AMERICANS BEING

Miles of Motor Trucks Loaded WIN
United States Soldier Plough
Through Mud to Scene OF
Battle in Northern France.

Paris.-Al the American troops
have been turned over to the allies
for such use as they see fit to make
of them. american troops may soon
be fighting side by side with their Brit
iSh and French allies in the battle
which is raging in northern France.
1t is enough to say that great ac-
tivity of many sorts is in progress IN
the entire American zone. Miles of
motor trucks. loaded with Americans,
have passed through the towns. some
going in one direction, some In an
other. Through driving rain the
motor trucks plowed their way along
muddy roads, the Americans singing.
Many of the trucks had American
flags fastened to their tail boards.
On other roads mile after mile Of
marching Americans splashed through
the mud. which came over their
ankles. The horses were steaming
from the work they had to do. All the
men are working rs hard rs possible.
1t is not violation of the censorship
to say that probably 100000 or more
American fighting men, fully equipped
and intensively trained in the school
of actual battle conditions, are avail
able ut once to be thrown into places
to strengthen the British and French
lines wherever they threaten to buckle
under the ferocity of the German on
slaughts.

Washington. Food Administrators
Hoover has announced complete sus-
pension of meatless days for period
of thirty days.
Announcing the suspension of the
meatless days, Mr.. Hoover issued the
following statement:
Il am asking the state administra-
tors to suspend the meatess days for
the next thirty days because of IA very
much over normal run to market of
hogs due to supplies held back during
the winter months. Car shortage still
continues and seems likely to 90 on

this temporary and abnormal surplus
to the allies for use when this heavy
killing season has passed.
"On the other hand the larger and
cheaper supplies of potatoes and the
larger supplies of milk, together with
these further relaxed restrictions on
meat, so that some portion is available
each day, should facilitate the enlarged
saving of breadstuffs of which we are
so much deficient in allied needs.
Il am confident that this holiday
VIII not be taken advantage of by the
producers to ask more than a fair price
ana fair profit, and that the packers
and retailers will have sense enough
TO realize that this is not to be n holl-
day of high prices.
Nor should the consumer take tbis
announcement as in any way a depart-

administration breaches. The need of
food on the other side is greater than

Is greater than ever"

STRANGE VARIETIES OF FOOD
PEOPLE of Different Parts Of the Earth
Are Shown to Have Decidedly
Different Tastes.

Strange foods. such as potato flour,
artificial protein cakes, green bone-dust
preparatons, tabloid soups, pudding
powders and other unusual things, have
come into use during the war and their
adoption serves to remind us that much
good food material Is neglected in or
binary use. Only q few people eat
snails; most Of us would starve amidst
plenty of locusts; and the thought of
snakes as food would give those who
call themselves civilized the shudders.
But unusual food. once become ia
millar Is often relished. Colonel
Roosevelt got the best work from his
men on his African expedition by
promising them raw steaks from
slaughtered APPROPRIATENESS. Cap
tain Bartlett, who carried Stefansson
to the arctic water, found raw polar
bear flesh more appetizing than any"
thing he had eaten ut home.
Frenchmen eat snails and dog steaks
cost there more than mutton. Some
arctic tribes prefer to have their fish
decomposed before eating them, and
even then perhaps they smell no worse
than Limburger or Brie cheese. South
Americans eat lizards and mares milk
Is q favorite Russian beverage. Truly,
there Is no accounting for tastes."-

Playinu the Man.

No matter what part he may be
playing In the strenuous game Of life
as 1t is presented today, the brother
hood man, above all others, must play
the man. These are times when the
best that Is in US must be given to
"carry on" and the race run with
steadfastness and a manly purpose.
AS Robert l.. Stevenson SO beautifully
puts 1t: whether we regard life as
line leading to q dead wall-a mere
bags end, as the French say-or
whether we think of 1t as a vestibule
or gymnasium, where we wait our turn
and prepare our facilities for some
more noble destiny; whether we thun-
der In q pulpit or pule In little esthetic
poetry books about Its vanity and brew
ity, whether we look justly for years
Of health and vigor, or are about to
mount into n bath chair, as a step to-
wards the hearse; in each and all OF
these views and situations there Is but
one conclusion possible; that n man
should stop his ears against paraly-
sing terror and run the race that Is
set before him with a single mind"
