Chicago. —Fully fifteen hundred per

the Hotel La Halle at noon to hear
Kooaevalt make his first speech .
Governor Lowden extended the state’s
welcome and short addreases were
made by Major-General Thomas Barry,
Dr. Harry Pratt Judson, president of
the University of Chicago and Ed

Let the government help the farmer by
mobilising labor if necessary and tell
our young men that it is a case of farm
and arm.
“During the last two years and a half
of peace we have been foolish enough
not to prepare for war; and now we
are at war, let us avoid the further

WEEK'S CONFERENCE
LEAVES AMERICA A
DAUGHTER OF MARS
Has Firm Grip on Sword, and
Drawing Back Her Arm to
Plunge Deep
LAST SEVEN DAYS
Has Seen Things Transpire to
Change Order of Things.
(BY THE Sn.tTd PRESS.)
Washington. Ah a reMUlt of the first
week's work of the greatest war con
ference in history, America tonight hud
a firm grip on the sword of Mars and
was drawing back her arm to plunge
it deep into the European war. The
Allied parley modestly began la«t
Monday as a mere interchange of cour
tesies. Then ideas as to how the Unit
ed Htates could help in the crushing
of J'rUHHianiam were exchanged. To
night the ramification of developments
ho far recorded encompass the world
ami reach from the home of the Ar
gentinian and to the hut of Moujik in
Russia.
Liberty 1
Liberty, enlightening the world on
her block of atone in New York har
bor, took on a new significance.
The situation may be summed up
by quoting an unnumeabte, though su
preme authority in world politics, who
said;
“If the time ever comes that tlie
United Htates shall enter the war of
nations, it will bring an entirely new
alignment of world forces and resolve
itself Into a monumental struggle for
the preservation of democracy and the
Occidental race.”
The last seven days, In the opinion
of experts in world politics, have
murked the setting in of tills trend.
Root’s Appointment.
Already, by the appointment of Kllbu
Root, as head of the American com
mission to Russia and today’s inten
tion of our European Allies to stand
behind that commission to "prevent a
saparate peace with Germany and
keep alight the spark of freedom flick
ering In the various domain of the
('tar, the United Htates lias begun Its
world leadership.
The second most important phase of
the week’a developments, which stands
out tonight is the rapidity with which
America at war is drawing the bonds
of mutual Interest dose about North
and South America.
What the Pan-American Union has
striven for years to do, what the com
mensal, industrial and diplomatic
forces of the nation have sought to
effect a genuine community of Inter
est between the I ait inn of the South
and the Anglo-Saxons of the North
is being accomplished by the war.
Allied conferees here in world par
ley, while of course saying nothing of
ficially today let It be known that they
believe South America logically and
naturally will strongly align Itself with
the United States.
The Two Americas.
Every war development In South
America since the United States de
clared itself against the Teutons has
tended to confirm this.
Rrar.il has severed diplomatic rela
tions with Germany and was almost
certain to go further and declare actual
war.
Today she made diplomatic sound
ings as to possibility of financial help
from America. Tho population of Ar
gentina has been clamoring for a break
with Germany.
Gaiitemala today severed diplomatic
relations with Pniaaiantem and offered
all her resources to the United Htste*
to wage war against Germany. The
feeling here in the war capital of the
world tonight Is that the entire trend
of South American spirit Is toward
pro North Americanism, democracy.
This trend, world authorities declare,
inevitably Involves thg death of Ger
man propaganda. Germap trade and

SENATE “DRAFT"
VOTE: 81 TO 8
(Continued from page One)
Dramatic Passage*.
The debate brought some dramatic
passages in both senate and house. In
l h<» senate the Issue was fought out on
Senator McKellar’s amendment which
would authorize a call for 600,000 vol
unteers and not put conscription into
effect unless the half million men did
not respond within 90 days. Mr. Kel
lar pleaded that this plan would not
interefere with the draft plan, but
would “show the world that we are a
patriotic and not a conscript nation.’
Senator Johnson,, of California, also
advocated a call for volunteers to
place an American force in Europe im
mediately. After the McKellar amend
ment had been rejected, Senators Kir
by, Hardwick and Gronna protested
against conscription.
Senator Trammell re-opened the
draft question by offering and amend
ment proposing to substitute the vol
unteer system throughout the bill It
was rejected by an overwhelming roar
of "noes.”
In the house there was no roll call.
The long fight came to a close early
in the afternoon, when Representative
Kahn, of California, moved to strike
out the volunteer provision written in
to the bill by the house military com
mittee. As the result became more
aparent the members and thosein the
galleries broke into cheers, whilh
Speaker Clark, Chairman Dent of the
military committees; Chairman Pad
gett of the naval committee, and other
democrats who had fought the admin
istration's plan sat silent. Miss Ran
kin. of Montana, voted with the volun
teers advocates. »
Climax for Clark.
Throughout the remainder of the
house debate pro-volunteer members
frequently reopened discussion of their
proposal, the climax coming when
Speaker (’lark declared he might drive
out of his district some of those who
had urged he vote for conscription.
“A lot of old skunkers all over the
country who think that nobody is
going to be forced into this war ex
cept boys from 19 to 26," the speaker
said, "and think that their miserable
cowardly hides will be safe, have been
sending telegrams here. I know them.
1 know every man in my district, who
has telegraphed me, and I know who
is at the bottom of it, aqd 1 can take

