On the question Of volunteer enlist

said should be discontinued for the

Baker said the navy opposes prohibit

pointed out. however that the I'LL

No Women Wanted.
Representative Caldwell OF New
York suggested that the army provide
for enlistment OF women to do non
combatant work. as is done by the navy
and Mr.. Baker said so far the army
uses for such service drafted men not
qualified for general military duty
Regarding supplanting Young Off
-ers in on-combatant duty by older
men, Secretary Baker said all young
officers capable OF military duty are
being relieved as far as possible. lie
added that youths in colleges who are
drafted, il retained there Tor training
will be put in uniform.
Returning to the Thomas "work-or-

DROP FAGS TO YANKS

New York.-Showers OF cigarettes
fell from the skies on the American
fighters driving the Germans out of
the st. Mihiel salient. This fact was
announced In cablegram received by
william ]. Mnlligan, chairman of the
knights OF Columbus committee on
war activities, at the United War
Work Campaign headquarters. From
American airplnnes 10000 packages Of
cigarettes were dropped into tine hands
of lnfantrymen and artillerymen press
ing forward In their victorious squeeze
which dislodged the enemy from the
stronghold they had held for more than
three years. Each package was
stamped Compliments of the Knights

London.-To the observer in the
rear cockpit of the fast British bomb

to change from minute to minute. The
engine roared, the sunlight came slant
ing in onto his knees, biting wind
beat on his face, and below was the
slightly hazy surface Of the sea. while
to the right lay the dim line Of the
Belgian coast, which swept away to
the wider silver reaches of the Scheldt
estuary. Ahead of him two British
machines flew in the same direction,
with their propellers seeming to re-
volve lazily. as they always do when
seen from another machine. The OBJ
server continually scanned the air
above and below the machine, and ex-
amined every now and then the sur

restrictions of this sort in the prov
ices would be needless. French peas
ants eat little meat, once or twice a
week at the most, II at all.
The average Englishman consumes
much less meat. England had three
ineatless days a week, applied to res

ginning In the summer of 1917. How
ever, these meatless days were abol-
ished, the order taking effect May II
this year. In place Of the former re-
strictions meat card was issued.
This card entitled the holder to GER
tain amount Of meat, which he may
buy four specified days in the week.
Ergiishmen are consuming about
double the amount of meat eaten by
the same number of Frenchmen at
present.
French frugality in meat Is the
more remarkable as 1t is accompanied
by similar and much more drastic
restriction in the consumption Of
bread. "a Frenchman," according to a

Still France Is In n better position
tran adjacent countries. Meat is very
scarce and costly IN Belgium. In Ant
werp one has to pay 20 francs for n
Lound of meat and 30 francs for
4ound Of bacon. In Meerle, near Ant
.erp. butcher paid 2.625 francs for
n twO-year-old steer. Cows are sold
for 5000 and goats for 600 francs.
Swiss Regulations Strict.
At Val de Travers. Switzerland. two
butchers were found guilty of having
violated the government rule regu-
lating the price Of calves. The butch
.rs were fined 1900 francs each. and
VIII have to pay the cost of the trial.
while Is farmers. to whom the butch
ers had paid more than the maximum
price allowed, were acquitted by the
t,iry.
In the course of proceedings in the
court II was shown that an army Of
ficer of the cOmmissary department in
buying cattle for the army had also
raid more than the maximum price
permitted. Now the states attorney
Is going to prosecute the army officer
for the same offense for which the two
butchers were found guilty.
