"Ljve-at-Home Program Outlined We are now in a period oI low prices. The purchasing power of the consuming public is low. Money (cash) is scarce and getting out of circulation. A dollar is worth more now than it was a short tmie ago. It is necessary that our farmers produce those things that the public demands most. In period* of depression people will wear old clothes a long time?but they make a desperate effort to eat three times a day. About 13,000,000 mouths demand food three times each day in America. They can't eat cotton but they can eat pork^beef, sheep, poultry, vegetables, potatoes; corn, mo* lapses. It is important that we look out ,for ourseVves?we can't eat cotton ? but we can eat those things listed above. We have a well-developed market for hogs? we will ship in September and March of each year. (Breed ?ow? accordingly.) Now is a good time to keep out of debt, spend very sparingly, save some money?buy less. Make plenty of feed for all of your livestock and increase the livestock. Use more livestock and legumes to increase soil fertility and your income. n Plant more corn if possible. Attend the Farm Meeting at the 4-H <^ub Oamp near Shamokin Friday, June 19th, 5:30 p. m.

CHAPTER XVIII Upon the invitation of General retain I went to the French front to be present at their second offensive since General Nlvelle'a failure in April, arriving by motor at tiie heaihjuartera of General d'Ksperey, commander of the group of armies of the north, on the evening of October 22, 1017. The plana for tlie uttack were explained to us, and from the extreme care taken in working out the detull* and from their accurute knowledge of the enemy'a forcea and hi* poaltlon, there seemed to be little doubt of succe*a, Moon after their victory near Verdun In August the French had begun to prepare for this offensive. In which they could not well afford to full. The advance was made by eight divisions of the Mtxth army on a front of only seven and a half miles axtendlog along the Aiane, with the object of gaining a wore advantageous position for tha winter and also still further building up French morale. Extended Artillery Fire. General Malatre, the army commander, gave the operation bla peraoual attention, prescribing an artillery preparation covering six days, during which the expenditure of ammunition was even greater than In the offensive of August 20. The long period of ar-1 tlllery Are was considered necessary, as the Germans were strongly fortlAed along the chalky bluffs of the Alsue, where numerous caverns afforded cover for lurge garrisons held near the front. The assaulting lines of infantry, accompanied by numerous tanks, succeeded without difficulty In reaching the limited objectives.- Fort Malmulson. the key point,--was reduced to a heap of rubbish by the very heavy , artillery tire concentrated upon it. The capture of'this dominant position by the French otiused the Immediute with- i drawn 1 of the Germans on the right and left, nod during the succeeding fortnight they retired behind the i Ailette. Victory Is Off sat. . This achievement of the French in capturing positions against which the April offensive by Nlrelle dashed Itself to pieces had a very stimulating effect upon their morale, but it would have been more lasting had it not been | followed so soon by the serious de j feat of the Itulinns at Cnporetto Oc- I tot?er 24. After extending thanks to our host we left for Compiegne, literally covered with mud, stopping lliere to congratulate General I'etnln on the success of the day. While at Compiegne we dropped In at the dispensary where some American women under .Miss J<'.lsle Do Wolfe (who afterward became Lady Mendl) maintained a clinic f<?r badly burned gas cases. We also made a brief call at the hospital near hy to see Colonel Hunau-Variia of mmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmrn Hon of new dock* lit Baaaeua, \'i lulled below, where deep water would permit veasel* to couie alongside. Al though considerable quantities pf tint teriui had heeu seut over, this new construction wua delayed principalis becauae of the lack of piling which the eugiueera had planned to have brought from the i'aciiic count. An Incident hap|>ened In connection with the ahlpmentu of piliug front houie tltat would have been umuolug if it hud not been so serious. One ship that readied Bordeaux wus supposed to be loaded vritb especially long piling, but upou inspection the engineers found it much shorter than prescribed Upon Inquiry It was learned that to get the piles in between bulkheads the supercargo had sawed the i ends off. While speaking of forest product* another example of inefllelancy that occurred a little later might be mentioned. On* of the vessel* from home was loaded by the quartermaster'* department with shavings for the cold itorage plant instead of steel billet* for the manufacture of guns when tons of aawdust and shavings could have been obtained from the logging district* in France. Trouble With Rueeians. Continuing the Inspection, we went on Sunday to Comau, about forty miles from Bordeaux, thinking It might possibly # be available for our use later on. It was then occupied by a brigade of disaffected Russians, who, like most of their fellows, hail defied their officers and refused to participate further In the war. After being withdrawn from the line they had given the French so much trouble, even to committing depredations on the people, that they had to be sent out of the zone of the armies to this rather remote cainp, where they were held practically as prisoners. There was no transportation to carry them back to Russia, and ua they had been allowed to keep their arms it was difficult to enforce discipline among them. 1 spoke to two colonels and criticized the lack of sanitation, but It was evident that they ware unable to compel the men to work, even to the extent of cleaning out stables, latrlnea or drains, and the conditions may be better Imagined than described. The men ware a heavy, stupid-looking lot, who, In their new estate, apparently did not care how bgd things were so long as the French continued to feed and clothe them. Prograsa I* Noted. Gievres, which lies 100 miles directly south of l'arls, became the site of our principal supply depot in France Under Col. C. .1. Synimonds' able and energetic direction construction to cover an area of .12 square miles was going forward with all possible speed.

