PROPOSED TO BY
 AN ENTIRE ARMY

Paris, November H.-Miss Helen Besler, daughter of the president of the Cen tral railroad of New Jersey, is probably the most proposed-to girl in France to- day. It all came about because one night in one of the American camps she ran out of ''encoresr and sang little nurs- cry song called. If No one Ever Marries Me- It goes like this:
 If no one ever marries me-
 And don't see why they should,
 For nurse says I'm not pretty,
 And I'm seldom very good
 The direful fate of the little girl in the song was to buy rabbit-hutch and live all alone in a little wood But the American soldiers saw no reason why Miss Besler, who is pretty and petite and a typical American girl should have a similar lot After they had given her the three cheers and a tiger with which they usually thank the Young Men Christian association entertainers, they hesitated a moment and then added purely personal message:
 "Barkis is wiling, called the American expeditionary force as one man.

 cial expenses. The president of the
 division committee proudly announced
 that the soldiers had raised 5e0 rubles
 for the event and wished to add 1t to the amount given by the associatino. He
 said, further. that all committees re- ported the same vote taken the pre-
 vious evening, namely, that it was their unanimous wish that after the decora- tions were bought and the necessary expenses met, the rest of the money
 should be spent, not in paying for some-
 thing for themselves, but in buying little Christmas gifts for the children
 of our morning school. Then Papin- ossiff reported such demand for tick cts that, in order to be sure that no
 man should be denied one evening at the show, there would have to be a
 run of five nights. Further, we de- cided to invite the women of Micnavichi

came around-12 days after ours-the
 bolsheviki made good their threat to

 men from our sector however, gave
 up all talk of going home for while,
 and began to discuss the big event. That, indeed, was worth staying for
 week of two longer. For it was ru-
 mored throughout the reserves that the "kioob'' was to give Christmas celebration. I think it is safe to say that not a man deserted from our di- vision during the few days interven- ing between the official announce ment of the Christmas tree-to-he and
 the actual fulfilment of the promise And even politics was forgotten.
 It was decided to devote two or three
 evenings to the festivities, beginning

 General Sibert summed up the ac- complishments of the service as rol- lows:
 "The chemical warfare service came into existence as such July 13, lelo, py executive order, and is, therefore, Cne of the newest services of the war de- partment Notwithstanding this fact, when the armiStice was signed, this service was in 8 position to perform US full function at least as effectively as that of any other bureau of the war department. This function was 10 manufacture gas, load it into shells, devise additional appliances for dellv- ering it, and to provide defensive ap- pliances for protection of the troops against similar devices on the part or the enemy
 "On November II, plants for the manufacture of the standard gases were in operation with manufactur- ing capacity greater than that or Eng land and France combined, which ca pacity would have been trebled in the case of certain gases before the b"- ginring of the new year.
