William Sulzer of New York, for.

accompanied by Mrs. Sulzer, spent the
might in this city, registering at the
Overland Tuesday evening. The stop
was made partly to avoid night travel

BRITISH ARMY HEADQUARTERS
IN FRANCE, Aug 3O-Triumphal
arches were erected by the French
soldiers to welcome their successors
when the British took over section
of the line from the French a while
ago. An occasional sniper's bullet and
the occasional burst of shell accom-
panied the informal ceremony.
THE peculiar thing is that the
French do not like to go, said staff
officer. They have spent months in
building up their trenches to make
them comfortable and as secure from
the enemy's fire as possible. They are
proud of their trenches. In a sense
they feel that the results of their
labor belong TO them. Besides they
have gotten settled in the associations
of the villages to the rear where they
are billeted. They know all the local
people"
Strictly speaking, all that happens
is that British battalion marches in
and a French battalion marches out