(BY THE ASSOCIATED PRESS)
Washington.—An-adequate supply of
news print paper for every American
publisher was predicted by the federal
trade commission today in announcing
that Lord Northcliffe. the English pub
lisher. probably would turn over to
the American Newspaper Publishers'
Association the entire output of his
big New Foundland paper mills.
in addition the BS.OOO tons of paper
produced annually by the Northcliffe
mills, it was said, will break the print
paper market and assure small pub
lishers an adequate supply at lower
prices.
It was said there is little doubt that
Lord Northcliffe will let the paper
come to the I'nited Stares and that ar
rangements will he made with the Ca

Suggestions that the United States
be permitted to take the production of
the Northcliffe plants were made by
the trade commission some weeks ago
to the British publishers who accepted,
it was said, on condition that the paper
go only to small publishers. The com
mission agreed to thia.
The arrangement with Lord North

LOIN OF 1917"
So Named Because the Money,
to the Last Dollar, Will Be
Spent in Fight For Democracy
$5,000,000,000 BOND ISSUE
Terms Will Be Announced
Within 48 Hours By Secretary
McAdoo Unless Plans Changed
(BY THE ASSOCIATED PRESS.)
Washington.—The great loan which
the United States is about to raise by
the bond issue soon to be announced
will go down In history, Secretary Mc-
Adoo announced tonight, officially
designated as "the liberty loan of
1917.”
This name was selected by Mr. Mc-
Adoo because the money derived from
the loan will be spent, to the last dol
lar, in the fight which democracy is
waging against autocracy.
The treasury department issued the
following statement:
“Secretary McAdoo today decided
that the great bond issue which he will
soon begin offering to the public will
be known as 'liberty loan of 1917.’ The
money to be raised by this loan is for
the purpose of waging war against au
tocracy, It is to supply the sinews
of battle in the interest of free govern
ment. It is peucliarly appropriate that
as the negotiations of this loan will
constitute the first great step of the
United States in the prosecution of the
war, it should be issued in the name of
freedom.”
The terms of the liberty loan will be
announced within forty-eight (hours
unless present plans are changed. To
day’s conferences were devoted largely
to investment bankers and the heads
and representatives of other financial
Institutions. Besides these, the official
representatives of Great Britain,
France and Italy called at the treasury
to outline their needs in further de
tail.
What Every State Should
Know
By Porter Emerson Browne
of the Vigilantes
Since tbe United States of America are
now at war with Germany, and since
these United States naturally wish to do
all in their power to equip themselves In
every war. it seems highly pertinent to
call to universal attention the various
steps that the state of Conneclcut has
taken toward that much-desired end.
First: A military census of all men
within the state. This census demands
of each individual, his age. experience,
whether or not he has people dependent
upon him, and just what he Is best fitted
r for in times of emergency. The bill
authorizing thin census further provides
for an inventory of the resources of
the state.
Second: An automobile census; just
what car. or cars, each individual owns,
and for what use and length of service
he is willing to let the government
have them.
Third: The first real compulsory mili
tary service law to be found In the
statutes of any state. Several states
have adopted what, seems to be compul
sory military service legislation; but
these have been emasculated by the
use of the word “may" In critical places.
The Connecticut law specifically states
that drafts “shall" be made; whereby It
becomes not optional, but mandatory.
This Is Important! Furthermore, it pro
vides heavy penalties for those who
evade, or try to evade, such draft.
Fourth: The passage of an act grant
ing to the governor practically unlim
ited power during time of national emer
gency in procuring and in offering for
the use nf the nation men, material and
money. No reservations of any kind
are contained in this act, which, in fact,
confers upon the governor, within the
limits of the state, dictatorial powers.
These measures enable the state of
Copnectlcut to throw its entire resources
Into quick and efficient employment for
national needs. They are in every way
ah example to other states that have
their country's needs at heart, in this
time of crisis.
You other states of the Union give
heed!
Connecticut, knows you want to “do
your bit." Connecticut stands willing to
give you every aid within her power.
Get copies of her bills. Have your legis
latures pass them, and your governors
sign them. Then will all the states of
the Union stand squarely, side by side,
for their country's honor and their coun
try's life, as stood the Minute Men
of '7«!

