IaAUDS AMERICAN
 RECKLESS VALOR

London, July 26.-Comparing the work of the French and American troops in the battle now going on, the Reuter- correspondent at American headquarters writes:
 '"The French have had four years of hard study and the lesson. most laid to heart Is the value to, France of live Frenchmen and dead Germans: When sacrifices are required they are quite ready to make them, but their pride Is to kill and pay little for kill ing. They admire the reckless valor of the Americans, but their own methods are somewhat slower and subtle. Each gets to his objective, but the French leave fewer men be- hind.''

In addition, an undetermined quan

The announcement of this program
indicated that the fourth Liberty loan
will be for at least S6,O00,0OO0OO.
The sale of certificates under the
plan in effect during the past year

ARMY DIET CAUSES AN
AVERAGE GAIN OF 3 LBS

That the average gain in weight
throughout the army is pounds per
soldier. is the message which, Major
John R. Murlin, of the food division
of the surgeon generals office, Wash
iington, D. c., sends to the mothers
and wives. This division is concern
ing itself with all the phases OF the
proper feeding of the army, from the
scientific standpoint of nutrition dur
ing the "muscling-up" period to the
special diets for patients in the hos
pitals.
With regard to the meat allowance
OF II pounds per man in the American
army, which is higher than the al
lowance of the British, French and
Italian armies, Major Murlin reports
Meat stimulates heat production IN
the body more than any other food
stuff. Therefore, it assists in keeping
the body warm in cold weather,
There is some evidence that for quick
delivery of maximum energy such as
nav be necessary in getting over the
top, a high protein diet is necessary
We certainly desire that the Ameri-
can soldier shall have plenty OF
"runch" to his fight If high pro-
tein diet will insure this punch, no
body, | am sure will begrudge him all
the meat he feels like eating.
Besides the garrison ration" he
saws, "the American army has three
other rations. The reserve ration
consists of hardtack or bread bacon
sugar. coffee. salt, and pepper. The
travel ration contains soft or hard
bread, canned corn beef or corn-bee!

probation Of Italian money in foreign

the government of the National Tnstl-
tute of Exchange early this year Tor

Italy's allies hclp her by arbitrarily
fixing the rate of exchange, as II is
claimed was done with France.
As Italy must import large quaint

only high current prices but 81 80 Of
her money for every dollar of mater
ial she buys, 1t is pointed out that she
is CARRYING more than her share Of
the war burden
Since the establishment of the con-
troll by the government of the ex-
change. the price dollar brings in
Italy has increased from $40 lire to
900; lire being par value existing
before the war.
The government also forbade buy.
ing outside of Italy Of drygoods and
like articles by private companies,
and since then the price of all such
necessities in Italy has increased far
beyond the proportions of the ex-
change. A yard of wool cloth that
sold year ago for 20 lire Is now
priced at 60 or more lire If /. may
be had at any price The price of
food produced in Italy has also in
creased to meet these advances. Veg
ctables are almost as dear as meat,
and meat that sold year ago for 3
