Santel Too Skiilful

Followers of wrestling who saw the two recent matches in san Francisco between Ad Sancel the Pacific coast heavyweight champion. and 'Strang Ter Lewis of Kentucky apparently are satisfied of two things as demon- strated by these contests. One is that Santel is too skiiiful. too full of tricks. for Lewis to beat to a decision in a short or limited time contest. The other is that Lewis is too heavy and powerful for Sangel to defeat in fin ish match. Santel weighs 1855 pounds, while Lewis tops the beam at 22S.

hate to leave the Y. NJ. c. A. fellows
I've been with, but fortunately l
shall not be far away from them and
/ can still be of help to them in many
ways. l have been here only three
weeks, but it seems as if 1 had
known the people all my life. 1
don't believe have told you their
personnel. There is a Mr.. Albert
! Chesley, who used to be in Lynn,
then Boston, Washington and finally
travelling secretary for the Y. M. C.
A. in Pennsylvania. He had often
been in Pottsville. He was one of
the first to come over here. He is
a fine man and a good friend.
Then there is a Captain Smith,
brother of Hoke Smith, from Geor-
gia, a fine type of Southerner who
is idolized by the men and has a way
of getting anything he wants from
the officers. He lost his right hand
in a railroad accident and the stub
of his arm with his height of six
feet two and the bearing of a general
open the way for him on all sides.
He used to be a captain in the Ma
tional Guard.
Then there is Rusty" Dyer,
from Ohio, and a John Simonds,
from Greenfield, Mass; a Mr.. Fit.
from Northfield, Mass, big, over
grown boy by the name of Chap
pelle. from Tennessee, who has
charge of athletics, and yours truly.
The combination of Rusty and Sim
onds struck me at once.
The French soldiers have been
wonderfully kind to us and espe-
cially to me. One of them whose
name is Leon Rousseau has been
most faithful to my French classes.
He has been wounded several times.
last night he said to me, You know
life used to seem so dreary here, but
II seems quite different since you men
of the Y. M. c. T. came here" 1t
seemed to me a great testimonial of
what the Y. M. is accomplishing in
France. If 1 can get some of the
spirit into the Foyer du Soldat that
there is in our huts, 1 shall be q

me to write it up for use in Amer
lea. l turned to my diary before
sent it home and made up a pret-
ty good account.
1 must tell you about my work in
the few days 1 was away. In the
first place, l had a thousand COM
missions to do for the Y. l was sup
posed to get all the chocolate and
bonbons that l could lay my hands
on. When L got to T at IL p.
m. I asked for the directory. dis
covered there was a chocolate fac
tory in the outskirts of the town and
went there the first thing in the
morning. L was met very courte-
ously, but was told that chocolate
was so short that it would be impos-
sible to do anything for us. Mr..
Rebours had long refused any new
customers. | said, "All right" and
we began to talk America. Mr..
Debours' desk had been made in
America and he was very proud of
it. His factory had received gold
medal at the st. Louis fair. Finally
he said, How much chocolate
would you like?" l said | should
lilk 1000 francs worth Immediately
and the same amount each week.
Then he asked me when we would
want to begin. / told him | should
like to have the first lot shipped
that morning. He threw up his
hands at that, but then said, EFT
pourquoi non?" To make a long
matter short, he did ship the choco-
late that morning and it was here
the same night. Then he personally
accompanied me to the town and
introduced me to some of his busi-
ness associates. His printer was the
first one interviewed. / wanted to
have 1900 tickets printed for box
ing bout that we are to have this
week. The most famous boxers
from Paris are coming. The printer
said, and would you like to have
them in about two weeks?" 1t was
then II o'clock and l said. II should
like to have you mail them at
o'clock this afternoon" He was very
much surprised, said it was 'impos-
sible," but finally did what l said
and the tickets were here the same
evening.
When the men here saw the choc-
olate and tickets here almost as soon
as | left, they could not believe it.
You would have been delighted to
have seen the expression of the

faces of the printer and Mr.. Rebours
They both said. well. we certainly
will learn a lot from you Amer
icains."
What I need in the French work
is pictures of America, New York
President Wilson, anything TYPICAL
ly American. l tried all over Paris
to get map of the United States
and did not succeed. So you see
what you can send.
L forgot to say above that before
my interview with Mr.. Rebours was
over l was helping him to write
letters in English refusing to take
any new customers.
Girls Work Hard
I am more and more charmed by
Mr.. and Mrs. lie RouX. They are
both splendid specimens of their
countries. They have travelled all
around the world and know the
most prominent people everywhere.
At the same time they fit in very
nicely with our humble way of liv-
ing here. The hotel is so noisy we
did not want to put them there and,
besides, there was no room. So we
put them up at the village priests.

place like Cure Lucai'S at Charge

enter by a stable door and in the
house the chickens We're running all
around the hall and even in the

honored guests were to, occupy.
The room was cold and damp, with
shrines and bones of saints the--only

refused one chance l gave them to
take my room and stuck it out
where they were.
The girls are doing a fine job
They serve hot chocolate. coffee,

They have a constant stream of men
coming all the time from 1890 at
noon till $50 at night. How they
manage to hold out | don't see. Mr..

more women to help them out. They
are wonderful girls and we're all
proud of them.
