Princeton Ky April 18 — “I’se
thinkin’ uv de purty close dem udder
boys’ll git to wear” was the woeful
statement that summed up the disap-
pointment of lieslie George a negro
draft registrant when a train bear-
ing Caldewll county Kentucky ne-
gro selects pulled out for Camp
Zachary Taylor Louisville leaving
George behind
George recently passed the physi-
cal examination with flying colors
The local board however ruled that
because George was a skilled farm
hand the scarcity of such laborers
necessitated his remaining here "You
may go to war after the harvest” the
board told George
Presenting himself at the station
with the intention of boarding the
train notwithstanding the board’s
verdict the negro wept bitterly be-
cause permission to entrain was re-
fused Members of the board made at-
tempts to console George but their ef-
forts were vainly spent George’s sor-
row was like that of a heart-broken
lover

against under-estimating the recup-
erative power of the Germans who
already are preparing to continue aft-

quiet commercial penetration in for-
eign markets is given in a report

dle Europe is going to continue to
dream the dreams of a German
world”

tries that have been in a state of war

bill making the change
Wheat at $250 per bm-lul was ad-

ALLIES DEMAND
MORE CEREALS
American Meat Restrictions Re-
laxed to Effect Greater
Wheat Savings
ARGENTINE ARRIVALS SHORT
Meat Supply Here Considerably En-
larged — Food Administration
Howover Warns Against
Waste
The allies have made further and
Increased demands for breadstuffs
these enlarged demands being caused
to some degree by shortage in arrivals
from the Argentine It is therefore
necessary for the U 8 Food Adminis-
tration to nrge a still further reduction
In the consumption of bread and breed-
stuff generally if we are to meet our
export necessities The Food Admin-
istration has Issued s statement ex-
plaining the situation in detail partic-
ularly ths reasons which lead it for
the purpose of centering effort for the
time being upon the cereal situation
to relax temporarily the restrictions on
meat consumption
Experience shows this statement
says that the consumption of bread-
stuffs is Intimately associated with ths
consumption of meat For various
reasons our supplies of meat for tbs
next two or three months are consid-
erably enlarged end we can supply the
allies with ell of ths meat products
which transportation facilities render
possible and at the tame time some-
what increase our owi consumption
In these circumstances the Food Ad-
ministration considers it wise to relax
the voluntary restrictions on meat con-
sumption to soma extent with a view
to further decreasing bread consump-
tion t
Conservation of food must he ad-
justed to meet necessities from time to
time for neither production nor al-
lied demands are constant factors nor
can any of these factors he anticipated
for long periods In advance In the dis-
turbed conditions la which we at pres-
ent live While the world situation is
not one that warrants any relaxation
in the efforts to eliminate waste or to
relax economy In food the Adminis-
tration desires te secure better adjust-
ment in food balances
So long as the present conditions
continue the only apodal restrictions
we ask are the beeflees and porkieea
Tuesday
The meatless meal sad the porklees
Saturday are no longer asked
The farmers of the United States
are respoadlng te the national call to
Increase bog production Their In-
crease to all appearances is being at-
tained more rapidly Of more Imme-
diate Importance however are several
complex factors which have effected
an Immediate Increase in meet sup-
plies The transportation shortage before
the government took over ' the rail-
roads the had weather in January and
early in February the large percent
ago of Immature earn in ths last har-
vest and the necessity of feeding this
corn as rapidly as possible to save It
from decay have not only resulted In
backlog up the animals — particularly
bogs — on the farms for a longer pe-
riod of feeding but have resulted In a
great lucrease In their average weight
and will result with Improved trans-
portation conditions which already ap-
pear in larger than normal arrivals at
market for the next two or three
months The weight of hogs coming
to tlie market for the past two weeks
indicates on increase in weight of
from an average of 203 pounds last
year to the almost unprecedented
average of 232 pounds or a net In-
crease In their meat value of over 15
per cent This Is a distinct addition
to the nation's meat supply It there-
fore now seems certain that we have
such enlarged supplies for at least
some months to come that we can not
only Increase our exports to the allies
to the full extent of their transporta-
tion facilities but at the same time
can properly increase our domestic
consumption
The response of the public to our re-
quests for reduced consumption of
meat during the past few month has
been most gratifying and this service
alone has enabled the government dur-
ing this period to provide such sup-
pile as transportation to ths allies
permitted
The Administration also suggests
that In those parte of the country
where the old fashioned home preser-
vation of pork is soil the custom this
practice should be extended at the
present time as It will relieve the bur-
den upon transportation to and from
the packing houses and is economical-
ly sound as saving the cost of packing
operations and at the same time will
provide home supplies of pork to last
over the months of decreased supplies
The Food Administration desires to
repeat that It does not want to give
the Impression that these are times
when simplicity and moderation of liv-
ing are not critically necessary but
that its sole desire la to secure an ad-
justment between oar different food
supplies end meet changing conditions
from time to time and to keep the pub-
lic fully and frankly advised of Its
position with the full confidence nn-i
reliance that whenever it heronn-H nee
essary renewed appeals for fttnlna v 1 1 -met
the same loyal response as in tin
past

