sometimes sinsly and sometimes in clusters of two or three, is green at first then brown and finally yellow. It grows to about the size of chiIds head. When fully ripe, it is unpleasant so 1t is picked before it natures. At this time it contains white pulp that bears a considerable resemblance to white bread. The natives cook it with hot stones which are put in a hole dug in the ground. A layer of leaves is put over these and then alternate layers of oreadfruit and leaves until the hole is nearly filled Earth and leaves are piled on the top and in about half hour the breadfruit is ready to eat
 It does not have pronounced flavor and some people think it rather taste less. It is slightly swedish and ex- tremely nutritious. People who like it never seem to tire of it and they eat it at meal after meal just as we do pota- toes and bread
 A. R. Wallace, the distinguished sci- enlist, thought it one of the best foods in the world. "With meat and gravy. " he said, it is 8 vegetable superior to anything I know either in temperate or tropical countries. With sugar, milk. butter or treacle. it is delicious pud- ding, having a very slight and delicate hut characteristic flavor" Other Euro peans have compared the taste of breadfruit to that of boiled potatoes and sweet milk. It seems to be such very good food that it ought some time to make it's appearance on our tables. Perhaps it wili.be brought in fthe-new flying freight services that Sna ays soon be inaugiHated

LIFE IN TROPICS
 IS EASIEST OF ALL
(Boston Post)

AbOSIOu OSlJ
 The temperate zone is the most pleasant place in which to live, but there are compensations about exist ence in the tropics. Coal shortages would not bother one and if one built ones house beneath a breadfruit tree, Germany could sink all the freight ships in the world and one would not be in any danger of starvation.
 Not many New Englanders are apt to have breadfruit served at their tables and very few have ever tasted this ex- traordinary product of nature. It is so important an article of diet for so many people, however. that it seems worth while to include it among foods that are more familiar. Moreover. it is becoming possible to import tropical fruits much more readily than was the case a few years ago and it seems pos sible that breadfruit may appear in our New England markets long before one might expect to see 1t.
 The breadfruit tree grows chiefly in the islands of the Pacific and the Ma lay archipelago, where 1t is the most important food of thousands and thous- ands of people. It has also been in troduced in the West Indies and to parts of South America, but in the New World it is used more as an ingredient in various delicacies than as a regular food.

Lieutenant James Higley was killed in action in France. That word first reached Phoenix a week ago from Los Angeles where a letter had been re- ceived from a member of his company. But as no official notice had been re- ceived by his father it was hoped that an error had been made.
 But yesterday confirmation came in a letter from a lieutenant of aviation in France, a friend. Lieutenant Higley had been promoted before leaving America to the rank of first lieutenant He had later been made company com mander, but whether with the rank of captain is not certain
 His friend had not heard of bis death when he called on the division to which Lieutenant Higley belonged and was shocked to learn that he had been killed. He writes that his major an1 all with whom he talked spoke in the highest terms of him as a comrade, a soldier and friend His loss to them was a personal one
 There is no information yet as to the time or the place of his death. It occurred probably more than a month ago in an engagement in which his company suffered severely, for letters received from men known to have gone over at the same time Lieutenant Hig- ley went have written of the death ar wounding of many of their comrades
 James Higiey had spent the greater part of his life from boyhood to young manhood in Phoenix After graduat- ing from the high school here, he went to Stanford university, and it was soon after his graduation there that he en- terd the first officers training camp

SEES NO BASEBALL FIGHT

CHICAGO, Nov. 15.-Charles Comis- key, owner of the Chicago Americans said tonight that he did not believe the action of the minor leagues in deciding that the major leagues should draft no more of their players would result in a baseball war.
 There is no chance for a fight" President Comiskey said. "The major leagues need the minors and the minor leagues need the majors. It has been my experience that the minor leaguers were always willing to dispose of their players and l am convinced the situ- ation will be adjusted"
 The conference between President Ban Johnson and the American league and August Hermann of Cincinnati, chairman of the national baseball com mission, was postponed until tomorrow.

 Tn his closing military review of the war, General March said the front held by the American first and second ar rnies, when hostilities ceased was s miles in extent.
 The performance of the American army" he added, ~at the conclusion of tho srnlisticc, had reached the highest point of military excellence- They are close to the hearts of the American people"
 General March gave the following of flcial line up on which the war ended on Nov. II.

ering with leather the various parts Of the varied appliances. Here again, in the perfection of finish, women score high. I saw cobblery that was maj chine like in it's exactitude. Here, too, were leather splints and supports, modelled on plaster casts, a marvellous teacher jacket that has been shaped over g. plaster of Paris bust of man with fractured bones and which he wore like a second skin until the joints united.
 But leather needs to be used spar ingly. In the vulcaniZed fiber depart ment its substitute was put to an ex- cellent test in the making of numerous splints, Belgium pylonS and wondrous ly constructed boots. So, too, in the papier mache room. There were flex- ing gloves, eye shades, hand cradles, bed boots, ward boots and walking boots, all so light and strong, so care fully fashioned and finished, that one wondered how these so called amateurs could have climbed to the heights of efficiency in the time.

