FIGHTERS GOT THEIR "EATs"
How American Soldiers at the Front
Were Supplied by the Com
missary With Food.

The service Of supply Of the Amer
lean army receives lions share OF
praise for our victory. Needs Of men
in the trenches and on the fighting
line were well cared for. Hot meals
were served to them to an extent un-
precedented in any other war. Under
barrage fire and gas attacks, however.
hot food could not be carried forward
To meet this difficulty sealed con-
tainers were provided. each holding
sufficient food for 25 men for day.
These containers were absolutely air
tight to prevent poisoning Of food by
gas. They contained a dry. hard corn
bread. corned beef, corned-beef hash.
roast beef. salmon, sardines, salt.
sugar and coffee soluble In cold wa
ter. together with the necessary can
openers. Each container weighed 1O7
pounds and was cleverly camouflaged
for its trip to the firing line. An
emergency ration similar to the "iron
ration" Of the British army was pro.
vided for the Americans. This was
the ration they carried over the top
and used only In dire extremity. II
consists Of ground meat and wheat
pressed into cake. and a block Of
sweet chocolate. The cake can be
eaten dry or stirred into cold water.
One cake boiled four minutes In three
pints OF water makes nourishing
soup, in one pint Of water an accept.
able porridge. The s. o. s. relied
upon its mighty accumulation Of foods
from America for everything except
fresh vegetables. 1t was almost inde-
pendent in this respect. however, for
100000 pounds Of dehydrated vege-
tables were contracted for in the
United States.-Thomas F. Logan in

WILL BE NO SMALL STATE

We are told the Czecho- -Slovak state

existence will be precarious. assum.
ing the world shall remain In any
thing like its present condition Of In
ternational disorganization, Charles
Pergler writes in Asia Magazine. In
the first place. as modern states go. the
new state will not be small one. hav-
Ing population, Of about 100000.
and the area Of the new state will be
about $4,000 English square miles.
When we recollect that Belgium has
11,S73 square miles. It Ia seen at a
glance that the new state can hardly
be classed as small. Moreover, the
belief In the necessity Of large states.
rife In certain circles Of economic and
political theorists, and largely based
upon certain teachings Of Karl Marx,
Is one Of the superstitions that period.
tcally appear, In order to be abandoned
upon sober second thought.
The theory that small states and ma
tions cannot succeed is not borne out
BY history. Even prior to the war
there were in Europe q states. and
the great majority Of these were
small. There were only six Of the so
called great powers: Russia, Germany,
Austria-Hungary. England. France and
Italy. Portugal. Denmark, Switzer-
land. Bulgaria. Belgium. Norway. Ser
bia. Greece, Holland. Sweden. Monte
negro and Turkey are all. or were.
smaller than the state we are attempt
Ing to describe. The latter will hold
in Europe the eighth place, only Eng
land. Poland. France. Italy. Spain and
Russia being larger.

Prince Carol and the Throne.

In 1866 the ROumanians offerd their
throne to Prince Carol of q side branch
of the Hohenzollern family. who was
also. however, connected through his
mother with the dynasty of Napoleon.
Austria and Russia were not enthusi-
astic over seeing Hohenzollern reign
ing at Bucharest, but Bismarck saw
a chance to put friend of Prussia
in the Balkans and urged the young
prince to accept.
William Stearns Davis in "Roots OF
the War" Century Magazine) in re-
lating the incident quotes the great
minister as saying: "Even If you fail
you will always remember with plens-
ure an adventure which can never be
a reproach to you" Mr.. Davis goes
on to relate that through fear the
prince Travelled down the Danube dis.
guised as n second-class passenger un-
til at Turnu-Severin, on ROumanian
soil. he left the boat and was greeted
by his future prime minister. Aus
tria fumed and might have taken ac-
ton. but her great war with Prussia
was about to break out and she soOL
had more grievOus troubles. The 9TH
er powers declined to intervene,
and the sultan Of Turkey. the princes

ruler. Thus Prince Carol kept his

hebralc Idea Of God.

The Hebraic idea Of God as an ab-
solute. immutable, transcendent Being.
who yet reveals himself and works out
his will In and through the life OF
Israel his people; who is at once tri-
bal and universal, at once a metaphys-
ical principle and a very present help
In time Of need, at once independent
Of all human agency and in some way
unable to fulfll himself except through
rhe striving Of men for goodness-that
idea Is typical Of an attitude to the
world which can defy logic without
sinking into mysticism. and can insist
on the application Of abstract prin-
ciples in human life without making
human life the slave Of distractions.
In every manifestation OF the Hebrew
spirit the attitude can be discerned.
II has still something to say to the
world and In the Jewish Palestine Of
