She, too, was to accompany the boys
to Funston. Because OF her motor
driving service which would not give
her sufficient time to return home
and change into the Red Cross cam

duty on short notice, Mrs. Westbrook
is permitted by Mrs. Luther Kountze,
head of the Red Cross canteen COM

Mrs. Westbrook had a near-tragic

ARDENIfG and food preserva.

rARDENIfG and food preserva-

~ conservation that are being EN-
phasized in the district meetings and
instruction schools conducted by Miss
Nellie Farnsworth, federal food agent.
Reports are coming in from the va
rious districts of the city show excel
lent work on the part of the Block
Vigilants. In the Miller park district
Mrs. Dean Gregg, chairman-685 calls
have been made in the interests of
conservation.
To the woman who is unsuccessful
with her first attempt at breadmaking
with the various substitute fours the
experience of Mrs. G. R. Spencer of
Florence will prove helpful. One
baking of bread was not very light.
so, being too patriotic to feed the
bread to the chickens, Mrs. Spencer
baked it for long time until it was
very dry and then put it through the
food grinder. A little molasses was
cooked as for making popcorn balls
and poured over the bread crumbs.
This proved delightful breakfast
food, served with cream, as each
crumb was coated with molasses and
no sugar was needed.

be started in the next two weeks at

London, July 15.-A sharp indict- ment of the rulers of Germany ,hg Maximilian Harden is contained in a current number of Die zul1unft. The holders of high office, he is quoted as saying by the Rotterdam correspond ent of the Daily Telegraph, when it seem useful to themselves profess to favor new world order of democ- racy and national peace, but they really are only carrying on the tra- dition of the power of the sword.
 No high parsonage in the Ger man empire,' he says, "Wishes to sec set up a league of nations, ad- hesion to which has been declared by the states of North and South Ameri- ca and representatives of England, France, Italy, Canada, Australia and India. The continuance of endeavors to conceal this fact has become un- necessary since Brest- Litovsk and Bucharest.
 We know what the enemy wants and we know we have a government which, calling itself pan-German or whatever else it likee only expects peace through the might of the army and feel certain of obtaining it in a short time.
 We may be certain that no words of theirs will ever gain belief any where"

Washington of the Opinion That Enc my Deliberately Selected This
 Section for New Drive.

Washington, July 15.-The Ger mans have selected the road to Paris for renewal of their drive, officers here believed today. judging from early re- ports on the violent movement.
 It is regarded as possible that the purpose of the attack Is to widen still further the Aisne salient by reducine. Rheims and the forcing back of the whole southern extremity of the 1918 battle area.
 Extensive employment of naval guns for long range bombardment of the Allied rear positions suggests it was the time required to bring up and e1nplace these weapons that held LID the German drive.
