Army Will Give
| New Tune
| To 'ReveiHe'
Is the Associated Press.


Reveille is soon to have a new
twist, but nobody expects that to
add much to the American soldier S
enjoyment of music.
Reveille, In case you've never
been thus hustled from your cot
on a frosty morning, is the tune by
which soldiers are ordered to get
up. 1t is, therefore, reputed to be
the Army's most unpopular piece OF
music
The new twist on which the high
command has decided is a sort of
regimental signature. By this
means. it is expected that soldiers
permitted to lie in hunks until S
am. win not mistakenly arise when
a nearby regiment is reused out for
advance scouting two hours earlier
The distinctive signature may be
played either before or after the
lively but much-berated measures
which heretofore have awakened
the Army.

Big Scrap Iron Order
Placed for British
Steel Mills
$4,000 Tons Of U. S.
Metal to Be Paid
For in Cash
BY the Associated Press.

by tllt ffSSoS1dteu EIeSS.
NEW YORK. Nov. 21.-A record
order for 350,000 tons of scrap iron
has been placed in the United
States for shipment to Englands s
war-burdened steel mills, it was
learned today in trade circles.
In addition, it was said, Italy has
bought around 10000 tons and
Japan about 100000.
At the current price of about s21
ton for heavy melting scrap in
the Pittsburgh area, the tonnage
would be valued at approximately
s23, 900 900.
The British buying, trade circles
reported, was done in the name of
and British Iron and Steel Fedora
ton.
Dealers said England will pay
cash and supply the ships in ac-
cordance with United States neu-
trality laws. The scrap is destined
to move from Atlantic and Gulf
coast ports in coming months.
The exact price paid for the metal
was not disclosed.
A scrap dealer said the British
order was by far the largest single
one ever placed here.
European nations and Japan have
been heavy buyers of scrap here for
several years, taking peak tonnage
Of about 100000 in 1887.
Counting the latest purchases, it
was figured 1889 exports would ap-
proximate 100000 tons, about the
same as last year.
The scrap trade has been count
ing on further large British pur-
chases If the war drags on. be-
cause the old metal can readily
and cheaply be converted into steel
for war purposes.
Scrap prices scared on the out
break of war, jumping from around
SIG a ton at the end of August to
above $24 in October for the heavy
melting grade. Since then it has
reacted to the current quotation of
$2O50 to $21 for No. heavy melt
ing at Pittsburgh.
Record-breaking steel output in
the United States is rated the
largest influence In the market at
the moment.

Chef MorchiteIIi Culinary Masterpiece

brought from Italy. To make this
part of the dinner perfect, the
champagne, Moet and Chandon, I'M
perial Crown, 1923, was served.
A splendid melon glace made with
fresh fruit ices and special straw
berry sauce, and souvenirs in the
good old English fashion, with an
italian wine and champagne with
Kirch, finished the meal.
When the coffee was served, cigars
and cigarettes were in order. Until
this moment no man had smoked.
The 100 guests sat there, with their
napkins tucked in their collars-part
OF the ceremonies-and rolled their
eyes heavenward as they tasted of
the rare viands.
When it was all over and criticism
was called for, not man could
register one word of complaint, with
the exception of Napoleon, the ire
slstible reStaurateur, who called for
more coffee and more cognac. 9th
erwlse, not murmur was heard.
Yet it is the custom of Les Amis
dEscoffier to have their distin-
guished guests take the floor at the
end of each meal and say what was
wrong-if anything.
When no criticism was voiced
