This is no time to indulge in espti-
Gus criticism Of mea in s1thosity, but
at the same time If inefficieney in
high places is standing in tie way Of
this country winning the var, then The
criticism cannot come too soon nor be
made too strong. The health. the
safety and the lives of the brave boys
who are going out to fight for the
flag are of far more moment than the
tender sensibilities of some brass col
lar in Washington, whose muddling
and fuddling may imperil the very
safety Of the nation. The recent in
vestigations in Washington point very
strongly to the theory that one Of the
greatest drawbacks to the immediate
prosecution of the war is to be found
in the highest positions. II such il
proven to be the case, then there
ought to be . clearing out, no matter
who is disconnected from his job

Between Air Raids.

This Is thrilling and true story of
two women who kept 'posto di con-
forto" at Treviso, Italy, for travelling
sick and wounded soldiers:
Having done some very good ter
rorizing by the six o'clock raids, the
Huns kept them up. 1t was such a
pestiferous nuisance, because we were
always in the middle of cooking the
evening meal! With your soldier cook
and servant safe down in the cellar,
it becomes your pleasing duty to run
out between raids to stir the soup or
put another stick of wood on the fire.
With shrapnel falling all around, it
Is not altogether wise to go with I'M
covered head. We had given our two
helmets to American ambulance driv-
ers and were without any, so / was
obliged to wear a granite saucepan on
my head for these stirring parties. 1t
was not our custom to go into a refuge.
We claimed to those who expostulated
that during the raids was when we
were the most needed.-Red Cross

His Drastic Action.

'It seems to me that motorists pass.
ing through here are extremely reck-
less in their driving" said the hyper
critical guest. Don't the authorities
try to do anything to stop their speed
ing through town."
"Well," responded the landlord OF
the Petunia tavern, Constable Slack
putter didn't do much till one joy rider
ran smack over him and went racing
off to the westward. But then, you
betcha, he crawled to a telephone,
called up the captain Of the home
guards at Wayoverbehind, and ordered
him to get his company out and take
the nefarious cuss dead or alive. The
captain didn't do it, but it just showed
how awake to his duty Slack had sud-
denly become. Any time you run over

ton and reaction out Of him."-Kan-

YANKS DISLIKE FRENCH CASH
Call Greenbacks "ReaI Money"-com.
plain That Francs Slip Through
Fingers.

Forgetting how to figure in regular
money" and learning how to calculate
in "this doggon stuff is one of the
first worries of the American soldiers
in France, says New York Evening
Sun.
Regular money" is good old dol
lars and cents, nickels, dimes and quar-
tiers.
'"rhis doggon stuff" is the name ap-
piled to French francs, usually paper
money, often as low as single francs,
or 20 cents, for most small cities have
issued local small change currency.
The Americans do not like French
paper money. They say it is trash,
and tears, and is hard to count.
On the other hand, the French are
shocked when an American crumples
French paper up and shoves it in his
pocket the "way they do back home"
French money is to be handled in big
pocketbooks and not crumpled.
Look at some real money once" a
doughboy told merchant, and flashed
bright new silver certificate. When
he crumpled it up in his fist to show
how real money can be used" the
Frenchman alIaOSt tainted.
The Americans are paid almost en-
tirely in French money and they are
getting used to francs, though they all
agree "a francs so small it slips
through your fingers like water"
