Food Administrator Sends Tel
egram of Congratulation on
Conservation Meeting at
Boyd Theater.
Food Administrator Hoover has
telegraphed to G. W. Wattles con
gratulations- on the big conservation
pledge. Card meeting held at the Boyd
theater Thursday as follows:
"It is with pleasure that I have
learned, of the meeting held in Omaha
liy your splendid organization to fur
ther the work of enrollment cam
paign for food conservation. The im
portance of food substitution to in
sure a sufficient supply of fats, sugar
and wheat to meet the needs of our
army and otir allies cannot be over
estimated. There is a world shortage
in these vital necessities that can be
met only through the elimination of
waste and the intelligent substitution
of other articles of diet so far as sub
stitution is possible. The willingness
of your organization to. engage in the
educational campaign for food conser
vation 9 generally evidence that our
citizens are prepared to meet the per
plexing problems of war through the
volunteer ' agencies ot democracy.
There should be no anxiety in the
minds of our loyal soldiers at the
front with reference to the ability of
those at home to insure an adequate
supply of food for their comfort and
fighting efficiency. xThe same holds
true with reference to our allies, who
must be sustained by us until our sol
diers are properly trained to meet the
Vigors of war. Unless we meet the
food problem as becomes the citizens
of a great democracy our failure may
be responsible -for the unnecessary
sacrifice of our heroic soldiers, to
whom we owe our loyal support. It
is my earnest hope that through your
perfected organization and other vol
unteer agencies the enrollment cam
paign in Nebraska may be a great suc
cess" ' .

Clinical, Congress Unable
To Find Cause of Cancer
Chicago, Oct. 26. The causation of
cancer is lyet unknown to medical
science, according to a statement
made before the. 3,000 surgeons who
for the past week have been in Chi
cago attending the eighth annual con
vention of the Clinical Congress of
Surgeons, which yesterday merged
with the American College of Sur
geons and is'now known as the Clini
cal Congress of the American College
of Surgeons. Dr. William T. Mayo of
Rochester, Minn., president-elect of
the new body, in discussing the ad
vances made in the treatment of can
cer, asserMd that while physicians
cannot ascribe exactly the causes of
that disease, it is known that hot
foods taken into the stomach often
result in cancerous growths in that
organ.
Clean food, coupled with food at
normal temperatures might go a long
way in removing one of the first
causes of cancer, Dr. Mayo said, and
subsequent speakers agreed to this.
Sir Berkley Moynihan of Leeds,
England, member of the British army
staff, who has made daily addresses
to the physicians, declared that in no
one line of surgery had such strides
been made' as in lung and pleura sur
gery. He advised surgeons con
templating war service to be pre
pared to go about .the lung surgery
resolutely and without misgivings as
to severity. He said that the lung
could be cleansed of slivers of shells
j'ust as one would cleanse a new
sponge.

To German Guns
(By Amoelated FreM.)
American Training Camp in France,
Oct 2(5. Major General Sibert, re
turning from around Soissons, where
he witnessed part of the French of
fensive on the Aisne, said that the
French losses had been extremely
small because of the effectiveness of
the artillery preparation. He and the
other American officers were en
thusiastic over the importance of the
French victory, especially as to the
amount of material and number of
prisoners taken. The American of
ficers were impressed greatly with the
preponderance of the French ar
tillery over the Germans.
The French forced a crossing on
two rivers, wading through water up
to their shoulders.
On the Aisne front the ground new
ly won is being consolidated and no
important fighting occurred during
the night.
The Germans renewed their attacks
in the Verdun sector and were again
beaten back, suffering large losses.

Army Men Disgusted With
Greed of Landlords; Captain
Magett Found "Guilty" by
"Kangaroo" Court. .
Camp Cody, Deming, N. M., Oct.
25. (Special.) Since . Major Arthur
M. Nelson, adjutant of the Sixty
eighth brigade, the Minnesotans, with
a sprinkling of Troop C, Iowa cav
alry; machine gun company, Fourth
Nebraska infantry, and Companies I,
K, L and M Second Iowa infantry,
thrown in, has -mentioned the sub
jest in the ."Reveille," the weekly pa
per of the Minnesota bunch that is
waking up things hereabout, it is no
doubt official to print the following
"lead editorial" that appeared in the
last issue of the little, but spicy,
quarto:
"The property owners of Deming
are sharpening the ax preparatory to
killing the goose which was to lay the
golden egg. They are bringing this
about by the terrific rentals charged
officers for living rooms in which to
house their families. At present offi
cers are compelled to pay as high as
$50 a month for a single furnished
room, and $150 a month for three and
four-room cottages. Highway rob
bery is respectable in comparison.
"This brings to mind the assertion
made by an Iowan several days ago
that Captain G. W. Dulany, jr., com
manding F battery, from Des Moines,
was paying $175 ii month, for a resi
dence for his family. A Drilling paper
notes the advent of the Dulanys in
town and says that 'although they
are accustomed to all the luxuries
that wealth can acquire, they are
very much delighted with Deming.'"
Captain John P. Magett, Hastings,
NTeb banker, was the victim at the
"kangaroo" court-martial, in which
Lieutenant J. B. Cain of Falls City
was "prosecutor" and "judge advo
cate" and Captain C. A. Beaver pre
sided. Captain C. B. Fletcher, Schuy
ler, Neb, lawyer, defended the ac
cused. On 57 counts Magett was
found guilty and fined a box of cigars
and made to take a cold shower bath.
