SOLDIERS TO GET OVERSEAS MAIL
 MORE PROMPTLY

Washington, July 11.---Replying to a Senate resolution, Secretary Bar advised the Senate today that every effort is being made to give better mail service between this country and. American troops in France and al-s ready an improvement had been shown. Because of the large number of men sent across and the movement of units from one point to anotherss Secretary Baker said, almost unsur- mountable difficulties had been en- countered in prompt handling of mail
 ''In solving this problem he added, "expert post office department em- ployes have been constantly engaged, and the cooperation and sympathy between them and the officers of the army has been complete and con stant
 Tt is hoped by both departments that arrangements now being insti- ued will go far toward removing all complaint"
 Secretary Baker said Gen. Persh- ing had been asked for complete re. port regarding the mail service which would be transmitted to the Senate.

AVIATORS SHOW
 SELF-SACRIFICE

Paris. July 11.---(Correspondence of The Associated Press. )---The gallant ry and self-sacrifice of aviators is H. frustrated in the story of a captain observer and his protector-pilot who have just escaped death after a per iious flight in Lorraine.
 r The captain was assigned to obser- walton duty only, with a pilot as pro teetor in a swift Spad accompanying him to guard against enemy attack. The attack materialized quickly enough, but so suddenly that the pilot could not warn the intent captain, and so quietly that the captain did not notice the three German machines sweeping down from far above.
 The pilot saw at once that there was but one way to save the uncon- sctous and absorbed captain---by drawing the attack upon himself-=- and this he did. His Spad machine was soon shot through with bullets despite his utmost efforts, and in no time he was twirling earthward. The captain had been attracted by the machine gun fire and was making rapidly for the French lines in his slower machine.
 The German attacking machines, seeing the Spad apparently hopelessly disabled went after the observer s airplane. They never succeeded in catching up with it. The captain was mourning the loss of his friend, the pilot, when a telephone message informed him that the latter had land ed safely within the French lines. i Despite his almost certain sacrifice he had been able, when within a short distance from the ground, to straight
 en himself out, and fly just over the tree tops, unhindered by furious en-
 emy fire, to a point just within the French lines. His airplane after landing was viciously shelled by the | Germans

SEE VON HTNTZEN
 AS PAN-GERMAN

Washington. July 11.---Accordtng to an official dispatch from Switzerland today retirement of Von Kuehlnann as German foreign minister and the appointment of Won Hintzen to suc- ceed him is looked upon as g. victory for the Pan-Germans It also is re- called that a few days ago he Social Democras announced in the Socialist paper Vorwaerts that if Von Kuehi- ma was forced to go, Chancellor Won Hertling also would be obliged to re- tire.
 The Swiss view however, is that the situation will not be altered in any way, for the military party is in real ity governing and part of it's policy is to make a few concessions in form and in regard to the staff to the Lib eral party.

AGENT FARES
 BELIEVED NEAR ON
 BOSTON ELEVATED

Boston, July 1.-The seven cent fare is near on the Boston elevated. Today the new peoples board of trustees announced that this Is the only action that can possibly "save the roads life"
 It had been expected that the in- crease, if one were made, would not be more than one cent, making the toll six cents The demand for seven cents is causing a violent protest. Nevertheless the new rate is expected to be put into effect before many days.
 The statement of the trustees said in part:
 "An increase of one cent would give the system an additional revenue of $3,650,00O. This is just half million dollars less than the absolutely mini- mum expenditure" Extensive figures were given to show the amounts the road has been losing during the oper- ation of recent months.
 The trustees said that in 57 out of 67 cities of 100000 or more population car riders were paying higher rates or were expecting increases in the near future

