loved AIsace-Lorraine.

bration in Paris was the most impos-
ing the city has seen in many years.
There was a slight interval for dinner,
after which the people again turned
out, crowding the streets, especially
the grand ~boulevardS, all of which
were brilliantly lighted as In the pre-
war days.
Long after midHght the air was
filled with the roar of voices lifted in
laughter and song. The people were
delirously happy without being rowdy.
They linked hands and danced around
groups of isolated soldiers, Americans
being notably the cente Of the wor-
Shipping throngs.
Conventions disappeared and the
young and old kissed and were kissed.
The French people SO far acquainted
with typical English songs, such as
"Tipperary," are now picking up Yank
tunes. like "Over There" and Dixie"
and also Sousa's march. The Ameri-

The poilu's "Madelon," to which many
English parodies have been attached.

The return of King Albert to his

Washington.-The recent epidemic
Of influenza in the United States
caused more deaths than occurred
among the American expeditionary

This announcement, made by the

forty-six cities having a combined pop
ulation of 2 $1,000, 900, which show ST.
306 deaths from influenza and pneu-

Normally, these cities would have

announcement, have recently been
unofffcially estimated at 100, 900. On
the basis of the number thus far re-

here to workers in the organization
THAT the Red Cross should stop or
that its spirit should die away, is I'M
beifevable," said Mr.. Wadsworth. "The
intense sympathy of America for SUI
fering humanity will not cease with
the coming of peace. Where suffering
exists, there America will go with an
open hand. asking NJ return except the
satisfaction OF having helped.
"As the nations have struggled to
excel on the battlefield, so now they
will struggle in the work of reconstruc-
ton which faces them.
Mr.. Wadsworth said that in feeding
and clothing the distressed peoples Of
Europe there can be no question that
grave emergencies will arise which
will require instant action on the part
of volunteer agencies able to cut red
tape and achieve quick results. Herein
will lie the opportunity of the Ameri-
ear Red Cross, he said.
The rise Of the American Red Cross
has been one of the wonders of the
war, Mr.. Wadsworth added. Through
this organization Americans in a year
and a half have contributed more
than $500, 600, 900 in money in addi-
ton to an amount of volunteer service
almost beyond imagination" The lar
gest Red Cross activity outside the

was that of Great Britain.
