CHAPTER VII.

Rations.'
Just doing off; Mr.. Lance Corporal
butted in.
In Tommy's eyes lance corporal is
one degree below private. In the
cOrporal's eyes he Is one degree above
a general.
He ordered me to go with him and
help him draw the next days rations,
also told me to take my waterproof. ,
Every evening, from each platoon or
machine-gun section, lance corporal
and private go to the quartermaster
sergeant at the company stores and
draw rations for the following day.
The quarter" as the quartermaster
sergeant is called, receives daily from
the orderly room Captains office) a
slip showing the number of men en-
titled to rations, SO there is no chance
Of putting anything over on him. Many
arguments take place between the
"quarter" and the platoon noncom, but
the former always wins out. Tommy
says the quarter" got his job because
he was a burglar in civil life.
Then I spread the waterproof sheet
on the ground, while the quartermas-
ter's batman dumped the rations on it.
The corporal was smoking a fag. I
carried the rations back to the billet.
The corporal was still smoking flag.
How envied him. But when the issue
commenced my envy died, and I real
lied that the first requisite of q nop-
commissioned officer on active service
Is diplomacy. There were 10 men in
our section, and they soon formed a
semicircle around US after the corporal
had called out, "Rations up"
The quartermaster sergeant had
given slip to the corporal on which
was written list Of the rations. Sit
ting on the floor, using wooden box
as table, the issue commenced. On
the left Of the corporal the rations
were piled. They consisted of the fol-
lowing:
Six loaves of fresh bread, each loaf
Of different size, perhaps one out Of
the six being as fiat as pancake, the

them "jaw breakers"

Enlist Colorado Students.
The plan was presented and con-
sidered at a recent meeting of the
educational institutions of Colorado,
including the public schools, as we'll
as the colleges and universities. At
this meeting it was decided, in view
of the tremendous Importance of this
war measure, to refer it to the state
council of defense. This was done,
and the council of defense took the
view that since this was a plan which
had been carefully worked out by the
war department with due considera-
ton for the colleges as well as for
the good of the country, and since it
had been fully and deliberately ap-
proved by the President and the ma
tional council of defense as a wise
measure to meet the critical need of
the nation, the educational institu-
tions of Colorado should cordially fall
in with the national movement, and
should cooperate with the council of
defense and all other organized agen-
cies of the state in starting at once
and carrying on vigorously a cam
paign of publicity and education.

pointed to have charge of the cam
paign for enlisting students in Colo

dents in the universities and colleges
of the various states of this country:
therefore, be it
Resolved, By the Colorado State

ty-third annual convention assembled,
that we most heartily indorse this

it further
Resolved, That the officers of this
Federation be instruction to at once
communicate with Secretary of Labor
Wilson and President Gompers of the
American Federation of Labor and
request them to use all possible in

CRIPPLE UNIONS
MEETINGS ARE BECOMING
MORE HAZARDOUS.
Labor Men Looked Upon in Land of
''Kultur" as Traitors and Crimi-
mails; Despotic Treatment
May End in Catastrophe.

Meetings of labor unions in Ger
many are daily becoming more haz-
ardous because of the restrictions
placed around them by the military
authorities, says the current bulletin
of the Friends of German Democracy,
quoting from description of indus
trial conditions written by leading
German. The spirit of the Prussian,
who regards a trade unionist as a
criminal and a traitor, is rampant,
writes this German, and public senti-
ment is rapidly veering from dissat-
isfaction and unrest to one of indig-
nant protest and disastrous strikes.
The bulletin states:
"As far as the right of assembly
of the unions is concerned, the latter
could in the first three years of the
war count on cooperation especially
eral Won Wriesberg was very accom-
modating in regard to their COM
plants.
"This understanding suddenly un-
derwent a change which coincided with
the resignation of Imperial Chancel-
lor Won Bethmann-H Hollweg. That is
certainly not an accident.
"The fact is that Bethmann-H Holl-
veg had some influence on the mill
tary power and was animated blythe
earnest desire to investigate the JUS
titled complaints made by the unions.
That can unfortunately not be said
of the present head Of the govern
ment. The district of the sixth army
corps is in this regard again the
worst.
Restrictions of the right of COM
bination and assembly were only re-
scinded after complaint had been reg
istered with the ministry Of war at
the instigation Of General Wriesberg,
but Immediately after the furious
strike of the miners in Upper Silesia,
which all the unions tried to settle,
were again introduced not only in the
district in which the strike had ,taken
place, but in the entire district under
the jurisdiction Of the sixth army
corps, and also in Breslau, where a
strike had never taken place. The
only purpose which can be determined
is the suspension Of the activity Of the
unions.
"Thru the order forbidding the hold
ing Of meetings, which are just what
clears the atmosphere when any dis
cord arises suddenly, strikes Of the
widest sort are actually furthered. In

An important war subject consid-
cred at the Salida convention of the
Colorado State Federation of Labor
| last week was the program of the fed
eral government to enlist young men
below draft age in the students army
training corps. Educational institu-
tions and labor organizations all over
the country have taken up this pro-
gram with vigor. 1t means equipping
these students as highly trained men
as officers, engineers, doctors, chem
lists and administrators in war work
of every kind.
Outline of Program.
Briefly the plan means this: Stu
dents are asked to enlist for the pc
riod of the war. 1t is the policy of the
government to keep the student in
college until his draft age is reached.
The authorities of the institution in
whose students army training corps
he is enlisted will then consider his
record, and in view of the kind of ca
pacity which he has shown will rec
ommend to the war department either
that he should be furloughed to con-
tinue his military training and his
studies in college until he finishes his
course, or that he should go at once to
an officers training camp to prepare
for an officers commission in the in
fantry, artillery, ETC., or that he should
be assigned to work in the ordnance,
quartermaster, or other staff corps or
sent Immediately to a division at one
of the camps. In other words, it will
be the responsibility of the college
authorities and the commandant in
charge to determine, in view of the
exigencies of the time, in what way
the student can best serve his coun-
try.
Opportunity will be given to the
enlisted student, who so elects, to
transfer from army to navy and vice
versa, and to be assigned to active
service in one of the various corps
of the army upon recommendation of
the college president and the proper
military authority.
Call for Vigorous Campaign.
Should Congress lower the draft
age, men of the new age not already
enlisted may find difficulty in enter
ing the service otherwise than thru
the draft boards. In view of this prob
ability all men expecting to enlist
at all in the students army training
corps will do well to enter this fall.
While the government desires that
all students who can possibly continue
their training in college should do so
whether they enlist or not, 1t now
calls upon every state OF carry on
vigorous campaign urging the enlist
ment of every able bodied and men

Councillor of Mines Berger, who re-

nal and traitor.
at was the great strike wave which
swept over Germany in February of
this year which brought about the
first strike in Breslau, which was only
protest against the general COM
mand. Why then have hardly any
strikes taken place in South Germany
and above all industrial and Socialist
Saxony?
"The rigorous measures of the gen.
eral command are the hot-bed of dis
satisfaction and revolt. In Silesia
there reigns the spirit of the real
Prussian, above all of Won Jagow, the
memory of whose Berlin activities is
still green. We attempt to exercise
soothing influence. But if the au-
tocratic despotism does not come to an
end, we will no longer be able to pre-
vent affairs from rapidly approaching
catastrophe"
