TROOPS TO EUROPE SOON.
Regulars and Guardsmen to Be Sent
To Front as Soon as Tranp0rts
Are Secured.

Washington, May 2.-The French
Commissioners today had assurances
that the American government is will
ing to send troops to France-one of
the urgent recommendations they
brought to this country-when the Al
lies believe they can spare the neces-
sary ships for transporting an army
and equipment across the Atlantic.
The administration has put aside
the objectioniof the army general staff
to send any troops to the battle front
until big force has been raised and
trained for nearly year, and has de-
cided that for the sake of the moral
effect of Americas actual participa-
ton in the trench battle, small con-
tingent shall go forward as soon as
possible.
This will be soon, it is believed, al
though the government is mindful that
nearly 100000 tons of shipping would
be required for a regular army unit
of $4,000.
The house and senate conferees TO-
day began the task of adjusting diff
fcrences over the annual army appro-
priation bill and as soon as settlement
is reached, they will seek to reach an
agreement on the war army bill, re-
passed yesterday by the senate, over
which there are more serious disa-
greements.
Prospects are that the house confer
ees will refuse to agree to the senate
amendment to permit Col. Roosevelt
to raise volunteer army for foreign
service.
Most of the other major differences
are believed to be susceptible of adj
justment. A compromise fixing the
age limit for draft is expected to be
fixed at from 81 as minimum age
and 35 as the maximum age.
Vice Admiral Chorcreprat, repre-
senting the ministry of marines in the
French ministry here, declared in a
statement today that he had every
reason to hope that we shall succeed
in establishing the closest cooperation
between the American and the Allied
navies for the assurance of freedom
of the seas, the protection of trade and
the triumph of cur rights.

A Free Prescription You Can
Have Filled and Use at Home

Philadelphia, Pa Victims Of eye
strain and other eye weaknesses, and
those who wear glasses, will be glad
to know that according to DR.. Lewis
there Is real hope and help for them.
Many whose eyes were failing say
they have had their eyes restored by
this remarkable prescription and
many who once wore glasses say they
have thrown them away. One man
says, after using Il: "I was almost
blind. Could mot see to read at all.
Now / can read everything without
my glasses and my. eyes do not hurt
any more. At night they would pain
dreadfully. Now they feel fine all the
time. 1t was like a miracle to me-"
A lady who used II says: The at
mosphere seemed hazy with or with
out glasses, but after using this pre-
scription for Is days everything seems
clear. / can read even fine print with
out glasses" Another who used II says:
"T was bothered with eye strain caused
by overwork, tired eyes which induced
fierce headaches. / have worn glasses
for several years both for distance and
work, and without them ! could not
read my own name on an envelope or
the typewriting on the machine before
me. can do both now and have dis
carded my long distance glasses Alto
gether. can count the Guttering
leaves on the trees across the street
now. which for several years have
looked like a dim green blur to me.
I cannot express my JOY at what 1t has
done for me-"

glasses can now discard them in q

HERE'S A MIRACLE!
FOOD PRICES SAME
Restaurant That Didn't Revise
Menu Upward Wins Praise
of "Steadies."

Newspaper men along the Row, "
Injured as they are to surprises, were
given a shock today. When the
lunch hour-an uncertain quantity
that depended largely on the "break"
Of the news and the decision OF the
IN. E."-arrived, there was a scurry
for the corner where beans, potpie,
and other "fillers" at reasonable
prices are bought daily.
Every one was prepared to scan a
strange bill OF fare that would ac-
curately represent the recent phe-
nomenal rise in the price of food
stuffs-a sudden ascension that would
range from 20 to 100 per cent. In
stead, on every table the familiar old
cards reposed, most of them coffee
stained and with other earmarks OF
long usage.
Stranger still, when the order was
served less than a minute afterward,
1t was breathlessly confided to q
waiter that the food had all OF the
flavor that has-endeared that particu-
lar cuisine to the regulars"
Modest and unassuming, this par
tlcular lunch room, the proprietor OF
which did not raise prices foF the In
auguration. probably will escape the
notice OF most inaugural. visitors. As
this confession does not end with the
significant "Advt." the place must be
nameless, but long will the fortunate
few who dropped in and paid only
regular prices treasure the memory.
Should II happen at some future date,
that the coffee fails to measure up to
standard. or the homemade pie be q
those OF the "regu-
lars" who were there today will pay
their quarter check with no bitter
remarks about the food or service.
