COnpiegne

Situated on the southeast bank of the River Disc, just mile below its confluence with the Aisne, the city of Compiegne, with a population of I7,000 at the outbreak of the war, is fifty-two miles by rail northeast of Paris on the Paris-St. Quentin railway, forty-five miles southeast of Amiens, and twenty-five miles west of Soissons.
 The National Geographical Bulletin has compiled some interesting facts about this famous place
 It Is one of the most interesting cities Tn this part of France, having been known as Compendium in the days of Clovis. Its beautiful location, on the northwestern fringe of the superb forest of Compiegne, made 1t a favorite country residence ot many French monarchs. The forest, which contains more than 5, ,000 acres and is if ty-eight miles in circumference, was tor centuries a great royal hunting preserve.
 It was Louis XV who commissioned Gabriel to build the magnificent palace, which IS still well preserved, and it was that monarch who here welcomed Marie An toinette, the ill-fated daughter of Marie Theresa, to France, when at , she became the bride of the dauphin, the future Louis XVI. It was here also that that other Aus trian princess, Marie Louise, spent her brief but happy honeymoon with Napoleon l. As an evidence of the emperor infatuation for his bride (an infatuation which caused Metternich to write that he Is so evidently in love with her that he cannot conceal his feelings, and all his customary ways of life are subordinate to her wishes) there Is still to be seen in the park surrounding the pal ace an iron trellis which he ordered built to remind the l9-year-old empress of her favorite trellis at Schronbrunn This incl dent is reminiscent of the devotion dis played by the Babylonian king who built one of the seven wonders of the world-the hanging gardens-in order that his bride might not be without her native mountain scenery even on the plains of the EuPhrates.
 It was at Compiegne that one of the sad dest episodes in French history occurred the capture of Joan of Arc by the Burgun- dians in l43O, followed by her martyrdom at the stake just twelve months later in Rouen.
 Before the war Compiegne was an indus trial town of considerable importance, its ChIeT aCtlVlCleS being boat DuAO1nS, IOpC making distiIling and the manufacture of chocolate, machinery, sacks, chemicals and hats. It also carried on thriving river. borne traffic in timber and coal, and its asparagus farms were famous.
 In 1914 Compiegne offered stern re sistance to the Prussians; in the Franco Prussian conflict of I870-l87l it was one of the headquarters of the German army Now it is in the line of the Germans at tempted advance on the Noyon-Montdidiei front
 Now and for all time to come Compiegn' will be dear to the hearts of the French people not because 1t was once favoritc residence of Louis XV, Louis XVI, Ma poleon l, Louis Philippe, and Napoleon Ill but because Christmas eve, 1894, there wa born Georges Guynemer, Ace of Aces, the foremost airman of France, who, befor his tragic death at g years old, had woI every honor that his grateful country coul' bestow upon the matchless defender.

Naco road from the depot to Slag Dump hill has been torn up now for about month, half paved and half not It Is the main traveled street of the district and 1t is a shame that it should be left in this cOndi- ton so long. The paving company in charge of this work very promptly tore up the street and turned their men loose upon 1t with plough and shovel and scraper. Some paving was put down and then the work stopped, presumably because of failure of material to arrive But why tear up a street until the material Is on the ground? lt IS a strange way for a big company to do business. Two months spent upon little job of paving few hundred feet of street

and the job not half done yet. Waiting for material is the oldest song ever sung by mortal men engaged upon public work, and the public must listen to this song with all its discords and discomforts and wait and wonder and pay.

Red Cross Notes

There seems to be some mistake in
the mind Of the surgical dressings
workers as to the need of their SER
vices on Monday and Friday after
moons at the Parish house to work on
hospital garments. The Red Cross
Chapter urges them one and all to
be present and show their patriotism
by taking part in the making Of these
garments. The more spectacular work
Of the surgical dressings is over, but
the extremely important and neces-
sary work Of garment making for
the hospitals and for the refugees is
left for these faithful surgical dress
ings workers to accomplish. Let their
slogan be carry on" in response to
the appeal from Red Cross headquar-
tiers.
Friday afternoons have been sub
stitutcd for Thursday afternoons for
sewing and the distribution Of yarn
The Red Cross Chapter is very
much in need of another sewing ma
chine for the work room at the Par
ish house. Is there not some one who
win volunteer the use Of one for q
few months?

FAVOR GROUP HOUSES
AS SOLUTION OF THE
HOUSING PROBLEM

Boston. Nov. a1.--Group houses
Which ic described as several fam
lilies living side by, side with party
walls between but all under one roof"
were urged by Richard Henry Da no,
Cr, q New York architect, today, as
an important step in solving housing
problems. He was one, of the speak
crs of the closing day of the ration
al housing conference which opened
here Monday. Mr.. Dana denounced
what he termed the American mania
for single houses AK
After more than 13 years Of SYM
pathetic study of the matter" he
said, Il feel more convinced than ever
that the single house is not the best
type for the small wage Garner" Mr..
Dana then went on 10 discuss the size
Of the group house and their lots. the
lallacy 5f the side yard the objections
to the group house and their adyant-
ages and the grouping of houses. In
answer 10 the objections usually made
to such groups, Mr.. Dana insisted that
II properly made such groups We're
not noisy because of the bric;. par
tition wall; were not -stuffy because of
the rangement OF the windows, and
reed not be built in monotonous
line but might show as much variety
rs row of single houses. AS aGvan-
tagcs he cited in fact that such
houses are cheaper to build and
maintain. producing lower rents. talk
ing less coal to heat, giving more pri-
vacy and claimed that they present a
much better exterior appearance than
single houses.

ment of critics of his PLANS for attend
ing the peace conference that upon
crossing the sea he loses the right TO
perform executive duties and must al
low them to deyolve upon the Vice
President
1t was said officially today that tho
President would administer the duties
of his Office as completely aboard ship
and from Paris as though he were IN
the United States. He holds that there
are no constitutional difficulties and
wireless and cable communica tioa
solves the physical problem.
Secretary Tumulty. instead of being a
member of the peace party. will remain
in Washington throughout the Presi-
dents absence and conduct the affairs
of the White House as usual. He will
DE in constant touch with the President
and expects TO submit by cable or wire
less matters to be acted upon just rs
he now submits them personally or by
messenger.
There still WAS no anrounc ement to-
day OF the Presidents plans nor of the
personnel of the peace delegation. The
understanding is that at leact one place
on the delegation remains to be filled.
but that the President expects to be
able to make, the names public before
