Great Reception.
In the first surprise at again flnd-
ing themselves French, the people Of
Lorraine were unable to express their
emotion. They are now familiar with
the French uniforms and the French
music heard every day since the first
entrance OF Gen. Mangin's army.
The visit OF President Poincare and
representatives OF the French govern
ment meant more than the military
occupation. The people OF Metz
looked on 1t as a sort of official entry
into possession Of the city. They APP
proved OF 1t by the presence of a
vast throng that continually cheered
President Poincare, Premier Glenn
tain and Field Marshal Haig and
General Pershing. who were included
In the official party that assembled
here today. All the bunting in Metz
was flying when the presidential
train pulled into the station a little
after 8 o'clock. The streets were as
crowded as 1t was possible to allow
in view of the space required for the
passage OF the official party.
Streets Banked With Happy People.
The girls OF Metz. wearing their ma
tional costumes, were banked on both
sides OF the street from the station TO
the Esplanade. Behind them were
packed men and women carrying the
French flag and wearing artificial tri-
color bouquets in default OF real
flowers.
Shouts acclaiming the president. the
premier, and the general officers
could be heard from the Esplanade

occasion being a party given by Mr..

ness, a number of those invited were
not able to attend. Thirty-three guests
were present, there being two cars
from Saratoga, one driven by Emmett
johnson and one by Harold Kincaid.
Games and vocal and instrumental
music filled the evening until u 90
o'clock, at which time a fine oyster
supper was served. Everyone took
plenty of time to enjoy this delicious
repast, after which came more games,
more music and much friendly con-
verse. The evening passed all too
soon, and at 3 80 the guests babe the
hosts and hostess a reluctant good
night. All voted the evening a grand
success. A GUEST.

rur wATCHwORD OF THE HOUR
Mayor of Saratoga Tells How You Can
Re 100 Per Cent American With
ont Being i'm the Trenches.

The watchword of the hour is CON
SERVE. Possibly no locality has felt
tbe war pressure so little as our local
valley. We live in a measure to our
selves, producing so per cent of our
local demands for existence and pur-
chasing those things of manufactured
and more highly completed products.
We can help more than appears at
first thought, by merely making n sac
rificc on the certain commodities that
have the high percentage of nutriment.
Those articles are enumerated by the
government and can be had on request.
Those food stuffs in which we are
asked to conserve and sacrifice from
our everyday life are those things that
can be transported in most compact
form, and which will not deteriorate
in the process of transportation. Some
of the most important of these are:
Flour, and other wheat products.
Meats of all kinds, especially pork.
Fats of all kinds.
As citizens of this great nation we
should feel a deep sense of pride in the
fact that we have the quality of men
we have, who are handling our affairs
at headquarters. They urge co-opera-
ton by wire, letters and telephone, and
in so critical n time We must see the
necessity Of self-denial, patience and
our duty as citizens to bear a portion
of the brunt of the war, waged solely
for that grand principle-the rights Of
humanity.
Millions of well-meaning people lover
there are looking to the West for de-
liverance from the rule of %autocracy
and poverty. Today in the cities of
our enemies are thousands of women
and children marching the streets cry
ing, I'VE want peace, and bread, and
will have it." We have thousands of
liberty-loving Americans in France
ready to strike the blows that will en-
able these people to enjoy the liberty
and freedom of speech for which this
land is known. They ask only of us to
give them the food-stuffs and woolens
that sustain life under hazardous con-
ditions. We owe this conservation to
our country and our friends at the
front.
Buy Liberty Bonds when offered you.
Children, buy War Savings Stamps.
Contribute time and money to the
Red Cross.
Deny yourselves those food-stuffs
your country needs.
IF we are not fighting, we are not
worth fighting for"
FRED b. DURRIE, Mayor.

Count Up Your DOrgs.

AT the council meeting last Saturday
evening, the clerk was instructed to
purchase a supply of dog license tags
for decoration of the very numerous ca
Mint population under the direction Of
the city marshal at so much per dog.
Based upon the number of vari- colored
NUTS" always visible about the prin-
cipal street corners, it is estimated that
a strict enforcement of the ordinance
will probably bring in a sum sufficient
to cover he cost of the new chemical
engines. with perhaps enough left over
to purchase an automobile fire truck.
