EXPERT DISCUSSES
FIVE-CENT LOAF
B R. Jacob Explains That
U. S. Will Not Keep
Formula Secret
WOMEN ENTITLED TO IT
n n .incobg. Government expert of the
v.'cent loaf, mailo a brief statement this I
morning coiiteunuh ,...- ......,
the exact Ingredients of which lie Is so
Jealously guarding.
"It Is In no v,'l,y ",e tJcrnmenl's In
tention to Keep this formula secret from the
ttomen of the nation," Mr. Jacobs said
They are entitled to It, and they aro the
rerv oncf we nro seeking most to benefit by
It It Is In eery respect sultnble for use In
the Individual kitchen nnd when the right
moment comes wo expect to hand It over to
them without reservation."
That right moment, It Is understood,
mas' not he expected within several weeks,
en clgantlc Is the task confronting the
food administration In Its effort to glvo
flxc-ccnt bread to the nation.
Even which b.ikcilcs have been chosen
by 'Mr Jacobs to co-operato with him Is
not yet made known. .So far, he said, ho
has barely made u beginning of his work
of conferring with tho leading bakers of
the town.
The particular Ingredients of which It Is
understood Heibert C. Hoover la -urging
conservation In the new Government loaf
rv sugar, milk and lard. But this docs
not mean that any actual substitutes for
these ingredients aro even contemplated.
If any such deductions hao been made
from the Uov eminent statement they havo
been Incorrectly made, according to Mr.
Jacobs
This Is paitlcularly reassuring In the faco
of the skepticism expressed by the leading
bakers of Philadelphia that there Is any
room for u "cheapened bread" here.
"The wholo psychology of the city Is
against It " asserted Colonel Louis J. Kolli,
when sounded as to his views on tho all.
absorbing live-cent loaf. "Hard times hao
not hit us so hard that any woman wants
to seem to glvo 'cheap biead' to her family,
any moro than she likes to be bffcn entering
a pawnshop If necessity docs force her
to call on her 'uncle,' which door does she
always enter? Isn't It tho side one every
time""
To emphasize this enigmatic statempnt,
Mr Kolb nolnts to tho tissue wrapper of a.
lately baked loaf'of Kolb's Horn! bread
fo named because It carries tho Kolb bond
that It contains no other Ingiedlents but
those listed on tho wrapper: "Best spring
wheat compressed yeast, puro cane sugar,
pure lard, pure filtered water." Will the
exacting housewives of Philadelphia ever
glvo up till J kind of comfortable assurance
for their own tables, however much they
may approve the Idea of n "CIov eminent
economy loaf" for others? Mr. Kolb thinks
not.
The problem of "standardization" from
another angle Is expressed by Charles t'rcl
hofer. of the Frelhofcr Baking Company.
Mr Frelhofer denies emphatically that any
"gouge In bread" has ever existed In Phila
delphia as asserted by Herbert Hoover.
Such conditions may bo true In Paragouit,
Ark but certainly not heic, Mr Kreihofcr
Is certain That, however, Is not tho side
of the situation seriously Interesting his
company
"We re having enough trouble getting the
flour to keep up with demand for our Lib
erty Loaf." said Mr Frelhofcr.
The problem of bread economy Is not
restricted to price, after all. That's the
tmallcst part of It, according to other
members of the Kreihofcr company, who
have made closest s-tudy of conservation.
The Krelhofer Liberty Loaf Is so made as
to keep fresh longer than any other biead
on the market, according to theso experts.
In this way It "taves a sllco a day," to
quote their slogan, no vestlgo of It, not
even tho crust, being lost. Can tho United
States loaf meet this famous Philadelphia
made brand? That Is for Uncle Sam to
prpve

THE WORLD'S WAR
Through Woman's Eyes
By ELLEN ADAIR
American Work
LONDON, Sept, 29,
TUB bravest American fighting man Is
not necessarily the man who goes to
France to wngo actual warfare, on tho
battlefield. Among American fightlne men
that I admire and respect most highly are
those who for
mnniliH nnd veara
have struggled and
tolled among that
unhappy body of
people known as
"prisoners of war."
laboring tirelessly
In Germany, In
Russia, In Austria,
In Rumania, all
over Europe, try

new American Hut
In London It was
my privilege to
have long talks
with several of
these bravo Ameri

Dr. A. C. Harte, the American who tolled so
hard In Gottlngcn and who has brought
cheer to many a weary prisoner.
Doctor Harto's work In Russia among
German prisoners has been as enthusiastic
as his work among Russian prisoners in
Germauy, as his work for American or for
British.
AMERICANS IN PRISON CAMP3
"And I've met lots of Americans In Ger
man prison camps," said ho. "Ono night
In Gottlngen a young fellow came up and
shook my hand. Ho was a good-looking
young fellow, but ho seemed downcast.
"'Say, Doctor Harte,' ho drawled, 'I
guess you're a leal American?'
" 'Vou bet your young life I ami' I an
swered. " Then,' said he, "will you write a letter
to my old mother In Virginia and tell her
I'm hungry?'
"You may bo turo I did," continued Doc

Joined up with tho Canadians, as so many
Americans did. nnd was paying the penalty.
But lie never regretted It. Now he would
like to bo transferred to his own army J
but I guess he's stuck In Germany till the
end of tho war.
"An extraordinary amount of tact ls
required for tho sort of work I have been'
doing. Tho greatest diplomacy was neces
sary in my relations with the Germans.
They hated tho British prisoners worst of
all, of course, and I often had dilllculty over
that.
"I worked In Russia a great deal, among
German prisoners there. Personally I love
tho Russians. They nro a splendid people.
And, believe me, this Russian revolution
business will set up a new standard for
success In life, a stundard that won't be
measured In dollais, but which will mean
Initiative in human service
"Now If that eventuates, the price will
surely not havo been too high. What do
you think?"
I (lulto agreed with Doctor Hnrto.

