The cooking appliances are the
most modern and compact machin-
cry that money can buy. The mas
sive range is one of the largest ever
constructed, and is mounted on a
huge wagon which is hauled into
the kitchen tent and placed in po-
siton every morning. The sides
of the wagon are then folded down
so as to form wide platform on
both sides OF the range, and then
everything is in readiness for the
days cooking.
A great deal of the circus cooking
is done by steam, generated from
boiler wagon and piped to the va

rubber hose, which is quickly and
easily connected.
The commissarv system of the
Barnum 4 Bailey circus is conSid-
cred the most perfect method ever

study of it in operation. Much OF
the paraphernalia and system has
already been adopted by the armies

FLOW OF AMERICANS

With the American Army ir
England, June 7.-(Correspondenc.
OF The Associated Press s).-Ameri
cas- increased flow of troops into
France has brought to the British
public a realization OF the magni-
tude OF the movement. The com
ings and goings of force after force
have impressed the residents OF
England with the might OF their new
ally as nothing else has.
Since the first days OF May the
growing volume has been apparent
Wave after wave of American
troops has moved forward from the
ports Of arrival through the country
to rest camps and from them on to
the ports of embarbation with only
enough pause to get the sea wobble
out OF the men legs.
The number of rest camps-the
name that has come to be applied
to what really are concentration
camps-has been increased and
British traffic men are finding them
selves heavily taxed to maintain un-
interrupted the shuttle of shipping
between England and France. The
British are doing that part of the
work and American officers have
been high in their praise OF the eff
hciency displayed.
Americans are in command of the
men when they land and are respon-
sible for them in the temporary
camps and up to the point of going
to the piers where ships are waiting
to carry them to France, but the
transportation both across the coun-
try and overseas is in the hands OF
men who have been moving the
British millions since 1914.
1t is at the rest camps that the
American soldier gets his first real
stop in the voyage he began at an
port. At the port of de-
he is given scarcely
pause and no opportunity whatever
to look around. From the ship that
brought him over he is marched di-
rectly to waiting train. Then the
journey to camp is begun. But the
trains are fact and the country is
small, so the journey never is lond.
When the train stops there is
march, usually for two or three
miles, before camp is reached. To
the Britisher who sees passing ev
cry day the thousand of men the
sight is impressive.

WAR SUMMARY

Germany still hesitates to chal-
lenge the allies to heavy fighting
by resumption of offensive move
ments Initiative in local engage
ments and raiding operations is in
the hands OF allied troops and they
continue to harass the enemy at
many points between Ypres and
Rheims.
British troops on several sectors
have raided the German lines on the
Flanders and Picardy battle fields
the Australians III one place bring

French patrols have penetrated the
enemy positions near Bussaires, to
the south of Corey, the scene of the
latest French gain which the Ger
mans have made attempts to dis
pute.
On the Marne front American
troops have routed German patrol
which attempted raid. On this
front as well as on most of the Brit
ish front, from Ypres to the Somme,
the weather has been rainy and
stormy.

Air platoons have suffered from
the unfavorable atmospheric condi-
tions, and artillery activity has died.
Berlin claims that FIVE airplanes out
of an American squadron OF six,
which attempted to raid Coblenz,
fell into German hands. the crews
being made prisoner. There is no
confirmation of this report from any
source.
British airmen have dropped
bombg on Offenburg, manufac-
turing town southwest of Karlsruhe,
Germany. American aviators on the
Toul sector have accounted for two
enemy machines.
Austrian forces in eastern Alba
MIA continue to retire before the
pressure OF the advancing Franco
Italian detachments. In the Tomo-
RIGA valley the enemy is fleeing
northward before the French, who
have reached the valley from the
east and occupied several villages.
Italian troops on the west have oc-
cupied the commanding peak of
Glumaka. capturing $50 prisoners.
This height commands the district
between Berat and the Tomorica.

have been driven from towns on the
Volga, both northeast and south
east of Moscow. Western Siberia,

in firm control OF the Czecho-Slo-
wax forces who hold many miles of
the Trans Siberian railway and i'm
portant cities along its routes. 1t is
not improbable the Czechs are NOV

would account for the reported boil

WHEN TRAINS CROSS
THE ARCTIC CIRCLE
EVERYBODY IS MERRY

London, June OO-(By The Asso
ciated Press Correspondent Recent,
in Rumania).-On the trains run

makes stop of several hours in the
midst of snow-covered waste or
the shores of the white sea. The
passengers stretch their legs anC
take constitutional out over the
the frozen surface of the white sea
while picnic dinner is being pre-
pared.
The exact spot where the railroad
crosses the circle is probably not
determined with scientific accuracy
but the men who built the railroad
apparently agreed on an approx
mate location. and this is marked
with suitable inscription. At this
point also the railroad builders have
left slight gap, probably not more
than a qurater of an inch, between
the rails, SO that as passengers
often notice, when the train passes
over the circle, there is a distinct
jolt and jar
The American Red Cross Mis-
sion to Rumania began to prepare
for the festival of the Arctic Circle
crossing several days in advance
The event was celebrated with a
dinner of Lapland turkey and wild
cranberries. with an entree of roast
reindeer. The turkeys were secured
a few days previously by Colonel
Henry w. Anderson, the command
ing officer of the American unit,
who stopped the train for an after
noon in order to launch game
hunting expedition along the south
ern shores OF the frozen white sea.
The evening was marked by par
brilliant display OF the Au-
rora Borealis or Northern Lights,
which most OF the members OF the
party witnessed for the first time.
The aurora appeared at duck and

streaks and circles across the whole

COTTON FIELDS LABOR
PROBLEM Be SOLVED

Oklahoma City, Okla, July H.
A suggestion of method for as.
sisting in meeting the labor prob
lem in the cotton fields will be ad-
dressed to county school superin-
tendents about the first of August
by State School Superintendent r.
II. Wilson, that official announced
recently.
81 am going to suggest to the
county superintendents," said Mr.
Wilson, that they have the direc-
tors in the various school districts
call meetings OF the taxpayers to
consider the question OF the cotton
harvest, and decide particularly
whether school shall begin at the
usual time in the fall, and a re-
cess be taken in October to give
the children opportunity to assist
in the cotton fields, or, on the 9TH
er hand, if opening of school shall
be delayed until after the greater
part OF the cotton is picked.
Last year the labor problem
arose rather unexpectedly, and i'll
many OF the districts in the cotton
sections of the state, schools were
dismissed for week or more. This
year we want to anticipate the con-
dition and prepare for it.
Whether the districts will make
up the time lost by adding to the
length of the term next spring, or
will adop plan OF keeping school
open six days in the week, | can
not say. That is matter that is
left to the local boards"
