Lieut.. Fonch
 Downed 97
 Enemy Planes

PARIS. Oct 8. First Lieutenant Rene Fonck, of the French air service. is officially credited with the destruc- tion of 60 enemy planes. although he has actually forced down 97 since his first flight. August 6, 1916. Fonck used one machine in shooting down 50 of the German airplanes.
 "I have had the joy, the murderous joy, of having killed 67 crews" Fonck wrote recently, and l must confess that no nightmares disturb my sleep. The more I kill of these assassins the happier l shall be and the more con- vinced that have worked not only for France but for humanity.
 "The only thing to use with the Boche Is force."

Napoleon III to house his Ministry
of Agriculture and Finance, it later
became the residence of Mrs. Ogden
Mills.
Then it was taken over by the Y.

The main offices of the Red Tri-
angle soon outgrew even this large
structure, however, and the place
was converted Into clubhouse" for
officers and enlisted men.
There is no spot in Paris where
the men in olive drab find more
real enjoyment than in this club
house. To begin with, it Is one of
the few places where it is possible
to get a piece of genuine American
pie, the real New England national
dish.
France has many culinary attain
ments to her credit, but up to date
she has not succeeded in achieving
an American pie. The soldiers al
ways weep for joy when they first
encounter this homely article of
food.

Yanks the boys from hell" Walter
Lambert writes to his sister, Mrs.
Heights. But the Yanks, at least
those of Company D, One Hundred

speaking of the Huns. "Old Square
head" is the sobriquet attached to
him by these boys, many of them
living in and about Harrisburg.
Wild rumors are prevalent among
the soldiers in France, just as they
exist here to excite credulous Amer
leans. One of the widest that
spread there was that the Huns had
taken New York City in a maraud-
ing expedition.

keeping in Paris in war times, she
succeeds in giving the soldiers just
the kinds of meals that they want.
Even ice cream, which next to pie
is craved by an American palate in
a strange land, can be had here.
The American meals are made all
the more delightful because they
are served by attractive American
and English girls, who, in addition
to acting as mattresses, are there to
make the fighting men happy by
talking with them, dancing with
them and even, it is so rumored
doubtless falsely occasionally fiirt-
ing with them. Among these volun-
teer mattresses are several girls
whose names often figured in the
society columns at home.
The facilities of the clubhouse
are for the exclusive benefit of mem-
bers of the A. e. F. No matter how
hard civilians plead to be admitted
to the inner circle, they have to
take back seat while the men in
uniform occupy the center of the
stage.

Chicago, May 6.-Chicago's 400
cabarets passed out of existence today
when The city's anti-cabarets. ordi-
nance went into effect. The jazz
bands are husned and the singers ST.
lent. The cabaret which had develop
ed into a conspicuous feature of the
city's night life is dead.
AS a result of the enforcement; OF
the new law several thousand of ex-
pert saxophone players, trick drum
mers, piano players and other mus1-
clans are out of work and hundreds
of singers are idle.
Hotels, cafes and restaurants in the
downtown district which in the past
depended largely on the lure of cab
aret entertainment to draw patronage
were comparatively deserted. The
owners Of cabarets obliged to close
their doors accepted the situation
philosophica1ly and viewed the future
with doubt and uncertainty.
The new law prohibits singing.
entertainment in any building where
saloons may lave music for. the en-
tertainment of their guests by taking
out an amusement license and paying
fee of $500 a year. -
Strangely enough the brewers are
chiefly. responsible for the stamping
out of the alleged cabaret evil in Chi
cago. They argued that the cabaret
was detriment to the decent saloon
and was rapidly crystallizing public
sentiment in favor of a saloonless city.
After series of hearings before an
aidermanic committee, the city coun-
ell passed the ordinance.
