Hello. Dan

Hello Dan:
oh. what daN, II You don't mind.
| l will tell YOU everything just as ii
Happened. l have never experienced
such day in all my life.
France is intoxicated with the wine
| Of victory | have never seen people
as gay as the French people are to-
| day. Everywhere you go the French
people will say. "One Nttle drink. If
you never drank before, one little
| drink today" Out of the wine eel
! lars come the Oldest and best of
wines. France = celebrating. Every
where you go YOU hear the clinking
of glasses, and the toast. ''Vive la
Amerique" and "Vive la France"
The streets are crowded TO the ut
most Parades OF all descriptions
can be seen. Children of all ages,
With pans. horns, or anything that
AN make a noice. are having a pa
rade The French sailors are having
4 parade. going down the main
street singing the French national
But the largest, best and most appre-
| ciated parade is several thousand

ceived l have never heard, nor ever
expect to hear again. The French

they passed.

houses covered with flags, (mostly
the Tri-color and the Stars ano
Stripes no vehicles are seen on the
main streets. 1t seems that every
body has taken d holiday Old men
and women come up to us and shake
our hands and thank America for
what it has done for them.
Guns from the forts, whistles from
the ships, do their best to make it a
holiday by making as much noise as
possible What a contrast it makes,
the Frenchman of yesterday and the
Frenchman of today. Yesterday they
were hopeful, and were praying for
the time that the world would be
free from autocracy, and the horrors
of this terrible war. Today they are
wild, Wild with joy! At last, with
tt1ts>a a I'D IS ltheir brothers, The Ameri-
cans, they have tasted the wine u1
victory.
Tonight flashlights from the ships
in the harbor fash the glad tidings
with their bright rays. Rockets spit
forth balls of red, green and yellow,
each spelling victory to the war
worn F'renchman. This day is para
mount. l am sure the French people
have never been in the same spirit
since the war was declared or for
many years before.
Today is the twelfth. The French
are still celebrating. The guns from
the forts and the whistles from the
SHIPS are making as much noise as
possible. We will start back to the
States very shortly, and we are going
to bring five hundred French soldi-
ers to New York with u.s. Isn't it a
grand and GLORIOUS feeling for ev-

Among the thick and many leaves
A little violet raised her head;
1 wish to catch but just a glance
OF the big, wide world" she said.
She cared not if she We're not seen,
She was modest, sweet and shy;
She sat there, quiet, unassuming.
Watching the passersby.
First passed a group of children.
Onward they went TO play;
They saw the modest little flow'r-
How pretty" she heard them say.
Then came an aged. grey-haired man.
His eyes on her he bent
How simple. sweet, alluring."
He said, as on he went.
A pauper passed the little how'r.
The poorly clad, and thin;
This type OF simple beauty
Appealed TO even him.
Then came the king, in glory.
+! Twas his coronation day;
The eager throngs pressed round him
To hear what he might say.
The king espied the violet,
And the thought passed thru his
mind
May l always. with my people,
Be as modest and as kind"
Rich and poor, old and young.
Admired this little flower.
But ever shrinking and demure,
She loved her leafy bower.
Praises had not turned her head.
Far from vanity was she.
Still retiring. unassuming,
And so she'll always be.

CLOTHING CAROUSE-AFTER WAR
Bright COlOrs for Men-YellOw and
Khaki Only Shades TabOOed.

by Reciprocal News Service.
LONDON. October 2S.-Americans
must be prepared for the gayest fash
ions in mems toggery after the war,
if Yanks are like the English in their
peace tastes. and brown or anything
slightly resembling khaki in color
will be taboo for years to come.
This information comes from famous
London tailoring establishments. They
say that discharged officers and men
are going in for gayest colorings in
attire, as a reaction from their years
of monotonous khaki.
The shops are showing shirts of
lady-like texture and prettiness for
men. Seeks come in gentle hues. A
window of suspenders is one of the
most brilliant sights on Picadilly. and
garters are shown with the dearest
all over them. AS for pajamas and
underwear, they make the women's
displays look dull and drab, and the
grimy heroes from the trenches of
Flanders study the gay silk array and
go in and buy their heads off.
I'VE are in for a clothing carouse."
said a Bond Street tailor Those mill
lions of men who have had to wear
nothing but standard one-color ap-
parel for more than four years, are
going to the other extreme when they
get the chance and dress themselves
like rainbows with the yellow left
out"

COLUMBIA POOR TO NEED HELP
Families Supported by Women Make
Unusual Demand This Winter.

There will be an unusual demand
for help among the Columbia poor
this winter. according to d. E. Major,
field agent of the Columbia Charity
Organization Society. In those fam
lilies supported by men there will be
few calls for help, since labor Is
plentiful and wages for men have
increased from 80 to 80 per cent. 1t
will be from widows, and families
supported by women that most OF
the calls will come Women's wag-
es in many occupations have not in
creased for three or four years, while
the cost of living has more than
doubled in that time, making 1t i'm
possible for a woman working eight
or nine hours a day to support chill
dren. There are many such families
in Columbia and the Charity Organi-
cation Society is preparing to aid
them through the winter.
There has been much distress
among the poor the last two weeks
on account of Spanish influenza, but
the disease is slackening now.
The society is amply supplied with
shoes for men and women, but there
is an urgent need for children's shoes.
underwear and clothing.

