four men may enter during the middle

every thing considered necessary to
characterize them as fitted for the
work. They begin work by peeling
potatoes or cleaning vegetables. They
finish by cooking the tenderest beef

morsel, going back to the camp with

wealth is almost the sole passport to

GOVERNMENT MAY TAKE
SKINNER OFF BAY0NETS

Soon the romancer no longer will
be able to write about the column Of
American troops that marched into
battle with bayonets glistening In the
sun. For the United States govern
ment has about decided to take all
of the glisten out Of bayonet and
have it made of blue steel. It is
argued that Just as a brilliant uni
form attracts attention even at q dis
lance, so the luster of polished
bayonet may be seen far away.
If this step is taken it will be only
one more blow at the display Of war,
which has become grim business and
not an affair of dash and romance.
Every army in the field has discarded
by degrees everything that would
tend to make the presence OF troops
known to the enemy.
