Had a Hard Bunk.

Some of the returning New York
young men who have become officers
at Plattsburg tell amusing tales Of
life in barracks, as lived by citizens
unused to army conditions. One Of
them concerns an inspection of quar-
tiers made by Capt. Philip Mathews,
L. S. A., during which a sleepy can
didate made an amusing error at the
wrong time. AT the end of the bar
rack hunks upper and lower, were
small cards upon which appeared the
name of the occupant, the number Of
his rifle and the number of his bay
onet. They We're known as bunk
cards. incidentally the hunks con
tanned tough mattresses and no
springs. Coming along on an early
morning inspection, Captain Mathews

which the registration card had dis

death blow. The details cannot be

cleared for colossal amount of work

Will be taken over during the bad
weather by Americans, not only in
the United States, but also in France.
And this quite aside from the training
Of the fighting men and the education
of the officers In the latest phases of
warfare.
The result of all this activity will
be that next spring the entente allies
will possess supereminent war ma
chine, gunned, manned and equipped
in an unprecedentedly complete and
magnificent manner. 1t was correct to
say last winter that in 1917 the entente
allies would develop a striking force
which could not be exceeded in 1918
If the war continued But at that
time the intervention of the United
States was only dim possibility; the
revolution in Russia and the collapse
of her army were foreseen by nobody.
Tough Problem for Enemy.
AS the situation stands at present,
with the United States adding her
mighty power to the common lot, and
with still unextinguished hope that
the Muscovites may be brought back
to their old aggressive fighting, men
belonging to the inner circles of Eur
rope affirm their belief that the entente
allies will be able to confront linden
burg with far harsher problem in
1918 than they could have hoped to
put up to him in 1917
Next spring the British army will
still be at top strength, for in the past
summer Haig has put forth nothing
like his maximum effort, and in con-
sequence has suffered losses far below
the figures anticipated at the British
war office. When it was seen that the
Russian army must drop out of all
offensive plans this summer and that
Germany would be able to develop an
unexpected strength upon the western
front, the Franco-British policy natur
ally became more conservative. The
building up of the American armies
has confirmed the wisdom of this
course, which looks to the accumula-
ton of an irresistible power before the
last continuous, annihiating blows are
delivered upon all possible fronts.

In these circumstances big sweep

secondly, to weaken him irreparably
for the final knockout blow In 1918.
The part the American contingents
will play in the winters activity is
the closest of all military secrets Mt
this time. There is nothing that Hin

as just what Pershings plans are, and
there is nothing that Pershing is more
bent upon doing than keeping the
slightest hint from Hindenburg.

give this assurance, that prudence is
his motto, that ne will never consent
to play to the gallery as even the best

his time and only strikes when he is
able to strike in real earnest. Perish

respect, and Europe has had enough
war experience to know that these
are the men who get the real results
at the least possible cost in lives, and
that though they have little to show on
the war map, they are steadily, per-
sistently, relentlessly wearing down
the toughest foe that ever took the
field.

giving any information to the enemy is

TURKEYS BETTER NEXT
MONTH THAN THIS

This years turkey crop has been so
slow in maturing that the u, s., food
administration is urging farmers to
withhold the birds from market until
fully fleshed. w. F. Priebe, poultry
expert of the food administration staff,
states that the. average young turkey
will weigh from 10 to Is per cent more
On Dec. Is than on Nov. Is of this year
Turkeys are unlike other poultry"
Mr.. Priebe explains. Chickens can
be fattened at any time, but a turkey
does not take on much flesh until it
has nearly reached maturity. Then it
gains In weight rapidly"
Feed is now abundant in most of
the turkey raising areas, and to place
immature birds on the market means
the loss of a large, potential supply of
turkey meat at a time when it is
needed to substitute for the beef, pork
and mutton that we must export to
feed our army and our allies. The
rapid gain in weight which turkeys
make after reaching maturity will
more than compensate growers for
holding them the additional 80 days.
