CRICSBY BUSY OVER BUILDING
 FOR CORDOVA

The local Chamber of Commerce is exerting every effort to have the gov ernment begin the erection of pub lie building at COrdOva, for which an appropriation of $1O0,0OO was made some time ago, and upon which work has been delayed on account of the war. The lots have been surveyed and the plans for the building adopted, but on account of increased wages and cost of material it is now thought that the original appropriation is not sufficient to complete the structure, as originally planned. In order to overcome this obstacle bill has been introduced in congress for an addi- tional $100,000, and Delegate George B. Grigsby, to whom the chamber has applied for assistance, gives the as- surance that this needed money will be forthcoming in the next omnibus bill. That our delegate is working for the appropriation and is keeping in close touch with developments is best explained in the following wire just received by the Chamber of Com merce:
 Have spent the past week trying to get action on Cordova public build ing. Supervising architect of the treasury department unwilling to at- tempt construction on $1OO,0O0 appro- priated. This not only on account of excavation expense but general in- creased cost of materials. The last omnibus public building bill carried an additional $1OO,OOO. The chairman of the committee assures me the next omnibus will will carry this additional $100,000 and will pass. The architect is unwilling to build pOstoffices where | people have to climb steps. Have in troduced a separate bill for additional cost, which will pass, and an elegant | building will result, as I have gone | over the plans"

Physicians Are Still Hunting for

U. S. Laboratory Director Says No
Cure for Battling Disease

New ork-Considering that the In
surance companies Of the United
States lost about $130,0OO,OOO during
the three months last year when the
Influenza epidemic was at its height
it was but natural that when the Asso-
citation of Life Insurance Medical d.
rectors met in annual convention in
Newark the physicians and public
health authorities should concern
themselves almost exclusively to the
search for some preventive measure
which would preclude another outbreak
of the plague.
And yet, although it was shown that
about 100000 people in the world
persisted from it, 100000 Of whom were
Americans, all the medical experts adj
mitted that the disease was completely
battling. Said DIR. G. w. Mccoy, d.
rector of the hygienic laboratory Of the
public health service in Washington.

Paris-The French government has
decided to install an airplane service
TO feed inhabitants of the redeemed
districts of northern France until rail-
ways destroyed by the Germans In
their retreat can be restored.
With 200 airplanes at least 100000
people of the stricken provinces can
be fed daily. 1t is believed this num-
Der of planes could carry 100000
pounds Of flour, 10000 pounds Of sugar.
10000 pounds of butter, 10000 pounds
Of vegetables and 10000 pounds Of con-
densed food.
While this will be the most gigan-
tic scale on which airplanes have been
used for feeding country, yet the
system is not entirely new.
During the war 1t was successfully
used by the British In carrying food
to their troops in Mesopotamia. Pal

used by the Germans. A detachment
Of their troops, completely encircled,
was kept supplied with food by air
planes that dropped baskets containing
bread, kraut. canned meat and other
supplies.
For the airplanes that will be neces-
sary for the new service for feeding
the north Of France, the French gov
eminent will first of all make use Of
Its own bombing machines. After this
1t expects to be able to utilize not less
than 100 planes turned over by Ger
many under the terms of armistice. In
addition, France hopes that both Eng
land and the United States will place
at her disposal number Of their
bombing machines now lying idle in
France.
Vital as the new service will be for
feeding the north Of France, 1t also
will help solve the problem Of the grad
ual transformation Of the military avi-
ation service for peace times.

From the bath hotel your trail nat

reading and conversation rooms, its
theater. and concert hall and, above
all. the springs that made Bad Neu-

American military occupation are quite
unmistakable, for certain heavy field
mortars are drawn up in line in front
of the Kurpark, while along the ia
vorite walks of wealthy valetudina

mules and long lines of artillery
horses.

You pick your way judiciously
through the park between the mules
and horses and arrive at a large

open and sides done in stained glass,

ed: "Nichts zu essen" But we did
not know what that meant, so we just
hung around there and waited. Then
they started shouting, "Zurucki Zu-
ruckw and drove us back to the barr
racks.
Later we heard the words "nichts
zu essenl" so often that we thought
probably they meant ''no eats" We
had our reasons for thinking so, too.
Those words, and "zuruck" and
"'raus," were practically all we did
hear, except, Of course, various kinds
of schweinhunde.
1t was awful to see the men when
we got back to the barracks. Some of
the boys from the Georgia, not much
over twelve years old, were almost
crazy, but even the older men were
crying, many Of them. 1t was nothing
but torture all the time. They opened
all the windows and doors in the bar
racks, and then we could not heat the
room with our bodies. When we start
ed to move around, to keep warm. they
fired few shots at us. / do not
know whether they hit anyone or not /;
we had got so that we did not pay any
attention to things like that. But 1t
The Huns thought we would take the
rifles from the sentries and use them,
too.
/ never saw a yellower bunch of
people in my life. / do not mean peo-
pie. I wish could publish what l
really mean.
We had stoves in the barracks, but
no coal or wood to burn. There were
many boxes piled up there, but they
belonged to the Germans. We would
have burned them If we could, but
the Germans made us carry them
across the road. They weighed about
$50 pounds apiece, and we were so
weak that 1t was all two men could do
to bulge them. And we had to carry
them; they would not let us roll them.
We were so cold and hungry that even
that exercise did not warm us.
About 2 80 the whistle blew again,
and the Huns picked out few men
and took them down the road. We
could not figure out why. but they
came back about three o'clock, all Of
them with bread in their arms. They
were chewing away on 1t when they
had a chance. Whenever the sentries
were not looking they would bite at 1t
like fish going after a worm. Each
man carried five loaves.
When they got in the barracks the
/ sentries made them put the bread
down on the floor. and then, with
their bayonets, the sentries cut each
loaf once down the center lengthwise
and four times across, which meant
ten men to loaf about the size Of an

Allies Rifle Strength
Greatest When Needed

Washington.-Fig show

lied and enemy force on the
western front during the last
eight months of the war were re-
ceived by the war department.
They show that up to July the
allies We're Outnumbered from
100000 to 100000, but that they
reached their peak on Septem-
Der l, when they had 1,6S2,000

Rifle strength Is the number
of "men in the trenches ready

American division Of 27000 COM
bat troops is 12,250. This shows
that the actual armies on the
western front totaled more than
twice as many as the rifle
strength figures.
During the hard fighting from
September 1, the Germans
losses were appalling, the ffg-
ures showing drop in their
strength from 100000 to $780,

ordinary ten-cent loaf in this country
now. They gave each of us piece
q little larger than safety-match
box.
The bread was hard and dark, and
I really think they made 1t from trees.
1t had just exactly the same smell
that the dirt around trees has.
We fled past the sentries single file
to get our ration of this mud, and
there was no chance of getting in line
twice, for we had to keep on filing
until we were out in the road, and
stand there in the snow to eat It. We
could not go back in the barracks un-
til every man had been served.
Our meals were like this: A can Of
barley coffee in the morning; cabbage
soup, SO called. at noon: a tenth Of a
loaf of bread at p. m. That was
our menu day in and day out, the
kaiser's birthday, Lincoln's, May day.
or any other time.
This cabbage soup was great idea.
We called it shadow soup, because the
boys claimed they made 1t by hanging
a cabbage over barrel of water and
letting the shadow fall on the water.
We pretended. too, that If you found
any cabbage in 1t, you could take your
dish back for a second helping. But
I never saw anybody get more than
one dishful. All 1t was, was just
spoiled wafer
We tried to 30 to sleep that night,
but there were so many seutries
