H Pittsburgh, Pa.—“ For many months
I was not able to do my work owing to

WHAT TO SEND
BOYS IN CAMP
Our boys become very tired of eat
ing "government straights," as they
call the army rations, and are glad
indeed to get lioxes from home. The
government rations are nutritious and
plentiful, but they luck the home
touch. Fortunate, indeed. Is the boy
who has a mother or devoted sister—
yes. or a sweetheart—who supplements
this plain living with “eats" from home.
The boys in the training camp are
learning to be soldiers, and they, like
the full fledged soldier, have few civil
ian recreations so that when we at
tempt to introduce a hit of joy into
our boys' life we fall back upon "eats.”
if our boys had a pet food at home we
sit once think of sending him that food.
If he is nearby we send him cake and
fanev breads, cheese and even roasted
chicken if the weather permits.
If the boy had his way he would ask
for the luxuries such as jams, jellies,
rakes, cookies, pies, doughnuts, candies,
etc.. to supplement “government
straights.”
The writer recently saw a letter
which a soldier in the regular army
wrote his sister to thank her for a box
of food she had seni him. After telling
her how good it all was. he added:
“Any time you feel inclined to send
me ‘eats.’ be assured they will be fully
appreciated. None will spoil and none
be wasted.”
In general select food which the boy
enjoys, which lends itself to packing
and which "holds up” in transporta
tion.
Pies are out of the question; so also
Is roasted chicken unless the distance
Is short and the weather very cold. But
Instead of pies we can send him canned
fruits such as peaches or pineapple,
jams and marmalades. If he is par
ticularly fond of chicken we may send
him a quality brand of canned chick
en. In that case be sure to send him
some home-made bread to serve with
It.
i’otted cheese may be sent in a sim
ilar way. Home-made cake of his fa
vorite variety should occupy a .place
of honor. If distances are great a fruit
cake or a chocolate nougat cake has
the necessary “keeping qualities.” These
“keeping qualities” will not be neces
sary after it has once reached its des
tination.
Cookies may well be wrapped and
used to fill up the spaces in the box.
They are sure of a hearty welcome from
our boy and his comrades in camp!
Candy is welcome for it answers the
natural “boy craving” for sweets. Some
boys crave tart foods and these will
appreciate a bottle of quality pickles.
We have a wide variety of food from
which to choose. Our particular boy’s
preferences and the amount we have to
spend are practically our only limita
tions.
Better send less each time and send
often.
Pack the food attractively as well as
substantially.
Although our boys are soldiers they
are boys with the same appetites which
emptied our cookie jars so rapidly.
They are sure to appreciate the box of
eats for our boys in camp.
EARLY DAYS OF STRIFE
DISPLAYED IN PICTURES
(By Reciprocal News Service.)
London (by mail)—The cinema the
aters. which are packed just now. are
not the most pleasant places. The spe
cial attraction is Pathe’s “Histoid of
the War,” the first chapters of which
Bhow England's preparations in August,
1914.
With the permission of the British
government, these pictures have just
seen released in England. They com
prise recruiting station scenes taken
a. few days after the declaration of
war. the embarkation of the first ex
peditionary force, "the contemptible
iittle army," the landing In France and
‘.he retreat from Mons.
Widows and bereaved mothers and
sisters see or hope to see in these pic
tures living flashes of their beloved
nero dead. With the greatest tensity
they lean forward to search the screen
for their boys swinging along with
resolute comrades. As the world knows,
this first army was almost totally sac
rificed in barring the way to Paris and
temporizing until reinforcements could
Oe organized in England, so that near
ly every face in these moving pictures
holds tragic interest for some woman.
Some go away in tears, some return
to make sure and some sit through sev
eral performances without being sat
isfied. _
The Graveyard of Reputations.
The Balkan-Macedonian campaign is q
graveyard of military reputations for al
lied chieftains. The fame of several British
generals was buried on the shores of the
Dardanelles. When the center of activity
In that region was transferred to Saloniki
the British general command, having re
ceived a very black eye, stepped a si da
and the French general, Sarrall, who ha<|
won an excellent fighting reputation in
France, and particularly at the battle of
the Marne, was put in absolute charge.
General Sarrail has had a long trial
since October, 1915. A little more thaq
a year ago he operated a brilliant offen
sive at Monastir. He seemed to be the
right man in the right place. He showee
wisdom and firmness in the handling of
the Greek situation while King Constan
tine was still on deck. But since Monastii
he has not perceptibly advanced the allied
lines.
