PRESIDENT GIVES ORDERS
Pershing Confers With President and
Receives Full Details of Duty
In Eurone.

Washington.-Final plans for the
participation of American troops on
the French front were made at an ex'
tended conference between President
Wilson and Maj.-Gen. John j. Perish
ing, who will lead the first American
division overseas.
Gen. Pershing called at the White
House after having been busy all day
with war department officials, work
ing out details of the expedition. 1t
was the first time the general had
met President Wilson and, after the
conference, it was said it probably
would be the last before Gen. Perish
ing departs for France. President
Wilson set forth very plainly his views
concerning the part the United States
forces must play.
1t is reported on high authority that
before Gen. Pershing leaves for
France, or very soon after he arrives
there, he will receive the rank of
acknowledgement. This will require
the approval of congress, and it is
expected President Wilson will send
his name to the senate within few
days.

Soldiers Clad in Steel,

Getting it's inspiration from the val
liable service already performed by the
steel helmet, La Nature of Paris sug-
gests that the soldiers entire body
should be cased in armOr. 1t proposes,
says Popular Science Monthly, that
the sides of the head, neck and upper
part of the chest be covered with a
gorget, a kind of color, and the loins
with a kind of skirt, like the lower
part of habergean, both in chain
mail. A cuirass, or breastplate, of NOV
able plates of steel would protect the
chest and back, and hinged steel elbow
pieces and knee pieces would cover the
joints. A face mask and goggles would
complete the suit. The armOr would
be light enough to afford perfect free
dom of action.

one.sided Recognition.

They passed on the street without
Speaking-but their eyes held mutual
recognition and challenge. She was
accompanied by a female friend, and
he had a male companion. When they
had passed, the girl said:
THAT was poor Jack Jurgens. He
didn't speak, but you noticed his look,
didn't you? Poor boy-it hurts me to
think how he has never got over my
refusal to marry him. OF course, he
was oil broken up at the time, but |
thought he would soon get over it. He's
thinner, isn't he? l do hope that he
hasn't plunged into dissipation. He
couldn't trust himself to speak, could
he? Oh, dear!"
And the man was saying:
"Did you sec how that dame gave me

spoken to her, because / can't help
thinking I've met her somewhere-her
face is familiar, but l can't place her"

Sailed Fish Popular Food.

How to conserve the fish supply is
one of the subjects receiving careful
attention by the British board of trade.
in conjunction with the board of agri-
culture. One of the methods which
will probably be adopted is the drying
or sailing of q much larger proportion
Of the daily catch than at present, so
as to prevent waste by the fish getting
out of condition. Sailed haddOck are
already being placed on the market In
considerable quantities as an expert
ment. They sell at about II cents
pound retail, and are very paiatable.
One method of preparing is to soil the
fish, throw away the water, and boil
up again, but if it is washed to get rid
of practically all the salt the Paddock
should also be soaked in cold water for
"a hours before cooking.
