AREBIGEATERS
)jCooks at"Hotel of Peace Dele
gation Amazed at Their
Appetites
Paris. March 26.—Cooks at the
(hotel where the .hundreds of Ameri
icans connected with the Peace Oon
[ferenee are staying are amazed at
[the appetites of the Americans. The
[American breakfast upset all calcu
lations in the French hotel accustom
ied to supplying guests with rolls and
[coffee as an early morning meal.
'"Wild calls for ham and eggs, beef
isteaks, chops, oatmeal and hot cakes
[surprised the French cooks, who,
(after weeks of catering to the hun
gry Americans, have not become rec
'onctled to the American breakfast
(menu.
The American fondness for hors
.d'oeuvres also caused consternation.
Great dishes of beet pickle, potato
salad, sardines, cold slaw and other
relishes .served as a preliminary to
the conventional French dinner, dis
appear so rapidly that it has been
necessary to employ many additional
cooks to prepare delicacies of this
sort. Americans, help themselves so
freely to this initial course that they
'frequently have little appetite for the
• soup, fish and other dishes which
tfollow.
As the hotel kitchen can draw on
• army supplies for its food, the Amer
icans have many delicacies not avail
able generally in Paris cafes. Ices,
ice cream and pastry made with real
.•sugar are offered to the peace dele
jgation. In most. Paris hotels and
jcafes saccharine is used for such
[purposes, and even for sweetening
[coffee. The hotel whero the Amerl
[cans stay also has an abundance of
(•white flour and genuine white bread.
[Elsewhere in Paris the bread is dark,
innrt even pastry, when available, is
tmade from brown flour.

Steel Orders For
Orient Picking Up
New York. March 26.—Two fac
tors are expanding the exportation
of American steel to the Orient. In
the first place, the steel price re
visions are helping to brighten the
outlook for trans-Paciflc orders. But
even more important is the fact that
shipping rates to the Far East are
being cut heavily.
Already 50,000 tons of rails and
a like quantity of steel plates are
under order in this country for de
livery at Oriental ports. A demand
for rails is reported in Russia and
for finished goods in Japan. British
estimates place the capacity of the
United States at forty-eight million
tons of steel, this production making
an export of eight to ten million
tons possible to foreign countries.
A great factor in American steel
shipments to the Orient is the re
duction of ocean freight rates. The
first of the year, for instance, we
lost an order for 2,500 tons of ship
plates to England because with a
rate of $6O a tons to Shanghai,
American steel could not compete
with British on the Chinese mar
kct
The revision of rate schedules to
the Far East makes it possible to
law down American billets in the
Orient at $69.50 by utilizing the
Panama route while British billets
cannot be delivered tinder $72.50.
Says Future Human
Race Is Up to Women
l.oixlon. Mar. 26. There are. one
and a half million women in this
country who will never have the
chance of getting married, is the
statement of tyiss Norah March, edi
tor of National Health. In 1917 there
was a surplus of 1,.",37,000 marriage
able women over marriageable men.
and since then there have been the
war casualties of 1919.
Miss Mareh says that emigration
will remove A few of these surplus
women while economic independence
will prevent women from marrying
men for the sake of a home.
"Many men and women in this age
|of modern advancement," says Miss
March, "are getting different views
from those held in the past, and re
gard women's right to motherhood as
a supreme individual prerogative.
Having such a wide choice of wives,
the question remains as to whether
the men will choose the best and
strongest women, as upon the women
will depend largely the future human
race, since the best of manhood has
been cut ofT. The choice really rests
with the woman for with her is the
right of refusing an offer of mar
riage."

Peking, March 26.—The headquar
ters of the American Expeditionary
Force in China has issued a new or
der that may result in a number of
American soldiers who have served
four years remaining in China to
take up civilian work. Discharges
have already been made from the

positions in the consular service. The
new order reads as follows:
"Organization and detachment
commanders will submit to these
headquarters (15th Infantry) a re
port of all enlisted men who have
completed four years' service in this
enlistment who desire discharge to
remain in China with a view of
obtaining employment. The Amer

