ROUSE * GUSTAVE LAMBERT FREDERICK DURR . GET THE WHOLE STORY. Some revelations have been made by Secretary Lansing regarding the op- erations of the agents of the German government in this country. They jibe with what the people of the United States had reason to expect. There Bave been inklings at different times which prepared the people for just y disclosures as have been made. Tt was therefore not in the nature of a Burprise when it was shown that the government had the facts and that it had possessed them for some consid- erable time. But in connection therewith it has been shown that there are those in this country, somé of whom may be subjects of Germany but others who are not, who are the tools of the ene- my. They are lending their assistance io the support of schemes and the #preading of propaganda’ which are directly against the interests and safe- ty of this nation. It is hish time therefore that every effort was made to carry the disclos- ures which have been made further. It ought to be known what organization it iz and who the members of it are that Count Bernstorff was able to buy and upon whom he was anxious to spend more Germ#n money in order to bring the desired injuence to be: upon congress. If no member of con. gress has participated in _this dirty work no member of consress ought to fear an investigation, but the whole light ought to be turned on afd it ought to be done now. e HELPING IN TWO WAYS. While the recent advance of the British on the western front is .char- mcterized by Fleld Marshal Haig as one of the greatest among recent vic- torfes it is apparent th‘lt it is bound to_serve a twofold purpose. The Fritish and French are doing their utmost to push back the Te tonic army in France and Belgium. It is realized that the season is approach.- ing when operations will have to be suspended and efforts concentraged upon preparations for the drive next s=pring, and it i therefcre ithportant to ‘accomplish what is planned for this season as early as possible both fo! the advantage which will accrue to them as well as the handicap that ft will Inflict upon the enemy. But while stress is being laid upon the western front it must be realized that the con- tinuation of activity there is one of they effective feans which tho British French now have for giving as- sistance both to the Italian and Rus- sian armies on their respective fronts. A reiaxation would mean the shifting of German divisions to the Italian' front or the reieasing of troops for ithe pushing of advance upon |Dvinsk. But with the menace on the ‘western front constantly increasing just so much help is being contrib- utea elsewhere.

It is_but, proper therefore that this b should @o fts utmost to over- cbm$ this situdtion. It has been ap- m’to for this much needed com- and Food Admintstrator Hoo- ver has asked the people to cut down their consumption by one-third on candy and the uses of sugar outside af that, required for canning opera- tions. It is not an unreasonable re- amest. We €an reduce our candy eat- ing and i many instances be the bet- ter for it. We can also reduce the ameount of sugar that we are ustg in other ways and suffer no serious in- convenience or effects. It is an op- portunity which is offered to almost eyerypne to. do his bit in a new way | for the success of the war, and if we want to look at it that way it is a. lehuee to ‘economize even if there is 2 prospect of a drop in the price. The needs of France should.get full con- sideration.’ ——— A WARNING TO HEED. Germany may try to get a bit of solace out- of-the declaration that has by Lord Rhondda, the Brit- i controller, when in urging the people to & greater cooperation in the suying of fead he asserted that he would have né compunction in plac- ing the conntry on-compulsory ration: 1€ is possible for Germany to look up- on this position being taken as the result of the submarine warfare which it is conducting, for it is with the idea of starving' England that this was put into operation, and with the threat being made of cutting down the supplies it would not take much of a twist to attribute this state cf affairs to the Bffectiveness of the U- boats. = But Lord Rhondda took care to in- ciude in his statement the assurance that it is not the submarine peril which makes the existing situation déngerous but the shortage of cereals, meats and fats as fisured by world requirements. He plans on drawing heavily from this country but at the sams time he izes the impor- tant- dontribution which can-be made by each and every person in f£ngland and the patrlotic service which they should be eager to render by contrib- uting in every way possible to the best use of that which is on hand and that which will be received. That is what he desires but failing to get such co- operative action a compuisory ration will be adopted. It is a warning that should be heeded. THE RAILROADS’ RESPONSE. According to figures which are pre- sented by the Railway”Age Gazette there i a constant increase in the demarids which are being made upon the railroads of the country, and, pleasing to note, the roads in spite of the handicap under which they are working ars making a magnificent re. snonse to the situation. It is possi- ie now to compare the statistics of jast June with those of the corrcs- vonding month of last vear, which show that the freight trafic in the country ag a whole showed an in crease of 23 per cent. per mile of line, an increase of 21 per cent. per freight locamotive and of 19.6 per cent. per “feigiat car, and this has been accom- plished with only 1.8 per cent. m. locomotives and 3.2 per cent. more t cars. This shows how thoroughly the roads have realized the problems that ;ay before them. They have proceeded to get more out of the locomotives whith bave increased the averace nutiber of miles from 65 to almost 78 and by the improvement in the lcad- ing of the cars, the average tons per train having been increased frem 642 to 715. This makes it evident that what the railroads of this country need is more encouragement instead of increased discouragement, and with the govern- ment, employes and shippers lending thelr full cooperation the transporta- tion needs of the country will be bet- ter taken care of.

