GAVE MOTHER
COUNTRY SHIPS
FOUR VESSELS USED AS HOS.
PITFALLS EXCLUSIVELY FOR FOR
EIGNERS, GIFT OF WEALTHY
INDIAN PRINCES.
BY ASSOCIATED PRESS.

BouIogne, Dec. 27.-Four English
hospital ships, anchored off Boulogne,
are devoted exclusively to the Indian
contingent, and two more are being
fitted out in India, gifts Of Indian
Princes.
A visit to one Of the ships off Bou-
logne recently disclosed beds for three
hundred, with everywhere the latest
surgical equipment and separate wards
for native officers and for British Off
GERS in the Indian army.
The wounded are swung on deck by
a smooth-running crane, and to
tighten the ordeal provision has been
made for a stretcher wide enough to
carry two. The Indian loves COM
pany, and it is quite customary to
hoist up two comrades in arms at
once.
On the ship caste observances are
respected scrupulously. Fore and aft
are two kitChens-one Hindu, one Mo-
Hindu on the port
side, the Mohammedan on the star
board. Here the food is prepared ac-
cording to all the fastidious require
ment of their religion.
The washhouse and ravatory are de-
signed with the same care, the Mo-
hammedan on the port side, the Hindu
on the starboard. Each must wash
in his own way.

grave of each of the departed SOW

dedicating team, and before the Wood
men reached each grave, the mound or
shaft had been given added beauty by
the placing thereon of choice flowers.
This was the largest number Of mon
ever dedicated in a single day
within the history of the local lodges, |
but each grave was given the fullest |
honors of the order. The grave of Sow |

INDIA TROOPS
ARE GOOD ONES
THEIR GREAT ENDURANCE AND
FIGHTING ABILITY HAVE AS
TONISHED FRIEND AND FOE
ALIKE.
BY ASSOCIATED PRESS

Boulogne, December 27.-The great
endurance and fighting ability of the
native troops from India, who have
come to take part for the first time
in history in a war against white
troops on European soil, have as
tonished those against whom they
have been pitted, as well as all the
allied commanders except the British.
The question which arose In the
British officers mind was whether the
Indian would be able to stand against
artillery fire, to which they never had
been subjected In the frontier wars.
This has been answered in the affirm
ative, and they have proved as steady
under shrapnel fire as the best of their
white comrades in arms. Not only
this, but the commanders Of the allied
armies aver that they show dash and
fearlessness to a remarkable degree,
and have on many occasions displayed
great initiative under the most diff
cult circumstances.
The civilian population makes much
OF them when the opportunity arises,
nut their disciplining is strict, and
this, added to the difficulties of lam
guage, prevents any possibility Of their
AeComing spoiled. When they are
wounded or sick, however, the civil
tans pour showers of presents on them
In the way of warm clothing. Delica-
Cles for consumption are not appre-
Ciated, for many Of the men are for
hidden by the rules Of their caste to
touch no food prepared or offered by
Il person Of another sect Also they
have no desire for dainties, their sim
pie "chupatty,' or bread, which they
lake themselves in the field, being all
they want in addition to their ration
Of goats flesh or poultry and rice.
In a suburb Of Boulogne before the
entrance of a great field covered with
many regular rows of tents, stood a
bronze figure as still as a statue. 1t
was Sikh in his uniform of khaki,
guarding the sanatorium In which
hundreds of his slightly wounded or
aIling comrades from the battlefield of |
Flanders were recuperating from the |
hardships of the campaign These
warriors from the Punjab and Bengal |
are their fellow soldiers, the little, |
hardy Gurkhas and Parthans and Jats |
rom the mountains on the Afghan |
frontier, generally bear the variations |
Of climate with the greatest fortitude. |
They declare they are fighting for
their Raj" or Emperor, and it is not |
Tor them to complain.
Just as we'll drilled and disciplined |
as the soldiers of any European power,
they go into battle with the full as
surance that they will be victors.
When they first went into action they /
dsdained the protection of the shelter
trenches and darted across the open /
1t their opponent enemy with their
0ayonets and knives much to their
worst. II
They have since learned. like all II
@her troops engaged in this war of Il
rabbit warrens, to bore their way II
through the earth to get to their foes,
ana they have proved even more adept
Z this kind of fighting than their
European comrades.

MINSTREL SHOW
BY The Y. NJ. c. A.
MANY NEW AND NOVEL FEA-
TURES ARE PROMISED FOR
THE ATTRACTION TOMORROW
NIGHT BY LOCAL TALENT.

