few days ago when the censorship

Chaumont has never been permitted to
be mentioned in connection with the
American forces.
The exact whereabouts of the general
headquarters of any force, allied or
enemy, is never revealed during hostili-
ties. The military reasons for this
secrecy are obvious and in this war the
airplane made it ever more necessary,
for Chaumont lies but a little flight
from what We're long German lines.
1t is an old and picturesque city, quiet
and conservative beyond even French
provincialism. 1t has water and gas
and electric lights, but no street rail-
ways and few places of amusement
even in normal times. 1t lies in the
center of an agricultural and grazing
district, is quite seat of education and
Historically very interesting, as indeed
is every city of its age in France.

ancient town with its narrow, tortuous
streets, its typical buildings with cur
ious towers and buttresses and arches
giving glimpses through half opened
gates or iron grills of quaint gardens
and quainter courts. Many of the
streets are too narrow to permit the
passage of wheeled vehicles and the big
staff motor cars find difficulty in navi-
eating the best of the old town streets
Extending outward on the high plateau
upon which the city is located is a
newer and modern Chaumont, a region
Of fine homes with extensive grounds
and comfortable residences of the we'll
TODD and middle classes. Here the
wide boulevards are tree-lined and
parked.
1t is in this eastern part of the pla-
teau that general headquarters are To-
Gated, occupying the French military
post turned owed to the Americans by
the French. Its three great concrete
barracks and numerous lesser build
ingS were renovated by the American
staff, electric lights installed, paint and
whitewash called into play and now in
rooms where once the poilus barracked
their great headquarters staff works.
Every office is connected by telephone
the central station being operated by
American girls.
The three large barrack buildings
form three sides of a great parade
ground. In the center building on the
second floor are the offices of General
Pershing and no soldiers work could
be more severe His own office and its
reception room are precisely like every
other office in the three buildings The
walls are whitewashed and practically
barren of ornament except for some
Liberty loan posters. A plain flat
topped oak desk stands between the
two windows and round about a few
plain yellow chairs. A stove and a
table against the wall complete the
furnishings.
Headquarters are situated on a wide,
tree-lined boulevard in the center of
which between two more rows Of fine
old shade trees, is a specious walkway
Until last Fourth of July this was
known as The Avenue de Fort Lambert
but on Independence Day, it was re-
christened Avenue DIES Etats Unis, Gen.

WOMEN ARE LEeisLATlNe AGAIN

CHICAGO Dec. 27-After discuss
ing means Of protecting children born
out of wedlock. the Illinois Woman's
Legislative Congress, which opened
two days session here today, went
on record as favoring automatic mar
riage of parents of such children. Such
marriage, according to sponsors of the
plan, would be annulled only by divorce
action. Opponents of the proposal said
is would flood the divorce courts. ass
forced marriages were seldom per-
manant.
The Congress also endorsed a pro-
posed law, presented by jeanette Bates
IN assistant attorney general, which
would provide right of minority sup
port for illegitimate children such as
legitimate offsprings possess. The
present law provides a Judgment Of
$3.50.

CHANGE LUBRICANT

This is the time of year when the
lubricant in the various gear cases
should be changed. This means that
the old lubricant should be removed
and the cases thoroughly flushed out
with kerosene. and then should be
filled to the level with a thinner Ia
bricant than was used during the
warm weather. A heavy cylinder
oil or a special grade of gear oil makes
a very satisfactory winter lubricant
for these units.

If the gasoline level is too high, the
carburetor will be flooded, while if
it is too low there will be a tendency
toward lean mixture and difficult

it is important that the carburetor
