Soldiers Say Instructors Fail Keep Up With the War

one day. They were supposed to be
advancing on trenches under myth
ical barrage. When they got near enough
they threw bombs into the trenches
and the flanks we're protected by auto
matte rifle men and rifle grenadicrs.
The first trench was Taft. Then came
Roosevelt and then Wilson and the at
tackers took all three. A jocosc briga-
dier remarked that communication be-
tween Roosevelt and Taft was proba-
bly, difficult, but that is beside the
point. AT the end of the problem or
sham battle there was critque. And
General Pershing said to the ma or Of
the battalion: "I was sorry not to see
your men firing their rifles as they
advanced on those trenches We must
remember that the rifle is our chief
weapon. because it is the American
weapon The bomb and the rife gren-
AIDES arc merely auxiliarics."
French Not in Agreement
I appealed later to. some French off,
GERS, and they were polite. but they
hunted that they were not in agreement
with the American general. "rhere
isn't anything to fire rife at when
TNN iS oNN dilNiIiS against tIcUCIs
said one Of them. After all, there are
good reasons why we should train
American soldiers to shoot we'll. The
British say that there is tendency to
neglect the rife. An instructor at the
biggest British training school told me
that at one time the bomb became so
popular that British soldiers in trenches
would practically refrain from rifle fire
in order to bomb Germans who were
advancing, and he said there was a
we'll authenticated story of Tommy
who dropped his rifle and, picking up
handful of bombs, started out in pur-
suit of fleeing Germans. SO it is we'll
to pay more attention to rifle fire, but
not even American craftsmanship can
make it overcome certain limitations
which have been placed on it by trench
warfare. There is, I think, tendency
in our army t6 put theories before
facts.

Commends Crew
OF Lost Destroyer
Commander Bagley Tells of
Bravery of Officers and Men
Of the Jacob Jones

WASHINGTON, Jan. 11.-Secretary
Daniels made public to-day a summary
of the official report of Lieutenant
Commander David ". Bagley on the
sinking by a German submarine of the
American destroyer Jacob Jones on
December 6, when two officers and
sixty-four men lost their lives. Com
mander Bagley gives unstinted praise
to the behavior of officers and men, and
especially commends by name ten of
them.
The submarine, the report says, was
not sighted until after fifteen minutes
after the destroyer had gone down. But
the torpedo was sighted half mile
from the ship, and Lieutenant S. r,
Kalk, officer Of the deck. who after
ward died from exposure, Immediately
ordered a manmuvre to avoid being
struck. The torpedo, however, was too
near to allow the destroyer to clear it.,
and it struck fairly, with a heavy cx-
ploson. The ship settled quickly by

the stern and the engine room was
soon flooded. The radio antennm and
mainmast were carried away.
Most of the men not killed by the
explosion got clear of the ship and
reached RATS or wreckage. Eight min
utes after the torpedo struck at 4:21
p. III. the Jones sank. stern first. Eff
forts were made to collect the survivors
in a motor dory, and then the nearest
land was headed for to secure aid to
the remaining survivors on the RATS.
After twentythree hours the dory
sighted patrol vessel and the com.
mander of the patrol station reported
to Commander Bagley that the other
survivors all had been rescued.
Seaman Philip j. Burger, Of Lansing
burg, N Y. is highly praised in the
report for his efforts to clear the YES
sells motor sailer, which would have
saved twenty or thirty lives. He stuck
to the job until drawn under water
with the boat, being rescued himself
later when he came to the surface.

BOnners Ferry
Idaho

is the county seat of Boundary county
and is located on two transcontinenal
railways, the Great Northern and Spo-
kane International. Boomers Ferry is
the head of navigation on the Koote-
mai river. 1t is the terminal of the
Kootenai Valley railway, which runs
to Foothill, close to the Canadian boun-
dairy line.
Boomers Ferry has three fine, mod
ern school buildings and an efficient
corps of teachers. Seven religious de-
nominations are represented and near
ly all of the best lodges have organi-
cations. The city is well supplied with
all kinds of business houses which car
ry large stocks of merchandise.
The citizens of Boundary county
and Boners Ferry are energetic and
wide-awake and are willing and anx-
ious to encourage the coming of new
settlers in the county.
The Kootenai Valley Commercial
Club is a live organization and if any
reader of the Herald desires full par
ticulars concerning the town or coun-
ty, write A. J. Kent, secretary of the
commercial club.

