barred Suitcases and handbags will be

The war department prefers that each
man bring only necessary toilet articles
and one change of linen and undercloth-
ing, done up in a neat small bundle.
This is because strict attention will be
given the military appearance of the
boys from the moment they report at,
headquarters of their local board.
The department wishes it understood,
however, that it is as necessary that the
boys bring the articles mentioned as il
S that they bring nothing more.
Members of each mans local board will
inspect his kit just before he entrains,
'ejecting everything that has no place

water, water glass, etc. The methods
lime water or water glass.
For preservation in lime water, slack
three pounds of lump lime in little ~
ter and add three gallons of pure water.
Stir occasionally for day, let settle ssd
then pour off the clear liquid. Washed
eggs will not keep.
Water glass is soluble sodium silicate
and should be obtained as pure as pos
sible. This should be used with pure
cold boiled water in the proportion of
one part water glass to nine parts of
water. Should eggs tend to float and it
is known that they are absolutely fresh,
add little cold boiled water to the solu-
tion. Water glass may be purchased at
drug stores and is preferable to lime wa
ter. Three gallons of either will preserve
about 20 dozen eggs. A gallon of the
pure water glass diluted as above viii
preserve about 90 dozen.
Any glass, wooden or earthenware re-
ceptacle may be used, but not metal.
Pack eggs small end down and pour liq-
lid over them and keep two inches of
above eggs at all times.
Cover receptacle with waxed paper or
oaraffine cloth. Wash eggs in cold water
after taking them out for use.

lals for complete instructions on food

TANKS OUTM4TCH
GERMAN FORTS
Iron Monsters Trap and Terrorize leu
tons, Who Surrender to British
in Groups.

London. Aug 22.-Perry Robinson,
telegraphing the good work of the tanks
now that the ground is drying-in the
British advance north of st. Julien, in
which the monsters took strong points,
often concrete redoubts and fortresses
with walls eight feet thick and upward,
says:
Yesterdays operation was practically
a trial of strength between our movable
llandships and the stationary concrete
forts of the enemy. The latter were
lhopelessly outmatched. The attack was
largely surprise. Before the Germans
realized it each fort had tank or two
squatting on its doorstep In several
cases the mere sight of the monsters was
enough. The garrisons surrendered.
"ln some instances they tried to get
out the back door of the fort and run
And it was then that our machine gun
ners had their chance. But invariably
this was when the tank called at the
| front door. The presence of another
tank at the rear was sufficient cause for
surrender without demand
Zone tank got into trouble 200 yards
short of its objective, so it transformed
itself into stationary fort and opened
fire with all its guns. The Germans came |
pouring out and tried to run, but our in |
fantry coming up dealt with them. Then |
the crew of the tank got out with their |
machine guns and Jared forth on new
conquests.
another tank arrived behind "a fort
and paved at the back door Two shots
were enough. The garrison came stream
ing out, hands up.
1.-TWO other iron beasties' went to in
Dictated strong positions, but found the
forts deserted. Our men saw Germans
running in the far distance from posi-
tions beyond our objective, fleeing when
no man pursued.
''our infantry had an easy job. Their
chief business was to take over patches
of prisoners surrendering to the tanks
In several forts the tank crews found
the Germans about to begin breakfast.
Our men sat down and ate the meals
gratefully.
This affair of yesterday was the first
in which tanks Immediately played the
chief part in the victory, the infantry
taking an altogether secondary part. AT
a triiing expense they won ground which
might have been costly to take by direct
infantry assault"

RUSSIA COLD TO PEACE OFFER

Probable Refusal of Pope's Plan.

Washington, Aug. 81 That Russia
will reject the peace offer of Pope Ben
edict was forecasted yesterday in a
statement by Boris Bakhmeteff, the Rus
sian ambassador, which is supposed to
have been issued by direction of the
provisional government at Petrogrsd, al
though there is no official acknowledge
ment to that effect, the statement of
the ambassador follows:
"The answer 20 the Popes peace pro-
possls has not yet been formulated by
the Russian government, but there is a
feeling in Russia that these PROPOSALS
have been made with some inspiration
from the central powers. il is oonsid-
cred in Russia that the very bases Of

with the democratic aims Of the Russian
people in this war and are not acceptable
