FOOD RATION TO BE CARRIED IN
GAS-PROOF CONTAINER

The Quartermaster's Department is
now supplying gas-prOOf food contain
erS to the soldiers in the zone of opera
lions in France. These containers
prevent seepage of gas into the con-
tainers and guard against cOntamina-
tiOn of the food. The men carry their
emergency rations in the containers
and all food brought up to the trenches
is carried in the new tins.
After the food is packed in the con-
tanners they are Theoretically sealed
1t is planned to use paraffine for seal
ing as it settles in the creviceS in such
a way that it must be cut before the
lids can be taken Off 1t can be applied
by running the containers through
paraffine bath.
Because the supply of tin is limited
and there may not be enough to supply
the needs of the Army the Quartermas-
ter's Department is experimenting
with the wax paper box. Tests made
show that these boxes meet all condi-
lions satisfactorily. The tins and
boxes both are vermin and water
proof.

INSOLENCE OF OFFICE

Men who continue to travel despite
the increase in the cost of railroad
tickets report that there has been a
marked letting down in the courtesy
which conductors and trainmen show
toward passengers since the govern
ment took over the direction of the
railroads. One travelling man says
that conductors and trainmen now be-
have toward passengers the way
customs inspectors used to be said to
behave toward returning tourists from
Europe. This, of course, is neces-
sary accompaniment of government
ownership. 1t is to be found every
where that government ownership has
been tried and it reaches its height on
the government owned railroads of
Germany.

MONEY INSTEAD OF MERCHAN-
Disc SHOULD BE SENT TO
SOLDIERS

The original order that the approval
of a regimental or higher commander
was necessary before packages might
be sent to members of the expeditions
airy forces has been modified so Off
GERS with the rank of major and high
er may approve shipments. The ap-
prevail of company commander is not
sufficient.
The question of the shipment of
parcels to France first came to the at
tention of the War Department when
the commanding general of the eXpe-
dictionary forces cabled that conges-
:on of such articles had reached such
/ point that French railroads were I'M
lble to handle the load. A board APP
9ointed by the Secretary of War and
lie Postmaster General examined
5000 sacks of parcel-pOst mail, and
found that the articles being sent not
only, in the main, were absolutely I'M
necessary, but undesirable. The inves-
tigation showed that the amount of
such mail had reached total of $780,
600 pounds a week, and was steadily
increasing.
Relatives and friends, according to a
recent statement by the War Depart
ment, will find they often can do a
greater service to soldiers by sending
them money for the purchase of arti-
cles. Tobacco is now being supplied as
part of the Army ratiOns, and mer-
chandise of nearly all kinds may now
be purchased in France through the
huge general store established by the
Quartermaster Corps at lower prices
than charged by retailers here.

JUDGE sHELDON's PLATFORM


In this country today there is for
every individual and for every political
party but one supreme duty, and that
is to win the war. / believe that a
permanent and lasting peace depends
upon a complete victory for the allied
armies.
To win the war it is advisable to
mobilize the entire effective man
power and the whole industrial re-
sources of the country. l favor an
amendment to the CONSUMPTION act SO
that it will include all available men
between the ages of twenty-one and
fifty and l believe that the work or
fight regulation should be extended
to the limit.
/ favor immediate action on PreSi-
dent Wilson's recommendation for a re-
vision of the revenue laws, and | be-
lieve that there should be absorbed by
taxation for war purposes as large a
proportion of excess profits as is taken
by our ally Great Britain.
| favor the suspension of all non
essential industries during the war in
order that our entire energies may be
devoted to war purposes. I refer by
mon essential industries particularly
to the liquor traffic and would vote,
if elected to congress- to forbid the use
of f0odstuffs for the manufacture of
intOXicants during the war.
/ favor giving to women the right to
vote by Federal enactment.
/ believe that commission should
be appointed at once to formulate and
recommend to Congress an after war
industrial program.
This is no time for partisanship or
factiOnalism If elected to Congress |
shall support President Wilson in the
same measure as if he were the leader
of my own party, and will use my ut
most endeavOrs to retain for Congress
the place it was designated to occupy
by the Constitution.
| believe in looking forward and
not backward that changing c0ndi-
lions should be anticipated and met
intelligently; and that the govern
ment should be kept close to the peo-
pie. It

BOUNTIFUL XMAS
FOR SOLDIERS
Citizcnx Wed With Each Other in
Entertaining the Khaki
Clad Men.

