The Housewife Who Knows

The housekeeper who is wise does
not hesitate to serve Benefit Brand
Sweet Nut to her most fast1dious
guests in place of dairy butter. First,
because it is not a substitute but a
table luxury which rests on it's own
merits Made from the fresh, crispy
white meat of the cocoanut combined
by new process with pasteurized
milk and without a particle Of animal
fat in its compositions it has the abso-
Lutte purity which only Natures purest
ingredients can impart. It cannot be
distinguished when served, from de-
lictous butter, and has the Identical
butter flavor which always pleases.
Best of all. it saves about so per cent.
on your butter expense-only SIC a

ing Co.'S yellow front store, PIT Main

where Benefit Brand Teas, Coffees and

LIFE OF
GENERAL
PERSHING.
CHAPTER XIV.
(Continued)


Copyright 1913, by William FoX}
HARDLY had Pershing's little army
4 i crossed the border when Prest-
dent Wilson sent out a call for the
mobilization of the National Guard
throughout the country. In a very
short time these troops were on their
way to Texas to undergo preliminary
training.
They had been called for the posi-
BILE development of serious trouble
with Mexico; and such was the fame
of General Pershing that every Ma
tional Guard regiment would gladly
have followed him into hotter re-
gions than Mexico.
The raising and training of this
army should have taught Germany
that it was possible for the United
States to raise and train an effective
army in an emergency, but the lesson
was evidently wasted.
The unrestricted submarine cam
paign had been definitely decided
upon and a curt warning was given
to America. President Wilson replied
that he would take measures to pro-
tect American ships, and diplomatic
relations with Germany were severed.
General Pershing had been recalled
from Mexico on Jan. %, 1917. 1t is
true that the primary purpose of the
expedition had not been accom-
plished. Villa had not been captured;
but, with no followers he was pow
erless to injure America. Pershlng
had dissipated the Villa command
and any search for him personally
would have been like searching
haystack for a needle. The ultimate
A o,-y,1x- in a
leo had been accomplished. Order
had been restored on the border, An
American citizen could travel III
northern Mexico and feel reasonably
certain that he, not only would reach
his destination but would be able to
return home. More important still,
an American could live near the Dor
der without fear that his family
would be murdered by bandits at any
moment.
Pershing had taught Mexico that
America was to be respected and the
rights of American citizens guarded
It was with the satisfaction of hay
ing accomplished these results that
he left Mexico.
General Pershing always had been
an advocate of universal military
training as q means Of national pro-
lection. He foresaw that the UNITED
States would eventually be enmeshed
in the world war At various times
he had both written and voiced his
views on this subject.
After diplomatic relations with
Germany were broken it became a
matter merely Of weeks or months
before there would be a declaration
OF war
The general staff of the army and
all officers Of high command were
New Britain herald. [microfilm reel] (New Britain, Conn.) 1890-1976, 1918-10-21

consulted about the method of raising
and training an army that would be
large enough and sufficiently well
trained to be able to cope with the
great war machine Of Germany.
General Pcrshing was in favor o.
resorting to a draft as the only fair
way to create an effective army in q
reasonably short time. This was aC
near to universal service as was prac-
ticable.
Accordingly a general Registrations
was ordered and all the young men of
the country who were physically
sound and had no dependents were
indicted into the army Of the United
States.

A banker who. for the first time "
his life, has come into intimate con
tact with poverty-stricken folk. says:
"The average man wants only half a
chance to be honest. This is a thing
worth learning. But II did not require
visits 10 the Sums 10 find 1t out. A
little thought would have served rs
well. The maS q People Is consti-
tuted Of average men. The mass has
the power TO do whatever II wills to
do. II could. II II wished. rise In the
night and strip the rich bare. and
since II is the mass that represents
the majority will, II could. so far as
law Is concerned, go unpublished. But
the average man is honest. The mass
wants nothing Of bloodshed and rob
berry. Those who possess are safe
from those who have nothing. Our
banker friend who visited Poverty Row
used his eyes. His remark shows that
for most Of his years, he hadn't, on
this particular subject, used his brains.

The American expeditionary force
wishes to discourage the budding
practice Of American women in
adopting individual soldiers in
France for the period Of the war. "
The practice already threatens to
choke the congested mail service and
result in delay in the transmission Of
important matter. Moreover. the
censorship regulations forbid the men
to correspond with strangers, and as
this rule is being enforced rigidly, II
is desired that the people OF home re-

fatalities was gross and inexcusa
