Armies to Be Commanded by Gene

Armies to BE Commanded by Gene
rails Whose Soldiers Predominate.
Washington, May 15.--Gen. Per-
shing probably will soon be COM
manding French and British troops
as the process Of brigading Ameri-
cans with their allies on the western
front goes forward
AS If exemplifying the unity of
command and action into which the
United States and its co-belligerents
nave entered, 1t became known here
, to-day that whenever American
; troops predominant in the brigaded
divisions as the process goes on,
! these divisions under present plans,
will be turned over to Gen. Per-
shing's command.
This plan would accomplish seve-
raj things which the military author
tiles consulting upon it regard as very
desirable. 1t would rapidly increase
the size Of the American fighting
command on the battle line; it would
contribute tremendously to the
spirlty of unity and concerted effort,
and at the same time instead of
holding large numbers Of American
troops behind the line while training
will surround them with seasoned
veterans and under actual battle
conditions school them to be re-bri-
gaded later with fresh American
troops coming to France. In this
way the efficiency of the British and
French forces is expected to be in
creased and the work Of building up
a great, fully-trained and completely
equipped fighting force in France
fastened.
In addition to this, as Illustrative
OF the unity Of command under
which Gencralssimo Foch directs
all the allied armies, it was stated
oihctally here to-day that Foch com
mands the Italian troops in Italy
as FULLY as he does the American,
Brush and French troops in France
ana 1t had been supposed that con-
sldcrlng the Italian front as part Of
the western battle under decision
reached at Versailles conference, the
genera lissimo's authority extended
there.
For the first time, however, it was
stated unreservedly that Gen. Foch's
supreme command extended to Italy.
1t was stated also that Italy, be-
sides sending troops to France in
numbers equal to those sent from the
United States now has on her nghting
line larger army, more perfectly
equipped, than she had before the
great Austrian drive. This may be
explanatory Of the apparent unqua-
nimity with which the allied leaders
face recurrent reports of new drive
on tho Italian front.
The Information, however, that the
brigaded allied divisions in the west
probably will be placed under the
command Of Gen. Pershing when the
number Of American troops con-
tanned in them predomtnates was
taken to mean that the same princi-
pie would be operated whom the pre-
DONNA ting numbers were Frenhc or
British.

Smith changed his street clothes
l~elsurely after Starbuck had gone, and
when he went downstairs stopped at
the desk to toss his room key to the
clerk.
The hotel register was lying open on
the counter, and from force of habit he
ran his eye down the list Of late ar
rivals. At the end of the list, in
SPRAYING characters upon which the
Ink was yet fresh, he read his SEN
tence, and for the first time in his life
knew the meaning of panic fear. The
newest entry was:
Josiah Richlander and daughter,
Chicago"
Smith was not misled by the place
name. There was only n Josiah
HIGHLANDER" in the world for him, and
he knew that the Lawrenceville mag
nate, in registering from Chicago, was
only following the example Of those
who, for good reasons or NJ reason,
use the name Of their latest stopping
place for a registry address.

CHAPTER XII.
A Reprieve.

Smiths blood ran cold and there was
a momentary attack Of shocked con-
sternatlon, comparable to nothing that
any past experience had to offer. But
there was no time to waste In curious
speculatiOns as to the why and where
fores. Present safety was the prime
consideration. With Josiah Richland-
er and his daughter in Brewster, and
guests under the same roof with him,
discovery, Identification, disgrace were
knocking at the door. He could har-
Dor no doubt as to what Josiah Rich
lander would do If discovery came. For
so long a time as should be consumed
in ~telegraphing between Brewster and
L~aUrencevllle, Smith might venture to
call himself a free man. But that vas
the limit.
One minute later he had hailed a
passing autocab at the hotel entrance,
and the four miles between the city
and Colonel Baldwln's ranch had been
tossed to the rear before he remem-
bered that he had expressly declined
a dinner invitation for that same eve
ming at Hillcrest, pleading business to
Mrs. Baldwin in person when she had
called at the Office with her daughter.
Happily, the small social offense
went unremarked, or at least unre-
buked. Smith found his welcome at
the ranch that Of a man who has the
privilege Of dropping in unannounced.
The colonel was loosely h~ospitable, as
he always was; Mrs. Baldwin was gra-
clously lenient-was good enough, In
deed, to thank the eleventh-hour guest
for reconsidering at the last moment
and Corona
Notwithstanding all that had come
to pass Notwithstanding, also, that his
footing in the Baldwin household had
come to be that Of a family friend,
Smith could never be quite sure Of the
bewitchingly winsome young woman
who called her father "colonel-daddy."
Her pose, If 1t were a pose, was the at
titude of the entirely unspoiled child of
nature and the wide horizons. When
he was with her she made him think
of all the words expressive Of trans
parency and absolute and utter uncon.
cealment. Yet there were moments
when he fancied he could get passing
glimpses of a subtler personality at the
Western liberal. (Lordsburg, N.M.) 1887-1919, 1918-01-18
CHAPTER xI-contlnued.