NEW P. 0. EXAMINATION
Too Few Took Previous Test
For Postmaster, 1t
Is Announced.

Another civil service examination
is to be held by the Government to
select a postmaster for Columbia. The
reason given by the Postoffice De-
partment is that too few took the ex-
animation at the last time. The no.
tice for the examination says:
The Civil Service Commission has
reannouncei an open competitive ex-
animation for postmaster of Column
bia. to fill the vacancy caused by the
resignation of James.H. Guitar, which
examination will be held November
10. c
ITO be eligible for this position an
applicant must be citizen OF the
United States, must actually reside
within the delivery of the office for
which the application is made, and
must have been such resident at the
time of the present vacancy, January
&c. 1918. the date on which Mr.. Gui-
tar resigned.
Applicants for postmaster of Co.
lumbia must be between 80 and 65
years of age. and must show that for
at least three years they have held
positions in which the
duties involved the manage
ment of business aairs and the direc-
ton and supervision of employees, in
such positions in the differ
ent branches of the postal service"
A similar examination for postmas-
ter of Columbia was held on Septem-
Der II, when r. H. Gray, T. W. Whit
tie of Columbia, and L. J. Hall, of
D. c., took the examina-
tons. 1t is presumed these same APP
plicants will again take the examina-
ton on November 10.
In announcing this new examina-
ton the Civil Service Commission
wrote the secretary as follows:
THE Commission has reannounced
the postmaster examination for Co
lumbia because of the fact that COM
petition in the previous examination
was apparently limited. and it is de-
sired to have a larger number of ap-
plications filed for the position"
R. Fl. Gray has been acting post
master since the resignation of Mr.
Guitar last January, and has an
nounced his intention of competing
Tor the appointment as postmaster.

The University girls have again

pital However. we have enough
equipment from the military hospit-
ais which have been dismantled.
ANY student who is to nurse at
Read Hall must be called for by me
or by Mrs. Guy l.. NOyes. Volunteers
may leave their names with Mrs.
Noyes but need not report until she
asks them to.
when patients are to be admitted
to the hospital they should bring
with them a toothbrush, comb, at
least one night gown, kimono and
bedroom slippers. This saves much
telephoning back for these things.
Girls reporting for nursing should
bring with them a wash dress which
can be left at the hospital to be
fumigated over night"
Violation of the rules laid down by
the s. G. A. for the protection of
the University women during this cpl
demic resulted in the quarantining of
one house.
The quarantine is defined as limit
ing the girls living in this house to
their premises for twenty-four hours,
beside the regular rules for quaran-
tined houses.
This action was sanctioned by Miss
Eva Johnston and Dean J. C. Jones.

UNIVERSITIES QUOTA Is $500
Faculty, Employees and Students to
BE Canyassed This Week

The quota for the University in the
United War Work campaign was set
at $4,000 at a meeting last night of the
committee which has been appointed
to solicit from the students, faculty
and employees of the University. The
quota was based on estimates of the
state committee, which has fixed $62,-
500 as the amount to be subscribed by
the schools of Missouri.
An attempt is to be made TO fill this
quota before the regular state cam
paign begins, November II. 1t has
been agreed that, in the local cam
paign lasting from that date until No
vember IS, the University will not be
canvassed. Therefore it is thought
advisable by the committee to COM
plete the University campaign before
the opening of the one in town.
Letters are to be mailed to all fac
ulty members and employees and it is
hoped that they will fill their quota
WITHOUT personal solicitation. 1t has
not Yet been decided how the cam
ried on.
An enlarged committee consisting
CT about fifty and including officers
of the S. A. T. c., representatives of
the women students and representa-
tives of the men students who are not
in the S. A. T. c., will be held in the
University auditorium at o'clock to-
morrow night. This meeting is for
the purpose of giving instruction and
information to those who are to help
conduct the campaign, and to make
more plans. President James NJ.
Wood, state chairman of the students
division Of the United War Work cam
paign. and Dean Walter Miller will
make talks.
In accordance with University reg
ulations, all those attending this COM
mittee meeting will be expected to
wear masks.

SWISS FRIENDLY TOWARD U. s
Newspaper Saps Nation Has EnnObled
War With New Ideal.


War With New Ideal.
By United Press.
WASHINGTON, Nov 5.-Friendly
sentiment toward America is shown
by many Swiss newspapers and writ
ers. An excellent example of this
sentiment is the following article by
Prof. W. E. Rappard. The article
appears in a Swiss paper just received
here.
Liberal Europe is at last breathing
again.
The recent military successes and
the moral comforts which they have
procured she owes in the first place
to the intervention of the Americans.
Had they given her only that much
they would have been her benefactOrs.
But there is more. In entering
this struggle without selfish ambi-
tions. to make the world safe for de-
mocracy and the future for liberty
they have ennobled the war.
America has not only, in the mo-
ment of the greatest perils, saved
liberal Europe from the aggression
of exterior Imperialism. She
will be ready again, at the hour
of final victory. to oppose her own
ideal of justice to the contagion of this
imperialism if it should spread in
ternally.
Switzerland is placed in the CEN
ter of Europe. Switzerland lives by
means of right and democratic lib
erty. In saving democracy in Eu-
rope. America assures therefore in a
two-fold sense the salvation of Switz-
erland. We know it and we shall not
forget it"
