FRANCE IS STILL STRONG. Well Abie to Hear Her Part in War. News for Americans. Washington. Aug. 4.?France is stronger today in fighting men and war material than at an> time during ^ thewar, despite three > ears of terrific combat of which the greatest share among the allies has fallen to the French armies. This is the cheering message to the American people given tonight by Andre Tardieu. high commissioner of France in the Fnited States, in a formal communication to Secretary Bak-j er setting forth a detailed statement of what the devotion of the French j people has made possible. Tx ? ~ ~ (. urinino- fioil VJc O C tn XL UUIU 111 C> JUUIIUU^ vo HU vw | the men, guns and money they have contributed to the war. It breathesi the spirit of confidence and high courage that still animates the nation. It asserts without hesitation that the United Slates is to aid in striking the last blow at the foe. "Such is the situation." says M. Tardieu in conclusion. "Severe was the ordeal; stronger in the national emergency. ,, "Xow it is a question of striking the last blow to the adversary. You will help lis. "But at the moment when American soldiers arrive in France, it is proper to let them know what they will find, to receive them, in a country which today* as well as during the past three years bears the principal exertion of our dreadful foe; a country which maintains, to the maximum of her power, without hesitation and without weakness, her strength, her means and her will." 4 Compliment to Fiance. Secretary Baker pays high compli ment to the spirit or France in his brief reply. American officers are unanimous, he says, ni their praise of the splendid courage and military efficiency of the French people. "Now that America has begun to contribute soldiers and matrials to this war," says the secretary, "it will .be well for our'people to have the story you have told, in order that we may realize that our army is going to share the imperishable glory which belongs to the soldiers of France and her allies who have fought so long and with such increasing spirit and determination in tlie cause of liberN tv." M. Tardieu says in ?is statement that today there are nearly 3,000,000 French troops in the zone of the armies alone, exclusive of those in the . zones of the interior and the colonies. That is a million more men than were used to stem the German floodtide at the Marne and the greatest number France has ever mustered in the fighting zone. The commissioner adds that the force can be maintained "for a long time to come. He shows that French "definite casualties" in killed and prisoners have dropped from 4.41 per cent, of all mobilized forces at the battle of the Marne, to 1.2S per cent, during the last six months of 1916: that France is holding 57" kilometers of the 739 kilometers on the Western front and that her troops in June this year were facing 81 of the 123 German divisions concentrated on that line. Lots of Guns Too. As to guns, the commissioner J shows that French armies had an ample supply of the famous 75s from the first and that her 300 heavy guns in August, 1014, had increased to 6.000 in June, 1917, giving one heavy gun for every 26 meters of the French offensive fronts this year. Including all field and trench suns, he says, there is a gun for every eight meters in the sector attack. To feed the 75s, the daily output nf sbpiu has risen from 13,000 in j 1914 to a quarter of a million today, and 100.000 projectiles for the heavy guns are supplied each day in addition. During the last offensive a total weight of projectiles averaging 1,442 kilograms (about 1 1-2 tons) was hurled into every lineal meter of the German trenches assaulted and 12,000,000 shells of all calibres were expended by French guns. In addition to all this, France completely reequipped and rearmed the Belgium, Servian and Greek armies and furnished SOo heavy guns to her allies. On the financial side, the tables show that France has expended 82,647,000,000 francs (nearly $10.000.-1 000,000) since the war began. During the war she received from foreign countries 6.000.000.000 francs and loaned to several of her allies 4.000,0oO.o '?o franes. He Was Kioht. She?What. oh. what.

London, August 4.?David Lloyd I George, the British premier, in the ! presence of a distinguished gathering representatives of all parties which met this afternoon in Queen's Hall to mark the third anniversa\*of the declaration of war, reiterated the aims for which the entente allies were fighting and indicated the only conditions under which they would con-j | sent to a suspension of hostilities with jthe central powers, j The premier in opening his address asked what would have happened if Great Britain had not entered the war. He answerd this question by saying: "Europe would have been at j tlie mercy of a cruel military power. ' ? - i- A t i j France would nave iougm uiavei> I but might have been overwhelmed. America's Monroe doctrine would have been treated as a scrap of paper. The fact today is that we have checked the ambitious of Germany." In the course of his speech Premier Lloyd George said: "Victory must be so complete that our national liberty never again shall be challenged. "Russia learned that an army without .discipline is a rabble. "There are some here who want to set up committees for the British army and direct the conduct of the war. We cannot allow a sectional organization to direct the war or to dictate the terms of peace. The nation as a whole made war and the nation as a whole must make peace." The British prime minister said he did not trust the German peace talk. "Neither the kaiser nor the chancellor." he declared, "has not said he would be satisfied with German soil. They talk glibly about peace but stammer over the word restoration. Before we have a peace conference they must learn to use the word restoration. Sc far they have not learned even the first letter of the alphabet. "War is a ghastly busings, but it is not^so bad as their peace. While "" " ? ^ *** L ? ^ i?r 1 nrl KI1U*> UiClI piut liao uuovai i icu this time the Prussian war lords have determined to succeed the next time. "There must be 110 next time. This generation must eliminate war from the tragedies of human life." Continuing, Mr. Lloyd George said: "If we sow seeds of discontent and disunion in the nation we shall reap defeat. A nation which falters before it reaches its purpose will never become a great people. "No one in Great Britain, France. Italy and Russia or even in Germany and Austria has any idea how near we are today to the summit of our hope." The meeting was held under the auspices of the national war aims committee and was probably the ereatpst nntriotip demonstration of the year. The Marquis of Crewe, leader of the Liberal party in the house of lords, was chosen to preside. He was supported by the Archbishop of Canterbury, 20 members of the government and 100 members of parliament. Baron Sonnino, the Italian foreign minister, and Xikola Pachita, the Servian premier, were invited guests. As Minister Sonnino and the other representatives of the entente allies reached the platform the gathering rose and cheered again and again while the playing of the national anthems of the allies aroused tremendous enthusiasm. Premier Lloyd George's appearance was the signal for a remarkable manifestation of popular fervor. Fair Warning.

Changes in Food. Besieged Paries learned to eat horse flesh under stress of necessity, and the present steadily lessening supply of old staples has suggested that the world may ere long be forced to make important changes in its food habits. As new sources of flesh, whales, sharks, and reindeer have! been mentioned. Exhibits of possi- j ble foods have been prepared by the! American Museum of Natural His-! tory, and include periwinkles and mussels, already prized as food in some parts of the world, as well as devil fishes, skates, and snakes, which have been shown to very palatable when prejudice is overcome. Among the vegetable products shown are dulse, which lias long been prized in Scotland and Iceland, and other seaweeds. The many plants introduced by the department of agriculture give promise 01' adding materially to the supply 01 vegetables and fruits in fche I'nited States, and tlie Trinidad dasheen. with ",<! pel- cent, more protein, starch and sugar than the potato, is now a developing crop in the South.
