Si WILL BE NO SMALL’ STATE Czecho-Slovakia Could at Once Take Rank as Eighth World Power, Asserts Writer. ‘— We are told the Czecho-Slovak state will be a small one, and as a result its 4 existence will be precarious, assum- ing the world shall remain in any- thing like its present condition of in- ternational disorganization, Charles | Pergler writes in Asia Magazine. In the first place, as modern states go, the new state will not be a small one, hav- ing a population of about 12,000,000, and the area of the new state will bes about 50,000 English sqyare miles. When we recollect that Belgium has 11,373 square miles, It is seen at a glance that the new state can hardly be classed as small. Moreover, the belief in the necessity of large states, rife in certain circles of economic and “| political: theorists, and largely based upon certain teachings of Karl Marx, is one of the superstitions that period- ically appear, in order to be abandoned upon a sober second thought. The theory that small states and na- tions cannot succeed is not borne out a rs RD by history. Even prior to the war there were in Europe 27 states, and the great majority of these were small, There were only six of the so called great powers: Russia, Germany, Austria-Hungary, England, France and a, Belgium, Norway, Ser- , Holland, Sweden, Monte- negro and Turkey are all, or were, smuller than the state we are attempt- ing to describe, The latter will hold only Eng- y, Spain and land, Poland, Russie being In FIGHTERS GOT THEIR “EATS” How American Soldiers at the Front Were Supplied by the Com- missary With Food.» The service of supply of the Amer- lean army recei lion’s share of praise for our victory. Needs of men in the trenches and on the fighting line were well cared for.

These containers were absolutely air tight to prevent poisoning of food by gas, They contained a dry, hard corn bread, corned beef, corned-beef hash, roast beef, salmon, sardines, salt, sugar and coffee soluble in cold wa- ter, together with the necessary can openers. Each container weighed 107 pounds and was cleverly camouflaged for its trip to the firing line. An emergency ration similar to the “iron ration” of the British army was pro- vided for the Americans. This was the ration they curried over the top and used only In dire extremity. It consists of ground meat and wheat pressed Into a cake, and a block of sweet chocolate. The cake can be eaten dry or stirred into cold water. One cake boiled four minutes In three pints of water makes a nourishing soup, In one pint of water an accept- able porridge. The S. O. 8S. relied upon its4mighty accumulation of foods from America for everything except fresh vegetables. It was almost inde- pendent in this respect, however, for were served to them to an extent un- precedented in any other war. Under bartage fire and gas attacks, however, hot food could not be carried forward. a) 16,000,000 pounds of dehydrated vege- tables “were ‘contracted for in the United States.—Thomas F.
