is Released From Prison
Camp.
BY FRANK J. TAYLOR.

With the American Army Advancing
Toward the Rhine, Nov. 25.-Strass-
burg. of the lost province of Alsace-
Lorraine became wholly French when
its capital was entered yesterday by
the Americans.
There is evidence that the Germans
have taken American prisoners to the
rear to fatten them up before releasing
them. They are charged against Ger
many In their present emaciated condi-
ton. The Yankees have all labored in
the mines for months.
Eugene Scrogie of Des MOines. an
aviator, wounded and taken prisoner,
was released from the Karlsruhe pri-
son camp for a day that he might act
as plenipotentiary for his captors to
arrange the exchange of prisoners
across the Rhine, instead of through
Switzerland. The plans are develop
ing. Scrogie returned to his BOche
guard awaiting him at the bridge to
keep his patrol.

TORS MEET

Des Moines, Iowa. Nov. 2.h-County
food administrators are in session here
today with J. +. Deems, United States
food administrator in Iowa.
The food dictators are making plans
for postwar food regulations.
Deems is known to stand squarely
behind Herbert Hoover, national dicta-
tor, in the matter of further conscrva-
tion to enable the United States to con-
tinue feeding her allies and also her
former enemies if need be.
Deems said that Hoover's trip to
Europe will do much toward setting
the food situation Alright His reported
intention of going to Germany for
several weeks to get first hand infor-
nation on the situation there will,
Deems thinks. keep the United States
from shipping food there. unless 1t is
absolutely needed.

GERMAN TROOPS
RETIRE IN GOOD
HuMoR, SINGING

Washington, d. c., Nov. 2J.-Ger-
man troops are retiring in orderly
fashion and good humor before the
American army in Luxemburg, the
committee on public information stated
this afternoon.
The troops are preparing to push
ahead and despite defeat, the Teuton
troops are apparently in good humor.
The retiring army is leaving little
ma terial behind and the troops are
singing as they withdraw. The general
expression is that while they have
been beaten they have not been de-
m0ralized.
There is little indication of disorder
and food appears to be plentiful among
the German soldiers.

LONG ROWS OF
TREES TO HON.
OR SOLDIERS?

Washington, Nov. 25.-A nation.
wide movement has been started by the
American Forestry association for the
planting of memorial trees for the sol
dier dead.
Charles Lathrop Pack, president of
the association, has written to every
governor, asking cooperation. The plan
is to have each state plant memorial
trees along the great transcontinental
motor highways.
=. s. Ridsdale, secretary of the as
sociation, says many towns and cities
have taken up the idea and the General
Federation of Women's Clubs is con-
sidering similar plan for the Lincoln
highway to be carried out by the state
organizations.
Nothing could DC more appropriate,
says Mr.. Pack, than to have each state
through which motor highway passes
plant victory oaks or victory elms' or
other trees, for her soldiers who have
died in battle. The motor has played
a mighty part in winning the war.
Wood has played great part in
victory, too, Out. stocks must be re-
plenished. With each state cooperat-
ing with the highway authorities, a
living age long lesson could be taught
the coming generations as to the value
and beauty of forestry"

CORNCOBS MAY
YIELD CONNER
CIAL PRODUCT

New York, Now Utilization. of
corn cobs for commercial purposes is
one of the possibilities of peace time
industry being investigated by CONNER
cial men here.
Adhesive gum, cellulOse, glucose and
alcohol are among the products al
ready obtained from cobs in expert
ments. Chemists of the United States
department of agriculture consider the
commercial possibilities opened up by
the experiments as very promising.
Corn CORDS constitute an enormous
item of waste in the great corn states
of the United States. They are used in
many western towns and rural COM
munities as fuel. To some extent they
are ground with the corn for cattle
feed. But mostly they rot in great
piles, or are burned to get them out of
the way.
Glucose extracted from corn cObs is
of excellent quality, chemists find. 1t
crystallizes readily, and is believed to
be fully as good for commercial pur-
poses as the glucose now made from
starch.
Glucose is widely used in commerce
and industry,
For extraction of alcohol from corn
robs, sulphuric acid is used. Pratica-
bility of the feature of corn cob utili-
zation, therefore, would depend upon
the cost Of the acid.

THE LADIES' AUXILIARY OF
THE TALMUD TORAH.
By Anna Goldblum.

by Anna Goldblum.
When the Auxiliary to the Mime
apolis Talmud Torah was formed, it
was for the primary purpose of rails
ing funds for the maintenance of the
building. But as we have grown in
years, our work has grown in scope
and variety.
For the last two or three seasons
we have been conducting dancing
classes at the Talmud Torah with
the ultimate idea of keeping our
boys and girls in an environment
that was conducive not only to
clean-mindedness, but also to Jew
ishness. Sewing lessons for little
girls have been conducted for sever
al seasons under our auspices, where
little girl could learn to darn,
mend, and make little articles of
apparel. On Chanuka these little
children are given party and enter
tainment to keep them interested.
The Y. w. H. A. has conducted
summer camp for two seasons, pro-
viding a kosher diet, so that all
Jewish girls may enroll 1t is
sponsored by the Ladies' Auxiliary.
A committee from the Ladies'
Auxiliary helped to entertain about
four hundred Jewish boys from Fort
Smelling at a banquet given at the
Kenesseth Israel Synagogue early
last fall.
The Committee waited upon the
Chief of Police to urge better
lighted district on Sixth Avenue
North, and that the Curfew Ordi-
nance be enforced more strictly.
In no other part of the city is the
desire to learn so earnest as among
the children in the Talmud Torah
district. AS a result committee of
our ladies presented petition with
sixteen hundred signatures to the
Library Board, asking for an addi-
ton to the Sumner Branch Library.
We have received the promise that
as soon as the labor question for
the government is solved, our petit
ton will be granted.
From time to time, we have free
movies for all the "kiddies" in our
district as we'll as other school dis
tricts. On all such occasions we
