DOughboys Love Hot
Chocolate Soldiers
By Frank j. Taylor

Omitted Press staff correspondent
With the American Army in France,
June 19,-(By mail)---It gets mighty
chilly along toward morning in the
trenches, and fellow needs something
hot to cheer him up and keep him
awake.
So figured Charles Sinkler of Phila-
dclphia and Harry G. Underwood of
New York, who run a canteen for the
Red Cross in a village two kiometers
from the lines, a place the Germans de-
light in shelling even though it's but
a mass of ruins now.
One of these men couldn get into
the army because he was tco old, so he
gave up his law practice to come over
and help the boys. The other had to do
something and this was the only job
he could land, near the front.
Every niaht these two men make up
gallons of hot chocolate, and at mid
night they wend their way out dark
roads through muddy trenches and
give the doughboys on duty hot choeo-
late.
One point which they derive is
where French lines join with Ameri-
can. Here you see Frenehmen and AM
orleans waiting eagerly for their cho-
colate, Officers with the men, each
holding his cup You see it if You can
sec in darkness, fer this is the very
front, the farthest out that any work

"Those fellows ought to be decorat-
cd, said one appreciative doughboy.
"You don t mind coming out here
with q gun when you can shoot. But
you eouldn' t dodge she'll if you had
to, carrying those big buckets of cho-
eolate.

might observe the hole in the ground
or the ladder occurred to me as lay
there, and it seemed like an age be-
fore he finally marched out of ear

wire again, retrieved the lace and once
again made my way to Dutch terri
tory.

CHAPTER XVII.
GETTING Through the Lines.

1ChADiB sstC &bf@Ss
Waiting until 1t was quite dark, /
made my way carefully through
field and eventually came to the much
dreaded barrier.
1t was all that I had heard about it.
Every foot of the border line between
Belgium and Holland is protected In
precisely the same manner. 1t is there
to serve three purposes: first, to pre-
vent the Belgians from escaping into
Holland; second to keep enemies, like
myself, from making their way to free
dom; and third, to prevent assertions
on the part Of Germans themselves.
One look was enough to convince any
one that it probably accomplished all
three objects about as well as any con-
trivance could and one look was all /
got Of 1t that night, for while | lay
on my stomach gazing at the forbid
ding structure / heard the measured
stride Of n German sentry advancing
towards me and I crawled away as
fast as | possibly could, determined
to spend the night somewhere in the
fields and make another and more
careful survey the following night.
The view / had obtained, however,
was sufficient to convince me that the
poIe-vault idea was out of the ques-
tion even If had pole and was a
proficient pole-vaulter The three
fences covered a span Of at least twelve
feet and to clear the last barbed wire
fence it would be necessary to vault
not only at least ten feet high, but at
least fourteen feet wide, with the GER
tain knowledge that to touch the cleo
trically charged fence meant instant
death. There would be no second
chance ii you came cropper the first
time.
The silt idea was also impractical
BILE because of the lack of suitable
timber and tools with which to con-
struct the stills.
1t seemed to me that the best thing
TO do was travel up and down the line
bit in the hope that some spot might
be discovered where conditions were
more favorable although / don't know
just what | expected along those
lines.
1t was mighty d!sheartening to real
lie that only few feet away lay Ger
tain liberty and that the only things
preventing me from reaching 1T were
three confounded fences. | thought Of

MARKET LETTER By R. Allyn Lewis

A continuation of irregularity with realizing is expected during which pools are likely to make some of the spe- cialties strong, being favorable to American Sumatra, Pittsburg Coal, and Allis Chalmers. Offerings of long stocks are appearing apparently from speculative channels in American Beet Sugar above 80. Baldwin S1, and Ma rine preferred 101. Well informed quarters are suggesting purchases for turns on recessions in American Car Foundry and Fruit
 Trading in Liberty bonds attracted attention because of heavy dealings in the second As which rose from s96. IA to S97.26 compared with low record short time ago of $94.70.
 The big influence in commission houses was the impression that 41s per cent bond even without tax exempt features would sell easily. The argu- ment was advanced that such a bond issue would give room for a stimulat- ing effect on the stock market but might make for weakness in bonds.
 Rails show no weakness and these shares will gradually grow into invest ment holdings and add to the stability of the market.
 There have been rumors out that Baldwin report would not be as pleas ing as anticipated but best information available says between six and seven 1 million dollars on common with fina earnings showing close to $30 per share on common.
