gagged Knud Rasmussen's little 'Kap York to attend to the Crocker Land expedition business, we are all at sea regarding plans for next sumer. We shall simply sit tight confident that you will make another and even more earnest effort, if that be pos- sible, to relieve us next year."
 The, expedition was conserving it's supply of sugar. and molasses, at the date of writing for cooking purposes. It's members, shut off from any com munfcation with the outside world for many months, were ignorant of it's happenings
 You can scarcely realize how hun gry we are for the news, Dr. Iovey says Nobody sent any papers with the mail which came up by Rasmus- sen, f. e., any in English. Our latest information regarding the war is a resume in Danish which left Copen- hagen in March, 1916. We can only guess as to the possibilities of the Presidential election. We had a lengthy augmentation on the 7th, but what good did it do us."
 The letter to MT. Sherwood on De cemberl 8 told of learning that the steamer Danmark was near them, and said:
 At any rate, there Is ship now within reach which will take out next, year the remaining Crocker Land expedition people and their ef- fects-apd that is very consolatory thought -
 The expedition was sent but ir 1918. Three relief, expeditions have attempted its rescue thus far.

OUR TROOPS IN > FRANCE DOWN
 TO HARD WORK
Pershing's Men Putting in
 Eight Hours Every Day

American Training Camp in France, July 20 = The American troops have been here for less than a week-they are not all here by any means-and they have already made themselves thoroughly at home, so much so that this section of France looks like a little bit of America.
 The correspondent made an ex- tended visit to the encampments yesy terday morning and found the men fit and in good spirits and full Of praise for the friendly co-opefation of the French people, who have wiling ly and gladly given up many of their own comforts to accommodate the army. The available houses, how ever, are not sufficient to accommo- date all the Americans who have ar rived, and so the countryside is dot ted with newly erected barracks that have sprung up over night and make even more picturesque this beautiful neighborhood.
 f< Water is abundant here, but un- certain as to purity, so the troops are ,, adopting Altering methods by means of bags suspended from, tripoIes, which astonish the local nhabftants almost as much as the Americans ir1-
 
 unknown to wine drinkers, many of | whom seldom touch water A task which the army has taken upon itself is the clearing up of the entire coun- tryside, and at the present pace the l whole district will soon look like a we'll ordered garden.
 Such prisoners as. are under arrest for minor infractions of the regula- tions are employed each morning in making headquarters spotless and are bringing such degree of orderiiness into the pace that the original resi- dents are amazed. Likewise they find it dif1ult tp understand why the sol diers takeN so many baths, for the men make for the nearest stream and dive in as soon as they art at liberty.
 The presence of the soldiers here has naturally introduced many novel, ties, but probably none is more wei come than the. daily evening concert.

New York. July s20-Letters receiV- cd here yesterday from Dr. Edmund Otis Hoyey, with the frozen-in Crock CT Land expedition at Etah, Green land. show that the party is short o1 supplies.
 By August 1 Dr. Hovey estimated, their stock of food would be exhaust ed. It ia hoped the steam sealer Neptune, which was sent to their re- lief under command of Captain Rob- ert Bartlett, will have arrived by then.
 The letters, two of them dater No yember 16, 1916, and one December S, 1916, were addressed to Dr. Hen ry Fairfield Osborn. president Of the American Museum of Natural His tory. and Gorge H. Sherwood, assist ant secretary.
 pr. Hoyey led one of the relief ex- petitions to rescue the ill-starreo party under Donald B. MacMillan. His messages, Concerning the condition o1 the men with whom he is maDooned show them to be all right and opti- mistic of rescue.

