Million Women Pledged fo Food
Conservation
Washington, July 7.? A mil
lion American women, it wa;
announced today, have signed
pledges to follow the food con
servation directions of the tood
administrator. All will be en
rolled as actual members of food
administration and from time tc
time will be sent instructions or
household economics. Within
the next three weeks the admin
istration hopes to enroll virtual
ly every woman in the United
States.
The first list of direction*
were sent out today to be pasted
in the kitchens of women whc
have joined the administration
They tollow:
"One wheatless meal a dav
Use corn, oatmeal, rye or barle\
bread and non-wheat breakfasi
foods. Order bread 24 hours iri
advance so your baker will noi
bake beyond ins needs. Cut the
loaf on the table and onlv as re
quired. Use stale bread foi
cooking, toast, etc. Eat less
cake and pastry.
"Beef, mutton or Pork noi
more than once daily. Use free
ly vegetables and fish. At the
meat meal serve smaller portion!
and steak instead of steaks
Make made dishes of all left
overs. Do this and there will bi
meat enough for every one at i
reasonable price.
"The children must have milk
Use every drop. Use butter
milk and sour milk foi cookinj
and making cottage cheese
Use less cream. Butter as usual
but not in cooking. Other fat
are as good. Reduce use o
forced foods. Soap contain
fats. Do not waste it, Mak<
your own washing soap at hom<
out of the saved fats.
"Sugar is scarcer; we use to
dav three times as much per per
son as our allies. So there ma:
be enough tor all at reasonabh
prices, use less candy and swee
drinks.
"Coal comes from a distance
and our railvvavs are overburden
ed hauling war material. Hell
relieve them by burning few?
fires. Use wood when Mou cat
get it.
"Fruits and vegetables \v<
have in abundance. As a na
tion we eat too little greer
stuffs. Double their use and ira
prove your health. Store pota
toes and other roots properh
and thev will keep. Begin no\>
to can or dry surplus garder
products.
"Patronize your local pro
ducer. Distance means money
Bu> perishable food from tin
neighborhood nearest you and
thus save transportation.
"Buy less, serve smaller por
tions; preach the gospel of tin.
clean plate; don't eat a fourth
meal; don't limit the plain food
of growing children; watch oul
for the waste; full garbage pails
in America means empty dinnei
pails in America and Europe; it
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."

I Germany's Waning Fortunes
Who can doubt that the for
tunes of Germany are on the
; wane? The renewal of the
fighting on the east by the Rus[
sian Army and the v manifest
success attending it, coincident
1 with the arrival of American
* troops to take part in the light
1 ing on the west, are in them
1 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
' inflected by the British and
French in recent weeks. The
official reports now made pub
lie show that from the middle of
April to the last of June the
1 Allies on the west front have
1 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
1 Armv must be invested with a
little more than human strength
J and courage to be able to long
4 resist such onslaughts as these
captures would indicate the Germans
have been subjected to
-To this is to be added the vast
1 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
s total of 1,500,000. ''Attrition,'
so much talked about in early
s days of the war. must now be
~ making itself on the German
2 Army. Those who have been
standing by their calculations for
the war to.be a thing of the
past by or during 1918, are, in
' the opinion of The Observer,
J standing on firm ground. The
1 ring of steel which has surround
ed Germany since her dash
through Belgium was stopped
early in fhe war, has become
' much more restricted and is ber
ing drawn closer day by day
1 ?.:.K i -
vviui an acceleration movement.
It is now a question of German
2 ability to delay the process.
Her Government is one of ad1
mittedly great resources, but it
is a poor military student who
may weigh the events of the
past few weeks with all the ac'
cumulating odds against Ger1
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 '.I n t t/M r??l f o lirhiln

favor of "bone dry" national

mans formerly connected either
with the embassy or any one of

]; have been requested to leave the
J United States. Notification that
s! their presence in America is tins
desirable has been sent to them
( I by the state department. They

of being spies, but the inference
was that their loyalty to
