Ions, Hurley Says. ' WASHINGTON. Oct 31.--Chalrman Hurley, , of the shipping board said that the prospective total tonnage of ships turned out in 1918 will be around 3.200,000.$ .The 6.000.000 ton shipbulld ing program outlined last year called for at least 4,000.000 tons this year, but President Ferguson of the Newport News company and other experts $ inTSrmed the senate investigating comJnlttee that about 3,000,000 tons would be the best that could be expected. ; .! The shipping board will have eventually more wooden ships than it ; knows what to do with. Of the 600 wooden ships contracted for 287 have ; been launched and rieventy-four are ; in service. - i Wooden ships have been found impracticable for overseas service, be- : cause they cannot carry enough coal for the round trip, and there is no coal available in Europe. Consequently, all the wooden ships must be used In the coast-wise and Latin-American service, and the experts say that 400 ; will be more than enough for these j routes. " ' . :'The shipping board has decided ti build more large steel ships than hitherto planned. Companies now building 6,500 - ton . ships will be required to enlarge their ways and build larger ' vessels.

The map reveals Italy's war strategy and her territorial aspirations. Should Austria collapse before Germany, Italy would have a dear road to Germany's back door. The black portions of the map show the Italian "Irredenta," or the part of Italian territory that has been under Austrian domination for many years and which it has been the constant dream of Italians should be liberated from the hated yoke. The

cross-barred territory shows where , most exclusively and the Italian tba Italian language is spoken al- population is preponderant.

WALTERS TO EDIT PAPER IN ITALY

Word has been received here that Basil L. Walters, formerly of this city, now in the headquarters detachment of the United States ambulance service with the Italian army, is to ba the editor of an army newspaper, the first to be' established for the American troops in Italy. While in training at Allentown, Walters, who is an' Indiana university man, was news editor of the Aumblance Service News. Before entering ,the service he was a member of the staff of the Palladium.

"FIGHT ON, FIGHT ON!" 'Tls true, Kaiser William, That you caught us unprepared. Yes, you caught us napping When this war was first declared. But it didn't take us long. To wake up, you will admit; And you've learned that our boys Soon became all trim and fit Perhaps you wonder. Bill, How a nation unprepared, Could do the things we've done, And it sure has got you scared. But now listen Billy, Don't befuddle your poor brain; Just pay close attention, I'll endeavor to explain. Now you know how you said That our soldier boys were tin. And my, how you boasted That you'd lick us just like sin. Yes, you thought us easy. So you just laughed up your sleeve, Till wise Uncle Sammy

Got busy, you may believe. ' .

Now there's no need for me To tell you what all we've done, You've seen some things yourself, Bill, And thought it best to run. And now you talk of peace; Don't you know that cannot be Not till you surrender, William, On both land and sea. Yes, "Surrender complete?" All the allies do insist. And we will have it too, Even though you do resist. Our brave lads are fighting And we Bure will win the day. Listen, Kai3er Wilhelm, Ah "Fight on fight on!" they say. Mrs. Russell Wiley.

CLEVELAND, O., Oct. 31 The national executive session of the Women's foreign missionary society of the Methodist Episccmal church will be held here December 5 to 10. Mrs. W. E. McDowell, of Washington, national president, announced last night after a conference with Cleveland representatives. The convention, which was to have opened here today, was postponed on account of restrictions against public gatherings during the influenza epidemic.

National Crop Improvement Service.

i is cneerlng to Know tnat Mr. McAdoo says that there will be no car shortage this winter. He can

not, however, foretell weather conditions. One of the greatest necessities for the coming winter season is the conservative anticipation and preparation for the feed requirements of every community and locality. The brightest feature of the present situation is, of course, that we are making a crop record and apparently are going to have food enough for man and beast, and it, therefore, behooves us to utilize every car to its fullest capacity, to unload it as quickly as possible and send it on its way. There must be a surplus at all times. Our wonderful campaign of food conservation for humans must be supplemented In every way possible to insure winter supplies of feed for live stock. Plans for winter deliveries must be made now. We must prevent the undue slaughtering of animals which occurred last year on account of the range of prices of feed, which was due, more than anything else, to , Imperfect distribution. Feed manufacturers should urge liberal fall buying of feeds and feed men should survey their field and advise with the manufacturers what their requirements will be. A good big stock of feed in every consuming community will safeguard the interests of the feeders in availability of feed, which will also act as the most potent prico regulator which cn be devised.

