battalion of French infantry for a few
weeks. Our cook in peace times was a
chef who drew something like $4,000 a
year. He could take anything and make
it taste. We had banquet at every
meal. even out in the trenches. They
got it out to the men somehow. If a
French army cook had the same allow

the army fare would equal that of any
Broadway restaurant.
The arraignment of the American

was watching some cooks Of the
New Mexico National Guard preparing
a meal on the dust swept mesa near
Columbus, n NJ. The preparation
of the main dish was simple. Tins of
army beef were opened and dumped into
a fiat pan. A few slices of onion we're
sprinkled over it. One of the cooks was
dumping canned peas into a bucket. The
coffee was boiling in huge pot. A
cooks helper was slicing loaves of bread
into the regular ration chunks
This was the principal meal of the
DAVIS ration, for which the United States
pays twice as much as any other nation
in the world. In few moments mess
call would sound, and the New Mexico
volunteers with their mess tins in their
hands would file past the kitchen and
cat this mess with sauce of alkali dust.
There was man with me who had
been with the armies of France since
the war opened. He had lived in the
advance trenches for weeks at time
and he had eaten the rations of the
French army. His face was eloquent
with repugnance.
"How can they cat that truck day

the Philippines | lived for nearly a
month on an exclusive ration of Goldfish

That can prove by testifying that on
my last night in Mexico | ate three
plates of Corned Willie-a record for
the evening-and liked it.
While the army field ration is sub
stantially the same as it was in 1893, it
is safe as yet. AS far as ! could ascer-

to the new army. That is the time when
the utmost vigilance must be observed.
Perhaps the chief reason why the
American soldier is fed so poorly at so
high a cost is that there is no glory to
be obtained in the commissary delart
ment. The officer who invents a new
explosive or a new field pack feels that
he has achieved something, and the
achievement is recognized.
But there is no glamour to inventing a
new bake oven or grub wagon that will
prepare hot and savory food on the
march. An officer who can plan new
system of barbed wire entanglements
would feel that he had accomplished
much. but an officer who had planned
a palatable menu from the field ration
would feel timid about mentioning it.
He would feel that he had done some
thing which might bring derision in
stead of praise.
At West Point the most promising
graduates are assigned to the engineer
corps. the next to the artillery. and so
on. But there are no selections made
for the commissary department. Even
if there were the ambitious young sol
der would be trying to escape the detail.
Yet the commssary department is one
of the most important branches of the
service. The greatest of all generals
acknowledged that in striking cpl
gram.

PRESIDENT pERtsuo or
BROOkINGS, DECLARES THAT
ARTESIAN WELLS MAKE
NO DIFFERENCE

Brookings, S. DIT is a vain hone
to think that the artesian ponds of
South Dakota modify the climate of
the state suggests Dr. f. C. Perisho,
president of South Dakota state COL
lege. He states that while it has
been estimated that the artesian
wells OF the state waste about a
hundred billion gallons of water each
year in useless ponds, yet this enor-
nous amount of water does not affect
the humidity He says:
"A little investigation will show
how futile this very desirable result
really is. The humidity OF a hot
wind is generally twenty per cent or
less. If it were thirty per cent or
more. it would cease to be destruc-
tive, hot wind. In order to add ten
per cent or more or humidity to the
wind! it would require in every one
hundred feet of air 1000 gallons
of water to the square mile. At The
rate of forty inches of evaporation
per year which is rather high for
South Dakota, wind to increase it's
humidity ten per cent would have
to blow 1.500 miles water
"As our hot winds comes mostly
from the south and southwest, the
maximum distance for such winds to
travel over our state would not ex-

REVEAL BETRAYAL
OF TROOPS; AT CARRIZAL.

Washington, ID. C.-Secretary of
War Newton ID. Baker received from
General John j. Pershing yesterday
"a dispatch giving the contents of
three notes. copies of which were
found on the body of Captain Charles
n. Boyd. commander of the illfatcd
American troops at Carrizal
One was the carbon copy Of note
Captain Boyd sent to General Gomez
al Carrizal stating that his command
wished to pass through the town on
"a peaceful mission and asking the
usual military permission.
There was also the original Gomez
reply to this request inviting the
Americans into the town for confer
!ence. Upon these two notes General
Pershing commented: "This looks
like treachery.'
The third note was the copy of a
message to General Pershing stating
that Captain Boyd intended to push
on to Villa Ahumada. This evidence
lends strong support to the state
ments, already made by American
troopers, that the Carrizistas treach-
erously attacked the little party of
American troops after permission had
been granted them to enter Carr1-
|zal
1t is at least evident that Captain
Boyd sought this permission in the
usual way and thereby clearly indi-
Gated that his troops had no inten-
tion of violating instructions or en-
ldeavoring to act Independently of the
Mexican military authorities. Both
at the state department and at the
war department the message found
on Captain Boyd's body is regarded
as highly important evidence. Incl
dentally it completely disproves the
statements made by Mexicans that
the American troops endeavored to
attack and take the town of Car
'rizal or any part of it.
