SIX THE MAUI NEWS, FRIDAY, OCTOBER 11, 1918. Camp Making In Mud OfFrancelsNo Fun But Records In Big Accomplishment Are Being Broken In Other Ways Than Fighting Personal Impressions By A Correspondent AMERICAN PORT, WESTERN FRANCE, Sopt. 15 ('onvsponl-np of The Associated Tress. LonR lines of khaki-clad men just embarked from American transport and now ou the way to their first camp, packed the streets from curb to curb and stretched away for miles. It was four miles and up bill most of the way- tlu-oimh city, suburbs, and country lanes, from the sea-front to the great reception camp located outside the town, one of the largest camps in the world and capable of curing lor the population of a metropolitan city.

Hour after hour from 6 this morning until late this afternoon the steady tramp of marching thousands had been going on, for this steady stream is the army of 36,000 just arrived on thirteen American transports, making the record debarkment from ship to camp within twelve hours. With Major the engineer officer of the camp, we skirted alongside this moving stream, from the landing to the camp, and had an opportunity of seeing each stage in the huge movement up to the time the tired marchers pitched their shelter tents on the soaked grounds and crawled inside to sleep. Stirring aa it. was to se9 these men come to swell the million men in the American ranks, yet there was a grimness and grayness to the scene suggesting the stern reality of war. A steady downpour swept across the ranks and the men were dripping as they trudged through the rain-soaked mud.

They were at route step, -without the regularity of parading troops, and each man carried, beside his rifle, all his belongings on his back, 70 pounds of tent, blankets, clothing, shoes, and all the miscellan-ous equipment of a soldier headed for the front. Their last camp was in the well-equipped cantonments in the Unit ed States, where they slept on cots and had a semblance of modern comfort. Now they were on the war-swept soil of France and had seen the last of cots and comforts. It was their first glimpse of real war conditions, and anyone who says it is cheerful shuts his eyes to the grimness of war. "There are more troops arriving," said the Mayor as he led the way, "than the total strength of the United States army a short time ago." And with such an influx we have to provide a very elastic camp, capable of immediate expansion from a thousand up to hundred thousand men." The Major was well qualified to explain the magnitude of the work, for he had been chief constructing engineer of the New York subway system, had planned and built a good part of the system, and had made the population figures on which subway construction was based.

"To get an idea of the camp," he said, "compare it with Central Park. We have 2,500 acres here, Central Park has 800 acres. Why, the entire area of New York City on Manhattan Island is only 41,000 acres." On both sides of the road, for mile after mile as we sped along in an army car, a city of tents was rising and there was the hum and bustle of camp activity on a vast scale. This morning all the ground had been stubble- field from the newly cut wheat and burley. But now every available foot was being laid off by the army engineers, working with tripods and Instruments like a party of surveyors.

Tented streets and avenues, headquarters tents, mess, kitchen and hospital tents, and vast parks for supplies and artillery and horses, were rising in tho fields aw' spreading for forty square miles over this huge enclosure. "We never take a field of growing said the Major, "but as fast as the grain is cut we take over the fields, and with harvest time well advanced this entire farming section will soon be turned into an American camp." In one of (he fields where we stopped to see the men, two battalions of 800 men each, just marched in and were preparing to pitch their tents. The great stretch of ploughed ground, just cleared of grain, was rain-soaked, and the storm had set in for the night. The men stood ready, each with a halt of a shelter tent, to drive the stakes and lash it against the i elements, and then crawl In. It seemed an endless wait for all the formalities of laying out the camp with engineering exactness, yet all of this was essential to the smooth running of such a large concern.

At last the stakes were driven and soon the great fit-Id was (lotted with thousands of little khaki mounds, about as high as a man's waist, called "pup tents" by the soldiers probably because they look like dog houses. Under the tent there is just room for two lying down, and if the ground is soaked as it Is tonight, the rubber paunoh.i keeps out tome of lie water and kindly nature and the iron of youth must do the rest. This was only one typical camp of the hundreds lining the roads for miles in this vast reception camp. Field kitchens and water carts were wheeling up td all the camps as the tents went up. Filtered water is brought in hogs-heads and each command has its apportioned lot of hog-heads.

