YANKs HATE TO. TOTE BREAD
Take Chances of Going Hungry in
France Rather Than Garry Loaf
With Them.

Somewhere in France-American
soldiers and sailors sometimes find it
difficult when on leave to get all the
bread they want in French cities.
Bread is issued by card, one ticket be-
ing good for 100 grammes There are
three tickets for each day. The Amer
ican government feeds it's own men,
and unless soldier is detached, or on
some special duty where he cannot
reach his own mess, no provision is
made for his eating outside his own
quarters, and he does not get French
bread tickets.
When soldiers are on leave from
camp or sailors get shore leave they
are reminded to take along a loaf of
Yankee bread so they will have some
when they go into French restaurant.
But few do this. They don't want to
be encountered all day long with loaf
of bread under their arm They are
willing to take chance on getting in
to a restaurant where they can get
bread, or, if the worst comes, go with
out

WOMAN DRIVES TRUCK
Makes Better Time on Long
Trip Than Man.
Machine WerHs'a Little Hard So She
Takes 1t Apart and
Fixes 1t.
BY ELoIsE ROBINSON.

Paris.-The lieutenant looked wor-
ried and little apologetic
Il don't like to ask it. 1 know that
isn't what the Y. NJ. c. A. is for, But
e it is possible"
'How about it, Miss Cow? You're
the one to say" The divisional secre-
tary turned to the woman in the mo-
tor transport uniform.
''Why certainly, lieutenant. If you're
not afraid to trust me. I've never
driven Fiat truck, or any car as
heavy as that, and you're taking risk.
'I'n take it !" The lieutenant's
flown disappeared. "Gosh, that sets
ray mind at rest! If I sent the only
man I have down to Paris for the
truck he would be month getting
back with it, and goodness only knows
what condition it would be in when it
got here. But I'll rest easy if you
undertake it. If you can get back
inside Of two weeks I wish you'd do
it."
So Miss Ella Cow, a Scottish wom-
an serving with the American Y. M.
G. A, who, by the way, has been deco
rated for distinguished service to the
Serbian government-went to Paris
and brought back the truck. She isn't
very big herself, and everybody said
she couldn't do it. They didn't know
her.
She came driving up the hill into
v in just week from the time she
had left, and one day and night of
that time had been spent on the train
getting to Paris.
'She works little hard, lieutenant" !"
Miss Cow told the officer. "You have
to shove her. clear through to fourth
and then bring her back to where you
want her."
The lieutenant tried to shove her,
He couldn't. He pushed and painted
and became red in the face and used
bad words. But nothing worked.
''She's beast" Miss Cow admitted.
"You have to get on to her. But I think
I can make her ali right if you don't
mind my taking her apart"
''Do anything you want" growled
the lieutenant.
So Miss Cow took her apart, and
now the lieutenant can drive her.

IS GUEST OF PRINCE
American Engineer Takes Lunch,
Seated on Throne.
Private in Pacific Coast Regiment Has
Remarkable Experience in
Monaco.

Somewhere in France.-Sitting on
a real rulers throne was the unusual
experience of an American private SOL
dier-William Williamson, a member
of a Pacific coast engineer regiment
during his recent seven-day furlough.
The throne was that of the prince OF
Monaco.
Williamson elected to spend his va
cation on the shores of the Mediter.
ranean. After visiting Marseilles,
Nice and other southern France re-
sorts, he went to Monte Carlo. Find
ing the gaming table denied to SOL
diers in uniform he went to view the
palace. Swiss guards at the gate re-
fused to- allow him to enter.
J.. Later, at cafe he got to talking
with a Monacoan who spoke good
English and proved to have an ac.
quaintance with millionaire American
yachtsmen. Williamson told him of
his futile attempt to enter the palace.
The Monacoan offered to introduce
him at the door and show him through
the palace. He had no trouble in get
ting in this, time. Arriving at the
throne chamber the "simple soldat
American" was almost overcome
with the splendor of the room. He
received another shock when his host
invited him to mount the throne. Aft.
er he had become comfortably seated
luncheon was served.

chair to the manS times he had stood
at the tail end of line of 250 men
with mess kit to get his share of ba-

by the French when the Germans
made their late spring drive, were
used as shields behind which German
machine gunners opposed the Ameri-

and Scissors, according to Corp. Royal
Thurver of Reedsburg, Wis.
'They got behind these old up

crossed the Vesle," said Thurver.
"But, of course, it was only ques-
ton of time until we worked our way
around them and then the German
machine gunners decided they were
through with the war. They invaria-
bly, surrendered"
Thurver was shot in the chest and
arm from machine gun behind one
of the tanks.

S.-StenographerS may win the
war. At least the last battle of the
Marine which turned the tide against
Germany was won by stenographers,
reasoning along the same lines as were
made famous by the celebrated reci-
tai to the effect that ''a throne was lost
all for the lack of horseshoe nail.'
For if the French say the American
soldiers saved Paris, and the Ameri-
can soldiers say the big war welfare
organizations saved them with hot
chocolate and other supplies when the
commissary couldn't keep up with the
moving troops, the welfare organiza-
tiOns have said more than once that
the girl clerical workers have more
than once saved the situation.

