Uncle Sam Makes Elaborate
Preparation to Give His Boys
a Great Feast.
BEST FED BODY ON EARTH

The comEnigsary sergeant, that busy
old housewife of each company in the
United States army, is this week turn
ing upside down each company BAR
racks where federal troops are sta
toned, In preparation Tor the ap-i
preaching Thanksgiving feast. The
commissary officers on board each OF
the fighting ships OF the nation are no
less busy below decks. AS a result OF
this activity there will be spread next
Thursday such q banquet for the ma
tons $4,000 lighting men az might
make the mouths of the 90.000,0o water
with envy ifsthey only knew.
For Uncle Sam provides literally for
his fighting force when there is an oc-
casion for the observance of OF the
great natal days. The men of the army
and navy are but boys for the most
part. Most OF them are but "a few
years removed from the times when
their mothers made the most OF such
occasions and there Is not an unocca-
sional touch of Inconsistencies In the
breast OF each. The kindly uncle
knows OF this and bestirs himself to
lessen the pang, his balm being the
feeding to bursting of the inner q
The result Is surprising. The men of
day to such q dinner as il would be al
most impossible for the average civil
ian to buy. For the commissaries Of
the army and navy are great, we'll
oiled machines such as 1t Is almost inn
possible to duplicate in private life.
These sumptuous spreads are accom
plished out OF the regular rations of
the men In the two branches of the
service. IL seems a marvel in these
days of the high cost OF living that
such meals are possible out Of an ex-
penditure for food in the army Of but
23.35 cents per man per day, and in
the navy Of but 1863 cents. Yet the
marvel Is regularly performed, These
men of the military services are pro-
vided, out of these stipends, such food
full OF variety ard OF those elements
that are said to stick to the ribs
But on Thanksgiving day there Is a
very riot OF food.

LONDON, June 5.--Sweeper III, the
fayorite in the English Derby. which
was run today at EPSON Downs,
swept a sufficient number of equine
rivals before him to finish seventh.
Inasmuch as the horse is American
bred. American owned. trained and
ridden. he gave the American con-
tingent the worst jolt they have ever
received at the historic race course.
The only comfort in the race. which
upset ali form and prediction, il that
the winner, Tagalie, was ridden by an
American Jockey. Johnny Reiff.
Another trace OF comfort Is found
in the fact that August Belmont's
horse, Tracery. finished third. This is
only trace. however, for Tracery
never ran in a race before.
