American Forces
Stand Well Under
Fire and Weather
(By Aaaoclated Tmt.)
With the American Army in
France, Oct. 31. The American in
the trenches and gun pit of France
saw the sun today for the first time
since taking their place in the line.
The weather was clear and cold and
a frost covered the bills during the
night. The favorable conditions gave
the gunners a better opportunity to
do shooting, the observers being able
to- spot the targets and shots.
The Germans also took advantage
of the conditions but the firing on
both side's was more or less sporadic.
. Some of the American shells burst
over the enemy trench positions. A
few German projectiles exploded near
the' American positions, sprinkling
' fragments, but doing no serious dam
age. However, more than one Amer
ican soldier was able to show dents
in his shrapnel helmet The condition
of the first wounded American arriv
ing at the base hospital is excellent
The infantry and artillerists took
advantage of the sunshine to dry their
.soaking clothing. Notwithstanding
the bad weather conditions of the last
few days, lh ire is no report of a sin
gle case of sickness resulting from
? this cause. The perfect physical con.
dition of the met is declared to be
responsible for this.
.Chicago's Meatless
Dav a Novelty for
Only Few Families
Chicago, Oct. 31. Meatless day in
Chicago was observed in holiday spirit
in this city. It was a novelty in the
majority of homes only in the sense
r it it was by government order, for
scaring prices long since had made
meatless day in the majority of homes
an economic necessity. There were
few who had not had individual ex
perience of meatless menus, even
among the wealthy, who months ago
led the voluntary movement to reduce
consumption of meat.
. Nor did hotel and restaurant menus
; appear less replete or inviting.
; One restaurant on its breakfast bill
'i had eggs in six different styles and
i l varieties of omelets.
:;.It probably would not be too much
to say that the people did not regard
' observance of the day as a depriva-
tlon, but rather as pleasurable in, its
: healthfulness, economy and culinary
delight. '
:; Japan Will Stick With
i". U. S- Until War Is Ended
' rNew York, Oct. 31. Japan's full
,' co-operation with the United States
in the world war until Germany is
crushed, was pledged by Dr. T..
" Masao, chairman of the Japanese par
' liamentry mission of five, at a lunch
eon given in honor of the mission here
tpday by the Japan society.
: "The Japanese are determined to
. co-operate with the United States un
til the last," Dr. Masao said, "and
will not stop until our monster enemy
1 Germany the pirate of the seas, the
assassin of the air and violator of all
decency on land has been completely
crushed. When this monster, enemy
of ours has been thoroughly beaten
' down, then, and then only, shall we
have a lasting peace."
Shortage of Labor
To Handle Potatoes
Alliance, Neb., Oct Jl. (Special.)
A shortage of labor is confronting
" the potato growers of western Ne-
braska. The local farm bureaus,
. through their county agents, are at
' tempting to meet the demand. Help
ers are being brought from Omaha,
Lincoln and Cheyenne into Kimball
county. Some northwestern counties
are using Indians from the Pine
. Ridge reservation. The Indians are
proving efficient in harvesting the
, potato crop, and are most faithful
workers when given a square deal.

Bad Weather No Handicap to Nation-Wide Drive to Effect
Conservation in American Homes; Pro-German
Propaganda Prevents Some From Sign
ing; Italians Laud Effort.
(Br Auoctated Pro.)
Washington, Oct. 31. Despite the handicap of bad
weather, the food administration had obtained tonight more
than 864,000 signatures to food pledge cards in the first two
days of its intensive pledge campaign throughout the country.
This total was contained in reports from about half of the
states.
10,000,000 IS AIM.
The aim for the week is to enroll
10,000,000 families. Yesterday and
today added to those previously ob
tained make a grand total of 2,605,000.
Maine led the states tonight with a
total of 90,000 cards signed in two
days.
PRO-GERMANS GET BUSY.
Pro-German propaganda, the food
administration announced tonight, is
hampering tl.e work of volunteers in
some states. Housewives, it was de
clared, have been told that if they
sign the cards the government will
seize their household stores for the
army.
Follow Italy's Example.
Ambassador Di Cellere of Italy in
a statement today expresses the hope
of his people that food pledge week
will be a sucrTess, He appeals not
only to Ame:ican-born citizens, but to
Italian-born men and women in the
United States to follow the example
of those still in Italy in thrift and fru
gality. "Through the efficient co-operation
of all who live in this country a satis
factory solution of the -food problem
of the world will surely be reached,"
said the ambassador, "and I have no
doubt that the qualities of thrift and
frugality which have been character
istic of the Italian colonies in Amer
ica will prove an asset to this country
in its treat and noble fight for the
common cause for justice and democ
racy.
World-Wide Importance.
Ambassador Bakhmeteff of Rus
sia said that the necessity of state
regulation' of economic activities of a
country, wlii'c in war is one of the
most obvious experiences of the war.
"It is most gratifying that the
United States has deliberately used
the experiences o( the European coun
tries, he said, and has adopted a
policy of general regulations since the
beginning of military operations. The
proper food regulation is especially
important, owing to the fact that the
control of food is not merely a na
tional problem for this country, but
has become a question of world-wide
importance."

Administration Supervision of
Operation, Effective Novem
ber 1, Will Have Little
Effect Upon Omaha.
New York, Oct. 31. Administra
tive supervision over the operation of
all flour mills in the United States
will be assumed by the milling divi
sion of the United States food admin
istration, effective November 1, it was
announced here today. This action
will be taken under President Wil
son's proclamation of October 8.
Since September 10 the milling di
vision has exercised control over the
wheat supply, operation and rate of
profit of the operators of all the large
mills through their voluntary agree
ment, but plants under 100 barrels
capacity daily have been exempt. Be
ginning Thursday, every mill will be
required to report its operation, there
by increasing the assurance, the mill
ing division points out, that flour will
be manufacturm and sold with the
least possible economic loss.
In supcrv.Mn? the operation of all
fl-mr mills as ?anoi.r.ced torhy t!,c
milling div ston Roes a step further
.hsr the ?r.c it took yesterday, when
it was made Vnown that similar super
vision was to be exercised ov?r a.l
wheat flour wholesalers, retailers,
bioKers, agents and others who, acting
as jobbers, do a business in excess of
$100,(XX) a year. These include mills
which have jobbing departments. The
supervision announced today will
affect all rlour mills, large and small,
regardless of whether they have job
bing departments.
Little Effect Here.
The licensing of corn mills as now
proposed will have no effect upon
Omaha manufacturing concerns, as
there are no corn mills here. The
wheat mills, of which Omaha has a
number, were licensed about Septem
ber 1. and have been operating under
the license system since tllat time.
Millers here say the regulations are
not so stringent but that they can
live up to them readily and without
much difficulty.
"The regulations arc fair to all par
ties concerned," said H. K. Schafer,
general manager of the Maney Mill
ing company. "We operate under cer
tain specifications, that is all."
Since corn has become so important
a part of human diet through the
agitation of wheatless day:., and the
agitatioi. for the saving of wheat tor

it is necessary to license the corn-
mills also and put them under reg
ulations. Mtlliers Satisfied.
I Under the license of the wheat mil
lers, the millers are to have a net
I profit of J5 cents per barrel. Milers
I generally are well satisfied with this,
j Chatincey Abbott, jr.,- of- Schuyler,
memher ot the national committee on
milling under the federal food ad
ministration, when he was in Omaha
recently said that the 25 cents profit
per barrel was just about what the
millers had been making before.
Other millers in the state, however,
have opei.ly expressed themselves as
greatly pleased at the .regulation, and
have confided to friends that in the
past thev were happy to make 8
cents per barrel net.
