 MUMPS SENDING MORE MEN TO HOSPITALS THAN ENEMY
United States Troops Are Doing Pa trol Work in No Mans Land Just
 Like the Old Veterans Now.

With American Army in France, Nov. i2- Delayed) The American soldiers are rapidly becoming ex- perts at patrol work, and their off, cers say they carry on this work in No Mans Land as if they had been at it for years.
 This is explained partly by the fact that the activity in No Mans Land, along the sector held by the Americans, virtually is open war fare, which is distinctly an Ameri- can game.
 1t is the opinion of all the officers that the American troops are bear ing up excellently under their first experiences in the trenches, and all are learning how to conduct them selves under fire, and also that shell fire, even when intense, is not as dangerous as it sounds.
 The commander of one battalion. said that since his men entered the trenches the humps has caused more of them to go to the hospital than the enemy's fire.

Now the one and the main thing that concerns us is the "ehow. The rations, like the work, are not rel isfed by those who are not accus- toned to it. It only requires about one days ditch digging, carrying oyster sheiis. or doing some other kind of police work to apply the re- quired flavor. Our food is better now than 1t was at the beginning. For dinner we had bread, butter, spuds. beans, pudding beef and tea or water. The canteens furnish us plenty of cookies, candies. etc. while the Y. NJ. C. 4. supplies amusements. The line of conversation among most of the boys seems to be this question: When do we leave for France?n All seem to be very anx- ious to go across and join the Sam mics.

RAMBLING AROUND.

Heber Springs, Ark, Nov ,, l97
 To the Editor of Tho Star:
 Did it ever occur to you that Ar kansas has more health resorts than any other state in the Union?
 Starting with Hot Springs, a resort of international renown, one can go to Eureka Springs. thence to Sloan Springs, Sulphur Springs and about twenty-five or thirty springs in diff ferent parts of the state. Most of the health resorts, however, are grouped along the foothills of the different ranges of the Ozarks that slope out into the northwestern and southwestern counties, and so I was somewhat surprised when got to Batesyille in Independence county and acquired a diabolical case of malarial fever, to learn that neigh boring county, Cleburne, had 8 splendid health resort. So, giving my liver some emergency treatment, | bade adieu to Batesville, which, by the way. is a beautiful and thriving city of 5000 or 6,000 1 came down here to Heber Springs, and to my as- tonishment pumped right into one of the prettiest cites I have ever seen in the state. Of course there are some rough edges to it yet, such as stock running at large, unpaved streets, etc. but for location and beautiful environments it is unsur- passed. The business part of the city is located in little narrow val ley and the greater part of the res idence districts are scattered along the steep hills that slope away toward the north On one side of the valley about three blocks from the court house may be found a beautiful park of about fifteen acres and scattered over this park are sev- en springs of sulphur water, all un- der wide pavilions and bubbling up from artistic concrete basins. Of course these springs are labeled white red and black sulphur, iron, manganese" arsenic" etc. but the water in all of them is i'm pregnated with sulphur all the same. I have been drinking the sulphur water now for a few weeks, and feel like a new man. About all traces of malaria have disappeared, and ex- perience some difficulty in adjusting my appetite to the II. c. of L.
 All-in-all, Heber Springs has many fine features, and will he one of the many spots in Arkansas that will at tract a liberal share of the people of the world who appreciate beauty. healthfulness and sane living.
 With kind regards to my old friends among the readers of The Star, l remain
 Yours truly, Fisherman.

BE THANKFuL.

For some time accusations have been common to the effect that the Germans were abducting young girls from Alsace-Lorraine and forcing them to labor for the German army. This has generally been denied. but now comes a German official reply to complaints 10 the effect that "only eight and a half per cent of the girls 'requisitioned' are less than f7 years old. and that scarcely one half Of them have been subjected by force to work at the front Here's something else for Americans to be thankful for They are carrying on the war against Germany over in Europe instead of at home and the Germans have no chance to ire quisition" our young daughters and sisters to be forced to work for the German army at the front, with all that such means in France and Bell gium.
