TORPEDO FIRED AT BIG LINER
But Hope Is Held Out That Celtic
May Be Saved.

New York.-The White Star Liner
Celtic has been torpedoed, according
to a cablegram received by officials OF
the line. The message read: Celtic
torpedoed. Hope to save ship" NO
additional information has been re-
ceiyed. It was assumed by White Star
officials that they would have been no.
tilted had there been loss OF life. They
expressed belief that the Celtic was
en- route to America, but had no knowl-
edge as to whether she carried any
passengers. The Celtic has a gross
tonnage of 20,904, and has for many
wears been one of the largest steam
shins in transatlantic service. She
was built at Belfast in 1901 and flies
the British flag. More than year ago
the Celtic hit mine off Liverpool
but was damaged only slightly. In 1916
il was reported that bomb, presumed
to have been placed on board at New
York. was discovered on the Celtic
upon her arrival at Liverpool, but this
was denied by officers of the White
Star Line. 1t was the Celtic which
brought SEE, 100000 worth of American
securities from England in October
1915.

WARNING IS GIVEN PUBLIC
Look Out For Jagged Bits OF
Glass In Flour and
Pasteries.

New York-Warning to the pubic
ito be most careful in the future when
eating bread, rolls, cakes and pastry,
because Jagged bits of glass have
been found in flour, bread and wrap
pers," was issued by the Federal Food
Board here. The warning added that
complaints of this character have been
sufficiently frequent to warrant the
board in publishing this warning, much
as it dislikes to be put In the position
of seeming to unduly alarm our pub
lie. Housewives should examine bread
after It has been cut and made ready
for the table," says the warning.
Where bread is baked in the home,
the flour should be thoroughly sifted
for foreign substances. Owners OF ba-
keries and those handling fours and
substitutes used in baking are asked
to have rigid inspection made before
these commodities leave shipping
rooms in bulk or manufactured form.
Where suspicion is excited, there
should be thorough investigation"

PACKING PLANTS MAY BE
OPERATED BY GOVERNMENT
President Has Approved Appointment
of a Commission To Study En-
tire Meat Problem.

Washington.-Gover operation
of the big packing houses OF the coun-
try has become a strong probability.
Herbert C. Hoover, Food Administrator
announced that President Wilson mas
approved the appointment OF com
mission to study the entire complex
meat problem and that some drastlc
change of policy, with respect to meat
conservation and distribution, must pc
made Immediately. This change OF

the form of more definite and syste-
matte direction of the larger packers,
as to the course that they are to pur
sue from month to month, or may even
take the form of operation or the
packing house establishments by the
Government" The commission Will be
composed of David F. Houston, Secre-
tary of Agriculture, as representing
the producer; William ]. Harris,
Chairman of the Federal Trade Com
nilsson as representing trade condi-
tions: DR.. F. w. Taussig, Chairman or
the Federal Tariff Board, as represent
/
ing economic thought; William B. Will
son, Secretary of Labor, as represent
ing the civilian consumer; Herbert z.
Hoover, Food Administrator. as having
to carry out any given policy deter
mined upon.
Mr.. Hoover, in letter to President
Wilson pointing out the seriousness
of the beef situation and suggesting
the commission, says the problem Is
one of the most complex facing the
Government. He shows that increased
quantities Of beef must be obtained for
export either by increased production
or by decreased consumption. He
recognizes that consumption could be
reduced by higher prices, but depre-
Gates any efforts to fix the prices for
this purpose because it would mean
the elimination of that part OF the
community that could least afford to
pay more.

APPEALS TO HOTEL MEN

washington, d. C.-Seven hundred
hotel men, coming from all parts Oh
the United States, we're asked by Her
bert C. Hoover, the Food Administra-
tor. for the absolute abolition OF wheat
products from their menus until next
harvest. Unfortunately, you meet US
at probably the most serious day In
our national history since the battle
of Gettysburg" Mr.. Hoover told the
hotel proprietors. "If the Lord is good
70 us in the weather, our difficulties
will be over September i, however,
Mr.. Hoover added. The response was
an abundant outburst Of cheering.
Rising to their feet, the hotel men
raised their right hands and pledged
themselves to effect 100 per cent saw
ing in wheat to be sent to the allies.
The applause died away as John NICE.
Bowman, of New York, head OF the
Food Administration hotel division,
stood ND. How many viii rise with
me to signify they viii comply with
the chiefs request?" Mr.. Bowman
asked. 1t seemed as il every one in
the hall rose simultaneously, waving
flags taken from the luncheon tables
and cheering with abandon.

