West Told COAST PEOPLE m Report That Soldiers Clean Boots With Bread. The report that the British soldier uses bread to clean his boots has caused an officer attached to the Quartermaster General‘s staff to make a statement in the London Times, reâ€" garding the wastage of food in the army, which he thinks is no more to blame in this respect than the civil population. _ "There is no doubt," the officer says, "that where a very large number of men are assembled together under military conditions the appearance of waste will be more striking than family waste in a civil community." He then admits that the wastage of food, particularly of bread, is characâ€" teristic of the army, since it is the vice of a large section of the British populace. _ Some waste is inevitable, but it can be reduced to a minimum if the officers of a regiment give the food problem the same attention they give to the training of the men in the field. Avoidable waste is usually coupled with complaints of deficiency of food. But no small cause is the fastidious taste of the men of the new armies, who come in large part from _ nice homes and are not used to the coarse fare of the camp. The serving of food also often involves waste, as when all the meat is cooked and servâ€" ed at once, and the scrap ends and bone that might have been cut out and made into soups and stews are sent to the table and thrown away. The modified home ration of the army gives a soldier a pound of meat, a pound of bread, two ounces of bacon and seasonings, with cash allowance of 11 cents a day to buy extras. In the extraordinary forces the allowâ€" ance of food is greater, including a quarter of a pound of bread extra and jaum and cheese; but lately these rdditional items have been eliminated on most parts of the line and the cash yum of 11 cents substituted, as in the home ration. BEBITISH FORCES WASTE FOOD As some 80,000 army cooks are reâ€" quired and the facilities for training cooks were at first limited, the mess was badly handled for a time in the new regiments. _ But this drawback has been overcome. The officer tells of seeing a score of large loaves floating down a river near a camp in Salisbury Plain and found the men had thrown the bread away because of the food brought them by friends and relatives.

In the Genesis, chapter 2, verse 10, "And a river went out of water the Garden." The four rivers of Eden mentioned in Genesis have all been clearly idenâ€" tifled with portions of the Tigris and Euphrates rivers, although Genesis only uses the present name of one, the Euphrates. reelings as the Regiments Entrenched on Spot. At last the British Army is enâ€" camped in the Garden of Eden, in the very spot where the Lord God originâ€" ally planted the human race to dwell in happiness and innocence, writes the chaplain of the British expeditionary force in Mesonotamic When once Turkey had declared war on the allies it became a matter of great importance for Britain to seize the head of the Persian gulf, where the rivers of ancient Mesopoâ€" tamia flow into the ocean. The Shattâ€"elâ€"Arab, as the stream is called where the Tigris and Euphrates rivers unite in one, for the greater part of its coursé, forms the boundary between Persia and Turkey. Some twenty miles below Basra it is joined by the Kasum, near whose course, about 100 moles from its mouth, are the Angloâ€"Persian company‘s oilâ€" fields. _ The effective protection of these is necessarily an object of vital importance. _ It was also of considerâ€" able importance to create a division in this quarter which should cause the Turkish generals engaged in defendâ€" ing the Dardanelles to feel uneasiness as to a possible advance up the Euphrates. 5 The expeditionary force, under Lieut.â€"Gen. Sir Arthur Barrett, conâ€" sisted of three Indoâ€"British infantry, and artillery and auxilliary services in proportionâ€"in all probability some 15,000 to 18,000 men. _ It included at least three British battalions â€" the Second Dorsets, the Second Norfolks, and the Oxford and Bucks light inâ€" fantry. e The advance brigade reached the Shattâ€"elâ€"Arab and after a brief fight occupied Fao, a few miles up the river. _ Several attacks were made upon it by a force from Basra, which were easily beaten off. Shortly afterward the main body of the expeditionary force began to arâ€" rive. It has entirely disembarked at Saniyeh, a place above Fao, near the Angloâ€"Persian Oil Company‘s depot at Adaban. The weather was wretched. _ Rain converted the alluvial flats into a wilderness of mud. _ The men were drenched and caked with the riverine clay; the very rifles were often chokâ€" Meanwhile the advance guard carâ€" ried out a reconnaissance up the river and located the enemy in position at Sahilo, about nine miles distant. They numbered about 5,000 men, with twelve guns, under Gen. Subr Bey, the vali (governor) of Basra. The reconnaissance carried an advanced position with a loss of sixty killed and wounded, and withdrew unmolested to report.

On our side the men had the greatâ€" est difficulty in getting forward through the clayey mudbeds, and the wornâ€"out horses could not bring up the field artillery. Nevertheless, the Belgaum brigade steadily advanced, and the attack, being presently supâ€" ported by other troops and assisted by the fire of two gunboats on the river, at last closed upon the Turkish entrenchments and carried them, capâ€" turing two guns and 100 prisoners, besides inflicting a very heavy loss in killed and wwounded. The defeat of the enemy was assisted by a mirage, which miraculously came to the aid of our gunners.

