Before the war the "Ligue de
Football Association" composed OF
twelve clubs played weekly games
whicl. were attended by numerous
enthusiasts OF the sport but with The
mobilization most of the athletes
joined the army and during the first
few months Of the war they had
more serious business. However. in
1915, with the armies settled down
to trench warfare and owing to the
close contact with the British troops,
which lost no opportunity of enjoy
ing their favorite pastime, football
received an impetus hitherto I'M
known in France.
The British government has order
ed 100000 footballs for it's troops
in France, delivery to be made with
in the next six months. Some Of
them have already reached France
A new experiment in footballs has
been made. Owing to the scarcity Of
leather, the covers are made of
heavy canvas which has been given
chemical treatment. The new foot
ball gives satisfaction. the ball often
being in better condition at the con-
clusion of the game than a leather
covered ball would have been il it
were subjected to the same usage.
1t seems to be the ambition of the
young Frenchman to become a
champion football player just as it
was the dream of every American
youth to develop into a baseball star.

Huns Compel Girls
in A1sdce-Lorraine
to Dig Trenche

With the French Armies, April 2.
The latest grip Of Germany's iron
hand on Alsace- Lorraine is to force
the women and girls, who still re-
main there. to abandon their homes
and perform manual labor in the
war zone. Tit system of deportation
and virtual slavery is the same as
that inaugurated by Won Kissing in
Belgium and northern France.
According to letters which have
just reached France from the two
stricken provinces many of these
women and girls are now obliged to
dig both trenches and tunnels.
Despite the rigid surveillance
which the Germans exercise over the
inhabitants of Alsace-Loraine, the
latter still find means of getting let
ters into France, usually by way Of
Switzerland, which give vivid il
somewhat heart-rending descriptions
of the regime which the Germans are
now imposing there.
Young Girls Dig Trenches.
One of these letters from Essy les
Nancy and which succeeded in get
ting through to Oucy in switzer-
land, reads:
''In certain villages the young
girls are employed in digging
trenches and tunnels until we are
forced to wonder how these unfor-
tunate ones can keep up their
strength"
Still another letter which got
through to Epinal, deals more at
length with the manner in which the
Germans are practically enslaving
the girls and women of Alsace-Lor-
raine: This letter reads:
In Alsace, the boches have in
augurated the deportation of num-
arous womer and young girls into
the military zone on the French
front where they are forced to work.
The newspapers do not speak about
this, but merely reprint the response
given by tn" German government to
Deputy Hauss The government stat
ed that the female personnel there
are only per cent of the young
girls who are under II years of age.
Among these there are some who
volunteered. Quite naturally, be-
cause many factories are closed. and
in order not to starve to death one
is forced to accept whatever pre-
sents itself, to say nothing of the
other means of persuasion that the
boches have at their disposal.
French Property Foreclosed.
The government continued its
reply by saying that all young girls
under II are now to be sent back to
their families: first those that are
now working against their will, and
later all the rest. as fast as circum-
stances will permit.
'fIt has now been decided to grant
leaves of absence to soldiers from
Alsace-Lorraine the same as to 9TH

THE foreclosure of French prop
critics continues on every hand. The

bourg. belonging to the des Bus

tax commission of the municipal
council of Paris has proposed the
levying of municipal war tax run

equivalent OF 5000 a year would pay
the equivalent of $3.50 tax. A
