San Francisco Is Ready for Her Guests


OUEsTs from all parts of the world are

in order to be present at the formal opening

The event itself promises to be most

already present in sufficient numbers to In

100000 visitors to the grounds. Franklin x.
Lane the Secretary of the Interior, will rep
resent the President in the ceremonies, but
Mr. Wilson himself will press the button

chinery in motion.
This exhibition is one OF the most elaborate
ever planned. The men in charge have sue

which are to house the exhibits, and little

aires. 1t might have been a different exhibi-
tion II war in Europe had not nterfered
with the plans of some of the foreign nations,
but the world Is so big and its interests are
so varied that not even a continent in arms
can prevent the arrangement of a splendid
industrial show.
And the managers of the fair have gone
ahead with their plans confident that the
flood of travel this year will be westward
and not eastward. The Americans who
usually spend the summer in Europe will go
west this year and learn something of their
own country They will doubtless find their
imagination stirred by the vision of the Far
East which will confront them as they look
through the Golden Gate, and the vast field
for American energy and enterprise which
there spreads itself out. And they will also
see in imagination the Panama Canal filled
with the shipping of the world bound for
American ports on the coast of both oceans
Every fastener who can get so far from
home this summer should make the educa-
tional trip across the continent

Prosperity In a Circle

CECRETARY OF LABOR WILSON has a

and harbor improvements. Let Federal
State and municipal authorities do the same'
and there will be work all the year round
for those who want 1t"
Goodl 1t is a splendid timeN for the be-
ginning of great public enterprises that
would be undertaken anyhow. But this idea
of a. paternal Government that will always
furnish work and wages for the people Is
decidedly awkward No people ever got rich
by taking money out Of one pocket and put
ting 1t into another. There can never be any
permanent prosperity achieved by piling on
taxes for the purpose of doing them back
to the people as wages. That nevertheless
Is the principle on which many of our states-
men base their conclusions. They are con-
vinced that business is something to be
whacked and government something to be
fed with pap

there will always be unemployment unless
business is encouraged instead OF discour-
aged the sooner the country will be back on

COOKS WITH IRON CROSSES
They've Earned 1t Under Fire for 100 Per
Cent. Bravery.

Cent. Bravery.
"YTHERE isn't anything heroic about
i cooks" writes Herbert Corey to the
New York Globe, land when things go wrong
one either apprehends cook as chasing q
waiter with a bread-knife or giving way to
tears" Yet the German army contains many
a cook whose expansive apron is decorated
with the Iron Cross. "And the Iron Cross"
Mr.. Corey reminds us, 'Is conferred for one
thing only-for 100 per cent. courage" The
writer tells an interesting tale:
They've earned It, said the man who had
seen them. They are the bravest men in tho
Kaiser's four millions. I've seen generals
salute greasy paunchy, sour-looking army
cooks
"The cooks job is to feed the men of his
company. Each German company is fol-
lowed or preceded by a field-kitchen on
wheels. Sometimes the fires are kept going
while the device trundles along The cook
stands on the footboards and thumps his
bread. He is always the first man up in the
morning and the last to sleep at night. The
Teuton believes in plenty of food-of sort.
A well-fed soldier will fight. A hungry one
may not.
when the company gets into camp at
night said the man who knows, the cook is
there before it, swearing at his fires and the
second cook, and turning out quantities of a
depressing-looking veal stew, which is. new
ertheless very good to eat
when that company goes into the
trenches the cook stays behind. There is
no place for a feld-ktchen in four-foot
trench. But these men in the trench must
be fed. The Teuton insists that all soldiers
must be fed-but especially the men In a
trau ~
these must have tight belts. Upon their
staying power may depend the safety of an
army.
So as the company cannot go to the
cook, the cook goes to the company. When
meal-hour comes he puts yoke on his
shoulders and a cooks cap on his head and,
warning the second cook as to what will
happen If he let's the fires go out, puts a
bucketful of hot veal stew on either end of
the yoke and goes to his men. Maybe the
trench Is under fire. No matter. His men
are in that trench and must be fed
Sometimes the second cook gets his step
right here. Sometimes the apprentice cook
the dish-washer-is summoned to pick I'D
the cooks yoke and refill the spilled buckets
and tramp steadily forward to the line.
Sometimes the supply OF assistant cooks,
even, runs short. But the men in the
trenches always get their food.
'" ""rhat's why so many cooks in the Ger
man army have Iron Crosses dangling from
their breasts said the man who knows. No
braver men ever lived. The man in the
trench can duck his head and light his pipe
and be relatively safe. No fat cook yoked
to two buckets Of veal stew ever can be safe
as he marches down the trench under fire.
But he always marches. His men are always
ted' ana fed on time. The hero of the
German campaign is the fat cook of the
field-kitchen.'"

quoted Mr.. Walsh, but that gentleman has
