ICE CREAM SOFAS
FOR BOYS IN FRANCE
I. M. c. A. Orders Fruit FIayorS
for One Million Summer
Drinks.
One million ice cream sodas.


A-ahi
Sufficient to cool the threats of a
flock of siraffes-ice cold, fizzy, flavor
ed with "strobry," "razbry," cherry"
peach or pineapple
Um-m!
They may not seem so imposing here,
with soda fountains on every impOr-
tant business corner, but-oh, boy !
won't they be sample packages Of
heaven to the American boys over in
the war zone? Over there where, If
reports be true, drug stores, masquer-
aiding as chemists shops, try to get by
with nothing but drugs.
Frances pet drinks, champagne and
red wine. are going to turn an absinthe
green with jealousy this summer when
the great American drink begins fixing
along the battle front and going over
the top of the glasses. And the as
surance of at least q million fruit-fia-
vored drinks as starter is found in
the cabled order just received by C. Y.
Hubbard, general secretary of the over
seas department of the Y. NJ. G. 4.
war work council, from the organiza-
TONS official in France. The mes
sage follows:
"Send quickly concentrated fruit
sirups for one million summer drinks"
And the Y. N. c. A. war work coun-
ell has a way Of sending quickly any
thing ordered sent quickly. So it is
a sure thing that when the heat begins
to give the American soldier boys 9n
awful thirst, they will turn gratefully
from the trenches to the "Y" hutS
where they received hot chocolate last
winter, and there they will clamor for
d "strobry," or ''razbry sody."
Possibly to assure plenty of foam,
the same cablegram ordered the war
work council to send one ton of shaving
soap, while the other creature COM
forts for soldiers, among the items re-
Iuired. were four American pool ia
bles, ten tons chocolate bars, ten tons
granulated sugar, ten tons flour, ten
tons assorted cigarettes and five tons
smoking tobacco.

FOREIGN TROOPS
TO BE TRAINED
HERE FOR WAR
Amendment to Army Appro-
priation Bill Provides For
Training and Equipment

Washington, June 22.-Authority
to train in this country and to fur
nlsh all necessary equipment to the
troops of any other nation engaged
IN the war on Germany and Austria
would be given the War Department
under an amendemtn added to the
$4,000, 100000 Army appropriation
bill yesterday by the Senate Military
Committee.
AS originally proposed by Secre-
tary Baker, the amendment provided
only for the training and eQuipping
or troops from the Latin American
'Republics, but the committee made
its application general so that war
equipment and materials could be
furnished any nations fighting
against the Teutonic powers and also
in order that it might not be deemed
an expressed invitation to the Latin
American governments.
In discussing the amendment
secretary Baker said emphatically
that no definite plan looking to train
ing foreign troops in America had
been taken up and that no particular
country was had in mind when the
amendment was sent to Congress.
The department, he reiterated, sim
ply desired to be in a position to act
should the occasion arise.
The eight Central and South
American nations which already
have broken relations with Germany
possess a potential reservoir of not
less than 2,750,000 men, according
to computations made here. This
fgure includes only the male popu-
lation between 20 and 80 years and
would be materially increased If the
usual military limits" of from IS to
45 were considered.
In the opinion here Brazil. the
largest of these nations, probably
could raise an army of 1000, 900
men if aided by the United States in
financing and equipping them. The
other seven nations, Bolivia, Guate-
mala. Ecuador, Uruguay, Nicarau-
qua, Honduras and Costa Rica, could
furnish more than 100000 addi-
tional men.

talent in the city has been heard in
connection with the special services
in Messiah Lutheran Church. Two
of the foremost organists, Frank A.
McCarrell and Albert C. Kuschwa.
were heard in recitals on the fine
three manual electric organ, both
giving compositions of the best
writer's. The organ builders were es-
pecially we'll pleased with the per-
formance of their handiwork, there
being not a single hitch in the me-
chanical operations. Mrs. Emma
Hoffman. the church organist, was
heard with pleasing satisfaction in
the solo and choir Accomplishments.

on the musical programs, the re-
sources of other choirs having been

RUSS READY TO

WARNS LEADER
Killing of Guards at Taganrog
Pointed to as Proof
of Enmity ~

Amsterdam, June 22.-The Rhein-
ische Westfaelische Zeitung, of
Essen, says that Herr Hofer. inde-
pendent Socialist, in the Prussian
lower house Thursday, declared:
'Ten thousand red guards were
mercilessly moved down at Tagan-
rog by German troops, and then you
say we are at peace with Russia! !
am persuaded that Russia will spring
at our throats when the time comes,
1t is base to kill an enemy after he
is blinded by poison gas. The people
must overthrow a government which
is incapable of attaining a speedy
peace by understanding"
President Lohmann reprimanded
Deputy Hofer for his remarks.
