gary, speaking at the reform con-
sress at Budapest, is quoted by the
Berlin Vossische Zeitung correspond

SUGGESTIONS GIVEN OUT
Directions as to Cleaning Furnace

Rid Of SCOT.

The following suggestions to house
holders to prevent waste of coal and
money are contained in report from
the anthracite committee at Philadel-
phia to the fuel administration:
Clean out the chimney and chin
ney pipe to the furnace. Cover fur
naces and all cellar heating pipes with
asbestos, as that means Is per cent
heat saving. Chimneys should be in
spected and all SCOT removed to
avoid fires. Chimneys should be kept
constantly in repair.
Hold off as long as possible from
starting the furnace, unless sickness
makes it necessary.
Before starting, the furnace should
be overhauled, scraping off all SCOT
and rust. One-hundredth of an inch
of SCOT has the same resisting power
as ten inches of IRON"

SAYS ALLIES NEED PEACE
MORE THAN THE HUNS DO
German Minister to Mexico Asserts
Kaiser's Course Is in Keeping
With Germany's Power.

MEXICO CITY, October z (by the
Associated Press).-Germany's purpose
in making her latest peace o1ter to the
entente allies was solely for the rea-
son that Emperor William, in full ac-
cord with the German people, desired
a peace worthy of the empires eco
nomic, political and military power,
according to Heinrich Won Eckhardt,
the German minister to Mexico. who
set forth this view today in an inter-
view published in the leading pro-
German newspaper of Mexico, Ell
Democratic.
Won Eckhardt declared there existed
more motives and more urgent neces-
stiles among the entente nations for
desiring peace than among the CEN
trail powers. He did not explain why
Bulgaria had signed an armistice nor
why peace offers came first from Aus
tria and Germany. The minister de
clared that the internal situation, in
GLIDING food, did not force Germany
to make her peace offer.

Interior Policy and Aims.

In it's interior policy the provisional
government announces these aims:
Creation of a simple and powerful
Russian army beyond the influence of
political parties and subordinate,
through its military chief, to the Rus
sian provisional government.
establishment in the liberated
parts of Russia of democratic munich
palities and zemstvos. Measures actu-
ally guaranteeing general security
and public order.
Development of productive forces
of the country, with the aid of private
capital, as well Russian as foreign,
and of personal initiative.
Legal regulation Of commerce and
industry.
Development of labor legislation,
protection of labor and regulation of
the conditions of employment and
discharge of workmen.
Relative to questions of supplies
the government stands for abolition
of state monopoly of wheat and aboli-
ton of fixed prices, continuing at the
same time to regulate distribution of
products existing in insufficient guam
titles, and will organize state ware
houses, with the aid Of private COM
merce and cO-ODeratiye societies

Battle Map Enlightening.

A glance at the German battle map
is enlightening in this respect.
Stretched along the front from the
sea to Switzerland, as represented by
this map, are little numbers designat-
ing the divisions placed at sections
the respective enemy units occupy in
the waving battle lines. Except at
Flanders. the numbers are COMPARE
lively thin and placed far apart. But
in the ST. Quentin and Cambria dis
tricts the numbers are so thickly
placed as to make it difficult to get
them all in.
Opposite the French and Americans
on the Champagne front similar sit
uation exists. The Germans dare not
take single man away from these
places. and, as a matter of fact, they
are putting in every man they can lay
hands on.

What Suspension Means.

A few days suspension of hostilities
would permit munitions of all sorts,
including shells. of which there is now
a great scarcity behind the German
lines, to reach the. front.
Right now, army officers declare,
the allies are in a position to continue
sma shing the enemy. and an armistice
might enable the enemy to escape for
a time the defeat which now StareS
him in the face.
AS for Belgium, the German military
leaders themselves apparently real
lied some time ago that they could
not hope to hold on there, for German
general headquarters was moved from
Spa to we'll inside Germany's borders.
The Germans have not troops enough
to hold 1t. i~'''''.

Allies in Strong Position.

