appointed time.
1t was a happy lot Of 'newsies"
that entered the banquet hall at /
o'clock. Boys on crutches, many
poorly clad, some ~shivering from the
cold, and all hungry, they could not
conceal their great Joy as they were
lined up at the tables. The second lot

last arrivals at 4 o'clock. The tables
wero attended by girls from Teachers
College OF Columbia University.
Nothing on the mem card pointed
TO hard times" The boys had every

could have as many portions as he
desired.

AUSTRIA'S REBELS WAIT
FOR CHANCE

Washington.-Only Austrian bay
onets against their undefended
breasts prevent rebellion by the
Cechs and Slovaks.
AS soon as an offensive is started
with sufficient force to require Aus
tria to move her internal garrisons
to the front, members of the Cecho-
Slovak international committee here
predict that their countrymen will
rise in force and overthrow their
Austrian masters.
Ninety per cent of the personnel
of the Austrian navy, it was stated
here today on high authority, is
Yugo-Slav and Croat. These men
hitherto have been willing to fight
Italy because they believed that
Italy's Adriatic policy was as much
the menace against their freedom
as is the domination of Austria.
Troubles in the Austrian navy re-
ported within the last few days are
interpreted here as certain sign.

ordered to march back to Soltau.
I could go no futher without water,

about water, sending me after IT.

100000 AVAILABLE TO

Washington.-The estimate of the
War Department on the number of

VINO have become iwenty-one since
June 5, 1917, was placed to day at
100000 by Secretary Baker. The
estimate was based on figures pre-
pared by Provost Marshal General
Crowder.
Almost 100000 men registered
last year, including Al tttween
twenty-one and thirty-one. A little
more than 10 per cent. of these men
were twenty-one. On that basis it
is estimated that this years registra-
ton will exceed 100000. vi these,
10000 will be available for mill
tary service, after making allowance
for physical defects, exemptions be-
cause of dependents and other bars
to military service.

AMERICANS USING TACTICS
OF INDIANS IN NIGHT RAIDS.

There is a brand OF night prowler
being developed on our trout which
bodies no good for the Germans. No
mans land is offering an opportu-
nifty for many American soldiers to
show they have imbobed all the
stealth and cunning of Indian fight
ers or even Indians themselves. In
fact, a number of Indians are among
the keenest fellows who make fire.
quent nightly incursions into no
mans land or who raid enemy
trenches and 'outposts.
Just month ago on ,hiJ front
many of our soldiers looked upon 60
ing over the top into no man land
as a novelty. But not so any longer,
for they have become quite accus-
toned to it and are hard to restrain.
Many of these patrol incidents, while
occupying an inconspicuous place in
regular communique, often are
thrilling to the extreme and are SYM
pomatic of American adaptability to
all the novelties of this deadly game
of war.
Two nights ago heavy rainclouds
blanketed the moon and the Ger
man decided that he might abandon
his recent cave dwelling habits and
do some sleuthing around the Ameri-
can trenches. AT different inter
walls, all night, came sounds of scufl-
ing, of blows and, frequently, flashes
from American pistols. 1t was
hazardous work because in the lark
ness is was hard to tell where ones
men were Little encounters in
which our men easily got the best OF
it, for they all came back, none seri-
ously wounded, though it is known
some Germans were badly slashed
with knives.
The experience of one of our pa
trolls on recent night was a severe
test to the nerves of all concerned.
This patrol had gone into certain
German outposts and was returning
to its own lines when the Germans
opened fire. Immediately signals
were sent up to have a barrage laid
down on the German lines and the
strong points whence the machine
gun firing was coming.
To the dismay of one of our Off
GERS, who had ordered the display of
a certain number of flares, he saw
that not all of them had famed up,
and that the signals as displayed
meant a barrage which would pro-
badly annihilate the American pat
rol. The barrage came. AS quick
~ as possible another string of flares
was sent up, this time successfully
Shortly afterward the American
patrol came in, unscathed except for
"a smearing with mud. They had
taken refuge in shell holes.
AS is the case on the fronts of the
other American sectors, there is the
keenest rivalry here among the snip
ers, who are doing most effective
work. One of our officers who is a
crack shot spotted two Germans he
hind their front line the other day,
but was so eager to pick them off he
was afraid his aim would not he
true. In relating the experience to
me to-day he said:
IF l had shot at them and missed
l would never have forgiven myself
so just called the best shot in oui
company, a Sergeant, and he got
both before they had time to think.

FRANCE CHERIsHEs
AMERICAN DEAD.

The French have shown pro-
found respect for American soldiers
who have died in the service, and
the preparations being made by the
American and French military
authorities for a Joint observance of
Memorial Day will be a further tri-
butte to Americas dead in Europe
This will be the first Memorial Day
in history when the Yankee have
been nuder arms in Europe.
The French have been diligent in
keeping fresh decorations in the lit
tie cemetery back of the lines.
Large emblems are ingeniously FASH
toned by wiring artificial flowers and
French grain. The emblems are
more elaborate and outlast those
seen in American cemeteries.
The graves of the Americans who
have died from sickness or wounds
or who have been slain in battle are
promptly visited by the French Off
GERS of rank in automobiles bearing
the emblems for the purpose of keep
ing the graves green.
This reverence is deeply appreciat-
ed by the Americans and it has help
ed strengthen the bonds of natural
sympathy.

The diggers keep six or more
graves open in advance at all times,

Americans are quiet or active
These reserve graves are covered
with canvas to keep out the frequent
rains.
Alter each burial a wooden cross
two feet high is sunk into the earth
at the head of the fresh mound. A
square metal marker inscribed with
the name of the unit and the Gate OF

on the cross. Just above is tackled

In the spare time the comrades Of
the dead men stroll to the hills and
valleys in which the graves are To-
Gated and kneel in prayer and with
their hands and sticks smooth the
mounds and plant violets and for
get-me-nots.

few of our dead are buried is situat-
ed on a hillside overlooking a peace

cannon. The aircraft of the allies