Yhu are careful to observe courtesies in your civilian life. ‘ou ‘would scon make yourself offensive to all your friends if you were in the habit of passing them e cold stare or a discourteous nod. These customary rules of ‘breed- ing apply in a slightly ai nt form in the army. There is the same reason for them in the army as in civil life. Courtesy helps to make the great army machine run more smoothly. Tt is the outward sign that the right re- lations exist ameng and men. —These right relatfons should.be giv- en _expression both within the military camp and outside. “Courtesy ameong: military men is indispensable to disci- pline; _ respect to superfors will not be confined to obedience on duty, but will be extended on all occasions.” (Army Regulations, par. 4) The obli- gation to show proper . courtesy is bind’2g upon officdls just as well as upon men. The commanding general of the army is required to be coi ous to you, just as you are requil be courteous. to him. Importance of Correct Forms. Courtesy among military - men is shown by speaking and acting in a respectful manner. It is shown also by using the correct form of recogni- tion. This correct form when meet- ing or addressing commissioned offi- cers is known as the military salute. “In_the old days the free men of Europe were all alio to Scarry. weapons, and when thdy met each would hold up his right hand to show that he had no weapon in it and that they met as friends. Slafles or serts. however, were not allowed fo carry ‘weapons, and slunk past the free men without making any sign. In this way the salute came to be the symbol or sign by which soldiers (free men) might recognize each other. The er classes began to imitate t) 1 diers in this respect, although in a clumsy, apologetis way, and thence crept into civil life ‘the custom of raising the hand or nodding as ofie passed an acquaintance. The, soldiers, however, kept their individual salute. and purposely made it intricate and diffeuit to learn in order that it could 1 by the constant trajning of a1}’ real soldiers received. this armies have pre- served their salute and when correct- 1y done it is at once recognized and aver mistaken for that of the civilian. All soldiers should be careful to exe- cute the salute exactly as prescribed. The civilian or the imitation soldier who tries to imitate the military sa- lute invariabl makes some mistake which shows that he is not a real sol- dier: he gives it in an apologetic man- ner. he fails to.stand or march dt at. tention, nis coat is unhottoned or hat on awry, or he fafls *n loat the per- Son saluted in the There is a. wide difference in of ren- t to the 1 ‘Your Post | Plo: the right, eve, thumb and #a- gers extended and joined, palm the left, forearm inclined at L‘:‘.‘m hand and wrist s t.

Never forget that it is not only re- quired of you as a duty, but is also your rightand privilege, to salute all commissioned officers and to have your ccurtesy returned. This statement as- sumies, of course, that you are in goed standing as a soldier. A military prisoner is not permitted to salute. It is the custom of the army in speaking to an officqr to stand at at- tention and use the word “sir.” In ail official conversation refer to other sol- diers by their titles—for exampl “Sergeant Smit] or “Private 10t merely (“Smith” or “Brown ‘When an officer enters a room where there are several enlisted men. the word “attention” is given by some one who perceives him, when all rise, un- cover, and remain standing at-atten- tion until the officer leaves the room or directs, otherwise.

