Every housewife In Wilmington and
every American Citizen who wants 20
see this war ended as quickly as pos
sible, should go to the High School
auditorium next Monday evening and
hear Senator Everett Colby tell Of what
he saw In France In the past Ave
months, much Of which cannot be
printed. Senator Colby went 70 Frame
TO study food conditions. and what he
has 10 say Is the result OF the careful
study that he put into 10 and the same
efficiency with which he has achieved
a reputation in New Jersey as a poll
tician and In New York as a lawyer.
Mayor Lawson will preside and Mrs,
Charles Lea. Of Pennsylvania, who is
leading the women Of that Slate IN
food saving. win also speak.
Senator Colby went through an air
raid whine visiting London in Decem-
ber, on behalf Of the Food Admins
tration.
The rail came the second nlsht we
were In town." Mr.. Colby said the
other day. AT an early morning hour
: the telephone bell rang in our top
flcor rooms and we were warned to 20
down to a lower floor.
I'VE went to the window and looked
aout. Searchlights were flashing across
the sky. We heard the hum Of motors
and the terrific rattle OF artillery. /
said This Is a big city; there Is no
! chance Of their coming near the hotel,
and went back TO bed. l wasn't brave
IL didn't appreciate the danger. Next
morning we found a shell had burst
not one hundred feet from the hotel!'
Yhe next morning Mr.. Colby, with
qther members OF the commission, WIS.,
Ned the poorer districts OF Londan,
4 where most of the shells fell.
In one house he found flve-yaaP-
old boy wounded, and waiting to be
laken to hospital.
'You can read unti1 your eyes are
blind. you can look at pictures OF hor-
rors until you sicken OF them, hut you
won't know what war is until you see
child wounded" Mr., Colby declared,
snd his voice shook as he said II.
The raid was an incident only IN
Nh Colby's trip. His business In
England and France was TO investigate
thA food situation. He visited Lon
5onSs war kitchens, the farm lands OF
England and France. and later was at
the British, French and American army
camps IN France. He saw how food
Is shipped and how the armies andcivi-.
lians are fed.
I'VE saw 100000 loves OF bread bal-
ing in one group Of ovens when wo |
arrived at q French port" Mr.. Colby |
said. ~We followed that shipment OF /
food right up TO the trenches, and don't
you make any mistake about the trench |
soldiers not being fed to perfection. I
hadn't seen any white bread until we
got TO the trenches. We could not get /
sugar. there was plenty Of 1t IN the
trenches"
His message TO America IS a plea
FOR greater food conservation in order
that the food shipments TO France may
be maintained.

in those parts of the country where the od-fashioned home preservation of pork is still the custom, this practice should be extended at the present time. as 1t will relieve the burden upon the pack ing houses and is economically sound as saving the cost of packing operations and at the same time will provide home sup plies of pork to last over the months or decreased supplies
 The food administration desires to repeat that 1t does not want to give the
 impression that these are times when simplicity and a moderation of liFiag are not critically necessary. but that it 5 sole desire is to secure an adjustment between our different food supplies and meet changing conditions from time to time and to keep the public fully and frankly advised of it's position with tle full confidence and reliance that when ever it becomes necessary renewed ap- peals for saving with the same loyal re sponse as in the past

PUBLIC RESPONSE GOOD

The response of the public to our re- quests for reduced consumption of meat during the past few months has been most gratifying, and this service alone has enabled the government during this period to provide such supplies as trans- portation to the allies permitted. The enlarged supplies are likely to last for two or three months, after which there will be the usual seasonal decrease in the amount of animals coming to mar ket.
 "The administration also suggests that

It, therefore, now seems certain that we have such enlarged sup plies for at least some months to come that we cannot only increase our ex- ports to the allies to the full extent of their transportation facilities, but at the same time can properly increase olr domestic consumption.

FrenChmen Are Pleased but
Are Slow to Shout Victory

By Associated Press
PARIS. Aug. S0:-"The Germans
are no more at Noyon." exclaimed
the newspapers of Paris in triumph
ant heavy type this morning.
Premier Clemenceap's famous
taunt to governments which held
power before he came into control
cannot now be used against him.
While all are exultant and all be-
lieye that the situation for the allies
is more brilliant than ever, yet previ-
GUS experience makes Frenchmen
slow TO shout victory. 1t is realized
that the Germans. although beaten,
are still full OF fight. but they are
undoubtedly in an awkward predica-
mefft.
Operations during the past week
have left their front running north
and south instead OF northwest and
southeast as Il should be to connect
an orderly retreat to the Hindenburg
line. where they hope 20 spend the
winter, keeping the allies on the bar
rem and desolate ground to the west
OF that famous position. The enemy
is now some dozen miles from that
line and the Bapaume-Perrone road
Is being cut Unless he can mark time
for a while on the Tortille river he
will not be able TO hold the Peronne-
Ham road. which is particularly val
liable as II runs along the somme.

WASHINGTON, Aug. S0:-The ban
placed on the use of gasoline on Sun
days for motor vehicles and boats
will apply only to pleasure riding,
Fuel Administrators Garfield an
nounced today. He said reasonable
use of gasoline-dFiven vehicles for
necessary purposes was not intended
to be prohibited.
THE request made by the fuel ad-
ministration," said a statement issued
by the administration, that pleasure
riding be discontinued on Sundays for
supply of gasoline for war needs was
not intended to prohibit reasonable
use of gasoline-driven vehicles as q
means of necessary transportation
where no other means are available
"Mr Garfield believes that the pub
lie will construe the request wisely
and intelligently and gill not use
their automobiles for other than the
most necessary purposes.
'"The intention of the request is
that all mere pleasure riding be elm
mated but that necessary use of the
automobiles be not interfered with.
"Just what Is pleasure riding and
what is necessary use must be deter
mined by the individual, keeping in
mind always that we must have addi-
tional reserves of gasoline SO that
there may be no possibility in delays
in overseas shipments.
"The United States fuel admins
tration will not attempt to tabulate
automobile traffic on Sunday"
While taxicabs were not mentioned
in the statement, 1t was said inform
ally the restrictions would not pre-
vent taxi service for necessary serv-
ices. though there should be no hiring

able what little difference the absence
of the policemen made, except, per-

Traffic proceeded as usual. Drivers
regulated the movement of vehicles
and there was little crowding.
An early morning call was sent oui
by Scotland Yard to the special con-

counter-attacks by the Germans
against Gen. Mangin's army between
the Ailette and the Aisne. but these
were repulsed by the French, who
hold positions east of Paisley, which
is less than two miles northwest Of

south to the Noyon region and thence
east to the Ailette, sector which is
vitality important at present. the en-
emy appears to have checked the
French until he can extricate his
forces from the perilous position in
the salient between the somme and
the Oise.
Progress southeast of Arras would
seem to be the most important fea-
ture of the news from the great bat
tie. Canadians, 1t appears, are slowly
advancing along the Arras-cambria
road and are widening the gap in tho
famous line to which the Germans re-
tired eighteen months ago.
It seems that any great additional
British success in this region may
shatter Germany's hopes of conduct
ing a defensive campaign along this
front to which. 1t is probable, the
Germans are now hastily withdraw-
ing.
