WAN WHO FIRED SHOT IN NIGHT HELD FOR TRIAL Joseph Greisinger Under $4,000 i >: Bonds—Woman in the Case Cooperstown, N. D., July 30.—dJo- i seph Greisinger, charged with enter- ing the home of Freeman Curtis while the later slept the night of July 3 and with firing a bullet into Curtis’ head from a revolver held within a few inches of his forehead, was bound over to district court in the sum of $4,000 after a preliminary hearing in police court here. ‘Curtis is unmarried and he has as housekeeper Mrs. Inga ‘Robbins, for- merly employed by Greisinger, who| was a frequent visitor at the Curtis home. The day following the shoot- ing Greisinger’s hat was found in Cur-} ti’s home and a trail was discovered leading toward the Greisinger place. Greisinger then was under bond on a charge of assaulting Mrs. Harding, wife of the tenant on the Greisinger farm. Upon the new developments Greisinger’s bondsmen withdrew; he was re-arrested on the old charge, and held until the preliminary exam- ination on the second accusation could be made.

MEDICINE CO,, Corner ~ Wiliam and Acn Sizecte.New York, _ oa BY KENNETH W. PAYNE London, England, July 30.-Britain crushed to her knees, broken in spirit and starving! ‘That was the German government’s picture to the German people on Feb. 1 when unlimited de- struction by U-boats was decided up- on—that was tle condition their en- emy was to be reduced to in three months by the U-boats. Six month of the U-boat savagery have now passed. Today is the half- year annive of supreme ruthless- ness. In twice the time they original- ly allowed themselves, how near have the Germans come to accomplishing their threat? “Why, I'd hardly think England was fighting a war much less that she was blockaded!” This was the exclamation of a not- ed Austrian professor who has just! succeeded in reaching England after! three years’ experience of war condi- tions in Germany. His astonishment is typical of that of most travelers when they voice their first impression of England to- day. Outside the British isles there seems to be considerable misconcep- tion of what living conditions really are lie behind the “barred zone.” Qne party of Americans with whom I have just talked actually came over supplied with compressed food tab- lets! They were amazed to find restaurant life flourishing as gaily as if it were peace time. Six months of unbridled U-boat barbarity have not brought the Germans a single pace nearer vic- tory over Britain. They have have brought neither misery nor depression to the English people. Food prices are very high. But in some ca ; actually not ‘so high as they were before the U-boat warfare began. People. with very small in- comes complain bitterly about the food cost. But the high prices do not indicate food shortage so much as un- satisfactory distribution. Sugar is searce. The best hotels are as nig- gardly with tiny lumps of it as if ENGLAND FAR FROM STARVING AS RESULT OF SUBMARINE CAMPAIGN FOOD PRICES IN LONDON AFTER SIX MONTHS OF THE U- BOAT “BLOCKADE.” Approximate prices paid by middle class’ housewife: Rump steak, per pound Leg lamb, per pound Sirloin beef, per pound .

The suburban stations are bustling with family parties every Saturday and Sunday, bound for the country with lunch ‘baskets and fishing tackle. It is a stirring contrast to see these ;cheery parties mingle on the station ; Platform with crowds of burdened men in khaki bound out to the front. The work of war goes grimly on, but “pleasure as usual” seems to be England’s motto in so far as pleasure-seeking doesn’t inter- fere with her war work. The U-boat campaign seems to have been a tonic for England. People ; seem to feel, “Well, if that’s the worst the Huns can do, we’fe got ’em.” Britain, after six months of U-boat arfare, knows the war will last an- also the Ger- last card and be three words on the poster which is an admonition, but the first two are so run together as to, describe perfectly the article of baked goods.now served in homes and restaurants. And there the visible effect of six months of undersea ruthless- ness ends. But the Germans are boasting of the overpowering dread their U-boats are bringing to England. They tell of the breaking moral of the British people, the fear and depression and gloom which they say the menace of the U-boats is spreading throughout the populace.

