THE PAGELAND JOURNAL Vol.7 NO. 43 PAGELAND, S. C., WEDNESDAY MORNING, JULY 11, 1917 $1.00 per year ? ? ? Million Women Pledged fo Food Conservation Washington, July 7,? A million American women, it was announced today, have signed pledges to follow the food conservation directions of the tood administrator. All will be en rolled as actual members of food administration and from time to time will be sent instructions on household economics. Within the next three weeks the admin istration hopes to enroll virtually every woman in the United States. The first list of directions were sent out today to be pasted in the kitchens of women who have joined the administration. They follow: "One wheatless meal a dav. Use corn, oatmeal, rye or barlev bread and non-wheat breakfast foods. Order bread 24 hours in advance so your baker will not bake beyond his needs. "Cut the loaf on the table and onlv as re quired. Use stale bread for cooking:, toast, etc. Eat less cake and pastry. ; "Beef, mutton or Pork not more than once daily. Use freely vegetables and fish. At the meat meal serve smaller portions and steak instead of steaks. Make made dishes of all leftovers. Do this and there will be meat enough for every one at a reasonable price. "The children must have milk. Use every drop. Use butter milk and sour milk foi cooking and making cottage cheese. Use less cream. Butter as usual, but not in cooking. Other fats are as good. Reduce use of forced foods. Soap contains fats. Do not waste it. Make your own washing soap at home out of the saved fats. "Sugar is scarcei; we use today three times as much per person as our allies So there may be enough tor all at reasonable prices, use less candy and sweet drinks. "Coal comes from a distance and our railways are overburden ed hauling war material. Help relieve them by burning few&r fires. Use wood when you can get it. "Fruits and vegetables we hflVP in ahnnrlanfo Ao n *- ^ ? * -w uvuuuuuwi 4 10 a nation we eat too little green stuffs. Double their use and im prove your health. Store potatoes and other roots properly and thev will keep. Begin now to can or dry surplus garden products. "Patronize your local producer. Distance means money. Bu> perishable food from the neighborhood nearest you and thus save transportation. "Buy less, serve smaller portions; preach the gospel of the clean plate; don't eat a fourth meal; don't limit the plain food of growing children; watch out for the waste; full garbage pails in America means empty dinner pails in America and Europe; if the more fortunate of our people will avoid waste and eat no more than they need, the high cost of living problem for the less fortune will be solved."

When a man shows a Christian spirit in an arguempnt thing! ?? coming hd / * Germany's Waning Fortunes Who can doubt that the fortunes of Germany are on the wane? The renewal of the fighting: on the east by the Russian Army and the v manifest success attending it, coincident with the arrival of American troops to take part in the tight ing on the west, are in them selves circumstances which are calculated to cause despondency among the German people, but in connection with this must be taken the progressively crush ing defeats which have been inflprtpH hv ttlP Rritich nrtA IIIV liioil (1UU French in recent weeks. The official reports now made public show that from the middle of April to the fast of June the Allies on the west front have taken over 63,000 prisoners, among whom more than a thousand officers are included, together with an enormous equipment of war material, in. eluding 2,330 cannon, trench motors and machine guns. An Armv must be invested with a little more than human strength and courage to be able to long resist such onslaughts as these captures would indicate the Germans have been subjected to. To this is to be added the vast number ot German soldiers killed in battle since the war began. The figures were made up in March, last, and in these are not included the casualties just enumerated. The German loss in killed amounts to the high total of 1,500,000. ''Attrition,' so much talked about in early days of the war, must now be ranaking itself on the German 1 Army. Those who have been standing Dy tneir calculations for the war to, be a thing of the past by or during 1918, are, in the opinion of The Observer, standing on firm ground. The ring of steel which has surround ed Germany since her dash through Belgium was stopped early in the war, has become much more restricted and is being drawn closer day by day with an acceleration movement. It is now a question of German ability to delav the process. Her Government is one of ad' mittedlv ^reat resources, but it is a poor military student who may weigh the events of the past few weeks with all the accumulating odds against Ger many and not be able to figure out the beginning of the end. Its coming may be starved off longer than there is now reason to anticipate, while on the other hand its development may be of a more precipitate nature than could at this time be considered possible.?Charlotte Observer. Monroe Citizen Killed By Train Monroe, July 7.?Charley Laney was killed earlv this morning at Lafayette, Ind., by a railroad train, the particulars of this tragic death not being communicated to his many prominent relatives in this county and Mecklenburg. Mr. Lanev was nearly sixty years of age and was a brother to Henry, Frank and Clarence Lanev, of this city. He married Miss Bessie Parks, of Charlotte, and she preceded him to the grave many years ago. An only daughter, Miss Isabelle Laney, survives. She resides in Char lotte with her grandparents. Mr* Laney was a graduate of Trinitv and was a bright and useful man, well qualified, and had innumerable friends. His remains will reach here tomorrow night and funeral will be held and interment vyjU bo in Monroe cemetery. . - m <r Registered^ Men Advised ' to J1 Hold Selves in Readiness Washington, July 8.?Another!1 step in building up the sel&ctjve conscription army was taken today with the distribution of a cir- , cular by Provost Marshal General Crowder notifying the registered ' men to hold themselves in readi-. ness for appearance before the board which will conduct exami; V/ < ?