EAT BANANAS. SAVE BREAD.
The best way to save flour is to
stop the eating of bread. But such
advice is worthless unless wi know
tfhat to eat instead of bread- Dur
i::.f? these summer months our gar
dens and the cheap vegetables that
flcod tl.e markets furnish the an
.sv.cr. Uut all the year around the
banana, a tropical fruit, which is
ca.-i'y rn.l cheaply grown, can be
depended upon w.y largely to furnish
starch avd sugar and a good supply
of mine l a! salts at u price which un
der ordinary conditions is no greater
than wheat flour.
Bananas are brought to our mar
ket while they are still green, in
speci.'liy fitted boat-; which touch the
ports of the West Indes and Central
and South America. Our ability to
get bananas at ten to twenty-five
tvnts a dozen, depending upon their
sir.e and condition, is regarded by
the carrying capacity of the banana
fleet. Any readjustment of our shin
ping to meet the need cf freighters
for carrying munitions and supplies
across the Atlantic which withdraws
these banana boats from service cuts
off a very important food supply.
It is foolish to urge people to save
wheat by consuming less bread if at
the same time we make it impossible
for them to get the cheap food from
the tropics.

PLATTSMOUTH
NEBRASKA
Washington, D. C, July 28. Con-
feres on the administration food con
trol bill failed tonight to reach a final
agreement on the measure and ad
journed to meet again tomorrow.
Two provisions prevented an agree
ment the Senate amendment propos
ing a food control board of three
members, instead of an individual ad
ministrator, and that creating a con
gressional committee to supervise war
expenditures.
The conferees hoped for an agree
ment tomorrow, but if they fail it is
planned to report the partial disagree
ment to the two houses and ask lor
further instructions. A deadlock is
not considered improbable.
Earlier in the day the conferees
smoothed out their differences on a
prohibition provision, and agreed to
the section fixing a 2 minimum per
bushel for wheat.
The Prohibition Provision.
The prohibitive provision approved
provides that thirty days after the
bill becomes law no person shall use
any foods, fruits, food materials or
feeds in the production of any dis
tilled spirits for beverage purposes,
with a separate stipulation that the
prohibition shall not apply to the for
tification of sweet wines. Importation
of distilled spirits is prohibited in a
new section.
The house conferees receded on
their opposition to the liquor com
mandeering amendment, which was
adopted substantially as written by
the senate except to include whisky
n stock as well as in bond.
This authorizes ' and directs the
president to commandeer any or all
such distilled spirits for redistillation
where it may be necessary for muni
tions and other military or hospital
supplies.
Paid for by Government.
The spirits commandeered will be
paid for by the government. It was
understood at the capitol that the
president has no present purpose of
resorting to the commandeering au
thority. The president is given dis
cretion to stop either the manufac
ture of importation of beer and wines.
There was little opposition to the
senate's ?2 wheat guaranty amend
ment, but it was not changed so as to
make it apply to next year's crop in
stead of this year's.
The section authorizes the presi
dent, when he finds that an emerg
ency exists requiring stimulation of
wheat production and that it is es
sential for wheat producers to have
the benefits of a guaranty, to require
the food administration to determine
and fix a reasonable guaranteed price
to assure the producers of a reason
able profit, not less than S2 per
bushel at the principal interior pri
mary markets.
It also provides for additional cus
toms duties on wheat, when neces
sary, to bring the price of the im
ported article up to the guaranty.
Other Amendments Agreed to.

They Expected Russia "Would Fight,
But Did Not Count on Great
Britain.
London, July 29. An article re
garding the origin of the war is pub
lished by the Times. The writer re
calls a reference to the speech in the
reichstag last week of Hugo Haase,
leader of, the socialist minority, as re
ported in the Leipziger Volks Zeitung,
referring to the meeting July 5, 1914.
According to the Times' informant,
this probably will become the most
famous date of that fateful month.
He says a meeting was held at Pots
dam, those attending being the em
peror, Dr. von Bethmann-Hollweg,
Admiral von Tirpitz, General von
Falkenhayn; Dr. William von Stumm,
under-secretary for foreign affairs;
Archduke Frederick of Austria;
Count von Berchtold Austrian for
eign minister; Count Tisza, premier
of Hungary, and General Hoetzen-
dorf. They decided all the principal
points of the Austrian ultimatum to
be dispatched to Serbia. Eighteen
days later it was recognized that Rus
sia probably would refuse to submit
thereto and that the war would result,
but the meeting definitely decided to
accept that consequence.
The emperor then went to Norway
with the object says the writer, of
throwing dust into the eyes of the
French and Russian governmenst.
Later, when it became known that
England would not remain neutral,
von Bethmann-Hollweg wished to
withdraw, but it was too late. The
government was challenged to deny
the story, but did not.