Whether it is the esential difficulty of ?
mountain country that has balked him
or whether he is inherently unfit for hit
difficult task, no doubt only the verdict ot
history can decide. But In any case his
government has given him up. He ha**
been displaced, and will go homo a fail
ure—perhaps an honorable failure, but a
failure nevertheless. The painful paths
of this war are now decorated with th«
ruins of another military reputation.
The man who takes Sarrail’s place,
General Guillemet, cannot be congratur
lated. He has a task that may prove In
superable. Military critics long ago agreed
that the allies cannot hope to force their
way through the mountains into old Ser
bia or into Bulgaria. If Guillemet should
ever succeed in doing this he will nave
proved his possession of military genius.
Perhaps the allies have reason to appre
hend a greet German offensive towa-d
Saloniki, and are pre^ring for a defen
sive campaign there '•> In either case,
they need the best ab l.ty they can get in
the Saloniki command.
Passing the Wind.
From the Detroit Free Precis.
William Jennings Bryan said in a tem
perance address in Kankakee:
"A little boy once asked his father at
dinner:
“ ‘Pa, what makes your nose so red?’
” ‘The wind, of course,’ the father an
swered gruffly. ‘Pass me that can of beer,
and don'tf have so much to say.’
“ 'Yes, Willie,’ eaid the mother with the
sweetest <)f smiles, ‘pass your father the
wind, and be very careful not to spill any
on the table cloth.’ ”
Repetition of Styles.
From the Washington Star.
‘‘I hear they are wearing paper cloth
ing In Europe.”
“Which show3 how fashions repeat
themselves,” observed Miss Cayenne. My
grandmother used to wear quantities of
newspaper when bustles were in style.”

CHAPTER ORE—(Continued).
The voice died away. He re
peated several times, as though in
a nightmare:
“The teeth ! the teeth ! They’re
closing!”
Then his voice grew fainter
still; and inarticulate sounds is
sued from his pallid lips. His
mouth munched the air like the
inouth of one of those old men who
seem to be interminably chewing
the cud. His head sank lower and
lower on his breast. He heaved
two or three sighs; a great shiver
passed through his body; and he
pioved no more.
And the death rattle began in
his throat, very softly and rhyth
mically, broken only by interrup
tions in which a last instinctive ef
fort appeared to revive the flicker
ing life of the intelligence, and to
rouse fitful gleams of conscious
ness in the dimmed eyes.
The prefect of police entered his
office at 10 minutes to 5. M. Des
malions, who had filled his post
for the past three years with an
authority that made him generally
respected, was a heavily built man
of 50, with a shrewd and intelli
gent face. His dress, consisting
of a gray jacket suit, white spats,
and a loosely flowing tie, in no
way suggested the public official.
His manners were easy, simple,
and full of good natured frank
ness.
He touched a bell, and when his
secretary entered, asked:
“Are the people whom I sent
for here?”
“Yes, Monsieur le Prefet, and
I gave orders that they were to
wait in different rooms.”
“Oh, it would not have mat
tered if they had met! However,
perhaps it’s better as it is. I hope
that the American ambassador did
not trouble to come in person?”
“No, Monsieur le Prefet.”
“Have you their cards?”
“Yes.”
I he prefect of police took the
five visiting cards which his sec
retary handed him and read:
“Mr. Archibald Bright, first
secretary United States embassy;
Maitre Lepertuis, solicitor; Jean
Caceres, attache to the Peruvian
legation; Major Comte d’Astrig
nac, retired.”
The fifth card bore merely a
name, without address or quality
of any kind—
*.’■
; Don Luis Perenna. :
“That’s the one I’m curious to
see!” said M. Desmalions. “He
interests me like the very devil!
Did you read the report of the for
eign legion?”
“Yes, Monsieur le Prefet, and I
confess that this gentleman puz
zles me, too.”
“He does, eh? Did you ever
hear of such pluck? A sort of
heroic madman, something abso
lutely wonderful! And then there
is that nickname of Arsene Lupin
which he earned among his mess
mates for the way in which he
used to boss them and astound
them ! * * How long is it since the
death of Arsene Lupin?”
“It happened two years before
your appointment, Monsieur le
Prefet. His corpse and Mme.
Kesselbach’s were discovered un
der the ruins of a little chalet
which was burnt down close to the
Luxemburg frontier. It was found
at the inquest that he had
strangled that monster, Mrs. Kes
selbach, whose crimes came to
light afterward, and that he
hanged himself after setting fire
to the chalet.”
