AUSTRIA-HUNGARY
LOSES ENTHUSIASM

NEW YORK, May 24.-On the third
anniversary of Italy's entrance into
the war. Teutonic preparations Tor the
offensive in the Venetian plains are
not being pushed in a manner to sug-
gest that Austria-Hungary desires to
risk sacrifices of its manpower.
Austria Hungary can hope for no
permanent territorial gains as the re-
suit of any new military operations
against Italy. No responsible state
man at Vienna or Budapest has sug-
gested that Austria-Hungary will be
able to keep the lillian lands already
occupied, no matter how the war ends.
Even if Teutonic armies were to
capture Venice and advance to Milan,
the occupation of the great Italian
centers in the north would give Aus
tria-Hungary no advantage as long
as Italy continued in the war. That
Italians will not Withdraw from the
conflict is certain
This is the principal reason v

Austria-Hungary shows increasing re-
luctance to undertake a new offensive
against the Italians. If there were any
real expections that Italy could be
driven out of the war by farther ar
vances of the Central powers into
Italian territory, there is no doubt but
that a military attempt to overawe the
Italian people would be made.

Spreads Hun Propaganda.

The Yellow Dog is a real menace to
the country" says Mr.. Dodge. idle
conversation causes unwarranted dis
trust of officials who are doing their
utmost to win the war 1t spreads
gloom when every ounce of encour-
agement is needed to protect our
moral armament. This tendency to-
ward unrestrained and unjust criti-
cism is so widespread that a wide
spread movement is necessary to off
set it, and the limitless energy of the
American boy will be brought to bear
to stamp out this poignant, dangerous
chatter and if possible trace the near
seditious stories to the man lower
down'-to the cunning brain of the
Hun propagandist.
The two-legged Yellow Dog roams
around with his eyes closed his
mouth open, and his brain fast asleep.
With his eyes closed he doesn't see
that he is yellow, and with his brain
fast asleep he doesn't know that he
is an enemy to the United States.
From his open mouth comes lies and
slanderous gossip against the govern
ment that will sap the vitality of the
nations patriotism if not stopped at
once.
The harm done by the American
man who comes under the classical
ton of a Yellow Dog is psychologist
in its operation and the boy detec-
tives of the anti-yellow dog clubs will
fight the evil with psychologist ammu-
milton. They will challenge the yell
low Dog with the question How do
you know? and they will hand to
every man they hear unjustly knock
ing the government a printed slip of
paper that should awaken him to a
realization of the harm he is doing"

BOTH BREAD AND
MEAT is BEAN
High Powered Food Made From
Vegetable Used For Years
In The Far East.

What would YOU think of a slice of
bread that has the same food value as
a beefsteak sandwich
II isn't a dream nor an eXaggera-
ton 1t is a fact supported by special
lists of the United States Department
Of Agriculture 1t is based on chem
ical analyses of and experiments with
SOY bean -four, a new product that
is expected to pinch hit" for wheat,
and not only TO do that, but TO work
in meats place as we'll The high
powered bread that has the scientific
resemblance to a beeksteak sandwich
does not even use all of the voltage
of the soy-bean flour. This bread had
been made from a mixture of so per
cent soy-bean -four and 20 per cent
wheat -four 1t is extremely high in
the protein element and is really a
substitute for protein foods such as
meat and cheese.
Some people call soy-bean -four a
new food, but il is far from that,
for the soy bean was used in China
and Japan in the dim dawn of history
and has been used in those lands ever
since Only recently, however, has
this bean become of importance in the
worlds commerce and only within the
past few years has its food value been
recognized in the United States
The soy-bean can be used merely as
bean. Ii can be pressed, and the
oil is valuable. The pressing also pro-
duces a cake valuable as a food for
human beings and as a food for ami
mis- When the press cake is ground
the soy-bean -four is produced.
To make sOy-bean flour available
in large quantities the Department OF
Agriculture is encouraging southern
cottonseed millers to use their plants
in manufacturing it after the cotton
seed pressing season. II is believed
that there will be enough -four to
supply any demand In the mean
time the department is issuing infor-
national material that tells the food
value of soy-bean flour and how to
use it. Some of the ways in which it
can be used are in hot or quick
breads, biscuits, mullins, griddle
cakes, yeast bread, mush croquettes,
meat loaves and omelets.

MEMORIAL SCYTHES.

There are three scythes hanging IN
the crotch of an old tree on a farm
near Auburn. y. Y. one of them is
eaten by rust and SO overgrown by the
live wood that only a tiny bit Of the
blade protrudes One is rusty, but
still whole. with the development just
started. One is new.
The old scythe was hung there 81
years ago by James Johnson. when he
marched of to the Civil War, telling
his wife not to touch it until he came
back. He never came back. The farm
finally passed into other hands, but
the memorial remained. Then last
wear. when the United States entered
the war. Raymond Schaefter placed
his scythe beside the rusted relic. and
marched of to an army camp. Last
week his brother Lynn added his
scythe and went TO join the navy.
Those three sCythes are touching
monument. and a fitting one. We Won
der. as we read of it. how many other
scvthes there are huns up in tree
crotches on American farms, and how
many in Europe, and in Asia and Afri-
ca and Australia and the islands of the
sea. and how many of them will stay
there unclaimed.

