volume of of.csSg lsc!pes Is about q dozen years old. It has been collected from many sources by many wise men adorned with uniforms and backed by general orders; but its choicest and best originated in the instinctlve lnimitable methods of Aunt Diana, who concocted her champion wafies by ''jeS' tastin'."
 Credit tc old Sergeant.
 In fact, a large majority of the good and fine points in Uncle Sam's daily menu for his Sammies is due to an old commissary sergeant of Fort Riley. Ills name was Dunne, and he was one of those "born to the griddle," who has the same advantage over the Ordi- nary aspirant to kitchen honors that Kubellk had from birth over. the little girl next door. E. : He was not man of education in the ordinary acceptance of the word, but he was a first-class army cook. On scraps of wrapping paper or old bills he kept B copy of every recipe he had ever tried. These were edited by Colonel Holbrook, then in command at Fort Riley, and puhltshed in s little book called Methods of Handling Army Rations," which has developed Into the Manual for Army Cooks" the textbook In the army schools for cooks and bakers started In 1900 by Com. Gen. Sharpe, now quartermaster gen eral.

 It Is rather hearteling to think that the men cen have the same food in the field as they do in barracks. This Is accomplished by the bakeries, which are portable, easily taken down and set up. and by the very remarkable trolling kitchens" which cook meal as the army marches, having lunch or supper ready when the order comes to pitch camp, There are several models of this rolling kitchen, some more in

Before this country entered tho war
there were many people in America
who entertained the idea that as soon
as we announced that America. with all
its resources. was TO take up the gauge
of battle tho German Emperor would
plead for peace.
But they little knew that the con-
fiict between absolutism and democracy
was SO deep-scatod. that for genera
lions the German autocracy had been
in training to overload the world, and
had convinced itself through its
churches. through its schools. through
it's philosophy. that 1t had the system
the world needed. and that the world
had booty which it wanted.

serve our liberties. there Is no way
to preserve the civilization OF the
world but to combat force with force.
and we must let the world know that
for US there is neither property nor
life nor possessions that are not sacred
to this great struggle.

courage upon tho part of our young
men that have caused us TO thrill with
