SOLDIER BOY WRITES OF
CAMP MILLS, NEW YORK
Interesting Letter From Washington
Boy About Eastern Camp

Camp Mills, New York, Nov. Is
Camp Mills is on Long Island,
which means cold winds and fog.
From the looks of things just now
we are about due for a snow storm.
However, we are comfortable-have
three blankets, slicker, overcoat
pup tent, straw tick, and camp cot.
After you half freeze for a couple of
nights you find a way to make a
good bed.
The battery is divided up into
horsemen, drivers, gunners and Bat
terry Commanders detail. As l know
nothing about horses, l got on the
B. C. detail. On that you have to
know how to figure range, sight
and DETECTION, to send and read wig
wag semephore, use a buzzer and
know the Morris code. Draw maps,
and B. C. place sketches. And any
thing else necessary to getting the
dope on the enemy.
The camp is near Hampstead, a
little burg made up of Jews and
grafters. If there is anything that
they have not thought of to get our
kale, l don't know what it is. Speak
ing of things being cheaper in the
east, the answer is no, if anything
they are higher. These Jews are
getting rich.
l do not know the number of men
in this camp but there is a big num-
Der and they will buy most any
thing.
There is one thing l can say for
Hampstead though and that is they
have a fine Red Cross. The Red
Cross have a house rented here
where a soldier can go and read or
write. Writing material is free and
they have a piano and music. But
the best of it all is the dining room.
Meals are served from 11:30 a. m.
until 8 p. M, real home cooking at
d
Ladies of the Red Cross take turns
at staying at the Club and doing the
cooking. Between and it is
almost impossible to get into the
dining room. The ladies are always
smiling and cheerful and try to make
it just as homelike for us as pos
sible. You can hear nothing but
praise for the Red Cross.
The Y. NJ. C. A. is doing a big
and good work for the boys also. In
this camp l think there are six
tents. They have books and papers
to read and writing materials, all
free for the soldiers. Two nights
week there are services and the
other nights they have lectures or
music. Last night four ladies from
New York gave a musical program
and tonight George K. Cherrie of
the American Museum of Natural
History of New York will lecture on
across the Andes" There is some
thing every night and all a soldier
has to do is to go in and sit down.
No admission or collection.
They are doing all they can to
make camp life cheerful.
The bugler is blowing "come and
get'er" so must say so long for this
time.
A Soldier
The following letter is from a
former Waitsburg boy and was
written to the Times of that city.
The Leavenworth echo. [volume] (Leavenworth, Wash.) 1904-current, 1917-12-07

Seattle proposes to try to have the
city council impeach Mayor Gill.
Every newspaper in the city is IN
favor of it and a dozen civic bodies
are working with the masses to
bring about his removal from office.
1t is understood that number of
the city councilmen favor ellis i'm
peachment regardless of whether
the necessary legal evidence is forth
coming. They point out that Gill is
giving the city a very bad admins
tration and that it will continue bad
so long as he is Mayor. Gill en-
tered into an agreement during the
past week to remove the present
Chief of Police and permit the gov
eminent to name his successor, but
he changed his mind after some re-
Election and repudiated the agree
ment. 1t is quite evident that the
government has no intention of per
hitting its soldiers at Camp Lewis
to visit Seattle so long as moral con-
ditions in the city remain as bad as
they are. Gill will not correct
them, and as a result Seattle is be-
ginning to suffer financially. Hun
dreds of soldiers who have been com
ing to the city for the weekend and
spending their money are now re-
fused permission to visit the city.
When you hit Seattle's pocketbook
its citizens sit up and take notice,
consequently, almost everybody is in
favor of ellis impeachment. Or

EVERY CHINAMAN EATS BEANS
First Qualification Of Housewife Is
Ability to Prepare Certain Foods
-. From the Legumes.

On. of the first qualifications of
useful Chinese matron throughout
the northern provinces, and in many
Of the southern, is her ability to con-
coct from beans, green, black and
yellow, those staple factors in Chi
nese diet known as 'teu flu" and
'hang fen" says East and West. The
bean seldom appears in its pristine
entireness upon a Chinese table; and
it is not considered fit to eat in many
parts of the country until it has
been reduced to its essences. and put
up in the form Of bean curd or the
bean gelatin which one sees for sale
in every roadside food shop, gather
ing dust and microbes on its translu-
cent surface.
The art of producing these nour-
ishing foods, which are the meat OF
the poor and the basis Of many
patrician delicacies, is to the rural
Chinese woman what butter, cheese
and jam making are to the occiden-
tai housewife. In the large cities
bean manipulation of this sort is a
craft and a commerce, just as jam
and butter making are in the lrage
cities of the West, but it can scarce
ly be classed as an industry, except
perhaps as an incipient industry.
The bean must be crushed, soaked,
boiled, strained and so on before
the essences appear.

