WHITE ROSE" SIGN
 AGAIN HANGS OUT
 IN FRENCH VILLAGE
Unusual Story of Purposes This Estaminet Has Served Since the
 War Began

Behind British Lines in France. May 1s-fCorrespondenc of the Associated Press. .)-Before the war the "Estam- met of the White Rose" a typlcal French villege cafe, looked out over broad fields and peaceful country side Today all that remains of 1t IS the old signboard, splintered and bol- let-marked, which hangs over the en- trance of the new Y. M. c. A hut on the site of the old village cafe.
 The White Rose, in peace time, was the meeting place every evnlng or tn French farmers, men with heavy boots and tanned. skins, who came in for drink and a smoke, served smilingly by the old patronne's daughter. otten the men sang quaint songs in their harsh voices and the rafters shook with prodigious laughter.
 Then came the war, and the men carried their quaint songs far away south to the Ardennes. Other men, strangers. sat at the wooden tables n the uniform of the British army They too had tanned skins and heavy boots, and sang strange songs loudly. They called the patronne Mother and joked with her, winning her affec- tion.
 The Germans were advancing and one evening their guns were heard The inhabitants of the village gathered their belongings and left their homes. The last to leave were the old inn keeper and her daughter.
 The German advance wavered and broke before the British counter at tack, but the German guns had done their work 1t was a sad wreck, that "Estaminet of the White Rose,' window deep in debris that looked out over fields scared with shell holes and muddy wastes on every side. But the men in khaki were still there. sing ing their songs as if nothing had hap pened Shells continued to drop into the town. the orchards were ruined, the church spire leaned perilously, and in front of the village ran trenches with masses of barbed wire. In what remained of the little inn. staff officers worked by candle light. protected by sandbags which darkened the house.
 One day a prolonged and violent bombardment demolished nearly all that remained of the village, and the Germans attacked. Hardly one stone was left standing on another, and only the cellar of the estaminet remained after a period of bitter fighting in and out of the village. A crater yawned in the main street in front of the inn, but a company officer worked in the cellar and in the evenings there were still songs. The fighting went on; sometimes one side gave a little ground. sometimes the other, but all though the cellar underwent many changes. it never fell into German hands
 A few weeks ago. there was q 'istraishtening" of the British line:

 AFTER WAR TRADE
Movement to Require Every Nation to Stamp Each Article Where It Is
 Manufactured

Washington, June 15.-While the al- lies are engaged in the struggle with German aItocracT, the problem of meeting industrial aggression after the war also is receiving attention.
 France is debating regulations to compel registration of nationality by manufacturers and trades people, so that the nation which has borne the brunt of the German assault may not unwittingiy send gold to provide fcnds for another war Italy has issued a decree requiring declarations of na- tionality. Others of the allied coun- tries are discussing similar measures, despite opposition in some official quarters 10 anything savoring of an Economic war after the war"

and at this point the line moved for ward. An ambulance aid-post took over the cellar. the wounded were brought in on stretchers and attended to by candle light. Then the sound of the guns moved farther away. and an engineers dump was established in the village, The cellar was filled with coils of wire and men working on machinery of various kinds, and the men sang as they worked
 Finally the engineers moved eisc- where and party of men came up and started building strange new house above the old cellar. It was one of the Ilrst Of the new advance sta ions of the Y. M c.

Life to the United States. Soon after the Emperor of Germany's journey to Constantinople and the Holy Land, nearly twenty years ago, the whole French nation was convulsed over an issue of Le Rire which purported to reveal the private travel notes of the Kaiser on what he termed his divine mission. The explanations upon the title page of Le Rtre. as originally published, were as foliMws:
 Tour of William the II-15 Days in Turkey. Palestine. Jerusalem and the Holy Land. -
 .In view of the demand of the itiner- ary only a single performance will be given in each locality
 soldiers will be admitted for half price
 "Ths number is prohibited in Ger many"
 As France and Germany were at this time theoretically at peace a mild att tempt was made by the French govern ment to suppress the issue, but every one secured a copy and the laugh was general at the kaiser's expense. The witty author wrote with prophetic vision He might well have written yesterday.

 THE LITTLE FLAG ON MAIN
 STREET" By MeLand dburgh Wilson. The Macmi- Ian company, publishers 64 Fifth ave- nue, New York city.
 ''The Little Flag on Main Street. is the title of very charming collection of verses by McLandburgh Wilson. The volume is a book of rhymes espe- cially intended for the boys lat the front and for his home folks whom he has left behind.
 The book of verses appeals to every body, and there is a deliciously con tagious swing to the lines and a con tagious patriotism in it's spirit which IS refreshing and appealing. The following verses suggest the rhym- ing, swinging measure of the others: THE LITTLE FLAG ON MAIN
 STREET.' The little flag on Main Street
 Is floating all the day, It's stars are fairly sparkling,
 It's stripes are glad and gay It stops the passing zephyrs
 To tell them as they dance; T have a battle brother
 Who flies today in France" The little flag on Main Street Is streaming all the night, It halls the wheeling planets
 Upon their glowing flight. It tells the joyful tidings And calls to all it's kin: "I have a battle brother
 Who marches to Berlin!

Sandbags on Warships

From the Popular Science Monthly.
 The use of sandbags or wicker bas- kets filled with sand as a protection against hostile projectiles in warfare is by no means new. but the present war has probably seen the most exten- sive use ever known of this means of defense Against the enormous force of the modern explosives neither steel nor concrete offers adequate protec- tion It was found that earth or sand, either in a loose state or in bags, formed a more efficient protection against shells, shrapnel or the pro- jectiles of small arms or machine guns than barricades of other material.

Sunday school at 10 expected France for some time after the war ends will be dependent upon imports, because the most important industrial districts have been de- vastated by the invaders and in order to prevent unwilling buying of enemy goods three measures have been sug- gested as follows:
 l. To establish a personal register.
 2 To establish a trade register.
 3. To demand the national mark put on all goods imported into France.
 With regard to the personal register it is the intention to make one for each community. containing the names and ad- dresses of all the inhabitants, their birthplaces and the names of their par ents. All storekeepers shall hang in their shops sign plainly stating their nationality. On the basis of this personal register, trade register shall be kept, as in Italy. Spain, Sweden, Norway, Den- mark, Switzerland, Hungary and Ger many.
 There is no intention of boycotting Ger man goods. Economists have pointed out that such a step would be senseless thing to do and the intention in France is only to control the German imports and keep them within bounds so they will do no harm. To that end the French syndicates have suggested that it be made obligatory for all imports to bear the national trademark of the country of origin
