You may be surprised to know that
there is no flag of truce in this war
for burying dead and caring for the
wounded between the fighting lines.
It was Abandoned by the allies more
than a year ago. Time after time
German soldiers advanced under flag
of truce, only to deceive English or
French troops and then make a bloody
attack. Other times when English or
French advanced under flag of truce
they were deliberately shot to pieces
by order of German officers. The
allies put up with this as long as they
could endure it, then quit asking for
flag of truce rights. It is never used.

We are asked to print Mrs. Fred
Harvey's receipt for oatmeal bread,
which is on all the menus in the Fred
Harvey system of hotels, eating
houses and dining cars. Other cooks
are using Brown sugar instead of
molases and they do not find it nee
essary to set at night. The sponge is
kneaded at once into loaves, raises
and is then baked. Some salt should
be added. Following is Mrs. Harvey's
recipe: Set at night: Two cups -of
rolled oats, over which pour three
cups of boiling water. Cover and
steam and when tepid, add one cake
of compressed yeast and one half cup
of molasses. Add white flour enough
to make soft white sponge and in
the morning work a little, raise and
bake. Leave sponge as. soft as posi-

Interesting anecdotes from the var
ious camps have been told but here is
one that comes from Camp Funston
that is actually true. "a lieutenant
was standing on the main thorough
fare, and a private passed him with
out saluting, so the lieutenant penaliz-
ed the young fellow by making him
salute his superior officer 100 times.
During this proceeding a Colonel came
up and asked what was going on, and
upon being told, he reminded the
lieutenant that according to military
rules he must return the salutes of the
private so it turned cut to be quite
an amusing incident and a crowd
gathered to watch the performance,
much to the discontinue of the lieu
