But Efforts to FraterniZe Receive Cold Shoulder
 from Americans

Washington, July 2.-General Per shing's communique yesterday says:
 South of the Marne, between the evening of June 27 and and the even ing of June 28, it was noticeable that the activity of the enemy had in- creased while certain nervousness on his part was also observed. His artillery was constantly active thru out the breadth of our sector and, as on the preceding day, paid special at tention to our positions on the left.
 "In constrast to the activity which has recently prevailed in the sector occupied by our troops in Picardy, the da-' extending from noon June 26 till noon June 27 was uneventful.
 "In the Mulhouse sector our troops experienced on June 27 a very quiet day:
 "In the vicinity of Colmar the days of June 26 and 27 were marked chief ly by the attempts of the enemy to raid our lines. On the night of June 25 to 26 large German patrol made a determined attack which was repulsed after two hours of brisk fighting. The condition of the ground, as it ap- peared on the morning of June 26, gave clear evidence that the Germans had sustained casualties, fact which was further borne out by the amount of material left behind.
 Ut is reported that the Germans at one point have been attempting to make friends with our men. On the morning of June 25 they made signs signifying good morning. they had deposited some kittens on the para pets of the small posts and threw 8 package of cigarettes into one of our barbed wire entanglements. Our sol- diers do not reciprocate these atten- tions."

LAUNCH MOVE AGAINST
 PESTS, DISEASE
City Beautiful Club Mem. bers Plan to Eradicate
 Flies and Mosquitoes.

The City Beautiful club members have launched campaign to make Pine Bluff mosquitoless, flyless. weedless, typhoidless and malarialess' town. A committee from the club composed Of Mrs. E. A. Peck, Mrs. J. M. Hightower and Mrs. w. F. Coleman appeared before the Rotary club yes- terday, and sought the cooperation of that organization in the campaign.
 Mrs. Peck, speaking for the dele gation, said that MT. Hyman, the ex- pert in charge of the Cotton Belt anti-mosquito forces, would lend his assistance, and that conference was planned for Thursday, when the work to be done would be outlined. Ac- cording to Mrs. Peck, it is the plan of the ladies to obtain the cooperation of everybody in the city in a general cleanup and weed cutting movement, and to arrange for the drainage of pools and oiling bodies of water which cannot be drained. Mrs. Peck en- phasized the need for this work, and requested on behalf Of her club that the Rotary club meet with the City Beautiful club and the expert to out line a plan of procedure. eff you will help us, and will get the mer- chants to declare half-holiday, that all may take part, we will make Pine Bluff better place in which to live; a, place to which people will be glad to come; Pine Bluff of which we will be proud; Pine Bluff mos quitoless and flyless."
 Dr. E. c. McIMullen. county health officer, discussed the work necessary to eradicate the mosquito, and said that. the Cotton Belt railroad already has spent several thousand dollars here. NPinchback Taylor said the Cotton Belt had drained Brewster's brickyard, by excavating along a ditch, and showed that the work is well under way.
 The proposal of the City Beautiful club was referred to the Rotary board of directors, in accord with resolu- tion of that club which provides that all matters requiring the expenditure of money be passed on by the board before the club takes action. Repre- sentatives of the board will attend the conference with the sanitary ex- pert and the City Beautiful commit tee.

 SOUND IN CITY

 Prayer.

The War Angelus will ring in Pine Bluff each day if a movement start ed at the Rotary club meeting yes- terday meets approval.

Washington. July 2.-Legislation in the rivers and hanbors appropriation bill authorizing an investigation of the dumping of waste matter from factories into streams was stricken out today by senate and house con ferees because manufacturers of war materials protested that such legis- latior might curtail production.

british GOVERNMENT
HELPS PAY FOR Bread

There has been much misunder-
standing about the bread program in
England. 1t is true that the English
man buys a loaf of bread for less than
an American can, but it Is poorer
bread, and the British government Is
paying S2OOOO0OOO year toward the
cost Of 1t.
All the grain grown in Great Brit
ain is taken over by the government
at an arbitrary price and the imported
wheat purchased on the markets at
the prevailing market price. This Is
turned over to the mills by the govern
ment at a price that allows the adul-
terated war bread loaf Of four pounds
to sell at 1S cents, the two pound loaf
at 9 cents and the one pound loaf at 5
cents.
In France, under conditions some
what similar, but with a larger ex-
traction, the four pound loaf sells for
16 cents.

