. and 1t has been received In the
customary manner.
The only interesting thing about the chancellor's late
speech is that it is couched in a little less truculent form
than that to which we have been accustomed. The for
mer proposals, based on the policy Of conceding to Ger
many everything for which she has been fighting, having
been received with disdain by the Allies there is evidence
Of moderation in the German tone for the evident pur-
pose of obtaining from the Allies some light on the prob
ability of their acceptance of less drastic terms than have
yet been proposed.
The best answer, and the best indication Of the Al
lied attitude, is found in the continuation of the smash
ing drive of the Italians against the Austrians, and Of the
spirited assault made on the German lines by the Amer
leans north of Chateau Therry. The American attack
was on a small front, and it involved no great number of
men, but it was made with vigor and carried out with
success. Doubtless other answers Of like character are
in course of preparation.

Gerrnans1 launched their supreme effort, the allied war
council had worked out a program BY which 4 mobile
force Of 100000 men. composed Of 100000 French, 2oo..
900 British. 100000 Italians and 200, 900 Americans. was
to be organized to support offensive operations wherever
the allied council should direct.
This program. however, was never. fully carried out
because in the emergency following the hrst German
thrust a new agreement was entered into by the allies in
which General Foch was made supreme. generalissimo
and all fighting men Of the allies were pooled, together
with supplies and equipment. There is nov no Foch
reserve army, because as supreme commander. Foch has
at his command, all the active forces arrayed against
the Huns.
The Germans are welcome to the belief that the allied
army of reserve has been wiped out: such a belief will
only add to the suddenness and the shock Of their awak-
ening at some not far distant day.-Kalamazoo Gazette.

CONSERVE EVERYTHING

In an article on food production and conservation DR..
Wiley, former head Of the Pure Food department at
Washington, emphasizes the Importance Of producing and
saving food. almost regardless Of cost. The important
thing, he would have us understand, is that food shall be
produced. not that 1t shall be produced at a reasonable
cost. ..
He says that a dollar in money is we'll invested in tho
production of rs cents worth Of food. because there is
plenty of money, and there is not plenty Of food. On the
subject Of canning his argument is that home canning is
and fuel, is far beyond its actual value. for every can of
much to the food stock Of the country and the world at a
time when the supply Of food is Of supreme importance.
Within certain limits DR.. wiey's argument may be
sound, but only within limits. If. a man, after performing
the ordinary duties pertaining to his regular occupation.
spends some hours a day In working in his garden, and
the time thus used would not otherwise be devoted to
any productive work, that investment Of time is profit
able for the country. regardless of questions Of exercise
and health, even though the product of the garden would
not pay common laborers wages for the time employed.
The net result is that there is more food without there be-
ing less Of anything else. This applies equally to canning,
and to a number of other things.
But If the time used in these ways is taken from other
productive work, and the product is not commensurate
a waste at a time when all waste is to be avoided. In the
matter Of canning, also, the fuel question is to be con-
sidered. The need for fuel is as great as is the need for
food, and il canning is not conducted with regard to fuel
economy the work had better be LETT undone. This is a
time for conserving everything, and we cannot afford to
waste one essential in order to produce another.

BUILDING FOR DODGE

A new service building similar to
the brigade Y. M. c. A. buildings
in the camp is to be erected by the
Jewish Welfare Board for the use
of Jewish men and their friends
in the camp.
Plans for the building have been
received by Max H. Cohen, secre-

men of that faith.
The new building will be fully
equipped auditorium, rest and read
