Here ends the fifteenth and last
lesson in the course of French lessons
which Trench and Camp began in its
issue Of March Is. These lessons were
started with the idea and purpose of
helping American soldiers in train
ing over here to learn the rudiments
Of the language which L. spoken
lover There" II one American SOL
der has learned something of the
French language from these lessons,
then the publishing Of them has been
worth while
If you, Mr.. Soldier, have followed
and studied these lessons, and be-
come interested in the French Ian
guage, as you should for your coun-
try's sake, az we'll as for your own,
remember this: Fifteen lessons can
not teach you the French language.
but they can give you a good start
toward acquiring working vocab-
ulary." Also remember that the
way to learn French Is to speak 1t at
every possible opportunity.
A sergeant In the American Elk
pedftionary Forces in France mmde
this comment on the French Lam
guage: These people over here
know how to write their language,
but they don't know how to pro-
nounce it." Pronunciation Is the
thing. 1t is learned by practice only.
Practice, practice, practice, and then
practice some more.
Next week Trench and Camp will
publish an article telling the Amer
lean soldiers who have studied these
fifteen lessons how to make the best
use OF them.

GOODIES FOR SOLDIERS

Relatives of soldiers have been asked
not to send food to the boys in army
camps, because of the injury which of
ten is caused to the health of soldiers
from eating food which has become par
TALLY spoiled in transit. 1t also is
said, in explanation of the request, that
much food is wasted, because it abso-
lutely spoils in transit
Most of the food that is sent to the
soldier by relatives and friends at
home, is not of the nature of the sub
stantial food which the soldier receives
from the government, but, on the other
hand, runs toward cakes, candies, and
other varieties of rich foods 1t is no
more than natural that the soldier, when
he receives box of goodies from
home, will indulge therein until the en-
tire consignment of "mother's own
cooking is consumed, even though
lie must overeat i'll order to make away
with the generous quantities sent him.
In contrast with the plain but whole
some food which he receives in the
army, eating of the cakes and candies
probably results in Reorganization of
the digestive system, and thereby i'm
pairs his efficiency as soldier.
Overeating is a failing of the Ameri-
can people and the soldier is no OK
ception Provided with a scientific
diet, his rations are such as are calcu-
lated to keep him strong and health
lul and promote his efficiency as
man. But it would be a shame
to deny him a taste of "mother's
cooking" when the box of homemade
- goodies" arrives. In order to elm
mate all this discomfort the people at
home have been requested to allow the
war department to take care of the
soldiers feeding.

THOSE MYSTERIOUS FIRES.

Boise Stateman: Hardly day pas
SEES that the newspapers of the United
States do not contain one or more dis
patches telling of mysterious fire
which has done great damage. The
origin of the blaze is usually unknown
but is generally accompanied by AN e.,
posion, and it is surely more than q
coincidence that these fires occur AT
munition plants, wheat elevators, rail
road terminals, coal bunkers or at indus
trial plants concerned directly in war
work for the United States and her
allies
The German torch-hearer and bomb
thrower is still abroad in the land.
Our loosely enforced anti,alien enemy
law is not doing much to stop this cam
paign of terrorism and destruction.
Nearly every day these paid German
agents. who no doubt pretend to be
loyal American citizens, destroy war
materials and munitions worth more
money than 100 ordinary families
could subscribe for Liberty bonds.
More than that, they destroy Amer
lean lives, and they cripple our plants
and factories in a way that in the
aggregate must seriously hamper our
war operations
If few of the gentry responsible
for these mysterious fires" were
forced to face an army firing squad at
dawn one of these days the mysteries
would probably decrease in number

from circulation. This is wrong. The
country today has more money than it
ever had before. If spending should
stop, industry would be obliged to close
down, and millions of persons would be
thrown out of work. He who does not
spend keeps his brother from earning
He who does not earn, cannot buy war
bonds. If the government can't sell
war bonds, it can't buy food, clothing
and arms for our soldiers. If our sold
iers aren't armed, they can't fight.
And if they can't fight, Germany will
win the war.
The whole thing is an endless chain
proposition. A man must spend a rea-
sonable amount of his earnings in order
that his fellow man may thrive And
so onward goes our economic life The
result of general boarding is panic.

told this to Senator Chamberlain the
other day in answer to a speech deliv-
cred in New York by the senator, who

Senator Chamberlain S statement
as to the present inaetion and inef-
fectiveness of the government is an
astounding and absolutely uniustifi-
able distortion of the truth As
matter of fact, the war department
has performed a task of unparalleled
magnitude and difficulty with extra
ordinary promptness and efficiency
There have been delays and disap
pointments and partial miscarriages of
plans, all of which have been drawn
into the foreground and exaggerated by
the investigations which have been in
progress since the congress assembled
investigations which drew indispensable
officials of the department constantly
away from their work and officers
from their command and contributed a
great deal to such delay and confusion
as had inevitably arisen. But by com
parison with what has been accomplish
