Save the Beet

The food administration has
issued the following in regard to
meat consumption:
"The demands for beef for our
army and the allied armies and
their civil populations for this
summer are beyond our present
surplus. On the other hand, we
have enough increased supply Of
pork this summer to permit
economical expanse in it's use.
It will therefore be a direct SER
vice to our armies and the allies
II our people would in some de-
gree substitute fresh pork, ba-
con, hams and sausage for beef
products. We request all hotels
and restaurants not to place on
their menus or serve boiled beef
more than two meals weekly,
beef steak more than one meal
weekly and roast beef more than
one meal weekly. We ask house
holders not, under any circum-
stances, to buy more than Il lbs.
of clear beef weekly, or /! lbs,
including the bones, per person
in the household. The public
will realize that the changing
conditions of production from
season to season, the changing
situation in shipping and there
fore of the markets available to
the allies, and the increasing de-
mands for our growing army
with the huctuating supply Of
local beef in France, all make it
impossible to determine policies
for long periods in advance. We
have recently asked for economy
in all meat consumption. We
wish now to emphasize further
reduction of beef by the substi-
tuition of pork. 1t is anticipated
that it will hold good until Sep
TENDER 18th and the cooperation
Of the public is most earnestly
requested

Dear friends
We are having a nice rain to
da.-, the fiji st we have had for tw,
weeks. There was a bad fros
here Saturday night, damag n.
the corn quite badly but don
think it hurt the small grain any
to speak of as it has already
started to ripen. We went on &
short hike yesterday and saw
harvesting in lots of places. The
crops look good and this rain vii
no doubt help the corn some.

Sunday and the 61st is also pre-.
pairing to move, SO we will no
doubt also move soon. Co. G.
only lacks 5 men at present.
Yesterday they took out all
men not needed for railroad
work and put them in the Cas-
ual Co. and transferred men
from other companies to fill up.
We are well drilled now as they
have been rushing US right thru,
SO | don't think we will be long
on this side. The men are all
anxious to go across and get into
the game over there. We are
getting good food and we have
a nice bunch of officers. Most
of the men are fitted out with
unifol ms, but some are hard to
fit. Each man has a suit of blue
o~veralls for drill, 2 khaki suits,
2 suits of underwear, 2 o. D..
shirts, campaign hat and 2 pair
leggings, l pair of shoes and 5
pair of sox. We turn in all of
our equipment when we go a.
cross and a.e given an entire out
fit of wool uniform and all. Ar
my life is a big change to all of
us as we are under strict disci,
pine at all times and some things
we do in civil life are absolutely
prohibited in the army. It will
certainly be good training for
all of us as it will help anyone
who comes to do his best, but
the shirker certainly has a hard
row to hoe, because all officers
and ,non-commissiohed office rs
are after them al! the time. /

The Meat Supply

A woman was telling the other
day about buying meat at large
city market. She had not had any
any beefsteaksfor long time, and
thought she would blow in one good
dinner, When she looked at her
bill, it.charged her $500 pound
for her sbeefsteak. While butchers
shops have not generally reached
that mark, many of them come
close to.it.

Matthew 1852. Never was truer
word than that. The German war
lord knows it now; and it is a good
time for all of us to rehearse again
the old text. 1t is truth that
every conqueror has learned to his
sorrow. In the days of her pride

hearing it. could not understand.
But the old truth will not fall upon
deaf ears today. America stands
upon a higher pinnacle than the
great Roman Republic ever reached;
we have attained a height of glory
and power never before gained by
any free nation in the entire history
of the world. But if we are to be
greater than Rome, we must also be

