These are the words of Fathe,
Gemelli, the Dominican, one OF the
most picturesque figures IN Itnly's
war. Mounting the pulpit at Commons,
fresh from the field of battle. clad in
his regimentals, this priest stirred his
soldier hearers and continues to stir
Italy with his utterances.
Father Gemelli, before. he entered
the priesthood, studied medicine. He
is full, nedged physician. Then the
vows OF the church called and he
became Dominican monk At the
outbreak Of the war, his services
were offered at once to the Patria,

"It will end on that day when all OF

LONDON, (by mail)-"An army
marches on its stomach" as Napoleon
once said. It is the logic of Monsieur
Escoffier, the worlds greatest French
chef who commands the price OF
prime minister for "chefing" at one
of Londons greatest hotels.
"Ah, you ask, why are the Germans
defeated, why ia the victory of the
allies certain" said M. Escoffier to
an interviewer today.

beaten by his perfidious cook
NJ Escoffier, who twice in recent
years has been called upon by the
kaiser to prepare royal banquets,

should erect a great monument to
those terrible German Chefs whose
