Pershing and Staff
Receive Armistice
NelUs at Headquarters

AMERICAN MAIN HEADQUAR-
TIERS IN FRANCE, Monday, Nov. II.
Thy the Associated Press.)-The
scenes enacted In this little French
city when the armistice terms were
published were typical of every town
and village in France, but were given
unique significance because of the long
residence here of Gen. Pershing and
his staff
When the news was received allied
flags were flung out from many win
dows, adding touch of color to the
narrow and tortuous streets. Citizens
OF nearby villages and farmers crowd
ed into the public squares to celebrate,
and the American headquarters band
gave a concert The church bells were
rung for hours.
Gen. Pershing was in his office when
he received the news, which spread
quickly throughout the many buildings
housing the staff. There was no de-
monstration beyond quiet, individual
rejoicing. The work of the brain Gen.
ter of the American army is going
ahead steadily and uninterruptedly.

PREPARING BOX
LUNCHEONS
Ru NINA ". SHORT.

When the menu for the box lunch
con has ben determined, the next con-
sideration is the preparation of food
Poorly cooked food has no place in
the model luncheon box. Here is an
excellent opportunity for the use of
coed left-overs; which, though appa-
rently unattrac tive, with a little skill
may be made very appetizing.
b Dried ends of meat, ground and
mixed with salad dressing or cream,
constitute delicious sandwich filling.
A slightly dry piece of cake split and
spread with jelly will satisfy the most
critical appetite.
A few suggestions regarding the
preparation of some typical foods for
luncheons may serve to indicate the
care necessary In preparations of all
types:
Sandwich Making.
The bread should be cut evenly.
The thickness OF the slice should
depend on the vigor and appetite Of
the consumer.
Butter should be softened by cream
ing it and should be spread evenly
over the entire surface of the slice Of
bread. This method is easier and
quicker than spreading the bread with
iuihPo VI uAoOiIthNu DuStCA "liiSh oio
figure the sandwich. The thickness
of the layers of butter filling should
depend on the thickness of the slices
OF bread. Both slices of bread should
be battered since butter keeps the
bread moist and prevents the filling
from soaking into the bread.
A sandwich should be wrapped in
waxed paper in order to prevent 1t
from drying out and to prevent the alb
sorption of flavors from other parts
OF the luncheon.
Moist Foods.
Foods that are likely to dry out,
to become disfigured by pressure, to
absorb other favors, or to distribute
their own flavor such as cake, cookies,
pieces of meat, cheese, or eggs with
out their shell should be separated
from other foods by wrapping them
in wax paper. if that is not available,
in plain, clean paper.
Preserves, sauces, and the like
should be put in small, clean sealed !
containers. Although many persons
know how to prepare package meals, |
a large numbers Of others do not If
each person would by careful thought |
and practice improve the luncheons
over which she has supervision, the |
words box luncheon" might come to

The Daily Ardmoreite. [volume] (Ardmore, Okla.) 1893-current, 1918-07-28

1t was topic of talk in two hemis.
pheres. Undoubtedly it promoted
the pursuit of spiritualism, and was
the most pretentious document that
this faith has produced. For time
the cult had real vogue. Now
however, one has to search to find
evidence of its existence in London
have had real difficulty in estab-
fishing any contacts with it. No
body knows anybody who is now a
spiritualist. outside of few literary
folk, like Sir Arthur Conan Doyle.
Spiritualistic seances are not an
nounced publicly. 1t is easier to
find spiritualistic gathering in
Boston, Philadelphia or Chicago
than in London. One of London s
leading booksellers summed up for
me the general opinion on the ques-
ton when he said Nobody is in
terested in the subject. Raymond
went like rocket but it has come
down like stick. There is no sale
for it now Whatever else Great
Britain may do in religious way
she is surely not going after spirit
ualism. There is something in the
British nature that demands more
than spirit-rappings as nurture for
the soul.
Theosophy and Politics.
Pretentious claims have been made
for the growth of theosophy in the
new war era. 1t is not the Califor-
MIA, but the Indian, branch of the or
ganization that is to be found in
Great Britain, with Mrs. Annie
Besant at the head. Yeats, the
poet, is reputed to be theosophist,
and there are many local centers of
the cult throughout the land, and an
organized propaganda. The skeleton
or outline of a great national move
ment is easily found.
After seeking light at theosophical
headquarters, and attending the
principal meeting center, ! was
forced to conclude that this, too, is
a negligible phase OF the countrys
religious interests. 1t is an eddy,
not a current. The rock that turns it
is the hard-headed British character,
which lacks the fancifu imagination
and easy credulity that give theoso-
ply and its allied native religions
the vogue in India. The nation is
more interested in the war than in
its "karma'. John Bull cares more
about the rationing scheme than
about the color of his aura.
Psychical emanations mean less to
him than physical force, expressed
in Flanders.
The earnest souls whom | found
pursuing theosophy were, of course,
mostly women, and not the type Of
women who are manning the
or filling the ranks OF the
'Waacs' and the Land Army.

THE RELIGIOUS RAMBLER
.By WILLIAM 7. ELLIS.

London July 25.-Alarmst church
people feared, for time, that Great
Britain in her grief over wars dead
would turn after strange faiths, as
spiritualism, theosophy and other
rults of the Orient. Religious pub
locations and popular reviews had
great deal to say, in the first two
years of the war-and especially
during the second year--pancky,
as they pictured the people going
mad after spookism.
Unquestionably. in the bewilder-
ment of grief which succeeded the