ALLIES ARE FED

America Supplied Food
t., to Europe

Exports from this country since II
entered the war have kept starvation
from Allied Europe and have main
tanned the health and strength of those
who have been bearing the brunt of
our battles, so that they could hold
out to victory. Now that hostilities
have ceased we must assume the add
ed burden of keeping starvation from
decreasing Its toll upon the millions
who have been liberated from the
PrusSian yoke. Famine would undo
the work which has been accomplished
in freeing the world for democracy. No
stable government can be established
and maintained by nation harassed
by hunger. A starving people turns
to riotlng and anarchy. Food has

without our help II would have been
absolutely impossible for the Allies to
maintain a living ration. Since our
entry into the war we have been con-
tributing largely to the support of one
hundred and twenty million people
whose normal food supplies have been
cut off, whose production has fallen
almost to the vanishing point, whose
fields have been devastated by Ger
many. The food exported from the
United States in the past year has
been sufficient TO supply the complete
ration Of twenty-five million people.
1t is hard to grasp the magnitude
and significance Of the assistance
which has been lent the Allies b. the
patriotic, voluntary service of the
American people. The food we sent
abroad last year would have been suf-
flcient to feed one-fifth of our pOpula-
ton. And this was done In spite OF
the fact that we entered the year with
short crops. Our surplus was practi-
cally nothing. An overwhelming pro-
portion of the food tia; left this coun-
try last year was saved out of the nor
mai home cOnsumption Of our own
people.
Iii spite of difficulties met in inter-

year amounted TO a ti-ure that Il few

Look at England to-day" he re-
marked. "She is ruled by Lloyd
George, Socialist! Why. England is
virtually a republic, as bad as
France. What's become of the King
of England? One never hears of
him any more! Why doesn't he as
sert himself?' The tone of disgust
with which he gave vent to these
sentiments was more significant. per-
haps, than the words used might
imply.
Your President is trying to over
throw me and my family from the
throne of Germany by his notes." he
commented bitterly, when saw him
shortly after the publication of the
Presidents reply to the Pope, but
he little understands how loyal are
my people and how futile his efforts
will prove. They held meetings re-
Gently all over the empire. in every
city and village. and showed their
allegiance to me in no uncertain way,
and your President received the an
swer from my people that he de-
served" 1 wondered whether the
Kaiser was unaware of the fact that
all these meetings had been inspired
| by the government and their useful
agent, the press, or whether he was
once again making use of his his
trionic ability.
The Kaisers resentment against
President Wilson will be better un-
derstood, perhaps, by reference to
one or two passages from the notes
to which the Kaiser undoubtedly al
luded:
In President Wilson's war message
to Congress of April 2, 1917 occur
the following passages
I'VE have no nnarra1 with tha
man people. We have no feeling to-
ward them but one of sympathy and
friendship. 1t was not upon their
impulse that their government acted
in entering this war It was not with
their previous knowledge or ap-
proval. 1t was a war determined
upon as wars used to be determined
in the old, unhappy days when peo-
pies were nowhere consulted by their
rulers and wars were provoked and
waged in the interest of dynastfes or
of little groupsof am bilious men who
were accustomed to use their fellow
men as pawns and tools
Does not every American feel
that assurance has been added to our
hope for the future peace of the
world by the wonderful and hearten-
ing things that have been happening
within the last few weeks in Russia?
Russia was known by those who
knew it best to have been always
in fact democratic at heart. in all
the vital habits of her thought in all
the intimate relationships of her
people that spoke their natural in
stinct, their habitual habit toward
life. The autocracy that crowned

was the reality of it's power, was

acter or purpose; and now It has
been shaken off and the great, gen.
erous Russian people have been add
ed in all their native majesty and
might to the forces that are fighting
for freedom in the world, for justice.
and for peace. Here is a fit partner
for a League of Honor.

And in the Presidents replv of
August 81. 1917, to the Pope's Peace
Proposal occurred the following pas

the militarists' anxiety not to post
pone the war too long.
After mobilization was ordered,
however. the Kaiser decided to re-
cede from his position somewhat,
and from the balcony of the Palace
in Berlin, in front of which an
enormous crowd had gathered, he
declared significantly: IT recognize
no parties. We are now all Ger
mans"
If anyone imagines, however. that
his kow-towing to the Socialists in
this instance was evidence of a per-
manent change of heart. he little ap-
preciates how deeply rooted is the
Kaiser's adherence of socialism and
democracy. Indeed, one of the prin-
cipal things the Kaiser hoped to ac-
eomplish by prosecuting the war to
a triumphant conclusion was the
blow it would deal to socialistic pro-
gress. He felt that victory would
make his army the, idol of the peo-
pie and that their monarch would
shine in the reflected glory of their
martial achieveme A successful
war, he believed. would set socialism
back a hundred years.
Certain it is the war brought no
change in the Kaiser's personal hab-
it's. Even to curry favor with the So
cialistic element, he never unbent

