Urge Eating Of Oysters.

The oyster production of the United
States is greater than that of all other
countries combined, and there is avail
able in this resource a vast quantity Of
animal food which should be utilized
to the utmost at this time.
Federal and state inspection are now
given to the sanitary condition of the
beds and the handling of oysters, and
the producers are cooperating to as
sure the purity of the product.
Particular attention is called to not
only the harmlessness but the excel
lence of "green-gilled" oysters. The
gray-green color characteristic of this
condition Is never found Oh the body
of the oyster, but is confined to the.
gills, brought into view when the edge
of the oyster "crimps" in cooking. 1t
is derived from a vegetable cOlOring
matter in some of the delicate micro
scOpic plants on which the shellfish
feeds. Green-gilled oysters in France
are regarded as the best obtainable.-

third of the heatless Mondays in New
York. continued and accentuated the
seriousness of the city's coal shortage.
Fuel administrators estimated that the
metropolis has only one days supply of
coal ahead. BY singular coincidence,
the administrators pointed out, every
one of the heatless Mondays in this
city was marked by unusually severe
weather, which virtually nullified the
effects of coal conservation
Distribution of the first allotment of
coal tickets, issued as AN emergency
measure by the mayors committee of
women for national defense, was made
in many sections of the city. These
tickets serve as priority orders for 100
pounds Of coal each, and dealers who
decline to honor them are subject to
immediate arrest.

1t was discovered that the Germans
intended to carry out SILENT raid.
Fifteen minutes before the time set
all the American guns concentrated
their ire where, according 10 the in
formation, the enemy was massed. 1t
is believed many casualties were in
flicted on the Germans.
There has been a general increase
in the artillery activity for the last
day or so all along the American front.
The Germans are still unable to occu-
by the t1rst-line trenches which were
caved in by the American artillery fire.
Ihey now have constructed another

The Germans are using gas shells
freely, and endeavOred to envelop one
of our battery positions with gas, but
without success. They have dropped
number of shells in the roads behind
the American lines.
Two men were reported wounded by
shells.
The visibility remains bad.
Fuller reports from the first line

One man who was carried to a field
dressing station returned to his COM

been attended to, and remained on
duty until the firing ceased and the
danger was over. All the men later
went to hospital for full treatment.

been sending over a considerable num-
Der of gas shells.

the crews of the two transports on

Mr.. Miller said that during the last ten
months three times as many subma-

PLANS TO RUSH U. S. TROOPS
Chairman Hurley Called to White
House on Transport Needs
Long Cabinet Meeting.

Washington, Feb. 6.-Hindenburg's
latest boast that he would be in Paris
by April has left official Washington
undisturbed and a trifie amused.
President Wilson took further steps
to upset the calculations of linden
burg. The German general staff is
stalking everything on the expectation
that the most telling blows of the
mailed fist" can be struck before the
United States can play any apprecia-
BILE part.
The cabinet meeting, one of the most
protracted in weeks, is understood to
have been devoted almost entirely to
the problem of rushing troops and sup
plies to France.
When the cabinet adjourned Chair
man Hurley of the shipping board
went to the White House. No state
ment was forthcoming after the con-
ference.
1t is understood the advisability of
curtailing imports to divert more
shipping to the transport service was
discussed.
