WAS CAUSE UGK OF FOOD? —— , A Deputy Atiigm "Lack of Food" A* Most Probable Cause of Severe Defeat. Amsterdam.— Dr. Alexander Ws kerlc, Uie Hungarian premier, caused u sensation in parliament Saturday with a declaration regarding the Aus tro Hungarian louses In the last Ital ian offensive, according to a Budapest dispatch received here. The premier said that during the last few day* exciting rumors were being circulated regarding the losses. These rumora, he declared, were much exaggerated. The Austro-llungarlan armies were withdrawn on the I'iave front In order to spare lives, he declared, since they must have sustained very great lossea had they held that line. "Hut, how great are our losses?" Interrupted Deputy Zllnsky. "The number of prisoners token was recently stated to bo 18,000," tho pre mier replied. "I must, however, cor rect that statement. The truth is that the Italians have taken 12,000, while 60.000 Italians fell into our hands. In the coso of an offensive and a retreat this figure cannot be termed exces sively high. Much sadder Is the loss wo suffered la dead, wounded and sick; mostly sick. In the tenth and eleventh Italian offensives wo lost 80,- 000 to 100.000 men. Now, however, our losses are similar, about 100,000 men." Great excitement In the chambor marked this declaration. The premier continued: "I mention these figures In order to describe the situation with perfect sincerity. Also, because our eneinfes will certainly portray these losses In an exaggerated fashion and perhaps also our public opinion. "In tho entire advanco and retreat tho Italian losses amounted to 150,000, far surpassing our losses In dead, woundetAind sick. "A report also Is being circulated that our losses were due to a lack of ammunition." A deputy here shouted: "Lack of food!" The premlor replied to this by de claring that "our Ifrray never was so well provided with ammunition as during tho middle of June." "It Is true," tho premier added, "that of throe bridges thrown across the I'iave, the uppermost unfortunate ly collapsed and then both of the oth ers were carried away with It. Thus, unsnrmounlublo difficulties arose In bringing up provisions during tho sen sational retreat, which was followed according to the regular plan.