 An attractive feature of the camp
 Is a lion cub, who occupies a corner
 in the camp of certain | regiment.
 The cub was presented as a mascot
 by American residents in Paris He
 was young and playful and harmless a short time ago, but is growing as- tonishingly and is veritable terror to the townspeople and now a source
 of doubtful amusement to the sol diers, many of whom bear scratches to testify to the nature Of his play fitness.
 An even more strenous course of training Is in force here than at the original camp near the landing point of the troops. The men work a minimum of eight hours daily; the officers from 12 to 16. In addition, they take tremendous hikes to get into condition. Here and there one
 falls by the wayside from the exer- l ton, but the majority are standing
 the gan in a way that speaks volumes for the efficiency of the system.
 Plans are rapidly developing for regular and constant training in CO., | operation with, the French troops en- camped in this district. whose long experience has been placed at the disposal of the newcomers. The French and American Headquarters 1 are in the same building. and there is constant cooperation between the | two forces, which will soon be so de- yeloped that the Americans not only l will have guidance and instruction I from French officials, but virtually
 there will be ans experienced and ltrained mentor for each trooper. They I will be willing mentors, too, for the I French are so enthusiastic about the l Americans that they even march
 about with American flags attached to 1 their bayonets.
 | ] An amusing, but not altogether
 happy feature of the inauguration of l the training camp was the confusion
 into which the telegraph office was | thrown when it found itself confront ed with numerous newspaper des- l patches to handle in place of occa- l siona1 brief messages. The length of
 the despatches-even though they
 were all too brief-compIetely upset
 the operators at the beginning, and 1 their unfamiliarty with the English l language increased the difficulties.
 The situpation is improving.
 As a tribute to the marching ability of the troops, it might be mentioned that the soldiers have lost SO many hobnails on the roads that about half | of the motor cars in camp have pick
 ed them up and have rejoiced there-
 by in punctures.

Royalty is rarely so poor that upon death no will and testament is neces- sary. but Princess Augusta, second daughter of George. III. was g lady whose sbenevolence may be said to have ruined her financially. She hv- ed at time when moral standards at the British court were not partic- uIarly high and it is said of hers-that she refused to attend dinner given by her brother when he had succeeded to the throne because certain wom- an whose reputation was not. of the best, was also to be present.

FEEDING THE BABY

Anna Steese Richardson, the we'll
known authority on the care of babies,
writing in Pictorial Review on the
rearing of her grandson, says: From
his first week Junior had been given
part bottle feelings. Every effort
known to science was employed to en-
courage the flow of breast milk, but
it gradually decreased until the baby
could nurse only half an ounce at
time 1t has disappeared without
causing any discomfort to his mother.
While he was still at the hospital,
Junior passed through the expert
mental stage of artificial feeding. Va
rious formulas were tried, including
top milk with plain water. whole milk
with plain water, and finally top milk
with barley water, lime water, and
sugar of milk When Junior came
home on November goth, he was TAX
ing twenty ounces of bottle feeding
in twenty -four hours, / ounce lime
water and Y ounces barley water. On
November 2Sth Junior indicated that
the formula should be strengthened by
whimpering after emptying his bottle,
fretting until he fell asleep and suck
strength of the formula as follows:
Top milk, ounces; sugar of milk, l
ounce; lime water, 1 ounce; barley
water, IL ounces.
On December 1st, 8 ounces of top
milk were used to 10 ounces of barley
water, and on December Sth breast
milk was withdrawn and the formula
was changed thus: 10 ounces of top
milk to Is ounces of barley water,
ounce sugar of milk, and l ounce of
lime water.
While Junior was being completely
veaned from the breast the doctor de-
red TO test the advisa bility of US
NJ plain water instead of barley wa
ter in preparing the formula. Plain
| water was substituted in making up
| the feelings for twenty -four hours.
! Immediately the bowel movements be-
| came harder. On the second day the
experiment showed curds and a little
| mucuS and Junior began to suck his
| fists and the sleeve of his nightie,
| showing that he was not satisfied. On
the fourth morning, acting on the doc
! tors advice, his mother returned to the
| use of barley water. Within twenty
/ four hours the passages became nor
| NAL, and Junior fell asleep after his
| feelings without a whimper. This
experience should prove to every
| mother that calm observation of the
| baby's condition, ordinary common
| common sense and patience make ii
possible for any mother and family
doctor to work out formula which
| will agree with baby.
