HOSPITAL N MEMORY
OF AMERICANS WHO
FELL At CAMT|GNY

PARIS, Sept. 23.-The memory of
the American soldiers who fell at
Cantigny is to be p~erpetuated at
Montdidier by the establishment of
a municipal hospital constructed
from American Red Cross barracks.
Over the entrance to the admins
tration building will be an inscrip-
ton reading: Gift of the American
Red Cross to the Town of Mont
didier. In memory of the American
soldiers who fell at C%antigny."
Cantigny, in the valley below
Montdidier, was the first American
battlefield in France. In the be-
ginning of the allied advance last
summer, the Americans captured
Cantigny against tremendous odds,
advancing further than n other
troops in taking it.
Many Americans lie buried on the
hillsides about the town. The
French country people + keeping
the graves green, many of the fami-
lies having adopted" American
graves.
In the country surrounding Mont
didier, the soldier-peasant is re-
turning to the soil. Crops are grow
ing where in January there were
hundreds Of she'll holes, dugouts ana
trenches. Nearly half of the uevas-
tated fields in the district have cen
reclaimed. But while this has been
going on the villages have in a large
measure been neglected. Social
life, however, is beng rapidly re-
stored. Churches and schools are
springing up everywhere and in
many cases Red Cross barracks are
serving for this purpose.
Despite the fact that their homes
are dark cellars and dugouts, the
people are cheerful and never fail to
express their gratitude and appre-
citation for what America has done
for them.

PARIS, Sept. 1.-(Correspondence
of the Associated Press. )-Little
Roadway has been made in the case
of Landru, 1.-The Gambais Blue
beard" as the French papers term
him, who is charged by the police
with being responsible for the dis
appearance of thirteen women to
whom he had promised marriage.
The police have been investigating
for four months and four times a
week Landru is taken from the
prison of La Sante to the office of
Judge BONN, whose questions as to
the fate of the thirteen women
elicit from Landru evasive and at
times very witty responses. They
have got as far as sweetheart No.
5 and Landru's flippant replies have
nearly driven the judge to nervous
prostration.
Yesterday the judge announced
that he was going for a holiday.
Landru Immediately Clipped in with
the request that he, too, be per-
mitted to take a vacation, as the
regime of La Sante did not agree
with him. Might he not be allowed
to 60 to his villa at Gambais and
hold himself at the disposition of
the court? 1t was from Gambais
villa that Landru's future spouses
disappeared, never to be heard of
since.
Judge BONN was asking Landru
this week how it was that his son,
who assisted him in removing the
furniture of three of his fiancees did
not make queries when moving, that

SUGAR SCARCE IN FRANCE

PARIS. Sept. ga truck driver
was unloading a load of heavy sacks
at a restaurant in one Of the boule-

burst and it's contents were spread
over the sidewalk. A crowd gath

finger and tasted the white powder.
Great heavens" she shouted, sit

Then the pillase began. News
papers, handkerchfefs and women's
handbangs served as r~eceptacles for
the precious dainty. In a few min
utes there remained of that bag of
sugar nothing but a white spot on

BULGARIA IS
NOW PEACEFUL

GENEVA, Sept. 23.-Bulgaria is
one Of the most tranquil states in
Europe today. says Ivan S. Guichof,
formerly Bulgarian minister Of for
eign affairs and SOW minister to
Switzerland.
Instead of ~resorting to revolu-
ton, the Bulgarians have returned
to their farms ant peace-time pur-
suits, believing this to be the only
way of curing the Ills caused by
two successive wars, the minister
adds.
M. Guichof ascribes this peaceful
internal condition and the opposi-
ton in Bulgaria to anarchistic or
communist propaganda to the fact
that the majority of the Bulgarian
people, So per cent, are peasants,
owners of their own land and
homes. This is sufficient. he says,
to show that the people so consti-
tuted as the Bulgarians are will al
ways be averse to communistic ten
denotes.
Another reason for internal peace
is the fact that crops in Bulgaria
have been good.