Canada IL also having trouble With

cording to an official statement ~
ceiyed from the Canadian food cen
troller by the United States food ~
ministratiop.
The stories bothering Canada arc
Of the same general character as those
the United States food administers
tor recently denounced in this counr
try, such as the ridiculous salt and
blueing famine fakes and the report
that the government would seizs
housewives stocks Of home canned
goods.
The Canadian food controller esti-
mates that when the people listen to
and pass on such stories, each one
has the power Of destruction that lies
in battalion Of soldiers.
"Stories without even a vestige OF
foundation have been scattered broad
cast" said the Canadian statement
Nor have they come to life casually.
They have started simultaneously in
different parts Of the country and In
each instance have been calculated to
arouse public indignation.
"They are insidious, subtle, persist
ent. Bit by bit they dissipate public
trust, the great essential in the work
Of food control.
1T lies with every individual to for
bear from criticism; to refrain from
passing on the vagrant and harmful
story, and thus the more effectively
to cooperate in work which Is going
to mean more than the majority OF
people yet realize"

There is no royal road to food
conservation. We can only ae-
eompIish this by the voluntary
action OF our whole people, each
element In proportion to its means.
Il Is a matter Of equality Of bur-

MAKING MEATLESS
DAYS PERMANENT.

In the meatless menu there Is fer
tile field for developing new and nour-
ishiirg dishes, according to E. H. Niles,
writing in the Hotel Gazette, who be-
lieyes that the present shortage Of
meat and fats will not end with the
coming of peace, but may grow more
acute and continue for five or six
wears, thus making 1t worth while to
develop menus Of grain. vegetables
and fish on a more or less permanent
basis. Meat can be replaced by cereals
and other protein foods, or may be
served in very small portions as fla
voring for other food. In making up
meatless menus his author finds our
American Creole and southern cuisine
4 broad field for investigation.

less than quarter of what ate last year-we can
support those who are fighting our battles And We
can do 1t without stnting ourselves. We have only
to substitute another food just as good.
The Corn of Plenty-Corn is that food. There's

hour of need It has given corn in such bounty

NEED BIG HERDS
Europe's Meat Supply Must Come
From America.
Warning Nations Have Depleted Live
Stock at Enormous Rate, Evsa
Killing Dairy Cattle For Food.

American stock breeders are being
asked to conserve their hocks and
herds In order to meet Europe's tre-
mendous demands for meats during
the war and probably for many years
afterward.
The United States food admins
tration reports that American stock
raisers have shown disposition to
cooperate with the government In in
creasing the nations supply Of live
stock.
Germany today is probably better
supplied with live stock than any 9TH
or European nation. When the Ger
man armies made their big advance
into France and then retreated vir-
tually all the cattle in the invaded
territory approximately 100000
head-were driven behind the German
lines.
But In England-where 100000
acres Of pasture lands have been turn
ed into grain helds-the cattle herds
are decreasing rapidly. One Of the
reasons apparently is the declining
maximum price scale adopted By the
English a. follows: For September,
317.7e per 100 pounds; October, ST 7.1;
November and DecembsS t1a0e; jan
lary, $40 The effect Il these prices
was to drive beef animals On the nar
ket q soon AZ possible.
In France the number Of cattle a.
well ~ the quality have shown a
enormous decline during the waf.
Where France had 14,S07 900 head Of
cattle In 1913, she now has only r.
81, 900, q decrease Of 1as pef cent
And France u today producing only
one gallon Of milk compared 10 two
and ons-haH gallons before the war.
Denmark and Holland have been
forced to sacrifice dairy herds for beet
because Of the lack Of necessary feed.
Close study Of the European meat
situation has convinced the Food Adr
uinistration that the future problem
Of America lies largely In the produc-
ton Of meat producing animals and
dairy products rather than in the pro-
duction Of cereals for export when
he war will have ceased
