WHEN NoYoN WAS EVACUATED
DespaIrIna Villagers Could Not at
Once Believe That Savage Huns
Were Really Gone.

Noyon was before the war Just one
Of the many sleepy old French pro-
vincial towns, with an hotel de Vile,
and a cathedral. and little gray streets
twisting out into a rich, green agrf-
cultural plain; now. writes Elizabeth
shepley Sergeant, in Nthe Century, 1t
will always be remembered as the
town nearest to Paris-only 60 miles
anywhere the enemy stayed for
two and a half years. 1t had been used
during the occupation as a sort OF con-
~centration center from the actual fir
ing line. Before the retreat. however,
virtually all the useful members of the
community had been deported; all the
men between sixteen and sixty-there
we're a good many of territorial age
not modified during the first days o
the war, and therefore caught by tn
German invasion-and most of the
women between the same ages except
those who had dependent children. 1t
was, then, a community largely made
up of old women and children and OF
the very old, who, on a certain Thurs
day in March, were ordered to go into
their houses, close their shutters, and
not come out for 4S hours. Promptly
a series Of explosions began, very
alarming explosions, which made the
poor people inside tremble. What new

sounds went on for q day and o half
gradually growing fewer on the sec
ond morning. BY afternoon, strange
". nothing whatever could be heard;
not a voice. not a rumble. The bold
est spirits pushed open the shutters a
little and perceived that the streets
were absolutely deserted-the gray
green soldiers were nowhere to be
seen. Slowly and cautiously, hating
at every step. they ventured out and
up into the center OF tae town. coming
back with the astonishing news. the
news nobody dared believe. that the
Germans were gone. They had blown
up the bridges, burned a few factories,
cut down trees along the r~oadsldes,
and made OF. Even then the French
inhabitants believed there must be
some trick about It; and when their
own soldiers, looking unfamiliar In
blue uniforms instead Of the old red
and black, entered the town the next
morning, they tried, In the midst Of
the tears and welcomes, to hold them
back lest they get caught in an am
bush. II was true, though; the peo-
pie Of the Noyon region were again
free citizens of France.

NOT IN Geld BLOOD
Soldier Simply Could Not "TilP'
His Prisoner.
But Though There Was an impedi-
ment In His Speech, His Comrades
Found There Was Nothing
Wrong With His Courage.

he was the 'baby'' Of the company.
This sobriquet was not applied In
irony. His comrades had dubbed him
this because of his youth and an Inn
pediment of speech. He couldn't pro-
nornce his C's, KS and SIS, especially
when those consonants were the first
letter of the word. And consequently
his conversation had the sound of a
th~ree-year-old. But those of his mates
who had poked fun at him n day
learned that though his speech and
manner might be childish, there was
stern stuff beneath.
During an allied attack the platoon
of which the baby" was a member
was held up In an old trench by Boche
machine gun fire and snipers. The
baby discovered an enemy sniper In
O shell hole and reported him to his
lieutenant.
go out and get him." ordered the
lieutenant.
Obeytng orders, over the top the
'baby" crawled, and creeping up be-
hind the Hun, forced him to surrender.
Unable to bring him back, he took
away all his ammunition and crawled
back to his own lines again.
"What thai / do with hlm?" the
'baby" asked the Lieutenant.
\ Better kill him, he's probably got
hand grenades and a gun hidden about
him and we're in too ticklish a posi-
tion to be bothered with prisoners"
ar>wered the harried officer.
Out again went the "baby," all
primed for the execution. The Boche
saw him coming, dropped to his knees.
clasped his hands In prayerful en-
treaty and begged for mercy-a habit
Of the Boche after they have exhaust
ed all their ammunition killing and
wounding all the Americans they can.
Twice the "baby' raised his bayo-
net to run the Hun through. And
twice the renewed ~entreaties Of the
terrified German sniper made him hes
itate. Finally, with q gesture Of de
spair. he ordered the Boche to crawl
ahead of him to the American line.
Reaching 1t. the "baby" put his pris-
cner in a dugout. Then he went in
search of his lieutenant and reported:
Lieutenant, I tan't till that d.
Boche, sir. Please get tomeone else
to till him."
The officer couldn't help laughing,
and sent the "baby" back to his post.
An hour later the 'baby" was wound
ed by another sniper and ordered to
the dressing station In the rear.
Hes all broken up, sir, because he
couldn't carry out the ~lieutenant's or
ders," said his comrade to the Ameri-
can Red Cross worker in the dressing
station.-From a Red Cross Scrap

MANY VARIETIES OF SUGAR
Those Which Are Contained In Dried
Fruits Are Recommended N Of
Very High Food Value.

