Fetich Military Authorities Arp Consider
ing the Adoption of traveling
Kitchens For Army
Fris. —In view of the recent events
it 11 he of interest to tell you that
sin the Russo-Japanese war. the
Freh military authorities have been
sernsly considering, the adoption of
trailing kitchens for the army, that
is tsay. of kitchens in which the food
of p troops is cooked while they are
on le march. Though their utility is
serially admitted, this opinion is not
unirsal, and General Petetin has an
artie in “l.a France Militaire in
whii he denies both their practical
vali and their desirability. His first
ohjtion is the increase which these
trailing kitchens would make to the
lenh of the column of march—an in
cree of nearly a mile and a half to
an rmy corps.
Information.
Atin to scouts and particularly to
aerilanes, the smoke of the wagons
wot! give invaluable information as
to e number of units and composi
tioitf the column. Another objection
wotl be the number of men taken
awi from the ranks of the combat
ant and the increase in the number
of rrses required. Of their utility,
he ys that, on marching days, al
thojh for the cavalry and artillery it
wod be an unquestionable benefit, as
theare well occupied with caring for
the) horses, for the infantry it is not
so tar. and the chief difficulty of the
comander is to keep his men occu
pied On fighting days, when the
fcitffins would be of real utility, it is
certti that they would not arrive for
the if an try, and that, moreover, they
eou; not keep pace with the cavalry.
“Russo-Jap” War.
F the Russo-Japanese war, which
waa'ssentially a war of "positions.”
the tuation was very different from
thatvhich it would be in a great Eu
rope war, which must be a war of
mailing and manoeuvering. But
thoih there is something to he said
for le General's argument, much of
it ds not carry very great weight.
Theevealing wagons in which the
foods cooked on the march do not
occiy much more room or require
mar more horses than would the oth
er ugons carrying the cooking uten
sils which the food was not cooked
on 1» march.
Eprerience on the English ma
noeires has shown that the differ
ence the time in which the men get
theiijood under this system and un
undethe old methods improves enor
mous the comfort, and hence the
efficlcy of the men.
Sleep and Rest.
Exrience also shows that after a
tiringlay's marching the commander
feels o necessity to make his men
play cooking to amuse them. All
that ey want to do is to sleep and
rest r the next day. The argument

GROWING DOLLARS.
ears ago when §taten Island was not all used even for gardens
the was one garden in which a b oy raised vegetables which produced
in me -ome extraordinary thin ts— including railroads.
his garden prospered because it was carefully attended to. After
supying ail his near neighbors t he boy made daily trips in a rail ooat
withis farm products to New Yo rk City, where people were tiien (as
thepre now) very glad to get fres h vegetables at reasonable prices.
The was no ferry to New York City and his neighbors found it con
vemt to make use of the sail boa t. At 16 this boy was so reliable that
peu? came to depend upon him; his busine-s grew. He discovered it
waas profitable to carry passengers as vegetables. At 18 he was the
owr of three boats. He also sup plied farm produce to the fortifica
tionin New Y’ork harbor and adjacent waters, so the farm grew with
theassenger service.
eopie began to talk about the boy, Cornelius Vanderbilt. Later he
conflicted a fleet of steamboats to compete with the line then run
ning the Hudson River and Long Island Sound. This fleet became
thergest of its sort in the world. From transportation by water he
gracilly became interested in railroads.
he first Van der Bilt who came from Holland in 1650 had Dutch
thri Gardening doubtless helped inspire Cornelius Vanderbilt with
metdical wpys. Boys and girls are quickly influenced bv the fascina
tionf growing things and before the charm is gone the profit is there
to ps gardening new interests. The big new idea in education is to
makgardening a part of the public school courses. The American
Sock for Thrift is urging that children of the cities and towns shall
not denied the same inspiration and training which led to Vander

scho gardening would add $100,000,000 a year to the home revenues
of 2/0,000 school children. The plan has been proved a success.

