Private Rueben Day, A. E. F., of
Rockville, Nd. is with his company
near Verdun, France.
In the postoffice cafeteria today a
young man carrying his dinner tray
to one of the tables for quiet
lunch, had forgotten to take his
pldIe OF ice cream liOih lhC SouhSci'
and one of the lady clerks of the
postofice observing that he had
overlooked his cream passed it to
him with a most betwitching smile.
That smile certainly had its effect,

of dinner on the floor, and every
body smiled.

MAY HAVE TO SINK
HUN FLEET AFTER ALL
Difficulties of Distribution Said to
Be Insurmountable.

Peace delegates are still perplexed
over the problem of the German fleet,
navy officials said yesterday.
Difficulties of distributing the Ger
man ships among the allied navies
are said by navy experts here to be
almost insurmountable. The cost of
putting a German dreadnaught into
commission as an American warship,
for instance. would cost 100000, it
is estimated. The machinery is on
an entirely different scale. threads on
the wheels turned lefthanded and
even electric light sockets are OF diff
ferent size, it Is stated.
National rivalry also prevents CIV
ing the fleet in total to any one coun-
try or two, as has been suggested
for France and Italy.

a fair opportunity to the banks
throughout the country which have
