STORIES OF THE WAR
4 French ViIIaoe Cafe.

cCorrespondsnce of The Associated
 Before the war the "Estaminet of the White Rose" a typical French village cafe, looked out over broad fields and a peaceful countryside. Today all that remains of it is the old sign board, splintered and bullet marked which hangs over the en- trance to a new Y. M. C. A. hut on the site of the old village cafe.
 The White Rose, in peace time. was the meeting place, every evening, of the French farmers, men with heavy boots and tanned skins, who came in for a drink or smoke, served daughter. Often the men sang quaint songs in their harsh voices, and the .rafters shook with prodigious laughter.
 Then came war, and the men carried their quaint songs far away south of the Ardennes. Other men, strangers, sat at the wooden tables in the uni form of the British army They too had tanned skins and heavy boots. and
 sang strange songs loudly. They called the patronne Mother" and joked with her. winning her affection.
 The Germans were advancing, and one evening their guns were heard. The inhabitants of the village gath cred their belongings and left their homes. The last to leave were the old inn-keeper and her daughter The German advance wavered and broke before the British counter at tack, but the German guns had done their work. It was a sad wreck that
 'Estaminet of the White Rose, l window deep in debris that looked out over fields scared with shell holes and muddy wastes on ev.sry side.

THE ACTS AT TAsRlz.

Demands have been increa sing as the result of the development of con- ditions for the declaration of war by the UHSted States against Turkey and Bulgaria. With the latter we still have urrbroken relations but the diplo- matic epresentatiyes of this country and Turkey were recalled over year ago. Because it was urged that more harm than good would result from the actual declaration of a state of war such step has not been taken Turkey has been carrying or it's mas sacres but it has been felt that some restraint has been shown by Turkey relative to Americans and their rights and likewise to missionary efforts be- cause war did not really exist It has been claimed that this would be quickly turned to resentment by in- cluding Turkey in the nations with which this country is at war and make it a stronger ally of Germany.
 The fact that Turkey has now gone into Persia, disregarding the rights Of that country, seized and sacked the American hospital and the American consulate at Tabriz makes it evident, if the reports are true, that what ever restraint has been exercised in the past now amounts to little, so that whatever reason there may have been in the past to refrain from a declaration of war has been pushed aside by this act of Turkey. It is not to be expected that action will be taken without first getting all the facts in the case. but it at present appears to be direct provocation for war and if such is found to be the case there should be no further de- lay.

 A dispatch from Munich states that the suicide of Mime. Sonia Lerch, the well-known German socialist, was due
 to her keen disappointment at the dis graceful failure of the Russian revolu- ton. <..-..-
 Mme. Lerch was arrested some | weeks ago for carrying on a seditious agitation in Munich, and she succeed ed in hanging herself in her cell while
 waiting for her trial for high treason.
 In her farewell letter to her friends she wrote:

Mir. Arthur Sowerby, the naturalist and explorer, who has just returned from perilous adventures in China to take up a commission with the Chi nese coolie battalion on the western front, belongs to an ancient Border family of scientists and artists who l1aVe-like the Darwins. Rockers and Henslows-furnished deyotees to bo- tanical research for several genera tions. The 12 big volumes of English Botany" still a standard work after 4e years, were mainly the work of the Sowerbys, though the popular portion, describing the favoritc flowers of the countryside, was written by the moth CT of Sir E. Ray Lankester.
 Another coincidence of the war. A soldier, serving in Flanders, wrote to his sister saying he had a lonely chum who asked him if he knew of any nice girl who would write to him and send him her photograph. The girl sent her own to her brother, and told him to pass it on to his chum. But this the brother refused to do. Later on the girl became engaged to a soldier who was convalescedt at the local military hospital He. had met the girls brother over in Flanders. and when t-IS ldLtSI WAS oIi 1GcSNG IIIS SlIl clI - ranged for the two to meet again. Then the brother confessed that this was the chum to whom he had refused his sisters photograph!
 The making of new words Con which "The Daily Chronicle" keeps watch) is less curious than the inversion of old ones.

THE WAR SAVINGS CAMPAIGN.

This is the day which marks the opening of the war savings stamp campaign. the movement in behalf of thrift which is expected to place in the treasury of the United States $2 oO0, 100000 this year for the pur- pose of meeting the war requirements proper backing for the soldiers and sailors.
 It is planned to have the whole country thoroughly covered by solici- tors who will present the details of the campaign, explain the purpose and what is expected of each and every individual. The people of the country are to be asked to pledge a fxed amount if they will but at least agree to save and invest as much as they can in this way for the purpose of helping the government. And while it means help to Uncle Sam it cannot be overlooked that it is through the saving which it is hoped to encourage. intended to act as the same time as the beginning of q habit which a great many people have not az yet cultivated.
 8 It has been truly said tthat the war savings stamps supply the final and conclusive answer to the question, How can we all help?" Many, and it might be said almost everyone, have at some time expressed the wish that they could do more to aid in the war. Financial assistance is a vital need and the practice of thrift which will provida tha fwo hiIIino fora,1ol, war saving stamp purchases gives everyone a chance to render some and in most cases increased assist ance. The stamps, it is to be remen bered. are not gifts. They are gov ernment securities and everyone should aim to possess as many as possible. Everyone should help and this is the chance for everyone.

accomplished by the reduction of con ,gestion on some of the most used lines by shifting the traffic to those lines which were formerly less used, by the Improvement in freight classification, by improved routings and the common use of terminals What has been done has been made possible by the placing of all the roads of the country under oae manage ment and the elimination of the in- constituencies which previously ex- istesf when the lines were operated separately and in cempetition.
 All this has been made possible as a war measure. It has been done to make it possible for the railroads to render the service at this time which the country demands. Handicapped previously by countless restrictions it was impossible for the roads to do other than they did. bat it is grau- flying that the war plan is so suc- cessfuily accomplishing it's purpose.

BETTER TRANSPORTATION.

The report which has been made by A. H. Smith. regional railroad direc- tor in the east. gives much encourage ment to the belief that the solution Of the transportation problems is fast being reached. According to his statement it is shown that there has been eliminated over 2,280,e0e miles of non essential passenger train mileage month, that blast furnaces which were operating to only 5z per cent. of their capacity in Februafy are now furnishing a normal production be- cause transportation shortcomings have been remedied. that there has heen a large addition to the motive power of the roads and that car shortage has been eliminated except for the open top type.
 This is improvement in the very d. -~-<ian that was needed. It has been
