POLLUTED FRANCE

The Huns are at their old, familiar
work. In their forced retreat from
the Marne they have repeated the
orgies Of devastation and pollution
with which they celebrated their re-
treat from the Somme last year
Nothing, not even personal treach
cry and cruelty inflicted by the Huns
In unfair fight, seems to make sucf
an impression on the American
troops as the evidence Of vandalism
they find everywhere on their ad
vance.
A recent dispatch tells of charac.
teristic conditions found in Chateau.
Thferry:
These houses were magnificentIy
furnished, the walls hung with cost.
ly tapestries and admirable pictures
Today there is nothing that has moi
been destroyed. The tapestries nave
been hacked to pieces, the pictures

There Is not n mirror which has

The costly carpets have been
soiled and rent in every possible way

The Americans In France now
know more clearly than ever what
they are fighting for. They have
long heard of such wickedness and
beastiality. but now they have seen
1t with their own eyes. They realize
that they are literally fighting to
redeem polluted France from the
clutches of barbarism. and fighting
no less to save their own country
and all the civilized world from the
same fate.

MINISTRY BESEGED
'BY FREAK INVENTIONS

London. July i5.-(Correspon-
dence OF the Associated Press)--if
the dreams Of numerous British ann
ateur inventors who have been be-
sieging the ministry OF munitions
could be realized. the war would
have been over long since and little
would be left OF the German army.
Recent proposals include the follow
ing:
Freeze the clouds and mount ar
tillery thereon.
Train cormorants to fly to Essen
to pick the mortar from krupps
walls so that they will crumble.
Trail from balloons monster mag
nets that would snatch rifles from
the hands OF the German soldiers.
Perch men on shells to steer them.
A suggestion often submitted Is to
attach searchlight TO an anti-air-
craft gun, project the light on a
Gotha and shoot along the beam.
Unfortunately. shells will not follow
the path OF light.
Other schemes for dealing with
hostile aircraft are TO suspend heavy
guns from captive balloons; to arm
defense airplanes with scythes; TO
provide heat rays for setting Zeppe-
lines on fire. and to cover the moon
with big black balloon. To pre-
ven, polished rails shining at night
and acting as a guide to enemy air
craft, the last coach OF the last train
is to drop blacklng on them.
a shell containing gravel Is 70 lay
:. pathway over mud. and another.
containing in irrltant powder or a
sticky substance, Is to hamper ma
chine guns.
The relay shell is a favorite pro-
DOSdl, the pihH ueihH lui q o"eh ~
the heights of its flight to expel a.
smaller inner she'll As shell does
not point directly along its trajectory
1t would be impossible to secure ac-
curacy of aim for the second shell.
Among the more miscellaneous
projects are:
To petrlfy German soldiers by
squirting cement over them.
To throw snakes by pneumatic
propulsion into the enemy trenches.
To penetrate and attack Germany
itself via a tube" built "all the
way" from England.
1t Is said that about one sugges-
tion in ten that reach the ministry
Of munitions Is novel and possible.
The air ministry announces that
its air inventions committee, formed
about nine months ago, has exam
ined more than 5000 inventions and
suggestions.

GIRLS NEED 1T, TOO

The plans for universal militar,
training for boys after the war are
finding more and more favor as time
goes on and We see the results or the
camp training in our young men
Not the building up OF a militarist
caste is the idea. nor any plan for
future wars of aggression, But the
benefits OF a ''citizenry framed 81
which are manifest in the improved
health. strength. morals and general
bearing OF our boys who have been
put under the strict but kindly disci-
pline OF our army camps are greatly
desired for all our youths.
And why should not all our youth
have them? Why should not our
civilian lads be given the opportun-
ity to get the springy step, the glow
Of health and color, the dignity
which comes from self-eontro,', which
distinguishes our soldiers and sail

Also, II We are going to give these
advantages to our boys. why don't
we give them to our girls also?
These splendid, strong, orderly, dis
ciplined young. chaps are not going
to want chickens" for wives. They
want helmates. They want girls. and
not weaklings. selfish, pampered
mollycoddles. They want glowing
competent partners, fit mothers Of
the glorious children OF our coun.
try's future.
Girls need camp life under disci.
pline even more than boys. And SER
vice for year in some hospital, asy.
lun. public nursery, maternity ward
or such field is urged upon ever,

The boys and girls who go int
such service are not losing year
as some critics urge, any more thai
they lose year who spend it in (
college. They are learning the mos
valuable lessons the country cal
teach.
BY all means universal service
And by all means make it truly uni
yersal by including the girls.

HOOVER ASKED TO CUT
RESTAURANTS PRICES
Many Complaints Made That Re.
duction in Quantity May
Aid PrOhteering

Complaints have been received by the
Federal food administration in the last few
days against the twelve general orders"
which Food Administrator Hoover viii put
into effect next week "A war measure IN
connection with restaurants and public din
ing rooms.
The objections come chiefly from labor rep
resentatives and labor unions. who charge
that Mr.. Hoover has NOT taken steps which
will curb and restrict prices for foodstuffs
under his new regulations
The assertion is made that under such
Curtal ment in the past prices have been
raised in corresponding measure--as the hole
i'm the do+lghnut is larger the prices are
larger. Mr.. HooNer's twelve general orders
leave the prices largely to the conscience ot
the restaurant 'pruprietors
The specific points on which object ions
are made are these:
Prices for food that may be charged by
caterers and restaurateurs ar" left unre-
strcted by Mr. Hoover but the quantity OF
the food and the manner Of It's service are
definitely curtailed and restricted.
Garnitures are eliminated from many
dishes without provision for a correspond
ing reduction in the prices.
The amount of butter and cheese that can
he served To one person is limited to one
half ounce of each. although the charge in
virtually all eating places remains unchanged
for these edibles
Sugar is limited To "A single teaspoontul to
the meal although Mr. Hoover said ON his
return recently from France and England
that he did not expect to Increase the liini-
tations sugar and that virtually all re-
srctions would be removed on January l..

This committee Of twenty-five women,
under the leadership of Miss Catherine Ire
land, 3s03 walnut street, has worked with
out intermissiou, leaving no stone uuturned
and coming back again and again where it
may have failed once
1t is the belief of the Rev Robert john
ston. the rector, that the church has ne
greater duty than 10 work with all it's yea
for the good of the country. and he himself
fired the hearts Of his congregation at the
beginning of the loan drive with a fcrNcnt
letter of appea to each member.
Small subscriptions have been encouraged.
The workers have gone out day after day, and
an extensive house-to-huuse canvass has
been made Miss Ireland said the response
of people to the appeals of the workers was
generouA often when househoders had an
swered by subscription through The church

with more generous subscriptions
In spite of the fact that hardly day has
passed since the outbreak Of the epidemic
that some member of the committee has nor
had to give up, the work has gone on with
