EAT QUEER THINGS IN PINCH
Find Satisfaction in Stew Made of
Vest, Shoelaces and sIedge
Gear,

There is naturally much talk in
war time of rations and food supply,
and the possibility or probability of
starving out one or other of the bel
ligerents. But it is amazing what peo-
pie will eat at pinch.
A recent arctic explorer seriously
advised the wearing of skin clothing
in preference to wooden, simply and
solely because, If the worst came to
the worst, ones outfit could be stewed
for meal, or at any rate given to the
dogs!
Well, when a man finds enjoyment
and a sort of inward satisfaction in a
stew made of his vest, his shoelaces,
and his sledge gear, he must be pref
ty 'peckish," and when he gets back
to civilization he will make a model
husband, never likely to turn up his
nose at cold mutton on washing days.
The bishop of Yukon thinks moth
ing Of eating his boots. He had prob
ably declared he was ready for that
operation many time when he was
a boy, but he has actually done it
since he came to mans estate-in his
case, the great gold field of arctic
Alaska.

TOO MANY MEXICO TROOPS
FORCES DOUBLE SIZE OREGON
ASKED FOR.
Massine of Men South of Rio Grande
Causes United States Much
Concern.

Washington, d. C.-More than 20
600 Carranzistas have now been mus
tered in for duty along a 500-mile
front just south of the Rio Grande, ac-
cording to Gen. Funston's report to
the war department, following careful
investigation of the Mexican troop
movement. This number is double
that which Gen. Oregon promised to
dispose in Northern Mexico.
The bulk of the 10000 troops. most
ly infantrymen, is massed in Chihua-
hua City and vicinity. Four thousand
are in Chihuahua City, 1000 just
south of there and 5000 have moved
toward Madero, just northwest of
Chihuahua City. Two thousand have
moved toward Ojinaja, 800 miles east
of Chihuahua City, at the tip of the
Big Bend. Others are scattered at
various points on the 500 miles be-
tween Madero and Ojinaja.
Funston Confirms Move.
Gen. Funston said that while the
newspapers reported entrenchment of
the MeXicans his investigation found
no evidence of such move. In. announc-
ing this disposition, Secretary Baker
declared Funston manifested no ap-
prehension.
The nearest Mexican forces are at
Madero, so miles northwest of Per-
shings line.
In contradiction of recent reports
of threats against the American fore
es Funston's message declared Gen.
Trevino recently issued strict orders
that Mexicans insulting Americans
would be summarily shot.

5ELLleERENT NATIONS.
NEARLY 1000 SAILORS
PERISH IN THIS BATTLE
Battle Cruisers crumble, and Armored
Ships Death Traps-5ritish Lose
20 Vessels of Various Kinds
and Germanus IA or More.

London.-In the first great naval
engagement between the belligerent
powers, Englands pride has been
humbled, and the Germans are wild
with delight. The German fleet, long
in hiding in iKel, has at last sailed
forth and dared the British to mortal
combat, with the result that England
now knows the taste of defeat on
the sea. The battle lasted for the full
"a hours.
Three British battle cruisers, the
Queen Mary, interchangeable and In
vincible-three armored cruisers
Black Prince, Defense and Warrior
and eight destroyers were sunk. Six
other destroyers are missing.
That the casualties in the fighting
were heavy is indicated by the fact
that of the crew of some 900 on board
the Indefatigable, only two men are
known to have been saved. Full de-
tails of the fight, in which Zeppelins
are declared to have taken part, are
being gathered by the British admir-
atty, and pending their receipt the
censor is Withholding permission to
correspondents to send out stories
from London.
The German losses, so far as they
are known, are one battleship, the
Pommer; two cruisers, the Weis-
baden and the Frauenlob, and six
German destroyers. 1t is believed
that at least one German cruiser was
sunk.

Estimated Losses.

The scene OF battle was in the east
ern waters of the North Sea, known
as Skagerrak. 1t is probable that the
fleet was on one of the excursions in
to the North Sea which 1t has taken
from time to time during the war and
met, whether or not by design, with
the British fleet.
SkagerraE is an arm Of the North
Sea between Norway and Denmark.
This would indicate that the battle
was fought off the coast of Denmark.
From the reef to the HelgoIand, the
main German naval base in the North
Sea, is about 100 miles.

Admiral Rojstvensky's fleet in the
