FIRST AMERICAN TELE-
 PHONE GIRLS IN FRANCE

When the first group of American women telephone operators arrived in Paris in March they found awaiting them comfortable living quarters which had been made ready fer them. according to the War Work Council of the Y w. C. A. Miss Mary George White writing from Paris of this work, says:
 The Y. w. C. A. accepted says: the responsibility offered t by the Army. Before the girls arrived the Signal Corps officer in charge of the first group came with a request for help. The Y. w. C. A.. recognizing that these arrivals might be the fore runner of an American organization similar to the British W A. A. C., gladly undertook the task.
 Tt was easy for the telephone op- eratcrs assigned to Paris to live at the Hotel Petrograd. our Hostess House there. Those assigned to the interior could be looked out for by secretaries in certain other places. Workers were fortunately already at the first town chosen south Of Paris For the fairly large group, however. who were assigned to General Headquarters. some provision had to be made. As I was the only secretary with permit o-a h1ipO tra1- fpnaiy in tho Army zone. I was assigned to that task.
 'R'The town where the general head quarters is situated is, Of course, very much crowded but we were fortunate enough to obtain a house which had been rented and fitted out at a club house by group of officers just before they were transferred to another post. The house had been furnished very modestly for the most part. consider ing the wealth and rank of the reserve officers who had planned 10 use it. and we could take over the furniture al- most without exception. The men had added such things as extra bathrooms and a central heating plant to miti- gate the horrors of Army life in France. We were delighted to fall heir to these luxuries. Sufficient equipment was added to make it pos sible for three or four persons instead of one to occupy each Of the large

KULTUR AND COWARDIcE,

German Kultur has robbed the present war of all chiyalry
 In former conflicts, even between savages men have fought and have goried stand up in their might and take and give decide the gage of battle
 Heretofore there has been spirit of fair play and whose grim duty it shed the blood of their enemies have forgotten that they human beings with self-respect maintain.
 The Huns, perverted by the horrible doctrines of force and terrorism alone warning nations ha lost all regard for honor They discarded all of that nobility that the soldier esteems so highly Warmad they have descended to practices that would shame they have lost the respect world and conscience still reposes the the under lngs of the kaiser the day will come when they will be shamed realize that their sefesteem has vanished
 They have slain women, have deformed children, have made barren fair fields out of have fired the mercfu banner of the Red Cross have sunk hospital ships have bombed unfortifed cities have cut the hroats of prisoners have captives into slaves and worked them until they tubercu towards and the wretches that they with every and nhuman method that the Beelzebubs that are over them have been able to devise
 Why should hate and despse an enemy so treacherous, with whom honor by-word and fair. play forgotten practice?
 The loss Of brave on the Tuscania makes our blood boil It engenders irmer resolve to put down this corruption the morality of the world to clean out the whole vile system and meeting brutal force with righteous force, make honor and chvary triumphant
 May the Huns be handled they deserve, roughly and heartlessly; but may soldiers in the fight and their Allies never red in the conflict that they forget that they are who have ideals to uphold.
 Right will win in this war and every American life fouy taken will give strength to energetic determination that Hunnish blot civilization must be eradicated forever.-Tacoma News.

CHASING RUMORS.

Every day, or nearly every day, some one comes to tell us what so and so told about a pre- sumabv pro-German, and consequently an en- eny These reports have been brought in pretty regularly for the last year more, but more per sistentlv since the council of defense was ap- pointed some two or three months ago. All kinds of stories have been reported which have Ieen followed to nearly but never quite to their sources, because their sources are so elus- i've. With the exception of two or three instan- ces, the answres to the queries were invariably that of T heard" which is too indefinite for any practical use.
 According to our laws, it is easy to convict man for seditious utterances or pro-Gernan ac- tivity. but the authorities must have facts and not merely suppositions. If one hears seditious language or sees any one acting contrary to the laws of our country, one should never fail to report to the proper authorities and be ready to substantiate the charges. Moreover, under the present crisis true American does not hesitate and much less fear to report an enemy of the country. The placing under guard of an enemy is equalled to the saving of American lives. Let every American be on the alert and help attend to our countrys enemies at home first. But above all, report facts and not merely supposi- tions.

NO SENSE IN THAT.

There is no use to attempt to deny that there are casualties among our boys at the front nearly every day now but the names of the victims and the organizations to which they belong are not being cabled as promptly as they should be. As a matter of record, the organizations are not mentioned at all. We may be dense, but we can not see where such censorship does any good There are millions of peoples in the United States who have will have relatives and friends on the firing lines in France, and it is not believed they will submit very long to such fool censor ship. By all means, let the boys who fall on the battlefield be given all the glory that is their just due. Let the parents and friends know when and how they fell. This is lrt Q make believe war. Let us face it's grim realities There is no sense in making this war too mechan- ical

The Americans assaulted several times,
