CROWDS CHEER

As the carriage emerged from the station yard the bells of St. Martins rang out and the crowds again broke into tumultuous cheering. Throngs had taken possession of Trafalgar square long beforeI the royal carriages containing the field marshal and his generals came into view. When they came abreast the historic square, a mighty cheer, such as had rarely, If ever, been heard there, rose. All the generals clearly evinced delight at the cordiality of the reception. As the car- riages passed along Cockspur street. Pan Mall and St. James street, the enthusiasm was unbounded
 At Marlborough House there was a
 brief halt during which Sir Douglas saluted Dowager Queen Alexandra, who ,, was standing outside her residence. Picadilly and it's approaches were densely packed with people. and the field marshal again was cheered to the
 echo as he drove along the famous ithoroughfares. Likewise, at Hyde Park, down Constitution Hill and onward to Buckingham palace there were stir ring scenes. Many soldiers and sailors on leave participated in the demonstra- fiop

HUMAN POWER GREAT

the women and children also consti-

Germany with that of the United
States it must be borne in mind that

Of America. 1t is said that in peace
times the women constitute AZ per
cent of the agricultural and indus
trial labor of Germany. They wor6
in the fields, in the factories, in the
mines, at the very hardest and mos,
iaborous tasks, doing the work only
done by men in this country. With
great proportion of the German

that women now constitute by far
the larger half of German manual

NEEDS THRIFT TO SAVE
LIVES OF OUR HEROES

The German women are fighting
desperately with the sword of thrift, "
says a food administration bulletin
Shall we refuse to take this sword
tud fight With it also? Extravaganza
costs blood. the blood of heroes.
Thrift saves lives, the lives of heroes.
Extravaganza does not always
mean the spending Of money need
lGssly It means also eating food
necdlessly, especially wheat, sugar,
fats and meat, which are the foods
Uncle Sam needs for his soldiers.
1T is doubtful whether the ordin-
ary civilian realizes what quantities
Of these foods are needed to support
Just our own soldiers, to say nothing
nf feeding the allied armies and these
millions of people behind the lines,
left destitute and absolutely depend
ant on Uncle Sam to feed them.
"a soldier needs more food than
tie ordinary civilian because his life
is more strenuous. Moreover, his
whole diet must be made practically
from wheat, meats, fats, sugar, con-
Gensed milk and coffee, for except
ing few varieties of canned vege-
tables, these are the only foods that
it is possible to ship to him from a
distance. Furthermore, Uncle Sam
must lay up vast reserve stores Of
these foods to meet emergencies -
such as food lost during battle
fcodstuffs sunk by submarines, food
spoiled in transportation or bad crops
next year.
Just how we'll fed the American
soldiers are and just how well Uncle
Sam is able to meet one and all Of
these possible emergencies depends
on how thirftlly American men and
women save wheat, meat, sugar and
fats"
