Of Granite State
Defeat FOrdham Eleven 6 to z

In n sensational football game the
u. s. 8 Granite State eleve defeat
ed Fordham University 3. A. t. c.,
6 to 0. at Fordham Field yesterday.
The salts" who were wearing the
uniforms OF Uncle Sam undoubtedly
could ave run up a higher count had
they tried.
Credit must be given the losers in
defeat, however. for they we're out
weighted fully fifteen pounds to the
man. They almost made up in speed
fighting spirit what they ackcd
in avoirdupois. The Granite Staters
have enjoyed but four days Of real
practice. and surely will have to be
figured with when they get n little
more team work under their belts.
The game practically was an even
affair as far as ground gaining went,
and Fordham really lost a touchdown
in their third quarter because one Of
their men was off-side. Captain
Frisch. of the c~ollegians. had made q
forward pass to Garvey. the right
end, and he look the pigskin over the
line. The off-side play was detected,
however. and Tho ball brought ont

Jack Filler TO Compete

John J. Eller. who several ear ego
was one of the best hurdlers in the
world, notified the local office of the

SPIRIT OF THE WAR MOTHERS

War Mothers OF America" in a
message to President Wilson. General
Pershing and the American Expedi-
tionary Forces in France, demand
the unconditional surrender Of Ger
many before peace is declared. Their
action shows the spirit that is car
rying the soldiers of the United States
to victory.
The resolution reads: Millions of
War Mothers of America, represented
in national convention in Evansville,
stand Loyalty behind you in your de-
sire to make no peace until Germany
and her allies surrender uncondition-
ally"
Such an exhibition of unfiinching
patriotism and courageous devotion
to the cause of honor, though it may
involve the loss Of those whom they
hold as dear as their own lives, can
not but have its effect. With such
mothers and such wives behind them
giving them courage and faith, our
soldiers can not fail to uphold liber-
ty, justice and honor against the ag-
gressions of the Prussian war lord
and his satellites.

Food Hint for Today

Miss Louise Stanley of the home
economics department of the Univer-
sity advises that now is the time TO
prepare silage for ourselves as well
as for cows
Cabbage has been abundant in Mis-
souri, this year. Don't let a single
head decay in the garden but make it
into popular form Of silage-sauerkraut.
Remove carefully the outer leaves
Of the head and any decayed parts.
Quarter the heads and remove the
hard center core, then shred the cab
bage with one of the hand shredders
or cut in thin slices with a knife. Pack
Immediately into a water-tight recep-
tacle-a stone jar or crock for small
amounts, or a cider or wine keg for
larger amounts-distributin salt in
the proportion of one pound to each
forty pounds of cabbage. Be sure that
the salt is distributed evenly through
the cabbage.
When the container is nearly full.
press down tight, cover with a clean
cloth and board slightly smaller than
the container, on which may be placed
a weight sufficiently heavy to bring the
brine up to the wooden cover. This
should be set aside until fermentation
is complete, then skin off the skum
which has formed for if this is al
lowed to remain it will lower the quail
ity of the kraut and may eventually
cause it to spoil entirely. The kraut
should then be carefully covered and
stored in a cool place

WHERE HOLLAND STANDS

Il is regrettable that an understand
ing has not been reached between
Holland and the United States in re-
gard to expectations Of fOodstuff:
from this country in return for Dutch
shipping.
There are 100000 tons OF shipping
lying idle in the Netherlands ports
because the government OF that coun-
try bowed to the threats Of Germany
that neutral ships, even though they
sailed TO a neutral country, would be
lOrpedoed
Satisfactory agreements have been
reached with Spain, Switzerland and
the Scandinavian countries whereby,
in return for tonnage, food is supplied
to those countries. But though the
people of Hollond are suffering for
food, the embargo that prevents her
ships from sailing out and taking back
foOdstuffs to relieve this condition is
not lifted.
The State Department of the United
States has issued a statement that
puts the issue fairly before the Meth
erlands. The statement says that it
has always been the policy of the
Government TO supply as much food
as possible to neutrals after the needs
Of the Allies for the successful pros
ecution OF the war were supplied
The Government had hoped TO make
arrangements with Holland through
the War Trade Board whereby exports
to that country might be permitted.
But because OF Germany's threats,
Holland refused to accept the terms
Of the United States as Spain and the
other countries had done.
Unless Holland follows the example
Of these countries and enters into
satisfactory agreements with our gov
eminent, appeals for American food
stuffs must be in vain. The United
States has shown Holland a way to
help herself. It is up to her to offer
her tonnage to US in return for our
aid in supplying food
