PARIS, Dec. 26.-Never have there

The British mission has taken over

Another large hotel on the left bank

to have Its headquarters.
The visitors at the hotels comman-
deered by the government were only
given the shortest notice to clear out,

elsewhere followed.
Those who are apparently affected
the most are the American officers
who arrive In Paris from the 'front.'.
Everywhere they go they get the same
answer. Either the hotel has been

HOBOKEN BEATS
AMbOY N. H. A.
Local Team Plays Hard Game
But Loose Out by $500
Score

In a very exciting as well as slam
bang affair at the z. M. III. A. nall
Christmas eve the local Y. NJ. H. A.
basketball team went down to defeat
at the hands of the clever i've repre-
senting the Hoboken Y. NJ. II. A The
local lineup Tuesday night made q
much better showing than they did In
their first game. and although the
Hobokenites won by q comfortable
margin they had to go at top-notch
speed to retain their lead. The frst
half started of with the locals lead
ing, but the visitors quickly over
hauled them and although never over
taken were constantly in danger OF
being passed.
The local combination lost out
mainly because of its lack of team
work. Time and again the Amboy
team would capture the ball only to
lose il on poor passing or the alb
sence OF any team work. The HoDo-
ken contingent had the locals baf-
fled with their splendid passing and
pretty shooting. But although defeat
seemed inevitable after the nrst half
the PAGERS team battled with might
and main until the final whistle.
Harry Brickman played a splendid
game at the guarding position and
every once In O while would cruise
around the floor on the offensive. He
scored two baskets. I'VE" Wilentz
and "Sailor Lewandorf played hard
games at forward. Dubow proved a
great aid as a guard as Brickman's
partner, but the cl~everness of tn
Hoboken team was too much for h

What Fitting Your Walk tO

petite type, quite pretty, and there is something boyish and charming i1 her new carriage-the trim little fig- ure stalking along in attempted man. nish strides. But
 Adjust Walk to Costume.
 Unfortunately, she has made this stride a permanent habit. In the softest of afternoon frocks, in a dainty, lacy evening gown, she still strides in masculine fashion. Picture the incongruity of this!
 A gown commands a certain type of carriage just as a street costume com mands it's certain type of hat. Minc- ing, tiny steps in combination with 8 motor corps, khaki uniform look ab- surd. Similarly, you cannot stri1& about in mannish fashion when you wear a soft, clinging gown. It spells the ensemble-and destroys all the value of an otherwise beautiful cos- tune.
 It is well, when wearing a suit Or a gown for the first time, to practice standing and walking before a mirror. It isn't necessary to acquire absurd affectations of walk or carriage. But l you can endeavor to adjust your hab- | ituaI types of walking to the character of the frock you're wearing, Whether you look stunning or mediocre in a | costume depends just as much on | your way of wearing it as upon it's fit.

Paris Oct. 18.-The American Sec retary of War, Newton D. Baker, on arriving in France, called upon Miss Katherine B. Lansing and Miss Elm ma s. Lansing, of Watertown, N. Y, sisters of the American Secretary of State, who have organized a Red Cross canteen for wounded American soldiers at a French port. MT. Ba- kers call was unofficial and intended as a matter of courtesy to his col league in the United States cabinet, but he manifested interest in the work accomplished by the Misses Lansing, and congratulated them up- on their recent decoration with the French War Cross for service render ed under fire.
 The Misses Lansing have organized here a canteen for distributing sand. wiches, hot drinks, cigarettes and | chocolates to the wounded men re- | turning to America. In the delays

VOLUNTEER NOW! /! MORE NURSES
 NEEDED

Nurses! Nurses! Nurses are need ed in this city. The situation has become drastic. The contagion has spread quickly and the influenza has gripped the population in every dis trict. In some homes three, four and in various cases even more mem bers of one family are stricken with the disease. Those who are i'll have a tendency to worry and fear fatal re- suits. They need encoura cement and proper care-and this can only be given them by nurses in attendance.
 Last year a number of women in this city took advantage of the nurs- ing courses offered by the Red Cross. Those who had the opportunity and have had the advantage of these courses are now requested to offer their services in helping reduce the alarming situation of the spreading epidemic.
 Nurses who enter the homes of those suffering from the influenza are well protected from contracting the disease by wearing masks. The doctors are working day and night, but nurses must aid. Spreading of the epidemic is to be checked. You women who know something about nurses, get in touch with the Red Cross or the Board of Health ,or call Barnum 477C and all information regarding this work will be cheerfully given. Dc this at once! Every moment lost is precious.

APPLE DESERT.

A desert is necessary for dinner un- less a great amount of sweets have been served during the day, then 8 salad, or a few nuts or a bit of fruit could be substituted for the sweet dessert
 Honeyed apHees make nice and wholesome finish to many dinners. They give the sweet necessary, as we'll as the fruit, which one should have at least once a day and apples are splendid for the acid and miner al they give.
 To make these apples take six me dium sized apples, six tablespoons of honey, six teaspoons of butter, and Il cup of hot water. Pare and core the apples. Place them in a baking pan and fill the centers of each ap pie with a tablespoon of honey and a teaspoon of butter; add the hot water, cover the pan and place in a rather quick oven. When the boiling point Is reached, reduce the heat, so that the apples will bake gently. Turn the apples once in a while. A few minutes before the apples are done remove the upper pan and let them brown a little. Serve either with whipped cream or warm honey Plain boiled rice can be improved by serving hot with a date sauce. Wash q cup of dates and remove the stones Soak three hours in water to more | than cover and simmer until soft Strain and add teaspoon of lemon | juice.

SAVE FRUIT STONES FOR
 GAS MASKS

When the Germans first began to use poisonous gases, they took our al- lies by surprise. It had not been thought possible that any modern pow CT claiming to be civilized could thus deliberately violate all internac,onai agreements.
 The first attacks consisted of drift gas, so-called Chlorine was dis charged from cylinders pointed over toward the allied trenches. It of course would do its work only when the wind was favorable.
 Gas shells have now taken the place mostly of drift gas These pro- jectiles may contain as much as six pounds of poisonous material, and can be placed with accuracy, Not merely are they terribly poisonous and irritating, but the sneeze gases present an almost irresistible tempta- tion for the soldier to throw off his mask. The burning gases produce distressing wounds that incapacitate him for months.
 The American gas service now commands the ablest chemists of the country, and it is promised that the Hun will be repaid with interest for his atrocious crimes.
 In the earlier masks, the friction of drawing air through the mask was so great as to be equal to lifting a column of water in tube to the height of six inches. This was an ef- fort about like what a sufferer with asthma has to make to breathe which of course must interfere with | the fighting power of the troops. The masks have however been greatly improved, and gas warfare 1 has not been able to keen back oul 1 troops. But a high grade of charcoa | is needed to fill the masks. This is 1 best obtained from the stones ot 1 peaches, prunes and other fruits. Sc we should keep in mind the suffering of our boys from this hellish form o1 warfare, and carefully preserve ant
 deliver all the material of this kint | that we can save.