ANOTHER WAY OF
CARRYING A RIFLE

Il cannot carry n rifle but l can do
without wheat" said a hoary-headed
veteran of the Civil War recently.
All the fighting spirit of the days of
SO was reflected in his determined
look. His heart was still young
enough to yearn to be over there with
the boys of 1918. He wanted to do
his part in settling once and for all
the Huns insult TO civilization.
But though his heart was young. his
rheumatic joints reminded him sadly
that he could not hope to take any
active part in today's war. He knew,
however, that there was a part he
could still play, he could contribute
his share of the needed wheat to those
who are actually carrying the rifles
There are many men too old to car
ry rifles. There are some young men
whose physical ills prevent them from
going across. Then there are women
and children who cannot be at the
front But all these can and should
pledge themselves to eat no wheat
during the critical shortage of the next
three months.
1t is only personal sacrifice and per-
sonal saving that will give us any
wheat to send until next harvest
There are other foods in plenty for
Americans to eat as wheat substitutes
To eat these and release every
pound of what possible is one way of
carrying a rifle in this war against
barharous autocraCy.

PTNISHING NEMSpApERs-

Mount Vernon, y. y undertook 10
prevent by ordinance the sale Of
Hearst newspapers IN that city. on the
ground that they are disloyal. Vari-
Gus other communities around the
country have taken similar action with
regard 10 those or other papers aIIeg-
ed 10 be pro-German in character.
Such action is pronounced illegal by
New York Court II is probably as
illegal everywhere as it is in New
York state. The reasons, as set forth
by the New York World, are as fol-
lows.
THE Mayor and Aldermen Of Mount
Vernon have assumed a power they do
not possess and should not possess. II
they could bar certain newspapers for
reasons Of disloyalty, they could bar
others for reasons less worthy. The
village president or crossroads CON
stable might claim the same power,
and the freedom of the press would
end"
The reasoning seems sound And
there is no lack Of proper remedies
for the cure of unpatriotic journalism
or any other kind of journalism that
ofends against public spirit, taste or
morals. Cases of provable treason or
sedition can be handled by the govern
ment Papers that are clever enough
to steer clear of overt acts, while
maintaining a spirit offensive to good
citizens, can be dealt with by the pub
lie.
Indeed. il is the public that has the
first and last word in determining the
fate of all newspapers, under all cir
cumstances. If the people of any com
munity don't like paper, all they
have to do is to stop buying it, No
newspaper evil can survive that prac-
teal remedy.

LEARNING TO SWIM.

The recent publication of two books
by Annette Kellerman. one called
How to Swim" and the other "Physi-
cal Beauty; How To Keep It." which
also deals with swimming as an aid
to acquiring normal development and
grace reminds the reader that swim
ming season is ut hand.
Any child who lives near any body
of water in which it is at all possible
to learn to swim should be given the
opportunity. II hardly need be said
that swimming is one of the most val
liable accomplishments which could be
added to a good education. Not only
are many accidents averted by ability
to swim. but fear of healthful water
sports is thus avoided.
Miss Kelerman. according to her
book. had weak and deformed legs to
start life with. and n physician insist
ed upon swimming as last resort TO
straiehteu and strengthen them The
cure was promptly effected and fear
of thcVvater gave place to love of it.
To be without the power of swim
ming is to be handicapped all ones
life. Summer is the time for learning.
Whether it's regarded as an aid in
saving life. as a beauty producer or
merely as one way of getting fun out
of pbvsical exercise. it's worth the

Americas War Smile.

When American met with her first
losses in the war, we were stricken
with horror at the tale of our losses
The sinking of a British transport
with the loss of 200 brave American
lads. filled us with dismay. 1t was
our first great loss and served to bring
home to US some of the horrors TO
which now we are becoming accustOm-
ed. and which we will become still
more accustomed.
1t is natural and right that we
should mourn the loss of our brave de-
tenders, but let us not become enyel-
oped in gloom. Let us not look too
long nor too darkly upon the picture
of wars horrors. Let us not contract
a spirit of despair.
1t is hard to smile amid scenes of
desolation and death, but it is better
TO smile than to bemoan, even though
we hide a heartache behind the
smile.
a smiling, cheerful patriot, ever
ready to do his all, is a much more
helpful patriot than the one who goes
about disseminating gloom.
Americas smile will have much TO
do in winning the war. For the sake
of our boys in France, even though
our own loved ones are among them,
we should cultivate it.
