AMERICAN ARMY REGINS MARCH TO
 HUN TERRITORY
Enter Enemy Territory With nut Opposition-Entire Army in Long Line, Moves in Col nmrs as in Peace Times.

With the American Army in France Noy General Pershing's forces .oyad forward early today in terri ,ory just abandoned by the German .-oops On the old line between Mou- ,or and Thacourt, lying from the .ocion of Sedan to the south of Metz, tho troops had been stationed to .wsit orders for the advance and at 5.SO o'clock this morning the patrols marched out, not in line of battle, but ;n columns, along the high roads, which are only slightly injured.
 The first steps of the Americans into the regions so lately controlled by Germany were not spectacular. The men were keyed up and keen for the new adventure, but, like they were m the day of the signing of the ar nstice. there were comparatively no iemonstratiye manifestations of their enthusiasm
 Many of the men had been newly uniformed and all of them were pol she'd" as though for inspection. The men appeared eager for the word to go forward
 The relatively small units that are moving forward as advance guards were sent 10 the line before daylight. The night had been cold and the mud that yet marks the roads, notwith- standing there have been two or three days without rain, was slightly rozen. The men shivered as they .ested by the roadside.
 When the command finally was gwen for the advance the elements who were to push forward, in some cases miles apart on the long line oetween the right and left, moved off into the mists that appear always to shroud this part of the country, and Asappeared
 For the first time since the Ameri- cans started to advance into enemy 2eld territory there was assurance nat they would encounter no hostility
 No chances were token, hawever, The engineers were the second units to press forward and they carefully aegan their work of looking out for nlnes and tainted water. Every ob- slace was tested before it was moved, order to ind out if it masked ex- posyes. For some time the Germans nave shown a spirit of cooperation Informing the Americans where nlnes were located and in themselves aeStroymg them.

NO MORE NEED TO SAVE
 FRUIT STONES AND SHELLS

Little Rock, Nov. 1S.-Fortunately for the world there is no further need for everybody to save fruit stones and nut shells, for gas masks have been banished from civilization, let it be hoped, for all time to come. The ma terial which people all over the coun- try had been asked to save, was used to manufacture carbon for the making of gas masks.

COLONEL HAD LAST WORD
Officers Joke Was All Right Until the
Commander Got Tired Of
Hearing It.

A well-known French. colonel had
mania for questioning his officers about
their families invariably starting off
with: "What Is your fathers profess
sion, your mothers, and your sis
ter's7"
Some of the subalterns became so
wearied Of this endless repetition that
they decided among themselves to give
each in turn the following reply:
my father is shoemaker, my moth
er is laundress, and my sister is
very flighty."
On the following Sunday, after the
customary church parade, the colonel,
who had already received the same
answer to his questions from two or
three of the officers, turned to another
and started OFF in the old stereotyped
strain: what is your fathers profess
sion?"
"He is a shoemaker"
"And your mother's7" SS
"She is laundress."
"That viii do" interrupted the
colonel, Il know the rest; your sis.
ter is Eighty and you will consider
yourself confined to barracks until
she behaves betterl"

Merle Sidener, local advertising
man, recently returned from West

of Los Angeles. He was impressed
with the boosting of the Los Angeles
citizens and said he learned that an
Oregon colonel from Portland was the
guest of honor at banquet in Los
Angeles. The usual after-dinner
speeches were made, all boosting the
city of Los Angeles, but each speaker
regretted that Los Angeles had not
been founded ON the coast. The speak
ers all said that had the city been on
the coast instead of ten miles or so
from it, the city would be the garden
spot of the world. The visiting colo.
mel was called on to speak and said:
Gentlemen, am impressed with
your city as much as you are and be.

which you can accomplish your wish

SHE WAS GRATEFUL, ANYWAY
And the Young Ladys Error Was
Quite Natural, Under the
Circumstances.

s Edward Barrett, state geologist, who
lives at Thirty-slxth and Meridian
streets, was on 4 Meridian Heights
car on his way home recently. At
Massachusetts avenue young couple
got on the car. they appeared to be
very attentive aud devoted to each
other. There ware only two vacant
seats on the. car, one at the side of Mr..
Barrett, and the other on the opposite
side of the car. The young woman sat
down In one of the vacant seats and
the young man In the other, but too
far away to talk to the young woman.
The couple looked at each other with
longing eyes. as II they wished to sit
together. The car was rafting along
ut noisy rate, which made 1t impos-
sible for one person to talk to another
any distance away. Mr.. Barrett mo-
toned with his fingers to the young
man, and pointed to the seat he was
occupying, and also to the seat the
young man was occupying, indicating
q change of seats.
The young man gladly accepted the
profered change of seats, and soon
the two were seated together and en-
joying each others talk. The car
stopped at the next crossing and Mr..
Barrett was surprised and amused to
hear the young woman murmur to the
young man, as both looked at Mr.. Bar
rett with thanks in their eyes:

'HElNz's GREAT COLLECTION
Ivory Carvings Owned by Pittsbursher
Are Declared to Be Almost
Priceless.

During many years FL. ]. Heinz Of
Pittsburgh has gathered together one
Of the finest collections of ivory carv-
ings in America. There are probably
a dozen notable collections of this
sort in the country, and among them
the Heinz group of 1900 pieces holds
distinguished rank, says a writer in
Scribner's.

discriminating collector, ivory carv-
ings are perhaps without a peer. Exc
cuted in a material that has always
been costly,StoO rare, as rule, to be
subjected to poor or mediocre work.
manship, they may well be considered
as typical of the artistic development
of the time in which they We're pro-
duced. They represent the art, more
over, not of one people, of one period,
but, it is scarcely an eXaggeration to
say, of all peoples and all periods.
From prehistoric ages down through
the civilizations of Egypt and Assyria
and of classic Greece and Rome have
come priceless examples of sculptured
ivories. The dark ages of Europe, so
meager in artistic treasures, have be-
dueathed us an unbroken chain of
ivory carvings. Much of the most In
teresting of such work must be accred-
tied to the centuries of the Gothic re-
vival, the thirteenth, fourteenth and
fifteenth. The Renaissance and the
centuries succeeding have yielded a
wealth of carved worries of great rich
ness and beauty. From India, China
and Japan come worries of deep his
toric interest and especially in the
work of Japan, of genuine artistic
achievement.
Periods of exceptional turbulence,
such as the fall of Constantinople, the
reformation in England and the French
revolution, have caused the destruction
of Incompatible treasures. That so
much has survived seems cause for
wonder. The explanation lies in the
very nature of the carvings.

Christ or "then Christ.

Protestants do not use the article
before the word Christ, although from
pathological viewpoint this is quite
incorrect. AS everyone knows, Christ
is an adjective in Greek, meaning an
ointed. Now, an adjective cannot be
employed alone without name or an
article. We can, therefore, but say
Jesus Christ, or the Christ. Christ
alone has no meaning whatever. Also,
