world has become accustomed to ma

sympathetic interest that Ostend had

even this soon became too hot for the

Rumania was the fifth country to cali

"on the way home | talked with a
man who had just come from Nova

been over 200 900 American troops sent

further said that there are more than

The people there are making great

Mr.. Smith said that a heavy frost
had been experienced during the early
part of September. Through the central
