the Department of Agriculture had
this matter we'll In hand. Its Stats
ticians had long before figured out the
vast amount of wheat which must be
saved If the country's crop was to
feed the nation and some OF it's COM
merctsl partners abroad. The Labora-
tory OF Plant Chemistry had long ago
tried out the uses of wheat in all Its
aspects in making the eountry's bread.
and it had also experimental widely
in the use OF substitutes to save
heavy proportion of that wheat. Over
year ago DR.. J. A. LeClerc, in
charge of wheat Investigations in this
laboratory, said: zone hundred and
fifty million bushels of wheat a year
would be saved If this country would
use rs per cent substitute in the
making of its bread, and it would be
none the worse Off: in many cases 1t
would be better off,"

whenever fighting was to be done in
the interests of humanity, he was
among the first to volunteer for serv-
ice. When the news of the battle OF
Lexington reached Virginia, Washing
ton at once took the lead in organic
ing a body OF soldiers. In the Virginia
convention he made most eloquent
speech on the rights of the Colonies
and closed by saying, 81 will raise one
thousand men, enlist them at my own
expense and march myself at their
head for the relief of Boston" The
speech aroused tremendous enthu-
siasm and caused its speaker to be one
of the six Virginia delegates appointed
to the first Continental Congress-
which met in September, 1774. and on
June Is, ITS, he was chosen by that
body to take command of the Con-

He made an ideal commander in

experience and to his strict sense Of
justice toward his men and his knowl-

Added to this he knew the character
of his enemies their weak points and

Is no city in the world which eats
more bread and makes less of 1t in
the home than New Orleans" said
Miss Armstrong. THE same condi-
lions prevail all over the State. and
TO the remotest sections go the bread
wagons on which the people depend
for their staff of life. To help the
women of Louisiana to make their
wartime breads was one of the most
important things that has ever been
permitted me to do. The part taken
by the big interests in those lessons
of thrift for the people has also been
most gratifying.
To Miss Armstrong must be given
the credit OF making use OF one Of
the cheap by-products of the South In
the making of the peoples war breads.
She found that in New Orleans what

finest substitutes for wheat, and the
rice polish of Louisiana. recently
placed on the market for this purpose
at the price of IN to 3 cents a pound,
is now used with gratifying result. It
is also to theicredit Of Miss Armstrong
that the brown rice of the South, with
its first hull upon 1t. containing q
beneficial supply of mineral, has been
placed on the market as a cheap and
wholesome addition to the Louisiana
dietary.

PRESIDENTS
: STATEMENT

Industry plays as essential and honor
able role in this great struggle as do our
military ornaments. We all recognize the
truth of this, but we must also see its neces-
sary implications that industry,
doing vital task for the nation, must re-
ceive the support and assistance of the
nation"
Therefore, I solemly urge
all employers engaged in war work to re-
frain after August Ist, 1913, from recruit
ing unskilled labor in any manner except
through this central agency. I urge labor
to respond as Loyalty as heretofore to any
calls issued by this agency for voluntary
enlistment in essential industry. And
ask them both alike to remember that no
sacrifice will have been in win, if we are
able to prove beyond all question that the
highest and best form of efficiency is the
spontaneous cooperation of free people"

1T is possible that the document

false pretenses His abdication was
formerly announced by what was the
German government when he fled into
Holland, so that his condition In that
country was ostensibly the condition
of private person It now appears
that he was really king and German
emperor until Friday last In that case
the hospitality OF Holland has been
abused
1T is also worth noting that the

OF his abdication, it may be asked, did
