 HUN WAR REVIEW

WASHINGTON, D. C., Aug. 30.- Senator George E. Chamberlain, Democrat, of Oregon, has issued an appeal to newspaper publishers of the United States to refrain from giving publicity to the story of the world war written by General Lu~ dendorff, one of the kaiser's chief lieutenants during the great conflict.
 Chamberlain informed his col leagues yesterday that he had is sued the appeal because it had come to his notice that several owners of American newspapers had announced that they would publish the Luden- dorff history.
 The Ludendortf story, Chamber lain says, is in the nature of Ger man propaganda, a defense of Hun warfare, and intended to create sym pathv for the fallen regime. The publication of the story in this coun- try, the senator says, will be hurt ful in it's influence and an insult to AGericanisnn.

MALONE PLEADS FOR CHANCE IN
 TREATY TERMS

WASHINGTON, D. C., Aug. 30.-- Dudley Field Malone, who is repre- senting the people of India as coun- sel in connection with the peace treaty, appeared before the senate committee on foreign relations to- day to advance further arguments in favor of the elimination of cer- tain clauses which, he claims, are unfair to the people of India.
 Malone told the committeeman that if it would break the heart of the world to reject the treaty, as argued by certain members of the ratification of the treaty in it's present form would break the hearts of millions in Ireland, Egypt and India.
 England, he declared. is oppress- ing India now, and conditions will be worse in that country if the treaty is accepted without change.

EGG SUBSTITUTES IN BAD
Mary had a little hen
That acted very queer:
She always laid when eggs were
cheap,
But quit when eggs were dear.

3 James Sorenson, state dairy and
food commissioner, has resorted to
poetry to describe reasons why six
ty three out of sixty seven samples
of eggs substitutes, or "egg savers .
in cooking were found to be illegal
during the war, says The st. Paul
News.
During the past two years, accord
ing to the commissioner, owing doubt
less to opportunities afforded by war
conditions to exploit spurious prod
ucts, cheap substitutes and other
foodstuffs of questionable character,
the markets have been flooded with
a class of preparations designed to
eliminate the use of eggs in cooking.
Thirty two of the samples analiz-
ed" he says, "were artificially coll
ored il such manner as to stimulate
the appearance of beaten whole
eggs"
However, some of the manufactur-
ers whose products were not classed
entirely illegal, declared they are not
intended as substitute for eggs, but
will give pastry IAN eggy look"