SAN JUAN INTERESTING CITY
Tropical Town With Its Laughing, Col
orfui Crowds In Its Narrow streetA
Delights Visitors.

In these years of no European
travel a good many holidayina
Americans have gone to San JUN
because they could not 90 "abTvad."
They found a most interesting old
city, a delightful climate, fine mo-
toring country, but nothing in the
way Of tourist accommodations.
There are hotels in San Juan, Of
course, but the degree in which they
are accustomed to and prepared for
the American tourist may be judged
by the fact that SO day is about the
highest tariff you may pay.
San Juan is a low-roofed, pink
and white tropical town, with mar
row, crowded streets and a little
plaza famous for its trees and the ex-
cellent music played there by the
municipal band on Saturday nights.
On these nights and on all after
Moons many people go to stroll in the
streets of San Juan and many 9TH
ers sit in the little open cafes and
sip drinks and watch the crowds
pass. 1t is pleasure to walk in this
laughing, colorful
crowd. Although you may not see a
face you know, there is a feeling of
friendliness and good fellowship
about the place. 1t contrasts very
favorably with the mad, clamorous
rush of Broadway, which causes the
lone stranger to feel more lonesome
still and put his bank roll in another
pocket. You feel here the charm
that is everywhere in the tropics and j
which has permanently won to them
many a northerner-the charm of
IN easy, natural, friendly existence
based upon the consciousness of the
rich bounty of tropical nature and
The soothing uniformity of tropical
climate.

AMID TORRENT OF HERoIsM
Great European War Has Been DIFF.
ferent in This Respect From Other
Conflicts Of the Past.

We have no hero, lin the great
European war;, but a superabun.
dance of heroes, observes Sidney
Low, in Fortnightly Review. We
live, as H. G. Wells says, amid a tor
rent of heroism. But it is the hero
ism of the common unregarded hui
man being, the man who was Just
food for powder or food for pixies in
the olden wars. 1t may be that in
the multitudes who dimly trailed
through the battles and the marches
and the mud and blood of the cam
paigns Of the past there were soldiers
as brave, as loyal, as generous as
those who have been sent forth these
three years past from the cottages
and mean streets Of Europe. 1t may
be SO, for they do not figure in the
annals.
The historic muse, gathering her
skirts about her as she trips daintily
over their plebeian bodies, treats
them only as an entry in her cata-
logue. So many thousands of their
corpses, she notes coldly, left to fes-
ter on the field; SO many dragged off
to prison or to slavery; so many, it
may be, butchered in the market
square or built up alive into the
walls of the fortress.

POSTAGE STAMP TIPS SCALES
Grand Balance in Bank Of England
Weighs ThIs.Iedown or 4o0-Pound
Gold Bar With Equal Ease.

In the bullion room Of the Bank
of England stands the grand ball
ance. tits a machine, says con-
tributor to Parsons Weekly, that
was constructed primarily for testing
Light gold coins.
Standing approximately seven
feet high and weighing nearly two
tons, this wonderful piece of mechan-
ism can weigh a piece Of thistledown
or a 40O-pound gold bar with equal
accuracy.
Before being used it always has to
be carefully busted; for otherwise
the dust that has settled upon it even
in the course Of a few minutes, al
though invisible to the naked eye,
would cause it to register inaccurate
ly. So responsive is the machinery
that a postage stamp placed on one
of two weighing portions moves the
index six inches.
After the new English currency
notes were issued the grand balance
was kept busy virtually day and
night weighing the gold coinage that
was called in and replaced by notes.
1t has now been found that the total
loss of gold owing to the abrasion of
the coins as they passed from hand
to hand, in the course Of circulation,
amounts to nearly $5,0O0,000.
That, however, is not quite so
alarming as it sounds, for the loss is
spread over a period of rs years
from March, 1892, that is to say, up
to the present time. Twenty-Five
years is reckoned to be the legal
"life" of sovereign at full face
weight.
