TWO EQUAL ARMIES
IN DESPERATE BATTLE

UDINE, Italy, Sept. 21.-The fight
against the heights northeast of Cor
liza continues night and day during
good and bad weather. The continu-
Gus contest seems to the observer to
be animated by superhuman force
the Italians and the Austrians have
almost constantly engaged In hand
to hand encounters. A strange situa-
ton is brought about by the two
forces, virtually equal In numbers
strength and determination, strug-
Cling for supremacy in a circumscrib-
ed arc where it is impossible for either
side to employ more men or artillery.
Gaps in the ranks are instantly fill
ed and thus the. contending forces
remain so balanced that victory APP
parently is impossible to either side.
The fierceness of the struggle is prov
ed by the fact that in twelve hours
the Italians attacked the enemy five
times.

escaped from the armed trawler run
ashore last week on the Jut!and coast
near Ringkjobing and destroyed by
British vessels. The Germans say that
four trawlers left early Friday morn
ing in pairs, with great steel nets be-
tween them for catching British
mines. Two submarines accompanied
them. The sailors assert that they
made several trips successfully, enabl-
ing the submarines to pass through
the British mine field.
While the German sailors were
standing on the Danish shore after
their rescue a German warship ap-
peared and signalled orders to the
sailors to embark in Danish fish boats

WOMEN COOKS I'M f'-.s 1',s:.
-. THE BRITISH. ARMIES

HEADQUARTERS OF WOMEN'S
AUXILIARY CORPS, BEHIND BRIT
ISH LINES IN FRANCE. Sept. al
One of the revolutions which the war
has wrought in the British army has
been the admission of women cooks to
the camp kitchens everywhere ex-
cept in the lighting lines.
One of the great troubles Of the
Kitchener armies In the early days of
the war was the inefficiency Of the
cooking arrangement. Under the old
regulation scooks had to be drawn
from each unit. but owing to the in
experience Of most Of the citizen SOL
diers in this art, the food In most OF
the units, although plentiful and
good. was badly cooked and badly
served, and the kitchens frequently
dirty and slovenly. In consequence. at
a time when young soldiers especially
needed appetizing food to strengthen
them in their unwonted labors. many
suffered severely from the monoton-
Gus and indigestible meals put before
them. Moreover there was a great deal
of waste.
The first women cooks in the Brit
ish army were employed in August.
1915, at a convalescent camp. and
six months later the formal recruiting
of women for this work was initiated.
Today there are more than 5000
cooks and mattresses In 200 camps
in England alone. Women have also
taken over the kitchen service in all
the Canadian and Australian hospi-
tails, and women instructors are be-
ing employed in the regular army
schools of cookery. One woman who
enrolled as a cook two years ago and
who is now only % years old. has
risen to the rank of superintendent
and is now responsible for the whole
service in a camp of $4,000 men.
The economy resulting from the
employment of women cooks has been
very marked. In one large officers
camp the daily messing charge was
reduced within a few weeks from IS
to 81 cents day. and in addition a
fun of $500 was saved for miscellan-
eous camp purposes. The rate at this
camp is now reduced to Is cents q
day.

SEEKS PRIZE
 F0R ARIZONA
 ATE.XP05|T|0N

The Phoenix chamber of commerce wants specimens of grains and fruits raised in the valley. The exhibits are reaching the chamber in a manner gratifying to the management but more are desired
 All varieties of grain, both threshed and in sheaf are needed, also choice fruits, grasses and corn. Secretary Harry Welch says there is a good chance to win the state prize for best exhibits at the International Soil Pro- ducts exposition at Peoria, H.. next month, and every choice product brought to the chamber helps just that much more toward winning that prize.
 Among the products brought to the chamber of commerce recently is some extra choice kaffir and milo from the j. H. Minter ranch. The best heads of grain sorghum usually ripen late in the fall and to find good specimens at this time of the year is not an easy task.
 Levi Reed has brought to the cham Der of commerce some choice peaches of the Alberta variety from the Stan lev Howard orchard, and Joe Hallas, south of Phoenix has exhibited some fine sheaves of early Bart and Aus tralian red wheat, also some fancy stalks of milo and karin.
