CHEVY CHASE, Md., May St. The
most Important thing In the history of tho
feminine "rookies' " camp happened today
It was an Invasion by German measles.
It, they, or them, whatever measles are
or Is, 'descended upon the camp without
preliminary skirmishing and caused general
alarm. There was a quick scurrying about
for mirrors and close Inspections of faces.
A roundup of tho camp after tho "battle"
showed that only one soldlereno had fallen
in the attack Miss Whlttaker, of Boston.
A rumor was spread that the camp may
be quarantined, but as this Is not official
there Is hope.
In addition to tho measles there were
other "casualties." Miss Ellen Newbold,
of Philadelphia, and Mrs. W. U nightcr. of
Plalnfleld, N. J., were attacked with colds.
They were removed from the field of battle
temporarily and taken to "Washington In a
limousine to tho homo of Mlsa Eudora
Clover until the weather Is better. Miss
Clover has been given tho rank of captain,
and Is sharing the commandant's tent.
Miss Hnrrlett Hackett suffered a Bpralnod
anklo and was sent home and Mrs. Carl
Williams la suffering from blistered feet.
To add to the general gloom It has been
raining for two days. If It continues, this
place will be called the Chevy Chase naval
station Instead of Chevy Chase military
camp.
Many of tho soldterenes are suffering
from wlgwagltls. It crops out at all times.
Tho victim makes grotesque motions with
arms and queer sounds like a mother sing
ing a lullaby to a grouchy baby.
The "disease" cannot be checked until
noxt Monday, when tho examinations take
place. Those who pass the crisis success
fully will be given certificates pronouncing
them cured.
That many of tho students havo much to
learn was evident today when a girl was
found knitting a queer contrivance which
looked llko a pen wiper. She told one prl
vato that It was a Jacket to boll potatoes
In. It appears that she heard the Instructor
In' dietetics announce that all potatoes
should be cooked In jackets.
Company C has a surprise In store for
the camp on Friday night in the shape of a
vaudeville show. Tho acts will concern sub
jects In which tho audience at Chevy Chase
will bo specially Interested.
-Ainong others who will do stunts will be
Sergeant Josephine Foster. Miss Suzanne
Levlck, Miss Emllio Hurt. Miss Betty Der
cum. Miss Kath'erlne Field, Miss Caroline
English and. Miss Josephine Hayden, of
Philadelphia.
An ominous warning was contalhed In ft
statement this morning of Senor Manuel
Pcralto, secretary to the San Satvador
consulate In New fork, who said that his
countrymen as a whole and other Latin
American republics xvere opposed to tho ex
peditionary force operating in Mexico.
This was not due to any particular
friendliness for Mexico, but It was rather
that the presence of any United States
troops In foreign American soil caused un
easiness and hostility, he explained,
"Uut what can wo do?" he said, sitting
In tho lobby of the Bellevue-Stratford. "If
your country wants to send troops Into
Mexico, there Is no way for the ronubl cs
to prevent It. The United States la too
strong! It could crush any of the small na
tions Individually and perhaps all of them
collectively, we do not like the Mexicans
they are Ignorant, ot a very low typo, and
there Is a great deal of poverty ainong
them. On the other hand, San Salvador Is
a wealthy nation. Mexico Is considered n
long way from our country, nnd so we do
not bother much with Mexican troubles.
Sonor Peralto was asked If It were not
possible to show tho republics that tho cause
of this country was Just and that It was
necessary to send the troops Into Mexico.
"Perhaps It might bo done," he said
slowly nnd hesitatingly. "But It will tako
a long time, and oven then I do not think
all tho people can be won over to such a
belief."
Captain Uoraclo Ozuela, of the Argentine
navy, who Is at tho Hotel Walton, reported
differently for his nation, but said that tho
opinion of the mass of the pcopto was diffi
cult to determine, especially ns It wns two
months slnco ho had been there. Ho said
that tho Nation, the principal newspaper,
which was published nt Buenos Aires, had
editorially commended the expedition Into
Mexico, but ho added that It was doubtful
If this reflected thiS sentiment of the major
ity of Argentinians.

headquarters. ,
Since the beginning of" the Austro-Itallan

soldiers and German guns were aiding tho
Auatrlans, but" there has been no offlclat

