Pactfsts Traitors and Patriots.

10 the EditoR of Ihe StAfs
In the issue Of your paper Of April s
there 10 . definition Of "Real Traitors
and Real Patr1ots," by Henry oldys,
that falls far short of a lust one. II
seems to me.
He defines an allen enemy" as one
who. while residing IN an enemy coun-
try, may commit acts Of Legitimate
warfare, such as destroying munitions
and supplies" and be regarded as an
enemy, and 80 dealt with IL captured,
but without odium."
Now, this definition, would say. Is
faulty because the "alien enemy" cap
tured doing such things, as charged
above, or attempting. or purposing, to
do them, should be treated As a spy,
and hanged or shot on short notice: Tor
in the enemy (soldier) uniform, and,
therefore, not entitled to the considera-
tion usua1ly accorded the wearer OF
the uniform.
So that. T. an ~alfen enemy fails To
announce himself. at the outbreak Of
hostflities, as an enemy alien. he enters
at once into the spy class, and should be
dealt with accordingly. II, however, he
frankly acknowledges himself as an
allen enemy" he should be interned
during the war. and maintained at his
own or his country's expense out of
any tangible property found.
In times OF war ther0 can be only
three classes OF citixens-namely. one
the pacidsts. another the traitors and
the third the patriots. AZ to the "pao-
ifsts," or those too good or too con-
scientious to light FOR their ''hearths
and firesides" at their country's call,
they should be forever disfranchised
and fnterned at their own expense dur
ing the war. In times Of great public
| stress. as at present, free speech and
public assembly ana discussion may be
| put under ban temporarily, and it be-
comes ali loyal citizens to support the
powers that be-. fully and whole
| heartedly, and should lay aside ali Carp
ing criticism and partisanship. Let the
sentiment Of the country be zone and
inseparable," ana let 1t prevail inside
| the halls Of Congress, an we'll as OUT
side. Let us win the war first, and then.
when 1t ID over, maybe we won't want
to play" politics at all. We can safely
trust our high ofncials to do their
full duty-evon their very best for the
good OF the whole country, and not only
because they want to do It, but also be-
cause It Is to their highest interest to
do It
It is said that in tho war Of 1s1a-1s.

resentative Martin B. Madden Of Hi

question and endeavored to show the
citizens that they have one OF the best

Mr.. Madden's address failed to wipe
out the Impressions left by the preced-

instructed that certain men whom he
wished to have attached to his courl

them a well-nourished look. One OF
these men, named Daniel, persuaded
his caterer that himself and friends

CAMP CUSTER COOKING CHIEF
TO MOTHERS OF CUSTER BOYS
(By 1t. John B. Snider, Assistant to
Capt. Dunno of School for Bakers
and Cooks.)

II you have boy in Custer you may
rest assured he is receiving plenty of
good wholesome food-food that Is
curing his indigestion and indisposi.
tions is the only kind he is given. II
would be better for the health of the
whole nation If everyone would try a
balanced diet and stick to 1t for the
period of the war rather than eat indis-
criminately and perhaps suffer from
unnecessary indigestion the greater part
of the time This article, I am told,
is written with purpose Of showing
Michigan people who have never had
the opportunity to eat meal in an
army mess how the matter of conserv-
ing food is being practiced here and
to urge upon all of you, who want to
help our men and Allies come out OF
this world war victorious, to conserve
all Of the wheat, fats, sugar and other
food, which saving program is vital,
in order to defeat the Kaiser and his
U-boats. You may rest assured that
any and all you are able to save will
not be wasted after 1t comes into the
hands of the army cooks for there are
perhaps no cooks in the land as care,
full to see that every ounce of wheat,
fats, ETC., is eaten and not one bit Of it
goes into the garbage can. Rather
that 1t all goes to create one of the
best armies that the world has ever
seen as we all believe the American
Army will be when 1t gets "over
there" to do it's bit toward making
the world free for Democracy.

subjects before they are placed in
charge of the work. The purpose and
scope of the work done by this school
are the making of expert cooks and
mess sergeants, many OF whom have
never had any previous experience
along this line. Men when they enter
the school are impressed with three
things, nothing is to be wasted, clean
illness is absolutely insisted upon, and
the food must be cooked properly with
a view to it's being eaten with salts
faction by the men. The method Of
cooking without waste for such a large
number of men is very simple when
understood. Every man Is cautioned
against taking more on his plate than
he can eat. There is a plenty for
all but none to waste" could be adopt
ed as the official slogan of the army
cooks. A sergeant is stationed in the
mess hall to prevent the practice Of
taking excessive portions and leaving
a part of the food untouched on the
plate. All that is left on the serving
plates is utilized In some other dish.
A good example of how this surplus is
handled is shown in the use OF left
over potatoes. For example mashed
potatoes are served for dinner and fif-
teen pounds of the potatoes are not
eaten. That night the menu will per-
haps have potato cakes or baked po-
tatoes with the leftover potatoes pala-

Economy Practiced to Last Degree.
Economy in the use of food-stuffs in
the kitchen is practiced to the last de-
gree. When quarter of beef Is de-
livered to the kitchen II is Immediately
cut up, the bones and all fat removed
The bones are broken into small pieces
and boiled thus conserving all of the
nutritious elements of the bones such
as the fat contained in the marrow and
the gelatin in the tendons and bones.
This stock is used as a base for soups.
All the fat is cut into very small
pieces and put on the stove rendering
all of the fat from the solids. In this
way saving is made on the lard COM
ponent of the ration as well as the
money saving IL the same lard had to
be bought. Perhaps the fat thus cut
from one quarter of beef will be sufi-
Client fof frying two or three meals
Of croquettes, in which left oyer pota-
toes and meat are used, or the same
number Of meals Of French fried pota-
toes, which by the way is one of the
most popular dishes in the army. THE
same practice Of rendering all fat
from beef, pork, mutton, ETC., can be
practiced in the average home just as
well as in the army Kitchen" said
Lieut. John b. Snider, who was in
charge in the absence OF Capt. Dunno,
that officer being in Washington on of.
fetal business at the time of the in
spection. "Of course the quantities
will not be as great. For example,"
he continued, when you have a steak

meat and render II and use only what
is necessary for frying the meat you