New York American. General Payton C. March is the authority for the state ment lint we have now 000, OX) men in France. Other figures given by him and by the Secretary of War indicate mat the rate of shipment of troops has been not less than 100,000 men a week. This makes it evident that 1,000,- 000 of our men will be either at the fighting front or somewhere in France by July I—a situation which tho Secretary of War pre dicted moro than a month ago. It is only fair and give to this fact the widest publicity and emphasis. It redounds prodig iously to ihe credit of the Secre tary of War and his aides, by whom tlicse trooj.s have been raised, organized, equipped and disputched, and to Ihe Secretary of tho Navy and his aides, under tflioso direction they have been carrii (1 across the seas without tho loss of a single man ou au Americsn transport or on a ship guardi d by an American convoy Doth records are unprecedented. The vocabulary of applause con tains no phrases adequate to ex press t he general approval of 1 liese achievements of tho War and Navy departments. If tho American people them selves were incredulous of the ability of these two departments to accomplish so great a task in such brief time, what must be the opinion of our enemies who see themselves in a way to be over whelmed by this Hood of fresh fighting men From the outset the tleiman authorities have protested that American participation in tho war would necessarily be negligible They had every reason to believe this, and while nouie of their con temptuous disregard of our power was undoubtedly assumtd for the purpose of heartening up their lighting men, their altitude was in the main based upon our stale of uifpreparetlness, our lack til ships ami the expected prowess of their own submarines. They rcoeoned from false preui | ises. Our uiiprepareduess, inde fensible as it was, was corrected by American adaptability and energy. , It was corrected because ineu of ibility, energy and zeal headed our executive departments. Sec retary Maker, confronted by an appalling lask, mado our army of a million iu a space of time that no other nation on earth would havo found adequate iu the under taking. Though we lacked ships, we found them. We scraped the coastwise routes, the lakes, and even coasting lines on the other side of the Atlantic for ships to be put to this use" We put into ser vice the German liners interned here, after a urprisingly brief time spent in the repairing of ma chinery treacherously wrecked by their German'crews. As for the submarines, and the part they have played iu interfer ing with the carriage of our troops to France, it is quite sufficient to r'iterate the statement that they have not yet sunk an Americau trauspoit on its way lo Europe, nor a transport of any nationality C trryiug our troops and convoyed by our men of war. Could any tribute to'the ability of Secretary Daniels be more eloquent? In exulting over the unparallel- Rtl record of efficiency, wo must not permit it to dull our sense of the perils of the situation iu which this war found us. We were in deed practically without an army, wi|h au inadequate navy antl with no merchant m trine. The Hearst papers discerned tho dauger of this situation years ago fud have beou pleading earn estly antl steadily for tho creation of a mighty navy, for universal military service, ami for the up building of our merchant marine. Had their efforts uot fallen upon deaf ears, had the government.ao quiesced in a programme of such obvious wisdom and prudence, wo should have attained our present |>osition as au effective factor iu the war iu one-lmlf the time it lius now taken." That would have brought the end of the war well within vision at the present time. Kvoti today it is appareut that this constant Hood of American troops fore shadows the early defeat of tho Teuton. Already it is said to havo restored the balance between tho two warriug armies on the Freuch battle front, where the Russian collapse had resulted in giving to the Germans for a weeks the ad vantage of superiority, in num bers. Even with tint superiority they have won but little except an expanse of devastated terri tory. With lOU.OGo new Ameri cans a week rushed to the front,- their chances of turning their drive into a decisive victory grow loan and less daily. The members of the Adurnis tration at Washingtou, whose ef forts have conduced so greatly toward this osnuraiice of au early victory, need not relax those efforts, while at the same time they give soma thought to the maintenance of this country's de fenses, after peace shall come at such a point that the lueuaeo of two years ago may nevor con front us. The Secretary of the Navy, with the strong support of Ihe Presi dent, has already offered his "propositions for maintaining the regular establishment on a |»eaco 1 footing at a standard that will ! make it adequate to meet'auy pos sible perils. The American has 'already discussed and warmly up held Secretary Daniels' propositi We trust that- in the immediate filluro we may find the War De part ment gettiug behind Senator Chamberlain's measure for nni- Vewal training and securing its enactment into law. Only BO can we At ourselves to defend our country against such another out break of war spirit as has racked the world for th« last four years. Net a great standing array, but a citizenry universally trained to arum and ready to respond to the country's call is the truly demo cratic method of national In tbo meantime the nation says to ot'r lint million in France : God speed you to victory! In the briefest space possible we shall speed you other millions still if they shall be needed to make the world safe for democracy. SAVE SUGAR CANNING fuggestions From the Home Demon stration Agent. .lane S. McKimmon, Stato llomo Demount ration Agent. All fruits and berries are much better in flavor when canned with a certain amount of sugar, but it is not necessary I hat enough sugar should be used to ntrke the fruit us sweet as may bo desirable when it is served for the table. y There is a serious shortage of. sugar' at. present, which means that every housewile must be as economical of its use in canning ami preserving as is possible. In stead of the heavy syrups former ly used, take 1 gallon of water and boil it with 1 pint (1 pound) of sugar (imil the sugar is dis solved, and add this to the fruit or berries after they have been packed for canniug. This light syrup will briug out the flavor of the fruit and mtfke the amount of sugnr necessary for a table pro duet far les* than it would be were tho fruit canned with no sugar at all. In oilier words, the use of even a small amount of sugar when cauning fruit or berries, makes it possible for a housewife to use much less sugar when she is serving the product, and the total amount used will be far less than what would havo been re quired to sweeten satisfactorily fruit canned with no sugar at all. To make certain that full ad vantage is taken of the natural sweetness and flavor of fruit or borri's, let Iltese products become thoroughly ripe before they are canned. Gather them on the same day they are to be canned and get them to the Conner as quickly as possible. For every hour that passes between the gathering and the canning of berries some of the natural sweetness is lost. Here is a good recipe for cauning black berries, dewberries, etc.: Gather the berries when ripe, but firm. Place them in amusliu sack and plunge into boiling water one minute (blanch). This will slightly soften the berries and en able you to put almost twice/as many iu a can or jar. It will also prevent that condition where ber ries rise to the lop of the jar, leav ng at least one-third of the space tilled with juice. I'ack the sterilized cjin to with in one-quarter inch of the top with berries. (A glass jar may be filled quite full). Fill the spaces and cover the berries well with a syrup made of one gallon of water and one pint of sugar. Place rub ber rintt on the jar and clamp the lop lightly. Place in canner. Process or boil quart glass jars 13 ininu'es, permitting jars to re main lightly sealed whilo pro cessing. As yo\i lift jars one at the time from the canner, seal lightly immediately. lie sure that you use a dinner or kettle with a tightly-fitting top when sterilizing your products and use nono but the best new, red rubbers for the jars.