However, this does not mean that You are not to treat them with respect and courtesy. In a general way show them the same considers- tion that you would show to men iw corresponding positions in civil life. . LETTERS TO THE EDITO3 New York Women in Sufirage Move- ment.

Mr. Editor: A ‘great deal of space has been devoted in the papers recent- ly to what France did for the Amer- ican Colonies in the Revolutionary war, apd particular mention has been made of the gallant services _of Lafayette. All of this is very fine and true, but it is regrettable, to_say the least, that no mention has been made of the fact that a very large number of Lafayette’s army were Irish. We have it from the best authorities, it was cne-half Irish, that is, one- half of the men who came here from France to help the cause of American liberty were of the famous French- Irish brigade, commanded by Count Arthur Dillon. This brigade made special request for service in Ameri- ca against the British, and four regi- ments designated as “Dillon’s,” “Walsh's,” Roche-Fermoy,” and _“the Berwick Irish,” composed the com- mand that came to America, making up over one-half .of the whole con- tingent. Count Arthur Dillon _wae second in command under Count D'Estaing at the seige of Savannah in 1779, In, the attacks of the Americans and Fréanch on/Savannah, _three in number, Count Dillon played a leading part, and Lieutenant Colonel Lul Brown led Walsh's regiment, the com. mander_having been killed. This va. lorous Franco-Irish brigade that came from France had long served on the battlefields of Europe. From the c itulation of Timerick to the British in 1621, down almost to the period of the French Revolution, a hundred vears later, Ireland supplied an enor- mous contingent to the French armies, the Irish troops being privileged to of course be oversubscribed even as was the first. The idea that the kaiser greets with sympathy Pope Benedict's peace plan is_easily understood on the srounds that he favors anything which 18 fa- vorablg to Germany. From the pro-German actions of some of the members of congress there appears to be good reason in the susgestion which has been madc that they be investigated. The new bridge across the St. Law- rence is a big engineering accomplish- ment but it would mever have done for an army to have waited for it in ordler to get at an enemy. It is easy to.see what the war and conscription means alréady and what it has in store for > that “Maine iad, who, before zoitg to Camp Devens. had never ridden on a train or'fn @n aute and Who had never be- -~ maintain their distinctive organiza- tions, and being allowed even _extra pay over and above the French sel- diers. The old poem tells their story. On foreign flelds from Pumkirk to‘Bel grade, Lie the soldiers and Chiefs of the Irish brigade,” supplied with men from time to time from the green isie of the ocean, they kept up their or- ganization in France, and ‘when Lafayette called for aid for America, they were ready to respond, and they aid. Among eir commanders were ymen like Count Dillon, representing the great Dillon family of Mayo, Ire- land. They were the right atm of Lafayetté in the great fight for Amer- ican freedom. In remembering the noted Frenchmen., why is it, they should be- forgotten in the celebra- tions? ‘ ‘With the editor’'s permit, T would like to call attention to #nother chapter of American history. Among Amer. ieans of the present generation the idea generally prevalls that the ma- Jority, If not all, of the pioneer sSttlers in the original Thirteen Colonies were a mixture of Engiish and Dutch, amd, as a logical corollary, the belief ob- tains that no other people had & in laying the foundations of the - try. That this impression is errone- ous is proved by recent researches of American-Irish historical students fn- to the racial composition of the Seventeenth and Eighteenth century immigrants, and the fact is now being brought to light that a large propor- tion of the early settlars were deéscend. ants of the anciemt Gaelic families of Ireland. Records of the land office: secretaries of state, or registrars of wills and deeds, county clerks, and other equally authentic sources fur- nish abundant proof of early settle- ments in this country by the vigorous sons and daughters of Erin. In an examination of the early records as well as the town and county histories and the genealogical works, a-striking fact presents itself to the student of history—namely, the«frequency with which people of Irish names are men- tioned as “the first settlers” in this or that town or county; the first judge; governor; and so on, many ex- amples. of these Ifish “firsts” are rec- orded, and, taken as a whole. they fur- nish some interesting sidelights into early American history. Culled from these records: In_the first voyage- made by Sir Walter Raléigh to Virgini Irishmen are referred to by Hakluyt, the Chronicler of the expedition. The firs: recorded colony_fo establish it- self at Newport News. Va. came from Cork, Irgland, in the vear 1621, or only one year after the landing of the Pilgrims ‘of the Mayflower, and the first attempt of Europeans fo estab- lish a settlement on the Merrimac river in Massachusetts was “ a mixed Irish and Scotch company,” which em- barked at Carrickfergus, Ireland, in the yegr 1631, with “a considerable quantity of equipment and merchan- dise” The first settlement in the Shenandoah Valley at Staunton, Va. where President Wilson was _born, was mads by John Lewis from Dope- £al, and the first known schoolmaster. in the Valley was John Wilson from County Armagh. In the first settle- ments of Georgla by Oglethorpe in 1735, Irishmeri are recorded, and the founder of Augusta. Ga., was William O'Bryan. The " first two generals of the Revolutionary army selected by T~ -“ington were Sullivan and Richard 3" comery from Doregal, and the 1at o was the first general of, the offi- cers to fall in battle.

