CHAPTER III.

Four OF us had formed q close
friendship. We had promised to keep
together and help one another In
every danger. So we often visited the
homes of citizens together and did our
best to quiet the harassed people we
met and talk them out Of fear Of our
forces. Without exception we found
these people friendly and quick to feel
confidence in us when they learned
that we really were their friends. II
we wrote on their doors with chalk.

God of the Belgians was not there to
protect his.
In most of the places we passed we
were warned not to use the water.
This. of course. had the effect of max
ing the soldiers hate the people from
whom they could expect only death. In
this way the vicious instincts Of our
men were aroused
The water, of course, was nowhere
poisoned. These lies were told to
arouse hatred of the Belgians among
our soldiers.
In the evening, at dusk, we reached
village east of the Bertrix. There
we found poisoned water also. In the
middle of the village we halted and
could see through front window OF
house before which stood. In mis-
cradle home of laborer we saw
woman. She chung to her children as
If afraid they would be torn away from
her. Suddenly a stone as large as a
fist was thrown through the window
into the room and little girl was
wounded on the right hand.
In this village we were billeted in a
barn. With some comrades, went to
the village to buy food. We obtained
ham. bread and wine at farmhouse,
but the people refused any payment
because they considered us guests.
They only asked that we should not
hurt them. We paid them neverthe-

There, as everywhere else we went,
we found the population In mortal
terror Of us. The people trembled

BreadIess Meals Save Wheat.

How are you saving wheat? One
way Is to serve breadless meals now
and then. Have you ever tried them?
Breadless meals need planning
ahead. You can't take just any menu
and take the bread out and expect the
family to like 1t. Bread has several
functions in the meal, and fully de-
serves the high opinion which we have
Of 1t. 1t Is one of our best foods for
fuel, furnishing carbohydrate In the
form of starch and also bodybuilding
protein and mineral substances. But
If the meal contains enough other food
to furnish the starch and the protein
needed why not save the bread?
Try planning your meals so that
these wheat-saving dishes take the
place of the bread. Potatoes, sweet
potatoes or dasheens-mashed, baked,
boiled or riced-rice, oven-fried corn
meal mush, hominy grits, large hon.
my, baked beans, lima beans, split
peas-all are good served as vege-
tables, with meat and gravy. 1t Is not
necessary to serve more than one of
serving two Of them, for instance,
well-browned, crusty croquettes or
fried mush (and these can be cooked
in the oven instead Of In the fat ket-
tle) in addition to potatoes or sweet
potatoes, makes the meal more tasty
for many of us and is an easy way Of
securing variety. Aside from the
question Of economy and convenience
the important thing In such a case Is
not the number Of cereal foods served,
but the character Of the meal as q
whole, which must be truly varied and
not made up almost entirely Of any
single type of food. We must have
other kinds of food in our diet In
abundance as well as starchy foods.
Therefore, In planning your bread
less meals make sure that you serve
an abundance Of fresh vegetables,
such as green cabbage, kale, turnIp
tops, onions, onion tops, dandelions
and other greens, asparagus, green
peas, tomatoes, spinach. carrots and
so on, choosing those which are In sea-
son and abundant in your garden or
your market. With varied meal
planned in the usual way, except that
the servings Of the starchy foods and
the vegetables are larger than usual
to make up for the bread, you can
have a breakfast, dinner or supper
which may be pleasing to the taste and
which will meet the body needs.
There are other food combinations
and dishes which you can take advan-
tage of In planning the meals with
bread. For instance, you may prefer
to replace part of your usual allow
ance Of bread with wheat-saving
dessert. These desserts furnish much
the same food materials as bread, but
In a different form: Rice pudding.
hominy pudding, Indian pudding. tapi-
oca cream or fruit tapioca, cornstarch
pudding, baked bananas (use bananas
which are underripe, because they are
richer in starch than the ripe ones),
or gingerbread made from the wheat
substitutes.

and IL so many things which led to tho

systematically nourished on the part
of the German officers.

ones used by foot artillery, are sup

Yet these animals were seldom up
to expectations, so that 1t was COM
mon thing to detail from 20 TO so men
to assist In transporting these NOR
tars, and long, heavy ropes were car
ried for this purpose. This happened
most frequently whenever the guns
had to be taken off a highway and
brought into a firing position.
Soon we arrived at the city of Ber-
trix. We found many houses at the
right and left Of us burning brightly.
They had been set afire, we learned,
because persons In them had fired on
passing soldiers. In front of one Of
these houses was a half-burned man
and woman with their fifteen or six
teen-year-old son. All were covered
with straw. A little way farther on,
three more civilians were lying dead
in the same street.

