men from every state in the Union
have arrived in France, it is today
permitted to be announced.
They are among the troops now
training or lately arrived.
While it is not permitted to dis
close the identity of units. it may be
said that all those which sailed from
the United States have arrived safe
ly and that some already are in train
ing within sounds of the guns on the
battle front.
They are showing spirit in keep
ing with the purpose of all concerned
to make the American expeditionary
force a homogeneous American Army
in which each division, whether reg
ular. National Guard, or National
Army, can not be distinguished in
efficiency from the others.
The g44aFdsa4e44 have lafsr been aEFipi4a & &
in the American zone for many
weeks.
They are scattered somewhat. but
as far as possible the units from the
same State have been kept close to-
gether, except in one case
They found the regular army had
made good preparations for them,
and, while many are billeted in
houses in French towns. others have
been quartcrcd in low wooden par

The troops from the various States
have been recognized by the French
population and have been welcomed
enthusiastically
Many of the units on arriving in
billet towns wore the French red
white and blue cockadc pinned to
their campaign hats. These were
given to the soldiers when they land

time to rest from'thc Journey, which
in some cases has been extremely
tiresome, the troops have been set to
work training for actual service at
the front.
In ill quarters they ar, declared to
be the most enthusiastic, and their
soldicrly qualities have drawn high
praise. fro mihc French instructors.
During the last few days one unit
has been working with grcnadcs and
automatic rifles. while another has
been working out military problems
in 1naneuvers.
Another unit has been in the in

Safeguarding Soda Fountains
pm the Mothers Magazine.

From the Mothers Magazine
After a period of investigation The
Ohio state board of health proved BE-
yond the slightest doubt that not a
single day of the year passed with
out individuals suffering from can
Ger, tuberculosis and even more loath-
some diseases. going to soda fountains
and leaving upon the containers germs
of the disease, which were imbibed
into the throat and stomach of the
next unfortunate individual served.
Microscopic examination of soda
glasses washed in cold and dirty water
which was Undertaken to furnish data
for the board of health. revealed not in
one but in many glasses sufficient
colonies of deadly microbes to disable
an entire community. One glass sub
jected to the closest scrutiny disclosed
in the thick coating of filth which COW
cred the inside more than 10000 de-
caying human cells and scraps of dead
skin. And on single one of these
cells $50 infectious disease germs were
counted.
With such conditions prevailing at
far too many soda fountains. children

tracing tonsilitis, diphtheria, typhoid
and other fevers, whooping cough. in :
fluenza. tuberculosis of the throat OF
lungs or both, measles. cancerous sores
OF the mouth, infantile paralysis and
other dread diseases.
Stringent regulations have been
adopted by the Ohio board of health.
Mere washing and drying would no
longer suffice. Every utensil had to Be
sterilized either with boiling water or
live steam Also refrigerators and Ice
cream cans must be cleaned daily with
hot water; employees must be free from
either infectious or contagious DIS
eases; and the use of straws is pro-
hibited except when special care is
taken to protect them from dirt, dust
and handling.

We do not know all we would like

Those who have their fingers on
the pulse of women in mass know
that the entrance of America into the

propaganda against it hasn't four
firm legs to stand on. 1t is made in
good spirit. but not under good guild
ance The women who are at the head
of it argue that women must not buy
clothes. in order to release all the
workers in the garment industry for
war. Well, the American government
has attended to that. Consumption
means serving or surrendering. The
ranks of the fighters will not be de-
pleted or swelled by the attitude of
women toward buying clothes. What
will be immeasurably swelled are the

bureaus. If women obey the good

the French. They do not like ocean

of submarine warfare they have an
utter horror of 1t. Their regret at
not having their salons filled to the
brim as in the old days, with the

ems clothing, is tempered by the
presence of thousands of our soldiers,

FROM OLD MADRID
All the artistic designers of Paris
have been thrilled by the ancient cos :.
tumery of Spain. In the light of this
fact. it is strange that every other
country seems to have influenced
Paris except the country of Goya. 4
In the sixteenth century Spain
ruled the world in dress. she has the
credit Of separating the bodice from
the skirt Through the centuries she
has presented pictorial appeal in
costumery, through portraiture and
literature.

suburb The white stockings and
black pumps, the small fan in brill

social and spiritual change in Paris
since our army arrived is tremendous.
ARMY COSTUMES IN FASHION
It is the most natural thing in the
world that the buoyancy, optimism
and remarkable rise in commerce
should have been brought about in
Paris by the men who wear our khaki
should be reflected in the costumery
which the French designers offer to
the American buyers this month.
1t is not overdone. so we hear.
There were enough American buyers
in Paris during the spring to fore
warn the French designers against
making clothes that incorporate mill
tary features with which the Ameri.
can woman is overfamiliar.
What is surprise to the French
is an old, old story to u.s. They know
nothing of the cowboy hat, the clay
colored flannel shirt rolling open in
front, the military jacket buttoned to
the chin and the West Point overcoat,
but we have known these from the
beginning, and we have not worn
them because they were part of the
soil.
Paris. however. will reflect in her
new costumes just enough of our mil
itary uniforms to make them interest
ing to us. Her only market today
are the two Americas and segment
of England. and it n said that she
has combined the Spanish and the
North American effect in her clothes,
with only a dash of Russian.
There will be an undoubted Spanish
influence this season. The reason for
this is not political, although brazil
and Argentine have filled the French
dressmaking houses for decades with
their wealthiest customers. Their
sympathy today is very dear to Paris,
and whatever is dear to Paris comes
out in their clothes
THE EXHIBITION IN MADRID
The real reason. however, behind
the Spanish influence, is the warm
welcome that Madrid gave to an early
exhibition of Paris clothes. Paul
Poiret was there directing and sug-
costing, and all the other important
dressmakers exhibited in this impor-
tant neutral country. Poiret, Worth
and Lanvin have been urging Spanish
