SERIOUS FOOD SAVING DUE

An American recently returned
from England expresses himself as
shocked at our food waste and indul-
gence. He found in some quarters an
unfounded impression that Americans
were being asked to deny themselves
In order that the English could have
all they desired.
In the first place, he says, we In the
United States are not denying our
selves. We haven't learned what self
denial In food consumption is.
And in regard to our allies, the Eng
lish are not only not In a position to
consume or even purchase food at
their own pleasure, but they are fac
ing an actual and dire scarcity of Ger.
tain essentials.
After living on ration card basis
this American is shocked by the size
Of the portions served in American
restaurants and the Indifference OF
the consumer who leaves edible por.
tions on his plate.
England is eating war bread. Sugar
is doled out to hotel residents In drug.

Housekeepers are restricted similarly
and from the small allotments grant
ed for family use they must save out
little by little what they are going to
use for jam-making. Pastry. Ice
cream. candy are unobtainable.
Americans are not asked to eat less
food than they need for proper nour

THE SENTENCED CRIMINAL

The German advance in the first
few days of this last drive has re.
minded many people OF the early
weeks of the war; But Germany,
however strong she appears at the
business end of her military battering
ram, is not the Germany Of four years
ago. This great lunge forward is not
inspired by confidence. 1t is an act
Of frenzy and desperation. Premier
Clemenceau's newspaper, "L' Home
Libre," put the matter plainly:
Germany is In a hurry to finish the
war, and she awaits like a criminal
the sentence Of death or life from the
supreme judge.
"The allies are this supreme judge,
and they will hold until the arrival OF
the American army"
The criminal is merely tugging al
his chains and beating his head
against the bars. Don't be deceived
by the uproar he makes. The bars
may bend, but they will not break
The time of judgment is probably
nearer than we think. And inevitably
the criminal will pay the penalty.

THE TWO kAlsERs' NEW PLOT

That new treaty of alliance between
Germany and Austria is an incredible
document AS published In the

tutes "a close military alliance for 20
years, during which both parties OF
the alliance pledge themselves to en-
ploy the entire strength Of their peo-
pies for military purposes" And the
parties" be II noted, are merely
Kaiser Wilhelm and Kaiser Karl.
1t is expressly provided that the
two kaisers shall devote all their
care to have their armies enter into
an eventual future conflict fully pre-.
pared and at maximum Of their
strength" because only thus the fu-
ture war shall be of brief duration"
Both nations are to be organized on
an absolute military basis. All able.
bodied males are to receive thorough
military instruction, and all the rest
are to be organized for auxiliary ser.

STARS FOR THE FALLEN

President Wilson's approval insures
the general adoption of the mourning
token suggested by the women's COM
mittee of the Council of National De.
tense. There will be no conventional
mourning of the ordinary sort. In
stead, there will be simple black
band three inches wide worn on the
left sleeve, and bearing gilt star for
each member Of the family who has
given his life for the nation.
The emblem is, strictly speaking,
not mourning sign at all The black
is indeed suggestive of grief, but Its
ordinary effect is cancelled by the
star.
There is "a special fitness In that
star. 1t has already been universally
accepted as a sign of conservation In
this war. We show blue stars for the
men who have gone to the front. Nov
we shall show golden stars for those
who will not return.
They will show forth the pride ant
hope that are In the wearer's heart
and will suggest the glory that such {
death surely brings to the fallen fight
er.
There need be no excuse for no
wearing this honorable badge. Th'
women's committee explains that be
cause OF its simplicity 1t can easil!
be made at home out of whatever ma
terial Is available. The stars may b.
