GET THE WHOLE STORY.
Some revelations have been made by
Secretary Lansing regarding the op
erations of the agents of the German
' government in this country. They" Jibe
with what the people of the United
, States had reason to expect. There
. have been inklings at different times
which prepared the people -for just
J such disclosures as have been made.
it was therefore not in the nature of a
, surprise when ' it was shown that the
government had the facts and that it
had possessed them for seme consid
erable time. ,
Sit in- connection therewith it has
been shown that there . are those in
- this country, some of whom may be
subjects of Germany but others who
are not. who are the tools of the ene
my.. They are lending their assistance
.to the support of schemes and' the
spreading of propaganda' which are
directly against the interest's and safe
ty of this nation.
It is high time therefore that every
. effort was made to carry the disclos
ures which have been made further. It
ought to be known what organization
it la and who the members of it are
that Count Bernstorff was able to buy
and upon whom he was anxious to
spend more German money in order
to bring the desired in9uence to bear
upon congress. If no member of con
gress has participated in ..this dirty
work no member of congress ought to
fear an investigation, but the whole
light ought to be turned on arid it
ought to be done now.
HELPING IN TWO WAYS.
wnile the recent advance of the
British on the western front is .char
acterized by Field Marshal Haig as
one of the greatest among recent vic
tories it is apparent that it is bound
to serve a twofold purpose.
The British and French are doing
their utmost to push back the Teu
tonic 'army in France and "Belgium. It
is realised that the season is approach
ing when operations will have to be
suspended and efforts concentrated
upon preparations for the drive next
spring, and it is therefore important to
.accomplish what is planned for this
season as early as possible both foJ
the advantage which will accrue to
them as well as the handicap that it
will inflict upon the enemy. But while
stress is being laid upon the western
front It must be realized that the con
tinuation of activity there is one of
the effective means which tha British
and French now have for giving as
sistance both to the Italian and Rus
sian armies on their respective fronts.
A relaxation would mean the shifting
of German divisions to the Italian'
front or the releasing of troops for
tha pushing of the advance upon
Xrrlssk. But with the menace on the
western front constantly Increasing
Just so much help is being contrib
juted elsewhere. It is in accord with
! the. policy of keeping the enemy fight
Ung on ail fronts, and gradually wear
ting down bis morale and defense ;

sumption in- thla country. Sugar is
necessary for the army as well as' for
the non-combatants but the prospects
r excellent that they will have none
whatever during- two months at' least
if some- relief is not obtained.
. It is but. proper therefore that this
country should do its utmost to over
coma this situation. It has been ap
pealed" to for this much , needed com

their consumption by one-third on

portunity which is offered to almost
everyone to. dO-his hit' In a new way

ttrant'tn lAnlr er it trier wev ft Is n
y chance to economize even if there is
a prospect of a drop In the price. The
L I needs of France, should .get full con
sideration.'. .
A WARNING TO HEED.
W Germany may try to get a bit of
solace out- of-; the declaration that has
been made by Lord Rhondda, the Brit
ish food controller, when in urging the
people to a greater cooperation in the
s&vrng of feed he asserted that he
would have no compunction in plac
ing the conntry on compulsory rations.
It is possible for Germany to look up
on this position being taken as the
result of the submarine warfare which
it is conducting; for It is with the
idea- ot starving England that this
was -put into operation, and with the
threat being madeiof cutting down
the supplies it would not take much
of a twist to attribute this state cf
affairs to the Effectiveness of the U
boats.
But Lord Rhondda took .care to. In
clude in his statement -the assurance
that it is not the submarine peril
which makes the existing situation
dangerous but t,he shortage of cereals,
meats and fats, as figured by world
requirements. He - plans tn drawing
heavily from this country but at the
.tame .time he recognizes the impor
tant"' contribution wlilch can be made
by each' and .every person in England
and. the patriotic service which they
should be eager to render by contrib
uting in every way possible to the best
use of that which is on hand and that
which- will be- received. That is what
he desires but failing to get such co
operative action : a compulsory ration
will be adopted. It is a warning that
should be heeded.
THE RAILROADS' RESPONSE.
.According to figures which are pre
sented by the RailwayAge Gazette
there -is a constant increase in the
demands which are being made upon
the railroads of the country, and,
pleasing to note, the roads in spite of
the , handicap under which they are
working are making a magnificent re
sponse to the situation. It is possi
ble now to compare the statistics of
last June with those of the corres
oonding month of . last year, which
show that the freight traffic in the
country as a whole showed - an in
creae of 23 per cent, per mile of line;
an increase, of 21 per cent. p?r freight
locomotive and of 19.6 per cent, per
freiaht car, and this has been accom
plished with only 1.8 per cent more
locomotives and 3.2 per cent, more
freight cars.
This shows ' how thoroughly the
roads have realized the problems that
;ay .before them. They have proceeded
to get more out of the locomotives
which have ' increased the average
number of .miles from 6 to almost 78
Snd by the improvement in the lead
ing of the cars, the average tons per
train having been increased from 642
t 71S.
This makes it evident that what the
railroads of this country need is more
encouragement instead of increased
discouragement; and with' the govern
ment, . employes and shippers lending
Iheir full cooperation the transporta
tion needs of the country will be bet
ter taken care of. -

