BRITISH CABINET MINISTER
WARNS AGAINST CANARDS
(By Associated Press)
LONDON, Keb. 16—G. N. Barnes,
Labor member of the war cabinet, in
a message to his "fellow workers in
the cause of labor,” begs them to con
tinue their steady support in the prose
cution of the war for democracy.
"Democracy,” he says, “is at one
and the same time on its trial and in
the crucible. If this war is lost by
the allies the cause of democracy is
under eclipse for generations to come.!
and we leave to our children a her!-1
tage of trouble.
‘‘Might I ask labor throughout the
country to be steady for the final
phases of the war I ask it not to be
confused by lying statements. It was
said, for instance, that there had been
meetings of financiers abroad whili
the government was refusing to allou
labor to confer with eenmy subjec
workmen. The statement was abso
lutely false. Another equally fals<
statement was that we had reftisec
to define our aims with our allies
and particularly with the revolution
ary government of Russia.”

ADOPT NEW CUSTOM
(By Associated Press)
STOCKHOLM, Feb. 16— Some ol
Christianstad’s leading citizens do nol
intend to bare their heads to winter’s
biting blasts, regardless of rules ol
courtesy. They published in the city’s
paper a notice to the effect that when
meeting acquaintances in the street
they intend "during the cold season
merely to make military salute, and
not remove the head covering. And
we request all to respond in the same
manner.”

SAN FRANCISCO, Cal., Feb. 16.
Another attempt was made recently
to adjust football differences which
exist between the University of Cali
fornia and Standford University. After
a prolonged session between the rep
resentatives of the two institutions
lasting several hours, the announce
ment was made that no progress had
been made.
Stanford stood by its offer to play
the American game in the fall if the
[ Californians would reciprocate by
playing a Rugby match in the spring
To this the Celifornians replied that,
with the elimination three years ago
of Rugby, no further interest remains
in the game and that it did not seem
possible to make up a fifteen that
would creditably represent the Blue
and Gold.
With this a*, the attitude of Cali
fornia, and Stanford still insistent that
Rugby be continued, hope of a settle
ment for the present appears to have
been abandoned.
SAN FRANCISCO, Cal., Feb. 16
Following in the footsteps of Norman
Ross, champion swimmer, Bart Coffin,
one of the best divers and swimmers
on the Pacific coast, has enrolled in
the aerial service of the United States.
Coffin’s natatorial activities included
a knowledge of motor boats and their
machinery which will stand him in
stead in the matter of handling the
mechanism of aeroplanes.
WALLA WALLA, Wash , Feb. 16.—
One of the best players on the Whit

cover ground with the use of both
feet. Garver, who is a member of the
junior class, is a sure basket shot. He
has also played football.
PORTLAND, Ore., Feb. 16.—Louis,
a younger brother of Charles Hollach

Spokane club of the Northwest league,

that with the added experience he has
gained in independent baseball cir
cuits in the last two years he will
show to advantage.

SUGGESTS GEOHSIEM
(By Associated Press)
LONDON, Feb. 16 —The British Sun
day School Union is appealing to re
ligious organizations throughout the
world to recognize 1918 as a special
‘‘children’s year.” The idea is that
all meetings and conventions through
out the year shall give the utmosi
prominence to the problems connected
with the training of the young.
The Sunday School Union’s appea
urges that ‘‘the children and young
people of the world are passing
through a psychological and splritua
crisis, and that, efforts should be madt
to inspire them with high ideals o
character and duty.

INDULGED IN
(Correspondence of Associated Press)
AMERICAN AVIATION CAMP,
SOUTHERN ITALY, Jan. 21.—The
food problem recently attained the dig
nity of a crisis here. When the United
States government arranged for the
training of Americans here it was
agreed that five lire per day should
be paid for the feeding of each avia
tion officer in the making, a sum am
ply equal to advanced food prices, con
sidering the several hundreds of men
i to be fed. A contract to feed the men j
j was let to a local restaurant propri
etor, but he became imbued with the
idea that Americans have plenty of
money and are anxious to spend it.
For many weeks the Americans, ab
sorbed in their training, accepted the
food given them. They merely went
down into their own pockets and pat
ronized the candy stores, the city, its
restaurants, but particularly the can
teen where the Italian soldiers of the
camp spent their money for drinks,
sandwiches and omelets.
Gradually the price of canteen prod
ucts rose so high that the Italian sol
diers were unable to patronize it, and
they complained to their officers.
They latter investigated jointly with
the American officers, with the result
that canteen prices were reduced 150
per cent, and the contractor in charge
of the American mess had to beg to
be given a chance to hold his contract.
This happened just before Christ
mas, and as the Americans were being"
paid off for the first time in three
j months, they persuaded their com
mander to let them all go to Rom<
and Naples and gorge themselves
There they engaged In veritable fooc
orgies. They bought candy and nut!
and cake by five-pound lots, retiring
to their rooms to eat after taking reg
ular restaurant meals. Some of th(
men were reported to have eaten sb
meals a day.
One of the features of the receptior
given at Rome by Ambassador ant
Mrs Thomas Nelson Page at the Pa
lazzo del Drago to the young men waf
a spread of cake and candy weighting
down several tables. Although al
present ate freely from the tables
their appetites seemed barely to havt
been whetted, for they were latei
found standing out in front of cand]
stores eating more cake and candy
i Several started to mass at St. Peter's,
but were unable to get any farther
than a restaurant facing the church.
