BY WALLACE IRWIN.

A few weeks ago the quartermaster

complicated task OF supplying every
thing from shoes to sugar to a rap
Idly forming army Of over a million
men, telegraphed an appeal to 50 lead
Ing hotel proprietors throughout the
country asking the loan Of 3,S40 chefs
and expert cooks to teach the science
Of gastronomics to the Kitchens Of our
10 new cantonments.
Now, the browued-in-the-oven old
mess sergeants Of our regular army
cooking schools--of which four have
fourished for many years-are willing
and anxious to sit at the feet Of the
capable wizards who have fed Fifth

great is the faith Of the mess sergeant

of them leave without a great respect

WINTER HOUSE FOR TURKEYS
Shed With Curtain Front for Use ir
Severe Weather 10 Sufficient
Avoid Warm Building.

Although turkeys do not need q
good house for winter, they should
have shed Of some kind. Simply q
shed with curtain front, to be let
down In severe weather. and a roost
well up toward the top is all that is
needed. In such a place they would
be comfortable In most any weather
and will have conditions nearly like
outdoors. Tightly built, warm houses
are not necessary or advisable.

Credit to Old Sergeant
In fact, a large majority OF the good
and fine points In Uncle Sans daily
menu for his Sammles Is due to an old
commissary sergeant Of Fort Riley.
His name was Dunno. and he was one
of those "born TO the griddle," who
has the same advantage over the ordi-
nary aspirant to kitchen honors that
Kubelik had from birth over the little
girl next door.
He was not man ~ education In
the ordinary acceptance Of the word,
but he was first-class army cook.
On scraps OF wrapping paper or old
bills he kept copy Of every recipe he
had ever tried. These were edited by
Colonel Holbrook. then In command ut
Fort Riley, and published In a little
book called Methods Of Handling
Army Rations," which has developed
into the Manual for Army Cooks" the
textbook In the army schools for cooks
and bakers started In 1900 by Com.

senate was expected by time both
houses convene today at noon. Pres
ident was expected to sign the meas
ure by this afternoon. Senate mill
tarv committee was to report today
the administration bill for volunteers
to fill present open gaps in regular
army and national guard, this to be
followed by selectiVe draft.
House opposition to selective draft
is believed to have been considerably
chilled by word from Pres. Wilson
and Sec'y Baker that administration
will not hearken to any general vol
unteer plan, but must have selectiVe
cOnscription-and that soon.
AS in times past White House pres
sure now promises to crumple con-
gress opposition. Members who
heretofore have frankly declared
they feared to go back for votes" if
they favored consumption plan have
changed over night. Many of these
said they would support the presi-
dent regardless of political futures.
If such opposition still menaces
bill. administration will not hesitate
to take names and cases Of revolving
straight to the public.
That administration authorities
are tired of house delays is putting
it mildly. In fact, military men say
that the success Of America in the
war is daily jeopardized by such pro-
CrastinatiOn.
In answer 60 those favOring volUn-
teering, the administration has point
ed out that present bill provides for
upward of 500, 900 volunteers to bring
regular army and national guard to
complete strength.
Once army measure is disposed of,
government espionage and other
similar war measures will be taken
up.

officer of First Division at Charles

heavy firing was reported off Prov

That firing must have indicated
some kind of conflict was deduced
from statement of navy official that

salute, inasmuch as no salutes can
be fired during war time.
