Iced chocolate is sometimes served at
hot weather luncheons Instead of iced
tea or coffee. A formula for it is to make
the cocoa in the proportion of a heaping
teaspoonful to each half pint of boiling
water. This is mixed and cooked in a
double boiler for five minutes, and sweet
ened as it is taken from the fire. When it
is cold. about a half a cup of cream is
added. The whole is then beaten with a
Dove beater until very light. It should
be served in tail thin glasses half filled
with powdered ice.

THE POSSIBILITY OF TEMPORARY
REVERSE

1t should be understood that Admiral
Dewey has set a mark which those who
succeed him cannot reach If there are those
who expect it they will be doomed to dis
appointment To destroy large fleet in a
hostile harbor without the Gripping of
ship or the loss of "a man is feat which
has no parallel in navallhistory. 1t will not
occur again. In the nature of things we will
experience losses. 1t is not improbable that
We may lose ships. When our army is land
ing in Cuba it may suffer considerable loss
1t may suffer temporary defeat. War is so
destructive that it is in the nature of an i'm
possibility that one party to it. and the ag-
gressive party, should escape injury
This suggestion is made that we may be
prepared for temporary reverse and be able
to bear it with philosophical equanimity. As
people we are now more elated than is
prudent. We are anxious to have a naval
battle and great victory every day. If we
do not achieve another victory soon we are
in danger of falling from the giddy height of
our present elation to something like de-
spondency. If we should suffer repuse there
is danger that some Of the most enthusiast
tic will turn faultfinders and blame the au-
thorities. Now. while everything is going
our way let prepare our minds for the
possibility of turn in our more than good
fortune.
A great nation of self-respecting people,
proud of its prestige and intent on taking
a foremost part in the affairs of the world,
must have steadiness of purpose. Enthusi-
asm is well If it is not simply mere explo-
sion of sentiment, but a sober and realizing
sense of our greatness and our ability to
lead the van of civilization and progress,
which means greater opportunity for our
people in every walk of life, should give us
poise and self-control. We need to be as far
removed as possible from that fickleness of
the Spanish populace which would have
harnessed itself to the carriage of the Queen
Regent had Dewey been defeated in Manila
harbor and drawn it through the streets
with deafening huzzahs, but which assailed
the authorities because he was victorious.

THE BREAD RIOTS.

In country that is full of DEMONSTRATING
food 1t is hard to understand the conditions
which have caused bread riots in Italy and
such a scarcity of bread in German cities
for the masses that it is called famine. We
cannot conceive of food being so scarce and
high that the masses are unable TO purchase
it, Even if wheat should be high and scarce.
we have an abundant supply of corn. the
value of which as food we have only begun
to appreciate.
Italy is more an agricultural country than
anything else. 1t oftener raises wheat TO
export than it is obliged to import it for
consumption. Many of its people are
obliged to eat the coarsest food. and many
seldom know the luxury of having enough
to eat to appease hunger. AS nation Italy
has not made progress in score of years
To some extent this is due to the people,
but more to the wretched misrule of the
country. The masses do not own the land
they poorly TILL while the aristocracy, in
spite of its exactions is generally poverty
stricken. In recent years Italy's rulers have
ignored the modern idea that national power
can only be attained by the smaller nations
by the education of the people and the bet
tering of their condition. They have at
tempted to follow richer nations in main
tanning large army and in building up a
modern navy at great expense. Into the
policy of Italy the elevation of the people
does not enter. The masses exist to be
taxed. For this reason Italy with her large
army is one of the decaying nations whose
people seek other lands to obtain bread.
The masses regard government as foe and
an oppressor. Corruption has honeycombed
every branch of the government Under
such conditions bread riots are a natural
result, because the people have no regard
for government.
In the cities of Germany dear bread is the
cause of complaint, but there there are no
threats of riots because the grievance will
be taken into the elections, the issue being
the duty on breadstuffs during a period Of
high prices. The rulers of Germany gen.
orally legislate in the interest of the people
There will be no riots in Germany An edu-
Gated and sturder people have better
methods than the barricading of streets and
the sacking of storehouses to obtain what
they desire.
The scarcity of bread now and the APP
parent abundance year ago show how mar
row is the margin between abundance and
scarcity. The wheat crop of 1897 was not
500, GOO, coo bushels less than that of the two
years previous, yet that narrow difference
in the worlds harvests measures the mar
gin between an abundance and a deficiency.
Thus the world, in the matter of bread,
lives from hand to mouth. A deficit of $780,
100000 bushels in crop means high prices
and scarcity

TG BID THEM FAREWELL.
Citizens and Veterans Anxious to Give
the Boys Send-OR.

