Berlin. Wis, May .80. (U. P.)
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'

' 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.

Incidentally the tip has gone forth
that "war food" is not at all unpleas-

: the war diets and war menus now in
. force in Europe will find a permanent
place in the national diet.
War Bread Is Palatable.
For example those who. have' eaten
' the "war bread" now being served In
. England maintain that it is actually
more edible than the white bread made
. In . America. Made from a' flour of
. wheat mixed with barley and rice, the
. bread has a bit of brown tinge in color,

Upon the staff of Herbert C. Hoover,
who has been appointed food admin-

numerous experts who were employed
by the Belgian relief commission In
Belgium. 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.

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."

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.
