There have beernt many disclosures réfardifig the ineficient manner in which the armiy supplies Weré goliig forward. With them a8 with other commodities thers have beéfi hold ups and delays Which are umjustified and the placing of General Goethals in the quartermaster’s départment as acting quartétmaster general gives escellent promise of brifigliig the muéh néeéded relief. FolloWing récofmriendatioris fnade by Him to the secrétdry of war the plers and warehousés of the Bush ter- minal at New York have beéen comi- mandeered.. These are the best to be had and it must be recoghized that the best ls fionie t6b good Whefi it comes to hHdndling theé war supplies of this ceiintrt. The chonge is in- tesded to feplacp the chaotic condi- tions With &n orderly cenduct of the husinéss.

This is the first iMportant effect of the recail of General Goéthals to the governient's asgistance. His ser- ¥iees shiculd never have beén dispensed with but with this master hand al- recting this vital department of the war machife pebults” stich as are needed should hé speedily obtained.

All effort thaj is expend- ed in that direetion is bound to biing results, and the lesson will apply "not only to those who areé caught at such work but those who are willing to en- wage therein. The idea that such peo- ple can get off with a reprimand and a sldp on the wrist must be complete- ly removed. [ FOOD RESOLUTIONS. = When it comes to resolations, and’ it isn’t too late to adopt them now, there is a good deal to be said in favor of those which have to do with the sav- ing of food. Regardless of what had been done in the past every loyal American housewife has much to do in the way of conservation and the substitation 8o that our food supply may cover our ©wn needs and also help our allies. For that reason those who have not followed such a poliey as well as those who haye can well resolve, as the food administration suggests: To let no food of any kind go to waste. To set one day in every week and one meal in every day when no wheat flour shall be used in any manner, shape or form. To set one day in every week, and one meal in every day when no meat shall be cooked or served. To set one day in every week when no pork is served or eaten, To eat and sérve fowl and ponltry B ¥ e & as often as possible in place of odmf [ meat. To use butter only at tabie; u cook with oil or drippings and to waste nt fat of any kind. Td use corn and fruit syru il lasses and sargh as often as p Td use all d resolutions by the h é5 of country would effect & savifig and there is lieve that there % m ber who will do 2 i to< win the war. ¢ ’ MEETING THE SITUATION.
