SPANISH STEAMER
IS U-BOAT VICTIM
—
Hun Submarine Again Sink* Another
Spanish Ship; Dons May Be
Forced to Declare War.
PARIS.—The Spanish ship Alex
andrine was torpedoed and sunk by
a German submarine. The date of
the sinking or the position of the
ship at the time she was sunk is
not reported, nor is it known whether
the crew were rescued.
These persistent sinkings of Span
ish vessels by German submarines
have roused the Spanish people to
a high state of resentment and it is
thought highly probably that diplo
matic relations between Spain and
Germany will be severed in the near
future.

Behind the British Lines in France
—The importance of the kitchen de
partment of the army cannot be
overrated, for if men are to work
hard and efficiently they must be
decently fed. For this reason the
“King’s Regulations" provide that it
is the first duty of every command
ing officer to see that the soldier’s
meals are “property and sufficiently
provided.” It is further ordered
that an officer must inspect the
kitchens and cookhouses every day,
while the same officer must visit the
barrack rooms and messtcnts during
breakfast, dinner and supper hours
to find out if there is any cause
for complaint.
The kitchen establishment of a
British army varies widely under
different circumstances. At gairi
son centers in France, the cook
house is a large building shared
by several units, and is under the
charge of the sergeant chef, who has
been through a special course in
military cooking. It is his duty to
superintend persooaHy all cooking
done in the regimental cookhouse.
Each unit, in its turn, has a chief
cook who is responsible fo” all meals,
of his unit
If a stay at a particular spot
house is a thing of mushroom growth.
When a unit is on the march the
simplest method of constructing a
temporary kitchen is to place a
number of kettles on the ground in
two parallel rows, block the leeward
end of the passage thus formed with
another kettle and light a fire in
this improvised trench. As soon as
the fire has been started, one or
two rows of kettles can be placed
on top of those already in position.
If the stay at a aparticular spot
is likely to be for any appreciable
length of time, a good field kitchen
is improvised by digging a narrow
trench for the fires, and placing
kettles above this. Sometimes a
chimney is built of sods.
For a stay of three or four days,
regular “field ovens” are construct
ed. An arch of sheet iron is erected
and on top of this a layer of clay
is piled. With this oven it is pos
sible to give the men roast meat
for dinner as often as the joints
are forthcoming from the supply
column. Enough bread to feed a
whole battery can be baked in one
of these ovens.
