few troops. but which has now been
| vacated, there are numbers OF ne0t
solidly built brick furnaces. one out
side of each cook room.
Now, what is this for?" asks dad
who is overlooking the vacated canton
ment under the guidance of an enlisted
son.
This" explains the son, lis where
all the stuff from the kitchen and din
ing room is burned after each meal.
Everything is scraped up into big bas-
kets and burned here-quantities OF
1t every day."
Seems to me that is q good deal
just one messroom." said dad with
some curiosity. Just what kind of
stuff do you mean?"
"Oh, scraps from the table and places
left over in the kitchen. 1t takes such
a lot to make another meal" returned
the son largely: The cook hasn't time
to fool with bits; SO in it all goes, and
it sure does give us clean camp"
Yes" he admitted on further ques-
tioning. sit sure does look queer to q
fellow used to home ways to see them
burning whole slices Of bread and
hunks Of meat as big as your hand.
Kind Of got my goat, too, when re-
membered how mother was rationine
the folks at home on meatless days
and wheatless days and cutting down
on candy for the kids; but the cook
of messroom is a mighty busy per-
son. He hasn't time to fiddle with a
lot of schaps and the camp has got to
be kept clean and sweet and free from
flies: so. what can you do about it?"
To be sure. the farmers would doubt
less pay a price for the whole al gar
bage and the industry Of hog and
chicken raising take on a fresh impet

army is said to keep hordes of hogs
back of their stationary troops. and
feed them on one breads to think what

U-Boats Hunted Not Hunters.
William Allen White. writing from
European battle fields in Golfers
Weekly says that the German submar-
ines are the things hunted now instead
of being the hunters they once were.
From authentic sources the allies are
informed that Germany has difficulty
in securing volunteers for submarine
work. But the man who refuses to
volunteer can be shot. 1t is easy to
get Germans to come to America to
blow up bridges, burn grain elevators
explode munition plants. spread pacif-
ism and buy congressman with pro-
German votes But the volunteers fol
submarine service are failing of. Navy
men, among the allies, know that when
a crew has been out ten days or two
weeks it il unfit for further service
for period varying from three to six
months The nerve strain 10 too great
The submarine must remain supmerg-
ed so long and breathe bad cir that the
submarine becomes a death trap. Men
lose their nerve Mr.. White says that
Germany can build submarines by the
hundreds or by the thousands but
many of these must lie within the
docks. The allied admirals know that
German steel is not what Vt was be-
fore the war; for German submarines
do not stand the wrack Of the storm
as they stood at first" He says that
Ia submarine lasts little longer than ito
crew A submarine is unable to repair
herself from the inside. She can carry
only a few duplicate parts inside; that
even with mother ship q submarine
is good only for a comparatively shor'
raid; four weeks being about the limit
Allied navy men say chat the average
time out in the north sea IL only seven
days.
