these boys will unquestionably be true
to that slogan.
Chalk and War Bread.
Chalk, as an assistance to the war
break maker, would bring about a
prosecution in Denver; but in Paris,
where the scientific brain is unpreju-
diced, a calcium mixture has many adj
vocates. Frances war bread is de-
clared to be salty, which leads to
waste in assimilation, and, therefore,
to increased consumption-as well as
to increase of the equity. 1t is recon-
mended that the right thing to do is
to use unsalted bread, as the wise peo-
pie of Tuscany do. But you need lime,
and you can get it by using prepared
chalk mixed with water. The dough

a Every appetizing SMELL" such is the
verdict Of one Of our correspondents
who has made and eaten it.
A Million More Men.
Mr.. Winston Churchill has made
this notable statement to the Ameri-
can delegation in London:
I'VE have been able under the pres
sure of this hard-fought battle to
draw from this country hundreds of
thousands Of men whom it would have
been difficult to obtain legislative
power to summon except under this
pressure. Far more men than have
been lost in the battle have been called
to the colors by the battle.
ut is the same with you. It is the
same with the French and it was ex-
actly the same with the offensive in
Italy. By their attack the Germans
have called into the field against them
in this campaign alone probably more
than a million soldiers additional to
those who would otherwise have been
there"
Shells That Garry Messages.
Projectiles are 10 being used for
the transmission of urgent orders to
troops in the front line trenches and
also for sending important informa-
ton to the rear in France. This new
scheme of communication was adopted
because of the destruction of tele-
phone wires and laying down of our
curtains of fire through which dis
patch bearers could not ride.
The officers in the front line
trenches frequently come into possess
sion Of cafuable information which
should be rushed to headquarters.
Barrage fire, however, frequently sep
arates the men in the trenches from
posts in the rear. It frequently hap
pened also that the commanding Off
Ger at headquarters wanted to COM
municate with officers in the trenches,
but was unable to do so because no
human being could live in the barrage
fire, and telephone wires were out Of
commission.
The new system of communication
consists of shooting a p~rojectile from
a trench motar. A bog containing
written information or new orders is
placed in a cylinder about fifteen
inches in length and an inch and a
quarter in diameter. The cylinder and

thrower, which launches it like an
aerial torpedo and speeds it to head
quarters OF from headquarters to the
front line trenches.
Training the Physically Unfit.
A specia! course of training for men
reported physically unfit for unlim-
tied military service is to be insti-
tuted at Camp Funston. A section of
the depot brigade is set aside for this
work of physical correction and build
ing up and all incapacitated men will
be Immediately transferred into it.
While they will be formed into COM
panies and battalions as in regular
organizations, the training will be
largely laid out to meet individual
cases, especially selected officers be-
ing detailed in command and the men
receiving the kind and the amount of
drill advised by the brigade surgeon.
The training officers are being Sc
lected with especial consideration to
their qualifications as instructors in
physical exercise and sports, as we'll
as for their sympathy and interest in
the work.
Every man will be examined from
time to time, his improvement noted,
work laid out to meet his change Of
condition, and when he is again found
fit for full duty he will be returned to
his regular organization.
Though we lose hundreds of thous-
ands of our young lei in this war, the
physical standard of the nation will be
improved twenty-five per cent by the
training and physical supervision
Uncle Sam is giving to his soldiers.

COMPANIES TO
Be TAKEN IN MERGER
Great Northern Company May
be Joined with Larger Con-
Germs of Country.

That the Great Northern Express
company which serves the people of
this section Of the country may be
taken over by the larger companies
Of the nation is the information re.
ceived in local railroad circles.
1t is announced that negotiations
are under way between Director Gen.
eral McAdoo and four small express
companies-Northern, Great Northern,
Western and Canadian-looking to
their participation in a merger which
already has been arranged tentatively
for the Adams, WellsFargo, Ameri-
can and Southern companies.
It was reported that all the COM
panies probably would come in and
that the combination, with George
Taylor of the American company as
president would be approved by the d.
rector general as the express carrying
agency of the railroads.
Under the plan now before MI. Nc
Adoo, including only the four leading
companies, the capitalization of the
combination would be $33 900 900 in
stead of $35, OOO, 900 as formerly ar
ranged, with 10000, 900 of this repre-
senting physical valuation of property,
and the balance cash. Property Of the
would be appraised anew
and profits distributed accordingly.
The railroads would receive sou
per cent of the gross transportation
and in addition one-half of
any excess above s per cent of the cor
poration's net earnings, based on the
O0O, 900 capitalization. The rail-
roads share would be about $11O, O00,-
600 if receipts are equal to last years.
The tentative agreement now under
consideration provides that railroads
shall pay the entire wages of station
agents who also act as express agents
and that the commissions which the
now pay these men shall go
to the railroads. 1t is understood the
wages are to be increased.

The German military writer. Karl
blel6treu, gives in Neue Europe a
statistical return of German losses
from August 2, 1914, to July 81, 1917,
the figures, dealing exclusively with
those killed in the fighting, and
prisoners.
ne gives an aggregate from August
z, 1914, to July 81, 1917, of 1904, 1851
on the western front and a total dur
ing that same period of 1,484, $50 on
the eastern front.
For the two fronts combined the
aggregate is thus 4,O89,511.
FROM August l, 1917, to January 81,
1918, Bleibtreu estimates the total
German losses on both fronts at 367..
45o, making in all 1885, 1851 men.
Adding those who died from illness
or wounds, the losses resulting from
the colonial and maritime fighting, as
well as in non-combatant and auxil-
larry services not comprised in the pre-
cealng enumeration, the grand total,
PRIOR to the present great offensive,
must considerably have exceeded
5000 ,O00 men. The figures today must
be creeping well on towards 5000, 900.
Our Colored Soldiers.
In presenting q stand Of colors To
the seth regiment, colored, Governor
Charles s. Whitman Of New York
said:
"On. behalf Of the Union League
club, I commit to your keeping the
most sacred trust ever committed to
man-.the flag of the United States of
America. I charge you by all that
is sacred to defend this banner with
all the strength and power that God
has given you; but in doing so I feel
and know already that you will never
permit it to be dishonored, to shame
yourselves or shame those who have
given it to you today. Your country
will trust you to be true to yourselves.
true to the land Of your birth, true to
the record of those other soldiers of
your race whose valorous deeds have
brought glory to these Stars and
Stripes"
Col. James Moss, commanding the
regiment, responded as follows:
THAT the colored men of this COM
mand will protect and honor this flag
is something that goes without saying,
and let me say to you today that when
this war is all over there is going to
be another presentation of colors here
beside the clubhouse. Mark you we'll
what / say to you in this presence
today, for I am an officer with eight
cen years experience with colored SOL
diers, having commanded them in two
campaigns: These men are going to
present you men in the Union League
club with colors on their return from
France. The colors they will present
you we want you to hang upon your
walls, where they can tell with silent
eloquence in all the years to come a
story of valor and unutterable patriot
ism to which all Americans, including
u 10000, 900 of black citizens, can
listen with a thrill Of pride and salts
faction"
