EARN THEIR CROSSES Are Held Responsible for Feeding the Men In the Trenches, and Well and Nobly They Are Doing Their Duty. “ There Isn't anything heroic about cooks," writes Herbert Corey to the New York Globe, "and when things go wrong one either apprehends a cook aa chasing a waiter with a bread knife or giving way to tears." Yet the Ger man army contains many a cook whose expansive apron la decorated with the •ron cross. "And the Iron cross,” Mr. The German auxiliary cruiser which put Into Newport News recently with 36 Russan and French prisoners Corey remlnda us, "Is conferred for one thing only— for 100 per cent cour aboard, and also the crew of the American vessel William P. Frye, which was sunk by the cruiser. age.” The writer tells an Interesting tale: " ‘They’ve earned It,’ said the man who had seen them. ‘They are the bravest men In the kaiser's four mil lions. I've seen generals salute greasy, paunchy, sour-looking army cooks.’ "The cook’s Job la to feed the men of hla company. Each German com pany la followed or preceded by a field kitchen on wheels. Sometimes the Urea are kept going while the device trundles along. The cook stands on the footboards and thumps his bread. He is always the first man up In the morning and the last to sleep at night. The Teuton believes in plenty of food —of a sort. A well-fed soldier will fight. A hungry one may not. “ ‘ When the company gets Into camp at night,' said the man who knows, ‘the cook is there before it, swearing at his fires and the second cook, and turning out quantities of a depressing looking real atew, which ia, neverthe less, very .good to eat.’ " ‘When that company goes into the trenches the cook stays behind. There Is no place for a field kitchen in a four- foot trench. But these men in the trench must be fed. The Teuton In sists that all soldiers must be fed— but especially the men in a trench. The others may go hungry, but these must have tight belts. Upon their staying power may depend the safety of an army. “ ‘So, as the company cannot go to the cook, the cook goes to the com pany.

Maybe the claims of the contractors. trench is under fire. No matter. His men are in that trench and must be fed. “ ‘Sometimes the second cook gets his step right here. Sometimes the ap prentice cook—the dish washer— is summoned to pick up the cook’s yoke and refill the spilled buckets and tramp steadily forward to the line. Some times the supply of assistant cooks, even, runs short But the men In the trenches always get their food. “ ‘That's why so many cooks In the German army have iron crosses dan gling from their breasts,’ said the man who known. ‘No braver men ever lived. The man in the trench can duck his head and light his pipe and be rela tively safe. No fat cook yoked to two buckets of veal stew ever can be safe as he marches down the trench under fire. But he always marches. His men are always fed, and fed on time. The hero of the German campaign is the fat cook of the field kitchen.’ ” ARGENTINE SAILORS AWAIT RELEASE OF SHIP BUSY SCENE AT A GERMAN MARKET Reports that the supply of foodstuffs in Germany Is dwindling to such an extent that the nation Is on the verge } f starvation are not borne out by the scenes of activity witnessed in the market places of the kaiser's domain.

Through the transfer of a lease re cently in New York, what is believed to be the most unusual trinity of busi ness interests in the history of the country has developed. For a hundred years the same family has retained the ownership of the property, which has been occupied in part by the same firm for that length of time, leasing through the same real estate brokerage firm. The property in question Is a section of the four-story building at the cor ner of Front and F'ulton streets, which has come down through three genera tions of the Peter Schermerhorn fam ily. The original lease made to Sam uel G. Smith has been renewed from year to year for the past century by the brokerage firm of William Crulk- shank's Sons. Will Create Precedent.
