Everywhere in France"

A transport arrives at a port in
France. Down the gangway, in a
long line, file the fighting men from
America. It's a strange feeling this,
landing in a foreign land. But the
first sight that meets their eyes is
a Red Cross canteen. American wo-
men are here to welcome them, to
make them "feelsat home" and eager
for the adventures that await them
on the field of honor.
Through the shell torn streets of a
recaptured French village pass the
American soldiers on their way to
the front. II lis a long march and a
hard one. But there is cheer on the
way, for the American Red Cross
canteen has found a home among
the ruins, and that home is for the
soldiers. too. Come in and rest"
the canteen girl says, We've moth
ing to sell. What we have is yours,
but you can't buy it,"
The Yanks have reached the firing
line. So have the rolling canteens
with the Red Cross men in charge.
Here, after long, weary hours in the
muddy trenches. each man is given
steaming chocolate and thick sand
wich. This may not seem much, but
to a hiking soldier it means diff
ferent outlook on life. And when the
troops go "over the top" each one
knows that the American Red Cross
is backing him up, no matter what
happens.
The Red Cross to Begin the coIIec-
ton Of Tin and Platinum
The war industries board requests
that the Red Cross collect platinum
and tin for in both of these materials
which are essential to the industries
of the country. there is a shortage.
In general terms it may be fairly
stated that tin is one of the most es-
sential metals at the present time.
Not only would it be impossible to
operate a steamer on the ocean or to
build a railroad car if we did not
have tin. but it may be said that the
entire industries of the United States
are dependent upon tin in somesforIn
or other.
The war industries board has made
a careful estimate of the require
ments for tin in the immediate future
After allowing for the development of
new sources of supplies and for eff
fecting all sorts of economies in the
use of the metal, and with without
allowing for anything which may cut
down the worlds available supply,
the war industries board finds de-
ficit OF some five thousand tons in
the amount required to meet our
needs.
Tin, of course, is found in innu
merable forms, but for the purpose
of the Red Cross the forms in which
tin worth collecting may be found
are limited to three.
First. foil of every kind.
Second. collapsible tubes.
Third. pewter articles of every
kind.
Mrs. NJ. Z. Newbern will have
charge of the collection of tin and
platinum. and will place Red Cross

ROYAL LINE SOMEWHAT MIXED
Ruling House of Roumania Has Made
Many Alliances With Women
Not of Blue Blood.

Prince Carol of Roumania, who is
reputed to have married beneath
him." is only carrying out the family
tradition by making a mesalliance.
The princely and elder branch of the
Hohenzollerns, to which he belongs,
has a very linked" pedigree, from
the point of view of a court genealo-
gist, in spite of the fact that in the
male line they rank as one of the old
est families in Europe, the origin OF
which is lost in the mists of ages. To
begin with, King Ferdinand's mother,
q Portuguese princess of the house Of
Coburg, was the granddaughter of the
Countess Antonio of Kohary, a Hun
garian lady Of great wealth, who was
raised to the rank of princess by the
emperor of Austria to marry on equal
terms Prince Ferdinand of COburg.
Queen Victoria's uncle. One of the
king of Roumania's great-grandmoth-
ers was a Murat, a relation Of Napol-
con Is general, and another Stephanie
Beauharnai's, a niece of the Empress
J~osephine's first husband, whom Ma
poleon adopted into the imperial fam
lily. Farther back still in the first half
of the eighteenth century, there is i'm

an, a mere Miss Maria Bruce, a con-
nection of the then Earl Of AilOsbury.

CHEERS RING OUT
AS FIGHTING ENDS
ON LAST DAY OF WAR AMERICANS
HURLED THEMSELVES AGAINST
THE ENEMY.
GUNS ON BOTH SIDES STOP
At Exactly One Minute Of Eleven All
Firing Ceased, Followed BY Ripping
Cheers From the Trenches On Both
Sides Of the Line.

Paris.-When dawn came Nov. II
there vas no hint OF the cessation OF
hostilities. East of the Meuse. regard
less OF the situation, the American Sec
ond army attacked in force at 8 o'clock.
The onslaught was preceded by a tre-
mendous barrage, which was returned
In kind by the enemy. For three hours
the Americans swept forward, hurting
themselves against the wire ~entangle-
ments.
The German gunfire was devastating.
Then, at exactly n minute OF II, like
a final thunder crash at the clearing
OF q storm, the guns on both sides abb
rrptly ceased. The silence was more
startling than the deafening roar of the
barrage. For a brief minute intermit-
tent rifle fire followed, then came a
pause, punctuated by ripping cheers
from the trenches on both sides Of the
line.
What followed on one sector was
one OF the most singular events
OF the war. Against the skyline fig
ures were suddenly s~illihoutted. They
appeared cautiously at first, but soon,
growing holder all along the line, they
stood upright. These were Germans.
The Americans we're not so cautious,
AS the barrage died, ending in a final
husky rumble in the distance from the
big guns, runners went springing along
the firing line. Instantly comprehend
irg, the whole line Of doughboys leaped
from trenches, fox holes and shell era
teTs, splitting the unaccustomed silence
with a shrill piercing yell.
Strange to relate the defeated enemy
joined vociferously in the cheering.
The world war was finished.
At n minute before II it would
have meant death to show ones self
above shelter. Not more than a minute
after the hour the rolling plains was
alive with cheering, shouting men,
friend and enemy alike. Not many
minutes later Germans and Americans
were coming along the narrow stretch
Of ground, Sc f~iercely fought over, some
shyly and awkwardly, like en'barFass Y
school boys.
First advances were followed by Of
fers from Americans Of cigarettes,
chocolate and chewing gum. The Ger.
mans in some places ~reciprocated with
offers of hot coffee, bread and sausage.
The order forbidding fr~aternizing
was strict, but the novelty of the situa-
ton at times overcome prudence and
d%oughboys surerptitiously visited near
ty enemy dugouts. Along the barbed
wire at a road crossing, some dough-
Toys and the Germans began a brisk
barter for souvenirs. The Germans
were bewildered by the number Of
