THE THANKFUL POILU
Never Fail to Thank the Surgeon for
Treatment

Behind the Allied Lines, Sept.
%, Correspondence of The Associa-
ted Pressl-Even though suffering,
French Loilus emerging from the
ether in the numerous hospitals to
the rear, have never been known to
fail to bestcw upon the operating sur
geon the French offer Of thanks by a
sentimental "Merci."
American physicians have been as
tonished at the amazing regularity
which the poilus show their gratitude
for their services. After the most
painful undertakings and the most
critical operations, the "Merci'' is
never forgotten when the soldiers of
France "come to-"
"The Poilu is an exception when it
comes to undergoing medical and
surgical treatment" said an Ameri-
can physician. "He is the most I'M
complaining and in the same degree
the most thankful patients in the
hospitals"

PRESS COMMENT
No Mans Land

Between the trenches lies No
Mans Land. In it there is no life
and no hope.
Heated activity prevails all around,
yet it remains a place of death, de-
cay and stagnation. The armies of
all the nations at war help to make
the territory uninhabitable.
The most aroused and determined
enemies have this in common-a
fixed adherence, a lasting contempt
for the ugliness and degradation of
No Mans Land.
The masses who serve and sacri-
fee at home, with mental agony that
is physical pain, know also a No
Mans Land. 1t belongs to those who
shirk war duty.
Behind the mask of needless lux
ury or thoughtless extravaganza,
however brilliant the tinsel or lively
the music, Turks always the filthy
abomination of No Mans Land.
The industrious armies fighting I'M
der the banner of War Thrift breathe
the pure air of self-respecting SER
vice. They live in clean and happy
environment because they have so
much in common with those who
suffer and those who die for the
cause.
Shun No Mans Land! Avoid it
like the plague, for that way leads
to destruction.

FURS SCARCER
So Paris CamouAages with WooIIy
and Satin Novelties

Furs are TO become scarcer and a
new supply is not anticipated, as the
trappers have gone to war and the
soldiers sent to Siberia and Russia
were not sent out without. an effort
to mitigate the temperature Of the
northerly climate.
The very high priced furs and the
very cheapest remain in market, but
the dema~7 is not great. This is not
encouraging, but we still have Paris
to depend upon. Not that Paris can
supply US with furs-far from it
for there are now very few furs
left except American ones. What we
do depend upon France for is some
thing which will take the place of
fur and satisfy our longing for the
beautiful. Our ally has never failed
US, either in adversely OF in the little
things of life which keep our inter
est fresh.
If We lack furs, novelties are forth
coming in the way of woolly novel
ties and the cleverest of ways in
which to wear them. If wool is short
Paris inyents the newest of ways to
make satin and little lining takes
its place. And so it goes; she never
fails US. Among some of her latest
offerings are neck arrangements on
the scarf-hke order, designed to take
the place of fur.
Black silk braid trims many of the
velvet suits, and one costume is Dor
dered in white even about the bottom
of the skirt

Women Do Farm Work

Kansas girls and young women
have learned to operate the big and
little tractors on the farms. At
Salina twcnty-six girls formed a club
called "The Joy Workers Tractor
Girls" 1t came about through the
demand of the farmers to see the
tractors operated by women. The
selling agents had advertised that
any capable woman could be a trac-
tioneer. So the manufacturers gath
cred up some of the best-known
young women in Salina who could
drive their own cars and made trac-
tioneers out of them in the course of
a week and had the twenty-six girls
doing all the stunts with a tractor
that any of the men tried to do
Some of the girls were actually bet
ter operators of the largest machines
than some of the experienced men.
The manufacturers and agents saw
great possibilities in the women. be-
cause they kept their machines clean,
never allowing grease and dirt to
accumulate where it might affect
the wearing parts-Brattlcbor Re-
former.

IN THE QUIET
SECTORS AT WORK
Here's Where the Americans Get
Their Final Touches

With the, American Armies in
France, Sept. 21.-In the "quiet sec
tors where the American troops are
getting the final touches to their
training, the men are studiously
schooled in noting the slightest, the
most seemingly unimportant activity
of the enemy.
Every artillery observer, advanced
sentinel and lookout, must report
with exactitude and detail all that he
sees on the other side of the line.
The reports are collected, compared
by the intelligence department OF
each division OF unit and transferred
to maps. The daily map is supple
mented by the weekly map.
On the maps of one American di-
vision are two clearly defined lines
showing exactly the position of the
German and the American trenches.
On the American side of the line the
on the map in the. morning there will
be pinned numerous little red cirlces,
indicating the points shelled by the
Germans during the day preceding
On the German side of the lines are
small black figures wearing spiked
helmets indicating troop movements
OF crossed spades and picks showing
where working parties. have been
seen.
Scarlet little airplanes likewise dot
the map on both sides of the line
where enemy machines have beer
seen. They bear indications likewise
to make clear at a. glance what hap
pened to the NEUTRALITY-SUSPICIOUS. they
were driven off by anti-aircraft guns
whether they were attacked by allied
planes, and what they wer doing

photographing reconnaissance, o.
bombing.
Other placards of cardboard show
the movement of trains. The pos
session of such indications is of value
to tn artillery the next time ther'
is movement behind the lines.
| There are further insignia for indi
eating telephone work, digging ant
the score Of other activities that g
on behind any line. Several con
sccutive maps may, and frequently
do, reveal continued German activiit
of certain kinds at given points tina
may be checked by the artillery o
other means.

