mo American May Refuse -
Cardinal Gibbons Saws

James Cardinal Gibbons, the
leading Catholic churchman In
America, has issued a strong ap-
peal in support Of the United War
Work Campaign.
1T Is an American campaign" he
said. Its appeal is one that no
American may refuse. Americas
answer will be another triumphant
announcement that we are In this
war as one people and as one ma
ton to see 1t through to victory.
Into the splendid work Of sustain
ing the morale Of our fighting men
the great social organizations of
America have thrown themselves.

The man who would fight 80 bravely
'.if the Germans came over here" and
will not help otherwise. doesn't expect
to be called upon to fight them at all.
He just simply expects that our boys
lover there" will do his fighting for
him. die for him possibly, and that
when this war is over his lack of manly
patriotism will soon be forgotten. But
any such man is making tremendous
mistake. He will never live long enough
to escape the odium that will properly
attach itself to his name.
The most tremendous need of the
American people at this time, as it has
been ever since the war started, is that
they wake up. Wake up to the fact
that this war means sacrifice for every
one-real sacrifice. Wake up to the
fact that liberty is at stake. Wake up
to the fact that the sanctity of home is
at stake. Wake up to the fact that it
is better and cheaper to pay to win the
war than it will be to pay Germany for
losing it. Great God! we sometimes
wish that we had power to print over
the portals of every home in letters of
flaming fire the words WAKE UP"
Read Jimmy Gerson's story in this
weeks Messenger and brace up your
courage, if it needs bracing. The cause
of the Allies in this war is not hopeless.
But it will be if we get the dumps and
commence signing instead of facing the
enemy with all the courage and all the
resources at our command. What
might have been the history of our coun-
try had Washington and Lincoln lacked
courage in the dark days of their car
GERS? If we haven't faith in our own
cause. can we expect the enemy to
have faith in it?

WHEATLESS DAYS END
Nations Fighting Central Powers WIZ
All Eat Bread Made From 30
Per Cent Flour and 20 Per
Cent Substitutes.

Washington, Aug. %. - Regulations
announced by Food Administrator
Hoover provide universal war bread
for all the nations arrayed against the
Central powers, under which wheat
flour restrictions in the United States
are relaxed, and the Allies given bread
containing more wheat than they have
had since the early days of the war.
The regulations are effective Sent.
/, and wheatless days and wheatless
meals will be discontinued on that
date.
Under an international bread policy
formulated by the inter-allied food
council in London, all bread made
after Sept. l for France, England,
Italy, the United States and the other
Allies, will be made of mixed -four
containing 80 per cent wheat -four and
20 per cent substitute cereals.
Conflicting Orders Rescinded.
All present baking regulations in
conflict with the new plan are re-
scinded, including the half and half
regulations controlling flour sales to
householders, and that permitting
bakers to use only 20 per cent of their
normal supply Of wheat -four
All rationing of bread among the Al
lied nations will be discontinued and
plenty of the new Victory bread" is
assured the civil populations at time
when the wheat situation in Germany
and Austria is anything but promis-
ing.
Ready mixed -four in the proportions
allowed by the food administration, in
accordance with it's milling standards,
will be available for purchase by
householders, although this is not
compulsory. They are urged, how
ever, to buy the ready-mixed Victory
-four, but where pure wheat flour is
purchased the regulations require re-
tailers to sell 20 per cent of substi-
tutes at the same time to each pur-
chaser.
Rely on HousehoIders.
The food administration relies ON
householders voluntarily to mix their
bread in the same 1920 proportion re-
CURED of bakers.
All so-called Victory fours" may
be sold without substitutes, the regula-
lions provide, but at no greater price
from the miller, wholesalers or re-
taller than in the case of standard
wheat flour.
Whole wheat, or graham, flour may
be used without substitute, but it must
contain at least 95 per cent of the
wheat berry.

TEUTONS LOSING HOPE
Hopeless Despair Prevails on the
German Battle Front.
British Capture Many Letters Show
in Soldiers Realize Defeat Is
Inevitable.

With the British Army in France,
Aug. 2S.-Hopeless despair is begin
ming to prevail on the German side of
the line, letters taken from prisoners
and dead soldiers indicate. One letter
written home by German stationed
in a town which has now been cap
tured said:
"The war has been lost for some
time, only those high up are failing to
admit it,
The letter added: ooh, poor Ger
many-only the dead at the front have
forgotten this swindle."
Another letter said: "This cannot
last much longer"
Still another German wrote:
Our losses from the battle exceed
all the drafts. Germany is sure to
lose very SOON"
1t is a fact that many letters taken
from prisoners, whether written by
them to be posted home or received by
them from civilians in the interior of
Germany, are in the same vein. One
German in Berlin chided his brother
at the front about making rapid
progress to the rear. He then pre-
dicted that the war was surely COM
ing to an end and that with the Allies
then making an economic war Ger
many would be ruined.
Many of these letters were written
before the British begun their drive.

MANPOWER BILL
PASSES SENATE
Measure Is Approved by Unani-
nous Vote in the
Upper House.
MAKES few CHANGES
Attempts to Alter Age Limits or
Direct Separate Classification of
Youths Under 81 Years
Prove UnavaiIing.

Washington, Aug. 28-The Senate
passed the manpower bill bringing
within the army draft all men from
18 to As years old with modified
work or fight clause.
There were rs affirmative votes.
The Senate was recorded unani.
mously for the bill. Senator Gore of
Oklahoma, who cast the only negative
vote on the roll call, withdrew it and
was excused from voting.
All efforts to change the age limits
or to direct separate classification of
youths under 81 failed, and the meas
ure now goes to conference between
the House and Senate with no differ
ence for serious controversy except
the work or fight provision.
The final vote in the Senate was
recorded amid unchecked applause
from the galleries filled with specta-
tors who attended the session to wit
ness final congressional action on the
measure that will add approximately
100000 men to the potention mill
tary strength of the nation.
To Wilson Before Weekend.
In conference the differences in the
drafts of the bill as passed by the
Senate and as enacted Saturday by
the House by a vote of 1856 to 2 are
expected to be compromised speedily
and the bill in it's final form trans
mitted to President Wilson for his sig
nature late this week.
Preparations being made by Provost
Marshal General Crowder to carry out
the provisions of the measure are ex-
pected to insure the registrations of all
men within the ages of Is and FL and
81 and As within a week or ten days
after the President attaches his sigma
ture.
The Senate adopted practically all of
the principal provisions of the bill, adj
vocated by the Administration, includ-
ing that giving the President authority
to establish orders of call for service
of the men effected. President Wilson
is expected to follow the plans of the
War department, which according to
testimony before the Senate and House
military committees by General
March, chief of staff, and General
Crowder, provide for the calling of
youths of Is years after the other
classes have been summoned and the
educating of such boys while in train.

Paris, Aug. 2S. : Frenzied counter
attacks by the foe have failed to hold
back the British and French armies
who are hard after the Germans on
the 75-mile battle front from the north
of Arras to the region of Scissors
All along the front the German line
has given way before the pressure of
the British and French troops at points
where the falling back of the enemy
or the capture of towns and roads
running eastward adds greatly to his
already serious predicament from the
standpoint of strategy.
Numerous towns, villages and ham,

British and French in the continual
ton of the fighting and scarcely any

Germans been able to do more than

In the region around Arras the Brit

This advance should bring General
