partment to accept it free of cost.
Colonel Lewis said he took his

Major General Leonard Wood.
Il wanted to present 1T to the gov
ernment," he said.
Even last June went to the

Tahiti Are Left
To Mourn Alone
(By Associated Press.l

San Francisco, Cal, Dec. 22.-
Tahiti, the palm shaded isle OF south
seas, has sent most Of her young men
to the war. And, as a result, many
duslxy maidens walk the moon-ii
beaches with sadness in their hearts.
So says Countess LCassiu, of the
island port, who is visiting here.
Tahiti's contingent in France, ac-
cording to the countess, is approx
mately 1000 young men. The change
in climate has proved hard on these
fighters. she said, many Of them hav-
ing suffered amputations made neces-
sary by frost bites.
