What the Map Shows.

Springfield Republican: A mere
glance at the map shows that the allies
would get possession of one of the most
valuable parts Of Germany at no cost
in human life or in the expenditure of
war material if the president could in
duce by diplomatic means the with
drawal of the German armies beyond
the Rhine This side of the Rhine are
substantially all of the priceless iron
ore deposits of Germany, the loss of
which would ruin her industrially and
also in military sense for generations
to come. German Lorraine is on this
side of the Rhine. The French have
not had the whole course of the Rhine
for military frontier since the heyday
of Napoleon I. Just what dreadful
thing is meant when the presidents
"candid friends" warn him against
letting the German armies "withdraw
in safety behind the Rhine" cannot be
made out.

YANKS HATE TO TOTE BREAD
Take Chances of Going Hungry in
France Rather Than Carry Loaf
With Them.

Somewhere in France.-American
soldiers and sailors sometimes find it
difficult when on leave to get all the
bread they want in French cities.
Bread is issued by card, one ticket be-
ing good for 100 grammes. There are
three tickets for each day. The Amer
lean government feeds its own men,
and unless a soldier is detached, or on
some special duty where he cannot
reach his own mess, no provision is
made for his eating outside his own
quarters, and he does not get French
bread tickets.
When soldiers are on leave from
camp or sailors get shore leave they
are reminded to take along a loaf of
Yankee bread 50 they will have some
when they go into French restaurant.
But few do this. They don't want to
be encountered all day long with loaf
Of bread under their arm. They are
willing to take a chance on getting in
TO a restaurant where they can get
bread, or, if the worst comes, go with
out.

WOMAN DRIVES TRUCK
Makes Better Time on Long
Trip Than Man.
Takes 1t Apart and
Fixes 1t.
BY ELoISE ROBINSON.

Paris.-The lieutenant looked wor-
ried and a little apologize.
81 don't like to ask it. I know that
isn't what the Y. M. G. A. is for. But
Il it is possible"
"How about it, Miss Cow? You're
the one to say" The divisional secre-
tary turned TO the woman in the mo-
tor transport uniform.
"Why certainly, lieutenant. If you're
not afraid to trust me. I've never
driven a Fiat truck, or any car as
heavy as that, and you're taking a risk.
eth take it!' The lieutenant's
flown disappeared. "Gosh, that sets
ny mind at rest! IF I sent the only
man have down to Paris for the
truck he would be a month getting
back with it, and goodness only knows
what condition it would be in when il
got here. But I'll rest easy if you
undertake it. If you can get back
inside Of two weeks I wish you'd do
it."
So Miss Ella Cow, a Scottish WON,
an serving with the American Y. M
O. A., who, by the way, has been deco
rated for distinguished service to the
Serbian government-went to Paris
and brought back the truck. She isn't
very big herself, and everybody sal
she couldn't do it. They didn't know
her.
She came driving up the hill into
v in just week from the time she
had left, and one day and night OF
that time had been spent on the train
getting to Paris.
"She works little hard, lieutenant,
Miss Cow told the officer. 'You have
to shove her clear through to fourth
and then bring her back to where you
want her."
The lieutenant tried to shove her
He couldn't. He pushed and painted
and became red in the face and useC
bad words. But nothing worked.
"She's beast" Miss Cow admitted
'You have to get on to her. But thinf
l can make her all right if you don'
mind my taking her apart"
'Do anything you want" growlet
the lieutenant.
So Miss Cow took her apart, anG
now the lieutenant can drive her.

The Woodrow Wilson Way.

Milwaukee Journal: In terms that
cannot be mistaken Mr. Wilson tells the
German rulers that he will not enter
into peace negotiations with them even
though they have stated that they will
accept his terms. and will not transmit
their proposal to our associates in the
war. The plain inference from this is
that he will not deal with them even on
the basis of unconditional surrender.
But he has made it clear that he will
deal with government which, instead
of existing at the kaiser's will, repre-
sents the people of Germany and is re-
sponsible to them only. Thus he gives
them the choice between asserting
themselves against the kaiser or being
overwhelmed and crushed along with
the kaiser Moreover, even if they
overthrow the kaiser, they must accept
the allies terms, the first Of which is
likely to be unconditional surrender.
On this point Paris dispatch has these
significant statements: The president,
The Petit Parisien says, seeks to pre-
pare the separation of the German ma
ton from it's present rulers and if he
succeeds Prussian militarism will be
dead The Petit Journal says it is the
sentence of a supreme, impartial and
honorable judge that President Wilson
has pronounced, and his sentence rem
ders justice to Germany.
A demand now for unconditional
surrender would tend to unite the Ger
man people behind the kaiser and to
prolong the war. President Wilson 8
course is likely to bring the end of the
war nearer and to make more certain
an enduring peace.

IS GUEST OF PRINCE
American Engineer Takes Lunch,
Seated on Throne.
Private in Pacific Coast Regiment Has
Remarkable Experience in
Monaco.

