WAR SUBSTITUTES
WITHOUT NOURISHMENT

Amsterdam, Jan. 2S-The almost
complete lack of nourishment In many
of the food Substitutes" now being
sold in Germany is arousing a storm
of warning from German scientists,
who declare that government super
vision of the whole substitute food
traffic is an immediate necessity. Prof.
fessor Juckenack of the University of
Berlin, writing in the Vassische Ziet-
ung, says:
1T is useless any longer to hide the
truth. Unless the Government ac-
lively intervenes to put some control
over the flood Of substitute foods with
which We are overwhelmed, the end
Of the war will also see the end of
third of Germany's population. More
over, the remaining two-thirds will be
SO enfeebled from malnutrition that
they will be unable to perform the i'm
mense tasks of recuperation and res
toration.
"The devil alone knows what are
the ingredients of thousands of these
wretched substitutes that already do
duty for butter and eggs, oil and milk,
flour and spirits, meat and broth, cof-
fee, tobacco and tea, fish and sausage,
cheese and caviar, and so on without
end.
"The latest products of the ingeni-
GUS substitute-mongers are really too
terrible to be tolerated. A prepara-
ton of crude kerosene Is now being
largely sold as frying oil, and 800 cas-
es of serious illness together with
nine deaths have been traced to its
use in Berlin alone A preparation
called goose dipping" is prepared
from dogs fat; egg substitute from a
mixture of chalk and baking powder;
caviar from fish scales, and bread
from straw. What people, no matter
how patriotic, can hold out on such
fare?"

TROOPS
(By Associated Press. }

Washington, Jan. Secretary
Baker today replied to Chamber
lain's charges of inefficiency of the
War Department at the public hear
ing before the Senate military com
mittee. He began by making a ver-
ba! statement without manuscript.
He said the statement was not ex-
actly supplementary to the recent
one, but a comprehensive statement
on all army activities in the war. He
asked not to be interrupted.
Baker said: There are now thir-
ty-two divisions of troops ready to
90 to France. / don't know how
fast it may be necessary to send
them, but I know how fast we have
sent them, and how fast we plan to
send them"
Secretary Baker says he thinks
much criticism is due to the impa
tence of the American people ito do
this great thing quickly" He con.
ceded there, have been delays and
shortcomings, but the department has
made every effort to correct them. AL
though more than million men are
under arms in this country, the Sec
retary says the number Of complaints
is relatively small, probably not more
than eighteen. The complaint con-
cerning neglect yof a patient at Camp
Wheeler, he said, developed that it
was unjustified, resulting from the
distressed imagination of widow"
he said every soldier who needs a
rlfle has one, and of a better type
tnan if the British Enfield had been
adopted In defending the lack Of
Lewis guns, Secretary Baker reiter-
ated that Pershing doesn't want the
Lewis guns for the ground forces, but
only for the aviation branch.

ELECTRIC POWER TO

tions, not more than sixteen for the

Gne of the most ambitious that has
|yet been worked out to enable the
country to recover from the eco
nCmic losses of the war. Its details
are given in report from the Coal
Conservation Committee of the Min
istry of reconstruction.
The amount of coal used to produce
industrial power in the United
Kingdom is about S0,000.000 tons
yearly. The new project, 1t is
claimed, would enable the same
amount of power to be produced
with an expenditure Of only 25.000,-
loco tons, and the 55,0OO,0O0 tons
saved would represent not only econ
omy in mining but also gigantic
lecGnomy in transport The COM
n,ittee, however, does not believe
, that the change will mean the min
ing of less coal but rather that Great
Britain will enormously increase its
amount of industrial horse power,
and the extent to which this can be
raised, it is explained, is one Of the
Fmain conditions necessary for a gen.
eral rise in national standards OF
life.
The committees proposals rest on
THE assumption that electricity is the
most economical and convenient
form in which to apply power to in
Idustry and that the only way to gen.
crate electricity cheaply is to gen.
