Wilson formerly Avenue du Trocadero

height along the banks of the Seine and
is so called from one of the forts of Cadiz
captured by the French in 1923. The
avenue stretches from the Palais du Tro-
eadero northeastward to the Place de
Palma.
The palace is huge building erected
just before the universal exhibition of
1873. 1t is in the Oriental style and is
fanked by two minarets each 230 feet
high. 1t contains important museums of
comparative sculpture and of ethnogra-
ply.
On the site was once the garden of a
convent, but for many years it was a
barren waste. Since the 1878 exposition
the slopes have been laid out in charming
terraced gardens, with cascade which
falls from the balcony of the palace
toward the Seine
Beautiful avenues radiate from this
centre, so that the Palace of the Troca-
dcro is seen at the end of splendid vistas.
The Avenue Kleber leads TO the Arc de
Triomphe and the Avenue Malakoff to
the Avenue du Bots de Boulogne.
In front of the palace the Pont d'Iena
crosses the Seine to the Eiffel Tower
This bridge was constructed in 1909 to
commemorate the victory at jena. Butcher
resolved TO destroy it after. the battle of
Waterloo and actually set men to work
upon preparations for blowing it up. In
vain did Count Won der Coli, represent
ing his own King, intercede with him
in the name Of Talleyrand. The rough
Marshal replied in his own hand:
81 have determined to destroy the
bridge and l cannot conceal from your
Exeellency how much pleasure it would
afford me if NJ. Talleyrand would pre-
viously station himself on it."
The bridge would have gone had Well
ington himself not interviewed, pointing
out to Butcher that the act would be
violation of the pledge which guaranteed
he preservation of monuments Of the
French victories until the arrival Of the
allied sovereigns. az = ''f1S 80

l don't know whether / told you about
these Ymca huts before Mama but they
certainly are bare eats and they do lot
of good for us soldiers over here in
Fnnse. OF corse in the big towns and
the ports and places like that they got big
buildings but mostly out in the country
they got either plane wood huts or else
they are long square tents OF doble canvas
and inside it is all fixed up like Ymca
hut back home.
They got tables to write on and piano
and maybe fonograf and then they got
a little counter at one end where boys can
bay Tobacco and chocolate and gum and
things like that, and Of corse they give
away all the writing paper like this I'm
using and then they always got Big piles
Of magasines and papers all free for
nothing.
Then most every night they have free
entertainments of some kind and mostly it
is speeckers telling about why we are at
war and telling lot of yarnes, or maybe
it Is some actor or dancers or fine piano
players or something like that. Then Of
corse they have a lot of pictur shows with
pertty good filums, 50 that a fello has got
somewhere TO go most every night.
Soldiers do a lot of kickin Mama and
every once in a while you here soldiers
kickin about the Ymca just like they kick
about the wether and everything, but they
don't meme nothing by it and if soldiers
was not always kickin they would not be
feelin we'll and it would be bad sine that
they was about to be sick.
So you never want TO pay much atten-
tun to what you here soldiers say when
they are kickin. Well Mama CUES the
show is about reddy to start so | will have

TT is Just as well that the Paris Munic-
i ipal Council in honoring the Ameri-
can President by giving his name to the
thoroughfare heretofore known as the
Avenue du Trocadero did not adopt the
Christian as well as the surname, which is
the French custom. For there is no w

be easily recognizable to foreign ears.

Ambassador in Washington, and his
American wife doubtless took personal
interest in the news of the selection of
this particular avenue to bear the Presl-

Avenue Wilson, as it has now become.
The avenue is barely more than half
mile long, but it is an attractive thorough
fare, in an American neighborhood. In

blocks north of the Place d'Iena, reached
by the Avenue d'Iena, is the Place des
Etats-Unis, where stands a fine bronze
group of Washington and Lafayette by
Bartholdi, who designed the Statue of
Liberty. This was presented by Ameri-
cans in 1896 to commemorate the aid given
America by France In the Revolution.
In the Avenue Wilson also is the Musee
Galliera, an imposing building in the Ital-
ian Renaissance style, containing the
nucleus Of municipal art collection but
now devoted mainly to temporary exhi-
billions of works of applied arts. Lamar

