 Of course, you can get anything you for it, but if you chance to be plain American it might not be so easy to get a square meal as you think In the first place you can't go in and in approved New Yorkish, tell the waiter to go ahead and bring you meal, because the waiter wouldn know what you were talking about. Why should he? Isn't it enough that he should speak Spanish. Italian and dozen different South American dia- lects without having to be bothered about English?
 How in the world is any one from LErfant's dairy lunch to know that "sopa" means something to eat and is not new toilet necessity. It is just the same, and the soup you would get if you took a chance would be mighty fine. too. Or, if you didn't want any soup, but instead, asked for revelations, wouldn't it surprise you to
  Under the heading of plates del dia it wasn't quite so surprising to order fricase de polio and get chicken fric- assee.
 As English. with all it's variations, seems to be the prevailing language of New York, so Spanish with it's var:- ations must prevail in South America. At any rate. every one of the 10 diff ferent nationalities represented in the dining room of the Caracas when I dined there were all conversing flu ently in the one tongue, and the Pe- ruvian professor of phrenology, the Cuban cattle grower, the Venezuelan banker and the Mexican trader all found Costillas de Carnere quite as iri- telligent to them as lamb chops.

 Sir Eric has had splendid time in Washington.

SMASHING GERMAN RECORDS

New York Correspondence in the Pitts
 burg Dispatch.
 The knell of such musical German propaganda as Die Wacht am Rhein" and Deutschland Uber Allies" was sounded yesterday when more than 15oo phonograph records embracing these and similar airs were destroyed by com mittee of women acting under the au- spices of the national photograph rec ords recruiting corps. The records were reduced to fragments with hammers at the corps headquarters. Aside from rid ding the country of all German records that savor of propaganda, the primal purpose of the organization is the gath ering up of ali stacker records" in the country for the entertainment of Ameri- can boys in the front-line trenches. To this end stacker drive for records will be launched next week.

American" and has not forgotten the old American slang phrases he learned while working on the railroad.
 A remarkable incident happened in con- nection with his arrival at "an Atlantic port.'' When his ship was a day out probably 500 miles from shore, a young American eagle flew on board. The bird was utterly exhausted and in a few more hours must have fallen into the sea.
 When some members of my staff first told me an American eagle had come aboard said Sir Eric, T thought they were pulling the first lords leg, which, of course. they couldn't do. I would not believe the yarn until they showed me. For want of a bird cage we had to put the eagle in the dog kennel to re- cuperate, and then we were to give him his liberty again.
 Tt might be said, then, that in this instance the British navy rescued the American eagle" some one suggested
 Tt would be rather nicer, I think. to say the American eagle flew far to greet the British navy" replied Sir Eric.
 The first lord talked freely and inter- estingly of the fight being waged against the German submarines and of the steps taken to safeguard the transport of the American troops. The fight against the U-boats Is still far from won. Germany is exerting all her naval energies in the construction of underwater craft, but the boats are not as efficient as they were, for most of the trained commanders and crews, the men with a real Hare for submarine work, are gone.
 we have some of their best com manders in England.' said Sir Eric, and some one else has more of them

 That is just the gentleman I had in mind
 Sir Eric Geddes is the type of man called to the forefront in Great Britain by the war who will do much to bring about better understanding and a closer relationship between the English-speak- ing peoples of the world when the war is over. He is big and broad and he knows Americans as well as Britishers. and he wants to see them always pulling together, as they are doing now.
