Madison-Wisconsin has registered
1854 men between the ages of Is
and 45 years since the selective con-
scription act went into effect in july
1917. This, according to Adjt-Gen
Orlando Holway shows that the man
power of the state, including the mem
bers of the National Guard and those
already in the army or navy, who
were not required to register, makes
the man power of the state over 6O0,-
900 or practically one out of every
four citizens of the state, + record
which will compare very favorably
with any state in the Union.

One of the most gratifying things in
connection with the American army,
navy and marines abroad is the well
come extended to them by the peoples
OF all the allied nations. The cable
dispatches show that American troops
have been received with honor and ac-
claim, but it is the private letters from
individual officers and men of the va
rious branches of the service which
really show the kind of a reception
that has been given the American
troops, no matter In what country they
have arrived.
In Great Britain, Belgium, France
and Italy, the people have done their
utmost to welcome the American sol
diers and show the appreciation they
have that America has joined in the
great war; And where the troops min
gle with the allies on the front they
find such a comradeship as will make
for better feeling in all the years to
come. 1t is particularly true of the
manner in which the American officers
and sailors have been treated by the
British officers and sailors of the va
rious fleets. Ii never seemed possible
that allied fleets could be controlled
with such harmony as has existed since
the Americans became part of the
grand feet in the North Sea, in addi-
ton to having submarine chasers all
around the British Isles and the French
coast This harmony in regard to the
higher officials has permeated the
ranks and American bluejackets and
marines have found the British sail
ors men of the right sort. The letters
oe officers and men are filed with
praise for the manner in which Ameri-
cans have been treated in all parts Of
the world.

added another bureaucratic link in
the endless chain of DEGREES, enact
ments and provisions, without attain
ing even the slightest advantage. On
the contrary conditions have only be-
come worse Evidence: the vely
f1imsy menu which is served up to us
daily.
1.-The Greater Berlin Victualling IN
ion yesterday decided to allow the
people 49 ounces Of foodstuffs and 80
ounces of jam rs a substitute for the
smaller ration of bread. This Goes
not mean much, as in the first place
tl.is consolation prize is only intend
ed for the time up to the 18TH of
August, and secondly in the extra
quantities are included the bakers
goods substitutes which were expect

livered already.
TT would be of far more value il
the supplies of fruit and vegetables
were made more accessible to the
public. Fruit is practically impos-
sible to obtain this year. Neither
cherries bilberries and currants nor
gooseberries. It is as ii the fruit
trees had declared a general strike
and everywhere had borne no fruit.
On the other hand Polish fruit has
arrived in such quantities as If the
whole attention Of the Polish agricul-
turists had been paid to fruit grow
ing. The Old Testament tells US that
when the prophet Elijah, in the days
Of King Ahab, came to the widow
Sarepta tired and hungry, he asked
her to give him something to eat.
When she shrugged her shoulders and
called his attention to her own want,
he promised her that her cruise OF Oh
and her sack Of -four would never
give out. Apparently it is the same
with the distressed fruit dealers.
There is no end of the Polish" fruit.
But only the better situated public
are able to buy it. It is the same
in all things. Always the same oid
story. Only the themes change. The
housewife waits in vain for the
Magic Table ('Tischleindeck
dich.") When, however, the miracle
knocks at the door ''for servants anu
tradespeople," then she has to pay
the illicit traders so much that sne

Already it is beginning to dawn on
the housewife that even after gen

derangement of the economic condl-

be altered, will not improve much.
What, therefore, remains for her TO
