GERMAN SAYS YANKS
KNOW HOW TO GO
AHEAD TOO we'll

COBLENZ. Dec. Is (By Courier to
NaEcy)-"Thc Americans lacked ex-
perience in the technicalities OF mod
ern warfare. but they knew how TO go
ahead-they knew too well.
That is the opinion OF Colonel Won
Steibel. chief-of-staff of the 9th DIV
sion. which fought and was beaten
by the Americans in the Argonne.
Won Steibel, who is attached TO the
German bridgehead commission. as
cussed with the United Press CORES
pondeut the phases of the Argonne
break through.
"Thc Americans were too reckless
in too much of hurry to get Things
DONE" he said For instance. IN at
tacking our machine guns--which are
the best in the world-they utilized no
scientific means. 1t seemed 10 US
that the only way they knew to elm
mate a machine gun nest was 10 keep
coming until they got it. That was
rather discoura ging to the morale OF
our gunners. They knew that II they
stayed long they would be killed OF
captured.
Could Have Beaten Allies.
"We have no doubt that American
Intervention won the war. we couiu
have beaten the other allies, but the
constant stream of Americans. young
and enthusiastim, overwhelmed US.
"The Americans are good opponents
and fair fighters"
Won Steibel declared the German
army could have held out for months
IL internal conditions had not inter-
fered but, sooner or later, lack of ma
terial would have brought its down
fall.
He asserted that Ludendorff is
great general, but that he made a num-
ber of fundamental mistakes, such as
the Verdun attack. He inquired
eagerly about the effects OF German
artillery fire. He also wanted to
know what the doughboys thought OF
the German soldiers courage and
ability.

FOR DELICIOUS MEAT, TRY RABBIT
Hill 304 is in the

Demonstrations are given in the
boys and girls clubs as to the best
way to kill, dress and market rabbits.
The young people are also taught how
to can the meat and tan the skins
for home use. The popular use OF
rabbit skins by furriers OF this country
is evidenced by the import lists of last
year, which show 90000,000 skins were
shipped here from foreign countries in
the twelve months preceding. These
pelts also are used by hatters to make
better grades of felt hats.
Rabbits don't crow or lay eggs, but
they are right there with the cheapest
meat that can be produced.

have learned the value of potatoes as
n substitute for wheat. Many com
mercial bakers have learned the same
hing.
Potato bread is both better and
cheaper than bread made with any
other substitute. 1t is better and
cheaper than bread made Of wheat
alone.
The use Of potatoes in bread max
ing saves the small potatoes. saves
wheat and other grain which we can
export, saves oats, corn, and barley
needed to produce meats and fats,
saves transportation, fuel and labor.
About GO per cent of the people OF
the United States reside on the
farms and in the small towns where
potatoes are grown and where bread
is made in the homes instead of in
commercial bakeries.
The great bulk of the 1918 crop of
potatoes Is still in the rural dis
t,'icts, and when they are used to
make bread on the farm or in the
small town 1t saves hauling them to
market, it saves the transportation
of cornmeal, rye flour, or other sub
stitutes for wheat.
The use. of potatoes in making
bread is simple process. Bake or
boil the potatoes, peal, mash. or put
through ricer; use one cup of pota-
toes to two cups of wheat flour;
uaEe bread In the usual way.
Oat meal, rice, rolled oats, barley,
graham, milo or kaffir flour. peanut
meal, or any substitute flour except
cornmeal, can be used with One-third
potatoes and one-third wheat -four.
Even though it is no longer neces-
sary to use wheat substitutes to save
wheat, the use of small potatoes in
making bread will save the potatoes
that otherwise will be wasted.

Der and popularity.
When the fact began to be realized
that the number of domesticated ami
mails ordinarily used for food was not
equal to the demand, various other
sources which might be used to sup
plement the regular supply were lnves-
tigated. One of the most promising
discovered lay in increasing the mum
Der of rabbits and encouraging heir
use for food. This was in line with
the findings in other countries on the
/ same question. 1t is stated that 81
per cent of the meat used in Germany
! last year was rabbit.

! Those who know good food lone

regularly serve rabbit prepared il
