By HOPE BUTLER.
PARIS, Oct, l


FOUR girls and man have been on an
Il expedition to the front for the Y.
N. c. A. Besides us there were three me-
ehanics and publicity man in the party.
We five were in Ford touring car
loaded to the gunwales with knapsaeks,
gas masks, helmets, supplies of canned
food and biscuits. The mechanics were in
charge Of huge Y truck filled to capacity
with crates and cases of biscuits, matches,
cigarettes, chocolate, condensed milk and
fruit juice. And behind the truck came
the raison d'etre for the party, a new
rolling kitchen, portable canteen, soup
htchen-what you will; to the boys it
meant "Y."
The trailer was a novelty to us as well
rs to the gaping, admiring, wondering
public it encountered en- route. Almost as
large as the truck, it was painted khaki
color with large triangle on one side
and balancing on two wheels. A large
window on each side with a counter per-
mits of rapid trade. The men outside
pass in line by the window, while the man
inside-or the girl-passes out the cigar
cites, &c. Another point Of the eanteen is
the huge boiler set on its own stove in one
corner near the back door. 1t holds
twenty-five gallons and can serve either
hot or cold drinks.
We left Paris in the early afternoon.
The countryside was lovely, the harvest at
its best and in the fields old people and
children and women were gathering it.
They were cleaning in one large field we
passed Just as in Biblical times, the chill
dren especially coming along behind the
cart picking up the stray fallen whisps of
wheat.
Sign Posts Seen rs Good omens.
The signs posts were omens Of good, for
they were marked from the very gates Of
Paris onward: "Meaux, twenty-five kilo-
meters" "Metz, 252 kilometers." So "On
to Metz" was our thought and from the
marks We began to see Of the great drive
backward of the Germans, "On to Metz"
does not seem such a dream as it would
have been so short time ago.
Travelling thus we passed through war
SCARED towns and villages from which the
Germans had lately been driven out.
About ten miles north of city where the
marines of the Division had fought
and died in one great epoch making mo-
ment of history we came upon our trail
ing kitchen just at a crossroads. We
camped out for lunch in an apple orchard
after starting the trailer off once more on
its numbering march and were disturbed
by the sound of tramping feet.
We ran to the side of the road and felt
for the first time the great thrill of the
army-three entire regiments went by, all
tried troops who had been in the trenches
and were now on their way to Paris;
they hoped for at least ten day rest.
We stood by the roadside and called out
to them.
The first regiment was from Alabama,
and when they asked US "Where are you
FRONT" We all called back, "Alsbamsp to

lives" To the passing dusty convoy driv-
ers this unexpected drink seemed almost
nbelievable-some Of them came so dusty
that hair, lips, face and eyes were the
same color, just gray all over.
In the afternoon we moved nearer the
front. We started on the road they showed
US through a demolished village on over
a barren hill. Here we met motorcyclist
who yelled, "You better not 60 down that
road! There's gas attack on" And as
we waited on the hill an officer came to us
and said, "This is the highest ground be-
tween here and the German lines; three
men were killed here just yesterday, as
they occasionally shellsweep it; you had
better get down into the valley" And on
the way down the hill, over a road all holes
and craters from the sheilfre, we passed
che three new made graves Of yesterday
and a calm company of engineers mend
ing the road, who grinned and waved with
delight on seeing American girls.
We went through more demolished
towns, past more German signs, more torn
roads and passed Y. NJ. c. A. station
in ceilingless, wall-less house, and smelt
gentle priekle in the air, the remains Of
the gas attack. We finally found our
commanding officer-reached the village
in which he was billeted three minutes
after shell fell in it. We were a surprise
to the men here, but decided we weren't
either brave or unusual when we saw an
old peasant of about 80 come hob
bling out of her house with snowy cap
on her head and cat following her.
The next morning after sleeping that
night inside our ambling caravan, as it
looked like rain, our fame had spread to
surrounding camps and hospitals and we
had a stream of cas,lals who had heard a
"Y' canteen had suddenly sprung, mush-
roomwise, in the midst of a field with
three whole American girls, too.
Graves Within Sound of Battle.
The ambulances began coming in last
evening from the front, and to-day at 2
P. NJ. they held the funerals of those who
had died during the night The cemetery
is near the crossroads; the land slopes off
in broad and beautiful plain below, and
behind are the chateau and the forest. 1t
is now within sound Of the guns, and
passing camions prove that the battle is
still near.
l went over and stood with the group
of boys around the empty pit, dug wide
enough for ten bodies to be laid side by
side, and about four feet deep. 1 saw
them measuring the back of the chaplain
to get the necessary width for a mans
shoulders and to multiply that by ten, and
as there are so many graves to be dug
four feet is all the depth there is time for.
The ambulance came slowly up the hill
and stopped when it got opposite the
graveyard. Four stretchers were carried
out, on each a still figure sewed in a
blanket. The stretcher bearers lowered
these carefully into the pit, taking the
name and number Of each body. The am
bulance made two more trips, and when
the pit was filled with ten figures. lying
still and quiet, the chaplain stepped for

