OUR MEN LIKE
FRENCH FARE

PARIS, June 17.-(By mail,)-The
American enlisted men who came to
France with Major Pershing are hav-
ing experience with foreign habits,
languages and rationS which indicate
what the main body of American
troops will find when it arrives. The
Americans are Quartered at the Pepi-
Mere barracks, huge quadrilateral
on Place st. Angustin, one of the CEN
trail locations of Paris. There are
housed troops from all the allied ma
tons, including Russians, SerbianS,
BelgianS, Rumanians, Canadians, Aus
tralianS and New Zealanders, with GO
American troopes, engineers and auto
mobile drivers among the latest arri-
walls. The vast central court presents
a strange sight in the mingling of the
uniforms and flags Of the various ma
tons.
Appreciate Their Meals.
Each contingent has its own drill
and its own living and eating quarters
but when the men are off duty the
court is crowded with the soldiers
speaking many languages and at
tempting to make themselves under
stood with signs. The American troops
are on French military rationS, which
they like better than American or
British rations, for in addition to an
abundance of well-cooked food they
embrace the regular French allowance
of wine, which, however, may be dis
continued when the American rations
are established.
The chief novelty for the American
is the continental breakfast, restricted
to bread and coffee. Lunch and dinner
are served in courses, with plenty of
meat and vegetables. The meatless
days do not apply to the military, as
the French policy is to limit the re-
strictionS on meat, sugar, etc, to CT
villains, in order that the fighting force
may be kept up to the full measure
of energy.
Comfortably Housed
The sleeping quarters are plain and
comfortable, with good beds, clean
sheets and ample sanitary arrange
ments. The Americans are on a regu-
lar schedule with reveille at o'clock
in the morning, breakfast at Z, inspec-
ton at s and then a round of duties
concluding with taps at 10 p. m.

THE SIXTH SENSE.

Scientists long ago decided that the
dog has a sixth sense. Many human
beings also seem to possess thin adc-
tional faculty. AS proof that a dog
has an extra sense. II is pointed out
that on many occasions dogs have
escape and return at the first oppor-
tunity. This, it is argued. cannot be
explained as Il sense of direction alone.
II Is something more. scientists are
convinced. Everyone has seen in
stances of a dog picking out it's master
from crowd of people. This might
he attributed to the dogs keen sense
of smell, but the question is at least
neha table.
So far as human beings are con-
cerned. many of us have known per-
sons who apparently possessed -,a
canny faculty of foreseeing certain
events. This might he explained by
saying that they had an unusual gift
of intelligence, or were governed by
the lessons Of past experience. But it
Is easy to cite instances where per-
sons of no special intelligence have
seemed to feel a coming event OF
which they had no previous knowledge
ana which did not lay within the scope
of their experience. This ability to
feet things Is given to all OF us in
some degree. For instance. we easily
know who are our friends and cne-
mics, although no spoken word may
have been passed that would prove
either assumption. Many of us seem
To s.feel" the approach of danger or
good fortune.
In trying to explain this strange
mental phenomena scientists have
turned to the dog as an animal that
undoubtedly has a sixth sense. Now.
the question becomes-what Is this
sixth sense. E.

! RAYS Of the sun until evening
brings reaction, aid most ma
terially in the conservation OF
fuel.
| It is quite possible that as a re-
suit, Americans will become in
nured to the cold to some degree
and will break away from the ex-
travaEant and luxurious habit OF
living in overheated houses.
The temperature Of school
room in Scotland for instance, is
maintained at 50 degrees. We
dare say that our thin skinned
American boys and girls would
rebel ii they We're compelled To
attend school in Scotland. The
Temperature Of an American
lschool is easily ten degrees higher
and in many it reaches nearly 80
/, degrees, Our people who travel
abroad need not be told that the
Temperatures Of American houses
would be insufferable to foreign
ers, and especially to the British.
Fires such as we know them in
this country, are regarded over
there AS an ineXcnsable form Of
extravaganza. Extra charges
for fires in hotels and pensions
are followed by indignant
charges of graft when Americans
pay the bills. .....
The luxurious custom Of over
heating is easily explained in a
country where fuel has been so
plentiful and cheap until recent
years as in the United Estates.
Our forefathcrs, although hardy
men and living in northern alti-
tudcs, found wood most plentiful
and saw no reason why it should
not be used freely. Then. too.
there were many districts where
coal was found abundantly and
sold cheaply.
Al this time ii is a patriotic
duty to delay the starting of the
furnace as long as possible The
government is to put the screws
on over eating and over heating.
and we must cooperate We
may keep comfortable by
wearing sweaters and using hot
water bottles with wood fires oc-
casionally in The night and morn
ing. Besides showing our pa
triotism this way. we will find
surprising results in the size of
the fuel bills.

