SAVING STOCK FROM DESTRUC
* * TION OF TRAINS 13
URGED.--:
The food administration is overlook-
ing no phase of the work of conserve I
----ins. And ial watching food from the
time it is put Into the ground, or Is
: horn, as the ease may be, to see that
at no stage net ween that time and
when it shall reach the consumer,
there is no unnecessary waste. Even
when ft has reached the consumer
the administration does not relinquish
all claimto its supervision, and keeps
up its constant and increasingly er-
fecfc ve watch.
A phase of the work which has re-
cently received a good deal of atten-
tion is that of keeping live stock off
railroad right-of-ways; and in this the
administration is rec eh ng the hearty
* cooperation of the railroads.
’ The following bufietms and letters
on the subject are worthy of the
closest attention:

But the Boche had been too cau-

safely out of sight behind his lines.
Meanwhile the rest of the squadron,
without having been able to descend
low enough for photographic . obser-
vation, had wheeled about in the
other direction and were already
mere specks in the northern sky.
The reason for their retreat was
soon obvious: it was first announc-
ed by a great increase of the drom
ing sound that filled the air and
then by the sight of a wedge-shap-

It ended with an explosion about
300 yards away, kicking up a

started, giving an impression that
the shell was in a furious hurry to

where the next one would fall.

Beaumont, Texas, Jan. 22.—-The
shipyards strike in Beaumont has been
called off and the men returned to
work Tuesday afternoon. The decision
to call off the strike was reached af-
ter a conference with Mediator Rog-

would go back to work at the old scale
of wages they would receive any ad-
vance the government might decide to
make being paid the new scale from
the time they returned to work. This
action resulted in the resumption of
work in the Plaggio and Tarver ship-
