ALLIES MAY CEASE PUSH
NORTHWARD FOR PRESENT
Experts Differ-Some Contend Huns Can
Hold Aisne Line; Others Say They Must
Retire to Chemin- -des- Danes.

Will the Germans be able to estab-
lish a holding Iine on the heights
alorg the north bank of the Aisne,
or will the Franco-American drive to
the northeastward of scissors force
the enemy to fall back to their strong
positions along the Chemin-des
Danes, the great highway bordering
the south bank of she Ailette River?
This question sums up the potential
possibilities of the battle situation as
reflected in late dispatches received
here by military experts. Allied mill
tary students are not agreed on what
may reasonably be expected from the
hard-hitting divisions which in the
past week have sent across the Ger
man empire the first great wave Of
dread and fear.
One group holds that no military
mind can reasonably hope that the at
tackiit / divisions can sweep the enemy
from the heights north of the Aisne
for some time to come.
Ihe second group, pointing to the
success of the Franco-American en-
glneers in outwitting and outgaming
the Germans in carrying forward the
work of maintaining clear lines of
communication, believe that the Ger
man line on the Aisne will be fianked
from the west and that the close of
the week will see the Germans bat
ulng desperately to hold the line on
the Ailette River.

and finally drive him beyond the Rhine
and to ultimate surrender. The inn
preston became deep-seated among
those who have studied the war that
the brave Englishmen and Frenchmen,
weary of four years warfare, needed
just what the American troops could
give them for the necessary dash and
hustle to beat back the Germans and
to start movement which means ulti-
mate success for world civilization.
Consequently all official Washington,
and particularly those who have given
close attention to everything pertaining
to the war, were very much gratified
and really felt that American troops
had performed that which was expect
ed of them.

Food Waste From Rats.

In all parts of the country there Is
q serious economic drain in the de-
struction by rats and mice of mer-
chandise held for sale by dealers. Not
only foodstuffs and forage, but tex
tiles, clothing and leather goods are
often ruined. This loss is due mainly
to the faulty buildings in which the
stores are kept. Often 1t would be
measure of economy to tear down the
old structures and replace them by
new ones. However, even the old
buildings may often be repaired so as
to make them practically rat-proof;
and foodstuffs, as -four, seeds, and
meats, may always be protected In
wire cages at slight expense. The
public should be protected from in
sanitary stores by system Of rigid
inspection.
Similar care should be exercised in
the home to protect household sup
plies from mice and rats. Little prog
ress in Kidding the premises of these
animals can be made so long as they
have access to supplies OF food, Gel
lars, kitchens and pantrios often fur
nish subsistence not only 10 rats that
inhabit the dwelling, but to many that
come from outside. Food supplies
may always be kept from rats and
mice if placed in inexpensive rat-proof
containers covered with wire netting.
Sometimes all that is needed to pre-
vent serious waste Is the application
Of concrete to holes in the basement
wall or the slight repair of a defective
part of the building
The necessity Of cooperation and
organization in the work of rat de-
struction is of the utmost Importance.
To destroy all the animals on the
premises of single farmer In q com
munity has little permanent value,
since they are soon replaced from
nearby farms. IF, however, the farm
ers of an entire township or county
unite in efforts to get rid of rats, much
more lasting results may be attainoF
If continued from year to year, suci
organized efforts are very effective.

BREAD WITHOUT WHEAT.

1t was long thought by most
people that bread could not be
made light with yeast unless a
large proportion Of wheat -four
was used in 1t.
That has been found to be, in
large measure, erroneous.
Breads made of cereal ma
terials other than wheat -four
can be made light with yeast.
The discovery is one of the
necessary wartime achieve
ments of science.
1t is available to the house
keeper and to the professional
baker.
No one who has to do with
bread making can perform his
full patriotic duty without apply
ing it to as great an extent as
possible.

Many of the older members Of con-

cap: "He has had 1t long enough"
That is a statement that gets circu-
lated over a district where a member
has been in congress eight or ten years.
1t does not affect the member who rep
resents constituency which believes
in keeping n man In service term after
term rather than changing to gratify
the ambition of some particular politi-
clan. But for the most part congress
Is made up of men who do not serve

and such men are always beset with
the claim that the incumbent "has had

Food prices in Washington range
from 10 to 40 per cent higher
on all articles than In other cities
of the United States. In some
instances 1t is found that the chief
staples cost nearly twice as much at
the retail places In Washington as
they do In some of the middle West
ern cities. Even after making allow
ance for freight, the range of prices Is
altogether abnormal and shows that
there is a concerted effort in the ma
tional capital to profteer In foods. II
has reached a point where the COM
plants are forcing official action and
1t Is altogether likely that in addi-
ton to legislation which struck at the
rent protiteer In the national capital,
there will be some kind Of law
passed to save the people who are
compelled to live in Washington from
paying this tribute to those who
handle the food supply of the city.
Investigation thus far does not place
the blame upon farmers. because the
farmers in the vicinity of Washington
do not produce enough food to affect
the prices. The supply grown In the
region surrounding Washington is lin
tied and In many cases absorbed by
cities which can be easily reached by
water Baltimore, Philadelphia and

money at the present time, Will have
to make sacrifices to subscribe very
heavily for the next loan. As Sena-
tor Smoot Of Utah remarked, his state
mas already paid, in Liberty loans,
Red Cross and war savings. more
than $44000,O00. which is 500 for
every man, woman and child in the

anything was being returned to the
state on account of the war this
money was n drain which could not
be replaced. At the same time 1t is
expected that everybody will do his

success.
