YANKEE. TOWN IN FRANCE
First Night of Allied Occupation oi
Chateau Thierry Had Social At
mosphere OF Old Home Week

L.eslies: Along the wide semi
circle to the, north OF US the guns
were blasting in an Overlapping
roar. Rumor came that the boche
was strongly counter attacking
That night and the next morning
he did make a strong stand, but
there was a certain grim humor TO
the words enemy counter attack,
when the whole business OF the Of
fensive was supposed to have start
ed as his affair. We wondered how
much farther back Jerry'' effort
would leave him this time.
That first night in Chateau Thier-
~ had the social atmosphere OF an
old-home week. The rising OF the
moon followed The long sunset light
and in the relaxation Of the soft
evening air friends wandered about
the streets, talking, joking, laughing.
1t was a Yankee town, Jerry and his
big guns were somewhere, but they
weren't bothering us.
AT last we headed to our private
quarters. The huge bed was just as
comfortable as it looked, but about
an hour later | suddenly jumped en-
tirelv clear from its embraces. Jerry
had remembered us after all. There
was a crash which went beyond any
thing | had ever heard and I've had
a fairly thorough initiation at that.
The roar OF that bomb rolled down
the gully OF the narrow street and
in at those open windows as il the
sound itself were out for victims.
Next came the visitor flying low
over the roofs, down the street,
spraying us with his machine gun.
In the morning ! discovered that
it was not alone my imagination
which had credited that bomb with
a record crash. Everybody had some
thing to say about it. Jerry had been

CONSERVATION

As the country stars upon its era
of conservation which is for the pur-
pose Of releasing food supplies need
ed abroad without incurring unnec-
essary stringency at home, it might
be well to consider again just what
conservation means, and how it is
best accomplished.
In the first place, conservation
does not mean either going without
or boarding. True conservation con-
ssts simply in the elimination of
waste in the use of any commodity.
There should be always in every
household, regardless of emergency
or international demands, a careful
canvas OF supplies on hand before
anything is bought. Purchases
should be made in accordance with
prepared program OF consumption.
There must be an understanding
on the part OF the purchaser OF food
values and their proper combination,
to insure the purchase only OF prorer
kinds and amounts.
Food bought thus carefully, pre-
pared carefully and without waste,
means meals Of the first grade at a
minimum cost, which is to every
body's advantage.
The final step is the saving of ev-
cry particle of usable food material
after the meal, and its future use in
tastefully prepared.
There is no hardship in such pro-
gram. 1t is distinctly to the bene-
fit of the household and by the mere
Of waste OF food we shall
set free quantities of food sufficient
for the millions OF hungry people
abroad.

A HYPOTHETICAL CASE.

Theodore Roosevelt would have
made had he been President OF the
United States at this time, sciatca

respondent, whom We suspect OF
placing a higher value on talk than
on achievement, inquiries: What
would you have said ii Theodore
Roosevelt, being President, had done
the same thing as President Wilson
contemplates doing today?'
Well, we should have said, in
effect:
Theodore, we strongly advise you
to remain at home.
"Firstly, because you are tempera-
mentally untitled to participate IN
peace conference, all your active lie
having been devoted to the promo
ton OF strife.
"!Secondly, because you have al
ready condemned as inadmissibIe
most of the IA points upon which
the world has enthusiastically agreed
to terminate its four-years' strife and
therefore your proposal to attend a
peace conference called for the pur-
pose of celebrating the details would
be preposterous.
"Thirdly because the sincerity OF
any representations YOU might make
on our bchaf to the representatives
of foreign Governments would be
distrusted on the basis OF your past
political record. You are now hand

THE CHILD LABOR TAX

Making the prevention Of child
labor a matter of taxes aud incor-
poratiro if in the revenue bin seems
surorisinc thing at first considcra-
ton. There is swift Fl sh Of feel
ing that it is taxing the blood Of
children But second thought con-
vincce the most casual observer Of
conditions that the plan is extreme
ly wise. There is only one thing
which appeals to the employers OF
child labor. and that is the financial
aspect Of the matter. There is only
one place where they arc sensitive to
any sort Of appeal, aud that is the
pocketbook.
Laws, apparently, are regarded
merely rs things to be evaded tests
pi wits against wits. When it comes
to humanity. there are dozen spec
ious arguments which appear TO sat
isfy their consciences But putting
good big tax on the profits of this
inhuman exploitation OF the ma
tons future citizens ought, logic
ally. to operate as an effective check.
The Pomerene provision seeks to
impose 10 per cent tax over and
above all other taxes on mills, can
neries, workshops and factories en-
ploying children between IA and 10
if they work them in excess OF eight
hours a day.
1t is worth noting that two SEN
ators who voted against this meas
ure come from cotton mill states,
where children are largely employed.

ENEMY MAY REQUIRE
MORE TIME TO HAND
OVER LOCOMOTIVES

Paris, Dec. Sit appears that
the Germans will be unable to
hand over all the 5000 locomotives
stipulated in the armistice agree
ment by Dec. Il, according to the
Matin. and it is possible that the al
lies will grant more time. This will
have the effect of delaying peace nc
gotiations. since thev cannot begin
until all the armistice conditions
have been fulfilled.
Discussions between the allied del
cgations to the peace conference
probably will begin Dec. 20, with
President Wilson taking part per
sonally.

FAMOUS FRENCH POET
ROSTAND HELD l3 AS
HIS LUCKY NUMBER"

Paris, Dec. 3.-Edmond Rostand
the famous French poet and play
wright before whose genius kings
were proud to bow, VINO died yester-
day from la grippe, was the son OF
Eugene Rostand, a noted economist,
and was born in Marseilles. April !,
1868. He combined with high skill in
stage craftsmanship the idealism OF
poet, dreamer and moralist.
He first came into prominence as
an author in 1888 when his "Le Cant
Rouge" a vaudeville sketch, was
produced in Paris. About that time a
small volume OF poems entitled les
MusardiSes" appeared and attracted
attention. Subsequently Rostand
wrote other compositions, always in
verse. and was soon clacsed with
such European literary men as Mae
terinck.
The more important OF these plays
in the order OF their production,
were LES Romanesques' (lS94);
LA Princes Lointaine,' (lS95); ia
Samaritaine," $500; "Cyrano de
Bergerac," (lS97); "L'Aiglon,"
(190l and "Chantecler" (lol0. Ros-
tant was at the height of his popu-
larity when "Chanteclcr" was pro-
duced in Paris. Seats sold for $50
and the American rights for its pre-
Sentation cost 4 fortune.
"Cyrano" originally had been writ
ten for the French actor NJ. Coque-
lin, who died before rehcarsals.
Coquelin and a partner paid $50,0OO
for the play. 1t added to the fame
OF Richard Mansfield and "L'Aiglon"
to that OF Maude Adams, both OF
whom starred the United States in
those productions.
Rostand had been made member
of the French Academy, had been
raised to the rank OF commander
of the Legion OF Honor, had rcceiv-
ed a grand diploma for writing
"Chantecler." had ben lionized Al
many brilliant assemblageS, had
dined with King Edward VII at
Biarritz and was admired by all
classes. Once he interpreted "Cyra-
no" before an audience OF workmen
in Paris.
Sued BY Chicagoan.
In 1910 a real estate dealer in Chi

to court and submitted what he al
