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."

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

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;

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

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

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. J

Russians Continue Their Offensive
On Large Front
Dispatch, Sunday.
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,

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.