Boundary County
Idaho

is the extreme northern county of
Idaho. It's principal resources are ag-
riculture, dairying and stock raising,
timber. The county includes
a large portion of the Kootenai Val
ley, the most fertile district of the
world. Cutover lands may be pur-
chased on long time contracts at from
$40 to $25 per acre. Bottom and mead
ow lands sell for from 50 to $50 per
acre. There are many hundreds of
acres of agricultural land in Boundary
county which will make fine homes for
the energetic farmer. Millions of feet
of timber remain uncut and the rivers
and creeks may be easily harnessed to
give thousands of horsepower. Raw
material in quantities to last 100 years,
for paper pulp, may be found in the
county and this timber is easy of ac.
cess. The mining industry is yet in
its infancy. Sufficient capital would
put only. one of a dozen mines on a
dividend-paying basis. The climate is
ideal, the rainfall all that is needed
No irrigation in this district. Good
roads, good schools. Plenty of trans
portation facilities.

Soldiers Chance of Living

The Military Hospitals Commits
sion at Quebec, addressing Cana
dian mothers and fathers, says:
Your boy has 20 chances of COM
ing home to one chance of being
killed, SO chances of recovering
from a wound to two chances of
dying, only one chance in 500 of
losing a limb, will live five years
longer because of physical train
ing, is freer from disease in the
army than in civil life, has better
medical care at the front than at
home.
In other wars from 10 to Is men
died from disease to one from bull
lets.
In this war one man dies from
disease to every 10 from bullets.
This war is less wasteful of life
than any other in history.
Only 10 per cent of all Cana
dams disabled for further service
have been physically unable to en-
gage in their former occupations.
If your boy is one of the 10 per
cent, the government will re-edu-
cate him in another vocation al
which he can earn a living.
This doesn't mean that war is
danger-free occupation and that
life in the trenches is as comforta-
bic as in the easy chair at home,
but it does make it appear less
tearsome than it has been painted
over here, especially by pro-Ger-
man socialists, disloyal pacifists
and German-bOrn traitors in A.

simple, but when neglected are
sure to result in poor quality or
the entire loss of the meat. The
various processes are discussed in
bulletin II, of the University of
Florida extension division. The
bulletin is sent free to all who ask
for it.
1t is of greatest Importance that
the meat be thoroughly chilled be-
fore attempting to cure it. To do
this successfully killing should be
done in a period of cold weather,
or ice must be used. 1t is safer to
have the ice at hand ready for use
if needed.
Meat may be cured in brine,
known as picking, or it may be
dry cured. In the former method,
a brine made as follows is recon-
mended: Salt, s pounds; saltpeter,
2 ounces; sugar, 3 pounds, or cane
syrup, 3 pints; and 4 gallons of
water. Pour this brine over the
meat after it has been trimmed,
cooled, and snugly packed in clean
barrels or boxes.
1t is important that every part
of the meat be well covered by the
solution. A ten-pound ham should
stand in the brine about forty
days, and fifteen-pound ham six
| ty days. The brine should be ex-
amined every week as there is al
ways some possibility Of it's sour
ing and spelling the meat. If the
brine becomes sour, remove all of
it, wash the meat and the con-
tainer, and pour a freshly made So
luton over the meat.
The dry curing method is de-
scribed as follows: After the meat
has been thoroughly cooled, place
each piece on a clean, bleached
muslin cloth about a yard square,
or an opened flour sack, after COW
ering the cloth with newspapers
Place the ham or shoulder skin.

all in a vessel and mix thoroughly
Rub this mixture into the meat un.
til every part has absorbed all il
will, doing the work thoroughly
After this application, fold the
cloth entirely around the meat, be

most vital factor in present day lighting methods
The success of American arms in this war VIII de-

Florida must necessarily play an important part
in supplying castor oil for airplane fabrication, as
this State is one of the few localities where cond-
lions both to soil and climate suitable Tor the
successful cultivation of castor beans. To supply
your government with its necessary quota of castor
oil it will require the immediate planting of thous-

render real service by planting castor beans.
