London, Feb. 23.-The Turkish
army in the Caucasus has begun an

 Every Town Has One.
 I am divulging no Outstanding physical characteristics which might betray locality" when I mention the Grand Hotel du France. They are as common as Maxim's restaurants in the United States. Every town has one, and they generally are august, aged hostelries, living, like the Missis- sippi river steamboats, on their reputa- tion. This one is a comparative juve nile. It is only one hundred and one years old, according to a corner stone we discovered the other day. But at that 1t hasn't got electric wiring and plumbing and q furnace in the base- ment, and if we only had just the rat tie on the end of that snakes tail hanging on cord in room No. 12 there would be four jubilant soldiers in that petit chambre."
 When the United States took over the Grand Hotel du France 1t got 1t unfurnished, of course. It immediately refurnished 1t with two double-decker hunks of the latest type-nothing more. We sleep two in corner, and l have one of the lowers. We have discovered, by the way, a virtue in this arrange ment. The beds are sturdy, but can be jared by jiggling of the body, and in the event that your bedmate, above or below. is addicted to snoring (and you would be surprised how many soldiers are) you can always stop him by rocking the cradle" until he turns over. This Is very handy. It saves looking all over the room for shoe when you get up in the morning.
 There are four of us in this room. The most optimistic of the succeeding landlords of this hostelry must have
