OFFICERS SPIRIT

me the morning after he had dumped
his masters kit in my room, and I
don't think I felt any resentment at
being called fellow.
"These officers had that inevitable
eagerness to hear the guns and see the
inside Of warfare which one finds in
newly arrived British officers. And
there is the same kind Of specializing
and guessing as to what Is going to
happen, when it will happen, and the
chances Of an early 'blighty.' But
there is something more. These Amer
lean officers have definite views on the
war. One of them told me that he
expected to find the British and
French armies somewhat ragged and
worn after their long struggle. What
he had found was just the reverse.
The British army made him blink; 1t
was $50 highly polished and extraor-
dinarily smart, slick, alert and full of
'swank.' He expected to find low
morale, instead Of which he finds 1t
high. Personally think these officers
had come to criticize. but they remain
to admire in amaze.
"And all this discovery leads to a
certain shyness-something which is
new to Yankee temperament. My two
friends Of the heavy baggage seemed
to regard me as an expert in this war
game, and an expert who had to be
treated with respect. Consciously OF

EagernesS of the Americans to

play Desire to Learn and to
Be Where the Shells Are
Whizzinq.

Londonderry interesting stories
come from France about the keenness
of mind and the eager spirit OF the
American officers arriving at the front.
These officers get ION the job" at once
and display desire to learn and to be
where the shells are whizzing and the
Huns are to be seen.
The first tendency Of the Britshers
is to be somewhat envious Of the elab-
crate paraphernalia and equipment OF
the Americans, but the disposition OF
the latter to share everything he has
with his colleagues, be they French or
British, at once puts him on a most
friendly basis.
A British officer, writing in the
Daily News, tells Of the arrival of
two Of these American officers at
the front. After describing an old
French chateau, "full Of gusts Of wind.
| Of ghosts and labyrinthine passages"
he says that these two Americans
lugged into the place with trunks and
bags and quickly made themselves at
home.
Make Themselves at Home at Once.
He describes their entrance thus:
"And just then the door creaked
open, and two pleasant faced young
men In khaki, and wearing wide
awake hats with gold and black cord
twined around them, put their heads
in, looked round. babe me pleasant

boxes, said they supposed this was
where they were coming in, and ex-

up with hardships, and rapidly took
possession.

given a conspicuous place Of honor In

This return to favor of millinery

London-Save that old bone; 1t may

This is the thought that flashes
through the mind Of the English house
wife these days following an appeal
made to her to conserve all the old
bones from the kitchen, that they may
be used In the manufacture Of glycer-
in and then incorporated into bombs
and shells for the army in France.
The movement has the approval Of the
minister Of munitions.
The appeal to the housewife says
that bones will produce grease. which
yields giycerin for explosives; glue
for the making of airplanes and bone
meal, fertilizer which increases food
crops and thus aids In the battle

There is q choice this season in the

the possessor of very good figure

by the coat suit which reflects this
place of the style as shown in the pic
