Military Migration

Nothing in the history of military
enterprise compares in impressive
ness with the military migration
that is now in process throughout
the United States. The selection
of registrants, the concentration OF
registrants, the mobilization OF all
troops and the dispatch of the men
trained for the front to France, and
their eventual passing into the
fighting lines such is the mlghtlest
military movement the world has
ever known.
For this movement involves not
six hundred Thousand; not mil
lion; not twelve thousand; not
even ten million of men; but the
entire population of fighting age OF
the United States. For every man
is in a sense consecrated and stands
upon orders. This is democracy in
action. And it is in action against
autocracy. The spread of demo-
cracy in Europe, the inspiring
theme of economic and political
writer's since the dawn of the
American republic, has taken on a
military stride, and the two camps
are now pitted against one another
Demos has arisen in his might, and
the peoples of the world will be the
benefciaries of the mighty military
movement that the United States
is experiencing, that the world is
beholding. 1t matters not if one
hundred thousand or ten million
Americans shall be in the fighting
line. Democracy is assured of
victory. And it is current belief,
based upon sound data, that the
new American Army will probably
never do much active fighting be
cause autocracy is too decrepit to
keep on it's feet Elk.

A GENERAL SURVEY OF
The WAR
MONDAY,

The italian victory on the Isonzo
front is increasing in magnitude and
Importance. Unofficial estimates place
the Austrian losses at 100000. Trieste
is under fire from naval guns mounted
On monitors and other craft.
The French General Petain is hold
ing all gains in the Verdun offensive,
despite formidable counter attacks
which the German crown prince Is
launching.
The French commander reports the
repulse of strong assaults. TIE an
rounces the capture of 11G0 prisoners
when the French lines were carried
forward two-thirds of mile to the
outskirts of Beaumont village.
The Germans have resumed attacks
in the Aisne region, but have been
thrust back, Paris reports.

and drawn as soon as possible after
killing. Remove the pin feathers,
SINCE by holding over blazing paper
on the stove. Remove the head and
feet and don't forget the oil bag from
the tail. Carefully remove the gall
bladder and cut open or press the
heart to remove all blood. Wash the
giblets carefully in water and cook
them, If used for gravy, separately In
simmering water, then chop and add
to the sauce.
The real game lover prefers the
gamy taste rather than spices or sea-
sonings that destroy that flavor.
If the fishy taste is not liked, parboil
the birds in water with slice Of onion
before the broiling or roasting.
Quail and partridge being white
meat should be cooked well done, u.s.
ing care not to dry it and lose Its
flavor. Duck, snipe, grouse, squad and
woodcock have dark meat so should be
served rare. ALI meats should be
steaming hot when served. When
trusting birds, use string rather than
skewers as they tear the delicate flesh,
The breasts Of game during the pro.
cess of cooking should be wrapped In
bacon, or thin salt pork, Sitting it to
keep it from curling, fastening On with
toothpicks. AS game lacks fat it
should be well basted while roasting.
Serve it with perfectly sliced and
Drowned potatoes.
Venison should be cooked as one
does mutton and served rare, allowing
10 to 12 minutes to the pound. Serve
with spiced grape jelly or currant jel-
ly.
Avoid game that has hung too long,
as serious digestive troubles may re-
suit from such meat. Birds that are
torn with shot will not keep for any
length Of time.
