S. Maddox, secretary of the chamber of commerce and food administrator for the city of Sacra mento. The word comes from D. C. Beers', a big cattleman of the south ern part of the state, who reports that unless proper grazing territory is found for his cattle within a short time there Is danger of serious loss. Maddox gave the word out to the public in the hope that it would reach land owners of northern California who had grazing lands available, and u-im would communicate with the chamber of commerce, offering reas onable terms along patriotic lines of helping to save the beef supply of the state. The matter Is also being taken up with the state council of defense that a speedy solution of the problem be reached and arrangements made for shipping the cattle north in case the lands can be found available. Out of 2,658 men of draft age who registered in Lane county, only 46 have failed to return their question naires which were sent out by the county draft board. It is believed by County Clerk S. M. Russell, who Is a member of the board, that a num ber of these men are now In the serv ice and did not receive their ques tionnaires, and it is thought that many are out of the Btate and their addresses are unknown. Most of the questionnaires that were not filled out and returned by the registrants were returned to the board by the postmasters at the offices to which they were mailed, Indicating that the registrants had left the places given as their addresses at the time they registered.

TRYING FOft ARMY WEIGHT Young Man Startles Restaurant Pa- trons When He Ravenously Gulps I Down Water and Food. The young man strolled Into a Sixth avenue restaurant of the better type and quietly gave his order. There was nothing conspicuous about his manner or appearance, but when the bus boy came along and the young man asked for, received, and drank four glasses of water In rapid succession, persons near by stared at him out of the whites of their eyes, so to speak. Presently the wuiter returned with a huge steak and about six types of vegetables. The yoUng man nsked for two glasses of water and proceeded to eat slowly. The water wns brought and drunk, and the young mnn cure fully devoured the vast supply of food before him. Then lie ordered chicken, with potatoes au gratln, and two glasses of water. Just when the now thoroughly Inter ested observers of this strange repast were on the verge of irritation from curiosity another young mnn strolled In and sat down disconsolately across from the first. "It's all off," said the newcomer; "no Flattsburg for me. I weigh 138 and I needed 161. Gosh, It seems as if I can never make anything." The first young mnn looked, at hlra Intently and thoughtfully. "I got oil my papers through," he said, "but I don't weigh in until three o'clock." He turned to the attentive waiter. "Will you please," he sald,""'brlng me an apple turnover, some rice pudding, a napoleon, and two cups of coffee." New York Herald. PERSHING KNOWS RED MEN Noted General Has Had Much Experi ence with Indians, and They Would Receive Welcome. "If a contingent of American Indi ans Is sent to France to fight for Uncle Sara against the central powers they will find a warm welcome from General Pershing," Col. J. A. George of South Dakota remarked recently, according to the Washington Post. "General Pershing hfts been a friend of the Indians for many years. He com manded a company of Sioux Indian scouts In the Sioux war of 1890-1801, and has lived among the red men for a good many years. "I happened to be at the Pine Ridge Indiun reservation In South Dakota during the winter of 1890-1891, when Pershing was a second lleutenunt. He participated In the battle of Wounded Knee and remnlned on the reservation for months after the surrender of the Indians, commanding the company of Sioux scouts. "In the summer of 1S91 Pershing received promotion to first lieutenant, while he wns at the head of the Sioux scouts. His brother, who was with him then, a kid boy, afterward be came an officer, but retired a few years later because of III health, while Black Jack went on to great things. "Of course, it would be silly for me to say that Pershing Is a first-class omcer, ior nis present position as head of the American forces In France proves that, but I may say that as far back as 1890 Pershing showed that he was destined to be come one of the great figures in the military history of this country." Vernacular of Cantonments. The American pollu is not going over seas unprovided with his own lingo, as is clearly pointed out In Every- Dody s. He calls himself, by the way, a "doughboy" or "crusher," which is fairly American-sounding. Cavalry men he calls "bow-legs," a soldier who shares his shelter Is his "bunkle," the company barber Is "butcher," a sol dier who works for an officer is a "dog rotiber, the commanding officer Is al luded to as "K O ;" a junior officer Is called a "gont," the provost sergeant Is a "hobo," a teamster is a "mule skin ner," an old officer Is called "old file," the drum-major 13 the "regimental monkey," the doctor Is "saw-bones." new seco;id lieutenant Is a "shavetull," new artillerymen are "wagon sol diers," and a trumpeter or bandsman is a "windjammer." And our dough boys nre like Tommy and pollu in that they never complain when the "slum," I. e., the meat or vegetable stew, or the "sow-belly," as the bacon Is called, are