SUPPLY TRAIN
IN TOUCH WITH
FIGHTING LINT
LONDON, June 25.—The method of
feeding troops during a conflict of
many days is now so complete that
even in the most critical circum
stances the supply train is in constant
touch with the fighting line. If com
munications chance to be cut tempor
arily each man can rely upon his emer
gency rations carried in his haversack
and which he is forbidden to consume
until he receives the order.
Of this emergency ration, consisting
usually of bully beef, biscuit, tea and
sugar, the sugar is not the least im
portant, as it is not only a nourishing
food but an excellent stimulant to 1
men suffering from exhaustion. In the
event of a retreat, troops subsist very
largely upon what is known as the
Maconochie ration, a meat and vege
table stew packed in cans and easily
prepared for consumption.
The majority of the men are reg
ularly fed from the traveling field
kitchen, marvelously ingenius, which
cooks food while in motion. It can
bake or boil for 250 men and is in
charge of regimental cooks under the
command of the quartermaster, who
must keep in close touch with the
transport officer of his corps, who
In turn has to bring suplies from the
train headquarters.

GERMANS BREAK PROMISE
AS TO ENEORCED LABOR
AMSTERDAM, June 24.—From a
letter of protest addressed by the Bel
gian deputies and senators to the
German Governor-General in Belgium,
It appears that forced labor is being
applied more severely than ever be
fore to the civil population, in spite
of the promises made a year ago.
The adult male population having
been ethausted, the Germans are now
recruiting old men and boys. The let
ter of protest gives the names of 265 i

foung boys from one city who are em
ployed in unloading freight cars only
i few miles behind the front. All
these boys are under 16, and some of
:hem are only 11 years old.
On a single day, the letter says, 250
ild men over 50 years were taken
from the same district. On their jour
ley to the front they were locked in

PflRUAMENT
KEIGHLEY, England, May 6 (by
mail).—The first woman candidate for
Parliament, Miss Nina Boyle of the
Voters’ League, has been refused a
nomination on the ground that each
of the two nomination papers handed
in ^by her contained the name of a
man whose name does not appear on
the Keighley register.
Previously Miss Boyle appeared be
fore the returning officer who stated
he had received instructions from the
sheriff to admit her nomination with
out question provided it was properly
signed, so that her rejection appears
to be the result of a stranger’s name
appearing on tho paper.
Miss Boyle said that she considered
that a “moral triumph” had been
achieved for women, as she had been
informed that her nomination would
ordinarily have been accepted.
“While I have been disappointed,”
she continued, “that a fluke of this
kind prevented actual nominati n, it
matters little, for if accepted I had
decided to withdraw. My purpose in
coming to Keighley was simply to test
our right to nomination. My tost has
been successful.
“Unless Parliament decides the
question of women entering the House
of Commons, it will mean that many
women will secure nominations and,
if elected, there will be an illimitable
number of election petitions against
their return, bringing confusion in its
train.”
