BADLY NEEDED THOSE CARS
Frenchmen overjoyed at Generous Of

Undoubtedly one Of the most acute
of the early irritations suffered by
our Red Cross was the lack of CONF
petent stenographers who understood
both French and English. One norm
ing the chief of the transportation
bureau had occasion to dictate a lett
ter to his secretary asking tha
French government to give him a.;
thousand numbers for the matricula4
ton of his cars. After the letter had
been turned into French he glanced
through it casually, noted that the figI
ures were correct, took pains to have
1t duly cOuntersigned at American
military headquarters, and sent 1t off!
In due course there arrived at his Of
flee three distinguished French off,
Gals, who smilingly said:
I'VE have come to thank the Ameri-
can Red Cross for the thousand cars
1t has just presented to the French
government. It's very handsome of
you. We're badly In need of cars right
now"
WHAT" gasped the dumfounded
transportation head. We've didn't
give you any thousand cars. We

The visitors produced the letter.

Of The VigIonfes

Baron Won Wurst lighted a large
cigar with an expression of satisfac
ton, stroked his paunch, now, alas
| somewhat thinner than Of yore, and
swung round In his chairsto the heap
Of freshly deciphered messages that lay
on his desk-reports from trusty
agents In various enemy countries.
His little pig-like eyes glinted with
Joy.
Baron Won Wurst was the Hun arch
press-agent, and he was just about to
compose the weekly summary of
"facts" to be scattered broadcast
among the press Of Germany. There
was something in his nature which al
ways made 1t a peculiar pleasure to
perform this task, for it needed much
Imagination, and Imagination was at
low ebb in the Fatherland. More
over, 1t had won for him the coveted
iron cross. He took up the first type

three weeks. Their strength In
France will surely reach two mil
lion before winter. Countless

Baron Won Wurst took the next slip.
II was from a most excellent spy in
France. The master press-agent
scowled as he read:
Meat Is much more plentiful
here. The populace are wildly
elated over recent allied victories.
The troops all seem supremacy
confident Of ultimate success.
Ready, Schmidt" The baron
puckered his brows, and continued to
scowl for a moment. Then, with In
spiration, came a grim smile. He die
tated:

Mutinies in the French army are
now a daily recurrence, for those
soldiers know, in spite Of the lies
thrust upon them, that every

might is triumphant.
The baron, who had lunched with
a friend off a substitute sausage, grim
aced as he read another message from