employment for good men who wish
to remain. Men must be of good
character and morals, and shall be
recommended as such in the report.
It should also contain the positions
which each man could fill, and his
qualifications."
DANIELS PRAISES
CAMP AT BREST
Secretary of Navy, After Inspection of French Debarka
tion Port, Says He Sees No Room
For Criticism
By Associated Press.
II rent, Monday, March 21.—'Secre
tary of the Navy Daniels, after his
investigation of camp conditions at
Brest, gave the Associated Press the
following statement:
"I have spent a portion of two
rainy days in the camp at Pontane
zen, and it rains 330 days out of the
year here. X have seen more than
50,000 American troops encamped
her waiting for embarkation home,
and have conferred with scores of
officers and many men just from the
front.
"This morning X walked for miles
on a solid boardwalk from tent to
tent in which the marines are quart
ered and in tlie wooden barracks,
where the soldiers sleep. X visited
the modern kitchens and dining
rooms and saw where dinner for 5,r
000 marines was prepared in one of
the twelve kitchens. This large
number is fed in forty minutes and
just as many are fed in the eleven
other kitchens.
Ate With Soldiers
"I sat upon the beds of the sol
diers, and ate my midday meal with
them. The meal was well cooked,
palatable and plentiful and tasted as
good as any meal I ever ate in my
life. The midday meal consisted of
a large helping of good roast beef,
mashed potatoes, stewed carrots,
rich meat grdvy, bread pudding with
raisins, two large slices of white
bread and a large cup of coffee. Over'
the entrance of each of the dining
halls is a large sign in French
which freely translated means that
you can have as much food as you
want and go home right away. Few
asked for a second helping, for the
first helping was more than most of
the soldiers could eat at one time.
"I noticed a few rosy-faced young
chaps who came for another helping
just as they had been accustomed to
do with the food that mother used
to serve them.
Kager to Get Home
"The soldiers were happy when I
told them that Rear Admiral Hal
stead had just received a message
that the first of the German trans
ports to carry American troops
home had been commissioned with a
navy crew and that others would fol
low, the navy personnel already hav
ing, arrived on this side to man
them. It heartened them to know
that in the harbor of Brest was th.
mighty Leviathan ready to carry
twelve thousand soldiers home and
that four battleships were being
coaled preparatory to taking soldiers
back home.
"The bigness of Pontanezen camp
is hard to understand until you see
thci tented and barracked covered
city. Speaking of tents, X went into
a score of them. Not a drop of wa
ter can fall Into any of them. The
tents are well drained and each one
has "a stove and is warm and com
f CENTRAL HIGH NOTES
V
Pllilonian Banco Coming
The Philonian Debating Society
was entertained this week by Ar
thur Hibler, 1624 North Second
stree.t On account of the proximity
of the big Philonian Dance, most
of the evening was taken up ,with
business matters pertaining to tlie
dance. In the absence of vice-presi
dent Stuart Wagner, who is chair
man of tlie invitation committee,
Robert W. Crist, vice-chairman of
the committee, made an extensive
report on the work that this com
mittee, made an extensive report on
the work that this committee has
been doing.. All arrangements for
the printing and sending of Hie
bids lias been completed, and the
committee plans to arrange for tlie
programs the later part of the week.
Lewis K. Rimer, chairman of tlie
arrangements committee, announced
that there had been a slight change
in the arrangements for the hall,
but this matter will not interfer
with the success of the dance. Fol
lowing the business meeting, the
following members sat down to a
late lunch; Clyde Hooker, Robert
Crist, Gilchrist Brininger, Carl
Stoner, Milton Potts, Frederick
Snyder, Alton Smith, Richard Quig
ley, George Pulas, Harold Connor,
Lewis Rimer and Arthur Hibler. The
next meeting will be held at the
home of Lewis K. Rimer, 2239 Penn
street.
Pllilonian Man Honored
The announcement of the winners
of the Lamberton Oratorical Con
test showed that the Philonian De
bating Society again had the honor
to have one of its members among
those who won prizes in this con
test. Lewis K. Rimer is one of the
winners of the oratorical contest,
and he is also a prominent member
of the Philonian. He also has the
distinction of being the present
president of the Senior Class, and
at the same time holds the import
ant position of Business Manager of
the Argus. The P. D. S. was hon
ored not long ago by having five
of its members on the school debat
ing teams.
Glee Clubs I
In former years Central has al
ways had four large, well-trained
glee clubs which could be counted
on to take part in every entertain
ment or contest that the school had
in charge, but this year, owing to
the re-organization of the school
under the prlncipleship of Professor
Severance, and the set-back that
the school had during the flu epi
demic, the glee clubs have not held
the same prominent place in the
school life of the students. Although
it is a late date to reorganize these
clubs, the Seniors, both boys and
girls, have decided to get together
again in order to prepare for the
comihg Lamberton oratorical con
test. Professor Edgar G. Rose, in
structor of music, has signified his
desire to train the clubs as soon as
they reorganise, and the student
body may expect to have two well
trained musical organizations take
part in the Lamberton contest.
Both clubs have planned to get
together as soon as sessions change.
Who Is the Best?
Who is the best speaker in Cen
tral? That is the question that has
been in the conversation of every
group of students since the winners
of the Lamberton oratorical con
test have been announced. Four
Senior boys have been selected
from their class as having written
the best orations on "The Life of
Daniel Boone," and the coming
oratorical contest will prove which
boy in the school is the real Demos
thenes. The date for the contest
has not been announced, but it will
fortable. The men come and go by
the thousands. It is a city of move
ment, certainly as far as the popu
lation is concerned.
"As an illustration of the magni
tude of its operations as many as
eight thousand trooiw are received
some days and as many as seven
teen thousand are embarked in a
single day. Twelve thousand- will
embark on Wednesday on the He
viathan alone.
"1 do not know which to commend
the highest, the spirit of the sailors
who patriotically remain In the na
val service in order to bring these
soldiers back when good positions
invite them to civilian life or the re
turning soldiers, the heroes of hard- I
fougiit battles, whose courage and
sacrifice helped so much to pre
serve the liberty and civilization ot
the world. They are brothers in val
or and in cheerfulness.
"The outstanding impression 1
brought with me out of the rainy
days at Pontanezen is the buoyant
and cheerful spirit of the fifty thou
sand men I saw in camp there.
"In two trips over the camps here
I walked about while it was raining,
but fifty miles of boardwalk made it
possible to 'visit all parts of the
camp tiithout inconvenience. Every
man in camp has a bunk, mattress
and five blankets. Every tent is
squared by wooden framing and has
a wooden floor and stove, X found
lan ample supply of fuel available
for all the stoves in the camp. I
found bathing facilities sufficient to
give each man in camp two baths a
week and laundry facilities ample
for clean underwear twice a week.
No lioom For t'rltncism
"I found twelve amusement places
in operation which last week enter
tained 130,000 men. I found the va'
ter supply ample. I can see no rea
son for criticism of this camp, but
more to praise than in any camp I
have visited in the United States. I
found the embarkation facilities am
! pie and above criticism. I found the
camp well lighted and saw the be
ginning of operations for a com-
Iplete lighting system.
| "I wish to congratulate the War
Department on the ability of Major
General E. A. Hedmick, who is the
commanding general of the base
section of the A. E. F. He has ex
ecutive ability, vision and discipline
with sympathy. The commanding
general of the camp is Brigadier
General Smedley D. Butler. He, is
a steam engine in breeches and his
work here is monumental.
"If the mothers of America could
have been with me yesterday and
to-day they would have been happy
that their sons have such leaders.
What the generals have done is only
equalled by the excellent service of
Admiral Halstead and the naval per
sonnel in charge of naval operations
on the coast of France."
he held just as soon as Miss Anna
bel Swartz, who has the boys in
her hands for training, thinks that
they have perfectly mastered their
orations. The fact that the orations
are the work of the boys them
selves makes the contest all the
more interesting. "Who will win?"
is what every student is asking his
neighbor.
Editors Busy
Every sub-editor on the Argus
staff is working with all his might
to get his column ready lor the big
issue of the Argus at commence
ment time. The Observation edi
tors, Miss Ivathryn Wharton, Wil
liam K. Mcßride and Robert W.
Crist, have been collecting their
material for the joke column from
different members of the Senior
class, and much up-to-the-minute
material has already been handed
in by the students. Lists of class
statistics are now in the hands of
the business sections of the school
for printing and will be placed in
the hands of the Seniors at the final
election. The editors are especially
busy now, us the next Argus is due
to be in the hands of the printer
within tlie next two weeks. A call
has been made to the Junior class
for students who wish to try out for
next year s Argus staff. Much of
tlie material appearing in the next
| Argus will be tlie work of these
prospective editors.

