fields Of France, can be returned
to the United States, premission
must be granted by the French
government, is the information
received by Colonel w. G. Fleisch-
haucr. in charge of the local re.
cruiting Office of the army, from
the adjutant generals office at
Washington.
The attitude Of the French gov
ernment is against the removal of
the remains Of the dead heroes
and a proposed law is under con-
sideration by the French Parlia-
ment, which, if passed, would pro-
hibit such removal for a period Of
three years from January l, 1919.
Pending the enactment of the pro-
posed law, says a circular letter
sent to Colopel Feischhauer. the
matter is being regulated by min
Iisterial action Of the French gov
eminent along the same lines as
the proposed law itself.
Y lrre are approximately 4,5O0,
'00U Bodies inferred in France as
d result of the war. According to
the information received from
Washington, the French govern
ment feels it cannot consistently
extend to the American govern
ment greater privileges in this re-
spect than it accords to its own
people.
The Washington authorities give
the following as some Of the rea-
sons why France may be opposed
to the removal Of the bodies Of
the soldiers.
France was a nation in mourn
ing for the four years Of the war.

Large Force Of Men Puts
Grounds In Condition for

Week.

Preparation OF the Ak-Sar- Ben
aerial landing at Sixty-third and
Center streets, is being rushed in
anticipation Of the arrival of the
giant Lawson transcontinenal air
liner. A larger force of men was
put to work yesterday as the great

Harley G. Conant and ]. E.

cording to information received at
the Chamber of Commerce the
plan left Washington late Thursday
for Dayton, O. From there it is to
fly to Cleveland, then Chicago and

That the plane will arrive in

AN UNDEFILED HERITAGE

Father in heaven, who lowest all,
Oh, help thy children when they call
That they may build from age to age
An undefiled heritage.
Teach US to rule ourselves always,
Controlled and cieanly night and day;
That we may bring, If need arise.
No MANNED or worthless sacrifice.
Teach us to look. in all our ends,
On thee for Judge. and not our friends:
That we with thee may walk uncowed
BY fear or favor of the crowd.
Teach us the strength that cannot seek
BY deed or thought to hurt the weak;
That, under thee. we may possess
Mans strength to comfort mans distress.
Teach US delight in simple things,
And mirth that has no bitter springs;
Forgiveness free of evil done.
And love to all men meath the sun.

65 Per Cent of Fires of
Country Are Declared Due
to Preventabie Causes

The losses by fire in the United
States and Canada during the year
1917, as complied from the records
of the Journal of Commerce and Com
mercial Bulletin, aggregate $267, 273,-
800, the heaviest of any year in the
history Of the country except 1905,
when the great San Francisco con-
flagration swelled the total to $780,
710,OO9. The 1917 record is nearly
$36,000.000 in excess of the previous
years figures and over $84,O0O,OO0
larger than the fire losses of 1915.
The world war was contributing
factor in 1917s unusual record. In
some instaRces where the heaviest
war munition losses occurred there
was little or no insurance against fire
carried, and the underwriters, there
fore, made lucky escape. The nota-
Bile munition plant losses included the
Canadian Car and Foundry's plant at
Kingsland, N. J., involving a loss of
S12,000.000; the Dupont Powder plant
at Haskell, N. j., causing $500, 600
loss; the munitiOn plant OF the Union
Switch and Signal company at Pitts
burgh, causing a loss of $4.200,000,
and the Washburn Wire works at New
York city, with loss of 81, 100000.

United States and Canada during the
past 40 years, from 1878 to 1917, In
elusive, reaches the appalling total of
So, 480, 267, $50, showing an annual av-
erage property destruction Of $780,

those who make a study of fire loss
causes that fully s. per cent of the
fires Of this country are due to pre-
yentable causes. On this basis Of cal
culation the preventable fire losses OF
the country during the past 40 years

American Housewives Profit
From the Lessons in Thrift
As Taught by French Chefs

The French chef the acknowledged
world leader of the art of the cuisine,
is the product of country that sur
passes all others in the practice of
thrift.
But the necessity of keeping her
food budget within strict limits in
spite of war prices has led many an
American housewife to discover for
herself some of the secrets of the
French chef in making inexpensive
and formerly neglected food into deli
cacies fit for king.
Especially has this been so In the
preparation Of meat for our American
tables. The following are some of the
secrets Of the French chef that the
American housewife has discovered
for herself.
Flank steak, which costs much less
than top sirloin or round steak, makes
an excellent roast. 1t can also be pot
roasted or used as chop steak.
Chuck or round steak costs much
less than porterhouse or sirloin. These
cuts should be cooked by moist heat
or made tender by mechanical means,
as in hamburger"
Beef neck is juicy and well favored.
1t makes good pot roast and the
very best stews and soups.
The cross rib makes an excellent pot
roast and there is no waste.
Shin of beef makes good "beef a
la mode" Cut it up as for stew;
brown pieces in hot fat; then add wa
ter; cook in pot the same as pot
roast, and serve with gravy.
Shin of beef makes a most nourish-
ing soup and the meat can be taken
from the pot afterward and served
with horseradlsh sauce.
If you buy rib roast of beef,
have your butcher cut the rib end off
so that you can use it for making
soup. If it is left on and roasted with
the rest of the meat it is largely
wasted.
For corned beef, the flank piece, the
navel piece and the brisket piece cost
the least. These cuts are palatable and
the leftover portions can be made into
a delicious hash.

Chinese Also Have "Kicks"
On the Telephone Service

China is learning fast. Where a
few years ago the telephone would be
considered an invention of the devil
now listen to this wall from native
business man to a Tientsin paper:
"Can we hope for any Improvement
in the long-distancc telephone situa-
ton? A few days ago called up
Picking about 3 p. M, and was inform
ed that there were 60 calls ahead Of
me, and that there were only three
trunk lines in operation. / finally got
the call about 10 p. m. Surely the
Chinese administration can put up an
other trunk line and make this one
time fine service of use again to bust
ness men. The Picking Iong-distance
service Is almost as bad as similar
services in Japan"

Toasted Potatoes Regarded
Good Substitute for Bread
Skins Add to the Flavor

The United States this year, it APP
pears, will have to feed practically
all of Europe. Every suggestion for
conservation of food and variation in
preparation is welcome and an arti-
Gle in Good Housekeeping has special
value in this connection. To quote:
at is plainly patriotic duty to use
potatoes as a bread substitute. The
nearest approach to conventional meth
DDS of cooking potatoes for a bread
substitute is, of course, a~perfectly
baked potato, but a perfectly baked
potato is rare as day in June.
I@Even a perfectly baked potato
served at the psychological moment
does not give that subtle sense of
bread function that the piece of bread
Or toast, held in hand affords.
"Prepare good-sized potatoes as If
to bake, being more scrupulOusly care
full than usual to scrub and cleanse
the skin carefully and remove all bad
spots. Cut the perfectly cleansed POI
tato lengthwise into slices one-fourth
of an inch thick. Put the slices loose
ly into wire basket or steamer and
steam until they are properly tenn
pered'-that is, until they are in part
but not completely cooked. If they are
completely cooked by the steam, they
are of no particular value as bread
substitute. AS rule, about ten min
utes' steaming is adequate. After this
initial steaming, dry the slices well
between clean towels and toast as you
would slices of bread, or put them in
a wire basket or perforated pan and
bake in very hot oven until the slices
are delicately Drowned on both sides.
Sprinkle lightly with salt. Serve as
you would toast. The skins can be re-
moved before serving or while eat
ing, but If one is a connoisseur, a real
disciple of Epicurus, with as much love
of flavor and conservation as boy or
animal, he win eat the toasted slices
