With the American Expeditionary

doesn't know about washing clothes

war lasts many months longer,
Not that the doughboys are taught
laundering, or have to wash their
Globes, either. Thereby hangs a tale
The villages of Northern France,
where many Americans are serving,
do not have all the new-fangled mod
ern improvements, such as laundries
and washing machines, so common in
America. If they did have them, the
new-fangled things probably would
not be used, because their operation
would require more new-fangled
ideas. W
In northern France when wash
day rolls around, usually any day of
the week, rather than just Monday,
the family washing is taken to the
village mudpuddle or to the village

Paris, BY delayed Cable), June 20
In the last terrific drive when the
Huns made their most frantic effort
to break through along Aisne, the
Y. NJ. C. A. secretaries distinguished
themselves by their fearless cooper
alton with the French troops with
which they were stationed. Thirty
of the secretaries remained at their
posts under heavy shell fire, retiring
only when the troops retired, and
acting as runners in the greatest
danger, carrying food and supplies
to the poilus after their own supplies
had failed to reach them. The Amer
leans made their way back and forth
across fields swept by shrapnel, high
explosives and machine gun fire car
rying equipment and supplies, re-
treating and taking up new positions
with the French troops.
Ninety-three Y. M. c. A. stations
have been destroyed or captured in
The drive. Whenever possible the
Americans in charge carried with
them as much of the supplies and
equipment as possible. leaving little

NJ. C. A. warehouses were burned by
y. NJ. G, A. officials to prevent the
stores in them falling in the hands
Of the Germans.
Among the Americans who render

men. Miss Marie G. Heron, sister
