And accused you of setting up an altar
To tii Almighty iioiiar o Aacrteal
And lh y Mailed when your nafe was mentioned,
But yesterday
There mauled an, army down the street.
n army of brave-eyed men with boyish mouths.
Straight backed and proud in their new-found mission
The ;;i 'ng ol I l.e world '.
And yesterday somewhere at sea
A White face I oated
With ni,ity 'es upturned to an unseeing sky.
And yesteniav in a barren field I

Whe up at ships- heavy with substance
Plough Stolidly thru the deep

180 KINDS OF FOOD
ON DIG U. S. TRANSPORT
Thousands of BoKMetUi Hung ray as
Wolves (at times). Served With
out Confusion.
The committee on public informa
tion issues the following:
Two hundred and ten thousand
meals were served on a United States
transport on a recent voyage. One
hundred'and eighty varieties of food
were used in making up the menus,
and this ship carried 750,000 pounds
3,750 tons--of food.
An account of how the soldiers are
fed is given in the ship's daily news
paper. The vessel has its own pour
mil, printed aboard, containing the
news of the day received by Wireless
thru the "Navy Press,
the men on the seas in touch with
the events of the outside world. The
ship's reporter, describing how "the
almost unending lines of khaki file
by for their meals," says:
Thousands Fed in Short Time.
in spaces no larger than a private i
dining room at Sherry's they come
by, thousands upon thousands, and
yet in sue' perfect order that in less
than 8 0 minutes the last man has
been served.
"The khaki line seems limitless. It
must seem longer than that to those
in the rear. But the coffee in the big
pots remains hot, the stew continues
to seam, and in less than seven sec
onds each man has an equipment re
plete with food. It only takes two
details to accomplish this miracle
perfect system and vast quantities of
things that one can eat. That's about
all it takes.
"Flour, potatoes and beef are the
big three that rule the realm below
yet there are 159,000 pounds
fresh vegetables waiting to be
sorbed. providing the sea doesn't
too rough.
Arrange Their Own Menus
"After receiving their food the men
arrange their own menus. For exam
ple, one takes gravy on his rice an 1
jam on his bread. The next take.;
gravy on his bread and jam on his
rice, using t'e combination to pro
duce a crimson-tinted mixture of
startling effect. American ingenuity
is hard to atop.
"Outside of providing 210,000
meals at sea the mess officer of tin
ship has very little to do. Verv lit
tle. "He is only called upon to provide,
by the regulations, 1X0 different vari
eties of food. Thai's all. Ever try
to order 180 different things to eat '
Yet this is the authentic list.
Over 7,000 leaves linked in a Day.
"The food needed to feed several
thousand men at sea ranges beyond
the glutton's dream. You get the an
swer in the ship down below the wa
ter line where 7,290 loaves of bread
have been baked In one day, and e;it
en, and Where you stumble over every
variety from 60,000 pounds of beef to
132.000 eggs, or a compartment ol
brick ice cream in a 10 degree above
zero vault.
"And if this doesn't suit you, yot:
can bump along into 49,324 pounds
of potatoes, 7,100 pounds of ham and
bacon. 7.800 pounds of butter. 9. 201
Which ke.-ps pounds of sugar and 61.500 pounds
Of Hour.
"If you can't get a meal out of this
you can still fall hack on 4,6 00
pounds of sausage, 3,400 pounds of
sauerkraut, 26.000 pounds of apples,
19,800 pounds of oranges and 4.00
pounds of onions.
"And this leaves out 1,600 pounds
of jam and 9,400 pounds.of lima and
navy beans.
Immense Appetites at Times.
"The sea brings on an appetitf
at times. 'So does wearing khaki.
The combination develops a cyclone.
Yet this ship not only yields many
thousands of meals a day. but will
deposit 100.000 pounds of food at its
next port. No wonder Mr. Hoover
wanted all food conserved. He must
have thought of these men in khaki
waiting their turn, one thousand Upon
another thousand thru a space 60 by
40 feet, each man armed with a mess
equipment in either list, ready to go
Qf j over the top and break the broad
line. ureaKing me oread line is me
proper phrase. On this trip alone
they will consume 75,000 loaves and
use up 2.000 loaves more for sand
Wiches when they leave the ship.
All Done Systematically.
"There is no vast Space for all this
but perfect organisation, four clne.n
kitchens, and a mess force of 138
men turn the trick without a tangle.
From potatoes to pies, from ice cream
to sauerkraut, from grapefruit to
onions, from jam to sardines, th al 1
lotmeni is drawn from its shadowed
hiding place below where the removal
of several pounds hardly leave a
'dent. And handling 180 varieties of j
food in quantities that range from
800 pounds to 79 tons speaks- almost
for itself.
I ".lust how many calories 7 50.000
pounds of food contain you can Bgtttt
! for yourself on the next rainy alter
noon."

How The Bayonet
Lost a Great Battle
BAYONETS, first made at Bayonne, F ance,
whence llicy jct their name, to begin, were
almost as dangerous to the army with them as
to its foe.
Fashioned with a solid butt, to be jamme d into
(he muzzle, it rendered a gun useless for fir-'ng.
The butt was soon changed to a socket, but not
bef.-re thej new fancied bayonet brought the I nglish
army to grief at hillickrankie.
The English soldier found the bayonet a poor fit,
hard to gjt ir: his gun; and when he gt.t it in, hard
tr got Out When he had to bayonet, he couldn't
bayonft; when he hd to shoot, he couldn't shoot.