“It was a fitting end for that—
rascal,” said M. Desmalions, “and
I confess that I, for my part, much
prefer not having him to fight
against. Let’s see, where were
we? Are the papers of the Morn
ington inheritance ready for me?”
“On your desk, Monsieur le Pre
fet,”
“Good. But I was forgetting:
is Inspector Yerot here?”
“Yes, Monsieur le Prefet. I ex
pect he’s in the infirmary getting
something to pull him together.”
“Why, what’s the matter with
him?”
“He struck me as being in a
queer state—rather ill.”
“How do you mean?”
The secretary described his in
terview with Inspector Verot.
“And you say he left a letter
for me?” said M. Desmalions with
2
a worried air. “Where is it?’’
“Among the papers, Monsieur
le Prefet.”
“Very odd: it’s all very odd.
Verot is a first rate inspector, a
very sober minded fellow; and he
doesn’t get frightened easily. You
might go and fetch him. Mean
while, I’ll look through my let
ters. ’ ’
The secretary hurried away.
When he returned, five minutes
later, he stated, with au air of
astonishment, that he had not seen
Inspector Verot.
“And what’s more curious
still,” he added, “is that the mes
senger who saw him leave this
room saw him come in again al
most at once and did not see him
go out a second time. ’ ’
“Perhaps he only passed
through here to go to you.”
“To me, Monsieur lc Prefet? I
was in my room all the time.”
“Then it’s incomprehensible.”
“Yes * * * unless we conclude
that the messenger’s attention was
distracted for a second, as Verot
is neither here nor next door.”
“That must be it. I expect he’s
gone to get some air outside; and
he’ll be back at any moment. For
that matter, I shan’t want him to
start with.”
The prefect looked at his watch.
“Ten past 5. You might tell the
messenger to show those gentle
men in * * • Wait, though-”
M. Desmalions hesitated. In
turning over the papers he had
found Verot’s letter. It was a
large, yellow, business envelope,
with “Cafe du Pont-Neuf” print
ed at the top.
The secretary suggested:
“In view of Verot’s absence,
Monsieur le Prefet, and of what he
said, it might be as well for you to
see what’s in the letter first.”
M. Desmalions paused to reflect.
“Perhaps you’re right.”
And, making up his mind, he in
serted a paper knife into the en
velope and cut it open. A cry es
caped him.
“Oh, 1 say, this is a little too
much! ’ ’
“What is it, Monsieur le Pre
fet?”
“Why, look here, a blank * * •
sheet of paper! That’s all the en
velope contains!”
“Impossible!”
“See for yourself—a plain sheet
folded in four, with not a word
on it.”
“But Verot told me in so many
words that he had said in that let
ter all that he knew about the
case.”
“He told you so, no doubt, but
there you are 1 Upon my word, if
I,didn’t know Inspector Verot, 1
should think he was trying to play
a game with me.”
“It’s a piece of carelessness,
Monsieur le Prefet, at the worst.”
“No doubt, a piece of careless
ness, but I’m surprised at him. It
doesn’t do to be careless when the
lives of two people are at stake.
For he must have told you that
there is a double murder planned
for tonight?”
“Yes, Monsieur le Prefet, and
under particularly alarming condi
tions; infernal was the word he
used.”
M. Desmalions was walking u{5
and down the room, with his hands
behind his back. He stopped at s
small table.

To the Editor Daily Chronicle—Sir:
When conversing lately with an Amerlcar
officer who holds an Important positior
in the American army, I was startled tc
find that there Is a very pronounced and
growing feeling of hot indignation lr
America at what my friend described as
the “criminal attitude” of the British
government and people towards the drinli
question. It may not be yet generally
known, but it is a fact, that the Amerlcar
high command will not allow their young
soldiers to visit London when this car
possibly be avoided. The demoralizing
atmosphere of our big cities forms a dan
ger zone which Americans feel their sol
dier*? ought not to be permitted to enter
Thla ls» sufficiently humiliating for us
but a greater danger lurks behind. This
will cause rupture with America unless
we beware, for our American allies are
in no mood to allow the wholesale cor
ruption of their soldier boys for the sake
of filling the purses of British brewer*
and shareholders of brewing interests. My
friend admitted it is not the business of
Americans to interfere In British legisla
tion, but he added, “it is our buaim :\s
to protect our own soldiers, and we shall
do it.”