Tools and other articles have been
known to have been stolen from

instance known of an act of DELHI
crate destruction of this kind being
involved in a theft. No reason can
be assigned for the theft except that

BUSINESS BETWEEN U.S..
AND MEXICO INCREASING

MEXICO CITY, Sept 1.-(Cor-
respondence of the Associated
Press.)-Despite conditions popular
ly regarded in the United States as
~uninviting to American trade expan-
sion here, business between that
country and Mexico shows a decided
upward turn. During the fiscal year
just closed imports and exports be-
tween the two republics amounted
to more than $1,000. 900 pesos, &C
cording to. figures given to the AS
ISOLATED Press by w. F. Saunders,
secretary of the American Chamber
of Commerce in Mexico City.
Of this amount 376,00O,000 pesos
represents exports from Mexico and
1874, 000, pesos represents imports.
Previous to the current fiscal year,
the banner period of Mexican-U United
States business, was in 1911, when
102, 600, 600 pesos worth of goods
were exported from Mexico and 1885,
900, 600 were imported.
"Deducting amounts representing
petroleum expectations, which are
not considered in the ordinary run
of commercial business, and for in
creased values of goods, these fig
ures indicate clearly that trade is
increasing" said Mr.. Saunders.

L0NDONERs
TRY TO REACH
AMERICA

LONDON, Sept. 2o.-The United
States consulate here has been a
veritable Tower of Babel this month.
Cosmopolitan London has been
pouring a varied array of nationals
into the American gateway in Eng
land with the single hope that they
be allowed to go to h United
States. It's a case of many knock
ing and few entering, however.
No one is allowed to go unless
he or she has a good reason for
being in the United States. The
wealthy Britisher who wishes to
escape after war conditions here
and see a country he has heard so
much about recently is in the same
category as the Italian or French
waiter who wants to seek a job "out
there" But if any one has any
thing to sell-those cases are in the
great minority, however, as few
people in England have anything
now that is needed in the United
States-or if they wish to go to
purchase, they r given every ia
cility.
Every morning an hour or so be-
fore the consulate opens a line OF
aliens forms. Often there r from
25 to 100 in the queque and more
keep coming. An average of nine
out of ten will be disappointed.
A British woman evidently OF
means and just as evidently lacking
diplomacy made no attempt to con-
ceal her irritation at standing in
line an hour and a half. Her reason
she said for wanting to go to the
United States was to visit some
relatives.
as your presence in the United
States necessary because of the
financial condition of your rela-
~tives?" the examiner asked her.
Certainly not" rather haughtily.
"Then I cannot grant you a vise.'
The young examiner was then
deluged with threats but 1t was OF
no avail.
The next applicant was an Ameri-
can officer who also wished to ge,
a wise for a girl wstn him whom he
said he intended to marry when
they reached the United States
Her type raised in the mind of the
examiner the question whether she
would be gladly received by tho
mother of the young man. Her case
was held up for consid Patton. The
young officer doubtless is home, as
he expected to sail within a few
days and the financee has not pre-
sented herself again.

OFFICERS
CANNOT GET JOBS

LONDON, Aug. 3O.-(Correspon-
dence of the Associated Press.)-
From all parts of the country come
reports of the difficulty demobi-
lized officers are having to find
jobs. Those former officers with
wives and families to support are
in many cases living on meager
pensions. !.
One of the most remarkable cases
of unemployment is that of a Cam
bridge university graduate who for,
the greater part of the war held an
important command in the army and
subsequently a temporary post of
great responsibility in a govern
ment department. He is armed with
a letter from the wal office thank
ing him for his services and add
ing: "There are few people with
greater organizing ability, more
drive than yourself" Another letter
to him from Sir Auckland Geddes,
president of the board of trade, ex-
presses warm personal thanks for
your loyal and devoted cooperation
in very difficult work" King
George bestowed on him the order
pire.
But these credentials have been
of no avail in his quest for suitable
employment in this country, and, in
despair, he says that he is going to
America next month.
Ex-officers have discovered that
the business world regards long
military service as a disadvantage
rather than an asset. An infantry
captain, 43 years old, with a wife
and three children, said: II have
farmed in South Africa, served with
the Natal Mounted Police and pros
pected for gold. l want an put
door job connected with agriculture.
with a minimum salary of $3.50.

for a small holding. but l am told
| may have to wait twelve months"
Another former officer reported
that his firm would take him back
at half his pre-war salary, saying
that was the best they could do as
trade was so bad.
Some companies don't know there
has been a war on" commented a
I~job-seeking ex-officer who before
he vent into the army was the head
clerk in an insurance office. "My
people have offered me $3.50 a year,
and l am &C."