There is a general desire on the part OF
the citizens of Indianapolis to have the
troops now in camp at the fair grounds
march through the streets of the city when
they leave for the South or wherever their
destination is to be. instead of being loaded
on trains at the fair grounds and whirled
through the outskirts of the city without
the citizens having the chance to give them
the benefit of farewell which they would
remember. even in the heat of battle, and
which the citizens feel is due the soldier
boys as an expression of the feeling toward
them of those who are to stay at home.
Inquiries have poured in on those who are
supposed to know as to whether or not this
would be done and, if not, why such an
arrangement could not be made. Governor
Mount states that he has nothing to do in
the matter, but would certainly not oppose
1t, and Lieutenant May says that he has no
objection to such an arrangement, SO, in all
probability, it will be made.
The plan which probably will be followed
oIt is that when the troops which are to go
first are ready to start they will be equipped
in heavy marching order, formed in col
umnS and parade from the fair grounds into
the city and through the principal streets
to a convenient point to take the trains
which will carry them to their destination.
The boys themselves would be delighted
with such a thing. 1T is expected that the
Representation that would result If the pa
rade were made would SurpasS anything in
that line that has occurred in indianapolis
since the days of the civil war. An indica-
ton of this is shown in the meeting of the
Maj. Robert Anderson Post, G. A. r., last
night. where committee was appointed to
ascertain the line of march of the parade
and at what time it would take place. and
it is intended to call all the old soldiers
of the city together at some point along the
line, with their banners, and give the boys
a send off that will be the more valuable
to them because it came from men who
had been through the mill.

case he failed of appointment as brigade

These things were made clear to the mind
OF General Mckee. and Governor Mount Of
Tered him the colonelcy of the First Regl-
ment Il have deiberated over this long,
said Governor Mount to him, land | have
come to the conclusion that ii is fitting that
the place be rendered you before the sue
cessor to Colonel Pennington is named.
While | still have confidence that you will
be appointed a brigadier general. l want to

/ have talked with all the re gimental off,
GERS of the First Regiment. While they are
very much attached to Colonel Pennington,
they realize that a man cannot go in the
command of regiment while he Is suffering
with a broken leg. They would be greatly
pleased to have you at their head. This IS
true. Notwithstanding the fact that the APP
pointment of you would necessarily prevent
the promotion of the lieutenant colonel and
all the others in line Will you accept the
appointment as colonel on the condition that
you are not made brgadier general"
No replied General Mckee. My aim
has been to serve the Indiana National
Guard | sun want to serve the state and
the country, but my loyalty TO the men
under me would not permit me to accept a
position which would denote or prevent the
promotion of any of them. / have been con-
nected with the Indiana National Guard as
a whole for several years and prefer to re-
main in that connection to becoming the
commander of part of It,.
Governor Mount said after the interview
with General Mckee that the action ofsthe
latter was taken in spirit of friendliness
to his brother officers. He declared that
General Mckee talked and acted like a man
who had the interest of the Ind ana National
Guard at heart and who felt that he would
best SubSerVe that interest by declining a
colonelcy, even though this made it neces-
sary that he remain at home a private citi-
zen. The Governor insisted, however, that
McKee's chances for appointment as brig
adler general were *!'l good.

Major Thompson has heard nothing of it,
but the impression grows stronger and

of the inexperienced soldier. The Excess
sive drinking of water when heated is an
other source of danger There must be ex-
posure but much of the sickness of camp
comes not SO much from actual exposure
as carelessness in lying or sleeping in damp
places or upon the rotting leaves of the
forest.
The cheerfuness of the soldier has more
to do with his heath and efficiency than
is generally supposed. The really cheerful
soldier who makes the best of his
roundings, is not only the most useful man
to his country, but the most useful one
among his comrades. On the other hand,
the dilatory. sluggish Respondent man is
the first to get sick. He always responds to
the sick call and is the last to leave the
hospital. He is homesick, gloomy and
respondent, and thus the easy victim of any
disease. In fact, he courts sickness He is
q chronic grumbler. and his predictions of
evil would demoraiize a squad if it would
listen to him. There is no instinct of man
illness about such men--a quality which is
essential in good soldier.
Officers may do their best to care for the
welfare of the men under them, but they
will fail in some measure if the men them
selves do not care for their personal we'll
being in camp and on duty Consequently
the best advice which can be given is to re-
peat the fatherly warning to Jim, Take
keer of yourself"

