Americans Called Peers Of

PARIS, Aug. 3-Once more the Sill
perior generalship of Foch and un-
riyaled fighting qualities OF the French
soldiers and their American, British
and Italian comrades justify the claim
Of the allies to triumph in an indi,-
putable victory over so-caled greatest
military nation OF the world
BY their undeniab.e ictory, the
French have sconlully torn to shreds
the German lie that their armies had
become a negligible quantity Their
triumph is a bitter pill the French
have made the braggart invaders swal-
low in celebration Of the fourth ami
wrSary OF the war.
It's French Victory.
For it must not be overlooked this
victory is essentially French. In their
gratitude 10 their allies, which is real
and sincere, French newspapers have
urcn lliltu WIN glowing tributes 10 lNt
British for the sterling valor they
showed IN the right wing; TO Nmcri-
cans for tin magnificent work they did
in { center where all the world
agrees transatlantic troops have
proved themselves peers OF any
in existence, and 10 the Italians
who have done SpIcndidly on another
part OF the battle front All this per
hsps has tended to obscure the great
outstanding fact that 70 percent OF the
troops who have done this great thing
are purely French France, after four
years OF effort and a sacrifice OF blood
such a no other nation suffered, is still
proudly and nightly standing up The
supreme revelation ot the war Is that
marvellous vitality OF France
Paris Not Overly Joyful.
Outwardly there is little sign of joy

is proudly satisfied But she knows the

GERMANS BURY DEAD
WITHOUT CLOTHING
Permit Only Paper to Be
Wrapped About Bodies to
Be Inferred.

The Germans are expected to strip
their dead before they bury them
Bodies are to be placed into the coffins
without a stitch of clothing. They
may be wrapped In paper, however.
This is the only concession made to
the relatives Of the dead, whose feel
ings are hurt by the order.
Clothing is very scarce In Germany.
Every scrap counts. The government
has no use for sentimentalists who
would squander garments on the dead
while the living are without clothes.
The rules and regulations regarding
burials are not observed strictly
enough by the population of Munich.
says the Neueste Nachrichten. Ac-
cording to report published by the
mayors Office there were 936 men
buried in Prince Albert coats and 1,300
men buried in sack coats during the
year, while 1876 women were buried in
silk and 2,132 In woolen dresses.
In Munich the custom of hiring
women who attend to washing and

women, the official attendants of the
dead, have been ordered by the mayor
to refuse their services wherever they
are asked to put into the coffin a
corpse clothed in anything but paper.
These professional women are held re-
sponsible for the execution of the
edict.
In order to facilitate matters it has
been proposed to inaugurate a new
activity on the part of the state. ALI
the clothing worn by and left by per-
son deceased is to be turned over to
the authorities, who will furnish a
paper costume for the body. Thus no
more of these precious textile mate
rials are to be buried with the dead.

RUNS HER OWN CANTEEN
Woman Reaches Goodies With Pole to
Passing Troops.

Mrs. Scott Lee, an aged negro wom-
an at Ashtabula, o., is happy because
she has found way at last to cheer
the soldiers on their way as they pass
through here en- route from camp to
coast for overseas service.
Mrs. Lee, who lives near railroad
track, looked wistfully at the troop
trains as they sped through, wonder
ing if there was any way in which she
could make the long trip more pleasant
for the men. But the trains went
through so fast she almost despaired
until she finally hit upon scheme
that works to perfection. She got a
long pole, and to it she fastens bundles
of magazines and lunches, and as the
trains whiz past she stands on the
station platform and reaches her gifts
to the men as they lean from the car
windows.

GIRLS ARMED TO Teeth
GUARD FLORIDA COAST
Patrol Was Started Because Of
Many Pro-Germans Scat
tered There.

Silhouetted against a pitch black
sky and cold white stars, human fig
ure on horseback mounted to the crest
of a hill. OFF to the west the sea
swished and tossed, playing a bass to
the forest tenor. Strapped to the sad
die, and within easy reach, was rifle.
The figure pulled night glasses from a
case and looked long and carefully in
Ill directions. The glasses were put
back, and the horse ambled out Of
sight.
Midnight, and many miles away
from the crest where the first figure
was to be seen, second figure on
horseback met the first. Greetings
were exchanged in low, girlish tones.
The first figure yawned, turned the
horse around and went out of sight !;
the second resumed the patrol.
The figures were those of girl scouts
in Florida, who for many months have
been patrolling the Florida coast on
horseback and fully armed. The pa
trolls were first started when 1t was
realized that there were many pro-
Germans in scattered hamlets along
the coast, and was continued with re-
newed vigOr when news of the first
German submarines off the Atlantic
coast was reported.
The many small rivers and inlets
of the Florida coast are patrolled reg
ularly, and many cases have been re-
ported Of men Of known pro-German
tendencies following the girl scouts
and annoying them. They were
promptly put under arrest by the girls
at the point of rifle, and some have
been interned for seditious utterances.
The girls are all between the ages
of fourteen and twenty. and have rem
dered valuable assistance to scout pa
trolls Of the navy In signalling, report
ing suspicious movements of individ-
uals, motOrboats and yachts.