1.-TWO American Indians have l been sent abroad by the Ma
 tional War Work Council of the Y. M. c. A, one for service with the British troops in Egypt and one to France for work with the h. dians with the American Expedi- tionary Force.

ARMOUR A WITNESS
He and Morris Must Testify at EN-
pIoyes' Investigation.

chicago Feb. 16.-Counsel for the
EMPLOYEES in the stock yards arpltra-
ton proceedings, today asked TO nave
j. Ogden Armour. president Oh AT
,no,fr q Company, and Nelson Nor
ris chairman of the board OF dlrec-
tors of Morris & Company, appear as
11itnesses before Federal Judge
Samuel Alschuler.
I An effort will be made to nave them
take the witness stand at TINS arter7
Moons session,
against the calling of Mr.. Armour
and Mr. Morris as witnesses on the
ground that it was improbable that
they would be able to give any IN
formation that could not be given by
other officials and the corporations
records.
eff they will not agree to appear
voluntarily, We will have subpoenas
issued said Attorney Frank P. Walsh;
Women Took Mons Jobs.
Timothy A. McCreash, an organizer
for the Amalgamated Meat Cutters
and Butchers Worknen, who was on
the stand when adjournment was
taken Thursday afternoon, concluded
his testimony this morning. He &C
cused the packers of hiring large
numbers of women to take the place
of men in many of the plants, espe-
cially in Kansas City, in order to re-
duce operating expenses. The women,
he said, were employed in meat trim
ming hog smuggling and trucking
hams and other work formerly done
exclusively by men.
The women, he said, received 20
to % y cents an hour, while the men
received 27 Il to 81 cents an hour for
the same work.
The witness said that employees in
the Kansas City, st. Joseph, Mo, and
other western plants received lower
rates of wages than those in Chicago.
He said he had not been permitted to
work in any Chicago plant since 1893,
because of his activity in the labor
movement.
On cross examination, the witness
admitted his knowledge of wages and
working conditions in the plants was
obtained by talking with employees as
he was denied admission to the firm s
premises.

TURNS BACK EAST
Hindephurg Finds Russ Crux
His Greatest Puzzle.
Military Lords Fine Feathers
Trimmed by BOlSheviki.
BY ]. w. T. MASON.

New York, Feb. 16.-The Russian
BolsheviA have killed any lingering
hope that may have existed in Ger
many of Won Hindenburg's ability to
conduct successful major winter Of
fensive against the British and French
lines along the west front.
The immediate concern of the Ger
man general staff has turned from the
west to the east. This is not because
Won Hindenburg fears Russian Of
feLsive, but because the Bolsheviki
defeated at Rrest-Litovsk the Won Hin
denburg peace diplomacy. Viz Hin
denburg and the militaristic clique
that surrounds him are now on the de-
fensive before the German people, as
far as concerns the Russian situation.
His Prestige at Stake.
The spirit of miIiIarism cannot
thrive on such drive. To be out
Unanswered by a beaten army and
peace delegates with no organized
force behind them is intolerable for a
militaristie class. Evidence Is beeem-
ing conclusive that Won Hindenburg
is confused by developments in Rus
STA, but seems instinctively to realize
that continuation of his power over
the German people requires that he
do something.
This is the reason why there are
persistent reports of high conferences
at the German eastern headquarters
anu Oh tentatlVe decisions to reSum e
German offensive against Russia.
But for purposes of peace negotiations,
Russia cannot be beaten more COM
pletely than she is now. The advance
of the German front a few miles
deeper into Russia and the capture of
Petrograd might be a positive disad-
vantage because of the additional Ger
map troops that would be required
later for. holding the new line. The
German people, too, would preba bly,
object to the waste of lives such a
campaign would entail, without COM
pensating advantages.
West Front Secondary Now.
But Won Hindenburg must act, or
suffer serious eclipse Of his pres
tige- No impression he can make on
the west front would affect the Rus
sian situation because the BolsheViki
have terminated Russia's alliance with
the allies. 1t is to the east alone that
Won Hindenburg must address himself.
For the moment, the western front is
secondary matter for the German
militarists. They are beginning to fear
the paradox that the war may finally
rbe lost to them against their unarmed
enemies in the east,
