to the War Department.
The officers are not permitted 10 eA-
press opinions in advance or their ofnclal

vations in the field to warrant the state
ment that the Board will recommend that
its own ration be adopted
The War Department asked for a ration
occupying the least poSSiote amount OF
space, and that would keep soldiers sent
into a hostile country. remote from their
base of supplies. in good health ana
strength for from three to five days.
With the Boards own ration the men
did not lose in weight, their health was
good, and the food was more pa!ataole at
the end of five days than on the first day.
This ration having given most satfslac-
uion. it was decided to use it in a final and
rigid test.
To make the conditions as severe as
possible the men were taken into an I'M
inhabited Indian reservation, where they
were unable to get any food, ara maze

a great event with the lawyers, especial
~. Justice Horace Gray, of the United
States Supreme Court, will deliver the
address in Richmond. Prominent attorneys
will be here from all parts Of the State and
flom other States.
The Richmond lawyers are anxious that
the city or the State Bar Association shall

Vert it into Il museum Their idea is to
make it a place that lawyers from all
parts of the country would delight to
visit. The plan is to secure all the litera-
ture possible bearing upon Judge A1arshalfs
life and have ''Harshall relics in all the
rooms. This house was for many years the
residence Of the late Col Frank G. Ruffin
and his sisters, and the property belongs
