Since August, 1914, the United
States has shipped a million horses
and million mules to Europe. Il

The first test of shrapnel was
made in England liz years ago,
when a committee of British army
men reported favorably on the in
vention Of fellow officer, Henry
Shrapnel. Shrapnel was first en-
ployed in warfare in 1906 and
fully demonstrated its explosive
usefulness.
The Idaho Springs siftings-news. (Idaho Springs, Colo.) 1905-19??, 1918-02-01

There are $50 cities in the United
States with populations in excess
of $1,000, and practically every
one of these cities has hundreds of
acres of park land. These park
acreages, the government believes,
could easily maintain 150, 600 sheep
each summer. And sheep are the
best lawn mowers.

No Definite Restriction

This little mountain which grew from.
= molehill was seemingly insurmount.
able though there has actually been no
definite restriction that would prevent
the Partisan passing his season on the
Cote d'Azur If he would take the trou-
BILE to meet the conditions and would
put up with the ncunveaiences en- route
and the lack Of the convenienCes of
modern life to which he had formerly
been used once he got there.
The actual conditions met with on this
coast of blue when seen near at
hand, as seen within the last month
or six weeks, were decidedly but
shadow Of the former glory which has
given the Riviera It's fame among the
worlds beauty spots and the first of
the European winter resorts. Many of
the hotels in the battery OF towns
which stretch along from Marseilles
TO the Italian frontier have been closed
permanently, many have been running
with reduced staffs. Largely this was
accounted for by the fact that over 60
per cent of the hotel industry of the
region was i'm the hands of German pro-
plietors or directors previous to the war
and they have not yet been reorganized,
native help not being forthcoming with
most OF the population mObilized one
way or another
Negrescos, one of the most important
Of the Promenade des Anglais hotels at
Nice, with hundreds of rooms, had a
bare fifty guests few weeks since and
later has scarcely filled up It's rooms 20

one of the biggest halls and foyers and
a moquette carpet said to be the biggest
ever woven I'm the world. Its compeu-
tors all along the coast have been in
much the same position
Automobiles Are Missing
II one thing more than another has
changed the face of the Riviera il is
the almost utter lack Of automobiles,
The few that are abroad belong to one
or another OF the army or auxiliary or
hospital services, but there are no
scorchers. no pleasure tourist cars, no
gaudy limousines, neither are there any
yachts or motorboats tied up in the an

.jetties Of Cannes, where we used TO

Trains de Luxe AnnnlIed

Another difficulty is that of transpor-
tatiun. The famous cote d'Azur Rapidc
or limited train. has been noncNistent
ever since the war began, and i2 was a
train only to he compared with the eight
een-hour train from New York to Chi
cago of former days. II was consider
ably less Of a luxurious train, but it
was the best there was i'm Europe and
II ran az really express speed, was fitted
besides with sloepers and dining cars and
carried only eXtra-fare passengers.
In its place the present year was
train which took half as long again
for the journey-about as far as from
New York to Dctro,t-and seldom got
through on time, running often six, eight
and ten hours behind schedule, This was
bad enough, and in addition the accom-
nodation was so limited that one had
TO book places a week or more in ad-
vance. The other trains were decidedly
inferior, and besides there was the mat
ter of "safe-conduCNs" and a permis-
sion to enter the frontier department
ot the Alpes- Maritimes Of which Nice Is
The capital, which was only issued by
the military authority. The Mayor Of
Nice had authority from higher up for
