TO MAKE GRAND
CANYON Of ARIZONA
A NATIONAL PARK

Washington, Nov 5y-Congress
seems at last about to make the
Grand Canyon of Arizona a Nation
al Park. For years the canyon has
been quite generally regarded as a
park, but officially it is section of
two national forests, game refuge
and a national monument.
"lt has never been managed as a
part of the park system. and has new
er been susceptible OF development
as such" says the house public lands
committee in reporting favorably a
senate bill that would dedicate $50
square miles - 100000 acres - in
northern Arizona as the Grand Can
yon National Park. This magnif-
icent gorge should now take its place
as a link in the national park chain
which already includes most of the
nations wonderful and extraordinary
natural features"
1t was thirty-two years ago last
January that the first bill to make
the Grand Canyon national park
was introduced in the senate by the
late ex-President Benjamin Harrison
then a senator from Indiana. Since
then the proposal has been present
ed to congress from time to time.
at appears that there never has
been a valid objection advanced
against it," declares Secretary Lane,
in a statement iayoring the project.
"Nor can such an objection be urged
because the Grand Canyon belongs
to the federal government and any
attempt to thwart 4 change in its
status, which would distinctly re-
dound to its advantage, must be
by some private interest.
Private resources have accom-
plshed limited Development Thou
sands Of tourists visit the canyon
but, due to the lack OF
roads, trails and side-trip destina-
ions, the throngs have little oppor-
unity to enjoy in full measure the
grandeur OF the region.
Less than 400 of the 6OOOOO acres
hat the proposed legislation would
)lace in the park are now in private
ownership, these being held in small
parcels near the rim. Obviously, the
yreater part of the land lies within
he enouromus gulf, measuring at
ONE points 20 miles across the top.

Canteen Lunches
Improve Efficiency Of
Munitions Workers

London. Oct. II { BY MaiD-Can-
teen lunches in war munition fac.
tories have been a vital factor in i'm
proving the efficiency OF worker:
say officials of the ministry OF mu-
nitions. Instead of eating unappet-
izing food from his work bench, the
employee sits down in a well-lighted
clean dining room and for less than
25 American cents obtains a three
course meal that would be the envy
OF a city business man. One noon
day menue. for example will be
green pea soup, roast beef, baked
potatoes. spring cabbage and gin
ger pudding-all for p cents.
A committee concerned with the
health of munitions workers finds
that cheap foods such as bread,
margarine, porridge, milk, herrings.
cheese, beans, onions. cabbages,
turnips and the cheapest cuts OF
meat provide all the requisite nour-
ishment.
A big advantage of the canteen.
according to one factory manager, is
that it draws employer and men
more closely together.

AN ANCIENT ARMISTICE.

The arranging OF an armistice
with Germany would not be SO dif-
iicult matter il the Allies did not
know Germany so well. A nation
cannot live down four years Of
criminal duplicity in a couple of
weeks. Still less can it obliterate a
record for treachery lasting over
1000 years.
Some student has resurrected a
bit ow history penned by Plutarch in
the year s. b. c. which has a
wonderfully modern flavor and a
particular bearing on the present
war situation:
Julius Caesar. on his return TO
his army in Gaul, found another
furious war lighted up in the coun-
try, the Usipetes and the Tencteri,
two great German nations. having
crossed the Rhine to make CON
quests.
These barbarians sent deputies
to HIM TO propose an armistice.

their men at arms they overthrew
5000 of his horsemen. who were not
prepared for an engagement. After
ward they sent other deputies to
for what had happened,
but without any other intention than
that of deceiving him again"
And did Julius Caesar fall for
this second German trick? He did
not.
These agents of theirs he detain-
ed, and marched Immediately against
them, thinking it absurd to stand
upon honor with such perfidious
men, who had not scrupled to vio-
ate the truce" As a result, "of
he barbarians who passed the Rhine
here were 100000 killed"

BREAD AND BEEF
BY TRA|NL0AO

American Regulation Base in
France, Sept. 80 Correspondence
OF The Associated Press)-Bread
for the American soldiers is brought
here by trainloads from the great
army field bakery a few miles dis
tant-one train OF thirty cars a day
all loaded with white bread from the
best OF wheat flour.
One such train was arriving as The
Associated Press correspondent vis-
tied the base. Another trainload Of
refrigerated beef arrived soon af-
terward from the great refrigerating
plant at Gievre.
1t was the same with other classes
OF supplies, rations, forage fuel and
oil-all came in huge bulk to this
concentrating and distributing point,
for this is one of the great nerve
centers OF supplies for the fighting
men.
Here the trainloads are broken up
into fifteen parts, two cars to a part
and each part goes toward making
up a new automatic train carry
ing supplies OF all kinds to the sol
diers-hiteen trains day automatic
ally leaving for the front loaded with
food or fighting material.
Putting yard engines were doing
the work OF splitting up the trains
and reforming new ones. Gradually
the confused mass of cars, the bread
and meat trains melted away and
the IS automatic trains took definite
form. As they were completed they
moved off to Sidings to take their
turn in the steady stream OF trains
moving out to the fighting front
This is the process, repeated day
after day, in the formation OF the
automatic trains, that marvel OF
transportation that has so bewilder-
ed and surprised the foreign OBJ
servers.
The last stage as the supplies pass
to the troops at the front Is where |
the automatic train reaches the rail
head of the division. Each Amer /
lean division has its fixed railhead
or terminal, where the train deliv-
ers its daily quota, This is as near
the troops in the field as fighting con-
1itions will permit But in many
cases it is not possible to bring the
railhead close to the front
so that in these cases camion transit
Ills the gap between the railhead
and the actual line.
A railhead officer is in charge at
hese points, reporting back nightly
o headquarters here as to the
trength OF men and animals in the
livision, and its varying needs oc-
asioned by active fighting or
,eriods Of reposc. Thus each division
ailhead becomes a regulating sta
ion for the needs OF that fighting
init, while all OF them are linked
ack here to this huge central regu-
lting station where the steady lines
# supplies are kept moving for
ward.

In the death of Congressman
Jacob +. Meeker of Missouri the
anti-Prohibitionists and the anti-wo-
men suffragists lose their ablest and
most eloquent advocate in the west.
Meeker had served two terms in the
house OF representatives having
been elected as successor to Rich
ard Bartholdt. He was renominated
at the August primaries. His sue
cessor on the Republican ballot will
be named by the Republican CON
gressional committee of the Tenth
district, The Tenth has always been
known as a sure Republican dis
trict. The Democratic candidate this
year, Harlan i. Read, however, has
been making more active campaign
than ever before was made by a
Democrat in the district and is re-
ported to be making considerable
progress. In 1910 Meeker carried
the district by plurality OF 1892.