Imahtin cowdery, king op culinary
j .j artists, dead and epicures mourn
' famous Negro Chef, Caterer for City's Elite, Dies at Ad
vanced. Age Noted Far and Wide for
r '
' Martln-Cowdery Is dead, and blue-blooded
arid epicurean Philadelphia mourns his
taking off. For nearly three generations
of Ajsoembly and Benedicks' balls none of
the. social elite graced those exclusive af
fairs without visions of the terrapin a la
Cowdery that was always the chef d'oeuvre
oTtha midnight supper In the old Academy
foyer.' It was' as much a concomitant of
those; midwinter affairs as tho time-honored
ballroom scene from "La Travlata" which
fanned the stage background. And It was
far more appealing to the majority of those
attendjng- thaa their birthright membership
in' the Assembly Itself.
Cowdery and terrapin were synonymous.
That Is- terrapin that was terrapin, cooked
and served as that royal dish should be
Placed before Lucullean palates. Price,
ProBser, Augustine they were as shadowy
ib's hei-debut of that ballroom setting, but
Cowdery and his terrapin wera living, vital,
anV-their joint presence alone assured a
never-to-be-forgotten gastronomlcal memory.
, HELD CULINARY SCEPTRE.
-JFop 4S years' Assembly, Benedicks', Bal
Jfaqquo had regarded Cowdery and his
terrapin aa a "sine qua non." In that long
period Martin had been Intimately known,
through their stomachs, to every Philadel
phia bon vlvant At their weddings, In
their club dinners, even when they slipped
.Away to Bar Harbor, Newport, Palm
Bejyjj.' or to foreign climes, their jaded
palatea refused to be appeased without the
turraptn as it Issued, under Cowdery's
preparation from Ma own secret formula,
fjt f pc royal appetite. It was no uncommon
occurrence for that terrapin, carefully
guarded against tiie perils of the long
Journey, to make the voyage to London or
Wiris, in response to the appeal of some
hbmeaiek Phlladelphian whose hunger
patriotically resisted the best skill of
lh)gj?h cook or French 'bialtre de cuisine.
Cowdery, through his terrapin, became
famoua beyond the bounds of this his.
adopted city, but the weight of years told
yVHy upon him and yesterday he died
h-I tils home, 1720 P Lancey place, after
n illneaa of two months. He was on the
inJo of fourscore, five decades of which
tod .teMsri devoted to catering. Forty-five
- jtur had lived in that house, right in
Jtw mUni, at the mora palatial residence
"Terrapin a la Cowdery"
of his patrons, and to whom he was better
known than many of their white neighbors.
WAS 78 YEARS OLD.
For Cowdry, like so many of his trade,
was a negro. Born more than 78 years ago
In Virginia, he boro the name of President
Martin Van Buren, In whoso service his
father had been for many years, He came
to Philadelphia at the close of the Civil
War, and ja first employer was Morton
McMlchael, later Mayjr of Philadelphia.
It was through Mr, McMlchael's financial
assistance that the young Cowdery was en
abled to set up In business for himself.
His fame rapidly spread and it was not
long before he had dislodged tho other kings
of the kitchen from their thrones and had
assumed the culinary sceptre. Coupled
with his, skill, a modesty of manner gained
him favor and It was not long before the
slight, llght-sktnned figure, with Its whiten
ing mustache, was yoted indispensable to the
success of any feast that made pretension to
proper and sufficient regard to the educated
taste's of those who partook of It.
FUNERAL ON FRIDAY.
As Cowdery grew older, his son, Martin,
Jr., assisted him In the conduct of his bust
ness, Four other sons survive their father,
who,e funeral will be held on Friday from
Cherry Memorial Baptist Church. 16th and
Christian streets, of which old Martin was
one of the pioneer supporters.
'The Rev. William Harrod will conduct
the service and the Interment will be mads
at Merlon Cemetery. Martin will be
mourned by many of his race, but his death
will cause expressions, of regret from thou
sands of Philadelphia's "first families" as
of an old and faithful servitor who served
them and their fathers before them long
and well.
TRENTON, N. J., May 24. Reversing
tho Atlantic County Common Picas Court,
the Supreme Court today decided that an
employer cannot bo held responsible for tho
,doath of an employe when his demise ro
sults from some peculiar or extraordinary
situation.
"Tho accident." Justice Samuel Kalisch
says, in his opinion, "must not only nrlso In
tho course of the employment, but also out
of tho employment."
This decision wns rendered In tho appeal
to tho Supreme Court by tho Wclsbrod &
Hess Browing Company from tho judgment
won by tho widow ot Eugene IC. Schmolz,
of Atlantic City. Tho widow wns awurded
$10 per week for 300 weeks under the work

WASHINGTON. May 24. Permanent
trenches aro to bo built along the-Panama
Canal for use by the American forces In
caso an Invading nrmy over attempts to
ianci on me isthmus.
It became known today that General
Clarence R. Edwards, In a memorandum
aubmltted to tho War Department, has out
lined completely whero and how the trenches
are to bo built.
"The experlcnco of tho French along their
northern and eastern frontiers Is more than
enough to convince ua of the value nnd posi
tive necessity of taking effoctlvo and thor
ough measures in tlmo of peaco to resist
an Invading force," the memorandum says.
"The present war has demonstrated that
forts such as those at Liege, Namur, Metz
and V.erdun aro no longer ns efficacious In
stopping the enemy ns aro well-constructed
Infantry trenches. If, previous to tho war,
the French had prepared such trenches as
they now hold along tholr northern nnd
eastern frontiers, It Is probable that French
territory would not now bo occupied by
German troops."
The memorandum further says that It Is
"especially Important that tho lands cast
and west of tho Atlantic entrance be se
cured at once and that tho work already
begun bo continued nnd extended ns rapidly
as possible."
With that land and the areas adjoining
the present cnnal zone In tho hands of any
other Power, It was pointed out, tho canal
could not bo held In case of attack from
land.
To guard against troops landing easily at
elthor end of the canal, out of range of the
big gun fortifications at tho entrances, the
plan proposes a vast system of underwater
wire entanglements. An entire army di
vision, comprising about 22,000 men, in ad
dition to the coast artillery troops to man
the batteries at either end of the canal, Is
recommended as necessary for tho defense
of tho canal zono.
