 NAMES OF FOODS

(Corresp ondence of Associated Press.)
 Amsterdam, via, London, Dec. B. The resolve of the Germans to be ex- cluedvely German and to expel even from their menus all foreign words has led to the compilation of a small book which goes over the whole ground of the kitchen, and supplies substitutes for the numerous foreign words at present applied to a variety of German dishes. Some of the titles provoke humorous comments from the German papers.
 The "delicatessen" for which Ger many is famous is henceforth to be known as Leckereinen or tit-bits. Sauces, which have been known by their French cognomen, are to be called Beiguesse, ~ supplementary fluids.

DISLIKED
 GREAT SECRECY ON NEWS ABOUT WAR.

(Correspondence of Associated Press.)
 London, Dec. 2.Lord Roberts views as to the secrecy maintained by the English military authorities re- gard1ng war news, which were widely quoted on the day following his death, are given as follows by a French jour na1ist who talked with 'Bobs'' just before his departure for France:
 While the primary object of my visit to France is to see my Indian troops,i T intend to speak to General French also about the too great secre- cy which is, to my mind, kept by the military authorities at the front and at home concerning the work of the brave deeds of the English soldiers.
 T naturally approve that all rnili- tary movements, whatever they be-. should be kept absolutely secret from the war correspondents; but it seems to me that they should be allowed to receive at least a fair medium of i'm formation. Why not allow them to write, for instance, in detail of the glorious actions fought by our troops, several days, it goes without saying, after these actions have taken place? I am referring naturally to the Eng fish lines. You in France are in a. position different from us You have conscTip tion Every man is called to the eolors and you do not rely on the public enthusiasm to recruit your army.
 '1n England we want men. many more men, and if we do not let our people at home know in detail of the life of our soldiers at the front, of their brave fights and gallant deeds, how shall we awake in the soul of our young men the high sentiment of emulation which will strongly scontri- bute to lead them to the recruiting office
 They are brave. no doubt. and willing to offer their lives to their country if necessary. But they often do not know that it is absolutely nec- essary that every minute they lose now is priceless minute, maybe a battle jeopardized in the future. They do not know well enough that our men are always fighting against tre- mendous odds, that we want more men and still more men to equalize matters. They are not sufficiently able to follow day by day the life and the fighting of their. friends who have. enlisted

EzTEMY,S LANCE DOES
 A PHYSICIANS WORK

CCorrespondent of Associated Press
 Paris, Dec. 2--The chief of bat ta1ion of colonial Infantry tells of this remarkable incident:
 Before the war broke out I suf- 5 fered from an abscess of the liver that was so placed that the doctors said an operation would be too dangerous. I had before me the little comfort ing thought that should have to live with that abscess as long as it would let me. With this prospect in view, it did not cost me any effort at all to summon the courage to wade into the Germans.
 'tOne day we fell upon a band of UhIans; we landed every one of them, but, in the melee, the point of a lance put me on my back with a wound that thought would finally end my suffer1ngs. They carried me to the ambulance and a surgean began to in vestigate the wound. What was that you had inside of you anyway, he asked. Whatever 1t was, that Uhlan has burst it The lance had pierced the abscess and roughly performed, with success. the operation that the surgeon dreaded, and now I am all tmost ready to go back to the front

 Petrograd, Dec. 2.-"What I saw at the headquarters of the Russian com mander-in-chief, the < Grand Duke Nicholas, would convince a blind man that Russia has made great strides in ten years, writes g. correspondent of the Russkoe Slovo 'sAt head-s quarters there is not g. single individ- ual who is not absolutely necessary for the work to be done. The silence of a monastery reigns there, and you can distinctly hear the pulse-beats of the army. Work begins in the early morning, frequently before daybreak.
 T diDed with the grand duke. It was a truly Spartan table. There was no intoxicating drink-only water-at this quick, quiet meal Everybody wore the sort of Oppression which in dicates that there is not; a minute to be lost, that all the time must be utilized to the full. In spite of this, the atmosphere was democratic, there was no air of official importance about anyone.

MANY SOLDIERS
 HAVE NOT FIRED
 SHOT IN MONTHS

(Corresp ondence of Associated Press.)
 Bar-Le-Duq, Dec. 2.-Tens of thou sands of soldiers in the active fight ing army at the front have not fired a shot for a month or two at time. They serve their fortnight at the ex- treme firing line. some hours 8 day in the trenches or just next to them with their own artillery throwing shells over their heads, but never having the chance to empty 8 cart ridge at their adyersaries. The in tervals in the reserve lines are spent in hard work, trenching and fortify ing, repairing roads, building shelters for themselves and the horses and ,in towns, where quartered, keeping streets clean.
 The private is becoming thorough ly tired of the war, but his attitude toward all the unromantic aspects of his work is fine. He understands that in mending a road he is contri- buting to the success of the French armies just as though he were firing a gun. Although he wants the war to get onward and end. he cheerful ly takes the. commonp1ace with the excitement. Some of the excellent. roads back of the lines are being re- paired with poles cut from the for ests laid crpsswisese making the old- fashioned American corduroy road"