Later on there will be a splendid bystem of water mains for the whole camp. But here are the men, and a water system is not installed in a day. So Instead of waiting for 12- Maui Library May Be Taken By Territory Effort To Be Made To That End In Next Legislature Becomes Free Library In Any Event After This Year After January 1, 1919, the Maul Library is to be a free library to all resident of the county. This is the sense of a resolution adopted last Monday night by the members of the Maul Library Association, which was attended as well by a number of patrons of the institution not members. Concurrent with the above decision it was decided that stops shall be taken to secure from the next legislature an appropriation sufficient to maintain the library.

Two methods by which this maintenance may be accomplished were discussed. One is that the Wailuku library be made a branch of the Library of Hawaii, and the other that it maintain as at present a separate entity, supported, however, by the territory. The fact that the territory at pres ent expends some $30,000 a year for maintaining the Library of Hawaii, of which Honolulu is the only part of the territory benefitted to any extent warrants the assumption that other parts of the territory should receive recognition in like kind. At present the Maui Aid Association is paying the salary of the librarian, while the fees from membership subscriptions are spent in buying new books. But the burden is heavy on all concerned and the results not any too satisfactory.

At the eame time the idea of doing without a lib rary is not to be considered, accord ing to those interested in the work. Maui Man Gets 3 Years On White Slavery Charge The parlies in the following case: reported in Tuesday's Star-Bulletin, were until recently residents of the Kuiaha homestead district: "Manuel Vincent a Forluguose, was today sentenced to three and one-half years' imprisonment by Federal Judge Vaughan following his plea of guilty to violating the Mann white slave act in transporting his sister-in-law from Hawaii to Honolulu for immoral purposes. "He was rentenred to three years on the two counts of violating the Mann act and six months on one count of adultery. The sentences are to run concurrently. "The woman was Minnie Gindeen, age 13, the sister of Vincent's wife.

The girl came to live at his house and he fell in love with her. He left his wife and six children and fled 'o Honolulu where he was apprehended upon complaint of his wife's father." NOME, Alaska. Sop: ember Residents of the Seward Peninsula of Alaska, one of the far northwestern parts of the United States, assert they have contributed an average of $81 dollars each to war work. inch mains, the primitive hogshead Is filling the gap. Each man carries his emergency ration for three days.

Some of them were nibbling it before climbing into their pup tents, but most of them waited for the smoking field kitchen to get into action with its cooks, serving out hot coffee and hot soup and meat. The Item of feeding an army with precision is in Itself a gigantic task. "We served 1,800,000 meals last month," said Major "or 600,000 army rations of three meals to the ration." And besides all the feeding and watering and sanitation there Is the immense "paper work" of such an organization. There are 128 separate organizations in the 36,000 men just arrived. Each of the 128 must be sorted out and brought together, and every individual soldier of the 36,000 must be indentified and accounted for, so as to guard against losses, and then each organization and man must have his detail to one of the sectors of the fighting front.

This "paper work," as it is called, is prodigious, and like everything military it must be done with absolute precision. And the paper work calls for paper, which is very hard to get. "When Headquarters called for a map of the uunip the other day," said the Major, "they got it all right, on only paper which could be found, which was brown wrapping paper. But it was a good map, and the wrapping paper maps of the hi.u Am. 'Wean camp will go into the archives." When taps sounded tonight every man of this 36.0(H) under canvas, although tills morning every man had been afloat.

It was the "record accomplishment in landing, for while one body of arrivals bad been large, 42,000, the landing had taken the best part of two days, whereas this hugh transfer was in the daylight hours of the first day. "And right on top of said the General tonight, "one ship is arriving with 12,000 more men and then an other ilotilla of transports and than another." Thus this gigantic influx of armed men goes on steadily and unceasingly. on record time, with little or no con fusion, each man and organization being cared for and accounted for as they move forward to the front, and all of the huge enterprise ot docking, landing, transporting and camping, with all their infinite details, created out of practically nothing within the last ten months.