Yfcu are careful to observe ordinary
courtesies In your civilian life. You
would soon make yourself offensive to
all ypur friends if yon were la the.
habit of passing them withi a cold
stare or a discourteous nod.
These customary rules of good breed
ing apply in a slightly different forrr.
in the army. There is the same reason
for them in the army as in civil Mfe.
Courtesy helps to make the great
army machine run more smoothly-. It
is the outward sign that the right re-'
lations exist among officers and men.
.These right relations should be -giv
en expression both within the military
camp and outside. "Courtesy ameng
military men is indispensable to disci
pline; respect to superiors will not
be confined to obedience on duty," but
will be extended on all occasions.
( A rmv -Reenila-tlons nn.r. 4.Tl Thu obli
gation to show proper courtesy is
bind'g upon officer's just as well as
upon men. The commanding general
of the army is required to be courte
ous to you, just as you are required to
be courteous to him.
Importance of Correct Forms.
Courtesy among military - men Is
shown by speaking and acting In a
respectful manner. It is shown also
by using the correct form of recogni
tion. This correct form when meet
ing or addressing commissioned offi
cers is known as the military salute;-.
In the old days the free men o!
Europe were all allowed to carry.
weapons, and 'when they -met each
would hold up his right hand to show
that he had no weapon in it and that
they met as friends. Slafes or serfs.
however, were not allowed ro carry
weapons, and slunk pafct the free men
without making any sign. In this
way the salute came to be the symbol
orsign by which soldiers free men)
might recognize each other. Tha spar
er classes began to imitate the sol
diers in this respect, although in a
clumsy, apologetis way, and thence
crept into civil life . the cusfom of

however, kept their individual salute,
and purposely made it intricate ' and
diff.cult to learn An order that it could
be "acquired only by the constant
training of all- real soldiers received.
To this day armies have pre
served their salute and when correct
ly done it is at once recognized and
flsver mistaken for that of the civilian.
All soldiers should be cartful to exe