Somewhere in France.-Sitting on
a real rulers throne was the unusual
experience of an American private SOL
dier-William Williamson, a member
of a Pacific coast engineer regiment
during his recent seven-day furlough.
The throne was that of the prince of
Monaco.
Williamson elected to spend his va
cation on the shores of the Mediter-
ranean. After visiting Marseilles,
Nice and other southern France re-
sorts, he went to Monte Carlo. Find
ing the gaming table denied to SOL
diers in uniform he went to view the
palace. Swiss guards at the gate re-
fused to allow him to enter.
Later, at cafe he got to talking
with a Monacoan who spoke good
English and proved to have an ac-
quaintance with millionaire American
yachtsmen. Williamson told him of
his futile attempt to enter the palace.
The Monacoan offered to introduce
him at the door and show him through
the palace. He had no trouble in get
ting in this time. Arriving at the
throne chamber the simple soldat
American" was almost overcome
with the splendor Of the room. He
received another shock when his host
invited him to mount the throne. Aft
er he had become comfortably seated
luncheon was served.
Comparing his feast on the throne
chair to the many times he had stood
at the tail end of a line of $50 men
with mess kit to get his share of ba-
con and hash, Williamson was prompt
ed to remark:
"It must be very fine to be a prince"

HERO BEL|T7LES DEED:
Doesn't Think Much of Act That
Won Cross.
All He Did Was Swim River Under
Fire and Rescue Wounded
Frenchman.

Pittsburgh.-"Now listen, get me!
There's been SO much hot air about
this hero stuff that want you to get
it straight. / saw this French bird
across the river and I went and got
him. If hadn't someone else probably
would have taken the same chance"
In these words Capt. Walter R.
Flannery, who was awarded the Cross
Of War for swimming the Marine river
and rescuing wounded French sol
der at the time the Germans held the
Aisne-Marne salient, disposes of any
attempt to make a hero of him for the
deed. At the time Flannery was lieu
tenant. He is at his home here on a
furlough.
The wounded man lay on the bank
across the river from where the
Americans were stationed at Savigny.
Disregarding a French officers warn
ing that it probably was a ruse to at
tract Americans over that the Huns
might learn what division opposed
them, Flannery waited until nightfall,
when he stripped to his underclothing
and swan across. The Germans
spotted him and most of the trip was
under water. Flannery tells the rest
of the story as follows:
'When l got over I found the man.
All the French I knew was ici, ici'-
here here'-and then the bird went
hysterical and refused to come into
the water. He was too weak to tie
the rope / had brought along, so I
had to drag him in. We got over all
right
"But the joke was that a couple of
days later I got orders to report to
French colonel Headquarters was
about seven miles away, so I hoofed
it back, expected to be put on patrol
duty of some sort. I presented my
program was. They told me to go
stand behind major. l did, but the
major kept rambling around, and me
after him like a goof.
'"Then | was told to 60 forward on
the parade ground, and a French gen.
eral lined me up, pointed sword at
me and turned on the French. It
wasn't much of a conversation, for l
didn't know what he was talking about,
SO I just grinned. Then he let down
the sword pinned this on me-the
Croix de Guerre-and started kissing
me. Say, that mustache tickled me

CONTAGIOUS DISEASE MASKS
From the Extension Division Of the
University Of Wisconsin.
n. E. DEARHoLT., M D., DIRECTOR

Recently, | wrote of how the army
has gained control Of the spit borne
contagious diseases by requiring vic
tins to wear gauze masks. I suggested
that people in civil life can profit by the
method if they are intelligent enough
and care enough to use a good disease
prevention method without being
forced to do so at the point of a sol
dier's bayonet.
1t is known that the commOner forms
of contagious diseases are spread by
coughing, sneezing and splitting. This
includes Spanish Influenza, the epidem
ic which is today causing anxiety to
every we'll informed citizen. Army
surgeons realized that if they could
catch the spit and destroy the germs in
it before it reached unaffected persons,
the latter could be made absolutely
safe. What the army surgeon has
done, the mothers in any community
can do.
A surgeon, or nurse, can tell how to
make the masks which are precisely
She same as those worn by the physician
and his assistants to prevent spit borne
infections in the operating rooms. Per-
haps | can describe them we'll enough
to permit any mother to make them for
her own family.
The masks consist of three or four
LAYERS of rather fine mesh surgeons
gauze, cut into pieces seven inches
square (adult size.) Upon each cor
ner, a piece Of tape is sewed for the
purpose of holding the gauZe over the
mouth of the wearer. The tapes from
the upper corners are carried over the
ears and tied comfortably behind the
head. Those from the lower corners
are tied behind the neck. When the
mask becomes intentionally moistened
by the breath, or by sneezing and
coughing of the wearer, it is replaced
by dry mask. The wet masks should
be sterilized by boiling Is minutes, af
ter which they can be handled and
dried without danger.
In the army hospitals, the doctors,
nurses and attendants also wear masks
to prevent their mourning infection
or carrying to patients, unsupported
germs from their own noses, throats
and lungs.
