DEMAND GROWING
FOR PREPAREDNESS
NGREATER SCALE

The dangerous possibilities of the
German drive&the warning Of Gen.
Leonard Wood that this country
should have an army OF 100000 men,
the utterances OF Senator New and
other Senators in favor OF a vastly
augmented army and various develL
opments combined to give special in
terest today to the question OF what
Congress and the Administration are
going to do about the expansion OF
the military system.
Whether II comes at once Is doubt
full, but there is no question OF q rap
idly accommodating sentiment here in
favor OF preparedness on a greater
scale.
New Raised Issue.
Senator New OF Indiana has raised
the issue of universal training in con-
nection with the bill to include in
the draft young men who have be-
come twenty-one since June 5. The
bill and the New amendment have al
ready brought out some interesting
Senate debate. and more-is expected
today.
Senator New will force roll call,
IL possible, on his amendment. With
the Administration still opposed to
universal training, or at least giving
it a cold shoulder, 1t is not anticipated
1t will get majority of the Senators.
1t is plain, however, that 1t is gain
ing strength steadily, and II 1t fails
to pass at this time, efforts in its
behalf will be renewed. Senator
Chamberlain is more than ever con
WINGED OF the need OF II.
Awake to Peril.
without regard to- partisenshlp.
Congress today is more fully awak-
ened to the peril in which America
and civilization in general stands
from the Hun designs of world empire
than ever before. 1t is in a mood to
appropriate for men. aeroplanes,
guns, and ships without stint. and
this will be shown in the liberality OF
appropriations the rest of the session.
Senators and House members today
continued to devour bulletins on the
war operations and to make eager in
quiries for every scrap Of news. The
initial retirement of the British has
not caused any loss OF confidence in
the ultimate repulse and crushing OF
the German offensive.

DAYLIGHT LAW NOT
TO AFFECT STORES HERE

There will be no change OF hours
OF doing business in Washington's
stores when the daylight savings law
goes into effect Sunday. said Charles
J. Columbus, secretary OF the Mer-
chants and Manufacturers' Associa-
ton, today.
"Our merchants feel that the hours
for opening and closing are satisfac-
tory-they can only keep the stores
open eight hours, and when there IL
provided an extra hour OF daylight,
none OF our people favor keeping
open an hour later" said Mr.. Column
bus.
He added that he didn't believe
that there would be a merchant in
Washington who would keep open
later than o'clock.

NO INDIGESTION

Persistent published reports that So
called "war bread" and the Victory

meal Is one of the most easily Access
sIble wheat substitutes, and Is most
abundant in this country. 1t makes
splendid bread, whether alone or mix
ed with wheat -four. But It must be
made Of the whole corn. There is no
valid excuse for removing the germ
and bran from corn before milling.
"'Other wholesome wheat substitutes
are whole ground rye. whole ground
barley and whole ground oats. These
are all excellent cereals, and make
good bread, either alone OF mixed.
Extensive experiments by the Pub

prove that bottled cereal prpducts-nne
white -four and ordinary commercial