SUGAR SHORTAGE APPRECIATED BY
 ADMINISTRATION

In view of the food administra- tion's interest in the use of milk and its knowledge that Connecticut has had a surplus of milk which must be used, the new sugar regulations cut ting the former allowance of sugar for ice cream, indicate the food ad- ministration's appreciation of the su- gar shortage.
 Demands made on our shipping by war requirements and civilian needs have made such inroads upon the ma tion's sugar supply that the scarcity is being felt everywhere. Every American is asked to prepare for a situation demanding sacrifices.
 Some months ago when certain sugar restrictions were issued, the food administrator decided, because of the abundant milk supply, to per init ice cream manufacturers and milk condensers to use their normal amount of sugar. However, the sit uation has now become so acute that makers of ice cream will have their sugad supply limited to 75 per cent. of normal, and those manufacturers who make a product containing less butterfat than specified by their state standards may get no sugar. This last contingency does not apply in Connecticut, which has no ice cream standard.
 Milk condensers may be allowed to continue the use of sugar up to their normal consumption, but the food administration is asking factories having the requisite machinery to make evaporated milk = without sugar-instead of the sweetened con- densed milk.
 An improvement in shipping con- ditions would, of course, relieve the sugar situation, but distribution from be based on the sugar in sight and not on probable supplies. Facing the facts, the Food Administration has restricted the allowance of sugar in less essential food products in or der to maintain a monthly ration ot three pounds to consumers and pro vide sugar for both commercial and home canning.
 In the plan of distribution which CTS of candy soft drinks, tobacco wine and such less essential products were cut to 50 per cent. of riorfal re- quirements. Gamers of fruits and vegetables will continue to get 10C per cent. No sugar can be sold tc manufactu to retail merchants o1 to proprietors of eating places except on certificate from the Food Admin istrator indicating the quantity that may be bought.
 The householder is on honor to ra- ton his family to three pounds g month per person and is urged to CO., operate with the Government in a fair distribution of sugar supplies. If the sugar is available, home canners can obtain more than the IS pound allow ance for canning on approval of local administrators.
 With the hearty cooperation of the 1 public, the food administration ex- poets to avoid any serious scarcity ol sugar for home consumption. The situation calls for a cheerful accept ance of facts and an alI-around re- ciprocity on sugar-reciprocity be- tween nations, between consumers and manufacturers, and between the Am erican public and the food admins tration. Common sense and reciprocity all around will bring the country to the end of the year without an embar- rassing shortage.

ter Czechs recaptured the position. Three German prisoners were forced to cut down the bodies and were then left dangling from the same rope ends.
 Here are the official words of Gen eral Brusiloff on this action: "The Czecho-Slovaks, perfidiously abandon ed at Tarnopol by our infantry, fought so that the whole world ought to fall on its knees before them:"
 Yet it was but an oasis of heroisna in the vast wilderness of cowardice and flight. The Czecho-Slovaks were carried back with the Russians. Ker- ensky had promised the independence of Bohemia if Russia could achieve 1t. As it turned out. Russia ewas helpless to maintain her own. The eyes of the Czecho-Slovaks turned to America as the first stopping place on the road to the western front where they could still fight their old-time foes.
 There are 50,0O0 of these veteran soldiers in Siberia waiting to come to the United States, where the Bohe- milan National Alliance will care for them and send them on to France 10, 1000 in Vladicostok, 10000 in IT, kutsk and the rest in other centers. There are 50,000 more still in old Rus sia who expect to make the same exodus a little later. .,..t
 Few people realize how even now the Czecho-Slovak fighting men are scattered down the battle line. There are 10000 in the French trenches, 22,- 900 in Italy, and several thousand more at Saloniki. In places as un- likely as Australia, Algiers, and Mo- rocco they are forming fresh battal- ions, and 6o,OOo are said to be in the armies of the United States.
 Over 100000 of them there are, all told-fighters with a genius for in- dependence and a single purpose. Out side they are leaning against the mil | itary wall that surrounds Austria, hewing well into it at points of weak ness, while from within their compa- triots are pulling down the supports and bastions, stone by stone.
 In the inevitable wreckage the throne of the Hapsburgs will be mere gilded kindling.

ASK SOLDIERS TO
 HELP FIND GIRL

New York, July 11-Viola A. David son, pretty miss of Is years, told her mother Saturday she was going to the front door of their home at 92 Gates avenue, Brooklyn. The mother Mrs. Edward E. Davidson, wife of an oil prospect2r and broker, told the police yesterday her daughter had not returned. She asked aid in find ing the girl.
 The Missing Persons Bureau sent out a general alarm, and a request was made to the army officers in this city to see if they could find trace of her. The latter request was due to the fact that Miss Davidson. who is an accomplished musician, a dancer of graceful ability and a singer, had often gone to the camps in Texas. where they lived before coming to Brooklyn, for the summer, to entertain soldiers. Mrs. Davidson said her daughter visited Texas can- comments three times, but had always returned safely at night.
 Mrs. Davidson also said her daugh- ter cherished an ambition to hecone a moving picture actress and that she had often urged that she be permit ted to go to work. When Viola did not come home Saturday night a. search was started, with private de- tectives in charge.
 The girl was described as being E feet 2 inches tall and weighing I9s pounds. She wore an old rose sweat CT, a while crepe dress, a white straw hat, black stockings and bJ.c1, button shoes.