RUMANIA MAY JOIN
Growing Belief That Her Army Will
Swing to Allies Side

Paris, Sept. II, Correspondence of
The Associated Press)-There is a
steadily growing belief in Rumania
that if the German domination and
oppression continues, there may be an
uprising among the people; particul-
arly if the food and clothing famine
is not relieved. There are many who
feel, says prominent Rumanian,
who has just returned here from Jas
sy, that it may not be impossible that
The Rumanian army will again take
up arms against the central powers.
This conviction, said he, is the
stronger since the recent decisive vic
tories Of the allies on the western
front.
Already there is grave unrest
among the peasants, who are forced
by the German agents to work long
and laboriously in farm and factory,
with scarcely sufficient wages to buy
heir daily bread. The Germans are
thoroughly disliked by all from the
royal family down to the humblest
peasant.
The belief that the Rumanian army
may fight again prevails not only
among the people, but in military cir
cles. Officers are confident that, with
Americas legions now participating
in the struggle on the western front
and their number steadily increasing,
The central powers will be compelled
to divert all their troops from other
fronts to the field of operations in
France in order to check the fast
moving allies. This would be an OPP
Fortune moment, these observers be
lieve, for Rumania to throw off the
yoke of Germany and re-establish its
army in the field as an aid of the
allies.

How the World is. Learning

The war is a great educator. 1t
gives the people daily lessons IN
geography, science, history and the
life and habits of foreign nations.
Japan has rice riots and everybody
learns that rice is the bread OF
japan. Before the war rice riots IN
japan would have passed unnoticed,
but now they form part of the war
news and people want to know all
about them.
No mart of the globe is better
known than Belgium and northern
France Millions in all countries
have followed the armies all over the
ground. Daily maps furnish pictures
of it to make the lesson easier to
learn. 81
Tanks, aeroplanes, submarines, mo-
tor. boats, torpedoes, with their spe-
cial equipment, are all in the wal
news. How are they made. How dc
thew work? Why do. they travel
fast, or why don't they travel faster
Everyone wants to know. It's part Of
the, war
Never before was there so mucf
interest in anything of public I'M
portance because never before were
there so many ways of creating anC

ton and intellectual activity now de
voted to war questions can be turn

States Bureau of Fisheries and the
United States Food Administration
Regular weekly shipments of carload

ton, and the distribution is under the
direction of state and city food adj
ministrators in cooperation with the
Bureau of Fisheries.
Ten carload lots, aggreating more
than 100000 pounds, have already
been distributed in this way. Each

WAR CRY OF THE
ITALIAN AIRMEN
Adapted by the Poet d'Annunzio and
Centuries Old

Rome, Oct 4-"Eja! Ella! Ella!
Alalaw is the war cry of the
Italian aviators, adapted by the poet
and daring airman, Gabrielle dan
nunzio, from war cry centuries old
The carly French Crusaders used
as their marching order the single
word, "Outre," meaning beyond or
further cn-in brief, forward. This
was taken up by their Italian COM
rades as "Outreja" or "Ultreja,' and
this in turn was shortened into ella"
For centuries thereafter the call of
Italian sentinels at night was Ella.
vigila J" and the echoes repeated,
Ella, vigila!" (The j is of course,
sounded as y and the call is thus
pronounced "ay-yah")
The second word Of D'Annunzio' S
battle cry pronounced "Ah-Iah-lah,' u
with the accent on the last syllable)
is simply the immemorial hunting cry
common to many languages. "Hal-
lali!'' was the old French form and
"Hallilo!" and "Halloon' and the
"vieu halIoo" are, of course, famili-
az. to she English; from which, in
deed, the universal "Hellow of the
telephone call. There are those who
would derive this from the ancient
Hebrew "halal," meaning to shine
whence E'halelu" or 'spraise ye. anc
finally 'hallelu-Jah." or "Praisc w
Jehovah. y This Identification of {
religious ejaculation with hunting
call may be fantastic, but of the
hunting call itself there can be M
question. 1t has long been as familiar
to Italy as to France and England
as witness CarduccTs. use of it in hi
Lullaby of Charles the Fifth

Ad una caccia eterna con tie surge.

sader and the huntsnan, "Eia
