THE wOMENs DISCOVERY
St. Petersburg Times.)


Perhaps the men are making a biz
mistake in trying to get women who
have entered practically every known
field of mans business and industrial
effort to return to their pre-war do
nestle status. 1t is just possible that
the men have been discovered" dur
ing these recent war days.
Says London correspondent, the
war has sent men to the trenches
and their wives out to work in the
city-and women have pierced The an
cient sham" That is, the women folk
have found out exactly how easy the
mans job really is The tired busi-
ness man. when he complains Ct an
over strenuous day, will be talking
to a woman who went through just
such days and ran the household be-
sides. The conductor husband won't
have much to say about his job when
he recalls that the conductorette wife
handled it very successfully in his
absence and knows all about II.
Perhaps, however, the outlook is
not utterly hopeless for the men. The
women must have learned during
their working days outside the home
how comfortable place cheerful
home is to come to at the end of the
days work. If the household jobs
have been trying to nerves and body
so have the downtown Jobs. Perhaps
both workers will have gained greater
sympathy for each other, and in view
of their about equally difficult days
will go forth to a good concert or a
pleasing show together or treat them
selves to whatever kind of evening S
recreation hey crave and need most

ONE ARMY OFFICER
DARES TO TALK

Testifying before the Senate com
mittee on military affairs, Brig Gen.
Samuel T. Ansell who was Acting
Judge Advocate General through the
major part of the war, said that in
February, 1918, he was relieved as
Acting Judge Advocate and sent to
France because he objected to the
court martial outrages that were per-
mitted in the National Army!
Now that the war is over, it seems
that the truth can be told about a
number Of things without the risk
of having the truth-teller beheaded
General Ansell old the committee
that under the American system. any
officer may call court martial on
his own evidence, try the case as pro-
secutor, and then rule on the case
as member of the court! No other
country, he declared, permits such an
unfair proceeding. and it is impossi-
BILE for the soldiers under charges to
obtain an unprecedented trial under
such a system.
And the courts martial that have
been perpetrated in this great and
glorious democracy!
Gen. Ansell says that a sentence
Of forty years was imposed upon a
young soldier who had been in the
army only few days because he re
fused to give up package Of 3;ga :
cites to his superior officer, a seco-,
lieutenant!
Dishonorable discharge, forfeiture
of pay and forty years Imprisonment,
afterwards reduced to ten years. was
the sentence pronounced upon a man
for absenting himself without leave.
A private who went home without
leave to see his wife and sick baby in
destitute circumstances was SEN
fenced to fifteen years. imprisonment
This was later reduced to three years
The General related in deta;! the
case of young soldier who went
home without leave to see his dying
father. He hurried back to camr
as soon as his father died, and was
sentenced to death. The sentence
was not carried out on account of ex
ecutive clemency.
Countless cases besides these arc
on the records. Numbers of cases
that have been reported have secured
the release of the men from prison
camps, and have sent them home

THE EFFECTIVENESS OF
THE SHOTGUN In BATTLE
(Rambler in st. Petersburg Times.)

d
Much has been said in st. Peters.
burg regarding the use of shotguns,
loaded with buckshot. by the Ameri-
can soldiers in the fighting in France.
It was repeatedly reported here that
these weapons were used but there
was no confirmation of the report.
Many St. Petersburg persons heard
the statements that there had been
automatic sh0tguns used to stop the
Huns. The Rambler got confirmation
OF the reports from a Kentucky news
paper which printed an interview
with an officer who returned from
the front. He is Captain J. H.
Hoskins and he was in command OF
Company B, Sixth engineers. Regard
ing the use of the shotguns he said .
when we rolled into those trench
es we found those automatic shot
guns stacked in gangs of eight, all up
and down that trench, with extra
ones lying on the first parapet in the
rear wall of the trench, and plenty
OF shells handy. Each gun had a
she'll in the chamber and five in the
magazine, making six shots without
reloading, and all we had to do was
to pull the trigger. Those shells
were each loaded with twelve big
buckshot and behind each load was
twenty eight grains of Ballilstite pow
der. When we fired one of those
shells it nearly kicked us down, but
We didn't mind that when we saw the
execution done to the Germans. The
gun barrels were thirty inches in
length and full choke, which gave
them maximum range for weapon
Of this sort.
Needless to say We were all more
or less familiar with shotguns, and
the way those squirrel-hunting Amer
leans used them was thoroughly effec,
tive. Our colonel ordered that no one
should fire until he gave the com
mand. It looked to me like he wait
ed long time, and until the Ger.
mans seemed almost on top of us
But when the word came those guns
opened in earnest and Immediately
the effect was apparent, know that
shot as carefully as If quail was
my target. The Germans advanced
very confidently. for they knew we
were in desperate straits. But that
shotgun volley was new to them
They came on we'll punched together
and every time gun fired, two, three
or four Germans would go down
The more the surprise took hold o.
them the closer they would get to-

from those shotguns. Then, awher

In preparing fruits for cocktails
two things should he remembered:
The fruit should stand In sirup or
sprinkled with sugar to be well sweet
ened. To prepare the sirup use twice
as much sugar as water and cook 1t
until thoroughly dissolved.
The entire menu should be consid-
cred when serving fruit cocktail, as
other fruits do not appear at the same
meal. II vegetable cocktail (put to-
gether with some sort of salad dress
iDg) is served, the salad is omitted
for that meal.
One of the most attractive cocktails
may be made by using watermelon or
muskmelon for the foundation. Cut
the melon with a French potato cutter
into small balls and cover with a gin
ger sirup. using the Canton ginger and
bits of ginger; pour over the balls of
canteloupe. For watermelon the
dainty color makes most effective

of sugar water and lemon Juice. It is
unwIse to add sirup too highly fla
vored. for the fruit flavor itself should
be first.
A pineapple and raspberry comblna-
tion is very good. Cut the pineapple
with q small potato cutter and let the
fruits stand in slrup uncombined for
three hours, then chill them together