KEEP CHILDREN COOL AS POSSIBLE
 DURING SUMMER

Through the long hot summer days 1t is great task to keep children hap py, well and out of mischief especi- ally when the mother already has her hands more than full with the work of her house.
 In the first place, children must be kept as cool as possible. In hot weather this is not an easy task, but it may be accomplished in some meas ure by clothing them suitably. Babies need only the diaper and one other garment, band or slip. Older chill dren need only enough to cover their bodies. As far as possible, children should sleep out of doors at night, if screened porches are available, or, if not, with all the windows and doors wide open. A full tub bath in cool or tepid water will do much to make sleep comfortable, and a little plain talcum powder will help to all lay the irritation of prickly heat.
 Children must be provided too with occupations suited to their age. A play pen on a cool porch. or even un- der the trees in the yard where the mother can watch the baby, will give much pleasure. Sand piles, swings and many other simple pieces of play apparatus which are easily made at home without any great expense will keep older children happy and out Of mischief. Rainy days may be spent on the porch. Hints for mothers as to the selection of play and occupa- ton for young children will shortly be published by the Children's Bureau. Very much of the annoyance ot mothers and the fussiness of chil- dren would be done away with if the little hands and minds had plenty of occupation. Many a cross child IS cross because he has nothing to do which interests him, and many a piece of mischief is only the result of the child's trying to find something with which to busy himself.
 Children's food must be chosen with special care in summer to suit the ages, and proper food habits should be established. The nursing baby will cause the least anxiety Ii a baby is nursed at regular times preferably three or four hours apart, and is clean and as cool as possible, he will not usually suffer harm even in very hot weather. Babies newly weaned from the
 breast and up to the end of the sec ond year will need special care. Prop erly modified cows milk will form the principal part of the diet of all sucf | children, and must be as clean and a: | fresh as possible. Detailed direc' |. tions for the feeding of children vii be sent free from the Children
 Bureau of the U. S. Department o1 | Labor to all who care to send fol l the bulletins on the care of chil' | dren.
 Older children should be taught tc | observe regular habits, also, anc
 mothers must guard against the dan
 gers of over or underfeeding, and es- pecia1ly against poor food materials such as overripe fruit Young chil'
 dren need to be taught to chew theil | food thoroughly and to eat slowly
 Cleanliness of the body is necessary | for health and comfort at all times | but is demanded in the summer time
 These fundamental rules for healtf ] should be in effect in every family | and where carried out faithfully sick
 ness should be largely done ava!

CALAMITOUSS STATE
 IN GERMAN EMPIRE

Amsterdam, July 11.-"Reports of a calamitous state of things reach us from all fruit growing regions of the German Empire" says the Dusseldorf Nachrichten.
 The paper states that there is a wild ruah on the part of dealers and private persons for the orchards and fruit gardens. Everywhere the fruit crops are being bought up regardless of prices and food regulations.
 The authorities seems powerless to cope with a rush of this magnitude. Fruit growers with impunity charge fiyefold the maximum offices and get them. Cherries, strawberreis and oth- CT fruit are unobtainable except at extortionate prices.

 With the revolution, however, they promptly organized their own army under their own leaders. Yet 1t was not until the great Russian offensive of 1916 had been prepared that they were placed on the line in east Cali cia. On July 2, when the attack was ordered, a Szecho- -Slovak brigade swept forward and took the village of Presovce the first town captured in Korniloff's drive, together with B. 150 men, 62 officers, 15 cannon, and many machine guns. Day after day, as the Teutons reeled backward, the Czecho-Slo were in the thick of it, here a cavalry regiment, there a battery, and always the invincible in- fantry. War Minister Kerensky publicly complimented them on their Valor.
 Then came the great retreat when the Russian morale, undermined by 'Bolshevism, gave way utterly. After the fall of Tarnopol three regiments of Czecho -Slovak volunteers, left to their fate by the Russians to the right and left of them, fought until the last, the men plunging into direct shell breaks and the officers finally blow ing out their own brains. Only three Czech soldiers were captured, These were 11mmastly hanged. A little la-
