In the famous secret memorandum

Since the German offensive began.
the three greatest iron magnates in
Germany have demanded the annexa-

six-tenths Of the ore supply Of France.
August Thyssen declared: The al

French projectiles. The narrow
French frontier must again come into

Not only does the district belong nat

would still have more iron than Ger

mand the rectincation Of the frontier

Longwy. To give up this country
which has served US so well during
the war. and to keep to our old bor-

ACT To- FOIL POSSIBLE
INJURY To ICE PLANTS

Taking precautions against damage
to ice plants which might endanger
the thousands Of men in cantonments
and in the war industry communi-
ties. the Food Administration yes
terday announced that It had started
survey OF all the ice facilities Of
the country to store up emergency
supplies for practically all the large
centers
Questionnaires have been sent to
all ice-making plants to learn their
capacity and the possibilities OF in
creasing storage. Yelled threats have
been received, indicating that at
tempts might made to cut OF the
ice supply. Proper precautions have
been taken by the authorities
throughout the country. on receipt Of
first word from the Food Admins
tration. But the administration
plans to have a sufficient quantity
stored for practically any emergency.
The ammonia conservation order
ended yesterday. 1t had been in
effect since April u, when the gov
eminent took measures to learn the
approximate supply available. Many
of the private refrigeration plants
have been converted to use salt in
stead Of ammonia and the officials
believe the supply of ammonia now
is sufficient to meet the probable
needs. New York and several other
states. which had been holding down
on the ammonia consumption, i'm
mediately began to run their plants
at about % per cent capacity. This
will be allowed generally, and prob
ably an increase will be permitted
later, as the hotter weather ap-
proaches and the demand for ice
becomes greater.

some ways OF saving Frut For the
Winter Time.
The United States Food Admins
tratiOn is asking everyone TO buy for
household use no more sugar than is
absolutely necessary. This is asked
IN order that there will be some for
canning. But fruits should be cam
ned without sugar If possible. Here
are some suggestions.
Mash ripe fruit (berries, cherries,
figs, apricOts, peaches and blue pIums
may be used) to a pulp, spread on
lightly oiled platters and dry in the
sun or dryer. When dry, sprinkle
with sugar. and pack away in Jars or
very tight boxes lined with wax paper.
Peaches or half-and-half peaches
and figs make delicious leather and
need only a sprinkling Of sugar.
Serve this leather in winter instead
Of candy or with cream cheese and
nuts for desert. Fruit leather may
be soaked in water and used for pies,
shortcakes, puddings, and sauces
When intended for this purpose omit
the sugar.