WOMAN ARE ACTIVE IN f'SPY MENACED

Correspondence of Associated Press
 London, Dec. 2=WoIne nen'ss clubs in England have been enlisted in the movement to head off the activities of possible German spies and Aus trian and German women have been asked to resign or discontinue their attendance at many clubs which for merly welcomed them.
 A number, of prominent. literary women have urged the English wo- men should be as cautious as Eng fish men about their associates and or Austrian synpathies at a time when chance remarks might give valuable information to the enemy.
 Reports from Belgium and Holland of the activities of women spies who served as goyernessess and servants in Belgium and Dutch families have also thrown suspicion on German and Aus trtan women in service in various parts of England. The Belgian ref ugees who are in England have is- sued general warning against German women as well as German men, and their tales of how Belgium cities were betrayed by German spies in all walks Of life have alarmed the Eng fish.
 Alarming tales have been printed in London papers of alleged German spies high in social and financial cir c1es, and practically all of the leading mems clubs have asked men of Ger man or Austrian birth to resign or refrain from frequenting the club rooms during the war Many sup posed spies high in official life vol untarily left England before the move ment against suspected persons be- came so acute. Charges were gen. erally made that even Germans who had become naturalized had often done so only for business and social reasons and were at heart Germans as much as ever.

ADMIRAL MAHAN
 DIES IN CAPITAL

Washington, Dec. 2.-Rear Admiral Alfred T. Mahan, Ut s. N, retired, acclaimed all over the world as the greatest modern writer on naval strategy,'' died in the Naval hospital here yesterday, "A years old. Death was due to heart trouble.
 The admiral had been in feeble health several weeks, but he was not taken to the hospital until last Sat urday and it was not generally known his condition was dangerous.
 Admiral Mahan had greatly over taxed his strength in study of the present European conflict, and it is thought the long hours he devoted to following the naval operations of the belligerents probably caused the breakdown which hastened his end.
 In the early stages of the present European war Admiral Mahan, whose works are naval textbooks almost the world oyer. discussed for the news papers the significance of the various naval nnaneuvers. He gave up these activities when President Wilson is- sued his proclamation exhorting navy and army officers to desist from any, thing. resembling a partisan discussion of the conflict. But he did not relax his close observations of all that went on in Europe.
 Admiral A1ahan came to Washing ton from. his home in Quogue, L. l., in the early autumn, and had planned to pass the winter here.
 Admiral Mahan leaves his wife, two daughters Misses Helen Evans and Ellen Kuhn Mahan, and one son, I. E. Mahan.
 Commodore Dennis H. Mahan, U. s. N., retired, now at the naval station, sTutuila, Samoa, is a brother.

FOOTBALL OR WAR, IS BIC QUESTION
 IN LONDON TODAY

Correspondence of Associated Press.)
 Londn, Dec. 2,4The warfare be- tween those who want professional football continued during wartime and those who think that the players and employees of the football clubs ought to be at the front, goes on merrily with the Poet Laureate as the latest contributor to the discussion.
 The chief argument of those who oppose the discontinuance of the games, which draw every Saturday even larger crowds than the Aneri- can baseball worlds series contests, is that the loss of the millions of dol lars which the football sfmagnates' pay out for salaries and other ex- penseS-wou1d be a crushing economic blow to a large class, The sporting editor of the Daily News, for instance, says:
 seI contend that football is an abso- lute necessity to the community. Stop it and you will drive the men who are making guns, ammunition, uniforms, boots, etc, into wilderness of the drink-shops on Saturday afternoon The men who are fight ing and will fight later on. or who are doing the nations urgent work at home, have selected professional football as their mode of weekly re- lief from the worries of their labor
 The other side of the argument is presented in an open letter from Dr.. Robert Bridges, the Poet Laureate He says:
 q voice the feeling of the country in, declaring that it is high time pro fessional football should be discon- tnued.
 .sThe sightseeing crowds are not so much to blame | hope, as they appear to be; I take it they are ignorantly nisled by the small body of men who cater for them.
 'sThe whole nation is, mourning for those falling in defense and I would suggest that the heroic death of Lord Roberts is such an occasion as may well serve hese football managers as 9. motive for fixing the term for the cessation of their public entertain- fents.
 Our enemies calculated on finding the mass of our peaple apathetic. If any class is showing itself so, they are traitors and more dangerous than the Germans themselves. It is high time that our footbalIers let the world see what they are really made Of football still holds the attention of a large public, last Saturday there were 4,700 matches played in British Isles, not including boys matches. It fol- lows that over. 10000 men of the right sort for recruiting were kicking a, football about over here, while their more patriotic comrades were being heavily ShaJIaH in Ia
