Feeding American Troops on War-Time Rations Columbus, Ind. t Oct. 8. How an inexperienced man can feed Govern ment troops and save money on the job is being demonstrated at Camp Taylor by Lucas Lincoln, of this city. Lincoln is mess sergeant of the 42d Company, sth Battalion. He was one of the tirst drafted men to go from Bartholomew county, having volun teered out of his regular order of obligation. He is a son of William H. Lincoln, a furniture manufacturer here and is married. In a letter home. Lincoln tells how he Is feeding 145 men for less than 27 cents each a day. He says the food is well cooked and that the men have plenty. A sample menu inclosed in the letter shows where Lincoln made a saving of $17.38 on the Gov ernment's food allowance for the three meals scheduled. For break fast the men had Hamburg steak biscuits and syrup, hashed brown potatoes and coffee. The dinner menu was vegetable soup, macaroni and cheese, bread and hot tea and peach cobbler- For supper the menu had boiled ham, mashed potatoes, bread and syrup, iced tea and stewed prunes. Check on Newsprint Price to Prevent Gouging Washington, Oct. 8. —The Federal Trade Commission took steps to-day to prevent future news prin.t paper price Increases on false reports of .short supplies. Newspaper publishers throughout the country were directed to keep the commission informed monthly as to their rate of consumption and the amount of paper stocks on hand. Al ready manufacturers are required to furnish production, reports. The sharp rise in prices last year was charged by the commission in large measure to the suggestion of manufacturers that they could not keep up with the rate of consump tion. The commission's investigation showed there was no actual short age. The commission intends that a similar situation shall not arise again.

The car striking the cab of the locomotive caught all of the coaches scraping the sides and breaking all of the win dows on that side of the train.

B.—A dispatch to the j, Daily News from the British front j says: "Never have we met with uch dis organization among the enemy as f we have to-day. Over most of the front the Germans ran off or sur rendered. Prisoners came to us in droves and columns, and among them was a large proportion of youn.gr and weakly men, such as we already knew the latest German levies furnish. "Never has the German army been so hammered. In winning the main central portion of Passchendale Rideg we absolutely shattered three German divisions and broke up n.ot less than four others while our own casualties were again light. 'Follow ing so closely upon the victories of September 20 and 26, yesterday's battle represents a veritable catastrophe for Germany." War Bread Successful in New York Hotels New York. Oct. B.—War bread has made its bow to New York City, t Already it has been substituted, ex- t perimentally, for wheat bread in the s larger hotels of the city, and it is t believed the innovation of the bread made of cereals other than wheat < will win the public over and estab- ( lish the fact that this staple is not so 1 necessary to the sustenance of life i as is generally supposed. The first t experiment of regrinding bread t crusts into a flour proved unsuccess ful because of the expense of rccon- c verting the product into a flour of j powdered form, but this obstacle 1 has been largely overcome and it is J estimated that the larger hotels easily recover a barrel of flour a ; day ill this manner.
