CRABS IN FULL DRESS.
Some Species Are Fond Of Finery and
CIothe Themselves Carefully.

NIOIne themselves IareTuIIys
Many Of the crab species Of shellish
clothe themselves. Some species dress
deliberately by taking small pieces Of
different colored weeds and sticking
them On the shell. so as to look like Il
stone covered with weed. They spend
hours, with the utmost perseverance,
In making these pieces adhere, by try
ing the same piece over and over again
till they succeed. They have a fine
sense Of symmetry and always put u
red piece on one limb to match the
red piece they have put on the other,
and a green piece to match q green
piece, though how they know red from
green i'll the dark pools where they
live is hard to say, unless. it is by
taste or smell. When once their dress
is completed it improves the older It
becomes, as the weed actually grows
on them.

tory and because one often hears the
remark:
THE government and the army may
be willing to continue a long drawn
out war, and they may be perfectly
able to do so from the point Of view
Of men and money, but what about the
women?"
The answer may be read above.
The women of France have themselves
under a sort of self imposed discipline
no less rigid than that which the men
folks are subject to at the front. They
are part Of the ''union sacre" just as
much as the men, and they will see
the war through.
Government Helps the Women.
1t must be stated here that the gov
eminent is doing its share aiding the
army's women folk. Each wife gets
young children. OF course If the hus-
bands salary at the start Of the war
was above a certain figure about 5000
a Year, the wife is supposed not to
need this allotment. The French lady
quoted above gets no allowance, for
example. though her husband was
earning when he left to join the colors
only about $50 a month. She Is com
PEELED to live or her capital now, which,
thanks to years of thrift, is ample to
see her through.
French effort for the past year has
been universal. 1t had to be if the
Germans We're to be held in check, for
most Of the German preparedness,
backed by 7O.OOO,OOO of people, fell on
France, with her democratic unpre-
%paredness and her mere 4O,OO0,O 900.
And it was largely due to the women
Of the land that the French have been
able to accomplish so much against her
powerful enemy during the past twelve
months.
At the front and throughout the
army discipline is very strict. largely.
it is true. because the individual
French soldier chooses to have it so.

perfectly right. and Of course all agree
that he did. He knew it himself, and
that is why he did it, which is pre-
cisely the point. Prince Of a mighty

circumstances.
Officers and Men Comrades.
This discipline is universal in France,
and being in France it is II Of the
wonders of the way, for perhaps in no
other country does the individual de-
mand more personal freedom. This
does not preclude, however, Il spirit of
comradeship between officers and men,
for perhaps this exists In France to
a greater extent than in any other
army in the world. certainly more than
in the American army. Neither men
nor officers take advantage Of it, all
working for one thing. the defeat Of
Germany.
Among civilians, and especially among
the women, there is the same spirit. ,

Women carrying enormous parcels OF
trousers or cloaks hasten to the de-
livery stores. Daily boats bring in cot
ton, wool, oil and essences, which are
lacking in France.
The certainty Of a long campaign ne
cessitates economy on the part of the
combatants. The young men Of the
1916 class are still in barracks. and as
yet there is no question of their being
sent to the front. Those Of the 1917
class have not been called. They are
being reserved for a later effort.
There are available innumerable aux
Hilary soldiers, among whom, if a rig
orous search We're made, might be
found a fair number of combatants, or
at least Of men qualified to replace SOL
diers employed in the depots in the
rear. There is a great number of men
modified, waiting to be called. These
forces are the nations reservoirs, pre-
served for a future which it is wise to
foresee. Little by little and as re-
quired they are absorbed by the army.
In several services it is usual to see
women replace the men. Many girls
are employed in ammunition factories,
especially in the manufacture Of car
tridges.
