WITH THE AMERICANS IN
PICARDY, May 31.-(Night)-
In the face of the heaviest bonn
: bardments and almost constant
counter attacks the Americans are
proving they are just as good at
holding onto a bit Of territory as
they are at capturing it.
The same dash and determine
ton is marking their consolidation
and occupation of the newly won
ground at Cantigny, as they dis
played in its acquisition, bringing
the highest praise from the
French soldiers and officers in
this region.
American aerial observers told
me that the greatest sight they
ever witnessed was the advance of
our infantry into Cantigny. At
first they refused to mention their
own exploits. Later, however,
they admitted they had flown as
low as so yards over the heads of
the infantrymen.
During the battle practically all
their work of maintaining COM
munication between the artillery
and infantry was done at a height

Ode to Army Blankets

Here's a bit of real soldier dog
gerel, inclosed in a soldiers let
ter from France, author unknown
1t is said to be one of the most
popular ballads in use among
members of the American eXpedi-
tionary force:
I'm here, with my army blankets,
AS thin as a slice of ham;
A German spy, | think, was the
guy
Who made EN- for Uncle Sam
How do ] sleep? Don't kid me
My bedtick is filled with straw
And Jumps and humps and big fat
bumps
That punch me until I'm raw
Me and my two thin blankets,
AS thin as my last thin dime;
AS thin, l guess, as chorus girl s
dress;
Well, ! have one heck of a time
| pull 'em up from the bottom,
(My night,es are B. V. D.'s)
A couple of yanks to cover my
shanks,
And then my tootsies freeze.
You could use EN- for porous plas.
ters,
Or maybe to strain the soup;
My pillows my shoes when | try
to snooZe,
And I've chilblains and cough
and Group.
Me and my two thin blankets
Bundled up under my chin;
Yes, a German spy, think, wa!
the guy,
And, gosh he made EN- thin.

Maybe Bibb
Has It Now

When Mrs. Joe Morris, 4531
South G street set her ash-boiler
out in the back yard to dry while
she took a walk, she naturally
hoped it would be there when she
came back. But was it? Oh dear
no!
When she returned, a neighbor
pleasantly informed her in the
course of conversation that junk
wagon No. 80 had called and
taken 1t away! So she COM
planned to police about it. A pair
of go-get-'em sleuths were sent
out to investigate, and they'll
doubtless recover 1t.

French Sufragists
Are Still Militant

If any one imagines that the war has
stamped out feminism in France let
him ask Mile. Marguerite Clement, a
professor of French literature in The
University of Paris, who is officially
representing her government in the
United States. though she unofficially
represents French feminists whenever
she can get word in edgewise. Mile.
Clement spoke yesterday to the men,
bers of the Query Club at a luncheon
at the National Arts Club, and got sew
eral words in to the effect that French
feminism is decidedly on the upward
slant.
"Our suffragists were the women
who showed initiative when the war
began" she said, land adaptability as
it went on. The ants, they made very
good nurses, but they did not do the
things the suffragists did"
Mile. Clements work in the United
States was described as propaganda
against"the American atrocities against
the French language" and she admits,
when questioned, that she has come to
America in the interests of the French
language and literature. She is speak
ing before college and university audi
ences, library associations and clubs.
1--WE French women do no% lay all our
emphasis on strictly war work." she
said yesterday. 1--WE have found that
social service work at home is just as
important as the actual war work, and
the suffragists have made it point to
keep things just as straight at home
as they could"