Because soldier or sailor, whose
home was not in this CITY, was compelled
10 spend Christmas in Wilmington, was
no reason that he couldn't have had a
Christmas dinner yesterday, and with
heaps Of good cheer thrown in. Because
the doors of many Wilmington homes
were thrown open TO those lads in uniform
who were unfortunate enough to be un-
able TO get home during Christmas and
who stayed in this city.
Throughout the morning, numerous
persons made it their business to halt
every man in uniform on the street, and
inquire if he had arranged for his Christ
ms dinner And those who had not were
speedily cared for
One resident OF West Twentieth street,
sought for nearly an hour yesterday
morning, in an cndeavor to find two men
in the service to fill the chairs at the
Christmas dinner table, left vacant by
his two sons in the service, one of whom
is in France. He found one OF the desired
boys, but was compelled To carry him
home alone because he couldn' T. find another
man on the streets .uncared for.
Especially we'll cared for were those boys
stationed at the French street barracks,
who couldn't get home for the holidays.
1t is said that, although a good Christmas
dinner awaited them at the barracks mess
hall, a number of them dined in VIII
mington homes.

HEALTH OF ARMY VERY GOOD.
Illness in Dickman's Banks Fewer Than
Peace Time Average.

Coblenz, Dec. 26.-The percentage of
sickness among the occupying American
troops is unusually low. according to the
estimates of the Third Army medical
officers. The number of cases in the
eight evacuation hospitals within the
occupied area is about 1000, most of
them being influenza
Figuring the approximate number of
occupying troops as 300, 600, the sickness
amounts to less than | = per cent. In
peace time the sickness among soldiers
averages from two to three per cent.
The excellent condition OF the men is
due partly to good billets. There is Just
enough drilling to keep the soldiers in
condition, and there is no overcrowdlng
nor illness from fatigue or exposure
The Third Army has five hospitals in
Coblenz, two at Treves and one at Maven
Most of these are former German hospitals
and the equipment is modern in every
detail

FIR. .NCH RENEW PLEA
FOR AMERICAN SHIPS
Chairman Hurley Hurrying Back
to Acquaint Himself With Last
Minute Yard Conditions.

Paris. Dec. 23-Herbert G.. Hoover,
American food administrator, and Ed
ward n. Hurley. chairman of the Ameri-
can Shipping Board, called on President
Wilson by appointment late today. Mr..
Hoover's visit was In connection with
provisioning sections of Europe where
great food scarcity existed or is threaten
ed as the result of the overrunning OF the
country, by German troops, or the inahi-
itv of the inhabitants TO find labor to till
the soil
Although suggestions that relief work
in these sections he placed IN the hands of
an international committee have come
from some entente countries, the work of
supplying food probably will be retained
under one head This head it seems Ger
tain. will be Mr. Hoover, who has pre-
pared tentative plans for the extension of
the machinery he has already created for
the relief of devastated portions of Bel
gium and France.
Mr. Hurley talked with Mr.. Wilson
on shipping subjects One feature of the
problem is the application of the French
government for permission to rehahilItate
its merchant marine through the use of
great American shipbuilding plants which
were developed to meet war needs. The
French government has already reminded
Mr.. Wilson that France was compelled,
in the common interest of the entente.
to suspend the construction of merchant
ships.
Due consideration is being gwen this
claim, but IT is understood that the chair
man of the shipping hoard Is disposed to
withhold American shipbuilding facilities
from all foreign customers until the final
peace treaty is signed Mr.. Hurley in
tended to return Immediately to America,
but because these subjects probably will
soon become a matter OF negotiation
has decided TO remain in France indefinite
".
II is understood the French building
program calls for six million tons within
the next three years The French govern
ment already has placed orders for 500 900
tons in British yards and had hoped 10
place SOC, 900 tons in American yards
The aggregate after three years would be
about three times the merchant tonnage
of France previous TO the war. The in
crease is said to be due largely to changes
by which the Mediterranean ports will
become the centers of the commercial
penetration of Europe instead of the North
Sea ports.