"Tell me something of the great IUis
slan leaders?" I asked,
"Well," said he, "only a week or two
ago I was present at a meeting of Uio
boclal Revolutionists In Russia. Prince
Kropotkln was In the chair. He Is an ex
traordinarily able fellow. 'Remember,' ho
told us, 'wo havo not won u victory until

"There Is something magnificent In the
new, commanding spirit o fthe Russians.
They seem no longer dreamers, mystics,
but at last practical men."
"What do you think of Kornlloff7" I
Inquired.
"Kornlloff.? Why Kornlloff's a real pa
triot and a man of remarkable will power,
I thought when I left that Kornlloff and
Kerensky would get together and do some
thing blg.'
"And Alexlcff?"
"Oh,"- said Doctor Harte, "If he re
mains chief of staff he'll do great good."
"What nbout Keronsky?" I asked.
Doctor Harte smiled. "He's the wonder
of the world," said he. "I've seen that man
work and work till he fainted and fainted
again. A will of Iron 1 The only sleep he
gets Is when he faints. That's true. No
man can enthuse like Kerensky, no man can
get on so well with the Russian soldiers."
"And Mllneoff?"
"He Is a great fellow, and surely will
get back his own."
"Did you find the average Russian sol
dier badly educated?" I asked.
ILLITERATE BUT ABLE
"I'm nfrald so," said Doctor Harte, "but
he's a magnificent specimen, all the same.
He's Intensely religious, serlous-mlnded and
enthusiastic. We taught hundreds of them
to read nnd write or lather, arranged for
the teaching. He's a kind-hearted fellow,
tho average Russian of tho lower classes.
I always found that ho treated tho German
prisoners very well Indeed; In fact, any
prisoner that fell Into his hands.
"I expect to leave for Rumania almost
Immediately to work among thoso rather
N
unfortunate people. The Rumanian army
has pulled Itself together in a remarkable
way."
"You don't Intend to return to Germany
In the meantime?"
Again Doctor Harte tfmlled. "The work
will go on Just tho same," he said, "but we
thought It advisable to put It In the hands
of neutrals. Our Young Men's Christian
Association secretaries throughout Ger
many and Austria aro almost entirely neu
trals now. But wo didn't closo down, and
we are stilt connected with tho work, Our
Young Men's Christian Association organi
zation for war prisoners Is united through
out the world."
He looked Around the cheerful American
hut On one side of us sat two American
sailors, petty ofllcers of the first class, who
wero on five days' London lcavo from their
destroyer. On tho right of us was a troop
of American soldiers. Behind sat two pri
vates of the Grenadier Guards, Closo be
side mo was a sergeant of the Honorable
Artillery Company. A couple of kilted
Highlanders sat with a bevy of Australian
troopers. I noticed a Jap and several
Maoris from New Zealand.
"This American hut Is a cosmopolitan
place," I said; "they seem to collect every
race under the sun hero."
LONESOME FOR PHILADELPHIA
And then an American soldier got up and
sang an old American song. There were
tears In tho eyes of many a homesick man
when ho had finished. "I'm Just as lone
somo for Philadelphia as I can be, right
now," said ono of tho sailors.
"Oh, for a eight of little old New York,"
said the other.
"I guess It'll bo years before I see my
old Kentucky home again," Bald a soldier
who had Just arrived, speaking with a
soft southern drawl.
We were Joined by another famous
American worker, Anthony W. Chez, who
has worked since the war began among
Allied prisoners In Austro-Hungary.
When America Joined the war, he had
to leave
"I confess the Austrlans were decent
sort of fellows." Mr. Chez told me. "They
always assured mo that this world's war
was really between Germany and Britain.
They wero longing for peace. Twice we
had pcaco reports, and, believe mo, thoso
Austrlans nearly went mad for Joy. Their
TKe Luxurious Chandler Sedan

disappointment was terrific, when
learned It was only a false alarm."
"Did Austria deslro America to
the war7"
they
Join
Mr. Chez laugh.d heartily at any such
Idea. "They hated the very thought that
America might light against them," he
said. "Bcllevo me, tho Austrlans are sick
of this war. They're only In It so they
said because they had to stick to 'Ger
many, not for themselves."
"What about the food shortage?" I asked.
"Appalling," was the answer. "Tho Aus
trlans aro actually hungry. .Several times,
when I entered tho best and most expensive
hotels I couldn't get bread not for love
nor money. The women aro most bitter of
all. They figure out that when this awful
war Is over, there will bo about twenty
women to every man, that marriages nnd
homes will be few and far between, that
they the women will have to take up
men's work and men'B burdens, devote their
lives to nursing the Invalids, the physical
wrecks who return from the war that con
ditions will, In fact, bo so hard that llfo
won't be worth living "
"Tho Austrlans anticipate a long war?"
I asked.
Mr. Chez nodded gravely.