Toward the end of October, accompanied by Genu. Itlcbard N, Blatchford end Mason M. Patrick, and Cola Charles K. Krauthoff and David ii.

After all. considering the lack of men and material, we were making progress on the physical side of the organization that would feed, clothe and furnish munitions for the great army we hoped to have. One obstacle, however, was to he found In the number of Independent bureaus represented at the ports and the larger centers of activity, not only.

CHAPTM XIX Breakfasting wllli tue In Paris November 4, 11)17. the British prim* uloIgjgy, Mr, I.I07(V George, referred to Hie Italian defeat at Capo ret to as being a moat serious disaster, and pointed out that sending Hrltlsh and French divisions t# Italy had materially weakened the lines la France. Mr. Lloyd George also spoke at some length on Hie luck of concerted action among the allied armies. I agreed with lilm and added that In my opinion there never had been real co-operation on the western front between the British and French, that when one was attacking the other was usually standing still, and that the Hermans were thus reft free to vencentrate their reserves against the threatened point. * We were facing u grave crisis next year, if not sooner, suld Mr, Lloyd George, und no one knew how it was to he met. The enemy might attack each one separately, with the sains results as In the case of Italy, lie then asked what I thought of creating a supreme war council. Having in wind councils Called to decide upon military operations In the field, I told him that the advice of war councils whs not usually of any great value and that the proposition did not appeal to me. I said that authority should be vested somewher# to eo-ordtnate the operatlona on the western front, and suggested the possibility of having a supreme commander. Lloyd Qsorgo Favors Council. Mr. Lloyd George replied, In effect, that It was unlikely that th,t allies would agree upon any one. as the French would object to any but a Frenchman and the British might sot like thgt He thought the council would be useful for the purpose primarily of bringing the heads of the allied governments together at Intervals to determine general policies. 1 admitted that afactr an organization might serve to unite the allies In common purpose, but that the conduct of operations by the combined armies should be under military direction. I got the distinct impression that while he was seeking to secure greuter unity of action, he also- sought some moans of controlling the activities of the British army. During previous months that army had been engaged in almost continuous offensive operations, practically single-banded, with very heavy losses and few compensating advantages. _ Mr. Lloyd George went on to say that there was to be a meeting of the prime TTjJnluforu at Ilnnollft Ifnln ? r, A tU a t he hoped they might reach some agreement that would result in a council such as he had in mind. He thought that the United States ought to be represented at this meeting and ainggested that 1 should attend. As the purPMs <*f a council seemed to be more foe political co-ordination than for PUTOly military control, 1 told him that i| seemed beet for me not to participate without some intimation from my government to do so. la the afternoon, at M. Palnleve's request, I called on hiin, and he also told me of the proposal to form a supreme war council and wanted me to ge to the conference in Italy. I gave him the same reply that I had given Mr. Lloyd George. Shortly thereafter the llapallo meeting was held, resulting in an agreement among the prime ministers of the governments participating, Great Britain, France ami Italy. Approved by Wilson. The creation <?f the council did not meet with universal approval, the commanders of the British and French armies and high officials in civil circles being opposed to it. Military commanders were afraid it would result In undue interference with the conduct of operations and in derision it was often referred to us the soviet. The action of the three Governments at Itupallo was approved by President Wilson November 17 and that fact appeared in the press a day or so later. The President * action strengthened the hands of those who favored the council and probaniy became the influence that'saved it. The fact is that if the French and British army commanders, In a friendly spirit of co-operation, had made a Joint study of the military problem of the western front a-, a whole and then ; . had seriously undertaken to pull togethei, as though under one control, the supreme war council would never have been born. -The snprt-tm- wr council made n favorable start and gave the impression that a wise and conservative exercise of its really unlimited powers would characterize its actions, it refrained from interfering directly with military commanders and operations and confined itself largely to questions , of policy, such as the eo-ordlnntiou ?,f allied resources and the conservation and distribution of allied strength. However, as time went on, j,he supreme war council assumed greater and greater authority over militarv questions. Conflict With Wilton tdsai*.

In ttu> conversation the British official declared: "The r.uropean eilies and A are ti"t ttviting for tie s..:ue thing Mr. Wilson thinks a great deal more of his ideas of people governing them solves, of a friendly working arrangement among all the great powers after the war, than he does of territorials or specific things going to this or that country. What he wants Is to smash the German military power and have a society of democratic nations after- j wards. But to England.

"England wants to imiintuln her colonial possessions to keep her position on the sea, and her oommerclal I plsce In the world.
