SOLDIERS LIKED WAR BREAD
sritich Flrhtida Men Found rhelr
Health improved Through Use Of
Unbo!ted Wheat IDEAL.

A little more than u century ago
when Britain had been fighting for
years against Napoleon, food became
very scarce. Following is from d book
on bread-making, written by Sylvester
Graham, in 1887:
"In order to conserve wheat as much
as possible, the British government Or
dered that the army should be supplied
with bread made from unbolted wheat
meal, !. e., simply the wheat ground
without having the bran or middlings
removed. The soldiers were at first
displeased with the bread and refused
to eat 1t, even casting it from them in
great rage, but after two or three
weeks they began to be much pleased
with 1t and preferred 1t to the fine
flour bread
"The result Of this experiment was
that not only was the wheat made to
go further, but the health of the sol
diers improved so much and so mani
festly In the course of few months
that 1t became matter of common re-
mark among themselves and of obser-
walton and surprise among the officers
and physicians Of the army. They ex-
pressed themselves with confidence
and zeal on the subject. The public
declared that the soldiers were never
so healthy and robust. The public pa
pers were for months filed with praise
Of whole-wheat bread, and 1t was reg
ularly introduced into families.
"Still, after this experiment with
such happy results and so general and
full testimony had been given in fa-
or Of the coarse-wheat bread, when
large supplies of superfine flour came
in from America, and the crops from
home became again abundant and the

SURGEONS 30 GREAT WORK
Rehabilitation Of Wounded Soldiers
Seems Little Short of Miraculous
to Civilian.

Foster Debevoise of South Orleans,
| N. j., on recent tour through France
and England, visited the armies at the
front, and speaks with enthusiasm of
their indomitable spirit and unfailing
hopefulness.
In commenting he speaks on the
work done for wounded soldiers:
"The men in English cities, of whom
] saw hundreds, without legs or arms,
or with reconstructed faces, and those
in hospitals in process of being mend
ed, all had the same words: If only
could go back again. And this
brings NE to another wonderful thing,
and that is the way the hospitals are
performing miracles. When finally,
sometimes after months and months of
treatment, the recOnstructing process
Is finished, the men are taught trades
and placed in positions so that they
are enabled to take up their lives
again with large degree of happiness.
Straps operate as muscles on artificial
legs. and arms; and I have seen such
men swing a hammer, play golf, knit,
or work at lathes. It is almost incred-
ible what is being done. Hats off to
the doctors, say!"
The United States government will
apply the same methods of recon-
struction to those Of our boys that are
disabled or crippled.-Marion Couth-
,Ouy Smith. --.

There need be no quibbling over the
Kaiser's proposal for an armistice to
negotiate('l on President Wilson'S IA
conditions of peace. All the blood,
misery and treasure exacted by the
Hun ruler from the world during his
four years of carnage and devastation
20 for naught. were any less uncom-
promising reply made to his whining
appeal, than that given Bulgaria.
Stripped, as Bulgaria has been stripped
and as Turkey and Austria will soon
be stripped of every means of offensive
warfare; thrust back on German soil,
is just what is coming to the raping
scions of the Hohenzollerns and the
Hapsburgs. That, and that only will
satisfy the civilized world today. Then
may the terms of peace be dictated,
but not negotiated. AS. result, Bel
gium, France, Russia, Serbia. Italy,
Montenegro and Roumania will have to
be evacuated, the seas swept clean Ct
submarines, and Germany will have to
stand ready to allow the adjustment Of
colonial claims with reference to the
wishes of the governed population,
abandon economic control Of Russian
territory. indemnify Belgium, restore
Asace-L Lorraine, restore Italia Ire
denta, consent to establish an indepen-
dent Polish state, see to the relinquish-
ment of Turkish control of Turkish
populations, and to the establishment
Of autonomous government for the diff
ferent nationalities of Austro-Hun-
gaiy. And If Germany says she will
do all these things her promise must
come from one, other than person
speaking for the Hohenzollerns and
the military autocracy that plunged the
world into war. This is why the Pres
ident asks Prince Maximlian for whom
he is speaking, and in reality it is the
cruX of the entire situation.

