Mons-7The open warfare which
was conducted by the allied forces in
Flanders over long stretches of inhab-
tied territory along the northern bait
tlefront produced strange situations
which were far reach from the trench
fighting. which marked the greater
part of the war.
The correspondent was motoring
along the highway leading to the re-
Gently freed city of Denain when q
French officer beside the road asked
Tor a ride. AS soon as the car started
he leaned out and began to inspect the
surroundings eagerly. Occasionally he
would wave to civilians and shout
greetings.
Asked If he lived in the vicinity, the
officer said that his home was in De-
main, where four years ago he left his
wife TO join the colors. Just after his
departure his first child, a daughter,
was born Then came the German oc-
cupation, cutting off his loved ones.
Now he was going back after these
long years to his wife and the baby he
had never seen.
He was visibly wrought up to the
highest pitch, as well he might be. 1t
was quite possible he might find his
family dead or gone and his home In
ruins.
Entering the city the officer directed
the correspondent toward his home,
through streets showing the cruel
marks of the invaders hate. Turning
into his street, the first house was in
ruins. He gave a nervous start, but
said nothing. A few doors farther on
was his home, and the car stopped
across the street from it. The officer
climbed out slowly and with an effort,
his eyes fixed on the place
Afraid of Her Father.
There were no signs of life. The
windows were shattered and on the
door was sign showing that German
officers had been living there. Crossing
the street, the officer pulled the bell
with shaking hand. No one answered.
He backed away like man In a trance
and leaned against the car, trembling
Suddenly the door opened and an
aged woman servant appeared in an
swer to the bell. She was leading by
the hand beautiful baby girl with
wealth of golden curls. The officer
took one step toward the child and
then halted. He was a stranger to his
own flesh and blood.
The child hid behind the skirts Of
the nurse, peering out in fright. On

French Afraid of Ice Cream

Paris.-Ice cream is a new dish
to the inhabitants Of France.
Some of the big city jewellers may
have had a passing acquaintance with
it, but the rural folk and those In the
villages saw their first ice cream made
in the American army camps.
Many Of the permanent American
camps in the service of supplies have
made ice cream a regular feature, the
regimental canteens turning out the
frozen delicacy for several hundred
men.
The Introduction of ice cream to
the French peasant children has been
productive of much amusement to the
American troops. The youngsters think
it is hot.
One of the men of an engineer regi-
ment took mess kit full of ice crc1m
to q French farmhouse. One of the
small boys took big teaspoonful. A
look of panied amazement came over
his face, and, emptying his mouth of
the frozen cream, he ran screaming
to the protection of his mothers
skirts crying: "Chaud! Chaud -

FEAR ENEMY POISON PLOT
War Scare in Public School at
Oyster Bay.

Oyster Bay. L. 1.-The discovery
that they were made in Germany
caused B. E. Whitaker, principal of
the public school. to order pupils to
throw away booklets which had been
given to them by stranger. Samples
are to be analysed. as it is believed
the booklets may secrete germs of dis
ease.
Several days ago a stranger came
here and gave the booklets to many
school boys and girls. He said the
booklets had pictures of prominent
men which would appear by rubbing
the scrapings OF pencil on a page
with the finger.
Mr.. Whitaker got one of them, and
discovered on the last page the words,

cream was some sort of a white fire
and they would have nothing to do
with 1t. The mother had to eat virtu-
ally all of the cream in order to in
duce them that it was cold rather
than hot and that when not taken too
fast was good to eat. Eventually, the
children ate the last of the dish. But
they partook of it gingerly. evidently
greatly mystified that anything which
first seemed hot then cold could be
good to eat.
But in time the kids got to liking
ice cream and they became as great
nuisance around the camps asking for
ice cream as they had been before
in seeking chewing gum.

Illustrated in some notes from these
county reporters. One man gives an
average of Is miles as the longest dis
lance for any considerable number of
farmers, but explains that the haul is
to the Cumberland river, which, in his
county, is navigable only five months
of the year; for the other seven
months the haul is 40 miles to a rail-
road. In Mathews county, Va, few
trucks are used; but, since the county
is indented by several navigable wa
terways, motor boats and sail boats
are used by the farmers to a consid-
cradle extent. One reporter in west
ern Oregon says that neither roads nor
automobiles are to be found within
20 miles of his home; produce is car
ried on pack mules. over difficult trails,

ties in the United States, is often post
