President Wil Houses will be informed, as a result of where the administration stands on. disputed points. The age limits to 21 to 27, fixed in the Senate bill, are pre ferred by the administration since they more nearly approximate the desire of the War Department for age limits of from 19 to 25 years. The limits from 21 to 40, fixed by the House bill, are unsatisfactory to the administration. I A date for the registration of those liable for service will not be formally. fixed by the President until the bill has been perfected in both Houses. Until that time the campaign will be undertaken to recruit the, regular army and the National Guard ' up to full war strength. The Senate last night, by a unani mous vote, passed a resolution pro viding for the transfer of title, and possession of enemy ships in Ameri can ports and their use in commerce under direction of the shipping board. Tho Brazilian government issued a proclamation of neutrality yesterday in respect to the war between the United States and Germany. that is entirely new. Perle Derby, in the late song hits, received many rounds of applause. But coming down to the real big number it was a cldg dancing num-' bcr three men, the dancingest gents that have come this way. Their h act received wild applause, and they were recalled livo times on the first even ing performance. This big show goes on for the last, times today. And an important and enjoyable feature is the niftiest scenery and some of the very prettiest costumes of the entire year. An entirely new bill, with a mam moth Fox comedy, goes on tomorrow. NOTED DANCER IN "LOVE'S LAW." Joan Sawyer makes her debut as a dramatic artist in the latest Wil liam Fox release, "Love's Law." The noted dancer plays the part of a girl who forsakes a career which is certain to bring fame and fortune, to rejoin her gypsy lover in the wilderness. Stuart Holmes, noted Fox villain, plays his first sympathetic role, that of Andre, the gypsy. Innocent (Miss Sawyer), after be ing cast off by her wealthy uncle, wanders into the forest and is found by Andre, who is the guiding force of a large band of gypsies. The man takss his prisoner against her will, but she is liberated by Rosella (Olga Gray), a girl who loves Andre her self. , In escaping, Innocent mets Standish Driscoll, son of her wealthy uncle (Leo Delaney), who immediately falls in love with her. But Andre over takes her and brings her back to the camp. It is there that she gives the first evidence of her marvelous danc ing abilities by performing an intri cate step around the gypsy camp-fire; Another escape brings Innocent to the city. There she cultivates her talents and soon, under the name of Moner Moyer, she achieves fame. Standish Driscoll still loves her and wants to marry her, but the girl is finally brought to a realization that she loves the big gypsy of the forests. So she forsakes her career and re- turns to the hills. "J,oYe? Uvy," at h? Grand Tomorrow. Wilmingtonian Advocates Raising Such and Tells of Jts Food Value. - - ( Dear Mr. Editor: Our. very honor able Governor, Mr. Bickett, seems to realize that all wars, like the great Napoleon has said, are fought,, in a large measure, upon the stomach of me soiaiers. auu me nations uuw ax war have come to the conclusion that the quickest way to conquer is not only through the stomach of the sol dier, but includes the population as well, because they realize that if the food supply can be cut off then the ability to resist will be ended. Thera is one stap.e food that is bet- ter adapted to the South than anyiIooa resources with -special reierence otner part or tne country, ana tnat is sweet yuLittuea. 11 is ma iiiusl i. i. tj. - t complete food that is produced byjitors fifty women's publications man from the soil. It requires ho sea-!and asked them to help with the soning, but is ready for the table as i Agricultural Department's household soon as it is cooked. I have grown them during a period of 25 years, planting from, one to ten acres a year, and have found that the soil of New Hanover county, with ordinary fertilizer, will produce,, on an average, about 150 bushels per acre. Now suppose, which can be done, 1,000 acres were planted in New Hanover county. That would meani 150,000 bushels of sweet potatoes. Then let a large part of them be canned, which would give work to every man, woman and child that was not otherwise employed. A good deal of the rotting of potatoes after they are housed is caused by the .careless manner in which they are handled. I experimented a good deal and found a method by which I have kept po tatoes almost the year round, which I will give in a future article. From the 15th of May until the middle of June is the best time to set out the sprouts. Then after that the. vines ought to be set out. As a rulej potatoes grown from the vine keep better than potatoes grown from sprouts. It is a well-known fact that Irish potatoes form the chief food of a large part of the population of Ire land and to prove that the food value of sweet potatoes are far superior to Irish potatoes I asked Mr. George F. Catlett, city Chemist, to give me the food value of sweet potatoes and Irish potatoes, which he very kindly did, and I hand you the information in the form of a letter he gave me, and which I append. Yours very respectfully, D. J. FERGUS. April 25, 1917. Mr. D. J. Fergus, City. Dear Mr. Fergus: Replying to your request for information in regard to the food value of sweet potatoes, I would say that the sweet potato is a very valuable food, and in some re spects of higher value than the Irish potato. Potatoes belong to the class of food valuable on account of the carbohy drates (starches, sugars, etc.) con tained therein. For the nutrition of the animal body it is necessary to have nitrogenous matter (protein), fats, carbohydrates and mineral mat ter. All of these, except mineral mat ter, furnish heat and energy to carry on life. When we use coal in a boiler we convert it into heat and energy and we rate its value as a fuel ac cording to the amount of heatj that can be secured from it. The ac tion of the animal body is similar, the main difference being that here the combusion is slower, the smaller amount of heat being generated over a longer period of time, and simi lar amounts being converted into energy. We rate this animal fuel (food) by the heat available in the same way. The unit measure of heat is the calorie, which is the amount of heat required to raise 1,000 grams of water 1 degree centrigrade. The effect on protein (meat, etc.) is to generate heat, but its principal function is to replace lost body tis sue. When it is utilized in excess of what is required for this purpose, heat and energy are secured but the elimination of waste products over taxes the means provided for this purpose and vorks harm. We should then, under ideal conditions, con sum about a quarter of a pound of protein food, a day, and make up the remaining 3,000 calories of heat re quired by the average man, with car bohydrates and fats. This will give an idea of the importance of carbo hydrates as a food. The most important of the sources of , carbohydrates is the breadstuff s, fand second to it is potatoes. In coun tries not suited to the production of large grain crops, potatoes may as sume more importance. The United States in 1915 used 359,000,000 bush els of potatoes, mostly Irish potatoes. Sweet potatoes were introduced into Si.. -4 A. - it Ti The Wil Pajper mews Today f Federal , Trade . Commission Holds Conference With State Representatives j (By Associated Press.) toy v,eor8c ri. .