In 1869 in house at 135 Avenue du Tro-

DEAR GERTIE: Well old pal I CUES be-
fore many days you will be reading about
us being in the trenshes and fighting them
yellow hunns and CUES before long they
will have to date the dispatches from
Germany to. And CUES maybe we will
not be glad or nothing like shat when they
turn us lose and tell us to go get them
birds.
Of corse / suppose some people back
home and especially some girls is going to
be worried lot about some solder boys
they are interested in becaus maybe they
would come back without no left leg or
maybe Some of them would not never
come back at all. Well Gertie that is part
of the game and it is why girls should
never do nothing that would worry there
solder boys and especially should never
run around with the wrong kind Of fellos
at home.
OF corse there. is some nice fellos that
no solder would mind his girl being with,
like nice boys who amt strong or man
enuf to pass the fiscal examinations, but
when it comes to fine girl being with
such caracters as Marenes or even some
Blue Jakits then that is what makes SOL
ders in Franse sore And I have herd
lot of us boys over here say them same
things.
But l CUES you would never hear none
of US do any kicking about it or making
any suggestions to our girls. If they
want to run around when q soldiers back is
turned and he is way over here across The
briney deep then go ahed, say we, and we

Big drill fields about mile from this
town and we certainly been steppin on the
gas and lettin her roll. 1 would sure hate
to be them hunns when this draft army
gets started and if they would only let
few draft divisions in the trenshes l cues
we could all be marchin under the Linden
in Berling by Thanksgiving time at the
latest.
But of corse you got to consider that
We are the real President Wilson when it
comes to an outfit and them other draft
divisiony would not be in our elias, but l
CUES that if they would put US in the line
we would show them how soldiers who
didn't put In no elames for exemptun or
nothing like that or didn't hurry up and
join no n. G. outfit just so as they would
get out of the draft, well We would show
them what fghtin is.
Most of our work in training now is
trensh stuff and we got all kinds of spe-
Guilty schols where you lern all this fansy
stuff. OF corse We had all that stuff back
in the states and l cues these officurs
over here musta thot we was playing catch
or tide dey winks since September back
there beeaus We are getting a lot of it
again. But l should get all het up if they
don't want the war to be won right away
and want to drag it along.
This morning we was diggin trenshes
and Barney if I have dug one foot of
them bitches 1 have dug enuf to run
between New York and Kansascity. 1
have dug EN- with spades, shovels, piets,
spoons, mess kits and my fingers. In nine
minutes l can dig trensh big enuf to
berry Fred Fultin and jess Willart to-
gether in and if the war coulda been won
by diggin trenshes it woulda been over in
1915. And here they brung us clean over
here to Franse and put as at diggin fansy
trick trenshes agin. Its just show, Ell
Barney.
Then We do all kinds of stunts here and
have schols for the bombers, and auto
matick rifle men, and grenaders and
hHioChS uioiltI DdtltIts, tlC, ett- l. SUllO
hand it to them Stocks morters because
they are lilies of the del, Barney.
They look like inch gas pipe about
two and half feet long pointed up and
they drop q shell about a foot long in
there and at the bottom of the shell there
is shot gun cartridge: and you drop in
this shell at the mussle and when the shot
gun cartridge hits the pin at the bot
tom of the barrel at goes off and the
charge fires the whsle shell out of the gun.
Well you can watch it 60 thru the air
tumblin one end over the other and when
1t explodes the shell rips apart in about
200 long jagged pcces aud it certainly is
some little hum joy killer. We are all
going to have those things. Then we got
lot of these automatick rifles and ma
chine guns and goodele of our schols is
teaehin how all these things work to-
gether.
Well Barney I CUES if tell you any
more will run fowl of the sensur and /
have run fowl of enough birds without
humping into him. Bone swar,

