POINTS OUT ESSENTIALS
FOR U. S. ARMY IN FRANCE
Gen. Pershing Says Men Drafted
Should Be in Good Physical Con-
dition and Disciplined.

PARIS. August S.-Maj. Gen. Perish
ing. commander of the American expe-
d1tion in France. told the Associated
| Press it was highly essential that the
men in Americas conscript army should
be in excellent physical condition, well
action. He added that the Army or
ganization must be built from the bot
| tom up. each man and officer devoting
all his energies to the work. The gem
eral said:
Our men must be in good physical
condition. keeping their morals clean,
and thereby capable of meeting the try
ing conditions of modern warfare. The
men must learn to obey orders prompt
ly. implicitly and willingly, but not
necessarily automatically
Il object to the word Automatic be-
cause we do not want a machine-made
organization but an army of thinking
men--men with Individuality men fully
capable and ready to assume command
of units should their officers be killed
or incapacitated, as sometimes happens
in trench warfare.
that war is not sport or play, but seri-
Gus work. demanding the utmost en-
ergy and attention to insure success"
Gen. Pershing likened Army organi-
cation to foot ball team. in which
each man is trained to physical perfec-
ton under strict discipline. but is capa-
Die OF brilliant individual action in a
crisis. He added: I'VE want our men
trained the same way"
The general was optimistic and con-
hdent that Americas Army would give
an excellent account of itself and would
come up to the expectations of the other
entente allies. despite the tremendous
amount of work necessary before active
American participation in trench war
fare was possible.

FIERCE BATTLE IN AFRICA.
British Forces Begin Forward Move
ment in Lindi Area. on Indian Ocean

LONDON, August s.-The beginning
OF a forward movement in the Lindi
area, on the Indian ocean in southeast
ern German East Africa, is described in
an official statement issued last night
The offensive began on August Q,
when the Germans were driven from
hubia stream, ten miles southwest Of
Lindi. On August the enemy's main
positions were assaulted in a frontal
attack by African troops, who made
ment, intended to envelop the Germans
right flank, encountered strongly post
ed defenses, concealed in dense bush
Severe fighting ensued, the enemy Wig
orously counter attacking, and the
British. Indian and African forces
fighting with great gallantry.
The action was indecisive, the losses
on both sides being considerable. The
British forces are intrenched on the
ground gained. the statement says, and
the advance will be resumed soon.

The MaIigned Pancake.

The Princess Mathilde, called "the queen
of the last Paris salon." and the daughter
|, of Jerome Bonaparte, was brought up
to the domestic accomplishments. Her
mother, who had been a protege Of Cath
crime of Russia, used to encourage her
daughter IN her effort at cooking with the
reminder that the great Catherine had
liked to make chocolate or coffee. boil
eggs or cook pancakes at the Hermitage
wherein a small kitchen was fitted up for
her use.
Pancakes have been a bit maIgned Of
late. We have learned to consider them
America. Perhaps as they are usually
made and served for breakfast they are
decidedly unwholesome. But they have
place in our diet without doubt. and II
they are thoroughly but quickly cooked
there is no reason why they may not oc-
casionally be eaten for dessert without
any bad results.
Flannel cakes are especially interesting
just now because they may be made with
part cornmeal-and anything that utilizes
cornneal may be. considered as patri-
otto economy. To make them. add three
cornmeal-to three cups Of milk and
scald in a double boiler. Add four table,
spoonfuls of butter or other shortening
Of sugar. one teaspoon Of salt. one-haH a
yeast cake dissolved in quarter Of a
cup of lukewarm water Let rise for six
or seven hours and then cook on a hot
griddle.
Rice griddle cakes are another econ
omy, so far as the amount Of white flour
used in them is concerned. To make Them
pour a cup Of scalded milk over a cup Of
cooked rice and let 1t stand for several
hours Then add a cup and a half Of
-four mixed with two teaspoons Of baking
powder. one tablespoon of sugar and one
teaspoon of salt. Next add a cup Of cold
wcll-heaten
a tablespoon of melted butter. Beat all
together thoroughly and cook on hot
griddle. This is a recipe full Of nourish-
ing ingredients.

GERMANS SLAUGHTERING
THEIR STOCKS OF CATTLE

COPENHAGEN. August s.-A short
age in fodder has compelled the Ger
mans to undertake a sweeping slaugh-
ter of home stocks of cattle, German
buyers in Denmark. who last week cut
prices Is per cent, are. according to a
dispatch from the interior, discontinue
ing purchases altogether until the sur
plus at home is utilized.
This has brought about another re-
duction in the price of meat in Den
mark, and 1t is said that further cuts
will follow. A decreased price for meat
also will be helped by the action of
the Danish meat bureau. which, find
ing a number of butchers charging
prices involving excessive profit. has
withdrawn from the offenders the
bounty derived from the fund accumu-
lated from the export tax on meat and
applied to reducing the price to Dan
ish consumers.

The Need of a Brim.

needs brim to shade her eyes if she

tic axiom that is broken by thousands
of women over fifty years old. and yet,
it is safe statement by which to stand.

Danger in High Crowns.

It is far better for woman to be
compromising than defiant in fashions:
She can dicker with high crown ana
come out the victor. if she knows how
to use the brim as an admirable tool
toward success.
No one denies that pot hat such
as the English have held in reverence
for their Elton boys is not the thing for
the average American woman Neither
is the more daring and dashing Beau
Brummel hat with its high crown.
which an actress and her lmItators
wore in such an admirable manner.
= The straight. high turban without
brim is another dangerous type OF hat
for the American face. unless the
crown is oblong and the trimming
reaches well out at the back and front
The Russian and French grenadier hats
give a certain insolent charm to the
young girl who can carry them off. but
no other type of woman should attempt
to wear this kind of headgear
: The cables from France say that the
brim will be minor factor in fash
ions after the autumn begins. but any
one who knows the Frenchwomen and
also has an excellent birds-eye view
of the women on the American conti-
nent can. combat that statement with
prophecy founded on experience.
