Soldiers Home Notes
A VERY INTERESTING TALK

Governor R. B. Cooke. of the Sol
diers' Home gave very pleasant talk
in the Protestant Chapel ut the Home
ON Wednesday evening on his visit Of
inspection 10 the yariuus NoticE3l
Homes in company with Dr, Miller,
Inspector General of the Homes.
Their first stop was at Leayenworth
Kansas, which is the largest of the
Western Homes. Here every comfort
was provided. and the Bows il Blue
were appl ong'y happy and Contented.
Their next visit Was 10 the Battle
Mountain Saniterium. The barron
and desOlate region they passed thru
showed little evidence of life. They
found winter prevailing on their arriv
al and the ground covered wirh snow,
but which soon melted awing 10 the
heat of the ground from the hot wa
ter of these remarkable spl ings Just
to the north of the sanitorium sever
al miles snow lay to the depth of
five feet
Salt lake was visited, and he told
of the remarkable city founded by the
Mormons; of the vast Salt Lake
stretching as far as the eye could
see, vast ocean He told of its
having no evidence of life, of not
single living thing being visible, ow-
ing to the extreme salt water.
Los Angles, California was the next
place visited and the Home at San
Monaco of its remarkable size and
extent of it's membership, and the
facilities for the enjoyment of the
fruits of that region. He owned that
is was possible there to visit re-
gions of perpetual snow and eyerlast-
ing summer, all in one day. He told
Of the oil territory he visited on the
shore of the Pacific Ocean, where
crude oil was being pumped from the.
bottom of the ocean in large quanti-
ties, of the wonderful productivenass
of the choicest fruits in that interest
ing land, of the remarkable extent of
territory and the great variety of the
various tropical fruits produced in
this wonderful San joaquin Valley,
the great work accomplished in the
rebuilding of San Francisco after the
earthquake and the beautiful new and
costly buildings it now contains.
The most interesting part OF his adj
dress was when he referred 70 the
wonderful degree of patriotism he wit
messed throughout his trip. This was
true every where, even to the barren
and dry plains of Arizona, and the
struggle every body was making to
do their bit" to win this cruel war
Even along the border line of Mexico
patriotism of a high order seemed to
prevail.
In his talk he told of his visit to
the Government uniform factory To-
Gated at Dayton, Ohio, that the day of
the use of blue clothing was passed
and that the khaki produced was be-
ing distributed because it was no lon-
ger possible to get material to manu-
facture blue uniforms.
Governor Cook is a pleasant speak
er and seemed to have wonderful
powers of observation. His audience
voted him success as
a lecturer and predicted for him
bright future should he enter the field

What the Italian Premier Thinks of
the American Red Cross

When the Austrians last October
routed the Italian Army by trickery
and drove before them half million
refugees, the part which the American

magnificent dashes of relief work that
has ever come to light.
