In The Days News

General Paul Pau, who is now in the
United States on his way to Australia
at the head OF a mission OF French
army officers, is a famous veteran OF
the Franco-Prussian war Despite his
advanced age he ano rendered efficient
service in tie field during the early
part Of the present gigantic struggle
During the war Of 1870. General Pau
he was a general even then-was not
involved in any of the disastrous de-
fcats administered by the Prussian'
BY superior strategy or perhaps good
fortune, Pau's men were for the most
part victorious. For that reason then
Pau has been an idol and popular hero
with the French people for almost half
a century. Unlike General Joifre, Pau
most emphatically is not a disciple of
Napoleon and does not believe in
Napoleonic TACTICS in war.

Greek Stamp Sales
( Total Over $4,000

With approximately $500 counted,
John Sinoupolo and s. C. Palasas who
had charge of the ST. George Hellenic
Orthodox society OF Greeks OF Okla
homa City, made their returns to the
War Savings bank last evening, with
some sales uncounted.
Unlike other drives conducted in the
city the Greeks determined and
planned that every sheet OF stamps or
bonds broken into by partial sales
should be sold BY the individual s1les-
man and checked against him until en-
tirely sold or taken az a personal con-
tributon. As sheets contain eighty
war savings stamps and 800 thrift
stamps, until the returns from all the
outstanding broken sheets are made,
the full days sales by the seventy.nnc
Greeks of the city will not be known.
