The Flour of the Army.

Wars are no longer all bullets anC
blades; they are also bread and beef Ii
has been the business of an army to leaC
in fighting, and the business of civilian.
to lead in supplying food. In this war
especially, it is the proud part of the
men and women at home to lead in food
conservation. We know as never before
| that the soldier cannot fight unless he
is well fed; that people cannot support
all the abnormal conditions of war un-
less they are well fed.
Bread is the foundation on which we
all rest. The most insistent drive of the
food administration has been. "Saye the
Wheat We must send l00,000.000 bush
els of wheat overseas before the first of
June, 1t cannot come out of our surplus,
because there is not any. 1t must come
out of our saving.
Who is helping to save it Are you?
You used to consume 2l5 pounds of flour
a year in prewar days. The food admin
istration wants you to consume only $50
pounds a year now, so that this impera
lively needed wheat may get to the war
workers and fighters in Europe.
One hundred and fifty pounds of -four
per person year, But you must look to
your laurels. Our brave army is leading
you on your own field. The soldier boy
in the 32 camps and environments of our
country is getting 1861 pounds of -four
per day This is at the rate of 13l
pounds per person a year. He is 10
pounds ahead of you, Stay at Homes!
Salute the soldier who is leading you,
but make up your mind that in this
which is particularly your job he shall
not continue to stay 10 pounds of flour
ahead

these uplifts the sea was permanently
expelled from the interior of the CONT
nent and Pixies Peek was born.
The geologic history OF the Pixies Peak
region since Cretaceous time has been
mainly history Of continued uplift and
erosion-of a long contest between forces
that increase the height of the noun
tains and forces that wear them down.
The higher the mountains were raised
the more fiercely were they attacked by
rain and stream, by frost and ice. These
were some of the agents that carved the
crags and scooped out the gorges which
are among the most attractive scenic fea-
lures of this region.
As geologic agencies have played a
dominant part in shaping the scenery
of this famous playground, a simple and
authoritative account of the geology of
the region should be of special interest.
Such an account has recently been pub
lished by the United States geological
survey, department of the interior, as
the Colorado Springs folio tfolip 203 of
the geologic atlas of the United States 4,
by George !. Finlay, This folio contains
Topographic and geologic maps of the re-
gion; descriptions of its rock formations,
mineral deposits, and water resources; a
record of its geologic history in relation
TO that of the surrounding region; and
reproductions of photographs of some of
the scenic features, In addition to maps
of the Colorado Springs quadrangle, on a
scale of half an inch to the mile, the folio
contains a large scale map tl.3 inches to
the mile of the Manitou quadrangle,
which includes Pixies Peak, the Garden
of the Gods, and the city of Colorado
SPRING. Some of the semi precious min
erals which are offered for sale to tour
lists and for which the Pixies Peak region
has long been famous among mineral
are briefly described in this TO-
Ito, which concludes with a description Of
the coal deposits of the quadrangle, the
rement and building stone materials, the
water resources and the soils

French Lose Three "Aces."
MUST MAKE SOME MISTAKES.
Minority Leader Mann Says the Country
Needs Determination and Patience.

Washington, May 9.-Minority Lead
err Mann, speaking in the House yester
day after an absence of several months
on account of illness, declared the magni
tude of war preparations was so vast
that it was impossible to proceed with
out some mistakes.
I'VE are appropriating unbelievable
sums and mistakes will occur" he said
''We have made mistakes, both person
ally and legislatively, but in war there
is no partisanship. What we all need
what the administration needs, what the
country needs, is determination and pa
thence.
at is not unlikely that the war will
be won by something entirely new, but
whatever develops we must all keep our
minds set on the firm determination
never to quit without complete victory"
Mr.. Mann's physicians have advised
him to go home for the summer.

How to Get Out of a Blind Alley Job.

In an article written by Steinmetz
the great engineer, for the May Ameri
can Magazine, Steinmetz says;
These blind alley jobs are an inevita'
bic part of every big industrial machine
There must be someone to do the me-
chanical bits, calling for no skill, and
consequently for no high rate of pay;
but that someone does not necessarily
have to be you. There is no law that
says that once man gets into a blind
alley job he is doomed for life. The
same principle that makes one who has
fallen accidentally into a river fight his
way to the top to get the blessed air
and to preserve his life should be work
ing within a man as soon as he sees he
has fallen into one of these jobs. Be
cause, if you examine the psychological
reaction of a man who falls into a river,
YOU will see that the same principle can
be applied. The man who suddenly finds
himself under water, even though he be
good swimmer. becomes exceedingly
dissatisfied with his position at the mo-
ment. Discomfort of the nth degree -
working within him, and he does every
thing to fight his way to the top, seiz-
ing rope, piece of wood, a boat, any
thing in fact, to relieve him from his
predicament In other words, his dis
content is so powerful that it forces
him to use every means to better his
position at the moment, and so he hus-
ties TO scramble out of the water in
hurry.
Now if the man who has fallen into
a blind alley job could be made to util-
ize that same energy to lift himself out
of his job, he would soon find himself in
a better one. The main trouble is that
these men are too satisfied with their
jobs, or, if they are dissatisfied, they
are not disconnected enough"

This is labors war. No element oil

man peace.
What the Germans mean by a
''strong peace" German peace was
recently expressed by General Won Lie
bert. leading Prussian conservative.
For us there is but one principle to
be followed and we recognize no other.
We hold that might is right We must
know neither sentiment, humanity, con-
sideration, nor compassion. We must
have Belgium and the north of France.
France must be made to pay until she is
bled white. We must have a strong
peace"
Mr. Gompers spoke well for American
labor when he said:
1.-THE republic of the United States is
not perfect; it has the imperfections
OF the human--but it is the best eoun-
try on the face of the earth, and those
who do not love it enough to work for
it, to fight for it, to die for it, are not
worthy of the privilege of living in it.
Il say to the kaiser, | say to the Ger
mans. in the name of the American la
Dor movement: You can't talk peace
with the American workers; you can't
talk peace to us; you can't talk to us
at all now. We are fighting now. Ell
Their you smash your kaiser autocracy
or we will smash it for you"
The workingmen of America have a
tremendous interest to serve, vital
cause to defend, work of surprising i'm
portance to accomplish. What is vital to
them is vital to America and to the
world. That they see their duty and the
great mass of them are performing it
with unimpeachable loyalty is cause
for congratulation to the nation and to
the world

AMERICAN SHOUTED
"LUSTT4NI4" ON ATTACK
Advanced in Waves Against the Germans
After Terrific Bomhardment Between
ST Quentin and lie Catelet.

British Headquarters in France. Sun
day, Sept. % (Reuter's) Striking at
the strong point Of the Hindenburg line
between SC. Quentin and lie Catelet,
British and American troops launched q
terrific attack at o'clock this morning.
For eight hours before the infantry ad.
yanced against the German lines, the
British artillery had maintained terri
&c fire against the enemy positions. For
the last two hours Of this bombardment
gas shells by the thousands were hurled
against the Germans, causing compar-
atiye silence TO fall over the enemy lines.
Last night a successful preliminary
infantry attack developed between Mar
Going and Masnieres against the main
Hindenburg line. Under a creeping cur.
tain Of flames the main assault was
launched this morning. A large force Of
American troops, shouting "Lusitanis,
advanced in the first waves with splendid
dash.
A large number Of tanks went out
with the first wave, being directed
against front Of 5000 yards south of
Vendhulile, where the ST. Quentin canal
passes through tunnel

under steady machine gun fire they
pushed forward into the village Of Bel