So far as the Germans défend their attack upon the Lusitania and the other misdeeds of their submarine warfare on merchant ships, it is as reprisal or retaliation, says the Outâ€" look. _ England, they say, has in her blockade and mineâ€"laying exceeded former limitations of international law; therefore Germany may kill noncombatants as she chooses. This can hardly be called argument; it is that vicious misuse and expansion of technical rules that Germany has shown from the first; Antwerp has fortifications miles away from the city; therefore, it is right and honorâ€" able purposely to drop bombs on houses in the centre and kill women and children; some Belgians may have fired on German soldiers, thereâ€" fore it is right to kill and burn inâ€" digcriminately in Louvain. _ And so on through the series of savage acts which have made Germany‘s conduct in this war horrible and repulsive. ’The old cry that England‘s blockade is starving German people has been overexploited and its falsity is known. Germany is not carrying on her subâ€" marine war to get food into Germany, but to keep munitions of waf out of Englandâ€"a perfectly proper object, but not one to excuse atrocities. The fact is that from the beginning Gerâ€" many has acted on the belief that might makes right; proof gathers that her purpose was aggressive from the start, and so far as she is now on the defensive it is from necessity alone. â€" If neutral nations accept her plea of necessity for uncivilized warâ€" fare, they may later have to deal with that aggressive purpose exercisâ€" ed against themselves. What Caused the Trouble. "I always drank coffee with the rest of the family, for it seemed as if there was nothing for breakfast if we did not have it on the table. "I had been troubled for some time with my heart, which did not feel yright. This trouble grew worse steadily. _ "Sometimes it would beat fast, and at other times very slowly, so that 1 would hardly be able to do work for an hour or two after breakfast, and if I walked up a hill, it gave me a severe pain. â€" (The effects of tea are very similar to those of coffee beâ€" cause they each ‘contain the drug, caffeine.) # , "I had no idea of what the trouble was until a friend suggested that perâ€" haps it might be coffee drinking. 1 tried leaving off the coffee and began drinking Postum. _ The change came quickly. _ I am glad to say that I am now entirely free from heart trouble and attribute the relief to leaving off coffee and the use of Postum. "A number of my friends have abanâ€" doned coffee and have taken up Posâ€" tum, which they are using steadily. There are some people that make Posâ€" tum very weak and tasteless, but if made according to directions, it is a very delicious beverage." Name given by Canadian Postum Co., Windsor, Ont.

NO IDEA The recent antiâ€"German riots in Great Britain, which came as a climax to the sinking of the Lusitania, were not directed at every German inâ€" habitant of the British Empire, for there are still a great number of (}er- mans who are regarded with the highest esteem by their British neighâ€" bors. This has been strongly emphasized in Birmingham, Eng., in the case of the Rev. Gertrude von Petzold, M.A., who is seen in the accomâ€" panying photograph at work preparing a sermon. For eighteen years she has been a resident of England and during that time she has endeared herâ€" self in the hearts of her néighbors to such a degree that they have petiâ€" tioned the Home Secretary to grant her naturalization papers. â€" She is the pastor of Waverly Road Unitarian Church and has taken her degree at Edinburgh University. Whet Is the Reason for Its Curious Elusiveness What becomes of gold? It is one of the oldest metals in huâ€" man useâ€"there are gold beads dating back to the stone age. It is an obâ€" ject of almost universal desire. _ It is proof against almost all the inâ€" fiuences which destroy other metals, and it has been mined in enormous quantities. _ Yet toâ€"day more than twoâ€"thirds of the gold in use has been dug since 1849. What becomes of the rest? Where is the gold that set Jason wandering into the Black Sea, that filled the treasures of Croesus, that paid the terrible tribute which Persian kings assessed against the Punjab? _ What has happened to the yellow dust and "electrum"â€"an alloy of gold and silâ€" verâ€"which negro traders brought down the Nile to Egypt for four or five thousand years? Ancient gold, like that of modern times, was used for money and for ornaments, but both have disappeared. _ Where?

A driver in the Royal Field Artilâ€" lery, while in a hospital in England, told the following simple and affectâ€" ing story of his horses: I had driven them for three years. I tell you I could talk to them just as I am talking to you. There was not a word I said that they didn‘t unâ€" derstand. _ Early in the retreat from Mons, a shell crashed right into the midst of the section with which I was moving. A driver in front of me was blown to bits. My gun was wrecked. _ I was ordered to help with ancther. _ As I mounted the fresh horse to continue the retreat, I saw my two horses struggling and kicking on the ground to free themselves. I could not go back to them. I tell you it hurt me. _ Suddenly a French chisseur dashed up to them, cut the traces, and set them free. I was a good way ahead by that time; but I kept looking back at them, and I coule© tell that they saw me as soon as they were on the.* feet. ‘ Those horses followed me for four diys. We stopped for hardly five min tes, and I could rot get back to them. There was no work for them. but they kept their piace in the line like trained soldiers. They were folâ€" lowing me to the very end, and the thought occurred a thousand times: "What do they think of me upon anâ€" cthcr horse?" Whenever I looked for them, they were in the line, watching me so anxiously and sorrowfully as to make me feel guilty of deserting them. _ Whenever the word "Halt!" ran down the column, I held up my head to them. They saw it every time and stopped instantly. x Whether they got anything to eat I do not know. I wonder if they dropped out from sheer exhaustion? I hope to heaven it was not that! At any rate, one morning, when the reâ€" treat was all but over, I missed them. I suppose I shall never see them again. â€" That‘s the sort of thing that hurts a soldier in war!
