Unbelievable Big.

English as she is spoke in Eng
land opens pitfulls almost as numer-
GUS as those of foreign language to
an American.
A Los Angeles society matron was
guest of honor at a London dinner
last Summer. OF course California
became the topic of general conver-
sation and she was asked many
weird questions.
"Do pines grow in California;"
Queried the host.
"Oh, yes, many varieties of them"
Whats the favorite yariety?"
"The sugar pine, | think"
"How large is the sugar pine?"
"Very often as much as sixteen
feet in circumference"
The Englishman gasped, then
stared at his guest as if suddenly con-
vinced that he was entertaining the
Baroness Munchausen unawares. He
asked no more questions for the time
being. But after dinner he again
approached the American lady. Are
they edible?" he said with explosive
suddenness. Those big pines, you
know. Fancy"
"Edible!" echoed the puzzled lady.
"How can a tree be edible?"
"But the pine isn't tree" per-
sisted the Englishman. "It's fruit.
With prickles, you know"
ooh, see. You mean pineap-
pie"
I'VE call them pines here" ans
wered the Englishman stiffly. "Your
American language is very strange"

An Incident ut I4iege.

EVEN as 1 read of the campaign
in Northern Belgium there comes
the memory of an incident which
occurred several years ago on the sta
tion platform at Liege.
In the company of two Americans,
who had been studying at German
universities, | was travelling from
Berlin to Paris. We spent the night
at Liege, and in the morning were
on hand to take the Paris express.
As my knowledge OF both French
and German was decidedly limited, it
fell to my lot to look after the hand
luggage, while my companions saw
to the tickets and the checking of
the trunks. While | was thus en-
gagged, well-dressed, portly gentle
man, of distinctly German type,
stepped up and spoke to me.
shook my head. "Nicht ver-
steh," said l.
He tried again. and then l asked
him a question in my limited Ger
man.
"Nicht versteh." he replied in turn.
We began to make gestures with
our arms. repeated all the German
words l know, which were about
nine. They didn't seem familiar to
him. We began again to make ges-
lures, but of no avail Finally a
brilliant idea occurred to me.
"Parlez-vous Francaise?" said l.
"Oui, oui," he replied eagerly.
He mopped his brow, then said
something that sounded suspiciously
like French to me.
"Je ne comprend pas" said l
Finally managed to ask him Ques-
tion
'Je ne comprend pas said he.
And once more We began gesticulat-
ing.
At this juncture l espied one of
my companions and hailed him with
relief. Here, Robinson, for heav-
ems sake, help this poor devil out!
I've been trying to find out for the
last 10 minutes what he wants"
The stranger literally fell upon my
neck. by cracky!" he cried, can
you talk English?"
"You bet." I boasted. I'm am an
American"
"Then, for the love of Mike, why
didn't you say so!' said he. I'm
