American troops who are arriving in France at the rata of 300,000 d month Secretary Baker recently stated that there were now a million Americans abroad, of whom nearly seventy per cent. were actual fighting men. Early in August there will be million and half of our troops in France. On June 18th the first American contin- gent landed in Italy, and General Pershing under orders from Washing ton is sending a regiment from France also, so that as soon as possible our flag may be seen with the British and French standards bearing it's part in helping Italy against Austria.

FOLLY TO TRUST GERMANY.

Germany's policy in regard to hos pital ships has been fully understood for some time. It does not propose to respect ship of mercy any more than it intends to ohev the rules of war which it assisted ''7 making. It was only few day that Dutch hospital ship was to the bottom after it was expree understood that such vessels p1rin' between England and Holland For the exchange Of prisoners would be respected.
 T'rt right or top of that act comes the announcement to the effect that the Llandovery Castle, a Canadian hospital ship returning to England, has been sunk 70 miles from land without warning and thus far only q single boatload of those aboard, con- sicting of the crew, medical corps and nurses, has been rescued.
 According to the account given by the survivors it is perfectly evident that the commander of the German underwater boat knew what he was doing and it is evident that he be- lieved that he had sent to the bottom the hospital ship which the United States recently announced it was go- ing to send abroad with the belief that it would be respected by the submarines. This is made evident by the claim that American aviators were aboard whereas there were or the vessel only those who were enti- tied to be and the ship was proceed ing fully lighted.
 It is only another bit of evidence to the effect that Germany is ready to trump up any excuse to sink sucf ships and in this case it used thu very excuse that German paper in timated would be used under sucf conditions. IL simply proves that j is ridiculous to place any reliancl whatever in Germany, although pas conduct had fully established such { faCt.

CANNING

Home equipment for cold pack can- ming is simple and within the means Of nearly every housewife. Most of the things needed are already in the average home and the few extras may be obtained at slight cost. Write at once for a free canning manual, en- closing a two-cent stamp to pay for postage, to the National War Garden Commission. Washington.
 Of first considerat ton is the steri- lizer in which food products in the jars are 'processed." The wash boiler is suitable and is used extensively. When stove space is small, however, this boiler requires more room than convenient to spare; and because of it's size requires large fuel output. An ordinary heavy tin or galvanized iron bucket is handy, takes up little space, and requires less fuel to eper : ate It holds fewer jars, of course, but is ample for the needs of the busy housekeeper who may can. contin- uously during the season, but whose ahily routine permits the handling only of small quantities at one time. If the purchase of receptacle is nee essary and a larger capacity is de- sired, medium size galvanized iron garbage can will prove satisfactory
 
 space than an oval type such as the wash boiler. 4 cylindrical vessel such as the portable hot water tanl, or soup kettle with faucet at the base Is practical.
 Examine the bottom of the steri Ezer chosen to see whether there is an extension of the sides, thus pre- venting the surface of the base from contact with the hot iron, when rest | ing on the stove If such be the case, it will be difficult to raise the water to the boiling point and keel it there without removing lid sc 1 that the flames may touch or come | very close to the bottom.
 l Priceless cookers are not suitable for processing in the cold pack method.
 l A false bottom fitting inside is ar essential part of the steriiizer. This is to keep the jars at least three l quarters of an inch from the bottom

Everything in Russia now pales be- fore the question of something to eat. There is often no bread at all in Pe
 trograd for days together. only half a pound of potatoes apiece and the same quantity of dried herbs. Since January the, maximum allowance of bread per person has been cut from four ounces to two ounces daily and even the issuance of this small quan- tity is dependent on the ability of the bakers to obtain flour.

 closing for want of things to sell, and

 urge that help be sent to rid his
 famine stricken land from bolsheviki
 anarchy and German dominion. Ker- ensky declares that sharp distinc-

The latter have little or no present sup port, but being in control of muni- tions, railways and such government machinery as still exists. they man. | age to keep the people disunited and | to prevent the formation of real | democratic government.

FACTS AND COMMENT

Both the Teutonie and the allied .wcxlds are wondering what may be .he significance of the recent speech before the reichstag of Dr. von Kuerl- mann, secretary for foreign affairs, in which lse stated that an end of the war could hardly be expected through purely military decisions without re- course to diplomatic negotiations. While hoping fer new and greater successes for the German arms this summer and autumn, he declared that tiA government had never reckoned on a short war. He furthermore said that no responsible man in Germany, not even the kaiser himself, eyer be- lieyed that the dominion Of Europe could be won by this war. Kuehlmann made these statements from the gov ernment bench With the chancellor and vice chancellor sitting beside him, This would appear sufficient proof that the government, which means the military party wanted just these views expressed to the end that the people might face the imposstbili- l. ty of victory. 4 stormy debate fol- lowed in the reichstag, the junkers in- dignant at the admission that the war could not be won by force of arms, and all parties in consternation over the prospect of along war still be- fore them. Having sounded the depths of public opinion the govern ment stands ready to disown Kuehl- mann if necessary and to allow him to slip from public notice at the first op- portunity.