Reflections of a
Bachelor Girl

Copyright. 1917. by the Press Pub Co.
1.-THE New York Evening WORLDLY
In order to be really effective at n
summer resort. in these days. a wom-
an should have at least one husband
in the background.
There is nothing like an intelligent
thought to mar all the charm and fas-
eination of a pretty girls after dinner
conversation for any man.
Marriage is not lottery" but a
game, which requires more science
than chess. more concentration than
whist. more camoufiage than war,
more endurance than golf. and more
nerve than poker.
Somehow a woman never seems ia
think that she has acquired person
atty" until she has submerged all hers
and become the reflection of some
man. And usually she hasn't.
Blessed are the fat! For they shall
not inherit Temperament" And who
wouldn't rather live with 200 pounds
of avoirdupos than with 90 pounds OF
nerves?

always acts as proud and triumphant
as though he had done it Of his own
free WIZ
The trouble with lots Of marriages
is that a man appears to consider that
a wife is thought and paid for" on
her wedding day; whereas she is only
leased" to be paid for in daily in
stalments of kindness and tenderness
for the next 90 years.
Oh. yes, marriage is n wonan's
highest vocation; hut. with every
bachelor so carefully 'chnperoninE'
himself It takes n lot of skill for any
girl to reach such delights"
It is perfectly natural for a man to
admire women in the abstract: hut the
difficult feat seems to be for him to
20 right on forever admiring one Wom,-
an In particular.
Real lbve Is the feeling a man has
when he looks at his wife and wishes
that he weren't married to her---so that
he could enjoy flirting with her again.
This is the time for the married
mems annual uprising against the fall
moving Fsnt pshaw! They all have
to sit down again, dearie.
The average nan goes through life
with one hand stretched out to catch
the woman who Is leading him a chase
and the other stretched back to ward
off the woman who is chasing him.
1t is difficult to say which Is harder
to live with in these trying days, a
pessimist. pacifist or a h,norist.
a woman loves each man in a diff
ferent way-but n mans heart Is like
an old fashioned hand -organ with only
one lOye-tune.
Alas! II there were only such
thing as a synthetic husband for busy
women who have no time to coddle a
real one life would be much less com :
pMcated.
When they speak of luck In love- n
woman thinks proudly Of the man she
has just caught: 4 man thinks prayer
fully of the woman he has Justin
caught.
The average wife doesn't give a Ho-
ienzoliern for her husoantfs ability
to prove that his way of detug thin9a

least that they are going to be done
that way.

FUEL AND THE WEATHER

We may fairly count the wealth
or man among the kaiscr's enc
mics. The unusual warmth of
these bright October days has
caused less worry over the coal
situation. In Montana we are es-
pecially favored, since the prob
lem Of bringing sufficient coal to
the northwest has become really
acute, enough so, at least as to
cause the government to stop for
time the shipment of coal by
the lake routes to Canada.
These delightful days when
there is chill in the early morn
ing air, followed by a long inter
val OF warmth from the brillian,

WHAT CONGRESS DID.

The war congress that has just
closed accomplished more ire
mendously big things, we believe,
than any other session Of the ma
tional legislature. A brief sum-
mary of congressional action
shows how impressive was the
program carried out
Congress declared that state
Of war with Germany exists, on
April 6.
Congress authorized a bond is
sue to raise five billion dollars,
three billions of which is for
loans to our allies.
Congress authorized the crea-
ton Of the Council of National
Defense.
Congress passed the urgency
deficiency bill, appropriating a
hundred million dollars for use
Of President Wilson in war ac-
tivities.
Congress passed the selective-
draft law. under which our new
National army is being organized.
This act was passed on May 20
The espionage law was passed
on June 10. II authorizes the
president to deal with the actiyi-
ties Of enemy spies and gives the
postoffice department power to
censor the mail circulation Of
publications.
Congress authorized The con-
struction OF sixteen great canton
ments, each capable Of housing
forty thousand men, to be used in
mobilizing and training Amer
ica's citizen army.
Congress also passed a bill au-
thorizing the president to COM
mandecr all ships under con-
struction in American shipyards
and to take over and operate the
German ships seized at the out
break Of the war. The secre-
tary Of the navy was given au-
thority to commander all mate
rial necessary for the building OF
Warships or the making of mum :
tons Of war.
Congress created a priority
committee, to regulate freight
shipments Of coal or other neces-
sary commodities.
The creation of a food-control
board, with Herbert Hoover as
chairman, was another outstand-
ing action, supplemented by The
establishing Of another board to
control feed and fuel.
Congress passed revenue
taxation law designed TO raise APP
proXimatcly two billion dollars
annually, by heavy taxes on lux
uries, excess profits and incomes
This congress, however, will
be remembered longest for the
large amounts it authorized for
war budgets. These total lven-
ty-one billions Of dollars, sum
quite beyond finite understand
ing. The chief items were sever
billions to be loaned to the allies
for soldiers pay, clothing anc
shelter, s3,6l2.o0O,0OO; for arm,
and navy arms and ammunition

The Kansas City Star applies
the lesson Of this fable to La Fol
lette:
'Once upon & Tune an office
building caught fire. A man
rushed out on the fire escape and
began TO make speech. He
blocked the way for those who
were pressing behind him TO
reach the stairway. They
pushed forward, for the smoke
was getting thick behind them.
Still he talked, Then couple
OF men grabbed him and hustled
him down the fire escape so that
the rest could reach the ground.
The speaker complained bitterly.
Their procedure was nnconstitu-
tlonal, he said; this was country
OF free speech"
We advise some of the Montana
soap box orators to paste this on
their eyeglasses.

There is a strong and coniin-

mortal work of Julia Ward
Howe. THE Battle Hymn of the
Republic" 1t was the one in
spring musical contribution OF
the Civil war. The music is
martial and uplifting and the
poem IS one to arouse patriotism
to fine pitch. There are still
living those who heard Jules
Lombard sing this grand hymn
in the early days of the Civil
var, when he and his brother
toured the country and by their
singing alone secured thousands
Of enlistments. Mr.. Lombard
died not long ago in Chicago, but
when on rare occasions as an old
man he sang this hymn in days
OF peace, the response from the
audiences was tumultuous. We
would like to see great revival
OF this hymn.
