One girl in uniform standing at the
four corners directed columns Of guns.

thus preventing traffic jam.
These women were the last to leave
several towns before the Germans en-
tered. They aided hundreds of refu-
gees and established temporary kitch-
ems, where, among others, $50 British
soldiers who had not eaten for many
hours were fed.
The girls also established an infor.
nation bureau Mt Montdidier until this
town was captured by the Germans.
They picked up wounded when they
were unable to make their way to
dressing stations, and brought food to
canteens and Kitchens to keep them
going.
At times the girls were only one day
ahead Of the advancing Germans and
once crossed bridge only few mo-
ments before twas blown up. For
eight days they worked without remov.
ing their clothes, sleeping on straw in
barns when they could sleep, and eat
ing irregularly.
All in all, the conduct of American
girls and women back of the lines is
calculated to inspire our soldiers to the
highest courage and exertions.

Coffee and sIeeple..ne.e.

That coffee drunk in the evening
tends to cause sleeplessness is we'll
known. Doctor Sajous analyses the
many effects of caffeine on the nervous
and circulatory systems and shows
that its sleep.preventing effect is due
to dilation Of the blood vessels Of the
brain, stimulation of the heart action,
increased blood pressure and a prob
able tendency directly to impede the
flow Of blood from the brain to the
skin and other peripheral structures,
which seems to. play an important role
in inducing SLEEP. And the brain tends
to remain overcharged with blood even
after the effect CT the coffee on the
blood pressure has subsided.

Mangin. the Germans have undertaken
the destruction Of the architectural
masterpieces Of Scissors with the same
methods as they have previously em-
ployed in burning or blowing up every
structure in the regions out Of which
they have been driven. they are pro-

specimens Of the best work Of the archi-
tects Of the thirteenth century.
The cathedral Of st. Gorvais Is now
the principal target. Enormous breaches
have been made In the splendid facade
the upper gallery is three-quarters de-
stroyed while the lower gallery has been
wrecked. The statues fall one by one
from the tower.
The ancient abbey of st. Jean-des-
Vignes. in which Thomas Beckett spent
several years, Is also gradually crum-
bling. Both towers have been decapi-
tated. while the facade has been pierced
in many places: the vault of the facade
has fallen in, and the rich ornamental
ton Of the left tower his disappeared.

saints that remain facing the enemy.