The Arresting Soldiers Rescued Him
from a Worse Fate.
A man who gave his name John Jones
was tried yesterday afternoon at the guard
house at camp on charge of being impli-
outside of the border of the camp and sem
fenced by the justice of the peace of Wash
ington township, who conducted the trial,
to $40 fine and costs, and was taken to the
county Jail to work out the fine because he
had no money with which to pay it. Dur
ing the trial the man, who was about thir-
ty-five years old, broke down and cried and
made a pitiful plea Cor r,er(s, though he
stood firmly on his statement that he was
not guilty, having just come from Millers-
vile, where he had been fishing.
Though he protested against his arrest,
he testified that had he not been arrested
he probably would have been killed. Three
priVateS came upon d crowd standing
around a shell game just in time to see
was lying on the ground mercilessly beating
him with canes. They rushed in and forced
the men away, helped the man on the
ground to his feet and hurried him away to
the guardhouse, when they found that he
was known by the crowd to have been a
"capper" for the shell game. The man was
snearly unconscious, but after a night of
rest and careful attention at the guard
house he came around all right.
With the conviction of this man for run

thorities of the camp feel that they have
dealt fatal blow to these evils that have
threatened the camp. but a careful watch

Ex-president Harrison.
Denver Post.

Kansas City Journal
The address of Hon. Benjamin Harrison
to the Indiana volunteers was thoroughly
characteristic of this distinguished states
man. 1t was full of dignitied patriotism
and free from irritating illusions. 1t was
superbly American. Like his other brief
utterances touching the Spanish American
crisis, it breathed, the modesty of the pri-
waite citizen, even while il was instinct with
the wisdom of the statesman. In all Gen.
Harrison has said relating to the present
administration, he has been scrupulously
mindful of the rights of those responsible
for the affairs of state. His address before
the Lincoln Club of Chicago was one of the
most able, courageous and timely state
ments made by public man In this coun-
try in many years. Without sacrihcing the
modesty that becomes a retired officer. Gen.
Harrison has saved himself from the OBJ
security that has come upon some of his
predecessors after their retirement to pri-
waite life and he has kept fresh in the pub
lie mind a remembrance of the statesman
ship that DISTINGUISHED his -adminstrat ton.

Regulars for. the Philippines.
Kansas city Journal, - 49,

Kansas CITY Journal, 1oIa-T ar-
The rumored plan of the government to
send regular troops to the Philippines would
seem to be the most rational course. The
post will be one of great importance and
considerable danger. The force will have to
be formidable enough to secure possession
of the islands from the Spaniards and pro-
tect it from an ambitious native population
that might revolt against our occupation.
The principal reason, however, for prefer
ring regulars to volunteers is that, what
ever the ultimate result of the war it is
not unlikely that we shall have to maintain
a force in the Philippines for some time to
come-perhaps long after there will be any
use for the volunteers on our own coast or
in Cuba. The army of occupation, pending
the outcome of the war and the results of
reconstruction, should be composed of reg
ular troops rather than volunteers both for
prudential and economic reasons.

DECLINED TO BE A COLONEL.
General Mckee Would Not stand in

General Mckee has declined to accept
colonelcy of an Indiana regiment. His re-
fusal came yesterday when Governor Mount
offered him the command OF the First Regi-
ment. General Mckee called at the office
of the Governor shortly after noon. After
discussing some small matters in relation to

KEGS appointment came up on motion of
the Governor. While Governor Mount is
still of opinion that General Mckee will
be appointed brigadier general. he was
anxious to provide for him in case his name
is not among those nominated by the Pres
ident. The disposition of the Indiana troops
which are to go to three different rendez-
vous, while il has. in the minds OF the pub
lie. lessened the chances of General Mckee
for appointment, has not caused the Gov

annexed forthwith. But our next war
might not be with such a decrepit adver-

our situation, particularly if the war
