FOOD VALUE OF FISH SHOWN.
Extensive Use is Recommended by De
partment of Agriculture.

Further evidence that fish deserves q
place in every diet, was obtained from a
recent series of digestion experiments
in the United States department of agri-
culture. These tests furnished scientific
proof that fish, which has always been
reckoned as valuable food, is very com
pletely utilized in the boy.
In the experiments Boston mackerel,
butterfish salmon and grayfisha vari-
ETY. not generally used in this country
were made into "fish loaves" and served
as basis of a simple mixed diet to
young men of healthy appetites.
Both the protein and the fat of the
fish were well utilized. Following are
the percentages of protein digested: Bos-
ton mackerel, 93.l per cent; butterfish,
0l.9 per cent; gTayfish, 92.s per cent;
and salmon, 932 per cent. The percent
ages of fat digested were found to be:
Boston mackerel, 95-2 per cent; butter
fish, s6.4 per cent; grayfsh, 94.3 per
cent; salmon, 937 per cent.
In addition TO the fish loaf. the diet
included potatoes, crackers, fruit. sugar.
and tea or coffee. On the average the
subjects each day ate 440 grams Of Bos-
ton mackerel, 37l grams of butterfsh.
40 grams Of grayfish. or 355 grams of
salmon, indicating that in every case the
fish was eaten with relish. The expert
ments are described in detail in depart
ment bulletin 649. Experiments on the

DAIRY MARKET
SYSTEM WASTEFUL
Mr.. Hoover Advocates a Complete Reor-
ganization Of Redistribution
Methods.

New York, May 23.-The greatest hu'
man defamation In Europe has not been
wrought by German bullets but by star
vation and its attendant disease in the
districts oyerrun by the German military
power, declared Food Administrator
Hoover in an address TO the National
Dairy league here to-day Pointing out
the service which the dairymen OF the
nation 'are morally drafted TO fulfill"
he said he was convinced that "if the
war were to cease tomorrow the toll Of
actual dead from starvation and its at
tendsnt disease, would double or triple
the five million or six million killed by
Germany and her allies"
Calling upon the dairymen to do their
part, Mr.. Hoover said:
"lt is worse than folly to put 100000
of our boys in France, If the civil popu-
lation of our allies is not also TO be main
tanned in strength and morale with our
food"
North America" Mr. Hoover contin-
ued, Stands unequalled in one great par
ticuar. We are independent of sea trans
port of feeding stuifs for our animals.
We grow them side by side This is one
reason why we can and must be the
great final reservoir of supplies
In order that people of the allied pow
ers, whose dairy herds have been dimin
ished by lack of feeding stuffs and 9th
ers, may be provided with slender milk
and fat ration by the United States, Mr..
Hoover explained il would be necessary
for the dairymen of this country, not
only to maintain the herds. but to build
ip stocks in warehouses in seasons Of
surplus production. He said dairy prod |
icts in storage at present, was not a
,suse for alarm and legislation, but |
hould be source OF satisfaction
Mr. Hoover declared the present mar
yet system in dairy products is inherent
v wasteful and expensive system"
To solve the problem, Mr. Hoover ad
'ocated a complete reorganization OF re-
distribution methods, intimating that in
tiles and towns where there are several
companies, these concerns
hould be combined.

Washington, May 23.--In statement
inserted in the House record yesterday
Representative Caldwell of New York, a
member of the military committee, de-
clared that during the first ten days of

abroad and said that after the expira-
tion of one year from the arrival of the
first shipment of troops from this coun-
try, the United States would have one
million men in France, equipped with the
necessary arms and supplies.
When request was made for small
expeditionary force from this country,
critics of the administration, Mr. Cald-
well said, declared it would be impossi-
Bile to ship from 10000 to 100000 men
in the first year of the war.

irish DIVISION"
Proposed as Probable Plan After Volun.
tary Recruiting in Ireland.

London, May 23.--Part of the plan for
voluntary recruiting in Ireland, the Dub.
lin correspondent Of the Daily News says
he learns, probably will involve the com
plete reversal of an old war Office policy.
This will mean the adoption of immedi,
ate steps to form homogeneous Irish bri-
gades or Irish divisions In which all rea-
sonable measures will be taken by the
use of Irish emblems and the observance
of Irish customs to foster the idea of a
distinct nationality within the empire.
The correspondent. however, predicts
that nationalist civilians will give luke
warm support to the plan.