GEN. FoCH IS IN COMMAND
French Chief Of Command TO Heao
All Allied Forces on the
West Front.

Neutrality-suspicious. Foch, French
Chief of Staff, has been appointed TO
supreme command of all the allied ana
American forces in France, according
TO official information reaching Wash
ington. This means unification OF al
the armies opposing the Germans a
step which the Americans and French
military men long have urged, and
which apparently has been brought
about by recognition of the imperative
demand for concentrated effort to hurl
back the gigantic thrust of the enemy
in France. 1t was learned the Presi-
dent had been advised officially OF the
action when he sent cablegram to
General Foch, congratulating him on
"his new authority" There was no ex-
PLANTATION at the White House of what
the President meant, and it is under
stood there will be no official comment
here until after the announcement
comes from France.

SENATE EXTENDS
The DRAFT AGE
TO INCLUDE MEN REACHING Il
SINCE JUNE s, 1917, THE FIRST
REGISTRATION DAY.
News Proposal, Training Youths
Beaten BY Vote Of SO to 20 AFTER
Several Days Debate.

Western Newspaper Union News Service.
Washington.-The resolution extend
ing the selective draft to men reaching
the age Of 81 years since June b, 1917
the first registration day-Was pass
ed by the Senate without record vote
after little attempt had been maze
to add to it a provision for training
youths from 10 to 81 years old. 1t is
estimated that 100000 men Will De
added to the registration this year by
the resolution, which is one OF the
pieces of legislature on which the war
Department is waiting before announc-
ing complete plans for the next draft.
IT goes now to the House for cons1d-
Grafton there with the bill to base
draft quotas on the number OF regis
trants in Glass One instead OF on pop
ulation. another of the administration
measures passed already by the Sen
ate.
The proposal to require training OF
bows beyond 10 and under registration
age was in the form of an amendment
Senator New, of Indiana, which the
Senate rejected, So to 26, after a de-
bate of several days. Several Senators
who favor universal military training
as a peace-time policy voted against
the amendment. AS adopted, the reso-
luton provides that all citizens OF the
United States residing in this coun'
try. attaining their majority since
June S, last, shall be subject to regis
tration under regulations prescribed
by the President; shall present them
selves for registration on a day pro-
claimed by the President and there
after shall be liable to military serv-
ice. There was no opposition to the
resolution itself, the only controversy
being over the New amendment. Up
ponents of the plan argued that train
ing youths would hamper urgent army
enterprises and take the labor from
farms and factories, without providing
soldiers for immediate needs at the
front Strong sentiment for universal
compulsory, military training was ap-
parent, however, and the vote was not
regarded as foreshadowing future ac-
ton on Senator Chamberlain's unlVer-
sal training bill.

WHY IT'S PATRIOTIC
TO EAT THE POTATOES.
TuberS Are Plentiful and Too Bulky
for Shipment Across Sea; Plenty
Over There Anyhow.

The reason for the potato cam.
palgn Is that the food bins are hcapcd
with potatoes ~ the answer Of the
formers in last years appeal for the
bump war crops, The potatoes
grown through patriotism should be
eaten through patriotism. With 50
many other things scarce, potatoes,
' hich are plentiful, should not 20 to
waste. And they will 20 to waste if
they are not eaten in the next few
weeks. To eat potatoes is the best
kind IT local, home grown patriotism.
Potatoes are u strictly made IN.
America product. They grew on this
continent when the Mohawks and the
thcrokec> ruled it with n tomahawk.
They were the Gift of America to
Europe, and Europe has gone us one
better. England, France, Germany,
Belgium have made the potato a
naturalized citizen, while Ireland,
God bless her, has almost made it Il
patron saint along with st. Patrick
himself.
IN spite of it's adoption in other
countries, however, the potato proved
il was n tire American last wear
when the crops were called to the
front for war service. It enlisted in
the front ranks Of the food forces,
with the result that we have such a
potato crop rs was never known in
this country, Europe does not need
our potatoes, They are too bulky
TO ship at this time when ships must
be saved for troops and for the most
essential and concentrated foods.
Therefore, the hest form Of patriot
ism is to eat our bumper crop and
make it help save wheat.