us worthless are expected to aggre
gate not more than $3,000,000. It
has not been possible to estimate the
amount necessary to settle contract
claims, because inventories of ex
penditures for material and labor on
ships which will not be completed
have not been made. A total of
more than $100,000,000 in contracts
has been -cancelled, but in many in
stances work had not begun.
The shipbuilders were frank in
stating that the decision of the
Shipping Board to confine its fu
ture construction to steel vessels
meant that at least 98 per cent, of
the facilities for building -wooden
ships would be useless in the fu
ture. Vessels now on the ways will
not be completed, orders having
been given to finish only the hulls,
which probably will be used as
barges. According to figures given
at the meeting, there are now 170
wooden ships for which machinery
lis not available. They will be con
verted into barges or schooners.

Wages in Salt Hake City and Utah
have increased 16 per cent, since
1916, according to a survey of the

in 1916 cost $l5 it now costs $15.95,

TURKS KILLING
MANY GREEKS
Loot and Massacre Population
South of the Black
Sea
London, March 26.—Information
received here from Batum indicate
that, despite the surrender of. the
Turkish forces, the position of the
Greeks south of the Black Sea and JC
the Caucasus is tragic.
it is alleged that outrages are be
ing committed by the demobilized
but still armed Turkish reservists
and that the Young Turk command
er, General Halid Pasha, has been
pursuing a policy of systematic ex
termination of Christians.
This officer who is a friend of Enver
Pasha, is said to be suplying arms
to Turkish irregulars in the Rus
sian territories evacuated by the
Turkish army. J.ately' he received
from Turkish sources 200 carloads
of arrps and munitions.
It is charged that these reservists
and irregulars loot and massacre the
Greek population.