Bruised and otherwise unmarketable potatoes may be used in making po- tota starch, very desirable and health- ful food. Potato starch can be used in many waye for food purposes, in making sal- ads, puddings, milk dishes, eic. In every potato section of the country thousands of bushels of tatoes are wasted every yvear which could just as well be utilized in Jmaking potato starch. Use plenty of water and a vegetable serubbing brush in washing the po- tatoes.- Seat yourself in a convenient position with a vessal containing po- tatoes at one side and a empty vessel for the gratings on the other. Place dishpan with grater on a low. thble and without removing the rkins, grate your potatoes by hand or run theht thraugh he saueage grinder. Empty gratings to second tub or vessel. Over the gratings pour clean water. Stir well, so as to saturate every par- ticle of the potatoes. Allow to stand for a little time and then remac the peelings and other floating materia! from the top of the water. Stir agein, add a little more clean water and al- low the same to stand for several hours or over night. The starch gram- ules will eettle to the bottom and all pulp and potato skins will rise to the Ltop of the water or settle on top of the starch® granules. Remove the wa- ter carefully, also the pulp and ekins. Scrape the dark coat off the top of the starch formation, being careful not to remove any of the starch. A second time pour fresh, clean water over the starch. Stir thorough- ly. Allow to stand for several hours or over night. ' Remove water and pulp as before and add another appli- cation of water. Continue this as often as necessary to render your starch perfectly - white and nst only from pulp, but from all sand or eediment of any kind which is not pure starch. This operation can be abbreviated by rinsing the first time and then straining the pulp, starch and water !hfo‘!:‘h cheesecloth or cloth of finer| mesh. " STORIES OF THE WAR A Brilliant French Triumph. (Cerrespondence of The Associated Press.) The greatest battle ever fought, an eighteen months struggle for Verdun, which has been in _progress since February 21, 1916, has been a brilliant triumph for the ¥rench army. Today not only the famous city but its out- lying belt of forts are in the hands fering severely from the hard hits they have received and unable to do amy- thing more for the moment to re- trive their most recent defeat than to. try to hold back their antagonists while they recover breath. Among the one-time wooded valleys and hills in the vicinity of the for- tress no fewer than 600,000 Germans have fallen dead or wounded. Tens of thousands of their bodles were buried where they feil only to be disinterned again by shells tearing up the ground in the course of the.incessant bom- bardments and then once more covered by earth thrown up by other explod- ing projectiles. The correspondent of The Associated Press had frequenp ev- idence, while crosding the torn-up battlefleld, during the fighting of tbe temporary character of the graves: Around Douaumont, Vaux, Pepper Hill, Goose Hill, Dead Man's HiH and Hill 304, all centres of the most serious fighting during many months, the earth is impregnated with blood and the' churned up soil is so desiccated that in dry weather it forms into deep beds of dust while in wet weather it is just a_swamp of ooze, through which it is affficult to make progress. In the battiws of August and Octo~ ber, 1916, Verdun had freed itself of some of the heavy pressure of the German hosts, but the outer line of hills and woods surrounding the city was still in the occupation of the ene- my.
