will not conceal what that answer involves. There are two essential conditions for using our great re- sources to the full.
 First. More perfect coordination of effort by all the allies. Second, maintenance within the borders of each allied nation of unity of spirit and purpose, suppression of domestic discord, and the concentration of all efforts on one supreme object national salvation."
 The Allies, he declared, were fight ing for their lives and the existence of the free nations of western E7u- rope until peace negotiations are reached. He said there was too much talk about war aims and President Wilson and Premier Lloyd George had made clear the desires of the AL lies. Germany was not being fought to deprive her of independence or q fair share of the worlds intercourse always provided that the same inde- pendence, self determination and right to a place in the sun is secured to all other nations, including the small and the weak, who up to this time have been the victims of Ger man aggression"

Buying Food Ahead.
( New Haven Register. )

Now comes Mrs. Terhune with ''It, is Q wise housewife who buys from day tc day" Such statements are ir-, eEplica ble. The housewife who buys from day to day, who has no reserve stores to fall back upon is invariably forced to pay high prices, the highest of the year. The woman who put up iIer preserves last summer in the calming season, who made her ketsup, who procured bushels of potatoes turnips and onions, now holds the whip hand over the high cost of liv- ing. Today she who would buy from day to day" will pay double what these vegetables cost last summer.
 The habit If buying food iii large quantities. isn't an old-fashioned heresy@' by any manner of means in New England, and it never will be. Tt is neither out Of fashion nor Is it hereticaI here We call it thrift, pro- vision for the future-the practice of the doctrine which the war savings stamp campaign is trying to put into the minds of the Am erican people and it is exactly iE line with the ad vice Of MT. Hoover, which advice, be it remembered, is followed by thou sands and thousands of housewives.

POLITICAL PARTIES
 JOIN FOR BOND SALE
Democrats and Republicans Forget Lines to Guarantee Success of
 Next Loan in Indiana

Indianapolis, Ind, Feb. 22.-The democratic and republican parties in Indiana joined hands today officially to assure the success of the next Liberty Loan in the state.
 Charles A. Greenhouse, state chair man of the democratic party, and member of the Federal-Ad-to-St States Vocational Education commission, en- tered into an agreement with Will $. Hays, state and national repubii- can chairman, and former chairman of the State Council of Defense, by which the active working organiza- tions of the two great parties in In- diana will meet in Indianapolis on March and take direct and active steps toward cooperating in the sale of Liberty Loan bonds Governor Goodrich met with the two political chairmen, and he, with the chairmen, will sign a general invita- tion to the members of the two party organiza- tions in Indiana to attend the meet ing.
 MT. Greenhouse and MT. Hays were to issue the official call this afternoon for the assembling of the two state committees. It is said to be the first time the political parties have so united. Officials of both organiza- tions expressed themselves as being proud that "the Hoosier state-the home of the politics of the nation has been the first to amalgamate it's political parties for the war in such a manner"

PRESCRIbES
 BULLETS FOR SPIES
But "Whispering Traitors" Are
 Worst Peril, He Says

Chicago, Feb. 22.-"Whispering Americas most insidious enemies by ex-President Taft, who addressed the Congress of National Service here yesterday. He urged the short shrift of a firing squad" for spies, incendiaries, bomb troopers, and munition tamperers. His most em- phatic warning, however, was against the 'Whisperers', who are sowing se dition and pro-German propaganda behind a barrage of Ssh sh -sh-s.'
 ''WhisDcring traitors,' said MT. Taft, have been the centers through out the country of discontent. In lit tie communities you will find that the presence of two or three who have suggested reasons why we ought not to have gone into the war, why we did wrong to Germany in this, why we did wrong to her in that she should have kept us out of the war, and that has a paralyzing effect upon the enthusiasm of our people. It takes the fine edge off patriotism among whom these suggestions are rendered to.
 The time is coming when all these little centers of discontent when we may meet disaster, when this devilish malignity of the Germans shall make them suggest a trap for fools among us, by which an inconclusive. peace is to be brought about--that we shall have to call on the strength and

GIVEN CUSTODY OF CHILD
Thrift Stamp Campaign Progressing r. Boys to Chop Wood for Red @ Guard Depleted.

Tn the superior court yesterday, Julia Efwood Marston of Berlin was granted a divorce from her husband &Arthur Marston of Hartford. The Echarge entered against Marston by Rhis. wife was that he is a. habitual drunkard. Marston was formerly *rectifier in Hartford, and always &drank m oderately. About three years 8ago, he began to drink heavily, and 5 lost in the fray with "John Barley 6corn," it is claimed. Because of his Ndrinking, his former wife testified, he was discharged from various posi- @tiops which he held from time to #time. She also stated on the witness &stand that at one time, when he came home under the influence of & liquor, he fired 8 revolver at her. In & an attempt to rid him of this habit, she had him taken to a private san N atorium in Stamford, where he un- #derwent a couse of treatment for 8that purpose. This attempt was a failure, and she was obliged to sepa- Erate from him last summer. The #mother was given legal custody of a Hten year old child born of the mar kriage. The former Mrs Marston is Ia we'll known resident of Berlin, and #was married to Marston January 27, $a 907, at Astoria, Long Island.

