FariS.-One place which many Amer

as the Foyer du Soldat Anglais." 1t
is conducted by group Of English and
American women as place where Ca
madam, Australian and New Zealand
soldiers who cannot go home for their
ten days leave may find welcome. 1t
has all the facilities Of an up-to-date
club, with perhaps little more Of the

Tea is served every afternoon TO all

possibly eats off u table made out of an
old box. Certain fOrmalitles. however,
are observed among officers. The cap
tam may not always volunteer as host,
and il is not good form TO invite your
self.

some chow is good formula

RUINED CITIES OF FRANCE
Character OF Peunanency, So End.
less Does War Seem to People.

There is n new kind of city ON earth
today. strange nightmare kind OF
city that has taken on for the people
of northern France almost a character
of Rcrmanency, so endless is this war.
People have lived through SO much
SHINE August, 1914, that they seem to
themselves to have been always at
war, and, looking forward, they see
nothing but long years Of warfare The
ruined cities such as Arras have be
come part of the natural order Of
things, and the strange life In them has
come To seem n natural sort of life.
Towns like this are found by the score
where the slow pressure Of the allies
Is forcing the Prusslan back, says u
war correspondent.
They are the towns that have been
bombarded and bombarded again,
taLen and retaken, assaulted and cap
tured, and cannonaded by those wha
held them the day before, until il is q
marvel that one brick remains on an
other. They are full of ruined houses
and shattered quarters Of all degrees
they have blocks and sections that by
some miracle escaped.
Here Is a row Of houses that migh<
be in the far South, 200 miles from tAs
battle front. The shutters are UP and
the streets are deserted, as though the
people were late In rising. Here Is q
public square pitted with shellhOles,
one side fronted by row of buildings,
whole save for broken windows, ths
other bounded only by shnpeleN
masses of brick and stone. Here and
there slow smoke curls upward frsm
some gnawing fire. A hundred yards
away there may he a stubborn famile
still occupying its old home, but no.
body puts out the fire. The civilians
are too hopeless and the soldiers are
too busy.
And here Is house with the front
sliced of by shell and the rooms stJk
all In order--a strange spectacle-wlth
beds and bureaus and chairs and tables
all in order, as though some enterprfs-
Ing furniture dealer had undertaken a
new and ambitious form of window
! display. For the most part the noblest
buildings, the churches and public halls
and the lowered relics of the Gothic
I period are gone-they furnish too easy
mark for the rangefinder And ever
and again dull crash tells OF another
shell carrying on the barbaYous work.

MINE FIELDS MENACE NORWAY
Ownership Of Drifting Agents Of De-
struction is Matter Of
Doubt

CbrIstlana.- Drifting mine felds are
reported along the whole Norwegian
coast from Listerlsnd eastward. on
Halo. 20 mines were seen drifting
north 10 Cbristiana fJera, and from
HaIvo many explosions have been
heard.
The drifting mine fields are sur
rounded by mass Of drifting wreck
age. Norwegian motor boats have
salved many casks Of wine, margarine
md whale oil.
The ownership Of the drifting mine
fields Is q matter of doubt. Certainly
nobody Is anxious to claim them, for
they do not conform 10 the rules Of
The Hague convention. which pre-
scrlbes that mines shall be so con-
structed that they become harmless
when adrift.

Blind Belief.

Swedish Consul Gustavus Swan said.
In discussing the war:
The exposures from Buenos Aires
show that Germany believes airs fair
In love and war. Germany duped my
own government no less than the Ar
gentine government.
Germany, IL is clear, believes alps
fair I'm love and war as blindIy az
scientists believe In facts. Hence she
goes horribly wrong, like the eminent
New England scientist wrote to Tenny-
son one day:
Dear Sir: l find In q recent poem
OF yours, entitled "The Vision Of Ssn,"
the following unwarranted statement
Every moment dies q MAN and every
moment one Is born" 1 need hardly
point out that this calculation, If cor.
rect, would tend to keep the sum total
Of the worlds population m state q
perpetual equipoise, whereas u n ~
established fact that the said psDuhs-
tion Is constantly on the Increase. I
would, therefore, suggest that In tha
next edition Of this poem the erroae.
Gus calculation to which i refer shOah
be corrected as follows: "Every mo-
ment dies a man and one and six-
teenth is born" i may add that the
exact figures are 1.167, but something
must, Of course, be conceded 10 the
laws Of rhythm"

STARS AND STRIPES
CHEERED IN PARIS

Paris.-The Stars aud Stripes
still stir up big demonstrations
of enthusiasm in the French cap
tai. even though months have
elapsed since the United States
entered the war.
The grand finale at the Folies
Bergere the other night brought
out the flags and national an
thems Of the allied nations a
la George Cohan. The British
colors and God Save the King"
brought demonstration and
large number In the audience
rose to their feet. The Italian,
Belgiae, Roumanian. Serbian.
Russian and Portuguese fags all
brought applause.
Uncle Sam had the big place
In the tableaux. When a pretty
girl strobe on the stage waving
the Stars and Stripes and the or
chestra swung into The Star
Spangied Banner" the house
went mad. A Canadian soldier
proposed three cheers for the
Yanks. Uncle Sam received an
ovation that would have glad
dened the hearts Of Americans
everywhere.

Chestnuts to Ald1War.

British children all over the country
wherever the chestnut tree crews are
gathering horse chestDnts as told in

their particular contribution to the
winning of the war for ripe horse
chestnuts have been discovered to pro-
vide good substitute for the grain
which is used In the making Of mssi-
tions. II viii be quite valuable serv-

Of grain. The gathering Is organized