NDERLOADED CARS

Waste Time and Pouer

' The manufacturer has only a limited opportunity to anticipate abnormal demand and he can lay in all the stock which the Government will allow him, but local stocks rest almost entirely with the foresight of the dealer. Hoarding of feeds or any other commodity is discouraged by the Government, but the Food , Administration will make rulings elastic enough so that the local dealer may be able to protect the interest of his customers. In the past the local dealer has been compelled to take much of his farmer trade on , "long time," which has strained his credit to the utmost. Now is an excellent time to go on a cash basis. In spite of any restrictions which the Food Administration may put upon feeds, if the dealer will carry a maximum, stock at all times tfaere will be little or no danger of a feed shortage such as occurred last year. Farmers should pay dealer cash within 48 hours of the notice of its arrival and should promptly tales the feed from the dealer within less than a week. This will allow the dealer to renew hist stock to the maximum at all times. Farm bureaus and local commercial clubs should study this question in order to insure an adequate supply. When this arrangement is made th8 local dealer can arrange for continuous shipments from his manufao; turer.

TRADE LOYALTY WITH OUR ALLIES FOLLOWING WAR

NEW YORK, Oct. 31. Various aspects of America's foreign trade after the war, including questions of "financing our foreign operations," educating our representatives for foreign trade service," foreign advertising, patents and trade marks, were discussed today at the opening of the

two day "prepare for after the war" convention arranged by the American Manufacturers' Export association. The meeting was attended by bankers, manufacturers, and advertising men from all parts of the country. George Edward Smith, president of the association, declared that while members of the organization believe "this year presents the supreme te3t

I of the farsightedness of American bus

iness men," and .while they want to make the United States prosperous, nevertheless, they "do not seek to extend the foreign trade of the United States at the expense of those nations with which we have fought 6houlder to shoulder for human happiness." Resolutions were adopted recognizing the heroism and sacrifice of France and Belgium and pledging the organization's support to the complete restoration of Belgium, the rebuilding of her industries, and the unconditional defeat o,f German anna. Quit Playing Politics, Secretary Daniels Urges BOSTON, Mass., Oct. 31. Secretary Daniels, in a political speech here last night, declared that the Re-

! publicans were willing, in hopes of

party advantage, to make Germany believe President Wilson does not speak for America in his fourteen principles and terms of peace. "The wisdom of Webster," said the secretary, "calls trumpet-tongued to the men of the Bay State today: 'Quit playing politics long enough to present a united front to the enemy. Give the president of the United States today the same support you gave to Washington, Lincoln and McKinley when they were commanders in chief of the army and navy in days of war." Urging the return of a Democratic congress, the naval secretary said: "Outside of those measures upon which public opinion was so centered that opposition meant political death, the vocal Republican leadership of the country has been, as the president says, 'anti-administration.' " Mr. Daniels today addressed a Democratic rally at Faneuil Hall, delivered a speech at a political meeting at Lynn and conferred with leading Democrats here. Before the Faneuil Hall meeting he visited the na7y yard, where he went aboard a warship and addressed the crew, congratulating the officers and men, who, he said had set a net page of heroism in the record of the navy.

In buying package goods one should judge the cost not merely by the weight of the food in it. - - Because cereals are relatively low in price and because most of them furnish some tissue building materials as well as body' fuel, it is good economy to use them freely and sometimes in place of the more expensive foods. ,

uive Us Time, Germany

(Written by George Ade for the National Security League.) A German, in a back room somewhere, drew up a program of the war as it was to be. France was to be sent sprawling with one blow of the fat fist. Then clumsy Russia was to be subdued. 'After that, haughty England, and then bumptious America. A German picked out the pretext for the war. A German whispered to Austria the words which made conflict inevitable. ., A German ordered the invasion of Belgium. . A German sighted the torpedo at the Lusitania. The Germans claimed all the early privileges in the present controversy. Now, we (that is, the allies) in all humbleness, calling attention to the fact that we were somewhat ignored at the beginning of the performance, claim just one right, or privilege, or inning, or whatever you choose to call it To even accounts and balance the books, the allies should be permitted to name the date on which the war is to end. Be fair, Germany, and grant us this one small favor; you who have reveled in the initiative. And for goodness sake, don't hurry us! Don't be offering suggestions as to peaceful terms.

Can't you see that we are busy? i ' With our hands on our hearts, t. assure you that in due time and. proper season, the last shot will be fired and the long peace will be in--. augurated. r We are just as anxious for it as. j you are. J Be reasonable! ' The war will terminate Just as soon as you are licked to a frazzle! ;

Cereals in the Diet

'A

peel

FRIDAY and SATURDAY

fk Grey Brown

r By Nina V. Short Emergency Home Demonstration Agent Cereals are nutritious foods which in one form or another, make up a large part of most wholesome and inexpensive diets. They are all rich in starch, which furnishes the body with fuel or energy. They also furnish some tissue building and body regulating materials. These are more abundant in wheat, rye and oats than in rice and corn. The outer coating of the grain (called bran in wheat) contains valuable mineral matters very necessary to health. These are also found in milk, eggs, fresh fruits and vegetables. Water added to cereal foods during cooking increases the bulk of the finished dish, but not its food value. Well made bread of any kind is a wholesome and valuable food. Heavy or underbaked bread, if eaten day after day, may cause digestive disturbance. Breakfast cereals bought in bulk usually cost less than package goods and raw cereals less than those which have been partly or entirely cooked at the factory.