bad. It's all In the game the game of "Kan the kaiser" which Is the only American equivalent thus far of nuy of the French war slogans like "Us ne passeront pas," or "On les aura," "We'll get them," "They shall not pass." , Such a Plausible Lie. "I admire a liar," said a clubman, "even when his prevarications strain my credulity. "A friend of mIne,wh(Tobjectsfo efforts to pry Into his personal affairs recently limped Into my place. " 'What's the matter with your eetr I asked, more to be polite than h. cause I cared what was the trouble. "Then he gained my admiration by a display of nerve I never saw equaled. " 'An eel stepped on them he said." New War Dog. A new type of dog Is to be produced. It will be known as the war dog. The new breed Is the suggestion of Secre tary of War Baker, who has asked dog breeders to produce an American war dog by crossing Airedale an old English sheep dogs. The new Amerl can dog will be trained for police and gentry duty In the United States armj NURSE FORGOT PASSWORD Made Discovery That She Was Jabber. Ing French to Home Neighbor Who Was on Guard Duty. An American nurse "Somewhere In France," tells this story to friends back home. "I was feeling wornout and nervous one day, and asked the privilege of taking a walk In the fresh air. My re quest was granted, and getting the password, I started out with a younger' nurse for my companion. After enjoy ing a long walk we returned, but came to a sudden halt before a soldier on guard, who demanded, in French, that I give the password. I had forgotten It. It had not been given to the other nurse, so she could not help me out of my predlcnment. I used all the French at my command, trying to explain to him, nnd finally trying to argua with hlii'i that I must get back, password or no password. He argued, In the same language, and stoo8 his grounds. At last, tired out, angry with myself nnd with this wooden-faced, obstinate per son who blocked my way, I cried out, like a cross child : 'Ish Geblbble.' " "Instantly the wooden fuce changed to a very human, boyish fuce. The sol dier caught me by the shoulder and shook me soundly, exclaiming: 'Are you an American? Then why on enrth did you jabber all that stuff at me?" "'Why did you jabber back, In the same languaKeV I growled. " T thought I was the only American around here,' he laughed. "Then we compared notes, nnd found that we not only both hailed from good old U. S. A., but from the same big old city, and tlint his home had been on the next street back of my home street. Maybe you think that wasn't some re union! And maybe you think I didn't go walking again, with no need of re membering my password." ' GERMANS LACK THINKING MEN Despite Advanced Age of Many Prus sian Warriors They Have Little Comprehension of Situation. Germany In making a cnll for men up to forty-seven years of age has ta ken advantage of two more years above the conscription maximum of forty-five. Most individuals when they approach the fiftieth year have about concluded their fighting days through Inability to keep down their girth measure. But certain conditions In Germany, over which thnt country has had little control, have served, no doubt, to keep the human form within military bounds. Americans who go to France, therefore, are likely to have to fight babes in arms and old gentle men If the age limits ore stretched further under Prussian regulations, ob serves the Detroit Free Press. Perhaps, after all, this conscripting of men above forty-five will produce some effect In the ranks that may be useful toward letting light into dark places. The nrmy knows little of what Is going on In the world. If half of the seasoned soldiers really believe that London Is In ruins and the German fleet Is in control of the sea, they may learn something to their advantage by consulting a few of the old stagers who are compelled at this late date to join the colors. Men born In 1870 ought to be more difficult to deceive, and a few of such scattered through' the army may serve to enlighten the fighting multitude as to the error of their be lief. It is presuming much to expect results from this source, but if a man above forty-five is good for anything as a trench fighter, he ought to be good at shooting off his mouth. And, after all, what Germany lacks most Is more men who will talk and think. New Type of "Vampire." Arrest at the Instance of nn array officer of a young woman who had committed bigamy in order to secure the allowance granted to soldiers' de pendents gives color to the warning Issued against this new type of "vam pire," notes the Oniahn Bee. Young fiohliers are picked out by these wom en and deliberately led Into marriage, the one purpose being to secure money from the government. The game is not a new one, nor does it exhibit much modification in its details. It Is reported from some of the Southern army camps that as many as three and four soldiers have been wedded to the same womnn. The young men who are nway from home for the first time, wearing their country's uniform, should be wurned thnt mnrrlnge is not 1 merely nn enlistment for the war, nnd j therefore to be approached very seri ously. Romance is part of a soldier's I life, but It may have consequences thnt will embarrass him In nfter years. The "vampire" Is one of his chlefest dangers, nnd one against whom It Is difficult to guard. Japanese "Steel Queen" Retires.
