WHEN A CUP OF
COFFEE TASTES LIKE
A MILLION DOLLARS
He Got His Cup and Then
Went Onto Death.

Through the establishment Of the
line Of communication canteens In
France the American Red Cross is set
ting records in serving hot coffee, CO.
Goa and sandwiches to the troops. One
Of these refreshment units made an
other new record recently, serving
more than $4,000 meals In one week.
At another cup Of coffee was served
every ten seconds for a period of two
consecutive hours.
In a single week these lines of COM
munication canteens often serve 10000
American and French soldiers.
Soldiers In Box Cars.
Do our soldiers and their allies real
ly want this form of Red Cross sery.
ice2 A letter from young American
aviator, 1917 graduate Of Princeton
University, Is probably typical. 1t
might be added that this man has since
been reported killed after bringing
uOWu NCAm@ 1AuBG. n ~ mile
train ride over here he said, INSTEAD
of taking few hours may take days
When we stop at Red Cross canteen
you can bet that cup Of coffee tastes
like million dollars"
1t is not always possible for a regi-
ment to provide sufficient food and hot
coffee on these long journeys, where
the men must often be packed stand
ing into unheated box cars ordinarily
used for carrying horses. So imagine
for yourself the warmth, the cheer, the
comfort that piping hot coffee and
good sandwiches bring to our boys aft
er night on such a Journey You
can just bet that 1t stiffens a mans
courage. Your Red Cross is handing
out this renewed courage by the piping
hot cupful.

A MOTHERS PROMISE
TO HER SON
By KATHLEEN NORRIS

stay, Just as you planned ! planned,
and said to myself: when the time
comes for us to part l shall make him
a promise" Dear one, this Is my
promise, and make 1t for the term
of your own-"for the duration Of the
present war"
/ promise you that while you are
away, whether 1t Is months or years,
nothing except what / can give you
and give all the others shall fill my
life. / promise you that ] shall de-
vote myself, here in safety, to the
work of making what you do easier
and stronger and safer for you.
promise you that shall give-and
give and give-for the Cause Not
the money l can spare, not the time
l have left when everything else is
done, but all the money, all the time,
all the energy have
Your whole life has been altered,
has been set to sterner and graver
music. So shall mine be. You will
know self denial, privation and fatigue
while the war lasts So shall ! know
them. Even If black news comes, even
IL the blacklist comes, ! shall remem-
Der that against your brave heart this
promise Is resting, and shall 60 on,
And while there is one man among our
million and among the millions Of our
allies who needs clothing and nursing
and comforts and solace for your sake
shall not fail him.
Perhaps in Gods goodness this note
will come safely back to me in the
olive drab pocket, and we win smile
over it together. But, remember, until
that hour comes shall be always busy
filling my own small place In the great
machine Of mercy and as truly under
the colors over here as you are over
there. God bless you

Germans Puzzled
By Alarm Clock

With the American Arm yin France
May 13.-How an American alarm
clock kept the whole German line
guessing and caused the Germans use
less expenditure of large quantities
of machine-gun and rifle ammunition
all one night was related today.
The Americans had been trying for
some time to draw the fire Of certain
enemy units.
Leave Fritz to me- said happy
faced young American, who putting
an alarm clock under his arm, disap-
peared into No Mans Land under
cover of darkness and fastened the
clock to a wire.
Soon the alarm rang, whereupon
the Germans opened fire. The wire
had been so arranged that The clock
continued to ring internationally and
each time draw violent fire from the
enemy. Meanwhile the Americans
rested in their trenches and enjoyed
hearty laugh.
An American officer turned the
tables nicely on the enemy recently.
The Germans had retired during a
bombardment to concrete dugouts be-
hind their trenches, leaving the first
three lines to one man, who went
around setting up flares so as to Gre
ate the impression that the whole
front was alive with Germans.
An American patrol leader went
over and discovered the ruse. He
killed the one German, invaded the
trenchesand gathered dozens Of street
signs which the Germans had posted,
returning to his own lines with the
signs tucked under his arm.

Americans VIII Participate On
Limited Scale For the Present and
Chiefly For the Moral Effect

blow for democracy against the kais-
er's forces.
1t is certain that General FOch vi
not be tempted to use the Americans
in great offensive until American
man power in France has reached its
full strength. General Foch has
shown highly unusual qualities Of pa
tience and avoidance Of temptation
since he was given command Of the
Joint armies. He can be trusted.
thereforef not to waste Americas
strength in series Of secondary Of
lenses before America is fully ready
OF rthe big blow.
1t is increasingly unlikely that this
blow win fall on the Germans ia Pi-
cardy or Flanedrs. The Lorraine
front continues, to offer the greater
possibilities of success. The capture
of Mebz may represent the first great
victory Of the United States in Eu-
rope. The retention by te Americans
of their trench positions in eastern
France strongly suggests that Foch
is relying on General Pershing's men
for major operations in that direc-
ton From Metz to the Rhine seems
to be the road America will take to
win the war for democracy.

New York, May 14.--America's
great armies in France are not to be
used by General Foch for defensive
fighting, but are being held back for
offensive preparations if the allies
generalissimo has decided the time
has come for major operations
against Hindenburg. The fact that
the rapidly Increasing strength Of the
overseas Americans is not accompa-
MED by enlargement Of American sec
tors in Picardy and Flanders I'M
doubtedly menas that General Foch
wants American participation during
the present period of fighting to be
on a strictly limited scale and chiefly
for its moral effect.
This attitude of General Foch dem
onstrates that he believes the defen-
sive powers Of the AngIo-French for
ces are sufficient to prevent the Ger
mans from doing any serious damage
along the west front. The Americans,
therefore, according to Foch's plan,

Army and Navy News

The Navy Department has prepared
a bill to give warrant officers on shore
duty beyond the continental limits of
the United States the same pay as
they now receive while on sea duty,
to be effective from April 6. 1911, and
effective until six T1onths after the
termination of the war.
The pay of warrant officers, at the
present time, is specifically prescribed
by section 1855 of the Revised Stat
utes, which rates of pay were in
creased % per cent by the act of May
13, 1905 C35 Stat, l2S. and is divided
into three classes, that is, sea pay.
shore pay, leave or waiting orders
pay. The rate of pay for sea duty Is
greater than that for shore duty. but
there is no provision for increased
pay for shore duty beyond the seas.
and the result is that they receive
the same pay for foreign shore duty
as they receive for shore duty within
the United States. Commissioned Off
GERS and chief warrant officers OF the
navy receive 10 per cent add fonal of
their pay for sea duty as wen as for
shore duty beyond the continental
limits of the United States. and 1t is
believed to be only equitable that the
pay Of warrant officers should be
equalized in this respect with that of
chief warrant and commissioned
officers.