> . nations and consider exemption?. , How or when the government will select the men to-be examined is not detailed in the ciicular, but it i? revealed thdt registration cards in each county or city jurisdiction are to be numbered with red ink and thpt "as soon as the drawing to complete, lists showing the order it) ,( which these red ink numbers are drawn will be publisned ip the press and will be posted at the office of each local board^' it already has been announced! that the selection will take plaf^ in Washington, and the general presumption has been some mivice similar to a iurv wheel \&1 be employed. Exemptions to be determined by the lo$al boards, the circular shows, only for previous announced specified causes, such as the responsibility for support of relatives and not for agricultural or industrial reasons. Seven days after des ignations are posted will be allowed for filing claims. Then there will be an additional allowance of ten days for filing proofs, and the board must .decide within three days after4he proof is filed. ? When the case of anvf fcis trar has been disposed c3f so ar as the local boardia>coflce*n*d the names <5f those not exempt or discharged will be posted. Claims for exemption for indus trial or agricultural work must be made within five days after such posting, and must go direct to the higher board sitting for the judicial district. Appeals s for the rulings of local board 1~ .1 ? aiusi uc iiuiuc iu me uigiier board within ten days. The circular does not cover the summoning of the men for actual seivice, pointing out that selection and acceptance does not mean an immediate summons. Even the time of the drawing is not specified, but issuance of the circular is taken to ^nean that the work of selection may be in progress within a few days. September 1 has been tentatively considered as the date for as sembling the first half million I men in cantonments for train ' ing. __ Submarine Reported Sighted Off Chesepeake Bay Fortress Monroe, Va., July 5.? Hampton Roads was given a real submarine scare tonight by a report brought to the com j mandant of Fortress Monroe that two incoming vessels had sighted a periscope in Chesapeake bay five miles off the fort. Immediate precautions were taken and late tonight naval ves 1 sels still were scouring the low- J er bay seeking an enemy. Merchant vessels about to sail were held back and the Washington and Baltimore steamers ' were escorted from the roads 1 and part of the way by the bay ' by warships. Col, Foote, com- ' mandant of the fort, would not ' comment upon the rumor be ( yond saying that while the re 1 ports might not prove to be well ' founded, no chances would be ' taken.

General Brussiloff is pushing his offensive on the Russian front with energy and rapidlv extending its scope. He has be gun an attack in the region ol Pinsk, 150 miles north of Galicia within which the forward move ment had previously been con< fined, and is attacking with sue cess in the region northwest ol Stanislau, southeast of Lemberg, * At Pinsk, semi official ad vices announce the German de fenses as yielding to the Russiar fire. The town itself is reportec in flames. The Galician campaign it nfleeting with a vigorous Austro German defense, and adm?ttedl> the Russians have been held ui in renewed attempts to advance in the Koniuchy region. The sweeping claim of Berlin of e ^jgnal victory against the Rus stans. however, conflicts sharply with the Russian announcement! of substantial gains in severa sectors. ? , The big guns are roaring all along the line on the Franco Belgian front. Infantry move inents developed in Belgium where a sharp thrust by the Brit ish carried their line forwarc slightly in the neighborhood o Wytschaete. Senate Favor# Bone Dry Pro t ? - - tiibition Washington, July 7.?The senate went on record today ir favor of "bone dry" nationa prohibition during the war sc far as whiske>r and other dis tilled beverages are concerned Eiquor legislation was written into the food control bill in one of the senate's bitterest contests which would stake at consunp tion of distilled intoxicants b> commandeering stock in bone in addition to absolutely prohib iting their manufacture or im portation, Ttie beer and wine industries would be left undis turbed. In lieu of the section of the house bill to prohibit the manu facture of foodstuffs into beverages of any description, the senate substituted, by a vote ol 45 to 37, a provision prohibit ing manufacture and importa tion of distilled beverages during the war, and added, 65 to 12, CI flirtlior />ln??OiA ,1 - ? ? ~ A *?? 41 auiiuvi v.i ausu UllL'LllIl^ lilt president to take over all distilled spirits in government bonded warehouses and pav foi it on the basis of cost plus 1C per cent. While ;he final prohibition legislation will be evolved in conference between the two houses it is generally regarded as probable that the house will accept the senate's change after a fight in behalf of its original section. Kaiser's Agents Not Wanted Here Washington, Julv 7.?All Germans formerly connected either with the embassy or any one of the many consulates in America have been requested to leave the United States. Notification that their presence in America is undesirable has been sent to them by the state department. They were not told that they suspected of being spies, but the inference was that their loyalty to the kaiser might make it difficult for them to remain in this country without attempting to send information of a military character to their government.