It had been a day Of nagging distrac-
lions. A rumor had been sent afoot-
by Stanton, as Smith made no doubt
limiting that the new dam would be I'M
safe when 1t should be completed that
its breaking, with the reservoir behind
It. would carry death and destruction
to the lOwlands and wen to the city.
Timld stockholders, seeing colossal
damage suits in the bare possibility,
had taken the alarm, and Smith had
spent the greater part of the day in
trying to calm their fears. For this
cause, and some others, he was IN the
ragged edge when Baldwin dropped in
on his way home from the dam and
protested.
"Look here, John; you're OVERRIDING
this thing world without endl You
break it Off short, right now, and 60
home with me and get your dinner and
a good nights rest. Get your coat and
hat and come along, or I'll rope you
down and hOg-tle you"
For once In a way, Smith found that
there was no fight left In him, and he
yielded, telling himself that another
acceptance Of the Baldwin hospitality

more or less, could make no difference.
But no sooner was the colonel's gray
roadster headed for the bridge across
the TimanyOnl than the e~xhllarating
reaction set In. In a twlnkllng the
business cares, and the deeper worries
as well, fed away, and In their place
heart-hunger was loosed.
After dinner, a meal at which he ate
little and was we'll content to satisfy
the hunger Of his soul by the road Of
the eye, Smith went out to the porticO
to smoke. The most gorgeous of noun
tain sunsets was painting Itself upon
the sky over the western Timanyonis,
but he had no eyes for natural
grandeurs, and no ears for any sound
save one-the footstep he was listen
ing for. 1t came at length, and he
tried to look as tired as he had been
when the colonel made him close
his desk and leave the office; tried and
apparently succeeded.
"You poor, broken-down Samson

mOney-Phillstlnes on your shoulders

There is one good American food Of
which we have an abundance and we
can use as much Of 1t as we like
corn. Use all kinds and in many ways.
Popcorn is one of the kinds every n
likes. 1t is a good food just simply
popped, and can also be made into such
a wholesome, inexpensive sweet that 1t
should be widely used. Here is the
way to pop 1t and several ways to use
1t:
Shell the corn If 1t is on the cob
and pop the dried corn in a covered
iron ~frying-pan or a regular pepper,
shaking vigorously. If a wire pepper
is used, do not pop the corr directly
over the flame or 1t will scOrch. Shake
it quite high over the flames, or better
over Goals or on the top Of the stove.
Take just enough corn to cove the
bottom of the pepper. A cupful Of pop
corn makes about three quarts when
popped.
Popcorn is good, of course, seasoned
with salt. A common way Of serving
is to mix with a very little melted but
ter and then sprinkle with salt. But
have you ever tried 1t as a breakfast
food eaten with milk or cream2 II
makes a good cereal.
To make a sweet of popcorn boil to-
gether one cupful of corn strip and one
tablespoonful of vinegar until a few
drops harden in water and pour 1t over
the freshly popped corn while 1t is hot.
AS o as It is cool enough to handle,
grease the hands and form into balls.
This amount of strip covers three
quarts of popcorn.
Chocolate popcorn is delicious. Cook
one cupful of corn strip for five min
utes. Add two ounces Of chocolate 1.-TWO
squares), and stir until melted. Cook
slowly until a soft ball is formed in
water. Beat until thick. Have the
popped corr in a creased dish. Pour
the strip over 1t and form into balls
when cool enough to handle. This
amount overs IA quarts Of popcorn.
Farmers Bulletin 553 tells how to
grow popcorn. Why not have a few
rows of popcorn in your garden next
spring?
