MEATLESS DAYS CUT TO TUESDAY TO SAVE WHEAT Porkless Saturday, Together With Beeflcss Daily Meals, Declared Off Washington, March 4.—Porkless Saturday and the meatless meal every day were wiped off the Alneri can housewife's kitchen calendar yesterday by the United States food administration with these words of caution: "Save more wheat!'* The transportation tie-up of the winter, which caused a tremendous dislocation in the distribution of food, reacted favorably at least in bringing a surplus of pork and other meats on the market this year at a much earlier period than ever be fore in the history of the industry. The first contributing factor in the unexpected situation, according to food administration officials, was the inability of the farmer' to move his soft corn. Rather than lose the value of it entirely, the producer fed it to his hogs, and through this pro cess of forcing the visible supply of pork products was Increased during the winter from 15 to 20 per cent.

CHURCHMEN TO SPEAK AT j TWO BIG RALLIES; Educational Sessions to Be! Held in Derry Street • 1 Church ! i g|ig ■wr vME hp i| iw| K - $> jjL |1 Wk ■" Mrm BISHOP BELL Leading laymert and ministers of the United Brethren denomination will be heard at the Derry Street United Brethren Church to-morrow afternoon and evening, at 1.30 and 8 o'clock. The afternoon sessions will be in the form of a committee meet ing in which leading ministers and laymen will participate, and the evening will be open to the general public. Among those who will appear on the program will be Bishop William M. Bell, of Washington, and until recently of the Pacific coast district of his denomination, will speak of the "Four-Year Program and Its Relation to the Educational Work." Dr. S. S. Hough, Dayton, Ohio, the missionary secretary, will speak on the "Relation of Missions to the Christian Colleges." Congressman Aaron S. Kreider, Annville, chair man Lebanon Valley College En dowment Campaign, will speak of the plans for carrying on the cam paign, while President G. D. Gos sard, will speak on "The Place of the Christian College in Denomina tional and National Life." Dr. S. C. I Enck, Philadelphia, will preside. At these conferences no solicita tion for funds of any kind will be made. These gatherings are purely educational in character, and an un usual opportunity for members of the United Brethren Church and friends of Lebanon Valley College is offered. Conferences scheduled for this week are, Baltimore, Harrisburg, Lancaster, Lebanon, Allentowa, and Reading. Issues Statement The following statement has been iesued by Congressman Kreider: ''That the campaign to be launched for an adequate endowment for Leb anon Valley College, is a part of a great movement of the larger deno minations as well as that of the United Brethren, who at their recent session of general conference held at Wichita, Kan., adopted a four year program calling for a $2,000,- 000 fund to be divided among the seven colleges and seminary of the denomination. "All of this is in harmony with the general need as recognized not only by the denominaUons but also by the federal government and may be regarded as a war measure. The national education commissioner has recently urged that in addition to the large work that is now done to safeguard the training of the youth of these United States, that $221,- 000,000 be appropriated for the pur pose of further extending education al equipment and salaries for teach ers." Congressman Kreider further stated that he is in hearty sympathy and in harmony with the movement that will be national in its scope. He sees great danger of educational in terests being neglected due to the stress of war conditions now upper most in the minds of the people, and would consider it most unwise and unpatriotic should this phase of war emergency be overlooked for even during the war and especially at the close of the conflict the na tion will need as never before the services of intelligent leadership which the colleges and schools sup ply. This demand will at the close of the war tax every institution of learning to the utmost capacity and now is the time to prepare for the emergency which is sure to come, in other words, the colleges and schools must prepare as never before to meet the demands of the nation. YANKEES RIDDLE SIGN WITH BULLETS [Continued from First Page.] are living in the trenches and accom panying dugouts. The front-ine trenches have been cleaned, im proved and strengthened, and are well protected with barbed wire en tanglements. At another point the correspond ent saw some men who had just completed their round of trench duty. As soon as the Germans learned I the Americans were in the trenches 1 opposite them they put up a sign i reading, "Welcome Yankees," but the infantrymen riddled it with bul lets until it looked like a sieve. All the soldiers with whom the visitor talked expressed pleasure at being in the trenches rather than in a training camp. A French captaiii declared the Americans had asumed control of No Man's Land soon after entering the trenches in a certain sector. German prisoners captured in pa trol lighting there stated that the handful of Americans attacked with so much force and vigor that the Germans threw up their hands and shouted "Kamerad," in the belief that there were many more, in the attacking party. •, Although numerous daring, cou rageous deeds have> been performed by the Americans in that sector, one of the most interesting is that of a German-born sergeant who, with a small detail, took a German prisoner in a patrol fight, but lost his way, with the result'that the party wound up at the German barbed wire where they could plainly hear the Germans talking in their dugouts. The ser geant pointed a revolver at the pris oner's head and whispered in Ger man: "Maybe they'll get us before we can get back, bait if they try it 1 will kill you first. * Now don't you utter a sound and lead us back to our line." The German prisoners silently led the Americans back to their own trenches, and then was turned over to the intelligence officers of the unit, who gained much valuable in formation from him. Ash Problem to Come Up Again Before Council Commissioner Hassler said he will bring up the question of awarding a ontract for ash collections again at the meeting of Council to-morrow although he admitted, he had no def inite asurance that funds had been found available to provide the addi tional 120,000 to be added to the appropriation for the work. Members of Council, in speaking ofth e public comfort station to be erected in Market Square, said, the improvement will probably be post poned until the war is over. Not Certain if River Coal Can Be Taxed by City While members of council to-day said they favored a tax on the river coal industry in the city, they said they would first take up the question with the city solicitor's office to learn whether they can take such action. It is probable that if it is found that the city can legally tax the owners of coal fleets, the revenue will be derived as wharfage tax. In speaking of the methey to-day one of the commissioners intimated the decision, to tax the owners may ne cessitate the construction of a wharf —probably on the west side of th< island.

[ I" I I HAYS TO DIRECT 1918 CAMPAIGN TO WIN HOUSE Republican National Chair man Will Take Charge of Doubtful Districts Washington, March 4.—Co-opera tion between the Republican Nation al Committee, under the leadership of Will H. Hays, and the National Republican Congressional Commit ter in the effort of the minority in Congress to organize the new House will be more, much more, than a word. To Mr. Hays "co-operation" is dellnetfl as combined effort, and for that reason the chairman will make a trip throughout the country for the purpose of aiding the fight of the party to regain a stronghold this year in Congress. When Mr. Hays on his recent trip to Washington succeeded in dispers ing the clouds of suspicion and petty jealousy which has caused more or less bitter differences of opinion and lack of co-operation be tween the National and Congression al committees, leaders of the party hailed his accomplishment as a work which undoubtedly would have good effect in the congressional con- test. But it is safer, to suy that no| one, not even powerful leaders, ex- ! pected such an active program as j has been mapped out in the last few days. Hays to Work In Districts No one supposed, for instance, that Mr. Hays would take personal charge of the tight In doubtful con gressional districts, where he be lieves a strong organizer will be needed to assure success to the Re publican candidates. That is what Mr. Hays intends to do, and he is go ing to start the work in the near future, while Representatives are busy here with war legislation. The National Committee will ar range >a speaking campaign, and speakers representing the National The Japanese Way to Remove Corns Doesn't Hurt a Bit—Easy and Simple The Magic Touch of Ice-Mint Does It.
