YANKEE COINS GAINING FAVOR
Now Accepted in Lieu of French
Money in Small Shops of
Paris.

Paris.-The continued arrival of
American soldiers in France loaded to
the 'tgunwales" with United States
money has resulted in Yankee coins
gaining considerable favor in France.
In many small shops they are accept

Newspaper vendors, boat ticket sell

MES would much rather accept an
American nickel or couple of cents
than change a five-franc note.
The French like the American FIVE
cent piece "Elle est jolie," they say,
comparing it with the French coin of
the same denomination, which has a
square hole in the center. They don't
think so much of the American cop
pers. Being hardly half as large as
the sou they have been accustomed to,
they can't see why it has the same
value.
Dimes are accepted readily for half
franc, but quarters and half dollars,

standard. find it hard shedding to get

ACTIVE DUTY PLEAsEs men
Squadron Of Twelve Commanded by

Big Warships-one of Fate's
Queer Twists.

London.-A contingent of II Ameri-
can submarine chasers played bril-
liant and novel part in the Durazzo en-
gagement. This chaser, squadron ef-
fectively acted as a screen around the
big ships engaged in the bombardment
to protect them against submarines.
The Americans were under heavy fire,
but had no casualties.
Capt. C.. p. Nelson and Lieut. Com.
p. III. Bastedo commanded the squad
ron. A large percentage of the officers
and men were of the naval reserve
and reports of the operation praise
their work highly.
The Americans definitely sank one
submarine and damaged and probably
destroyed another. After the engage
ment they escorted a British cruiser
which had been hit by torpedo safely
to the base from which the expedition
started An enemy hospital ship was
also taken in charge for examination.
Active Duty Pleases Men.
Throughout the bombardment and
when the forces were approaching the
harbor the chasers circled swiftly
around the big ships. A report received
here says the men had a good time and
evidently were pleased with the sue
cess of the first achievement of this
character the chasers had attempted
to work. Heretofore they have been
patrolling, dropping depth charges and
firing on enemy submarines.
