An American lying wounded in a
wheat field was somewhat taken aback

approach, Of German officer. He
was magnificent with medals and he
wore a monocle.
Every once in a while his impress

of the head and the suspicion of a
squirm-just as if someone were tick

Someone was, for, looking beyond,
the wounded American saw great,

along, showing every tooth in his

American women have done over here

will hear, then, about the women who
are cooking and baking for the Amer
lean boys with their helmets and gas
masks on the shelf, next the baking

casual heroines who see nothing re-
markable in making hot chocolate in
shacks where the rain and the snow
come In ON them through fresh shell
holes In the roof.
One Of the women people will hear
about will be Mrs. Clara Simmons.
She is as close to the, front line
here as any woman Is permitted to
go. For many days, during the active
lighting just over the hill from her.
she was the only woman in the entire
area. That didn't bother her at all.
The boys wanted hot chocolate, and
she could make it. So there you are.
And theirs she was.
She is little bit of America, Of

down IN the middle of the fighting
zone. She looks more like home to
the boys than anything in the world,
except letter. She has no pic
turesque ideas about carrying culture
and uplift to the soldiers. She's
there 10 work for them.
She works with huge mixing bowl
full of pulverized chocolate. and seven
or eight open cans of condensed milk
on the table. On the rickety stove
where the old fireplace used to be, a
great kettle of hot water is simmer
ing. She stirs and pours, and pours
and stirs, till the air of the little
shack is ms fragrant as that of n
candy store Mt home.
A convoy of camions rumbles past
her door. They are almost Mt the end
of their journey. German territory
isn't half dozen kilometers away.

Even before the hot chocolate is

They come in tin hats with gas masks

she heard that Johnnie had the
measles.
That's the thing about Mrs. Sim
mons and such women. She brings
TO the boys a constant reminder OF
the women they have left behind, OF
their mothers and their sisters and
their wives. She talks in the most
casual American way about things
that are neither casual nor American.
After the last of her soldiers has
put on his tin hat and gone down
the hill into the valleys from which
they start for their outposts, she be-
gins talking very simply about her
work.
There is not mother or wife or
sister Of any one of these boys who

what privilege 1t Is TO talk to them.
and to see that they are well and
happy, and that their clothes are

most about their uncertainties. If

worrying about these boys how husky

During recent patriotic parade a

result. Unless the Inflammation can be re-

WILSON ASKS DIRECT
REPLY IN HIS NOTE

President Wilson's note to the Ger
man chancellor, which was transmit
ted 10 Berlin, October 8. 10 as follows
"Sir: l have the honor to acknowl-
edge, on behalf of the president, your
note of October o, inclosing the COM
municatlon from the German govern
ment to the president; and l am In
structed by the president to request
you to make the following communi-
cation to the imperial German chan
cellor:
Before making reply to the request
of the imperial German government
and In order that that reply shall be
candid and straightforward, as the
momentous interests involved require,
the president of the United States
deems It necessary to assure himself
of the exact meaning Of the note or
the imperial chancellor. Does the I'M
perlnl chancellor mean that the imper-
lal German government accepts the
terms laid down by the president In
his address to the congress of the
United States on the Sth of January
last, and in subsequent addresses and
that Its object In entering into discus
sions would be only to agree upon the
practical details of their applications
"The president feels bound to say
with regard to the suggestion of an
armistice that he would not feel at
liberty to propose cessation Of arms
to the governments with which the
government Of tho United States Is
associated against the central powers
so long as the armies of those powers
are upon their soil. The good faith Of
any discussion would manifestly de-
pend upon the consent Of the central
powers Immediately to withdraw their
forces everywhere from invaded terri
tory.
"The president also feels that he Is
justified In asking whether the i'm
perinl chancellor Is speaking merely
for the constituted authorities of the
empire who have so far conducted the
war. He deems the answer TO these
questions vital from every point OF
view"
