ARMY TRAINING ITS
 SOLDIERS TO COOK
Old Time Kitchen King to Be Re- placed By White Aproned Chefs
 Who Can Really Serve.

Cobenz, Feb. 24.-The old time United States army cook who special jzed on baked beans and corned willy" and, in war times in France, became famous in soldier circles for his meal time call of "come and get it." is soon to be an individual Of memory only. Modern progress has pushed the old fashioned army cook aside, and in his place will soon ap- pear a white-aproned chap, with cap to match, skilled in all the arts of the up-to-date kitchen.
 Domestic science is to be made a feature, according to recently formed plans of the American Forces in Ger many, as part of the educational and vocational training system inaugurated some time ago.
 A school for cooks and bakers has been established in Coblenz. Even all the mess officers and enlisted men performing the duties of mess ser eeants have been ordered to take a course in training. This has been ar ranged with view of standarizing and improving the soldiers messes over which class graduated cooks will reign supreme.

Central Executive Committee of
 Soviet Russia Elects

APPROVES MATING OF
 WHITE AND COLORED
Baltimore Suffragist Tells Club Love Alone Should Guide Link
 ing of Sexes.

Baltimore. Feb. 24.-"1ntermar- riage between white women and Jap anese. Negroes, Hindus, or members of any other race is justifiable, pro vided the union is founded on love-, said Mrs. Donald R. Hooker, leading suffragist in Maryland, at the meet ing of the Just Government league
 Mrs. Rockers statement followed an address by Theodore Gould on the ,1apanese question and was made in response to a question of one of the members of the club.
 "Too often" said Mrs. Hooker, marriages are founded on considera- tions which have little to do with love. When mutual affection is taken as a basis for marriage, un- natural selection of mates disappears and the situation is as nature in tended it to be. The present inter- mineling of races exists without being sanctioned by law
 There are Negro half breeds and Japanese half breeds and half breeds of other races The great hordes of these tragic souls would dwindle con- siderably, in my opinion, if women would only mate merely for love, for I do not believe that there would be an intermingling of a superior race and an inferior race, if that were the case"