Billet, Franse Wednesd;,

DhSt, l. ouSS w
DEAR BARNEY: Well old pal who do
you suppose has crost my trale over here
In Franse. Well it is nobody but that
bird Sam who used to be one Of them
newspaper correspondents out at the
camp back home and who wrote me up
in his paper wonst and made me look like
Twas a sucker.
Along back in January that bird left
his paper becaus CUES he was afraid he
was goin to be drafted and he got in the
Straining school for officurs ont at the camp
and hope get shot in the back Barney
if he did not steel a commIsun of a secund
lutenant. And honest old pal that bird
would have hard time to be private.
Fisicaly he amt nothing at all, being
about six and half feet tall and bet
he don't weigh more than 140 pounds with
his winter underware on. About the only
good he would be would be in retreet
and l bet that he could set a pase that
would run every hum to deth.
Well when left the states thot that l
had got rid of this bird Sam but who
should come out to the training field today
and go right in and take charge of the
sectun / was in but this peace of Swis.
And here he was acting as kind Of an
instructor.
AT the time we was practising going
over the top and doing what they call a
baynut corse We would fire five rounds
and then get out of the trensh, run thru
some wire, stab some dummies, jump some
shell holes, clean out a trensh and then
fire some more rounds.
Well we had been doing IT as good as
anybody and was getting aicng fine when
this bird come out-with his yellow secund
lulenant bars all shined up like he was a
genera or something. Right away he
ordered us to do it again for him and this
tim I acciden:ily slipt and fell and some
how the safety on my rifle was not workin
and my rife shot off and even if the bullet
didn't come nearer than foot or two
of the man in front of me this bird come
running up and give me he'll
"You might have killed an oilicur just
as easy rs not" he said.
"Well / CUES that wouldn't make no DIFF
furcnce nohow would it, especially if he
was a secund lutenant," | said. at would
be pertty bad if there was solder killed
becaus soldiers is scarce but they got more
secund lutenants than the sands has sea
shores"
Il guess l will recommend to your cap
tan that you go on K. P. for your impd-
dince," be said. 81 see that you are still
fresh as ever despite you sea trip over
here"
Eyes, the salt in the sea kept me nice
and frcsh,' l said back Then l picked
up my rifle and run on up to where the
rest of the bunch was.
Well when got back to my billet the
sargent told me was down for six days
X. P-six more days kitchenpolice, all
on acct of that bird Sam. But should
worry about little thing like 6 more
days, because if you had buck for every
day l done X. P. since last September
YOU could travel around the world dey
lukey twice and still have enuf dow left
to run up to Niagger Falls and over to
the Jameston Flood.
But Just the same will get even with
this fresh secund utenant and when get
my reveng it will be some sweet to,
Barney. BENNIE.

and take life easy.
But of corse a, far as I am concerned
Gertie you know l was just spooing and
if some of these Frensh danes would
come up 10 me laden with jewels and
with a bank book thicker than the En-
clipetia Britanaka I certainly would give

also don't ware our campagne hats but got
fine little caps now that look something
like our winter caps was, only they are
smaller and lots neeter, and of corse we

A FINE TRIBUTE TO THE
JEWS BY A GOVERNOR.
By A Governor.

~ ~ oONNI I'LL.
The following proclamation has
been issued by Governor Capper of
the State Of Kansas:
"Now that the armistice has been
signed and the battle forces in the
great war are taking the lines desig-
mated in the armistice terms, the cur
tain is being raised and the world
more and more is learning the true
conditions in the countries which
have been overrun by Germany and
her allies. The entent to which
death, starvation and the ruthless
destruction of property have sta1ked
abroad in those stricken countries
is daily becoming more painfully ap-
parent.
Among all the millions who have
suffered at the hands of the oppres-
sor none have been more sorely
tried than the Jews. They have
been driven to starvation, have been
denied sufficient clothing and have
been ground between the upper and
the neither milestone by friend and
foe alike. The Jew has contributed
in most substantial way to the
prosperity and advancement of all
the nations Of the earth, and no race

Mrs Benjamin, "the Hay wins with

Yahrzeit of my beloved husband,
and we'll stay at home"
It was raining hard when the three
disappointed callers left together un-
der the protection Of single UNI
brella, loaned by the hostess.
"Yahrzeit!'' grumbled Nathan,
who as the tallest held the umbrella.
"How the cold, dead hand Of death
interferes with the enjoyment Of the
living. Well, I'll take Mamie Gold
stein to the ball."
"And I'll take my sister," said Ga
briel.
"And I my daughter" murmured
Mr.. Herbst, with a sigh.
AS the trio turned a corner the
policeman standing there remarked
to another policeman, "See how
those Jews huddle together"
The other, a Jew himself, REPLIED:
Eyes but only in times of storm"
The next morning Mrs. Benjamin
informed Mr.. Herbst through Joe
that she was mistaken in the date
Of the Yahrzeit, which happens to
fall on the day preceding the en-
tertainment.
And Rachel? The prospect of get
ting a step-father pleased her SO
much that she felt it no trying task

flag of every nation in the name of
liberty and justice for mankind. In

have given their lives in the cause
for which we fought and those who
remained at home have responded
with fine patriotism and devotion to
every call. Yet today nearly one
half of the race lacks food and shell

1t seems to me most fitting that
as Americans and Kansans we
should hear the call from these
stricken people and contribute of our
means to a fund which will be de-

of Justice which abides in the
hearts of our people and the fine
