British Army Boot.

The British army boot is made from
very stout chrome-tanned leather. II
is interesting to note that what is
called the ''front" OF the boot is un
like the average civilian boot, cut oil
in one piece, right from the toe to the
heel, and scanned up at the back. Tho
toe contains, among other things, a
plate Of hard iron, which Is nailed on
underneath. On the whole, the British

sizes being seven and eight. Compare
Mr.. Atkins foot with that of his Rus
sian brother. Here we have an aver
age of nine and ten. The upper por
ton of the Cossack boot reaches tc
within an inch or two Of the knee
and has a buckle at the top. Its con-
struction is very similar to the British
boot, the essential difference being the
boot is not stitched round the "welts'
as is the British.

caIorv Is Measure Of Heat.

Calory is a word so much used by
physicians and writer's upon diet that
there is no excuse Tor anyone not un.
derstanding what Ii means. The defini.
ton of the word calory in the
dictionary is: "one or two recog
nized units of heat, Of which the great.
er calory or 'kilogram calory' is the
amount of heat necessary TO raise on
kilogram of water degree c.; the
lesser calory' or small calory' beins
the amount of heat necessary to raise
one gram of water ] degree c.
Calory. then, is a measure Of heat
The human body may be likened to q
furnace, and the food that goes into il
to the fuel, for this, in fact, is exactly
what it is, as it supplies the body
with what enables il to keep UP its
heat. SO the heat-giving qualities Of
our food are measured in calories.

poino Without copper.

In Germany, where almost all the
copper is needed by the army, some IN
genious substitutes have been found
for it in the peaceful arts. In house
wiring, for instance, iron wire has
taken the place Of copper. Iron can
not, however, be used as conductor
Of electricity for long distances, nor
where exposed to the air, because II
would cost too much and because II
rusts too quickly. Nor can it be used
for telephone wires.

scarcely any copper, Siemens steel TAX

GERMAN WAR ON SEA
DESCRIBED BY MAYO
Atlantic Fleet Commander Relate.
Conditions to Secretary Daniels.

Admiral Mayo continued his story
to Secretary of the Navy Daniels, Ad-
miral Benson. chief of operations. and
the Navy General Board, at a confer
ence at Mr.. Daniels home last night.
During the day the commander of
the Atlantic Fleer, who has Just re-
turned from tour of investigation in
British and Francn waters, conferred
with high departmental officials.
Secretary Daniels yesterday made no
effort to conceal his astonishment at
some Of the things he has been told
by Admiral Mayo, but cautioned
against 'ill-timcd comment on
Mayo's mission.
There cam be no intelligent COM
ment," he said. "as none of the facts
are known. Only surmise, specula-
ton and half truths could leak out
and they would misrepresent the
real situation"
The Secretary indicated that he
would make a statement on some of
the facts he had received from .Ad-
miral Mayo. but that this would
not be possible until the entire story
had been told.
The Secretary made no effort to
conceal the Importance of the con-
ferences now going on.
THE gravest problems vet con-
sidsred confront the navy" he said.
They require very. serious discus
sion"

there was any allied objection to

snapped this quick and decisive
answer:

King last night, "is to declare war

1t is believed that the sentiments

deal Of sympathy from the Presi-
dent.
Lacking any specific provocation

formally declare a state of war.

MEXICAN MUNITIONS
MUST Be LICENSED
New War Trade Board to Prevent
Bandits Buying Cartridges.

Every cartridge that goes into Mex
leo must be licensed by the new
War Trade Board. The announcement
of the Tightening of the embargo reg
ulat:ons on tpe southern border was
the first order issued by the newly
constituted board. No explanation OF
the new order was made other than
to say that 1t was for the protec-
ton of the supplies of munitions In
the United States.
The order is connected, however,
with the reports OF recent raids and
fears of raids by Mexican bandits.
1t is not believed here that the order
is aimed at the Mexican government,
as It can undoubtedly secure such mill
itary supplies here as it actually
needs
The regulations heretofore in force
have provided that exports of a value
less than 800 could be sent over the
border on the permission of the local
custom house.
The requirement OF a license from
Washington for all these supplies will
1t is believed. cut Off such supplies
as bandit bands might be able to buy
in border towns and ship over for
their illegal uses.

AMERICA TO Be
REPRESENTED At
WAR SESSIONS
Pershing, Sims and Sharp
Reported as Picked for
Allies Conference.

The United States will be repre-
sentcd at the forthcoming allied con-
ference in Paris, It was suardedly tn
timated In Official circles yesterday.
Gen. Pershing. Vice Admiral Sims
and Ambassador william Graves
Sharp were said TO be the most like
ly American delegates.
There was no confirmation of a re-
port that Col. E. NJ. House, 5corfden-
tial advisor OF the President. would
go to Europe for the conference.
Secretary OF State Lansing would
not even admit that America would
be represented. The matter Is un-
der consideration He said.
Secretary of War Baker refused TO
discuss personalities when the ques-
tion of who would represent that
branch OF the service came up, but
1t was generally believed around the
Department that Gen. Pershins
would be the man.
Outline of Plans.
The following outline of Amer
ica's participation was drawn by an
Official acquainted with the situation:
America will participate in only a
limited way. At certain sessions of
the conference she will not be rep
resented at all. For instance. in
discussions of military schemes d.
rected against Austria, Bulgaria or
Turkey. Americas representatives
could not take part, as this country
Is not at war with Germany's allies.
Considerable part will be taken
by American delegates in discus
sions of military and naval plans
in the West. The representative of
the American navy will be guided
both by the knowledge he has ac-
cumulsted of European conditions
while abroad and by orders from
the department here based upon in
formation brought back by Admiral
Mayo.
Will Join Economic Debates.
In the trade and economic discus
s!ons the United States will have a
commanding part. This nation is the
market place of the world. and Is in
legally entrenehed position where she
can do anything she pleases with her
food produce.
AZ far as the allies are concerned
their problems in relation to depen-
denee upon. American supply will be
dealt with in Washington rather
than by any resolutions of the Paris
conference. but treatment of neutrals
probably will form an important
chapter of the sessions and this ma
ton naturally would be guided to a
large extent by the decisions OF the
conference:
Important plans for the spring Of
fensive and participation therein OF
American troops will be under dis
cussion, 1t il believed here.