BATTLE AT NOGALES
American Troops and MexicanS
Have Serious Clash.
Several Yankees Are Killed and In.
vaders Are Driven of With
Heavy Loss.

Nogales, Ariz., Aug. 29.-An agree
4nent by which further trouble would
be avoided was expected to result
from conferences between American
and Mexican officials who are sum-
moned here following fighting at the
international line, between American
soldiers and Mexicans in which 3
Americans were killed and 20 wound
ed. The Mexican casualties in the
fighting are variously estimated at
frem $50 to 200.
Brigadier General DeRosey Cabell,
commander of the Arizona military
district, hastened here from his head
quarters at Douglas as soon as word
of the trouble reached him and General
p. Elias Gales, military governor of
Sonora, Mexico, was reported en- route
from Hermosillo, the state capital, by
special train.
Three Americans Dead.
A revised list of the casualties suf-
fered by the Americans shows that one
officer and two enlisted men were
killed and % soldiers and civilians
wounded. Three OF the wounded are
reported seriously hurt
The, American officer hurt was Cap
tain Joseph ID. Hungerford, who com.
manded troop of negro cavalry.
Among the Mexicans killed was
Felix Penaloza, mayor of Nogales
Sonora, the American town opposite
here.
Mexican Refused Pass.
Investigation has developed that the
fighting started when Mexican who
had been passed across the line by the
Mexican customs guards was halted by
an American immigration officer. The
American, it was said, drew his pistol
but did not fire. The Mexicans, 1t was
asserted, opened fire at once, and i'm
mediately the shooting became gen
eral.

Announces New Food Regulations
Will Be Effective on
September l.
WHEATLEss DAYS END
Nations Fighting Central Powers WIN
All Eat Bread Made From 80
Per Cent Flour and 20 Per
Cent Substitutes.

Washington, Aug. 29. - Regulations
announced by Food Administrator
Hoover provide universal war bread
for all the nations arrayed against the
Central powers, under which wheat
flour restrictions in the United States
are relaxed, and the Allies given bread
containing more wheat than they have
had since the early days of the war.
The regulations are effective Sept.
l, and wheatless days and wheatless
meals will be discontinued on that
date.
Under an international bread policy
formulated by the inter-allied food
council in London, all bread made
after Sept for France, England,
Italy, the United States and the other
Allies, will be made of mixed -four
containing so per cent wheat -four and
20 per cent substitute cereals.
Conflicting Orders Rescinded.
All present baking regulations in
conflict with the new plan are re-
scinded, including the half and half
regulations controlling flour sales to
householders, and that permitting
bakers to use only 20 per cent of their
normal supply of wheat -four.
All rationing of bread among the AL
lied nations will be discontinued and
plenty of the new Victory bread" is
assured the civil populations at time
when the wheat situation in Germany
and Austria is anything but promis-
ing.
Ready mixed flour in the proportions
allowed by the food administration, i'm
accordance with its milling standards,
will be available for purchase by
householders, although this is not
compulsory. They are urged, how
ever, to buy the ready-mixed Victory
flour, but where pure wheat -four is
purchased the regulations require re-
tailers to sell 20 per cent of substi-
tutes at the same time to each pur.
chaser.
Rely on Househoiders.
The food administration relies on
householders voluntarily to mix their
bread in the same 1920 proportion re-
quired of bakers.
All so-calied Victory fiours" may
be sold without substitutes, the regula-
tions provide, but at no greater price
from the miller. wholesalers or re-
taller than in the case of standard
wheat -four.
Whole wheat, or graham, -four may
be used without substitute, but 1t must
contain at least 95 per cent of the
wheat berry.

nous Vote in the
Upper House.
MAKES FEW CHANGES
Attempts to Alter Age Limits or
Direct Separate Classification of
Youths Under 21 Years
Prove Unavaiiino.

Washington, Aug. 29.-The Senate
passed the manpower bill bringing
within the army draft all men from
Is to 45 years old with a modified

There were rs affirmative votes.
The Senate was recorded unani-
mously for the bill. Senator Gore of

ence for serious controversy except
the work or fight provision.

tors who attended the session to wit

the provisions of the measure are ex-
pected to insure the registrations of all
men within the ages of Is and 81 and
81 and As within a week or ten days
after the President attaches his sigma
ture.
The Senate adopted practically all of
the principal provisions of the bill, ad-
vocated by the Administration, includ-
ing that giving the President authority
to establish orders of call for service
of the men effected President Wilson
is expected to follow the plans of the
War department, which according to
testimony before the Senate and House
military committees by General
March, chief of staff, and General
Crowder, provide for the calling OF

classes have been summoned and the
educating of such boys while in train
ing and prior to their being sent over