Wounded Men in Large
Numbers Victims of Ger
man Frightfulness
AS HOSPITALS
WERE ATTACKED
A Captain of Raiders, Cap
tured, Coolly Criticized the
Choice of Hospital Sites

With the British Army in France, Ma,
23.-( by Associated Press German
airmen again have bombed hcavil,
British hospitals in the area behind th'
lines and this time have killed anC
wounded some hundreds among the per
sonnel and patients of many different
hospitals in the group.
Recorded in the casualty list are the
names of several sisters who with other
women nurses stood bravely by their
posts throughout terrific deluge of ex.
plosions.
There is, In the neigbborhood, one large
American hospital and another in which
there are American workers, but neither
of these appears to have suffered. Last
summer a number of American doctors
and nurses were killed and wounded
when these same hospitals were raided
by the Germans.
This latest horror vas perpetrated
Sunday night, apparently by four squad
rons OF enemy planes which appear to
have comprised more than score of ma
chimes. A great number of bombs were
dropped, about thirty per cent Of them
huge affairs which dug eraters in the
hospital grounds, and the rest high ex-
plosive shrapnel which sent their death
dealing bullets tearing in every direction
through the crowded hospital tents and
buildings.
A three seated airplane was brought
down by gunfre whila flying at a low
altitude and the occupants were made
prisoners. The enemy captain and the
pilot sustained comparatively light
shrapne wounds while the observer was
not hurt. When questioned why he had
directed his men against hospitals, the
captain explained in a matter-of-f fact
way that he didn't see the Red Cross
signs He said he was seeking military
obiectives and had no desire to molest |
hospitals.
With a shrug Of his shoulders, the Ger
man captain added that if the British |
chose to build their hospitals near rail
ways they must expect to get them
bombed.
The captain spoke excellent English.
Asked where he had learned it, he re-
,led he had been in diplomatic service
,efore the war.
Sunday nights raid was divided into
wo phases. the first of which began
hortly after 10 o'clock and lasted until
! o'clock. Not satisfied with this the
nemy returned at ll:40 o'clock and
eavi1y bombed hospitals filled with
wounded men.
In one building, which was damaged
1cst seriously, all the patients were suf
ering from compound fractures, which
lade necessary their limbs being
trapped in the air.
One sister was killed outright while
he was administering to a soldiers 5

hat she died shortly afterward. Still /
mother was dying to-day. a
Several more sisters were among the l

ounded, including several medical Off /

Man Power in France.

One difficulty, of a psychological sort
which the allies have encountered, was
| illustrated in the recent statement oi
Premier Clemenceau in regard to the
American army in France. Although the
French have the utmost goodwill for
Americans, he deemed il expedient to
put a little emphasis on the fact that
the great number of specialists and work
ers of all kinds brought over would be
working for our army and would not be
taking jobs away from Frenchmen. In
ancient Sparta men preferred fighting to
working, and kept helots to till the fields.
In the modern world there is little of
this aristocratic contempt for work, and
on the other hand no class is debarred
from the honorable career of soldier.
Even in countries the least military
when the war began there has been no
lack of courage for fighting or of the
spirit of sacrifice.
But in all countries the bringing in of
foreign labor to replace men called to
colors has been regarded asksnce; work
ers quite willing to 90 to the front have
feared risking their lives less than risk
ing their Jobs. Thus with an unlimited
reservoir of labor power kept open 10
them by control of the sea, the allies
have not been able to use these resources
TO the full; the single front" is vastly
more difficult to realize in economics
than in military affairs. No country and
no class shirks its fair share OF the fight.
ing. vet in every country the people
would welcome the contribution Of sol
diers by an ally more than the oontrihu-
ton Of workers. This has been = handi-
cap 20 efficiency. but under the existing
system il has been inevitable.
To distribute the man-power OF the al
'ses. including the orient. in the wav
which would produce the maximum eco
homie power has been an impossibility

their military obligations, and upon the
termination of the war may return here

they had no part.
when this struggle is completed, how
ever, such men on seeking admission TO
the United States will find that it will
be necessary for them to stand trial on

will be vigorously prosecuted and the
maximum penalty provided by the act
will be urged upon conviction.
"The passage of time will not prevent
the bringing of prosecutions. Such non

return for military service or become
permanent ex-patriotis with all future

them. The government at no time here