The allied armies are in strong
and advantageous position and the
general feeling here is that the de-
feat of Germany may come sooner
than expected elsewhere than at the
front.
BY retiring unhindered the Germans
could materially shorten their lines
and save men thereby. Thus they
could thicken their ranks and prob
ably he able to hold out until all the
new 1920 class of about 500, 900 young
men could be incorporated in the units
in the battle zone.
In addition, a vigorous "combing
out" is in progress in Germany, which
will undoubtedly yield reinforce
ments. Also, machine guns could be
shipped into the field to replace some
of the immense number the allies
have captured

4 By the Associated Press.
| WITH THE BRITISH ARMY IN
FRANCE, October THE soldiers of

one.
This was the opinion expressed by
| officers and men alike to the Associ-
ated Press correspondent today. If
Germany is now willing to admit her
utter defeat, then, say these men who
have been fighting the good fight for
the liberty of the world, so much the
better, but, they declare, the granting
of an armistice at this time, unless the
enemy is absolutely sincere, might
prove extremely dangerous.
''Victory First, Then Peace"
"victory first, then peace" This is
the manner In which French civilians.
who have returned to their she'll
wrecked homes m northern France,
! expressed them SeiveS when the sub
ject of an arnistice was discussed.
| The same idea runs through the
minds of all the allied armies, where
men have seen their comrades die and
where the feeling is that they have
died in vain unless victory is abso-
| lutte.
| The suspension of hostilities, even
for a few days, would enable the Ger
mans to continue their preparation of
lines to which they might retire for
the winter. At the moment the Hin
denburg system has been smashed
and the German military leaders have
every reason to believe that they may
soon be fighting back over country in
which at present they have no lines, no
dugouts, no protection from the adj
vancing allied troops.

German Line Exists No More.

In the st. Quentin-Cambrai sector the
Hindenburg line exists no more. 1t is
no secret that the British will con-
tinue their powerful thrusts along
where the enemy's strong line of de-
Tense has been broken. The Germans
know this. but what they do not know
is when and how and with what forces
the attack will be launched. And indi-
cations are plentiful that the British
are in a position to launch it when
they see fit.
An armistice would save the situa-
ton for Germany.
On the British front it is believed
that the German armies so far have
not the slightest knowledge of events,
and it is with considerable interest
that the British armies are watching
for the effect among the Germans
when they find out what has been
done.

WANTS TO RESUME
WAR ON GERMANY
Policy and Aims of New Rus
sian Provisional Government
Are Announced.

Immediate aims of the new Russian
provisional government formed at
the pan-Russian convention at Ufa
last month include liberation of Rus
STA from the power of the bolshevik
soviets, humiliation of the Brest-
Litovsk treaty. restoration of treaties
with the allied nations and continue
ton of the war against the German
coalition.
These aims, along with those af-
fecting the internal affairs of Russia,
are outlined in the text Of the act
constituting the supreme power of
Russia, which has been received by
the Russian embassy from the pro-
visional government. The act was
approved by the convention, which
was composed of representatives Of
all governments and parties in Rus
STA except the boisheviki and the
forces which first opposed the con-
stituent assembly, which was over
thrown. by the bosheviki.
The new government is expected
speedily to bring some measure of
order out of the chaos in Russia, and
the allied governments are under
stood to hope that it eventually will
become one with which they may
deal.

Huns Continue Destruction.

In the meantime the Germans con-
tinue their destruction on a wide
spread scale. The damage they have
done to the coal mines in northern
France, in the Lens district, is of a
most serious nature. From informa-
ton at hand it would appear that the
Germans have done their work SO
thoroughly that it may be impossible
to get the mines in operation for a
long time.
More towns are burning. Even the
farmhouses of the peasants in the
area northeast of Lille have been set
ablaze, and the enemy seems deter
mind to devastate completely the
country and destroy everything his
hand can reach. Again long clouds OF
smoke and sparks are being blown
across the horizon.

MEAT PRODUCERS
DID full DUTY
Increase in American Hogs Will
Help to Meet World Fat
Shortage.
FARMERS SAVE SITUATION.
Government Justified In Stimulation
Of Pork Production-Sevenfoid
increase Over Pre-
War Exports.