THE NoN-coM"

Long before Waterloo Europe
found that the backbone of the army
was the "rion-com" And what Wei
lington proved Kipling described.
Take any story you choose about the
British army, from Kipling's pen, and
you will see that in defeat or victory,
on march, in cantonment, in trench,
or in attack, it is the "non-com" that
makes or mars the success of the
movement. "Woe to that regiment"
said Kipling, whose sergeants are
not on the job"
T0day what Kipling told his read
ers is become the common knowledge
of the worth Two years ago not one
man in a huadred knew or cared any
thing about the duties of a sergeant.
Today 100000 families in this coun-
try have sons in the army and those
sons are either sergeants or they are
officers or privates. Around the ser
geant evolves the life OF the company,
and from the sergeants have come
some of the greatest generals.
The brilliant and Inflated Hector
Mcdonald was British sergeant he
fore he was British general. So
was General Sir William Robertson,
the British chief of staff, and so viii
be that unknown general who is now
wearing his sergeants chevrons in
America or "Over There" And Gen.
cral Pershing knows it too. He has
written clearly and decisively to say
that the American officers must be
up to his responsibility.
A German writer recently sneered
at Mr.. Bakers statement that there
were now 10000 officers in America
by saying that anybody could sew
epaulettes on . soldier, but it took
years of training to make an officer.

hearts, minds and. spirits were not in
this war, the torpedoing of the Tus-

avenging battle line has been multi
piled hundred-fold.
Many of the soldiers on the Tus-
cania. had never been to sea before,
but they kneY how to die at sea.
They behaved like brave men. There
was no panic. Above the shouting Of
orders, the kissing of steam and the
surging of the sea there rose from
the lips of the American soldiers the
inspiring strains of "The Star Span
gled Banner"-the last message from
men being ushered into the Great Be-
yond to their brother soldiers. They
knew and the world knows that the
men who follow "The Star Spangled
Banner" will exact full atonement for
the Tuscania.

Sinking of the British steamer Tus-

can troops, will prove by far the
worst days work in the whole infer
nal program of German frightfulness.
1t will be one of the greatest boom

stined to take its place as battle
slogan, just as "Remenber the

can soldiers as they go over the top
with bayonets fixed and jaws set to
make the world safe for democracy
and to avenge the deaths of their
brethren in arms on the Tuscania.
The torpedoing of the Tuscania,
reckoned as one of the fortunes Of
war, brought home to many lethargic
Americans the grim fact that this
country is at war and aroused the
whole nation. There is more deter
mination than ever to beat the Ger
man militarists to their knees. There
probably was great joy in Berlin

This illuminating remark carried
neither information nor novelty to the
American War Department. Every
act of that department. has been to
show that in this war officers will
only be appointed by merit and bold
their places by service. Every day
officers are denoted and every day
they are promoted, never in the world
was there such a chance for Ameri-
can soldiers of real ability as this war
offers.
The men of natural genius and,
above all, of unhagging application
are sure to rise from the ranks to
positions of command, and every Sen
ator and Representative in Congress
will not be able to keep his rank for
that officer, be he second lieutenant or
general, who is unable to care for his
men in camp, to lead them in the field
and to see to it that all the officers
under him discharge their duties with
intelligence and military precision.
One of the greatest single geniuses
of the Civil War was Nathan Bedford
Forrest. His record and his achieve
ments demonstrate his extraordinary
natural genius for military affairs, but
the world remembers best Grant anC
Lee, two men who cultivated their
powers with unremitting energy anc
who brought to bear on their tasks In
defatigable perseverance. The Grant
and Lee of this war have not yet been
discovered, but they will emerge, and
this much we may say of them, they
will certainly come from that body OF
men who work all the time, and If
they are not mon CONS" when they
begin they will have the highest ad-
miration for the mon CONS" when
