COMMANDS OUR FLYERS

Brig. Gen. Benjamin d. Foulois,
head Of the aviation service for the
American expeditionary forces, has
been appointed commander of the air
service Of the First army.

Wright as his passenger in the first
army test flights.

necticut thirty-nine years ago. His
career has been spectacular and his
rise from the ranks meteoric. He
served as a private in the Porto Rico
campaign In 1898, in the Philippines
and on the Mexican border in 1916.
He graduated from the infantry
and cavalry school in 1905 and from
the army signal school in 1909. Foulois

es. Our satisfaction proved again that
the Joy Of finding is not always less
than the Joy of pursuit. The maid who
had been assigned to minister to our
comfort accepted her duty as trust.
She was unbelievably short and very
sturdy. Her broad face and the
strength Of her round, shapeless limbs
proclaimed the hardy bloom Of the
peasant. The physical, mental and
emotional unity which comes as the
heritage Of such unmixed rustic blood
Is In itself a prepossessing charm. Our
daughter Of Mother Earth was an
material as she was diminutive.
She might think Of thousand serv.
ices, her bare feet might start Of an
instant across the mats to respond to
any request, but never did She sur.
render one iota Of her instructive be-
lief that we, merely being men, were
only luxurious accessories for the
world to possess. She was so prim.
ordially feminine that she inspired q
terrifying thought Of the possibility Of
society being sometimes modelled after
the queendom Of the bees.
She had never seen foreigner, but
she had heard much gossip Of our GUS
toms. Her inquiring mind was intent
upon verifying this group as far as
possible, and she was also very curious
about our possessions. She taught us
how to hold our chopsticks and how to
drink our soup. A little more noise
from our lips would show that we were
appreciating the flavor, she admon-
iShed.
When the beds were finally laid she
brought fresh brewing of tea and re-
plenished the charcoal In the hibachi.
She lighted our after-dinner cigarettes
for us by pressing them against the
embers. She sat waiting until we drop
ped the last stub into the ashes. Then
the guardian midget rolled back the
quilts, ordered US to bed, tucked US in
,capefully, giving to each impartially Q
goodnight pat.

Sara Teasdale has won the first
prize ever offered in America for a
book Of poems. The award came to
Miss Teasdale through her latest book
Of verse, Love Songs"
The prize was $500, offered by
Columbia university, for the first time
in the university's history, for book
Of poems written by an American citi-
zen, published during the year 1917.
Three eminent critics acted as judges.
This was the Poetry society prize, and
it was competed for by both men and
women poets Of renown, and the fact
that Sara Teasdale won speaks vol
umes for the quality Of her poetry.
Although one Of the younger
American poets, Sara Teasdale (Mrs.

lovers of poetry, and her work has

that the Germans were advancing
somewhat In their recent drive. VII
lage after village had come under the
German guns and homeless old men,
women, children-well. sick, helpless
were hurried into Paris for redistribu-
don to friends and relatives or to be
assigned to the care Of some unbom-
barded French city or town.
As trainload after trainload Of these
unfsstunates Of war were delivered in
the Care du Nord and other depots Of
Paris, the refugees and their belong
ings made, for time, one Of the worst
human tangles imaginable. To get an
idea Of the conditions at the Paris sta
tions during these few days. think Of
the railway station in your nearest
large American city. Imagine It on
the busiest days of the week with It's
ordinary human and freight traffic
greatly swelled by the passing through
Of thousands of soldiers who have to
be fed and provided with bathing and
sleeping accommodations. Then i'm
agine that same station called upon
suddenly to feed and lodge for tYo
days and nights, 5000 homeless,
moneyless people. Where would an
American community find quickly-in
an hour two-the 960 mattresses and
the 620 piles Of straw covered with
blankets which supplemented the
benches, canteen tables and piles Of
luggage az sleeping places for this
tired multitude Of French refugees2
OF the crowd Of unexpected guests,
many were very old, others sick, quite
few entirely helpless. There were
hundreds Of little children; some had
lost their parents in the shuttle. A few
mutilated children, victims Of explo-
sions near their homes, required Inn
mediate surgical and nursing care. 9th

tagious diseases and had to be quar-
antined at once In detention hospitals.
There were enough tiny babies to keep
sixty Red Cross nursing bottles busy
all the time.
Add to this human flotsam and Jet
sam. piles Of furniture, baby carriages,
bicycles, kitchen utensils, bedding,
clothes and last but not least number
of live goats, live chickens and pet
dogs that had to be fed and watered.
and you have some idea of the civilian
relief problems that the American Red
Cross and other agencies must solve
after thrust and withdrawal on the
front.
Tlpless Porters.
But the American Red Cross was
ready and right on the Job when the
first trains began to come in. Men In
Red Cross uniforms were on the plat
forms ready to act as tipless porters.
They made trip after trip loaded down
with the personal belongings of the
refugees-perhaps leading a goat or
carrying live chickens again assisting
the weak or lame to reach the canteens
upstairs where quantities Of hot food
and drink were being made ready for
distribution through the Red Gross and
other canteens, and where cots were
provided for the lame and very feeble.
Food was the first thought Of nearly
all-particularly famished children
who had had little to eat for many
hours. All Of the canteens, reinforced