The civilian or the imitation soldier

The Revolutionary War-Lafayette and
the Franco-Irish Brigade.
Mr. Editor: A great deal of space
has been devoted in the papers recent
ly to what France did for the Amer
loan Colonies in the Revolutionary
war, apd particular mention has been
made of the gallant services of
Lafayettei All of this is -ery fine
and true, but it is regrettable, to say
tne least, tnat no mention has been
made of the fact that a very large
number or Lafayette's army were Irish
We have it from the best authorities,
it was one-half Irish, that is. one-
half of the men who came here from
France to help the cause of American
liberty were of the famous French
Irish brigade, commanded by Count
Arthur Dillon. This brigade made
special request for service in Ameri
ca against the British, and four regi
ments designated as "Dillon's,"
"Walsh's," Roche-Fermov." and "the
Berwick Irish," composed the com
mand that came to America, making
up over one-nan or tne wnole con
tingent. Count Arthur ..Dillon was
second in command under Count
D'Estaing at the seige of Savannah in
1779. In the attacks of the Americans
and French on Savannah, three in
number, Count Dillon played a leading
part, and Lieutenant Colonel Luke
Brown led Walsh's regiment, the cpm
mander having been killed. This va
lorous Franco-Irish brigade that came
from France had long served on the
battlefields of Europe. From the cap
itulation of Limerick to the British
in 1691, down almost to the period of
the .French Revolution, a hundred
years later, Ireland supplied an enor
mous contingent to the French armies,
the Irish troops being privileged to
maintain their distinctive organiza
tions, and being allowed even extra
pay over an'd above the French sol
diers. The old poem tells their story.
On foreigrn fields from Btinkirk to Bel
grade, Lie the soldiers and Chiefs of
the Irish brigade," supplied with men
from time to time from the green Isle
of the ocean, they kept up their or
ganization in France, and when
Lafayette called for aid for America,
they were ready to" respond, and they
did. Among their commanders were
Lmen like Count Dillon, . representing
the great union family of Mayo, Ire
land. They were the right arm of
Lafayette in the great fight for Amer
ican freedom. Ill remembering the
noted Frenchmen, why is it, they
should be forgotten in the celebra
tions? With the editor's permit, t would
like to call attention to smother chapter
of American history. Among Amer
icans of the present generation the
idea generally prevails that the ma
jority, If not all, of the pioneer settlers
in the original Thirteen Colonies we're
a- mixture of English and Dutch, and,
as a logical corollary, - the belief ob
tains that no other people had a hajtd
in laying the foundations of the coun
dering and ' meaning ' between "the
civilian, salute as used by friends in
passing, or oy servama- w lumir em
ployers, and the1 military salute, the
svmboi and sign of the military Pro
feskn." (Manual for Non-comrais-
Eioned Officers aad Privates, see. .)
Proper Way t Salute.
In order to give the salute properly
when you are without arms, first -as
b u me the position of a soldier (as
ft ascribed in s preceding, lesson), or
if you are walking carry yourself at
attention. Look at the officer yu
are to salute straight in the eyo. When
he is a few paces away from you
"raise tha right hand smartly till the
tip of the forefinger touches the lower
part eef the - head dress or forehead
above the right, eye. thumb and - fin
gere extended and joined,- palm to
the left, . forearm inclined at .About
49 degrees, hand ana wrist straixnt.
Continue, to look the Ulcer you are
Saluting straight la the eye and keep
your hand in the position of salute
until the officer acknowledges the sa
bite or until he has passed. Then
drop the hand smartly to the side.
The salute is given with the right
handonly. (Manual for MaseemmU
stanad Officers and Privates, cc. 6.) It
will be -well -for you to practice this
movement' before the looking glass
and be prepared to execute it properly
as soon as you get into uniform. It is
one of- the things that, win help to
mark you in the early days in camp
as possessing the bearing tJf a goed
soldier. When you get an opportu
nity, watch tlosely to see how regular
army men salute. Note that your hat
should be cn straight, coat complete
ly buttoned up, and hands out of the
eockets.
- You will learn tha rifle salute after
you have reached the training camp. In
general it ' is used whenever you are
carrying a rifle, except when on guard
duty, in which case you ordinarily
present arms Instead of saluting.
The exact conditions under which
the salutes are given need not be re
peated in detail here. It is enough
for the present to learn you are to sa
lute all i commissioned officers (not
merely those of your own company or
regiment or those wltn whom you are
acquainted), except when you are in a
military zormation or wnen you are
at. drill, work, games, or mess. When
in formation, you da not salute er
come to the position of attention un
less an officer speaks to you,
' Other Army Courtesies.
Never forget that it is' not only re
quired of you as a duty, but is also
your right 'and privilege, to salute all
commissioned officers and to have your
courtesy returned. This statement as
sumes, or course, that -you are in good
standing as a soldier. A military
prisoner is- not permitted to salute.
It is the custom of- the army in
speaking to an officer to stand at at
tention and use the word "sir." In all
official conversation refer to other sol
diers by their titles for example.
Sergeant Smith" or "Private Brown,
not merely l"Smith" or "Brown."
When an officer enters a room where
there are several enlisted men, the
word "attention" is given by some one
jvho perceives him, when all rise, un
cover, and remain standing ar atten
tion until the officer leaves the room
or directs, otherwise. Enlisted men at
meals stop eating and remain! sealed
at yetienrjon, tmiantry xmii .Regu
lations, par. 759.)
Salutes are not exchanged among
non -commissioned officers and enlisted
men. However, this does not mean
that you are not to treat them with
respect and . courtesy. In a general
way show them the same considera
tion that you would show to men is
corresponding positions in civil life.
try. That this Impression Is errone-
I American-Irish historical students in
to the racial composition of the
Seventeenth and Eighteenth century
immigrants, and the fact is now being
brought to light that a large propor
tion of the early settlers were descend
ants of the ancient Gaelic families ot
Ireland. Records of the land offices,
secretaries of state, or registrars of
wills and deeds, . county clerks, and
other equally authentic sources fur
nish abundant proof of early settle
ments In .this country by the vigorous
sons and daughters of Erin. In an
examination of the early records , as
well as the town and county histories
and the genealogical works, a -striking
fact presents itself to the student of
history namely, the f requeney with
which people of Irish names are men
tioned as Mhe first settlers" in this
or that town or county; . the first
Judge; governor; and so on, many ex
amples, of these Irtish "firsts" are rec
orded, and, taken as a whole, they fur
nish some interesting sidelights into
early American history. Culled from
these records : In the first voyage- made
oy sir Walter Kaleigh to Virginia,
Irishmen are referred to by Hakluyt,
the Chronicler of the expedition. The
first recorded colony to establish it
self at Newport News, Va.. came
rrom JorK, Ireland, in tne year 1621, or
only one year after the landing- of the
Pilgrims of the Mayflower, and the
nrst attempt or Europeans to estab
lish a settlement on the Merrimae
river in Massachusetts was " a, mixed
Irish artd Scotch company," which em
barked at Carrickfergus, Ireland, in
the year 1631, with "a considerable
quantity of equipment and merchan
dise:" The first settlement in the
Shenandoah Valley at Staunton, va.
where President Wilson was born,
was mad: by John Lewis from Done
gal, and the first known "schoolmaster
in the Valley was John Wilson from
County Armagh. In the first settle
ments of Georgia by Oglethorpe in
1735, Irishmen' are recorded, and the
founder of Augusta. Ga., was William
O'Bryan. The ' first two generals of
tn revolutionary army selected by
""" -Mngton were Sullivan and Richard
J' - somery from Donegal, and the
lat .-.: was the first general of. the offi
cers to fall in, battle.
The first American Privateer of the
Re-velution was the Game Cock, owned
and fitted out In 1775 at Newburyport,
Mass., by Nathaniel Tracy, son of Pat
rick Tracy from County Wexford. The
nrst voyage of an Americas shin to
Japan was by. the Franklin in 1799.
Her commander was Captain - John
Devereux- from Wexford, nephew of
Captain. John Murphy, also from Wex
ford, noted not only as an Intrepid
commander of privateers during the
war of the Revolution, but as the first
to take the -American flag through the
Mediterranean. We need not mention
Barry, who fought the last naval bat
tle of the Revolution, or Perry, tha he
ro er Lake Erie, whose mother was
from Newry, County Down. This Is
opt a short summary of Irish firsts.
'It shows that Irish blood, brain and

