FEEDING MEN ON TRANSPORT

An account of how soldiers are fed at sea is
given in the daily newspaper published on a
transport
Outside of providing 10000 meals at sea, the
mess officer of the ship has very little to do.
Very little.
He is only called upon to provide, by the re-
gulations, $50 different varieties of food That's
NIL. Ever try to order $50 different things to
eat? Yet this is the authentic list
''The food needed to feed several thousand
men at sea ranges beyond the glutton's dreams
You get the answer in theship down below the
water line where 1920 loaves of bread have been
baked in one day. and where you stumble over
every variety, from 1000 pounds of beef to 1872,
600 eggs, or compartment of brick ice cream
In 1O-degree-above-zero vault.
"And if this dosent suit, you can bump along
into 49,S24 pounds of potatoes. TOO pounds of
butter, $500 pounds of sugar, and 81 500 pounds
of flour.
IF you can't get meal out of this YOU can
still fall back on 1900 pounds of sausage. 3.4OO
pounds of sauerkraut, $4,000 pounds of apples
1890 pounds of oranges, and 1920 pounds of
onions And this leaves out 1600 pounds of lam
and 9,40o pounds of lima and navy beans.'

right to grasp it as drowning man-and will

MEAT REJECTED
BY GOVERNMENT:
UNFIT FOR USE
Wilson & Company, of Chicago, Try
to Slip Something Over on
the Navy.

NEW YORK.-Testifying before
the Federal State Commission, which
is conducting an investigation of
charges that American packers have
supplied the navy with bad meat,
Captain C. S. Williams declared to-
day that hundreds of thousands of
pounds Of meat, furnished by the
firm of Wilson & Company, had
been rejected because it had been
found in bad condition. The re-
jected meat, he testified further,
was intended for consumption on
American battleships.
When the name of Wilson &
Company was mentioned recently in
connection with bad meat deals, the
Chicago packers strenuously denied
that they had been guilty of at
tempting to sell meat unfit for
human consumption.

WORKERS NEED
BEER 10 TOLL
IN SH|PYARDS
Member of Shipping Board Opposes
Dry Measure on Unusual
Grounds.

WASHINGTON, D. C.-Bain.
bridge Colby, member of the ship
ping board, appeared before the
house agricultural committee today
for the purpose of Directing to i'm
mediate and absolute national pro-
hibition, as provided by the Jones
amendment to the agricultural ap-
preparation bill, now pending be-
fore the committee.
Colby informed the members of
the committee that the enactment
of a dry law at this time would
seriously interfere with the nations
war preparations, particularly in the
shipbuilding line. He said that if
beer were to be taken from the
workmen at this time, it would re-
suit in a reduction of the output
of American shipyards fully twenty
five per cent.

TURKS INVITING
DECLARATION BY
HOSTILE ACTION
American Hospital Sacked and Con.
sulate Seized BY Ottomen In
Persian City.

WASHINGTON, D. C.-The state
department is in receipt of advices
from the American minister at Te-
heran, stating that invading Turks
have sacked American hospitals and
seized the American and British
consulates at Tabriz, Persia. The
diplomat reports that the hospital
was sacked in spite of the vigorous
protest of the Spanish consul, who
is in charge as representative of
the American interests at that place.
The Spanish flag floated over the
building.
1t is regared as probable in off
cial circles that the action of the
Turks may be regarded as an act
of war and may settle the long
pending question of whether or not
the United States should declare War
on the Ottoman empire.

GRAFT DISCLOSED
in WAR CONTRACTS

WASHINGTON, D. Chat fees
aggregating millions of dollars have
been paid by government contract
ors to commission men for war con-
tracts, has been disclosed by agents
of the department of justice, who
yesterday raided hundreds of offices
of contractors and obtained several
thousand letters and documents con-
tanning proof of the existence of a
very elaborate fee system for OBJ
tanning contracts in an illegal man
ner. The fees paid by some of
the contractors ranged from ten
to twenty per cent of the contract
price.
Hundreds of contracts were made
under this arrangement, and in
some cases, manufacturers were
threatened with being deprived of

FAILURE ON ITALIAN FRONT HITS AUSTRIA HARD
TURKS INVITE WAR BY HOSTILE ACTIONS IN PERSIA
AUSTRIANS UNABLE
TO ENLARGE GAINS

Associated Press Summary-Having
been given a disasterous check in the
mountain region, from point west
of Asiago to the Piave river the Aus
TRANS apparently now see their only
hope of success in enlargI1g the.-
gains on the west bank of the l'av.
along the thirty-mile river front.
The Teutons are attacking tiercely
today in an effort to over :cmc the
stubborn Italian resistance, tut :he
defending lines are still holding.
The reports indicate, however, that
the situation along the river is not
greatly improved from the Allied
viewpoint, notwithstanding the fact
that the Austrians have been defeat
ed at most points in their effort to
enlarge their gains along the river
1t is not known definitely where
the Austrians crossed the river Pave,
but there appears to be no doubt of
the fact that they now occupy posi-
tons of the west bank Of the stream.

of Mine and Sub and Arrives
Safely.

ATLANTIC PORT.-An American
steamship, carrying eighty passen-
gers and large crew, arrived in
port today from the Cuban coast,
after a voyage replete with thrilling
incidents.
The vessel steered a course which
brought here perilously close to
contact mine released by an enemy
submarine. The vessel narrowly
missed striking the mine which she
passed at distance of few yards
only.

engaged in sowing mines in the
track of the vessels entering and
leaving port, commenced an attack
on the steamer, which escaped by
crowding on all speed, the batteries
of the steamer also engaging the
marauding U boat.
The submarine was unable to get
