Berlin, one of the most thriv- ins little cities In tha, famous Fox River valley of Wisconsin, is the first city in the United j States to rebel against Jts name. following announcement that there are 61 other towns in the country bearing the same name, xt It is probable the townspeo- pie will overthrow the German f monicker for an Indian name. "Mascoutln" has been sug- . rested and .has met with much Ifc favor because that is the name borne by an Indian tribe which first settled the village. The Berlin Journal has started a hot campaign to change the $ name of the place. 4t .Washington, May 30. (I. N. S.) American housewives are going to cook in terms of "calories" Instead of "teaspoonfujs." Along with Its sweeping program of conserving the food the administration Is to conduct a "down-to-the-massea' educational campaign for American housewives. Information will be Is sued to the housekeeper In terms which she can understand and by this method It is oped to be able to augment the conservation of foodstuffs to such a degree that the United States will not meet with difficulty in providing foods for all of the allied armies fight lng against the Germans. rood Bulletins Too Technical. "High cost of living" bulletins Is sued broadcast over the country for the past year have been too technical, according to members of the food ad ministration. .The average housewife .has no conception of "calories," "pro teins and fats" because she has al ways been told that they are chemical terms and the ordinary "Mrs. Kitchen' 4 am . am 4 si t IIV V W fc-. . ' The food administration has taken upon its shoulders the gigantic task of making a chemist out of every woman who practices the culinary art in the United States. This worji will not be done solely by bulletins issued by the Washington headquarters but will be carried on by the national body of ,women who will be recruited from every community .and every walk of lire to forward the work of the food savings. . -Laboratories Will Teach Women, Laboratories for these "chemists" Will bft AAta.hlinhffr1 In Miih dftmmnnHv d. .

These experts iiave had prac tical experience with war cookery and while they do not wish to force upon the American people any long list of substitute foods they believe they will be able to convince the American peo ple that many of the so-called "war foods" are really no measures of hard ship, but are new discoveries in diet and foods. REPORT OF ADMIRAL SIMS ON MINING OF 0 s HARBOR MADE PUBLIC News Published in Berlin Four Days Before Destroyers Arrived at British Port. Italy Has Added to Washington, May 30. (L N. S.) Secretary of the Navy Daniels made publlo Tuesday the full report of Rear Admiral Sims at London on tho mining of the harbor at which the American destroyer fleet which re cently arrived In Great Britain ar rived. This report shows that German newspapers printed news of the fleet' sailing four days before the destroy ers reached England and many days before the slightest nlnt of the move ment was known In America. The waters for which the destroy ers were heading had Deen rree or mines for three months prior to the day before the American fleet's ar rival. Haws Printed In Berlin Papers. An interesting feature In connec tion with the arrival of the destroy ers," says Admiral Sims in his re port, "Is the report that their sail ing appeared in Berlin newspapers about four days before their arrival and also that a field of mines was planted immediately off the entrance of the port at which they arrived the day before the arrival took place. These were the first mines planted in that vicinity during the previous months." Admiral Sims then devotes himself to the condition of the fleet. "I am glad to be able to report," he says, "the excellent Impression given by our officers, ships and the crews under command. uur ships made no demands of consequence upon the facilities offered here in spite of the length of their passage under adverse conditions. British Admiralty Surprised. "The tsommaftder when questioned by the admiralty as to when his ves sels would do reaayior auty, replied that he should be ready that night as soon as tne snips were rerueied. This was apparently a considerable surprise to the admiralty, who then gave them four days before taking up active work. "The vessels themselves caused a great deal of complimentary comment and were found to be well equippe 1 for their prospective duty." Commenting on Admiral Sims' re port. Secretary Daniels said: "This Is the only reference he made to the knowledge In Berlin of the sailing of our destroyers and the mining of the harbor. He did not give any statement or speculation as to how Berlin obtained Its Informa tion." 0 Surplus During War Measure Proposes Control of Explosives! Credit of $800,000,000 Needed, How ever, to Finance Foreign Trad and Reduce High Prices of Exchange. Washington. May SO. (L N. S.)- "Italy will have on July 15, the close of her fiscal year, a surplus of $300, 000,000 more than she had when she entered" the war." This statement was made Tuesday by Slgnor Francesco Nitti, Italian dep uty, and member of the Italian mis sion. r "Italy has accomplished this." Big- nor Nitti said, "by a taxation and the use of little paper money. However, .Italy needs to establish a foreign credit of 3800,000.000 to finance her foreign trade and reduce the high price or nauan exenange. 'rnis we hope to accomplish through loans al ready made with the United States and - through loans which we may arrange to the future." Washington, May 80. (I. N. &) Another war measure designed to pre vent destruction of Industrial plants and the transportation lines was urged upon the house Tuesday by Repre sentative Foster of Illinois, who sought the passage of his bill to reg ulate traffic In explosives. Mr. Foster, as chairman of the com mission, on mines and mining, empha sized that while his bill was designed to reach only a small percentage of the people it was absolutely vital to the proper restraint of mob violence and the protection of commerce and industry during the war with Germany. By the terms of the hill the Presi dent would be given absolute power by law to lay down regulations "gov erning the manufacture, distribution. storage,: use and possession" of all kinds of explosives until the war Is over.
