Each district has a central office, in charge of an expert whose duty it is to work out the special problems of that district, whether these are reducing waste in the homes of the wealthy or making more food available In the homes of the wage earners. A number of debutantes and young

natrons of society are helping in the movement, by which the daily surplus of vegetables and fruit which would otherwise be wasted, is sorted on one of the piers by members of the organizations, then canned or dehydrated, according to approved methods. The sorting is done by volunteers. Each worker receives a dally work card, which will be redeemable this winter in vegetables. It was said it might be necessary to have day and night shifts, as quantities of fruits and vegetables are now in season and the canning and dehydrating must be done as the produce conies-' to the market.

Censorship Over Cable News

NO UNREST IN SPAIN SAYS AMBASSADOR

" WASHINGTON. July 5. The Span--ish ambassador, Juan Riano, today re

ceived disimtches from Spain refut

ing reports of internal disturbances

published in France, on the basis of

which he m&de this statement: r

"The situation in Spain is complete

ly normal. Absolute tranquility pre vails everywhere and there is no rea

ton for supposing that there are political or social disturbances. There la. however, a manifest interest in

creating an atmosphere of doubt and

of alarm by means of false rumors cir

culated daily which fortunately very

soon find a contradiction in facts."

-WASHINGTON, July 5. Secretary Baker today Issued a statement explaining the operation of the war department censorship over cable dispatches from France dealing with the American troops saying that the present arrangements are temporary and soon would be supplemented by a method that will not delay delivery. "Pending the complete organization of General Pershing's headquarters in France," the statement Baid, "with the arrival there of correspondents accredited to represent American newspapers, the temporary arrangements by which cablegrams are transmitted to the war department here for distribution will be continued. "It is In the interest alike of the

aimy ana me newspapers to airora a certain reliance as to the propriety of

ine publication of messages from France. The arrangement is temporary and will be replaced speedily by a more direct method of dealing with this news. In the meantime an adequate force to deal promptly with the dispatches on hand twenty-four hours

a day will deliver the dispatches received in the order in which they come so that no disadvantage will result In anything beyond the brief delay In sending the dispatches to Washington and back to the center of distribution." The work of reading over the press dispatches is being done by the committee on public information, much of it personally by George Creel, the chairman. Secretary Baker explained that the plan worked out provided, however, that the poinion of Brigadier

General Mclntyre,' censor for the war department here, was sought where there was any doubt as to the advisability of publication of any Item; Mr. Baker has made no effort to find legal authority for the establishment of the new censorship he said and does not intend to ask for legislation in that regard. . "The secretary of war," he said, Vby unanimous consent, is empowered to take any steps necessary for the protection of American soldiers."

The censorship arrangement to be set up by Major-General Pershing, it i3 understood, will cover British or French publications regarding American troop movements as well as dispatches to this country. . Mr, Baker added that It might be found necessary to supplement that censorship with an additional reading at New York in order to make certain that every press or personal dispatch had been read to prevent information of

value to the enemy from leaking out. Neither Secretary Baker nor Secretary Daniels would express any opinion today as to whether word of the departure of American troop transports had been transmitted to Germany in such time that a U-boat trap had been laid. Both indicated that they had no specific information on this point

American Soldiers

: A FRENCH SEAPORT, Wednesday, July 4. (Delayed) For the first time

in its history this little seaport today celebrated the . Fourth of July, The - majority of the Inhabitants scarcely knew what they were celebrating, but tney had been told it was the American "Fourth of July," corresponding to their fourteenth of July, greatest of all French holidays, and they did their utmost to give the town a festive air. The scarcity of United States flags, which was apparent when the American troops first landed a week ago, was remedied by seuding to Paris for quantities of the Stars and Stripes and the seaport awoke under the first cloudless skies for a week radiant with bunting. The townspeople took a sort of a holiday though they did not close their

stores which these days are such an!

usual source of income with the thousands of new customers. Such American soldiers and sailors as were allowed liberty, numbering into the thousands, were made welcome everywhere. Countless families gave lijttle dinner parties to lonesome stranger soldiers from the United States. At the camp where the troops are stationed the day was passed with relaxation from drills. Baseball games were played and athletics and sports of all kinds were indulged in by the Americans. American vessels at an

chor In the harbor gave liberty for the j

day to as large a number of sailors as possible. Officers of the ships entertained their American friends from ashore fit luncheon and at dinner, ,

"Although my father was a New Hampshire man and my mother a Vir

ginian," recently said Douglas Fairbanks, who is playing Friday, Saturday and Sunday at the Murrette theatre in "Wild and Woolly," his second Artcraft pro

duction, "where riding is accepted as a matter of course, I was born in Colorado. I had never ridden one of those wonderful creations of tbe'devil known as a 'bucking broncho' until I started work in "Wild and Woolly. To stick to

one of these creatures, one must be a combination of sailor, bareback rider, freight brakeman and lots of other things, so unexpected and multifarious are his motions. He can move in more acute angles than any other beast in the world."