SHOW SPIRIT OF OUR FOREFATHERS \ Men of the Training Camps Will Make Excellent Lot of Officers, NOT VERY MANY WEEDED wT Considerable Number Is Being Dew tailed for Engineering and Aviation Instruction—War Department Officials Are Pleased. By EDWARD B. CLARK. Washington.—More than half the first training period for candidates for commissions in the new army is up, and the officials of the war depart- ment are ready to declare that results are beyond expectations and that the “plucking” process will develop fewer victims than anyone thought possibly could be the case, Stock is being taken by the officials of the results obtained by weeks of training for the 40,000 young men now undergoing instruction in the camps. An officer of the army said today: “The lower commissioned rank in our national army will be filled by men of whom any country could be proud. The young Americans who are attend- ing the sixteen officers’ training camps in as many sections of the country are showing the spirit that made this country free, It is to be expected that no difficulty at all will be experienced in selecting the men to command in the junior commissioned: grades, the first 500,000 ‘young. Americans soon to be.called to the colors. “The time given for the training is short, and only one-half of it has passed, but’ the results obtained make us believe that, numerous as were the early mistakes and trying as were the conditions to which the men at first were subjected, the outcome will be all that we can wish, and it seems to be assured that the young officers quickly will get the confidence of the men whom they are to command and with it the confidence of this country and of its allies.” Political Pull Weakening. The reports which come to Wash- ington from all the training camps are. that the boys have put all that they have into thelr work. Washington still is a little fearful that some of the young men who may be denied commis- sions because they have not tome up to the mark may have recoutse to friendly political influence to ‘secure for them what they could not secure for themselves, This fear of the offi- cials, however, is not. sharp, for with- in a week or so.the pressure from the politicians for preference for this man or that man has weakened... It can be said for the war department that it has stood faithful to its duty of deny- ing requests for commissioned places for those lacking experience and other- wise unfitted for the work of leading men. It should be understood that nothing like all the young men who entered the camps will answer their names at roll call on the day of breaking camp. For six weeks the weeding-out policy has been pursued. - Men who never would make officers are told of their shortcomings and sent to their homes. In addition to this a considerable percentage of the men have been sent to other camps where they will specialize in engineering, or in aviation. The department has adopt- ed a policy of sending men\ to flying headquarters where they will be trained, and later be given commissions in the air service, ; To Help Prepare Army Camps. Now that something like seven weeks haye passed and virtually full éppértudity Has been given for passing judgment on the qualifications of each man, it {s not to be expected that the elimination will be anything like so many as they have been in the past ex- cept perhaps in the cases of men who show marked aptitude for places in the staff department. These men, of course, are not eliminated, but simply ‘are transferred. It has been asked frequently what is to be done with the candidate offi- cers between August 11, when the first camps are brought to an end, and the time set for the mobilization of the first national army. The students after about a week’s leave probably will be sent to the sites of the cantonments where they will undertake work under the colonels in command and will be given an opportunity to help in’ the preparation of the big camps for the selected service men. In the preparation for the second se- ries of encampments which will be opened on August 27 the officers of the army are doing what they can to avoid repetition of the mistakes made dur- {ng the continuance of the first enmp. Plans now drawn up by the depart- ment eliminate almost entirely men who lack any military experience. Of course some likely soldier-making ma- terial to be found among civilians who never have shouldered a musket will be utilized, but it is probable that the students at the second camps will be in large part men who have seen some prévious military service.

Barnard. The value of meats is also shown. : Beef, even at the lowest price, costs most. This is duc to the fact that 1 is less fat. But what it lacks in fat it gains in protein content. f The most strtking thing in the table is the great value of bread. ‘Ten cents spent for ‘bread, even at its present high price, will buy 1,500 calories of en- ergy; nearly five times as much as can be bought as steak, and) six times al much as when spent for eggs. -f - Bread today ts cheaper than potatoes at normal prices. Indecd, it is our! cheapest staple food. But better than that, it is the best balanced food we san buy at any price. With the exception of milk, it is the only food listed ‘that contains protein, fat and carbohydrates in well-balanced proportions. Whether wheat is cheap or dear, bread at almost any price is cheap foot when compared with meat. There is no denying the fact that the well-fe man is a lover of good bread. The stale bread delusion has cost the consumer as well as the baker. al great deal of money. It is foolish,besides. When bread is first baked, it con tains nearly 30 per cent of moisture. After a time some of this water escapes. ‘The bread dries out, or as the baker says, “goes stale.” Asa matter of fact. the bread isn’t stale, it is just as wholesome, just as sweet, just as satisfactory as the moment when it left the oven and every loaf that is returnet’. to the vakery to be fed to horses by that much fiiéréases the cost of bread. , Bread three days old, when properly‘ Repti ia:just as, good az when a day old. Why shouldn't it be? Bread baked in tleshome is. always ased up befors the next baking. It does not dry out because’ it je wrapped and placed in a bread box, where its moisture content is conserved. ‘Tze average housewife .doesn’t like to cut her homemadg loaf until it is a day old, for its texture is then firm, instead of spongy. wants ' Because bread is such a wonderful food, it is the first thing to which the government turned in the accounting of our supplies necessary because of the present war. For two years the world has produced less wheat than it bag eaten, and this is why far-seeing men at the head of the government are urg- ing the most careful economy in the use of bread stuffs, so that we may have the maximum quantity to send across to those who. are doing the fighting ia the great war. Today there can be neither excuse nor tolerance for the waste of a crumb of bread. Housewives must look to their larder. Bread that is eaten ie put to its best use, but bread that is wasted in times like the present becomcs ‘party to a crime. In cooking, the use Of toast for a garnish or decoration, un- less it is eaten, should:be discouraged. Cutting more bread than the family will consume at a meal, is wasteful. Crusts and crumbs must be carefully saved and untilized in other dishes. Only by such practices instituted at once ‘ean the United States hope.to escape the necessity of dark, coarse breads, that are being eaten in Europe,arid generally known as, “war bread.” Convright 1917 bv T.