STALE BREAD AND
WHAT TO 00 WITH IT
Waahington, D. C.—Bread Is one of
Items most commonly wasted In many
American households, say the special
ists of the IT. s. Department of Agri
culture. This waste is probably due to
the fact that many housekeepers do
not think of bread as costing much and
are careless about its use or do not
not what to do with the odds and ends
frequently found In the bread box.
Good, fresh thread has a spongy tex
ture which in time disappears, leaving
the bread dry and crumbly, the mois
ture gradually passing out through the
crust. Bread a little too stale to be
appetizing, but not yet hard, may be
freshened by putting it into the oven
for a few minutes. The heat seems to
drive the moisture from the crust back
into the center of the loaf, making the
crust more crisp and the crumb a lit
tle more spongy. Some
moisten the surface of the bread and
sometimes cover it before putting it
into the oven, but others think that
moistening Injures the texture of the
crust without improving the crub.
Rolls or biscuits which have a great
er surface in proportion to their size,
dry out more rapidly than loaves of
bread. It is good planning, therefore,
not to provide more than will be used
at a meal or at least a day after bak
ing. For similar reasons, bread stays
fresh longer in the loaf than after it is
sliced. No more than will be needed
should be cut for any one meal and one
loaf should be used up before the next
is cut into. When the bread needs
freshening it is a good plan to cut the
required slices and put them into the
oven for a few minutes justa before
serving.
Toast.
Toast is another form in which part
ly stale bread can be made attractive.
In many families it is served only for
breakfast, luncheon, or supper, but the
custom which many high grade res
taurants have adopted of serving thin,
crisp, hot toast with the more substan
tial meals, might well be followed at
home.
Such dishes as chopped meat with
gravy, creamed chicken or fish, poach
ed eggs, melted cheese, cooked aspara
gus, Swiss chard, baked tomatoes, etc.,
are srved very commonly on toast.
£ream or milk toast (that is, toast
with a cream sauce or milk gravy, per
haps flavored with a very little chip
ped beef, salt fish, or other savory)
may be used as the main dis'n at
breakfast, luncheon, or supper. Slices
of toast may also be dipped in water or
milk and beaten egg, and lightly
browned on a hot greased pan. The
recipe for this dish, which is called by
various names, is given in the append
ed recipes under the heading "Egg
Toast." It may be used at breakfast,
and has the advantage of making the
eggs “go further” than if used in a
separate dish, or it may be served with
cinnamon and sugar, syrup, or any
sweet sauce for dessert.
At a Breakfast Food.
Another good way of using stale
bread or of treating bread so that it
shall not become stale, is to put the
pieces in the warming oven or on the
hack of the stove and leave them until
they are crisp and a delicate brown
throughout. This is often called twice
baked bread and is very popular with
children and also with grown-ups who
like Its “crunchiness" and the flavor
which comes with the slight browning.
The rusks which used to be commonly
served like breakfast cereals in some
parts of the country were made, by
crushing such twice-baked bread with
a rolling pin.
Crumbs Valuable in Cookery.
There Is nothing new in the idea of
using bread crumbs in cookery and
most housekeepers are in the habit of
having some on hand for use in scal
loped dishes, stuffing for meat, pud
dings, etc. Few realize, however, how
HAVE YOU A LITTLE GINGER JAR?
There's a trying monotony about

much more generally they might be
utilized. Many commercial bakers use
bread crumbs to some extent as a sub
stitute for the flour in many sorts of
cakes, cookies, puddings, etc. Crumbs
may also be used instead of flour and
starch for thickening soups and
sauces.
Any bits of bread which can not be
eaten on the table should be saved and
crumbed for use in cooking. Some
housekeepers keep two kinds on hand;
one, stale crumbs made chiefly from
the inside of the loaf and suitable for
.use in the place of flour, and dried
crumbs made from any part of the
bread browned a little in a very slow
oven and crushed fine to be used in
scalloped dishes, for the coating of
croquettes or other fried foods, or
wherever a crusty, fine crumb is
needed. To prevent their growing
musty, crumbs should be kept in dry,
air-tight containers. Fruit jars are
often convenient for the purpose.
How to Utilize Quick Bread*.
Yetst-made bread is by no means
the only bread that can be utilized in
some of the ways suggested. The
quick breads raised by baking powder,
soda, and sour milk or other acid, etc.,
dry out more quickly than the yeast
bread, probably because the water is
not so thoroughly incorporated with
the flour during the making. These
breads can not be freshened simply by
putting in the oven like yeast-raised
bread. Quick biscuit, however, how
ever, make delicious toast which la
very convenient for serving under
meats, eggs, etc. The crumbs made
from them may also be used in other
breads, cakes, and puddings, as may
also corn bread and cake crumbs
wherever their flavor is not objection
able. Boston brown bread toasted and
served with a cream sauce is a delic
ious dish for supper or breakfast
Toasted rye bread is also good. Crack
ers, which are practically dried bread
in different shapes, and which may
lose their crispness if kept exposed
when the air is moist, can be freshen
ed or made crisp by putting into the
oven. The crumbs made from them
serve many of the purposes of dried
bread crumbs. A number of recipe*
for using left-over bread follow: i
