SOLDIER ABANDONS
HIS HUNGER STRIKE
Camp Meade Conscientious Object
or Finally Decides to Eat.

Camp Meade. March. 6.-After a
twenty-five day hunger strike. Jacob
Rose. of Philadelphia. stationed at
Camp Meade, radical Socialist, and
conscientious objector, who does not
want to fight Germans or anybody
else. is eating and drinking again in
the base hospital OF the mobilization
camp.
Rose did not mind courting starva-
ton while he had a number of fello W
&C. O.'s" around him, but when his
audience consisted OF the cold staring
doctors, in colorless white, and the
sentiment existing was, IF he wants
to die by starvation, it's not the gov
ernment's fault"-well, he changed his
mind a bit.
He is now lying in the psychiatric
ward of the hospital, and looks fondly
for the nurse who brings in his tea
and toast in the morning. And he is
eating again.

One thing that should add to the

that the harmonica these days is

MUCH AMMONIA IS
SAVED BY ice co.
New York Concern Reduces Con-
sumption so Per Cent.

In the three winter months-De-
cember. January and February-one
New York ice manufacturer saved
22,S64 pounds of ammonia. This is
the first definite report OF savings
that has yet been received by the
United States Food Administration,
which is endeavoring to decrease the
consumption of ammonia in order
that our limited supply may be made
to meet the absolute needs OF muni-
tions manufacturers and OF ice and
refrigerating plants.
In letter to the Food Administra-
tion the Knickerbocker Ice Com
pany quoted figures to show that its
conservation efforts have been sue
cessful. In December, 1916. and
January and February, 1917, it used
36.671 pounds OF ammonia. In the
three months OF this past winter 1t
used only 1S,s07 pounds-a net saw
ing Of more than so per cent.
The Food Administration believes
that II the experience OF the Knick-
erbocker Company is typical of the
industry the actual needs OF the
country may be met without undue
curtailnent of ice consumption or Of
refrigeration.

Best Service Column in tie Civ

ing the death OF Capt. Alexander
Hamilton Innes. OF the United States
army, who was found dead in a room
of West Fayette street Hotel in
Baltimore on Tuesday night. Oficials
are particularly anxious TO locate a
woman with whom he registered last
Saturday as his wife. and who has
not been seen since the body was
found. She is said to have left the
hotel a few hours previous to the
time Capt. Innes' death was discov-
cred, and her whereabouts are at
present veiled in mystery. The coro-
ner is OF the opinion that death was
entirely due to natural causes. How
ever. it is believed that the woman i'll
the case could shed some interesting
light.
Capt. Innes was 45 years old and
was an expert in drilling and in
structing men. For a period of twenty
years preceding the war he was a
sergeant in the Coast Artillery at
1 Fort Monroe. Since the outbreak of
hostilities he had been active in war
preparations and had won recogni-
tion and advancement by reason or
his efficiency and faithful perform
ance of duty.
Capt. Innes was born in Virginia
and graduated from the Virginia
Military Institute.
Valor and fidelity to duty among
the men and women who make up
our great fighting organization will
be encouraged and honored by sew
eral new insignia and decorations
which have been ordered by the
War Department.
The most important of these is
the Distinguished Cross, which is to
be awarded for extraordinary
heroism in connection with military
operations against the armed en-
| emy of the United States under cir
cumstances which do not justify the
award of the medal of honor" Other
new insignia will be distinguished

forth it will be known as The Liberty
Hut"
William Knowles Cooper. director OF
the Young Mems Christian Association
made this announcement at a monster
song rally held there last night.
Rody Was Guest.
"Rody," the popular chorister of the
Billy Sunday party was the guest or
honor at the mammoth rally when the
three ohoirs which have been singing
during the eight weeks of the Sunday
campaign allied themselves for the
purpose OF a permanent organization
under the direction of Percy s. Foster,
the favorite local chorus leader.
There were so many features and
so much fun. which broke out so
continuously and in so many varied
spots that ii would be nigh impossi-
BILE to chronicle everything but
there Is much that must be told
about Rody. John Alden Brewster,
one of Billy's two extraordinary
pianists. and the series of unique
stunts pulled off by this pair.
Knowing that they might not
again have the pleasure of Rody's
presence for long. long time" the
audience encored him into going
through his entire repertoire.
He sang solos. he sang in duet, he
sang in a trio. he pulled of a num-
ber of irst-class sleight-of- hand
tricks, and last, but far from least,
he recited q number OF soul" poems
and in way of conclusion asked for
trail-hitters. And the best part OF
1t all. is that he got them: More
than a score answered sis call and
took their stand for Jesus Christ"
All sort OF liberties were taken
during the course OF the program,
which all contributed to a homelike
atmosphere.
Sings Old Songs.
In the first place Rody suggested
that Brighten the Corner" be modu-
lated by dividing the married people
and the single people. This made a
hit.
Rody had not forgotten to bring. his
