AMERICAN FIELD HEADQUAR-
TIERS IN FRANCE. September 22-The
moonlight was painting weird tints on
the stained glass windows and gar
goyles and throwing srotesque shad-
ows on the facade Of a thirteenth CEN
tury church when TWO correspondents,
once neighbors in Chicago. picked their
way along dark city in the army zone
of France. Occasionally patch Of
light falling across a court yard or a
faint ray showing through a crack in a
door or window indicated that there
was life inside the black and silent
lights of the city had been extinguished
at O'Clock. Now and then we passed a
soldier and heard the sound of hobnailed
boots receding in the distance. Once
there came the sound of n motor truck
with its lights extingushed. The city
was darkened and in hiding.
Finally under viaduct we could see
railroad tracks and knew that we were
approaching Il station. Then we pro-
ceeded down n hilly side street. past
French sentry at the door and into
big waiting room feebly lit by a single
oil lamp. French soldiers, women and
civilians waiting for trains were sit
ting doing on benches or standing in
groups talking in subdued voices.
There was an atmosphere OF gloom
over all.

How much their work counts can only
be most fully appreciated by soldiers
far from home and in strange coun-
try. For months they have not seen

hands him a sandwich.

tories can accommodate 1000 men,
There are twenty-one shower baths, a
barber shop, a clothes steriliZer and a
boomproof movie theater. All is free

nominal charge. On the other side of
the railroad tracks garden has been
laid out where, in kiosk, the French
government dispenses wine to its own
troops. While waiting for trains the
soldiers delax and rest.
Mrs. W. x. Vanderbilt opened this
canteen. 1t is Red Cross work and not
a social diversion. Her days program

for the big overhead expenses. In addi-
ton, much Is distributed free. A bowl
OF soup, which is quite different from
the usual onion-fiavored greasy hot
water. costs 8 cents, and other things
are sold at proportionately low prices.
Soup and coffee are both served in
bowls.
There are no spoons, cups, knives or
forks. for these never return. For 13
cents one gets : dinner consisting of
soup, beef or lamb. vegetable salad,
cheese. pudding or fruit. coffee. choco-

station platforms. stumbling across
switch tracks. sticky mud and piles of
cinders, going through more empty
frame buildings with soldiers sleeping
on their packs in the corners and along

outs, we suddenly came through a door
way into a brilliantly lighted room
1t was an American Red Cross base
canteen, the first one to be opened
and never to close until the last of the
soldiers return from the trenches, Back
of long porcelain-tiled counter Amer
lean women in white caps and white
aprons were pouring coffee. ladling
soup and handing out sandwiches as
fast as their arms could work. In front
was an unending line of soldiers, Amer
lean and French, with bowls of soup or
coffee in one hand and sandwiches
and tobacco in the other, maxi
ing their way gingerly through the
crowd from the counter to seats at the
tables in the big room. The rush was
especially heavy that night The Amer
lean Army engineers were leaving at
o'clock in the morning and French
troop trains Were passing at all hours.

Senators from farming states de-

there had been hysteria throughout

lifted right out with the fingers if you

For little cost one can get a small
bottle of freezone at any drug store,
which will positively rid ones feet of
every corn or callus without pain.
This simple drug dries the moment
1t is applied and does not even irri-