The Y. NJ. c. A. minstrel show,
which is to be given tomorrow night
at the Y. NJ c. A. building will have
many new and novel features. Aside
from the first part of the minstrel
show. the OIio surpasses anything Of
its kind that has YET been seen in
Pensacola.
Mr. Barber in impersonations and
songs, will be one of the features that
will long be remembered by those
present. Mr.. Barber is man of rare
talent, and this being his first appear
anCe in Pensacola will make this one
of the special features of the show.
Mr.. Burnham has a trained troop of
gymnasts who will give an exhibition
of hair raising, death -defying para
Iel-bar work. The officers are par
ticuIarly pleased with this act as 1t
represents the training Of local talent
to a high degree.
AS a compliment to the association,
and as a token Of their appreciation
for the services of the Y. NJ. c. A,
the men of the San Francisco. mine
ship, will present the three closing
features of the show
The first of the San Francisco
Sketc1 IS enLlLleus ne IIdH AClOTs
and is composed of Messrs. f. c.
Nance and Ben Jones. Mr.. Nance is
one of the most popular entertainers
in the service, having been the lead
ing FUN maker in many entertain
ments. In the absence of his part
ner, Mr.. Ben Jones, Pensacola's lead
ing comedian, will support him in this
act.
j. L. Fritz and j. DeFfllippo will put
on a clever musical act. This pair has
long since been Grown King of the
entertainment world by The
Jackie" and therefore slated as
among the best obtainable for this
occasion. The third act Of the San
Francisco will be announced later as
the officers wish to make it a sur
prise.
There will be a full dresss rehearsal
tonight, so that there may not be a
hitch on the night Of the entertain
ment.
Tickets may be secured by phoning
or calling at the Y. NJ. c. a. building.

depressed over not getting anything
than over any of the hardships of war.
"My second Christmas, I was sur
prised by a racket. A comrade in
arms, out of the goodness of his heart,
wrote to his sister to send me some
thing-a Christmas gift from Old
England. Instead of Sinking off to
hide my disappointment, I was able
to show my present to the others. In
fact, 1 seemed to feel several inches
taller. The girl whose heart went out

land while this proceeding was pend
ing. The New England carriers
sought approval in this case OF an
increase only in rates on traffic NOV
ing between that territory and other
parts OF official classification territory.
They did not propose general , per
cent increase in their freight rates. In
other words. the New England lines

by following the suggestions made
in the original report, the carrier could
undoubtedly secure more additional
net income than the amount estimated
TO accrue under the proposed horl-
zontal rate increase and far more than
can accrue to them under the relief
now afforded in the supplemental re-
port.
81 can not but think that a general
increase in the standard rates OF this

these carriers remain full of discrm-
nations and wrongful practices, that
we plead their revenues is morally
wrong. That the placing OF additional
burdens OH interstate commerce that
is not also placed upon state commerce
is also wrong: and that the course ap-
proved in the supplemental report VIII
ultimately be as disastrous to the car
yiers themselves as il will be harmful
to the general interests
Chairman Harlan, considering the
European war says: THE results of
that conflict which is unparalleled Ill
recorded history, are accepted III part
by the commission as the basis Tor
the actions and proposals in the sup
elemental report. Just how long the
war may continue no one can ccnjec-
turc. To what extent it may impair
and impede our general prosperity
and commerce cannot be predicted.
Both undoubtedly are seriously men
aced by its further continuance: and
on these grounds we are urged at the
further hearing to grant immediate
relief. The objection was made that
in deciding the general rate question
before us we have no right to be
governed by conditions presumably
temporary in their nature, like those
incident to the war, nor TO consider
the impending; effects on general bus
mess and prosperity in this country.

BEST FARM POULTRY BREEDS.
General Purpose Fowls Are the Most
Profitable Kinds for the Farm
crs to Raise.

TO the question that is asked often
est by farmers who want to improve
their poultry nocks, (Which is the
best breed?" Professor Bittenbender,
Of the agricultural extension depart
ment OF Iowa State college, makes
this answer:
"The breeds that generally give the
best results on the farm are the gen
eral purpose breeds. The Plymouth
Rocks. Wyandottes, Rhode island Reds
and Orpingtons belong to this class.
The Leghorn, Minorca. Ancona and
Andaiusian are egg breeds, but the
whole profit from the flock does not
come from the sale Of eggs alone. but
also from market poultry. If produc-
ton is reckoned for the year the egg
breeds will probably lay q few more
eggs than the heavier fowl o: the So
called dual purpose class. 1t is also
true, however, that egg breeds do not
lay as consistently throughout the
winter where the climate is cold and
variable, but their spring and summer
laying gives them their larger egg
record. The price received for these
eggs is not quite as high as for winter
eggs, and hence as good profit may
generally be secured from the eggs OF
the heavier breeds, such as the Rocks.
Reds. WyandOttes and OrpinStons.
Besides this, more money can be Sc
cured from the sale of stock OF the
heavier birds each year. If the heaV-
Ter breeds are raised. the two ad-
vantages will give q larger profit than
the egg breeds"
