MEDFORD MATE TRIBUNE MEDFORD, OREGON, FRIDAY, MAY 11. 1017.
PXGE THREE
E
OF
IXDNDOX, May 11. The Times'
military correspondent says that
France needs at the earliest possible
moment military uid fiom the United
States.
"The question of the nnture and
the time of the military support of
the United States must necessarily
be decided by America alone," says
the correspondent, "but it is very im
portant that America should under
stand that Fiance needs help as
quickly (is possible. It would be best
if America were willing to send nt
lenst 200,000 American recruits' to
be incorporated in and trained by the
French nnny ns soon ns the ships
can nnng tliem.
"France cannot comfortably afford
to await until next year forthe mili
tnrv assistance of Americn. She
needs this support now, in order to
keep the French ranks full. And
there is always the chance that in
view of the certainty of a grent army
coining; from Americn, Von Ilindcn
harg may change his plans and try
for a bin; stroke in the west before
the Americans come in full array."
The correspondent has no encour
agement for those who are antici
pntinfr an early end of the war. He
says there is no conclusive military
reason why it should end soon, lie
sets against the numerical superior
ity of the allies and the potential
strength added from America "the
loss of authority and discipline en
tailed upon Russia by the revolu
tion." The writer maintains that "in gen
eral our superiority is not such as
to guarantee the immediate, or even
the early, crushing of the enemy's
arms by military means," and adds
that "while the economic prcsure up
oiffthe enemy is severe, it does not
afford certain ground for anticipating
an early cessation of hostilities.
"Neither we, nor France, can af
ford the losses of a great general
offensive for the moment," says the
writer, in conclusion.

ing during the last week show a cer

formed wrltor on the subjects, lie
adds:
"I understand that our means of
fighting submarines Is increasing
daily and without giving details, 1
can say that the number of subma
rines put out ot action in the last few
days has risen in a very satisfactory
manner."
WASHINGTON', May 11. Advices

teen Austrian submarines have been

RAILROAD RATES
WASHINGTON, May 11. Julius
Krtittschnltt, chairman of the South
era Pacific, told the Interstate com
merce commission at its hearing of
tho railroad for application for 15 per
cent higher freight rates, that an im
mediate reason for the Increase Is
that the railroads will soon be called
upon to carry great quantites of mili
tary supplies and troops at govern
ment rates which are lower than com
mercial charges.
"The demands for food products of
all kinds and the demands for ship
ment abroad," he said, "will tav tho
resources of all carriers and they aro
so urgent that they must be complied
with regardless of expense.
"For twenty years," cad Mr. Krutt-
schutt, "all commodities except trans
portation had risen In cost and uni
versal bankruptcy has been avoided
by the carriers only by heavy capital
expenditures to reduce grades, elim
inate curves and purchase heavier
locomotives and cars all Incurred for
the purpose of increasing efficiency
in train movement by hauling more
tons per locomotive. The opportuni
ty to offset these increasing costs iby
economics In oporation has been
largely diminished, In other words,
cars -and locomotives aro about as
large as can be constructed within
clearance limits."

our enemies there has been a de
crease in imports from neutral coun
tries. America intends to intensity
this situation further but wo must
put up with this.
"That we shall ninnge until tho next
harvest is absolutely certain. Our

convinced mother
.
(Report No.
Mother went down
stairs with me and took
the Cottolene lid off in
the kitchen.
She didn't act en
thusiastic when she
asked, "Now what are
we going to make?"
I said, "Biscuits.
Follow these direc
tions exactly."
We couldn't find a
board (mother isn't
used to our kitchen),
S) By the man who proved it!
so we rolled the dough
on the clean oil cloth
table top and cut the
biscuits out with a
baking powder cover.
VVc quarrelled a little, too,
over the recipe. Mother
claimed one-third less Cotto
lene wouldn't be cnoii(;h
shortening. Hut I insisted it
would.
When the biscuit were in
the oven Mother looked as if
it were up to me now. The
Cottolene was mine; so was
the onc-tliird-less recipe.
Uut when the oven door
was opened the strain came
off my shoulders. Mother
said cautiously. "Why, these
are very Rood biscuits they
are perid biscuits."
They were.
They were as absolutely
crisp and delicious as any I
ever tasted made with Moth
er's full quantity of butter.
My point was proved.
