Orable three days in the little harbor
town than an aggregate of similar
business during the fiscal year.
LONDON, June 21.-(By mail to
New York.)-The greatest outrage
against the British army is the gas
tronomic outrage.
So charged the Womans Liberal
Federation at meeting headed by
Lady Aberconway here today.
After listening to details told by
delegates of ill-treatment to which
British soldier stomachs are subject
ed and the charge that men army
cooks are rankly inefficient and
wasteful, the meeting adopted resolu-
tions praying the government to en-
ploy female army cooks A plea for
women cooks in military hospitals
was also made.
One delegate told how a blacksmith
enlisted in the army and was assign
ed to the regimental cook tent. The
soldiers who bravely struggle through
their meals are facing a greater dan
ger at the mess table than on the
battlefield, she declared Another
told how the same utensil in a cook
tent at Aldershot was used to boil
mutton at noon and to make tea at
night. She protested vigorously
against this greasy tea for soldiers.
Mrs Anderson, a Colchester dele
gate, declared that while domestic
arrangements of the war office were
in the hands of men there was no
chance for improvement.
1T isn't the amount in the army
that is costing the country so much,
she said "but the amount wasted.
There are many women who have vol
unteered for war service who could
cook for messes Of $50 to 200 men,
and their employment would prevent
waste"
The meeting also adopted reso-
luton protesting against the army
practice of serving the last meal Of
the day to private soliers at 4:3O p.
m. which, it was declared. was a di-
rect incentive to their seeking further
refreshment in saloons.

Stories From the War Zone

news thar Hnbbard's body was found.
They had no incentive to jump at
conclusions. They were willing to
send reports as reports developed but
were loath TO make news out of
the CHASTITY surroundings.
1t was unaccounted how proni-
nent resident of a New England man
ufaeturing city wandered for two days
aimlessly searching for his missing
family; how he finally connected with
kindhearted man who listened to
his disconnected story and aided him
in search of the morgues 1t was
not related how strong men hysteri-
cally laughed as they told of parting
from their loved ones as the Lusitan-
Ia sank: how they themselves were
saved and had since failed to find
their wives or daughters or sons
The story Of how a prominent Am
erican auto manufacturer, clad in
makeshift garments, spent the night
in tiny second rate hotel without
a blanket to cover him wasn't told
TO the reporters. He declined an in
terview in True American magnate
fashion as he left the Queenstown
railroad station.
Little was said of how the kind
hearted Irish people of Queenstown
opened their homes to care for wom-
an survivors who had lost all and in
many cases husbands. sons and
daughters. A certain doctors wife
appropriated every cot in the neigh
borhood and cared for all that came.
Another motherIy Irish woman took
charge of three children and sent
her husband TO the morgues in an ef-
fort TO find their parents. Another
unwritten incident of the disaster
might have been the efforts of
survivor to press agent" his Ann
erican breweries. Seeking the news
papermen to tell them of his expert
ence he also incidentally related in
a loud blustery manner, how, he,
alone, had saved A women and chill
dren during the trying moments
aboard the Lusitania. The story
sounded fishy.
Emphasizing the enormous death
list, the cunard offices in Queens
town, after three days, returned to
the telegraph office hundreds Of tele-
grams to persons who were either
dead in mogues or unaccounted for
From the day. following the disaster
kilograms began to flow in at the
Cunard offices All survivors were
hurriedly listed and their telegrams
were sent to various hotels or plac-
es where they were domiciled. When
all possible had been delivered, the
balance were returned stamped "un-I
claimed"

LONDON, June 21--CBy Mail to
New York some Of the touches Of
human interest emanating from the
sinking OF the great Cunarder Lusi-
tania off the southern coast of Ire
land on May We're not told in the
cables
Little incidents at Queenstown
where the survivors and lifeless vic
Tins were landed were dwarfed by
the more striking details sent back
by the London reporters despatched
to the scene to gather the narratives
of survivors.
They failed to tell at the time how
for three days a telegram addressed
TO Alfred G. Vanderbilt remained on
file at the Queens hotel The hotel
office was a veritable clearing house
for kilograms TO survivors. Hundreds
Of them were placed on a pile and as
application was made, the clerk simp-
~ handed over the pile. Every per-
son who applied paved over the
ever increasing bundle and each one
passed for moment as he came across
the telegram addressed to Vanderbilt
He believed that Vanderbilt at that
moment was dead: either floating
about somewhere on the ocean or
amid the tangled mass that was a
short time before the great Lusitania.
No reporter in his rush to cable.
more salient facts thought to touch
upon the finding Of body that might
easily have been hurriedly identified
as that Of Elbert Hubbard. 1t lay
in the stone town hall morgue along
with thirty other corpses. The lines
of the face, the apparel and other
points readily appealed to the Amer
lean newspaperman who had seen
Hubbard in life But it lacked one
feature-the flowing necktie. There
was no necktie. And this one point
stopped the reporters from rushing

and had obtained a license.
They were laughing happily when
Mrs. Lorena Saunders. So years old,
walked up and placing her hand on

might speak to him for just mo-

him that she had reconsidered her
previous refusal to marry him and
that without him and his love her life
would be so and so, or less.
Mr. Scott tore up the wedding IL
cense, told Mrs Meddaugh that he
would not have made the mistake for

got It and they were wed.
