WHEN ALSACE COMES BACK
Of strassburg Gets Request
of S641.43.

Philadelphia.-The minister of war
in Paris has S641.43 from the estate
of a patriotic Philadelphia Frenchman,
who died 20 years ago, TO be paid TO
the first French soldier who plants the
French flag on the walls of the city Of
StraSsburg. Alsace.
This bequest was made by Jacques
c. Aschbacher, who was contractor
and also secretary OF the French AS
sociation Of Philadelphia. He died in
July, 1898. and in his will now on file
at the city hall. he directed that $500
be given to the first French soldier
who carried out the feat In Che next
war.
The money was turned over the
French minister OF war and now
amounts to over 5000 by reason of the
accumulat,ye interest.

MONEY BURNS POCKETS
Yankee Soldiers Astound French
by Their Spending.
Buy Everything In Sight and Overlook
Eothing-Souvenirs Are Sent
Home.

Paris.-No wonder that American
soldiers astound the French with their
money-spending proclivlty. Shops
stocked sufficiently In the ordinary
course of events to last six months
are frequently cleaned out in a day
when the Yankees arrive. The Amer
leans just simply buy everything in
sight.
A bunch Of troops just arriving from
the loug journey overseas, or perhaps
having been shunted around a month
or so after landing, reach permanent
camp and are paid off. Frequently
they haven't had a pay day in two or
three months.
Then with their pockets full OF the
strange francs they go to town and
make up for lost time. They overlook
nothing from a Swiss watch to an arm
full Of souvenirs to send back home.
But with all the spending and buy
ing It is remarkable that there are so
few cases of drunkenness. The wine
shops are open to the Americans at
certain hours, generally from 5 80 to
$50 p. m. But the average American
does not like French wine, at least
not at first. French beer has fiat,
weak taste which does not appeal at
all to Americans. There Is no whls-
ky, and even were it available the
Americans would not be allowed to
purchase it. Cognac Is the nearest APP
preach to whisky and this must be
obtained by stealth-sort of a boot
Logging process.
Many thousands of American sol.
diers, Disguised with the light wines
and beers which only' they may pro-
cure, have foresworn booze entirely,
gone on the water wagon" for keeps
and VIII be In good trim for the ma
tion-wide prohibition they will face
when they return to the United States.

NOT DRAMA, BUT
THE REAL THING
Mars Stages Strange Situations
Produced by Open Fighting
at Front.
REUNION IN FRENCH HOME
Officer Returns After Four Years OF
Hun Occupation TO Wife and TO
Little Girl He Has Never
Seen.

Mons.-The open warfare which
was conducted by the allied forces in
Flanders over long stretches of inhab-
tied territory along the northern bat
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
French officer beside the road asked
for 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. It
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 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 suffered and on the
door was a 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 a 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 a beautiful baby girl with a
wealth of golden curlS. The officer
took one step toward the child and
then halted. He was a stranger to his
pNyf, fash nnI hlnol
The child hid behind the skirts of
the nurse, peering out IN fright. I'm
doubtedly her mother had told her
many times during the Boche occupa-
ton that men in uniform were bad
and that she must avoid them.
The horizon blue uniform of France
meant nothing to this tot The half
blind eyes of the old nurse had recog-
nized her master. and she held out her
hands to him, repeating, Monsieur
Monsieur !" in ecstasy. He crossed the
road and grasped her hands, but the
baby drew back still farther.
A door opened at the end of long
hall and a comely young matron came
through to see what was going on.
When half way down the hall she
caught sight of her husband. She
stopped, her hand flew TO her breast.
and she swayed for second as though
about to fall With sobbing cry of
JOY she hurled herself into his drns.

LITTLE BELGIAN QUEEN o.
SONG LIKES AMERICA

Mile. Alice Verlet, known in her
own beloved country as the Little
Belgian Queen Of Song" loves Ameri-
ca and its people. But her thoughts
will wander back to her other homes.
Mile. verlet was living in her lovely
little house near Brussels when the
war started. OF course, she was
obliged to fee and her home was pref
ty well wrecked by the Germans.
Mile. veriet's piano, her furniture,
her records, were all destroyed with
that peculiar efficiency the Germans
displayed in such cases.
But the house where she lived with
the Grand Opera Company in Paris
had very different kind of tenants.
After Mile. Veriet came to delight
America with her singing, her Paris
home was rented to some American
officers who, she knows, will treat her
cherished possessions with far diff
ferent spirit.
Mile. Verlet's concert in Putnam on
Friday, Nov. 14th, is something to
look forward to. both for music lovers
and for the singer herself. For Mile.
Verlet loves the Americans and enjoys
singing for them.