Katrina ' flung her book on the
ground and sprang to her feet Impa-
tiently ' ' '
"I’m a fool” she told herself cross-
ly “ stupid silly girl 1 1 came here to
get away 'from Carter — because I
thought I hated him— and I’ve never
passed such a miserable ‘Week in my
life I”
“Hello 1” piped a shrill childish voiee
near her Katrina looked around and
saw a small ragged little girl regard-
ing her intently ! ’ :
“I live over the hill in the gray
house” she began by way of Introduc-
tion “I seen you slttln here yester-
day and yon looked so sad that I
thought maybe you got some trouble
too”
Katrina smiled “How old are you?”
she asked with more interest 1 -“I
ain’t sure Ma says I’m nine and
Pa says ten There’s so many of us
we get mixed We got eleven In ail
countin' my cousin that spends a week
with us once a year an Joe when he
marries Moilie— If they do get married
now That’s another trouble”
“Is your sister engaged I”
“Well she’s been heeping company
with Joe but they’ve broke up now
Ma says It’s all foolishness and she’s
awful upset cause she thought she’d
got Mollle off her bands for keeps And
Mollle cries and says she hates him
and she won’t ever get married to no
onet 1 gotter go now it’s supper
time 1 guess I’ll be round tomorrow
I f I get time My name’ Elfreda af-
ter ray aunt that died Good-by”
The next afternoon Elfreda ’ came
again’ She was fairly bursting with
excitement
“What do you think has happened 7”
And without waiting for an answer
she went on: “Mollle’s made It up with
Joe and they’re goln’ to be married
Ain’t it grand?”
“Indeed it is dear- How did it hap-
pen r
“Yesterday when Moilie waa over to
her place to work the lady was all
broke up because a young feller she
knew had gone away from home to
stay always because some girl give
him the slip An’ she told Mollle If
folks would have more sense such
things wouldn’t happen When Mollle
come home she said I could take a note
to Joe an’ I did an be grinned and
said I was a good girl He gave me a
penny too!”
For a moment there waa silence
then the child seised Katrina and
pointed at two figures crossing a near-
by field The man had bis arm about
tie girl and their faces were radiant
“That’s them!” whispered Elfreda
“Ain’t they made it up great!”
“Will you mall a letter for me on
your way homer asked Katrina “It
won’t take me a second to write”
It was dusk in the field by the old
apple tree hut Katrina had forgotten
all about time She was thinking that
the letter ought to' reach Carter the
next evening - Would he comet Wear-
ily she leaned her head against the
tree sad closed her by”-!
Unseen by her young officer hur-
ried across the field towards the rustic
seat When be was quite near he
called cheerfully': “Wake up and
speak to me I” Katrina opened her
eyes and for a moment gazed at him
dazedly Then light dawned and she
sprang to her feet
“Why Carter!” she cried “You got
your commission ! Oh isn’t It wonder-
ful But whnt mode you come? Tell
mo quickly please”
“Well you see I Just couldn’t keep
away I've missed juu so und I've hat-
ed myself terribly and then yester-
day I got my commission und I’ll have
to go uuuy and I hnd to see if you
nou1U go with uie — I knew you would
never send for me so I came”
’But I did send for you — the letter
went an hour ugo And I begged you
to come — shamelessly I did !”
His arms went about her
“What made you do It dearest?” he
Dflkcd bOT
- “A ragged dirty little girl She
made me feel so mean and lonely aad
miserable that there wasn’t anything
else for me to do!” Then her voice
changed and abe caught her breath
In a sob “Oh Carter I’ve missed you
ao dreadfully! There hasn’t been a
night when I have not cried myself to
sleep and Aunt Alice thinks 1 am per-
fectly mad I know Please never leave
me again — please!”
“I guess not ! We’ll be married the
minute we get home !”
The next day Elfreda called to ask
Katrina to come to Maine’s wedding
Tm sorry dear but I'm going borne
—to my own wedding” she told her
“How will I do for a husband?” ask-
ed Carter with mock fear In his voice
Elfreda looked him over appraising-
ly “Well I guess you’re all right but
Of course you ain’t Joe!” 1
i Katrina and Carter laughed hap-
pily “Here’s a present for Mollis” prof-
fered Katrina slipping a bracelet from
her arm “And I hope she’ll be
happy as I am !’

London April 19 — (Correspond-
ence of The Associated Press) — How
Sergeant William Grim bald eston of
the King’s Own Scottish Borderers
though armed only with one bomb
captured thirty-six Germans with six
machine-guns and a trench mortar
and thereby won the Victoria Cross
is thus told in an official narrative:
"During the course of an attack
Sergeant Grimbaldeston noticed that
the advance of the battalion on his
left was being checked by heavy ma-
chine gun fire from a large block-
house He at once collected four
rifle-grenadiers and instructed them
to open as rapid a fire as possible on
the block-house thus assisting one of
our trench mortar batteries which
was also concentrating on the same
target
“The ground between him and the
block-house was open and entirely
devoid of cover In spite of this he
made his way across it in a series
of rushes followed closely by his
small band of riflemen
“Under a hall of bullets from the
enemy machine guns and armed with
only one hand grenade he worked his
way round to the entrance at the rear
of the blockhouse With this solitary
weapon he suddenly appeared in the
midst of the enemy and persuaded
each gun team in turn to lay down
its arms
“So it happened that thirty-six
Germans with their six machine
guns and a trench mortar surrend-
ered to one British soldier and a
bomb By his bravery and initiative
he was thus responsible for the cap-
ture of this stronghold with its de-
fenders and at the same time pre-
vented what threatened to become a
critical situation '
