GERMANS DOUBT MILLION YANKEES
 ARE IN FRANCE
They Figure IfCan't Be Done, But Hun General
 Staff Is Worried.

r Amsterdam, July 13.-The military contributor to the Nord Deutsche All gemeine Zeitung, in discussing Secre- tary of War Bakers recent announce ment as to the number of American soldiers sent to overseas, evidently writes from official inspiration. His arguments are similar to those of Leut. General von Ardenne. who in the Dusseldorf Nachrichten last Tuesday, asserted he did not believe the figures of American man power and that numbers do not count any how
 "We are unable to verify the ac- curacy of Secretary Bakers figures. However, they are only intended to throw dust into the eyes of the world The large number claimed for the last three months seems to us quite im- possible in view of the shortage of enemy tonnage" The Nord Deutsche Allgemeine Zeitung's contributor ar- gues. He then presents a calculation of his own and comes to the conclu- sion: "It can't be done."
 "Let us assume that Secretary Bak- CTS figures are correct" he contin- ues. "We need not be alarmed. A na- tion which has fought world of ene- mics four years cannot be frighten- ed by the American bogy. We are un- impressed. They are only cannon fod- der and not the equals of our war proved unconquerable troops. Wonders About Officers
 "What is million of Americans trained and equipped Russians who compared to the 10,000.O00 we'll have fallen out of the battle line? Where could the Americans have rais- ed the requisite number of officers and noncommissioned officers so ex- peditiously?"
 The writer then goes on to argue that what England failed to do, Am erican cannot accomplish. He declares that the American fighting men can- not be properly equipped because the American war material manufacture CTS are swindlers.
 Moreover, our experiences with the American soldiers has not served to fill us with overmuch respect for them although many doubtless are regulars and comparativelv we'll trained" -he says. "We would not be afraid of 5.000.O00 of them. They do not know what they are fighting for"
 The military contributor concludes:
 "We do not believe there is large number, of them in the battle line and even if it were true we will whip them anyhow"

AUTO LICENSE AGENT HERE

the commission, recently received 4
return of some Of the applications
and the fees therefor. with notations
that the license tax for the last part
Of 1917 was not paid.
Mr. Berteaux is at a loss to under
stand how a 1917 license can be ex-

their cars in 1918, and has written

Considerable complaint is manifest

He was clever. entertaining, and
had been attentive TO me- had
fancied that his feeling for me had
been something warmer than friend
ship. and several times I had feared
he was on the verge of proposing to
me, but I had checked him before he
could say that which I had not cared
to hear.
Since my marriage my heart had
been so full of my own happiness
that thoughts of this man had not
fingered with me. He had called twice,
but Jack and had been out on both
occasions. We had invited him to
dinner with some other friends one
evening, but had not seen him alone
since the day TO which 1 have re-
ferred, when Mrs. Hampton walked
into my fathers drawing room and
found me chatting with this one OF my
prospective ushers.
y say. Louise, the sight OF you Is
good for sore eyes" he told me now
as we strolled uptown together. Il
really believe that you look younger
and prettier than ever You haven't
lost a bit of your looks or animation"
why should I?'' I retorted-
Marriage does make some women
look mature and settled" he leased,
but I might have known it wouldn't
do that to you. You always did have
a way of getting the best out Of life.
And no girl but you would have had
the nerve and initiative to let her hus-
band go off to one church within a
few months after her marriage, while
she went off by herself to another"
Jack thinks I am at hme," I eX-
planned. Il did not decide to come out
until after he had gone around for his
mother"
We'll, 1 admire your independence
all the same" Harold Lester insisted.
Too many married people live in each
others pockets. and they get dread
fully uninteresting to outsiders"
I laughed 1 felt very light-hearted.
He was right in approving OF my
independence. Why need I sit alone
at home just because my husband
felt he had upon him other claims
than mine?
4 Compliment.
I am glad you do look at things
so sensibly," Harry was saying when
1 listened to him again, for perhaps
you will be kind enough to let me
take you out once in a while when
Jack cannot take you I never did
see why, just because a woman is
married, she had TO drop all her old
friends. You and used to be great

Library WANT
RULES OBSERVED
Reminders for Overdue
Books, by Letter; Guaran-
tors Will Be He'll.

At the annual meeting Of the board
Of directors of the FL Paso Public
library, held Monday evening, some
changes were made in regard to de-
linquent notices, Mrs. NJ. D. Sullivan,
librarian, said Tuesday.
Owing to the great expense Of
postage. stationery and valuable
time, two notices viii not be sent for
overdue books, as has been done here
tofore One reminder by letter viii
be mailed when a book has been
overdue seven days. II there is a
mistake in the notice. the borrower
is asked to let the library know at
once. otherwise the guarantors will
be notified in 30 days.
Borrowers are constantly COM
planning that they do not receive the
postcard notices which have been
sent them as first notices." said the
librarian For this reason il was
thought that a letter reminder might
be more sure Of reaching its destina-
ton. Changes Of address must be re
ported to the library at once We
mail notices TO the last address left
rs and If the borrower fails TO re-
ceive 1t, the library is not at fault.
We also have complaints that cards

mailed to the owners, and are not
kept in our files. The library viii

Business Killed by War,

Lost through war are many once
familiar and picturesque London char
acters. The old apple woman, fea-
ture of the itinerant street life of the
city and the West End, Drowned by
exposure to all weathers, has disap-
peared with the little go-cart on which
her stock was arrayed. The times
are out Of joint for her trade. When
apples, with Well-polished skins, could
be retailed at a penny each she
fourished; even when, under the stress
Of war prices, they rose to two pence
each there was living for her. To
day, with apples selling at six pence
each, she has been forced out Of bus
mess. The orange woman has followed
in the wake Of the apple woman. There
is no casual trade for oranges at
from three pence to six pence each.
The chocolate woman has given up,
because chocolate is unprocurable !;
while the woman who sold penny
worths of "lollipops" to errand boys
has found her trade killed by the
sugar shortage-London Times.

CHANCES In Mems Clothes.

Fashion is doing it's bit too. The
International Custom Cutters conven-
ton ruled out patched pockets, belts
and turned-up trousers. If they would
only go back to the old-fashioned shirt
cuffs, sew the buttons on the trousers
on the outside of the waist band, and
take off a yard or two Of the four-in-
hand neckties we would get somewhere
near where the weary are at rest. They
already have made overcoats fit more
closely in order to save material, but
they dissipate that saving by making
sack coats a trifle longer. Of course,
there is sort of economy in long
sack coat, for in ruling out the patched
pockets all other patches are, doubt
less, included. 1t is quite hard for a
fashion convention to make a mistake
If it only changes the styles.-Ohio

Clear Roads for Dispatch Bearer.

After grazing upon the auto truck
cover of recent issue saddened and
cynical reader wrote to Golfers Week
1y:
"You have made a great mistake.
You have placed all the army trucks
on the side of the road, leaving ample
room for trucks going in the opposite
direction to travel without going down
in the ditch. My experience with army
motor trucks is that they always trav-
el on the crown of the road, and when
you see one on the side Of the road you
can figure that it is broken down."
Golfers replied: 'Be this observa-
ton true or not, there is one being be-
fore whom even the ruthless and dis
dainful truck driver quails-the dis
patch rider. There is no more soul
satisfying sight for a harassed pedes-
trian in the French war zone than that
Of dispatch motorcycle shooting down
a road at so miles an hour, with a
two-mile line of motor trucks and staff
cars scuttling hastily into the bitches
to get out of the way"