to the slightest degree in his outward
display of kingly attributes. In all
his career, the German people had
never seen their Kaiser other than in
his royal uniform, and at all military
parades or reviews, he always rode
a white horse, that he might be most
conspicuous, and bore the royal mace
which his ancestors had carried CEN
turies before him. With the death
struggle between mediaeval mon
archy and democracy raging about
him, the Kaiser was determined to
yield not little of his prerogatives.
His automobile still made its coming
known by it's distinctive "tade-tada-
ta-ta" and the royal palaces were
maintained in all their accustomed
pomp.
But while the Kaisers armies were
triumphant in the field, the principle
which he was com batting was every
where gaining ground. On March Is,
1917, the Car abdicated, and Rus
sia, whose autocratic form of govern
ment had long been the envy of the
German aristocracy, became re-
public.
1.-The downfall of the Russian en-
pire was brought about by England
because she feared that the Gar was
about to make a separate peace" the
Kaiser commented to me. LAS mat
ter of fact however, neither the Gear
nor his government ever approach
ed us on that subject, and when
England overthrow the Russian
monarchy she defeated her very pur-
pose. With the Czar on the throne,
Russia would probably have gone ON

Although the Kaiser bore no par
ticular love for the Czar. whom he
was fighting, he had no desire to
convert the empire into a democracy.

The government had been allowing
Jim S36 a month for rent while he
was a bachelor first lieutenant. l
decided that it would probably give
him about $45 for self and wife,"
and that I must find a little apart
ment for that sum. We couldn't dig
deeper into our salary for rent.
1t was impossible to discuss the
matter with Jim, for the shadow of
unhappfness and nervousness was
always wringing it's way across his
face. Fearless Jim" seldom smiled
now-these days he wasn't fearless,
him with questions.
Forty-f1ve dollars a month didn't
impress the first real estate agent
Very favorably.
l went a weary round of offices
and finally, at the fourth, procured
a list of apartments ranging in
rental from forty dollars a month
to sixty-fve dollars. Why I took
the beyond the-dreams- of -avarice-
sixty-five- dollar list 1 never knew!
Then | travelled from one end of
the town to the other. I saw
"walk-ups," with dark halls and
great, large, dreary rooms - fifty
three dollars and fifty cents. There
were apartments with no electricity,
apartments with ancient plum bing,
apartments from which l could hear
the roar of the "el," apartments so
tar from street car and subway that
i dare not contemplate walking to
and fro on Il slippery wintry day.
That is l didn't dare contemplate the
walk for my Jim with his shat
tered ankle bone.
Two days of weary search. Two
days of mysterious business" that
took all my husbands time. Quiet
evenings, when each of us was cvi-
IDENTIFY trying to hide some pain or
disappointment from the other.
Then l decided to go down to the
Washington Square neighborhood
and hunt about for myself. 1
had heard of a wonderful place
where apartments went for as little
as six dollars a month. But I found
that the Place and the Alley were
alleys indeed; that the rentals were
far, far higher than tradition had
said, and that both had long waiting
lists.
Disconsolate I wandered over to
the Avenue wanted to get out of
the atmosphere of shocked girls
with short bobbed hair and anaemic
men with long, bobbed hair. And
then heard a husky little voice
cry from car that was drawing
near the curb:
why, its Jim's wifei Mrs. Har-
rison! Anne-Anne"
1t was Evelyn Mason. She was
driving a smart little "chumny
roadster" enameled blue. She her.
self, was all in soft gray, with beads
and sport hat of blue. She looked
like a pert. mischievous child. At
her side sat Sally Royce-more like
a copper brown Pekinese than ever
in her copper colored silk jersey and
Haunting hat of gold and copper
straw.
They dragged me to lunch with
them. They ordered lavishly and
quite without askinA me what ]
preferred. They questioned me
about where we were staying and
what I was doing down near the
Arch. When 1 told them that Jim
and / were at the Walgrave they ex-
changed glances that were almost
audible.
When I told them that I was
"house hunting" Evelyn was fairly