BY MAUI WOMEN A Department Of Domestic Economy Intended To Serve A Patriotic Purpose In Conserving Food Needed By The Allied Armlet In Europe FAIR PRICE LISTS This little housewife went to market. This little one stayed home. This little housewife watched the Fair Price List, And this little housewife had none, Then, says the wise housewife "I must have The finger pigs of nursery rhyme aptly demonstrates the condition of the housewives of the present day. Housewives should learn to read the Fair Price List as faithfully as men read the base ball score. It is the business of the American housewife to see that her grocer keeps faith with her, and it is the Fair Price list which enables her to do this.

What is the Fair Price list? It is printed in your local paper, or should be, and shows price paid by retailers and price which consumer should pay. Its advantages are such that it gives definite information as to fair prices based on dealers' costs, and protects consumer from unscrupulous dealers who take advantage of present condi tions to charge exorbitant prices. Patriotism demands that house wives should market more intelligently than they ever have before. They should keep in touch with the constant changing conditions, and its the Fair Price list that will enable them to do this. If any discrepancies are found then she should report the matter to the local Food Administration Commit tee.

Bead your Fair Price List in your local paper. Demand that it be there. PROFITEERING What Is profiteering? Making unreasonable profits by unfair trade practices. Has profiteering been abolished? In many food lines It has been ellmininated even in the fact of actual shortage. What has the United States Food Administration done to curb profiteering? It has issued licenses to retail dealers in foods doing a business of $100,000 or more a year, and all wholesalers dealing In licensed commodities.

How does this check profiteering? If the dealer does not follow Instructions he loses his license and most stop his business. Does this mean that wholesalers are under direct government control? Yes. Is the small retailer under government control? No. He is tinder indirect control. In what way? It he charges profiteering prices he gets no more supplies from the wholesaler who is under direct control.

What has been the effect of this Indirect control? It has kept prices from soaring. What rules help particularly to eliminate profiteering? The rule which forbids the resale of food commodities within the same trade, without reasonable justification, and the rule prohibiting more than normal profits. What control has been exercised over the small retailer? He can not get supplies from the wholesalers who are directly controll-edif he does not conform to rules. Has this control been successful? Yes. What has been the attitude of retail grocers? Over 60 percent of the reail grocers of the country have voluntarily signed the pledge card to obey it structions, and more pledges are being received daily.

Why should the buyer order consistently? Because demand creates supply. Retailers do not stock up very far ahead and they will not put money into food nobody asks for. How can the buyer co-operate successfully in this? By ordering evenly. Don't fast one week and feast the next. By careful and steady.

Why is it wrong to complain to the grocer or grocer's clerk about the Food Administration regulations? Because neither the grocer nor his clerk is responsible for the regulations. Furthermore, It is unpatriotic and makes the necessary co-operation between grocer and Food Administration more difficult. SUBSTITUTES What is a substitute food? A food similar in food value to the one we want to save. What are substitutes for wheat? Barley flour, corn meal, corn flour, buckwheat flour, oat flour, rice flour, potato flour, buckwheat flour, kafflr flour, milo flour, feterlta flour and meals, peanut flour, bean flour and sweet potato flour. What are substitutes for meat? Poultry, fish, sea fqod, milk, cheese, eggs, nuts, legumes and cereals.

Can any of these be used in place of all the meat? Yes; with the exception of legumes and cereals. Why is poultry considered a meat substitute? Decause it takes less in grain feea than the meat animals. Is more perishable and cannot be shipped in compact form. What are part substitutes for meat? All the legumes peas, beans (s navy, lima, kidney, pinto), len'ils, peanuts. It What are substitutes for sugar? Honey, maple syrup, corn syrup, sorghum, ar.d molasses.

Can honey be substituted in rtceipes demanding sugar? Yes; when recipes also contain flour allow for the additional water in honey by omitting one-forth of the liquid called for in the recipe. What are substitutes for butter nnd lard? Olive oil, corn oil, cottonseed oil, saved meat drippings. Is there a substitute for milk? No. When substitutes arc more expensive than the food we are asked to save, what can those in moderate circumstances do?
