NOVEL CAMP COOK
wagon A SUCCESS
Big Motor Truck Turns Out Food
at Amazing Rate.

One OF the very latest improvements
in the form Of a CommOdious camp
cook-wagon. equipped with every mod
ern contrivlnce for the suppression
OF the proverbial soldier appetite, and
mounted on big Riker motor truck,
was installed at the Fort Myer train
ing camp yesterday. and is said to
be capable OF providing for the ac-
commOdation OF 3, COO meals at one fell
swOop' without batting an eye.
When the afternoon mess-call was
sounded by the buglers, not a laggard
or straggler was seen along the line,
and II the charge that was made by
the hungry followers Of the colors
boys will do when they buck up
against the Germans. it Is safe TO
assume that the Kaiser viii pull in
his horns without much further cere-
mony.
With only three helpers the camp
chef disposed OF the mess kits in sucn
remarkably short time that there
was a rcfrcS hing absence OF the usual
wailing and rnashing OF teeth, oCca-
stoned by long delays under the time
honorcd system of feeding the man
from the ranks. In nSequcnce of
this improved condition. it is thought
that If vote were taken for the
most popular man in the army. this
new-fanEled camp cooking Contri-
vance would win by such a huge ma
jority that no other candidate would
have the ghost of a show.

The Government Plans for
Roundup Proves
Successful.

The government has evolved a COM
plete plan for rounding up thousands S
Of men who have evaded military
service, and amazing success already
is attending their efforts. Hundreds
of arrests have been made, and the
scheme has now progressed to a point
where 1t is dragging out of their hid =
ing places scores Of evaders every
day.
The War Department and the De-
partment Of Justice are cooperating
in the work, and the local police au-
thorities are assisting. The work has
been divided into two classes. The
Department OF Justice has been as
signed the task of arresting the men
who failed to register for military
service; the War Department that of
rounding up the men who registered
and accepted, and then failed to re-
port for entrainmcnt, according to the
orders of the local boards. The War
Department also is attending TO those
who registered. but failed to respond
when ordered before local boards for
examination. The local police in ev-
ment, while scores of patriotic soci-
cites have Investigators aiding in the
work.
1t has been found that the number
who failed to register runs far into
the thousands. These persons when
apprehonded are subject to trial in
the civil courts. The men who failed
TO report after having been drafted,
however. are beyond civil authority
When taken they are hailed before
courts martial and tried under mill
tary law.
There have been several conferences
within the last few days between
Provost Marshal Gen. Enoch H.
Crowdcr and officials OF the Depart
ment Of Justice. 1t may be stated on
the highest authority that the gov
ernment is more than pleased with
the progress OF the work.
Gen. CroWder Yesterday declared
that every provision had been taken
to apprchend men who fail to answer
the call to the colors or who attempt
to escape from the cantonments after
mobilization.