NEBRASKA TO
ORGAN
ZE NEW
STATE GUARD
Lincoln, Neb., . July 29. With the
selection of Major Waller Steele as
adjutant general will probably be be
gun very soon the organization of a
new National Guard. Already meet
ings are being called for the purpose
of forming companies of rome
guards and tonight Adjutant General
Steele, General Harris and one or two
others held a meeting in Seward,
here it was reported that 300 men
m a
were ready to iorm an organization
of that kind.
It was the reorganization of the
national guard in this state that kept
Major Steele from going into active
service as lieutenant colonel of the
Sixth regiment. Governor Neville de
sired to appoint him, so it is said, but
believing that there was need of an
experienced man at the head of the
guard to carry on the reorganization,
he finally prevailed upon Steele to
sacrifice his ambitions for active serv
ice and stay at home and look after
a work which the governor believes
is as important as going to the front
With the guard in active service
out of the state and perhaps out of
the country, it will be necessary to
have some sort of a military organi
zation at home and from now on the
work of building up the home guards
into an effective military organiza
tion will be pushed.

DUAL MONARCHY TO
FIGHT TO END BEFORE
ACCEPTING A DEFEA"
Vienna (Via Copenhagen). July 2?.
-Reiterating: that Austria-Hungary
. . . 1. V.'
was reaciy vo accept, an iiuiumhuii;
peace, but that the dual monarchy, in
conjunction with its allies, would firht
to the last extremity if the entente
powers declined to enter negotiations
on the basis of a peace by under
standing as recently outlined by the
German imperial chancellor and the
reichstag-, Count Ottokar Czcrnin von
Chudenitz, the Austro-llunganan
foreign minister, in an interview to
day discussed at length peace pos
sibilities.
The Austrian statesman took oc
casion to reply to the speech made by
David Lloyd George in London July
21, when the British premier charac
terized the address delivered in the
reichstag by Dr. Michaelis, the Ger
man chancellor, as a sham. The count
said Mr. Lloyd George was mistaken
when he reported the reichstag peace
resoltiuon to eb a "piece cf bluiT."
"The chancellor and the reichstag,''
the foreign minister said, "declared
that Germany was conducting a de
fensive war and that the German
people only asked for an honorable
peace by means of an understanding
and an agreement offering the basis
for a lasting reconciliation of the na
tions. The chancellor and the reich
stag solemnly declared that the Ger
man people desired no forced conquest
and abhorred economic isolation and
incitment to enmity between nations
after the war.
"I must reply to Premier Lloyd
George with the question: 'What are
we finally to expect from the entente?'
What we desire is quite evident from
the well known declarations made in
Vienna and from the demonstrations
by the German people showing that a
complete agreement exists to the very
last detail between Vienna and Ber
lin. "What the chancellor and the
reichstag declared it was I described
months ago as an honorable peal;
which the Vienna government is
ready to accept, and whereby it seeks
a lasting reconciliation of the nations.
But. there also exists- the complete
agreement that we never shall accept
a peace which is not honorable for us.
"If the entente does not wish ta
enter negotiations on the basis which
we have clearly indicated we shall
continue the war and fight to the last
extremity. ,
"""I' don't care whether this admis
sion is regarded as a sign of weak
ness or of strength. To me it seems
only a sign of common sense and mor
ality which levoit against the idea of
prolonging the war. I am absolutely
convincid the entente will never suc
ceed i.i crushing u.s, and, since in our
position of defense we have no inten
tion of crushing the enemy, the war
will sooner or later end in a peace by
understanding.
"But to rny way of thinking the
natural conclusion is that the further
sacrifices and suffering imposd on all
humanity are useless and that it is
necessary in the interests of human
ity to reach a peace by understanding
as soon as possible.
"As we have fought in conjunction
with our faithful allies, so we shall
make peace in conjunction with them,
now or later, and we shall fight in
conjunction with them to the last
extremity unless the enemy shows a
willingness to understand our view
point. "I shall not put the question who
was responsible for the war, because
it is useless to discuss the past in this
connection. But I shall speak of the
future and I wish to express the de
sire that the world may succeed after
the conclusion of peace in finding ade
quate means and expedients to pre
vent forever the recurrence of such a
frightful war. The road may be dif
ficult but it is not impossible."
