WOMEN ASK FOR

American Women Volunteer to
Buy Fixed Amounts of Meat,
Bread Flour, Sugar

PLAN STARTED IN NEW YORK.
Idea Supplements U. S. Food AdmInls-
tration's New Home Gard Now
in 1o,ooo,oo Homes.

The women Of America, who are
anxious to do their great part in the
winning of the war, are now, as
whole, familiar with the most impor-
tant aspects Of food conservation. The
Home Gard, both in its original form
and in the revised edition for 1918,
which provides for two wheatless days,
one meatless day a week, in addition
to wheatless meal every day, has been
placed by the Food Administration aft
er a vigorous campaign In 100000
American homes. An intelligent and
conscientious observance Of the Home
Cards requirements is all the Food
Administration asks Of the housewives
Of the country.
The Food Administration has had a
great many requests, however, particu-
larly from the homes Of the well-to-do,
that it should issue worked out plan
for voluntary system of rationing.
This desire for a voluntary ration
springs from two causes-first, be-
cause It is far simpler for the house.
wife to save food when she has con-
crete working plan by which to pro-
coed, and, second, because the loyal
women Of America desire, unselfishIy,
to put themselves on the same basis
as the women Of the Allied countries.
The ration proposed by the Food Ad-
ministration is almost the same as
that adopted in England for voluntary
observance. All over the United King
dom, in hundreds of houses there
hangs in the front window card with
the stirring pledge, AIN HONOR
BOUND WE ADOPT THE NATION
AL SCALE OF VOLUNTARY RAJ
TIONS."
The ration recommended by the
Food Administration, and adopted first
in New York city, whence the idea has
spread through the entire country, is
the following:
Weekly
Allowance
Per Person.
Meat-Beef (fresh, sailed, tin
neQ ana naSned) mutton,
lamb and veal (mutton by
preference) ............... PA lbs
Butter NEUTRALITY-SUSPICIOUS.. y ID.
Cooking Fats margarine, lard,
lard substitutes, vegetable
oils) NEUTRALITY-SUSPICIOUS.. u Id.
Wheat Flour (for use in cook
ing gravies, ETC., where
corn starch, cracker dust
or bread crumbs cannot be
subStituted) ............ "a lb.
Victory Bread Containing at
least 20 per cent. of sub
stitute for wheat flour) go. TX lbs
Sugar Qncluding all sugar
used on the table and in
cooking and all sweatmeats
and candies, but not that
used for canning and pre-
SerVlng) ................. " 10.
The items listed above are the only
ones which are definitely limited. In
the case of milk and cream, as much
may be used as necessary, and chill
dren, Of course, must have their full
allowance of whole milk. Fish and
poultry, any cereal other than wheat,
vegetables and fruits and cheese may
be used as freely as is desired.
The above ration is in no wise in
tended to supplant the Home Card,
but rather to supplement it. 1t has
been published with the idea that it
will be very real aid to the Ameri-
can woman In her splendid effort to
carry out the great food conservation
program.

DOWN ALL
LUXURY INDUSTRIES
Output of Musical Instruments
to Be Reduced 80 Per Cent
in Next Two Months.

Washington, d. c., April S.-Sharp
curtailment Of luxury industries has
begun.
With a 80 per cent reduction in man
ufacture Of musical instruments for
two months announced today, the gov
eminent has formally exposed its policy
toward socalled nonessential industry.
For the present all curtaillnent is be.
ing accomplished through agreement.
The reason for h new policy is that
there must be drastic economy in the
consumption Of fuel, in transportation
and in raw materials.
In so far as is possible the manufac-
turers are being permitted to determine
for themselves the best method of cur
failing their i~ndustry-iust so that it
is curtailed.
Reports indicate hat many nonessen .
tial industries nave increased enor-
mously under war prosperity and in
many cases, it is said, the 80 per cent
cut in output will scarcely restore the
plants production to prewar normal.
Every effort is being mad to force
substitution Of war work for manufac-
ture OF unnecessary goods. Curtailment
of piano making will release, it is stat
ed. labor and equipment for airplane
work.
Enforcement. if necessary. of c~urtail-
ment orders will be obtained partly.

COUGH FAILURE
ALL BUT FATAL
British General Relieved For
Letting Germans Get Through
Great Disaster Was
Barely Averted.

New York. April S.-InformatioE
reaching here shows how narrowly the
Anglo-French escaped complete disas-
ter in the first phase of the present great
battle through the failure of General
Coughs army. A e age Cough was
regarded as Il coming man in the Brit
ish army. Now he has been retired.
He has been replaced by General Raw
linson.
Coughs failure w weeks is only
dimly grasped as yet but it would seem
that the old weakness of the British
army in staff work has been glaringly
disclosed once more. 1t would seem
that after the original British lines
around st. quentin had been forced
and Coughs fifth army compelled to re-
treat. that the retreating divisions did
not preserve a solid front to the enemy
but permitted gaps to open north Of
the Somme between themselves and the
third British army and south of Somme
between themselves and the French.
Through one of these gaps the
penetrated almost to Albert. Through
the other they got to Montdidier and
temporarily separated the French n
British armies,
Worst Defeat in Four Years.
Not only was the defeat of Coughs
army more complete than that of n
army on the west front since the open
ing French defeats in August 1914, but
for a time, its collapse opened a gap in
the allied front recalling that which a
misunderstanding of orders created in
the union army at Chickamauga. a bat
tie almost fatal to northern prospects
in the civil war.
Rawlinson who succeeds Cough has
had a varied career. AS a commander
OF the "Imnlortal' Seventh division in
the Ypres campaign he gained !mper-
ishable laurels. Later at Loos, bad staff
work under his command was responsi-
| BILE for something approxilnating a dis
aster. and he was saved from removal
only by the intervention of Sir Douglas
Haig. The next year at the Somme,
RawlinsoE renered distinguished ser
vice ard was rightly praised by Haig
hut since that time Rawlinson's star
| has been on the wane again. He re-
turrs now to the command of a defeat
