Church IN NO
MANSLAND

All over the war zone American
soldiers are seeking religious services,
often at the additional risk of their
lives. They assemble in places as un-
usual as were the meeting places of
the early Christians. No matter how
dangerous the position, the Americans
always welcome the Y. M. C. A. secre-
tary who risks his life to reach them
to hold Sunday services. A shell
crater in No Mans Land was the
strangest place in which a "Y" man
held services.

SEEK FOOD ECONOMY
IN FOOD EXHIBITS

How to teach the newer ways of
preparing foods without wasting food
through exhibits or even without ex-
hibits entirely is the problem the
Food Administration is asking to have
solved. The county fairs are now ar,
ranging their premium lists, and any
suggestions for teaching without the
use of exhibits viii be gladly received
now. In many of the counties, the
food demonstration is sold at auction
and the proceeds given to the Red
Cross. This serves a threefold pur,
pose: the food exhibited should ocn,
vince the people that the products are
desirable; the food is not wasted but is
used legitimately in feeding people; it
furnishes money for the Red Cross.

UNKNOWN STRANGER CAUSES
TROUBLE ON THE SEABOARD
TRAIN AT PLANT CITY

When Seaboard Air Line train mo
arrived here last night at III ociocf
things were not running smoothly al
usual. The baggagemaster was rla
ing in another part of the train' nav
ing reluctantly turned over his com
partment to a stranger who, from ap
rearances. was bent on staging some
thing of the old Jesse James order o.
enacting the exciting section OF tne
present day hold-up la movies. The
man brandished big ugly-lookine
revolver, and while baggagemasters
have such things handy it did moi
look comfortable to open an engage
ment with this particular individual
he did not look just right out OF the
eyes.
It was brought out that the man
boarded the train at Tampa, later en-.
tering the baggage car from the com
partment assigned to col0red passen
gers. A shot or two at random was
enough to convince the occupant Of
that compartment that it would be
useless to talk terms, and he cleared
out. AS the train drew into Plant
City the stranger is said to have fired
several shots at globe on street
which glowed with electric current.
When the train stopped the con-
ductor called to Night officer W. B
Dormany, explained the situation, and
expressed desire that the police get
him off the car. In fact progress on
the journey depended upon it. Po-
liceman Dormany looked him over
and decided that it would be wise to
call Marshal Hampton into the case.
Together the officers, after careful
maneuvering, got the advantage of
the man, and he was easily disarmed.
He had two revolvers. An officer from
another county who was on the train
furnished hand cuffs and the man was
carried to the city Jail to await in.
vestigation. He did not resist but
did not give his name, and no one
was found who knew him. One per.
son was found who said he believed
him to be man who caused some
trouble to officers at Lakeland some
time ago, but this was not definitely
established. There were no papers
on the man by which his identity
could be established.
This morning he seemed no better.
and his demeanor caused the impress
sion that he Is demented. He probably
will be turned over to the county all.

French Refugees Returning IL
To Abandoned Homes

They are coming back to ruins o

their homes, and their return is 3
pitiful spectacle.
Sometimes they find no home at all
Never do they find any furniture. OF.
ten they find no food. and then the
American Red Cross steps in and
helps them. The woman who can dig
out her stove from a heap Of dirt ano
plaster and patch it up again so thai
it will burn, counts herself inordinar-
lily lucky. One woman found remain

their weight in gold, and a feather
bed is priced above rubies. Five thou
sand five hundred blankets the Red
Cross shipped out to returning refu-
gees in single week.
The people in the Aisne will not
be able to spend the winter in their
own villages. The villages on the
banks of the little Marine are too ut
terly battered by shells to afford hu-
man habitations during the winter
weather. Now, while days are warm
and skies are blue, their owners can
find some tiny corner or other to live
in, but the rain and mud and chilly
damp Of French winter will drive
them, or If 1t does not paternal gov.
eminent will send them, back to their
temporary homes to wait for spring.
One purpose in sending them home
so quickly was to harvest the wheat
crops, but there was no food, so the
Red Cross established canteens in
many villages and served two meals
a day free to those too poor to pay
while others paid small sums. Forty
carloads of food were sent to the
Marine and the Aisne in single
month. A grocery store has been op-
ened in Chateau Thierry which al.
