2,OOO AMERICAN GIRLS IN
 WAR DUTY
(By United rPess)

WASHINGTON, D. C., Jan. 14.- There are now more than two thous- and American girls on active Red Cross nurse service in France, it was learned at National headquarters here today.
 Cables have just been received tell ing of one extraordinary branch of their work at the military hospitals behind the front and elsewhere throughout the land of the tricolor.
 Their working day is eighteen hours. When the hospital train arrive they are kept busy tending the wounded. Between times however, they have brief half hours, during which they tend the-war gardens.
 War gardens are as much a part of the French military hospital rou- tine as the patients themselves. Tho nurses and convalescing patients have a lot of fun growing things.
 Surrounding the hospital at Hericv is garden of more than six acres where potatoes, haricot beans, "topin. ambOurs" and wheat are being raised
 Marshal Joffre, who had occasion to visit this garden was much pleased with the efforts of the Red Cross nurses and addressed many words of praise and encouragement to the york CTS for their enterprise, who also received from the inspection commit tee the first prize for products of this kind. To the chief of the cultivstors was given silver medal and the ad- ministrator received a gold one.
 At evreux there is a garden of more than an acre of land under cultivation producing mainly potatoes with a few other varieties of vegetables. The garden work is said to be a very bene- ficial and enjoyable form of n echano- therapeutics for limbering up the muscles of the patients At the same time, it lessens the expenses of the establishments by providing vege- tables for home consumption. The commission awarded this hospital a bronze medal and a prize of fifty francs.

GODMOTHER IDEA FAILS
 TO GET APPROVAL

The securing of American godmoth- CTS for U. s. soldiers at the front is another activity that is causing no lit. tie embarrassment to the officials at Washington
 The idea of the godmother pledg- ing herself to carry on correspondence and send packages of comfort to an American soldier abroad has failed to obtain the approval of the war depart ment, and the Red Cross is unable to handle packages consigned to desig. mated individuals.
 For this reasos chapters are asked to discourage any attempt to organize in this direction, since the Red Cross cannot endorse the idea of accepting such activities as auxiliaries

Reuival of "Richelieu''
Recalls Its History

Though no one, so far as known. has
come forth with the claim that the
publicity methods Of the modern press
agent were invented by the Chinese
centuries before the dawn of civiliza-
ton, still they are Of greater antiquity
than P. T. Barnum, according 60 Rob-
ert B. Mantell
The methods date back at least to
"Richclieu," presented at Covent Gar
den for the first time on the night of
March 7. 1889.
"Richelieu" was exploited in London
before its first performance, much in
the fashion Of "Chantecler" in Paris a
few years ago. Bulwer, like Rostand.
was the darling of both the literary
world and society. "Richeleu," like
"Chanticler," was announced long be-
fore its completion, and possibly even
before the author had set pen to paper.
Then, after it was finished. Bulwer's
play, like Rostand's. was withheld until
the mind of the playgoing public had
been worked to a fever heat Of ex-
pectancy.

ment came Coysnt g rdsa WAN crowded d

Another Soldier Show
In Preparation

Another soldier show Is coming to
New York. The boys at Camp Mer-
ritt will produce "Good Luck Sam" at
the Lexington Theatre for two weeks
beginning Monday, November 25,
through the courtesy and cooperation
of Major G. Gunner and Lieutenant
Colonel j. Fawcett. Several hundred
soldiers have been rehearsing for the
past few weeks on what promises to
be the biggest Of all soldier shows.
The purpose is to build home at
Camp Merritt where the mothers,
wives and sweethearts of the men can
meet those who are about to 60
over. Camp Merritt is the embarka-
tion point and thousands of men are
stationed there for time before they
embark. The necessity, therefore, for
such place is greater at this camp
than it is at the average camp. No
less a person than George M. Cohan
will personally direct the entire pro-
duction. The book is the work Of
Sergeant Edward Anthony, who has been
a contributor to several Of the New
York dailies. and the music is by Ser
geant Louis Merrill. Mr.. Cohan will
have as his assistants, Frank Leo
Short, Michael Ring and Private Will
lam H. Smith, to whom much of the
credit for "Yip Zip Yaphank" is due.

had. I had seen young persons in
real life who had modelled themselves
on ingenue.
"Of course" said Mitzi. "it isn't
easy to be natural. They say to an
actress. why can't you just be natural: 9
but that means eternal watchfulness.
Every once in while when I am tired
And myself speaking off lines with
out much thinking what they mean, and
smiling sweetly-and then l give my
SELF shake to wake myself up, and
make an extra face to prove to myself
that am not afraid of looking funny"
Some one came in to tell Mitzi that
she would just have time to dress be-
fore dinner at 4:30. "Dinner at 4:3O?"
I exclaimed involuntarily.
Eyes, breakfast at II and lunch at
1 and dinner at 4:So-and don't want
any Of them. Then nothing to eat
until after the show. and then may
not eat because 1t is time to go to bed.
