WAKING UP TO US.

A complete revulsion Of feeling
with regard 10 America can now
be noticed in the German press.
After pouring scorn and contempt
upon America and her Army, the
German papers are now for the
first time indicating the magni-
tude Of American war-prepara-
tions. For example. Karl Rosner,
the correspondent of the Berlin
Lokal Anzeiger on the Western
front, admit that we are "mak-
ing preparations on an extraordi
nary scale, and the good man tries
hard to minimize their Importance.
He writes:
1.-THE coming Of American for
the spring campaign brings i'm
portant and timely aid to our en-
emies just when the liberation Of
our fresh German forces from the
East gives unrestrained freedom
Of movement to our whole mill
tary organization. Henceforth
American help must be looked
upon as Of first-rate Importance III

ing. It is Of course of more vital
interest to the Entente than to US.
as the Entente expects America to
make up for the loss Of Russia and
Ronmania. The German Higa
Command has pretty good idea
both of the number and Of the eff
fectiveness of all the American
troops now on the Continent ready
for fighting or in training. Our
High Command has completed all
its arrangements. 1t does not
fear any upsetting Of the situa-
ton even from the entry of this
latest enemy, nor does it coz
template any material interference

CAUSES
MURDER
Especial to The Times.)

VISALIA, Cal, March IL
Gossip, the bag of clacking
tongues, is today named access
sorry before the fact in the trial
here Of California's most beauti-
full murder defendant.
Under her black shadow sit
Mrs. Orlean Howe and the widow
OF William Herbert Brooks,
wealthy rancher, whom Mrs.
Howe is charged with shooting.
The tragedy had it's roots in
social ostracism, the sin unpar-
donable against a beautiful
woman.
Mrs. Howe accused Brooks with
sullying her fair name because
she had rebuffed his advances.
Gossip was his weapon,
pistol her's-the,Fb black and
red threads running thru
the sinister pattern cOmplet-
ed by the murder.
Guilty admiration had turned
to the fury of the scorned, says
Mrs. Howe of the man she doesn't
deny shooting, and his pique ex-
pressed itself in calumny.
Snubs Ate Into Life.
Brooks had been former
business associate of her husband.
He had enjoyed the hospitality
of her home during adversely.
Then, deliberately, she says, he
set about alternating her friends,
making her name a byword. One
after another they turned against
her, she said I'm an hysterical
statement following the shooting.
Her life had become that of an
outcast.
Snubs and rebuffs ate like
acid into the soul of the beauti-
full, spirited and talented woman
whose life had found wide ex-
preston in social activities.
Friendships dwindled until hard
ly one was left. Formerly hos

her.
All this Mrs. Howe ascribes to
Brooks, assigning as motive her

WITH THE AMERICAN ARMY
IN FRANCE, March 11.-Girls Of
Tacoma, I've sad news for you.
Your French sisters are taking
your soldier beaus away from
you.
Don't be too sure that that sol
der lover of yours, after the war
is going TO rush home by the first
boat, jump into civilian attire and
beat it for the little church
around the corner with you.
A whole lot Of our boys"

sion" of France.
rs the chance of a lifetime for
the French girls. Most of the
young Frenchmen of manageable
age we're killed off in the early
days of the war.
Sing L. s. Praises.
1t follows naturally then that
the girls in the war zone should
take to the fine, clean, upstand-
ing American boys who came
across the ocean to help drive the
Huns from their beloved France.
The further fact that every
American is looked upon as a mil
lionaire has helped along the wal
romances.
The poor French soldier draws
only cents a day pay, so what
chance has he against compete
tor, who has pockets full of coin
on paydays-for candy and brace
let's and wrist watches and pretty
laces?
Then again, the American sol
der hasn't been any too modest
in describing the wonders OF
America to the little French girl
he is counting:
Some Picture, Eth?
"Why, in America, everybody
has his own automobile, almost
everybody lives in a separate
house that sets in a big lot with
trees and flowers; in many of the
states the women vote and hold
office; every woman has a new
wardrobe every season; the men
earn the living; the skyscrapers
grow to be so stories high in the
big cities; every home has a bath
tub In it; about the only things
girls eat in America are bon bons
and ice cream, etc, etc."
That's the line of dope "our
boys" hand out over here, and,
naturally, the girls fall for It.
OF course, there's the difference
in language, but that has been
more of an advantage than a han
cap in soldier love making.
First in 10 Days.
About the first thing the Amer
lean boy learned to say in French
was "Je vous aime." CT love
your, and 1t sounded SO "cute"
coming from handsome boy who
couldn't even say Good morning
that the girl, instead of taking Of
tense, generally invited him to
some around that evening to meet
her mother.
Then followed countless even
ings, in the little French parlor,
with mother in one corner darning
socks, and Antoinette and Billy
near the reading table teaching
each other their respective lam
guages.
The first marriage between an
American soldier and q French
girl took place within 10 days
after our troops landed in the war
zone.