Seventy-five "Y" women are in en-
tertainment work, from the ports to
the trenches. Many have performed I'M

going ankle-deep in mud and rain to
entertain the soldiers. Four hundred

comment on the work done by the
American Red Cross for our boys:
'"These are the things which count.
The American Red Cross is to be con-
graduated on the way in which it is
looking after our boys. 1t is doing
fine work"
Following his return from France,
Secretary Baker wrote this note to
the American Red Cross in London:
81 left London so shortly after my
drive to Winchester that I had no
early opportunity to thank you for
the courtesy of the touring car which
you placed at my disposal for the trip.
On this trip TO Europe have received
fresh and noteworthy evidence of the
astonishing efficiency of the American
Red Cross operations in France and
England. | have been delighted to see
how much the American Red Cross
has done to weld hearts of the allied

WHAT WOMEN ARE DOING
FOR SOLDIERS In FRANCE
Fight in the Ranks of the Red Cross Against
Pain, Disease and Death.

They have known very well the risks
they were taking-the two thousand
and more women who have gone to
France for varied services under the
American Red Cross, and the. more
than nine thousand nurses whom the
American Red Cross has assigned to
foreign duty under the United States
Army and Navy Nurse Corps.
They went under orders, as soldiers
do; prepared for any emergencies, as
soldiers do; they assumed many
strange and unforeseen tasks, as SOL
diers do. Literally, they went as
fighters, against pain, disease and
death.

perhaps, the first time we hear them.
But see such an unit follow an army

On the night of March 25th, when
the Germans were fast advancing, and
already within six kilometers of
Annel, an outpost of Compiegne, two
American doctors remained, who I'M
der order of the French government,
had sent the patients and personnel
of their hospital farther back the
night before. The artillery was deaf

sections kept bringing their wounded

city had been taken until all the
stretchers brought Austrian wounded,
and Austrian doctors came to their
relief.
Several hundred women are work
ing over there in the American Red
Cross canteens. There are about two
hundred of these canteens along the
French and American lines of COM
municatiOn, and the women are work
ing under great pressure, feeding
thousands of soldiers. The Red Cross
Is also establishing canteens by mill
tary request at a number Of Aviation
Camps. American women conduct
these stations, comprising canteen and
club and reading room. Everyone Of
these canteens has something of the
genius of home about it; and it is
because of this, no less than the ia
cilities for cleanliness and rest and
refreshment, that the French govern
ment has given the responsibility for
maintaining canteens for both armies
to the hands of the American Red Cross.
In large numbers women are going
abroad as hospital hut workers, also,
and as social workers for trained
service among the refugees and the
repatriated. AT each base hospital the
Red Cross is equipping, as fast as they
can be built, recreation huts for con-
valescent soldiers.
Clerical workers have steadily in
creased in number for the admins
trative Offices. From that original
group of eighteen, which as the first
American Red Cross Commission to
France sailed about June LIST, 1917,

AMERICANS FIGHT
GERMS IN ITALY
tuberculosis Experts Sent by
Red Cross will Use Lat
est Methods.

Included in the unit of medical and
lay workers which the American Red
Cross has sent to Italy are a number
Of the leading anti-tubercuosis work
ers of the country, sponsored by the
National tuberculosis Association.
Or, William Charles White, who heads
the unit, is medical director of the
tuberculosis League of Pittsburgh,
and Dr. Robert H. Bishop, the assist
ant director, is secretary of the Anti
tuberculosis League of Cleveland as
well as health commissioner of that
city. DIR. John II. LOwman of Cleye-
land, a former president of the Ma
tonal Association, is another promi-
nent member of the unit. Others are
DR.. Robert G. Patterson, secretary of
the Ohio tuberculosis Association;
Seymour II. Stone, until recently sec
rotary of the Massachusetts Anti-Tu-
berculosis League; DR.. Gertrude Stur-
gis, secretary of the New York City
Association of tuberculosis Clinics,
and n A, Nelson, superintendent of the
Cincinnati Anti-Tuberculosis League.
These men and women, at the re-
quest of the Italian government will
cooperate with that country in apply
ing the latest approved American
methods for combating the spread of
tuberculosis. Some of them will be
charged with the establishment of
clinics where people of all ages may
be examined and treated; others will
devote their attention particularly to
preventing tuberculosis among chill
dren, and a third group will develop
health publicity and education.
1t is to the credit of the anti-tuber-
culosls campaign In America that it
has produced specialists of such inter-
national standing that Italy wishes to
call them into her service temporarily.
But the campaign will be continued
unremittingly here at home. Its sup
port during the ensuing year will be
derived not as heretofore from the
sale of Red Cross Christmas Seals, but
by special appropriation made by the
Red Cross to the National Tuberculo-
sis Association. tuberculosis workers
on their side will line up with the Red
Cross In its Christmas Roll Call for
universal membership.