ward and read the comforting Episcopal
service.
The chaplain made a short address, and
what he said meant cheer and comfort to
the watching boys, who knew their time
might be next. "Tbese men fought gal
lantly and died bravely. They did their
part in the fight for freedom. They have
I%thing to regret. May their families find
comfort in the fact that they have not
died in vainp
Then they filled in the graves, and we
all walked back silently to our camp
across the road. And four of the boys
came up to us and said: "Say, haven't

the road until some one saw me and
called out: care you a ghosiT I an
wered: "No, an American girl" to which
there was a shout, and could hear them
telling the men ahead that there was a
real American girl there in the darkness.
Then came the word to halt and they
flung themselves down in the ditch by the
roadside and even in the dusty road, until
their sergeants had almost to kick them
out Of the way of traffic passing in the
opposite direction. l sat down with them
and we talked, and they told me what they
had been through and I told them they
were near their camp and were to 60 on
leave, believed.
After the word came to march and
they had gone on, little Lieutenant came
up to me and said, as it true you are an
American girlY" and when assured him
l was he said, II told my Major the next
American girl l saw was going to hug"
He waited a minute and then I said,
"Well, tell your Major that you gave her
a good squeeze, anyway" And as he
Rugged me he probably thought of some
nice girl at home. He left and little later
the Major came up. We did not refer to
inc Squeeze, UuI we Hdu d pledSdnL cndL
and assured him the Y. NJ. C. A. would
be there next day if his men could get up
from camp.
I can't begin to remember oil the incl
dents of those eventful days, the thou
sands of men who marched by or the hun
dreds of trucks or the dozens of cars and
motorcycles. Our arms grew stiff waving
to passing boys and our faces ached with
smiling, and yet it was all so worth it.
Packing up to leave was the hardest
part, for we ran out of supplies before
we got off and long before our reputation
had finished spreading far and wide Some
boys arrived at the wagon hot and dusty
and tired, having walked sometimes four
or five miles, and all we could say, was,
ave have nothing at all, no cigarettes,
biscuits or chocolates or anything" One
boy said, "Well, 1 walked four miles to
get here and all got was four envelopes,
but it was worth it to see you girls"

English girl of our party, called out, "Pm
from Iowa, too" when the next lot, Of
Iowan boys, went by. They were hot and
tired and dusty and had been through
their baptism of fire and had left many
of their friends behind, but they were glad
to see US and full of hope of getting their
rest and perhaps leave.
We were now with the army and of the
army and traffic changed its aspect and
grew congested and long convoy trains
made passing a perilous and almost i'm
possible proceeding and staff cars doomed
up suddenly before one in the clouds of
dust just as you dived out from behind
a truck trying to get ahead. Also the
sporty old army mules amused me lot
they had come so far and were so placidly
throwing in their lot on the battlefelds of
France along with the boys.
Installed Despite the Darkness.
After some scouting around the country
We located the strategical point the COM
manding officer had ordered US to take,
and got ourselves and our trailer safely
installed, all in the growing darkness. We
are at a crossroads, rolling fields on all
sides, famous forest behind US, and in
front the battle line lit up at night by the
departs" the star shell signals, and the
red glow that meant our boys were to go
over the top. Where we were we caught
both the troops going up into the lines
TO some it was new, to others already an
old experience also the returning
troops, those just relieved and due for
few days rest, and such a tired, dusty,
dirty, gallant crowd!
We rolled ourselves in our blankets and
oilcloth bags; personally I didn't take off
even my necktie, for though hot in daytime
it was chilly and damp with dew at night.
The thrill at first was too great to sleep.
The battlefield on which we lay had been
the scene of one Of the biggest battles
and some of the fiercest fighting since the
war began, and every inch was hallowed
by some deed of heroism by poilu or
Tommy or Yank.
1t was o'clock the next morning when
the first passing troops saw the Y sign
and forced us to open shop. They came
over from the road to where we were still
sleeping and asked for cigarettes. They
were much surprised when we unrolled
ourselves, but very much pleased to find
the eternal feminine even on battlefield.
From then on our trade went briskly;
men on passing convoy trains stole two
minutes to jump down and run over to
our improvised counter made of the back
board of the truck balanced on two piles
of boxes of biscuits, with a poncho
overhead to make little shade.
As the day grew hotter and dustier, we
got out the boiler from the trailer, and
after several hours it came back on the
water truck, which makes five trips day
to the only imprisoned wells, three miles
away, in the region. We mixed up fruit
juice drink and called it Y. NJ. C. A.
and the boys formed up in
long lines and passed by the boiler with
their cups, and had the "drink Of their
