Money Burns Their Pocket

Paris.-No wonder that American
soldiers astound the French with their
money-spending proclivity. Shops
stocked sufficiently in the ordinary
course of events to last six months
are frequently cleaned out In a day

strange francs they 60 to town and

But with all the spending and buy

few cases Of drunkenness. The wine

France Plans Establishment Of Public
Libraries Modelled on System
Of the United States.

1.-The public library idea was q new
one to the French people," says
Worlds Work. "They have seen It in
operation and leaders of French
thought believe 1t IL something France
needs. A committee, with the presi-
dent of the French republic as its
chairman, has been created to WORK
out plans for the establishment In
France Of a system Of public libraries
modelled on American lines.
"Plans are maturing for the estab-
lishment In France, after the fighting
is over, of an enormous system at
schools and universities for the better
education Of our soldiers during the
period Of rehabilitation. 1t will take
as long to get our men back as 1t has
taken to get them over-longer, prob
ably, because there will be no pressing
need for haste. Talleyrand said: You
can make soldier out Of civilian,
but you cannot make a civilian out Of
a military man. Our government IL
going to try to do what Talleyrand
said was impossible. Our men have
got to be educated for their return a.
individual units to civil life and not
as a military mass. The library war
service Is tending more and more def
nitely toward this educational objec-
tive"

laugh Of a comrade as he struggles

his rife and puts his hand to his
heart-his last cry. There is the yell
OF the hunter. the wild-crying despair
Of the hunted. The plunk of the NOR

to the tumult of the storm.
