high stakes. That is why have said
that this is the peoples war, not a
statesmen's. Statesmen must follow
the clarified common thought or be
broken.
| take that to be the significance of
the fact that assemblies and associa-
tions of many kinds made up of plain
workday people have demanded, al
most every time they came together,
and are still demanding, that the
leaders of their government declare
to them plainly what it is, exactly
what it is, that they are seeking in
this war, and what they think the
items of the final settlement. should
be. They are not yet satisfied with
what they have been told. They still
seem to fear that they are getting
what they ask for only in statesmen's
terms-only in the terms Of territor-
ial arrangements and divisions of
power, and not in terms of broad-vis-
ioned justice and mercy and peace and
the satisfaction of those deep-seated
longings of oppressed and distracted
men and women and enslaved peoples
that seem to them the only things
worth fighting a war for that ungulfs
the world. Perhaps statesmen have
not always recognized this changed
aspect of the whole world of policy
and action. Perhaps they have not
always spoken in direct reply to the
questions asked because they did not
know how searching those questions
were and what sort of answers they
demanded.
But l, for one, am glad to attempt
the answer again and again, in the
hope that l may make it clearer that
my one thought is to satisfy those
who struggle in the ranks and are,
perhaps, above all others, entitled to
reply whose meaning no one can
have any excuse for misunderstand-
ing, if he understands the language In
which it is spoken or can get some
one to translate it correctly into his
own. And | believe that the lead
ers of the governments with which
we are associated will speak, as they
have occasion, as plainly as / have
| tried to speak. / hope thtat they
will feel free to say whether they
think that | am in any degree mis-
taken inSmy Interpretation of the is
sues involved or in my purpose with
regard to the means by which a sat
isfactory settlement of those issues
may be obtained. Unity of purpose
and of counsel are as imperatively
necessary in this war as was unity in
command in the battlefield; and with
perfect unity of purpose and counsel
will come assurance of complete vic.
tory. 1t can be had in no other way

tralized and silenced only by showing
that every victory of the nations as.

One large manufacturing concern in
Ohio provided gardens for its en-
ployces in 1917, and required them to
spent working the gardens and the
value of the crop grown.
AT the end Of the season the results
showed that the gardeners had rcceiv-

time spent in the gardens.
Another large manufacturing concern
in Illinois plowed up a prize 40 acre
alfalfa field and divided it into garden
plots for the use OF its employees. The

USE MORE POTATOES.

kins, Home Demonstration for
Hamilton County.


Hamilton County.
One-fourth the potato crop of 1917 is
still unused. Potatoes not used be-
fore summer will be wasted
Potatoes save wheat.
Eat two potatoes and one slice of
bread now instead OF two slicesbread
and one potato as you used to do.
By so doing you are giving one Of
our Allies an extra slice of bread.
To be just right potatoes must be
properly cooked, not too little, not
too much. Save time and potatoes
by cooking in skin. Serve potatoes
baked, boiled, creamed, escalloped,
mashed and steamed.
Potatoes in pancakes: Less liquid
is needed when potatoes are used as
potatoes contain great deal of water.
The following are good potato
comb nations:
Potato, barley and graham; potato,
barley and corn; and potato, rye and
corn.
Potato meat loaf:
Use potato instead of crumbs or
rice in meat loaf. A good left over
loaf is made by using equal parts
chopped meat, cooked beans and
potatoes. A few carrots or onions
give added flavor to loaf.
Potato puffs:
Three cups mashed potatoes.
Three eggs.
One-fourth cup milk.
Two teaspoons fat.
One teaspoon salt.
One-forth teaspoon white pepper.
To the mashed potatoes add well
beaten egg yolks, milk, fat, salt and
pepper Keep hot and beat until well
mixed. Fold in stiffly beaten egg
whites. Put into creased baking dish
n hot oven until light or golden
brown color.

Is Hard Matter TO get Americans
Transferred From British Army,
due to Obeying all tic
Army Rules.
AUTHORITIES ARE CAREFUL.
Men Given Discharge Only After En-.
listment in United States Army
is Complete.
BY LOWELL MELLETT.

London, March 8. (By Mail0-
Since America entered the war,
thousands of applications have been
made to U. S. army authorities in
London by Americans in the British
armies for transfer to their own.
CT these thousands just six men have
been transferred.
l learned this today when I pre-
scented the case of Texas news
paperman to the final authority in the
matter. The Texas man had served
three years in the Philippines. When
the present war broke out he was
living comfortably on satisfactory
salary-if there is such thing-and
driving his own Hupmobile. His COM
Portable position was the fruit of
fifteen years or so of steady work and
he thought he wanted a holiday.
Since the war could only last a few
months, it would provide the holiday
and he journeyed to Canada to join.
Recently he was transferred
from France to Mesopotama. Be-
fore going he placed his application
for transfer to the U. S. army and
after arriving somewhere east of
Suaz he wrote me to investigate his
chances. What l found very quickly
was that his chances were none.
you say he's in Mesopotamia p
said the final military authority.
THAT would mean that | should have
to ask the British army to turn him
loose it's all a matter of courtesy
on the British army's part, by the
way--tO come from Mesopotamia on
his simple statement that he was
coming to join the American army.
Granted that your friend really would
do it and find his own expense money
for the trip, you can understand that
what we do for one we have to do for
all. We'd have to do it for thousands,
scattered all over Europe, Asia and
Africa,

Cause DISCRIMINATION.

"The disorganization that would be
entailed would more than offset the
benefit of having the boys back under
their own flag. 1t would work actual
harm to the Allied armies.
80, in just six cases have l asked
the British army to effect the trans
fer. In each of these the decision has
been that it was actually essential.
And to protect every interest con-
cerned the transferred men have not
been given their discharge papers
from the one army until they are
safely enlisted in the other. Each
has come to me in charge of British
orderly carrying the discharge of a
U. s. orderly to the U. S. recruiting
officer. The transferred man got the
British discharge only when he was
formally sworn into the service.
1T isn't question of not trusting
the men, but question of obeying
every rule"
Pleasant news I've got to break to
the man in Mesopotamia.