O. s Germany Stands to Lose This Year. Review of Reviews. Terrible as the struggle has be come therefore, its significance was 'never s> apparent to all the world as it has become within the last month. The German leaders have no thought o.' any peace except what tliey call '"a good German l>eeee", to be gained ns the re ward of a smashing victory over France and England. The allies can therefore make no plans looking toward pence excepttlng through military action that will first show the world that the Germans cannot gain that smashing victory on the Wi-st front this summer, and that even if further heavy reverses should overtake the allies, that there is no chance for an accepted an J established peace in a world harmonized under German dicta tion. France, Great Britain the United States and Italy are deter mine! to co-operate so completely an.l s i generaously at this time as to withstand the desperate olow* th it are undoubtedly to be dealt under the direction of the German Kmpirar and hi* allies* and military leaders If Germany doea not win with great succea* within the next three or fojr months, ahe will have lust the war. Thl* doe* not mean that peace would assuredly be achieved during the present year, but It means that through another winter of preparation the military and naval resources the enemies of Germany would almost certainly develop and become effective In such a way as to give all the ad vantages from an aggressive stand point to the nations that are leagued togJßier for the overthrow (.' lierman power.

"I was Very Shaky From Vervousness But that Has Passed Away. Here is the story of a successful Greensboro merchant who for 33 years conducted a' shoe repairing business and has since retired. It is told in the hope that some othor persou who suffers the way he did before be fouud blessed relief may read it and lie benefitted the way he way. The story is told for publication by Mr. W. T. Dlalock who resides at 008 Union Street, Greensboro, and is promiuently connected with the Junior Older and the Workmen of the World. This is what He says: "Stomach trouble had me in its grip for a long time, it seemed Mr though nothing I ate would digest but lay like a lump of lead in iny stomach. Gas tortured me after every meal, and to add to my troubles I suffered severely from p .ins in the back, kidney trouble, headaches, and constipatioa. Although I suffered for years and tried all kinds of medicine, nothing ever did for me what 1 his new herbal medicine, Dreco, did. It is one- grand medicine. I was very shaky from nervousness and loss of sleep but that has passed iiwav like all my other troubles. "There's one thingthat couldn't be done and that is to take Dreco and fail to havo a big appetite. I have just bought another bpttle and my wife is going to start ( ik itig it."

Nothiug lays tho entire system open to the ravages of disease like a disar ranged stomach, Kidney trouble, liver complaint, headache, pains in the back, impure blood and constipation may often be traced directly to stomach trouble. Iu such cases it is foolish and useless to try to cure the cause by treating the symptoms. What is needed is a good; reliable, pure and efficient medicine that will go d'rect to the cause of the trouble anil build up from the bottom. Such a medicine is Dreco, accord ing to the hundreds of testimo nials and signed statements from men and women who have used it. Dreco is purely an herbal medi cine.

EXPECTING BATTLE - IN OLO WAR AREA FRANCE AND FLANDERB IS POSSI BLE THEATER OF ATTEMPT TO REACH PARIS. mCMfS ORDERED TO ITALY Regiment of General Pershing'* Men Have Been Ordered lb the Italian Front.

FOCH'S STRATEGY SHOWING STRONG BRITISH AND FRENCH DRIVE EN EMY BACK MORE THAN MILK BY BUDDEN STROKE. - r, ITALIANS DDE ALSO ACTIVE • S Stiff Fighting Continue* In Mountain Region* But Quiet Prevail* Along Plave River. The British troop* In Flanders and the French force* further aouth ap parently have anticipated the propos ed German drive toward the English Channel ports or Paris and struck first Although slight details of the ma neuvers thus far have been revealed, the allied troop? caught the enemy unawares at salient points, and driv ing swiftly forward, took terrain which would have been of considera ble value as the starting points of enemy attacks. The attack of the British was deliv ered about midway between Haze brouck and Bethune on a front of nearly three and a half miles ovqr territory which the German* recently have been deluging with shells. Alto gether the attack was productive of an average gain of ground to a depth of nearly a mile. It is not improb able that the Germans had set their hearts on the capture of St. Omer and the railway line running thence to Calais and Dunkirk. The stroke of the French troop* was over a still greater front—four and a half miles—and at points also penetrated enemy positions to a good ly depth, at some points a mile and a quarter. The evident intention was further to block the gateway to Part* through the Villers-Cateretts region. From Amblemy to the east of Montgobert the # French carried out their offensive and overwhelmed strongly fortified positions of tae en emy along the entire front. Beside* the beating back of the enemy, more than 1,000 Germans fell into the hand* of the attacking force. Although the points of .attack were separated by about 100 miles the ma neuvers seemingly had been well con sidered by General Foch, the allied commander-in-chief, as they were car ried out synchronously. The strategy of the double stroke is apparent when it Is realized that a successful German thrust wherethe woultf have menacSfethe channel ports or a similar move In the south would have placed the French capital in jeopardy. That the allied forces are not to be caught napping by the Germans la indicated by the lnt«helve aerial op erations that are In progress over and behind the battle line. A British official communication says that in air fighting 29 enemy airplanes were accounted for. Fourteen machines of the British failed to return to their bases.
