 But for the Russian collapse, Gen. eral Haig intimates. the knockout blow probably would have been launched last year. Russia, he says, not only failed to furnish the help expected but failed to prevent the transfer of forty division of Germans from the eastern to the western front. Tn considering the allied operations in 1917 this very vital fact, which dis arranged the whole plan of the war for the allies cannot be overestimat- ed. Yet in spite of this unexpected re- verse. and it's 'immeasurable effect on the war program, the allies made con- siderable gains on the western front in sixteen great battles, while the on- ly advance of the year registered on the same front by the Germans was the temporary gain made following the British offensive at Cambrai.
 In view of the history of the war of 1917 the allies have no reason to be pessimistic. They are better equipped and better prepared in every respect to wage war in 1918 then the central powers. The U-boat warfare has been checked and American armies are pouring into Europe to fill the gaps in the ranks of the French and Brit ish. The year will call for the exer- else of the full strength of England, France and the United States but this strength, unlike the German, will not be spent in vain.

RESTORE OED RATES
EXCEPT BACK HAULS

Good news for Florida growers of
citrus fruits was brought by c. E.
Stewart, Jr., business manager of the
Florida Citrus Exchange, who yester-
day returned from Washington, where
he had been in conference with Off
cials of the railroad administration.
BY action taken Wednesday the rail-
road administration has set aside the
ruling Of official order No. 2S, which
applied a switching charge Of SIS per
can to each carload of freight switched
insofar as relates to the movement Of
fruit to packing houses in field boxes.
The latter action practically re-
stores the old rates except with re-
gard to back hauls, which arc now
limited to maximum of fifty miles.
The effect Of the original order
would have been to put a prohibitive
charge upon the movement of empty
field boxes to groves and the move
ment of filled boxes back to the pack
ing houses, and would have necessi-
tated abandoning many existing pack
ing houses and the erection Of many
new ones. In view of the seriousness
of the situation officials Of the Flor
ida Citrus Exchange led in presenting
strong protests against the ruling.
Exchange Men Active
Mr.. Stewart and E. D. Dow, traf-
fic manager of the Exchange, together
with Mr.. Tyler, traffic manager OF
Chase and Company, first presented
protests to the district rates commit
tee at Jacksonville two weeks ago.
This committee passed the matter to
the regional committee at Atlanta.
before which Messrs Stewart and
Dow appeared last week and present
ed their arguments.
Mr.. Stewart then followed the mat
ter to Washington, whittier 1t was re-
ferred by the Atlanta committee with
its recommendations On Wednesday
he had the pleasure of receiving noti-
fication that the railroad administra-
ton officially approved the recormen-
dations of the Atlanta committee, and
that the old rates would be restored
with the exception of the provision for
back hauls mentioned.
Just prior to the Atlanta meeting
the Florida Railroad Commission gave
out information that the railroad ad'
ministration had ordered by telegraph
the restoration of the old rates, and
the Exchange representatives felt that
their Atlanta trip had been useless;
but inquiry of railroad men in Atlanta
developed the fact that Washington

ing houses here. An understanding
OF food values most needed to suit
conditions existing In various places
Is being drilled into the students.
Great attention also is given to food
conservation. The army must not
waste and cooks are taught to throw
all particles Of meat and bone into
zO-gallon pot where the mixture is
boiled and the fat rendered. The
stock is then used for gravies and for
soups
Some companies here require the
men to weigh what is left on their
plates and the amount is deducted
from the next meal, thus adjusting
the food needed to their appetites.
The sanitation course requires tho
mess officers to keep kitchen, mess
hall, refrigerators, ovens and cooking
utensils hygienically clean. This ap-
plies to tables and floors. How to set
the tables is an important part of the
study.