When you say sugar, you mean that
white crystalline material which
comes originally from the sugar cane
or the sugar beet. And that substance
is a pure sugar. But 1t is not the only
sugar, by any means.
If you were a chemist you would
call that sugar "sucrose," and you
would remark quite casually that, OF
course, there are other sugars.
Some of these other sugars r "giu-
cose," or "d~extrose," or grape sugar"
"fructose - or '1evulose," or fruit
sugar" '1actose," or milk sugar )"
and "maltose," or malt sugar"
Honey, cor sugar. maple sugar and
maple strip, corn strip and many 9TH
err sirups contain M or more Of these
"other sugars" In this sense. all the
sugar substitutes are not really sub
stitutes at all, but are sugars just as
cane sugar is sugar. All fruits con-
tain sugar Of one kind or another.
Dried fruits-prunes, figs. apricots,
dates-contain a great deal Of sugar.
They can be used by themselves as
sources of fuel for home fighters.
All these sugars hive a very high
food value. That is the second fact
to keep in mind. They are energy
foods and Of particular value In that
they act very rapidly In producing
energy for the body to use.

JOKE FOR MODERN BURGLAR

probably have a good laugh. For q
"tnodern" safeblower must be a bit
of a scientist with a large knowledge
Of explosives; an old-fashioned safe
would be easy for him to get into; but,
in those days the Herring safes were
considered marvels and absolutely
theft and flreproof.
Herring was born In Shrewsbury,
Vt, and began his career as n grocery
clerk. firing Of this after some six
years, he went into the lottery bust
ness, saved $4,000 and started a
wholesale grocery concern In New
York city. A fire and a panic ruined
his business. so he obtained the agency
for the Salamander safes-so named,
probably. because they were able to
come through fire unhurt. He got the
right to manufacture them later, and
kept on improving and improving them
each year. He ono put $1,000 In the
drawer Of one. sent 1t to the worlds
fair and { erred the money to any one
who coulL get into the safe and get

Remarkable Tactics.

In ground flying" tactics the pilot
acts mainly On his wi personal in
itiative, and he must be prepared to
attack the enemy wherever he may be
found, either with bombs, grenades,
darts or m~achine-gun fire. Thus Ger
man officers in charge OF ammunition
dumps have every reason to fear the
approach of British slow fliers." The
fear of machine-gun fire is even great

been decimated and demoralized by

that they could only win by hard

NEUTRALITY-SUSPICIOUS. IN
BRIDGEPORT ASSERT LOYALTY

Resolutions accepted by thousands
of Hungarians at mass meeting held
recently at Bridgeport, Conn.,, are in
dicative for the most part of the SEN
timent among the Hungarian ele-
ments in our population. Practically
all the Hungarians in and about
Bridgeport, numbering about 10000,
have expressed their patriotism in
these resolutions, which were drawn
up and presented under the leadership
of Mr.. John Deszo, formerly of the
executive committee of the American
Hungarian Loyalty league. Among
them are the following:
'The gratitude towards America
has not ceased to fill our hearts. 1t is
not merely a sentiment, but has often
been proved by worthy deeds :.
with heart and soul we do now ap-
prove and promise to help the new
war work campaign also, knowing its
chief purpose is to safeguard the high
moral standard of the victorious Am
erican army.
Acknowledging and appreciating
the self-sacrifice of the United States
in behalf of the liberation of nations,
we respectfully request the rest of the
Hungarian colonies in America to fa-
vor the plan of a joint convention
which might worthily demonstrate our
further allegiance to the United
States, and properly express our de-
sire for a continued support from Am
erica in the struggle for complete
freedom of Hungary"