Through increased production and
conservation we will be able this year
to export seven times our pre-war
average exports of pork products.
With the heavy demands added in a r
ing for the millions who have been
freed from German oppression, the
Department Of Agriculture and the
Food Administration are justified to-
day in our every action of stimulation
Of hog production. In the coming year
the greatest world shortage will be in
fats, and pork will help to save this
situation. The efficacy Of the policy
Of stimulated production has built up
in this country supplies which will en-
able us to supply a very large part OF
the fat deficiency Of the world. In
beef there must be q shortage in Eu-
rope, due largely to limited refrigera-
tor ship capacity. All freezer ships
available, however, will be filed by
America, Argentine and Australia.
The contribution made by the pro-
ducers of this country to the war pro-
gram as applying particularly to AMI
NAL food products is illustrated by the
following:
Reports complied by the U. S. De-
partment of Agriculture indicate an
increase in cattle Of 1O,238,O0O head
and 12,441,OO0 hogs. These figures
were compiled to January 1 last.
In this period there was a decrease
in sheep Of $4,000 head. The indica-
lions are that this decrease will show
an increase, according to recent re-
ports.
Since January 1 unofficial informa-
ton indicates an increase In hogs Of
not less than 8 per cent. and not
more than Is per cent. as compared
with N year ago, with an increase in
the average weight. u .
Following the request Of the U. s.
Food Administration for an increase
in hog production for marketing in the
fall Of 1913 and the spring Of 1919 the
increase may yield not less than 1,6OO.-
100000 pounds more of pork producta
than were available last year. With
out this increase the shipping program
arranged by Mr.. Hoover regarding an
imal food products would have been
impossible.
The dressed hog products during the
three months ending September 30,
1917, amounted to sos, 900 pounds,
while for the corresponding months Of
1918 the dressed hog products totaled
1,277, s 1900, an increase of over S74,-
100000 pounds for the quarter.
During the same period for 1917 the
records Of inspected slaughter Of
dressed beef showed 1928, 600
pounds Is against 1,454,o0O,0O0 pounds
for the three month period ending
September !, this year.

With Military Demands Upon Ocean

to Return to Normal White
Wheat Bread.

Since the advent Of the latest wheat
crop the only limitation upon Ameri-
a exports to Europe has been the
shortage Of shipping. Between July l
and October 10 we shipped 65, $50, 3O5
bushels. If this rate should continue
until the end Of the fiscal year we will
have furnished the Allies with more
than 237, 500, 1000 bushels of wheat and
our in terms of wheat.
The result of increased production
and conservation efforts in the United
States has been that with the cessa-
ton Of hOstilities we are able to re-
turn to a normal wheat diet. Supplies
that have accumulated in Australia.
Argentine and other hitherto inacces-
sible markets may be tapped by ships
released from transport service, and
European demand for American wheat
probably will not exceed our normal
surplus. There is wheat enough avail
able to have a white loaf at the COM
mon table.
But last year the tale was different.
Only by the greatest possible saving
and sacrifice were we able to keep a
steady stream of wheat and flour NOV
Ing across the sea. We found our
selves at the beginning of the harvest
year with an unusually short crop.
Even the most optimistic statisticians
figured that We had a bare surplus of
2O,OOO,OOO bushels. And yet Europe
vas facing the probability of a bread
famine-and In Europe bread is by far
the most important article in the diet.
All Of this surplus had left the
country early in the fall. BY the first
Of the year we had managed to ship a
little more than 10000, 900 bushels BY
practicing the utmost economy at
home-by wheatless days, wheatless
meals, heavy substitution Of other
cereals and by sacrifice at almost
every meal throughout the country.
In January the late Lord Rhondda,
then British Food Controller, cabled
that only il we sent an additional 75,-
100000 bushels before July l could he
take the responsibility Of assuring his
people that they would be fed.
The response of the American peo-
pie was 85,OOOyOOO bushels safely deliv-
cred overseas between January l and
July L. Out Of a harvest which rave
US only 2O,O0O,OOO bushels surplus We
actually shipped 141, O00, 900 bushels.
Thus did America fulfill her pledge
that the Allied bread rations could be
maintained, and already the American
people r demonstrating that, with
an awakened war conscience, last
years figures will be bettered.

Upon this spirit Of service and sac

have carried out an export program,
the magnitude Of which is almost be-
yond comprehension. But with the
new demands that have come, with
the liberation Of nations freed from

be almost doubled. Instead Of 11,a2O,-

quests by the Food Administration,
which asked farmers and threshermen
to reduce harvest losses from about
81 per eent.-the estimated average
in noznaal timesLto the lowest posi-
BILE minimum. Country grain thresh-

grain growing community the oficial
recommendations for accomplishing
the results desired.
