zone who observed the United
States army during the late fracas,
both in this country and in the A. E.
F., frequently reached the conclusion
that chow was king" writes James
e. Darst in the American Legion
Weekly. "A complete history Of the
war could be indited in the terms of
tin willy, submarine turkey, slum,
pommes de terre Francois and pot
age" continues the Weekly:
"'When do we eat?
Remember that cry as the hon.

hungry men longed to get to the bill

Der that query in the trenches when
Jerry had 'shelled the communication

or IN the fox hole area when tho
kitchens hadn't been able to keep up7
'sEven way back in the wooden gun
days of. the war chow was q main
objective in the days plan. I believe
it is safe to say that every man in
the army or navy commented at some
time in his letters home on the food.
It was either, The grub Is fierce or

'Those were the days early in the
fall Of 1917, when mess sergeants
were new to their art-and
mess officers, too, for that matter.
The bird who managed to hold his
strategic position in the front end
Of the line was sure to get a monu'
mental helping;' whereas the unlucky
individuals at the other end were
apt to be told, No more prunes; move
on T. or Coffee all out; quit showing!
sThat was the fiercest battle for
existence. You were on time or went
hungry. Dear Clarence, who must
always be called three times for sup
per at home, learned to be right there
when the chow line fell in.
"Some of the canny. even learned
to pack their mess kits with them to
play.it safe; on much the same theory
that some men carry their tooth
brushes with them, not knowing where
they will spend the night.
"A tale is told of a com pany In
the depot brigade at certain camp
that was caught standing retreat
holding their mess kits. Which held
the prize until, a rocky in another
company of the same battalion was
observed standing retreat, wearing
dip Fat and smoking a stogte."

LIVED UP TO THEIR NAME
Few Able to Penetrate the Disguise Of
the "Mystery" Ships During
the Great War.

The mystery ships were so ct fec
lively disguised that even the most
experienced eyes could not discover
their real character. For weeks they
could lie in dock, the dockmen never
suspecting that they were armed to
the teeth. Even the pilots who went
aboard to take them into harbor
never discovered that they were not
the merchant ships which they pre-
tended to be. Captain Hanrahan,
who commanded the American mys-
terry ship Santee, based on Queens
town, once entertained on board an
Irishman from Cork. The CONVEX
sation which took place between this
American naval ofticer-who, in his
disguise, was indistinguishable from
a tramp skipper Of many years. e.
perience-disclosed the complete ig-
norance Of the guests concerning the
true character of the boat.
Chow do you like these Ameri-
cans" Captain Hanrahan innocent
ly asked.
"They are eating US out of house
and homeY' the indignant Irishman
remarked. The information was a
little inaccurate, since all our food
supplies were brought from the
United States, but the remark was
reassuring as proving that the ships
disguise had not been penetrated

HOW CAN A LAW ABIDING
MAN HAVE ANY PEACE:

Editor The Herald and News:
Will you permit space in your pa
per for a few radnom reflections,
and perhaps to ask little advice? l
know *. to be a good editor and a
good superintendent Of education
and good all round man (suiting
me pretty we'll and won't wait until
YOU are dead to tell you so either).
AS you have in the past represent
ed our countysin the legislature, you
must be somewhat skilled in the law,
and upon this subject I need advice.
When I:was growing up l felt a good
deal of freedom Especially when my
mother was absent), and no one ex-
cept her dared meddle with my liber-
ties, but nowadays one man may
command all newspapers and every
body to shut they mouths and they
obey.
But it's having so many laws that
bothers me, being a law abiding, citl-
zen. In trying to obey the law am
so afraid of stepping on another that
I hardly know how to walk.
Now, / didn't mind SO much the
taking of the dram from the poor and
giving special privileges to the rich'
and 1 consoled myself by feeling that
it would not be against the law to
have a little wine for the stomach S
sake, so l ordered some Himalaya
blackberry briars, but by the time
they began to bear I heard it was
against the law to even make a little
homemade wine. But the briars or
the vines ran all over my place, SO
/ had to make little in self defense.
When my first gallon got good Il
thought l would stay in the pales OF
the law by putting the jug under my
barn, which was very low to the
ground. I.knew some people would
stoop low, but no constable Will
stoop so low as to get under that
barn. So one morning as usual early
II stopped down, poured out half
tumbler, leaned back just as the sun
was peeping over the horizon, looked
in the glass to see if there were any
germs, bacteria or hookworm in 1t,
and behold there was my image IN
that glass which I mistook for a con-
stable, and l never after got any
pleasure out Of the vino, so | dis
carded the wine business and started
to raising bees to make me SOME
honey.
So, last spring | had several hives,
one of which ran away and settled in
tree at the foot of the hill near
Ashfords ferry. / made gum, went
down and put them in it and they
worked nicely filling up with honey
for the winter. / had not moved the
gum yet, waiting for the cold wealth
er to drive the bees all in. So the
constables came down few days
ago and evidently mistaking my bee
gum for still house deliberately
shot my gum, bees and honey to
pieces. ;,
Now for your advice. Please tell
me how a lawabiding old man can

"The Bird of Paradise"
Raleignh ~. c. News and Observ-
er, Nov. %.
\ :sThe Bird of Paradise" "a love
story of Hawaii" played to two good
houses at the Academy of Music yes
terday and again demonstrated that
the plays hold on it's audiences is due
to something more than its plaintive
Hawaiian melodies, the sensuous ap-
peal of it's Hull dancers, or ever It's
startling scenic effects.
Passioned is arraigned against
love and love wins, while the lure OF
white arms and warm red lips breeds
both villainy and tragedy. DR.. Will
son, American physician, on mis-
sion of ambition and service, falls
under the physical charms Of Luana'
Hawaiian princess and for two years
he is chained. But the same incident
that leaves DR.. Wilson in the meshes
Of infatuation, where he abandones
his high aims, lifts Dean, the beach
conber, from drugged hopelesness,
to pursue the same aims and in the
pursuit he finds both success and
love. Diana Larned, American uni
versity graduate and philosopher, de-
serted by Wilson leads Dean on. And
Dean wits the kind of love that
might have been Wilson'S for the ask
ing.
But lust as Luana discovers that
physical infatuation is not enough to
hold her lover, Diana Larned finds
that in the cold affection of Dean
there also is something lacking. Will
son awakes from his dream sand IN
the bitterness of his selfish weakness
turns on the woman. She, having
sacrificed her own possibilities and
having forfeited the respect Of her
ewn people, too late realizes but does
not regret. She turns back and De-
comes the blood sacrifice which the
gods of her people demand and IN the
mrid- crater of the volcano she per-
ishes. +
Miss Ann Reader, as Luana, goes
through difficult role wonderfully,
with William MacCauley as DIR. Paul
Wilson, the weakling; Frederick Fos-
rested as Dean, the beach eomber; Fl
len Mahar,. as Diana .Larned, the
American university graduate; John
j. Powers and Minnie Wilson as Mr..
sysonby and Mrs. sysonby, mission
.ary and wife; and John Milton as
Captain Hatch, mereenary planter
Nothing better has come to Raj
eigh in d long time, than "The Bird
of Paradise" and no stronger cast
than the one presenting it. Miss
Reader, Williams McCaulay, and
Frederick Forester are far superior
TO the average artists who entertain
Raleigh theatre goers, and they are
wonderfully supported in the remain
der Of the cast. Striking scenic ef-
fects, and the appeal Of a story alb
sorbingly interesting do the rest.
