British Defense Brilliant.
It is now possible to toll OF . spec
tacular feature OF a brilliant British
defense last week below the Somme.
It is the story OF little army COM
posed largely of assortments Of troops
which were hastily assembled in a
great crisis and which successfully
held vital stretch Of the front against
furious German onslaughts until rein
forcements could arrive. In this gal
liant force were included American
railway engineers, who. as in the battle
their tools and took up arms in defense
of the allied colors.
1t was last Thursday afternoon at a
critical moment when it was absolutely
thrown into the British line to hold the
onrush of Germsns. Reinforcements
were on the way. but could not arrive
IN time. There was no time to lose and

that these defenders. brave unto death

Enemy Advance Fails.
The enemy advanced in force and
hurled themselves time and time again

TO WIN VICTORY.

It is a mistake to look upon War Savings
Stamps as small change cleaners intended only
toraise few of the innumerable millions needed
to finance the great undertaking to which we
are committed says Arthur M. Howe, of the
Brooklyn Daily Eagle. We do not measure the
value of these investment mediums by the
amount of money so obtained. We measure it
rather by the universal nature of the appeal
which the stamps make, an appeal that brings
the message and the meaning of the war to every
individual of thinking age in the United States.
Those who regard the sale of War Savings
Stamps as a side enterprise or as something that
appeals mainly to children totally miss the pur-
pose behind the plan, which is one of the best
thus far evolved for war purposes. In the last
analysis the selling of these stamps is the fitting
of the whole nation to sustain the burden of the
war. II is the application to war finance of the
principle of universal service 1t aims to enlist
all of the American people in direct support of
that gallant minority among them who have an
swered the call to arms and prepared themselves
for the firing line.
This war will be won by steady, persistent en-
deavor rather than by spurts and spasmodic ex-
ertion. We have the great and admirable out
bursts of effort in Liberty Loan campaigns and
later we shall witness sudden and tremendous
efforts in battle. But we rely upon something
else the handspring of our war enterprise.
That something else is the steady and sustained
expenditure of national energy at all times and
under all conditions. That alone makes decisive
victory possible in battle. The buying of War
Savings Stamps, Systematically and continu-
ously, corresponds to the work done in the
trenches and behind the lines when there is
nothing of Importance to report

TO TEACH CANNING.

With the opening of the canning center IN
Pensacola, conservation in this county has re-
ceived a tremendous impetus. This movement
is in line with the work which is being accom-
plished throughout the country. More than one
thousand persons will teach the latest canning
methods in the south this summer.
Floridians will be interested in the following
statement recently made by Miss Agnes Ellen
Harris, former state home demonstration agent
for Florida, and now home demonstration agent
for the United States relation service, south,
United States Department of Agriculture:
There are now 1000 home demonstration
agents in the fifteen southern states, LOT of
whom are colored. This number is daily increas-
ing and millions of women are coming under
their instruction. BY June we hope to have
either as a paid worker or as volunteer every
home economics teacher and every home eco
nomics graduate, who is available, to assist the
home demonstration agents.
Community canneries are being established
throughout the entire SOUTH Women are taught
to dry fruit and vegetables. They are taught
how to prepare fruits and vegetables for can
ming, then in the canning season they can bring
their materials to the canning center and do the
work there.
"The Department of Agriculture has sent to
Baltimore a model equipment for canning and
drying It will be installed in the office of the gas
company, and all summer canning and drying in
struction will be given under the supervision of
the Urban home demonstration agents.

CAN SEA FOOD.

'Can sea food at the seashore," is the advice
of FFranz P. Lund, specialist in canning and
drying, of the United States Department of
Agriculture.
last year women took home with them hun
dreds of cans of sea food, which they had canned
by means of the steam-pressure method said
Mr.. Lund. s'This year it is more necessary
than ever that while the women are at the sea-
shore they make vacation time not wasted.
Many hours which might be idle can be devoted
to canning fish,
81 going down into FFlorida to demon
strate that fish which were thought worthless
a few years ago be utilized. With the cooper
alton of the Bureau of Fisheries we have proved
that fish that were supposed to be worthless as
food can be prepared in most palatable man.
ner. For instance, shark, tarpon, and smaller
varieties of whales, such as the porpoise, are
good food when prepared right.
"In Texas we have taught the use of the arm
adlo, which resembles the meat of the young
pig. The gizzard shad thought worthless
because it had SO many bones. By steaming
til the bones soft and then canning with
spices it is converted into delicious product"

PROJECTS FOR HOUSING LABOR.

The United States Shipping Board has an
nounced that seven large projects for housing
shipyard labor have been decided upon. These
will be at Hog Island, Newport News, Camden.
N. J., Chester, Pa, Bristol, Pa, Sparrows Point,
Wilmington, N. c., and Baltimore, and altogether
will cost about s1oOOO.o00.
Perhaps the most extensive will be near Cam
den, N j., where contracts have already been
let for GOT houses, mostly of brick, at an aver
age cost of 5000 each. Between 100000
and Sc, 800 900 will be expended on this project,
which is coated in Haddon township. The city of
Camden, with which the town will be in
corporated, has undertaken to construct schools
fire stations, sewage and water works; estimated
cost. S325,00 About the same amount will be
spent by the shipping board in Fairgrounds,
parks and other modern city improvements. The
government will also undertake the construction
of street car line extensions at cost of $125 0OO
Shipworkers will be given opportunity to buy
their homes with the condition that two years
after peace is declared there may be reappraise-
ment, and if the value of the property has de-
creased, the final payment may be made at the
later value.

NO PRIVILEGES.

Special provision" says an announcement by
the war department, ''is made by which objeetors
who are held to be sincere in their attitudes may
be furloughed without pay from the government
for agricultural service. These men must agree
not to accept for their labor greater sum than
the pay of private plus subsistence.
Among some of the DIRECTORS impression
prevails that they may in the near future be
discharged from military service and relieved
from responsibility to the government as re-
suit of their attitude. Such is not the fact, and
under no circumstances will this action be taken
in the case of men otherwise competent to per-
form military service.
Their rights of individual conscience will be
respected, but in justice to the soldiers who are
willing and anxious to risk their lives in defence
of the rihgt, refusing to perform any
vice whatever under the provisions of the selec-
tive service act cannot expect to avoid the re-
sponsibility for an attitude which is shared by
only an extremely small proportion of their
fellow countrymen, much less expect to receive
any privileges not accorded to others