The Isle of Man, its name notwith standing, was one of the first place in the world to grant suffrage to women. J j Europe earlier than the white or j Irish potatoes and were formerly so j commonly grown in the warmer I countries of Europe that when the white potatoes supplanted them the latter took its English name from a J corruption of the European name of sweet potatoes batatas. Since then however, they have fallen out of use in Europe, it is said, because they are considered too sweet for vege tables and not sweet enough to take ! the place of cakes, sweet fruits, etc in case of food scarcitv. that which appeals to the palate becomes secon dary to the life-sustaining qualities and here the sweet potato can cer tainly hold its own, as the following Jigures will indicate: Carbohy- Fuel Water. Pet. drates. Value Pet. Per Lb. Calories. Sweet potatoes (edible portion) 69 Sweet potatoes (as purchased) 55 Irish potatoes (edible portion) 78 Irish potatoes (as purchased) 63 26 560 22 450 18 375 15 305 It will be observed that the sweet potato-has less water, and more car bohydrates and fuel value than the Irish potato. The chief difference is that the proportion of sugar to starch in the sweet potato is greater than in the case of the Irish potato, the .proportion being greater the warmer fhe climate in which they are pro duced and the length of time stored. Both are carbohydrates and, in a gen eral way, produce the same results as C. .food. A. great disadvantage that the sweet potato has' is that it does not stand stora ge and transportation so well. Canning is d way out of this, and such industry has grown to considerable proportion. Good literature on sweet potato growing, curing and handling can be obtained from the U. S. Department of Agriculture, particularly Farmers' Bulletins Nos. 324 and 548, and De partment of Agriculture Bulletin No. 468. I agree with you that it would be a splendid thing for the farmers of the South to plant large crops of sweet potatoes for a future food shortage. Very truly yours, GEO. F. CATLETT.

The department hill ronnrtod hv a maiofitr of the Militarir flnmmittPA remains intact, : . with the exception of three amend ments, to wit: "1. Changing the ages from 19 to 25 to that of 21 to 40 "2. Providing for t?ie organization of State or Territorial units. "3. Providing for an opportunity to volunteer during the time that it will require to put into operation the machinery of the bill requiring reg istratidh of all available for" military service in connection with this act. I think these amendments wise and proper, and I shall heartily sup port them as reported by the "commit tee. -"The bill framed by the War De partment would snatch from the pa rental roof, immature, inexperienced infants, and force them to go into a strange land among strangers, and perchance, be sent to the European trenches, to die. I am unalterably opposed to this proposition, and I re spectfully submit that the proper way to organize our military forces is to allow them to be organized in State and Territorial units, whereby they will be kept with their boyhood asso- lcates and friends. If a young man is required to serve in the army, it will make it very much less burden some for him to go with friends and comrades of his home section, then he sent hundreds of miles away from home and go out with strangers. If at actual warfare, he will have the consolation of realizing that in case of being wounded or killed, he will have friends from his home to com municate with his loved Vnes. "It is practically agreed that unani mous sentiment of the House will be to accept these two amendments. The controversy, therefore, unon the pending bill, seems to hinge around the amendment proposed by the com mittee, authorizing the President to call for 300,000 volunteers and in the event that it becomes necessary, to raise an additional force of 500.000 volunteers during the time in which the military census is being taken. I am heartily and unreservedly in favor of it; l see absolutely no objection to this amendment. It does not in terfere in any way, with the power of the President, . upon completion of the registration of those who are li able to military duty, to get them bv selective draft, if a sufficient number does not volunteer. Why deny the privilege of any citizen of this land of freedom and liberty of an oppor tunity of tendering his services to the government? It seems to me it would be undemocratic, unwise sub versive of the very principle of our government to deny them that privi lege. The War Department is will ing to accept the volunteer system in increasing the regular Army and National Guard to its maximum ware strength, and then in the event they fail to get the necessary recruits un der that system, this bill gives them authority to draft them. Why should they not be willing to accept the same provisions in connection with the rais ing of the 500,000 additional incre ments To do otherwise, would re verse tha policy of this country from its foundation. I hope, that in com pounding the medicine to suppress Prussian aristocracy, we will not, in doing so, contract the same disease that we desire to subdue. "I believe a soldier who volunteers, with love of. country In his heart, pa triotism in his soul and a flame of spirit burning within him that prompts the desire to sacrifice and serve his country, and if needs be, die for it, should not be blotted from the pages of future American history. "I believe we all realize to the full est extent, that the army we now have is totally inadequate to the needs of the country and we are of one accord, in favor of giving to our great President, Commander-in-chief of our Armies, as many men as may be necessary for military purposes in this crucial hour of our Nation, if the men fail to respond, then the Presi- xlenir "H3.ll haver authority immediately the Associated Press, and Dispatch 6 Lime Stick of wm Makes the Whole World Kin I No climate affects it for the package protects it.
