Weekly War Story.

* From one of the training camps full of Ohio soldiers comes this absolutely veracious story: The company cook went to the commanding officer and respectfully asked when the soldiers were to be supplied •with gas masks. The officer answered that he did not know. A week later, the cook again expressed his desire for _a gas mask. This time, the officer happened to have a sample of the latest contrivance of this nature, which will probably be used by our soldiers in the trenches. He showed it to the cook, who immediately asked to borrow it Inquiry reypded that the cook’s idea was to pfit the mask on before he tackled a big job of peeling onions.
