FEEDING THE BOYS

 Two hundred and ten thousand meals were served on a United States transport on a recent voyage. One hundred and eight varieties of food were used in making Up the menus and this ship carried three quarter million pounds-3,750 tons-of food An account of how the soldiers are fed IS given in the ships daily newspaper. The vessel has it's own journal, printed aboard, containing the news of the day received by wireless through the Navy Press. which keeps the men on the seas in touch with the events of the outside world The ships reporter. describing how the almost amending lines of khaki file by for their meals" says:
 Tn spaces no larger than a private dining room at Sherry's they come by, thousands upon thousands, and yet in such perfect order that in less than eighty minutes the last man has been served
 The khaki line seems limitless. It must seem longer than that to those in the rear But the coffee in the big pots remains hot, the steam continues to

 Flour, potatoes and beef are the big three that rule the realm below, yet there are 159.000 pounds of fresh vege- tables waiting to be absorbed. provid ing the sea doesn't get too rough.
 Outside of providing 210,OOO meals at sea the mess officer of the ship has very little to do. Very little. He is only called upon to provide. by the regulations, 1S0 different varieties of food. That's all Ever try to order ls0 different things to eat? Yet this Is the authentic list.

URGES TEACHING OF NJ MORE GERMAN IN
 ARIZONA SCHOOLS

The elimination of the study of Ger man in all schools of Arizona is recom- mended in a resolution passed by the Phoenix Chamber of Commerce at it's last meeting. The resolution follows: Whereas. a state of war now exists between the United States of America and the Imperial German government, and
 Whereas, reports of terrible cruel ties inflicted by the German armies on prisoners of war are continually re- ceived from American and other sources in every way authentic. and Whereas. such crimes are but part of a series of so-called acts of war" which have been officially authorized and sanctioned by the Imperial Ger man government, and
 Whereas, such crimes and atrocities are violations of all rules of civilized warfare and are incompatible with national dignity and integrity and only comparable to the acts of barbarians and
 Whereas. the flower of American youth is now sacrificing everything, including life itself in order that the pcrnicious ideas and methods of the German government may not spread over the world. and
 Whereas. it is absolutely inconsistent with our war activities that we en- courage or even permit instruction in German language or German subjects, and E ls
 Whereas, there is throughout the United States. a general and uniform desire that the teaching of German in schools and colleges be discontinued, Now therefore. be it resolved, by the Board of Directors of the Chamber or Commerce, Phoenix, Arizona, that the time heretofore given to the study of ihe German language in our schools and colleges can hereafter be more profitab bly, devoted to other studies, and Be 1t further resolved, that we earnestly recommend to the boards of trustees or other officials having charge of schools and colleges, the elimination of the study of the Ger man language and the study of Ger man in any form whatever

travelling together in many parts of that wild country.
 They were in the Congo when George was about three years old. He was left in charge of his sister one day, and while she was busy he wandered away. He was not missed for some time and wandered far into the forest where hunting party of the Mada- gunga tribe found him and bore him to their camp.
 The early part of his life he does not remember. The first incident clear in his mind was the great festival held by the natives when they proclaimed him their god and chief. At that time he was eight years old and the ceremony was burned deep into his memory.
 The hunters of the tribe had cap- tured some human victims for that great occasion, and the entire tribe was assembled Coached by one of the big men of the tribe the boy king passed the sentence of death upon the prison CTS After they had been put to death alligators, worshiped by the natives as water gods.' after which he was pro- claimed chief of the tribe.
 After that he says, they worshiped him three times day, bringing him all kinds of choice fruits, fitted him out with beautiful skins and gave him com mand of the fighting men of the tribe.
 It took him about two weeks to ride about his possessions. and he could. upon short notice, raise an army of about 5000 able bodied natives.
 During his reign of fifteen years, he said, thirty four white victims were sacrificed and eaten by the tribe, or fed to the alligators.
 He continued living in this manner, fighting Arabs and various tribes of natives. until he was 23 years old. His tribe was of dark brown color, but much lighter than the Hottentots Then came the turning point in his life. While his guards were dozing following a cannibal feast one day, a white man appeared and beckoned to him and he followed.
 T don't know to this day why fol- lowed him." he says. it seemed like the power of some unseen hand lead ing me back again to my own people '
 His rescuer proved to be Dr. c. w Ferguson, an English missionary and explorer. who took him 10 his home. George could not understand nor did he like the new surroundings or the clothes he was compelled to wear but Doctor Ferguson kept him under guard until he had thoroughly h. structed him in the ways of the white race to which he belonged. and taught | him to read and write. He was ther taken to Cape Town, where he was placed In college. He remained ir school for two years.
 He then accompanied Doctor Fergu. son on trip through the Holy Land later being sent to New York City where he was placed in charge of the Salvation Army. as Doctor Ferguson feared that the call of the wild would be too strong for George if he remained in the Orient.
 Washington has now lived in tn, United States for seven years. and has outgrown the old longing for the care free life of the African jungle.