Potato Starch.
Bruised and otherwise unmarketable
potatoes may be used in making po-
tota starch, very desirable and health
ful food. ,
Potato starch can be used in many
ways, for food purposes, in making sal
ads, puddings, milk dishes, etc. In
every ."potate section of the country
thousands of bushels of .potatoes are
wasieo every year wmcn couia jusi
well be utilized . in making potato
starch.
Use plenty of water and a vegetable
scrubbing brush in washing the potatoes.-
Seat yourself in a convenient
position with a vessel containing po
tatoes at one side and a empty vessel
for the : gratings on the other. Place
dishpan with grater on a low. tkble and
without removing the rkins, grate your
potatoes by hand or run then through
tne sausage gnnaer. .empty graungs
into second tub or vessel.
Over the gratings pour clean water.
Stir well, so as to saturate every par
ticle of the potatoes. Allow to stand
for a little time and then remyro the
peelings and other floating materia!
from the top of the water. Stir agsin,
add a "little more clean water and al
low the same to stand for several
hours or over night. The starch gran
nies will settle to the fcottom and all
duId and potato skins will rise to the
top of ; the water or settle on top of
the atarcw granules. Kemove tne wa
ter carefully, also the pulp and ekins.
Scrape the dark coat off the top of
the starch formation, being careful not
to remove any of the starch.
A second time pour fresh," clean
water" over the starch. Stir thorough
ly. Allow to stand for several hours
or over night. " Remove water and
pulp as tefbre and add another appli
cation of water. Continue this as' often
as necessary to render your starch
perfectly, white and ipCe, nt only from
pulp, but from all sand or sediment
of any kind which is not pure starch.
This operation can be abbreviated
by rinsing the first time and then
straining the pulp, starch and water
through cheesecloth or cloth of .finer

observe the enemy's movements and
to take the necessary precautions
against any further attack.