For Sensitiveness
"Indiscreet'' Speeches Of
Smith Likened to "Advice"
About Ireland
(StdH Coyl.esDondeace7


LONDON, Feb. 6.-Reports of the ex
pcricnce in America of Sir Frederick
L. Smith, Attorney General of Great
Britain, who was recently recalled to
this country following speeches in the
United States which the government is
said to have regarded as indiscrect, are
being read with the greatest interest
here. "The Globe" says editorially to-
day:
"Thc recent incidents in America
tend to demonstrate once more the
sensitiveness Of the American public
toward any suspicion of interference
with their domestic affairs. We sec
nothing whatever regrettablc in this
attitude. Indeed, we consider it cred
table to the dignity of any self-rc
spectng community that watchful
jealousy should be exercised in that
direction.
"But we must in fairness remind
Americans that such policy works
both ways. If we. for example, by the
reticence desired on the part of our
public men in America, observe such
contract, entered into implicitly and
explicitly. we have the right to expect
like measures Of reciprocity.

time Of what purports to be American
opinion on the advisability of granting
home rule to Ireland if the course Of
American intervention in the war is to
run smoothly. We are not disposed to

factor?"

Baker replied. 81 was not relying
wholly on the supply of American ship
ping"
Senator Hitchcock asked how many
tons Of American shipping could be de-
pended on, and Secretary Baker said he
could not give the information. The
Nebraska Senator said he had secured
from the Shipping Board a statement
of available American tonnage on No
vember 80, and that there were 5S2
ships of 1921 .806 dead weight tons, i'll
cludng tankers and former German
and Austrian ships, all over 800 tons.
"That was the grand total at the dis
posal of the United States" said SEN
ator Hitchcock, adding that, excluding
passenger ships, tankers and other non
cargo carrying ships, only about 400
600 tons was available for supply and
transportation Of troops.
Senator Hitchcock asked Secretary
Baker IL that statement conformed to

Secretary Baker replied that many
H,rtlllery officers were being trained in

French, and that it took more time to

Military Forces Are

Secretary Baker said he did not have
the figures, but thought the forces in
France might show that ratio. He
agreed to furnish Senator Weeks con-
fidentially with exact figures as to the
number of men shipped and the pro-
portion of lighting troops.
Senator Weeks asked what tonnage
the War Department. had available. lie
said he had heard that it had 791 900
tons on February l. Mr.. Baker did
not know exactly, but thought that
was an underestimate.
Senator Weeks asked if the depart
ment figured on net, gross or dead
weight tonnage. He said that he had
heard that the German statements of
tonnage destruction by submarines
were based on dead weight calcula-
tions and the English on net tonnage,
which made the apparently divergent
figures given by each side very close
together. i'll fact. Mr.. Baker could not

has become available during the last
ten days"
The vessels were Withdrawn from
various lines. where they had been re-
placed by neutral shipping.
Much Of the tonnage originally avail
able for men and supplies had been
diverted to the harbor and arsenal
projects abroad, he said, and the pur-
chase Of artillery abroad had served to
relieve shipping somewhat, although
the necessity of transporting raw ma
terials for the guns had figured in the
final result

Senator Mckellar said Surgeon Cen

finished
"Why did You do that?" demanded
the Senator.

Senator Mcclellan asked for details
as to the amount Of artillery furnished
to the training camps in this country,
which MIR. Baker agreed to supply in
full. He read brief statement show
ing that National Guard artillery bri-
gades had been 40 per cent equipped
with threeinch guns and that National
Army cantonments had been supplied
with from one to six batteries each.
Every howitzer regiment has at least
