Move in Ghostly Streams.

Dodging the motors and wagons
and guns were ghostly streams or
doughboys going up to the trenches
and coming back.
Just as these cold. wet. tired men
rounded a turn that brought them
into the town there was a sort OF
gray streak across the blackness OF
the road. 1t was the signal of Red
Cross Outpost No. Pa lantern.
screened behind coffee sack. and
showing very family through the
door of the cowshed, where the out
post was located.
Inside was a weird sight.
Dripping, stamping doughboys and
drivers were filing in front of
rough counter, over which two men
were pouring steaming hot chocolate
into outstretched tin cups. Five feet
from the counter you could not tell
whether the soldier was white or
black; he was a mere blur except
where the candle light was reflected
on a wet, glistening rubber coat.
The men said little or nothing
they were too wet, too cold, too
tired.
Pond, Ashley Pond Of New Mexico.
did most of the talking. He was chief
chocolate dispenser, and these all
night parties were a regular thing
with him. He began making choco-
late at o'clock in the afternoon,
mixing and storing it in twelve-gal-
Ion thermos containers, which kept
the chocolate hot for eight or ten
hours.

Pond had helpers and was supposed
to be the boss of the outpost, but no.
body could make him go to bed-ex-
cept in daytimes-or induce him to
relinquish the chocolate pot when the
boys began to file in at night. Pond
not only dispensed chocolate; he dis
pensed cheer.

On Their Way Warmed Through


Suppose you had been driving a
truck all night in a chilling rain; or
suppose you had not had dry clothes
suppose these things. and you will
know how good that half pint of
chocolate tasted to these Yanks, how
it sent them on their way warmed
through.
"Pond, how do you stand thisT 1
ing.
and walk down the line of men who
are waiting out there for their
chocolate. You won't hear in half
mile of doughboys' standing there in
pound pack and a gun, after all day
in the trenches or all day on top Of
a truck-you won't hear as much
kicking as you'd hear in the New
York subway If a train was two min
utes late. Those boys stand IT. don't
they? Guess I can stand this. It's
a cinch compared to their 5ob-any-
"step along. boys: there are a couple
Of million men out there in the road
waiting to get in. You're well
come; 1t all comes out OF tine
of chocolate was paid for out Of the
dollar that your rich aunt in Keo-
kuk gave the Red Cross last sum-
mer." To his helper: Come on
Lowry; you may be a stock broker
in Boston, but in France your job
is to keep a can OF hot chocolate on
this counter" Yes, I've got
some chewing tobacco: no. it's already
paid for by the folks at home. :"
Good night, boys. Come In again
on your way back from Berlin"
That, as well as 1 can tell 1t, is a
night in a Red Cross outpost.

Got What He Wanted.

Wall Street Journal: The leveling
influence of war is illustrated by the
experiences of a New England law
yer, commissioned officer at one OF
the nearby training camps. A pri-
waite in his company, assigned TO the
driving of mail trucks. applied to
him one morning for three days fur
Tough. The officer asked the rea
for the application, and was aston
ished to hear the soldier say: Il
have to argue a case before the New
York supreme court" Further in
curry revealed the fact that the ap-
plicant fer leave was well-known
lawyer of this city who had been
caught in the draft He had sat up
nights after his soldier1y duties and
laboriously written out a lengthy and
learned brief, which he showed to
his astonished captain. He got the
requested furlough.

tai OF Aisace-Lorraine, which has
been reported to be the ultimate
objective of the American expedition
airy forces.
The northern end of the Lorraine
front is the small village of Lesme-
line, which is within mile OF
German territory and is about twelve
miles south of the great German
fortress of Metz. At Les Melins the
front turns abruptly to the west and
runs toward ST. Mihiel and the sec
tor south of Verdun-
What part of the fifty miles of
Lorraine front has been taken over
BIZ the Americans is not publicly
known. The Rhine-Marne canal,
along which the first American pris-
oners were captured by the Germans
last November is midway between
Les Melins and Badonviller. The
entire Lorraine fighting area faces
the most heavily fortified section OF
the German empire. 1t is the main
military gateway into Germany which
formed the chief objective OF the
French armies at the outbreak or the
war. The French penetrated some
distance toward Strassburg, but were
defeated and compelled to retreat
very hastily into their own territory.
Since then modern Notifications
have been proven to be helpless
against modern artillery and have
given way to trench fighting.
/ The fact that the German positions
facing the United States army are
mass Of forts and redoubts, there
fore will make little difference to
American tactics. If the Germans
can be shot out Of their trenches.
their Notifications will be sorry
places of refuge.

Following reports that a number
of captured Sammies were being
placed under stress to reveal mill
tary secrets, the state department
has instituted an inquiry to learn
exactly what treatment is being ac-
corded these men by the Teutons.
Eight soldiers have been captured in
the first and subsequent raids against
the trench sector held by Americans,
! the Red Cross reports.

Germans should treat these men
well, as this government holds far
more German prisoners than Ger
many holds Americans.
