gatherings ever assembled in our
city. Attorney Roy T. Johnson, in
his usual efficient manner, introduced
the speaker.
Mr.. Undertakes story of his visit
to the war zone was frought with
pathos and was most interesting to the
audience assembled. Abou. the plat

lake had picked up on the battlefields
and among them was one of the first
twenty shells fired by the American
soldiers in the war. He stated that
the first shell fired was brought back
to the United States by his party and
presented to President Wilson. A
British rifle taken from the bot
tom of a trench dugout was another
relic Photographs also showed
scenes of the front. Maps were also
exhibited showing the location of the
war zone.
Mr.. Timberlake was somewhat hand
icapped in his speech here last Mon
day evening, owing to the fact that
he was suffering with bad cold and
his voice was in an impaired condi-
tion. However his talk was one of

Emergency Rations for Fighting Men

The equipment of no soldier is
complete without emergency food ra-
tions. United States troops are sup
piled with three different parched
maize-meal packets and three choco-
lates. The former is revival of the
maize-meal of the American Indians,
on which they could exist for days
while hunting or on the warpath.
The "chain-shot" ration furnished
Belgian, French and Teutonic SOL
diers is a winter food of compressed
meat. There are more than dozen
varieties of compressed teas used by
the Russian commissary. Compress
ed rice and macaroni is supplied ORR
entail forces. Oat-bread in sausage
form is used by some of the North
British troops.
A curious ration is the compressed
fig coffee of the Central Powers,
which may be either utilized for food
as it is or converted into a coffee-like
drink. Smoke-dried pears are used
in the same armies. The Swiss SOL
der receives an emergency ration OF
white chocolate, made entirely OF
cocoa-butter and sugar.
An Italian army chocolate is in
sausage-length form, while their
plum duff goes into beef membrane.