that the wagons would never arrive
when they were wanted may be per
fectly sound and true, but, however
true, it is equally true of the cooks’
wagons of the present system.
The modern European war, as the
General says, will probably be a war
of marching and manoeuvering, and
in such a war it is of great importance
to keep men as fresh as possible. The
best method of securing this result is
by feeding the men as soon as possible
when they are hungry, and this can
he best assured by the employment
of traveling kitchens. It is almost
certain that the experiments which are
being made, and the discussion which
is going on. will result in their adop
tion by the French army.
RIVERSIDE MILITARY ACADEMY
RECEIVES GOVERNMENT
ENDORSEMENT.
Gainesville, Ga.—Riverside Military
Academy has been designated as the
one and only military academy in
Georgia to be furnished naval equip
ment for the use of its students. Word
to this effect was received today by
President Sandy Beaver of Riverside
Military Academy from the Hon
Franklin D. Roosevelt, Acting Secre
tary of the Navy at Washington, D. C.
Following his recommendation a re
adiest for such Naval Equipment was
sent to Adjutant General J. V. PI. Nash
of the National Guard of Georgia, who
approved and sent it to Governor John
M. Slaton, who endorsed the approval
and forwarded it to the Secretary of
the Navy and as a result part of the
equipment has already arrived at Riv
erside.
A congressional Act governing such
matters prescribes that only one mil
itary academy in each state can be
furnished such equipment, and to date
only three in the United States have
passed the rigid inspection necessary
to secure the equipment.

Republic of Panama in anticipation of
a greatly increased demand for lines of
communication when the canal is open

recently has ordered 1,800 miles of tele
phone and telegraph wire, the larger
part of the order being paced in the
United States. The first new line to be
constructed will be to David, the most
important town in the republic outside
of Panama City and Colon. The whole
expenditure will amount to some $500,-

SERIQUS KURD
UPRISING ON
Feared That It Will Be a Re-
Enacting of the Massacres of
the Past.
Constantinople. Dispatches from
Armenia today tell of a serious up
rising among the Kurds. The lead
ers declare they are moving against
the government, but prominent Ar
menians here fear the net result will
be re-enacting of the massacre of the
past.
About 4,000 armed Kurds are sur
rounding Bitlis. Some have taken
possession of tile Armenian monas
tery of Khiridrakadar, after exi elling
the monks. The Kurds declared to
the monks that their movement was
directed not against the Armenians,
hut against the government.
Two Kurdish Derebeys, Shielt Mo!-
las Selim and Shiek Chehabeddin,
stirred up the Kurdish population in
the name of the Cheriat, and for the
last two days a small number of gen
darmes and soldiers have been fight
ing against the Kurds. But the local
gendarmerie, of which the majority
are Kurds, seem to have gone over
to the side of the assailants.
Machine Guns.
The Minister of the Interior, Talaat
Bey, has ordered strong military re
inforcements with machine guns to
be di-patched immediately from
Moosh, Erzindjah and Erzerouma, to
suppress the movement, which ap
pears to be genera), and extends as
far as Moosh, Kighi, Diarbekir, Van
and Samsun.
Although the chiefs declared that
they one not acting against the Arme
nians, there is reason to believe that
if they should succeed in entering Bit
lis. the Kurds will turn against the
Armenian inhabitants.
In Armenian circles the greatest
apprehension prevails, because while
hitherto the Kurdish Derebeys have
acted individually they are now work
ing in concert. It is thought in these
circles that unless extremely rigor
ous measures are taken against them,
I the Kurdish masses will be constant
| ly aroused by them either against the
government, which ardently desires
the prompt application of the re
forms.
The Kurds, left to themselves, are
inoffensive. The reforms are opros
ed by the Derebeys, who, as the first
result of them, would immediately
lose their feudal privileges.
New Fashion Futurist
Jeered—Blacked Face
St. Petersburg. —A young woman
appeared in a public park at Grosnyi,
in South Russia. Half her face had
been blackened. The color was not
due to the little accidents of grate
cleaning.
The 'black’’ —blacking, perhaps, or
biackiead —had been deliberately ap
plied. Moreover, it has been polish
ed, apparently with tender care, until
it shone.
But the revolt was not “a joy for
ever.” The plebeians in the park
were not impressed. They jeered.
And before their jeers the pioneer of
the new fashion had to retreat.
The woman, it seems was a Futur
iest who wished to go one better than
a colored wig and violet face pow
der.
