Girls Dream About Her Brother Came
True.
One night one of the sisters of Pri'
vate George A. Egan of Syracuse, NY,
a veteran of the Twenty-third infantry,
dreamed she saw her brother coming
home and that he was on crutches.
She saw so clearly and was so thor
oughly convinced the apparition would
come true she told her employer not
to expect her back the following day
at work.
Without a doubt IN her mind, she
arose the next morning and awaited
the arrival of her brother, who had
been absent for more than year. The
rest of the family scoffed at her.
About Z 80 the following morning
the rat-tat-tat of clutches on the walk
leading TO their home was heard, and
George appeared at the kitchen door.

"DARkE IS MIIN',"
D0UenBOYs SHOUT
American Singer Most Proposed
to Girl In France
Today.

Miss Helen Besler, daughter of the
president of the Central Railroad Of
New Jersey. Is probably the most pro-
posed to girl in France today. 1t all
came about because one night she ran
out OF "encores." and sang q little nur-
sery song called III No One Ever Mar
ries Me- 1t goes like this:
III no one ever marries me-
And 1 don't see why they should,
For nurse says am not pretty,
And I'm seldom very good"
The fate Of the little girl In the song
was to buy a rabbit hutch and live all
alone In little wood. But the Amer
lean soldiers saw no reason why Miss
Besler, who Is pretty and petite" and
typical American girl, should have
similar lot. After they had given her
the three cheers and tiger with which
they usually thank the Y. M. G. A. en-
tertainers, they hesitated moment and
then added purely personal message.
"Barkis is willin'," called the A. E.
f., as one man.
Since then the incident has been re-
peated In every American camp Miss
Besler has visited. No censor would
allow an estimate to pass Of the num-
Der of proposals Miss Besler has re-
ceived In that way.

AMERICANS AT
WADIYOSTOK
GO ON MARCH
With their Great Sheeplined
Coats, a Long Hike is
No Picnic.

vladivostok, Dec. 3.@orrespond-
ence of The Associated Press.)-The
American forces on the V~ladtvostok
front turned out for a practice march
into the hills today. In the early
crisp air Of the morning the troops
assembled from various camps, some
Of which lie three to four miles away
in the valleys beyond the Golden
Horn bay. They came in heavy
in buffalo-hide or sheep-skin-lined
greatcoats and fur caps, and with
close to sixty pounds on their backs.
They brought their feld-kitchens all
fired up for the Dor meal, besides all
the other equipment of a mobile
army.
The start was from the army base
at the foot of the bay. With a back
ground of dun hills splashed with
snow and dotted here and there with
wooden shacks, with roads winding
away into the distance filled with the
assembling soldiers, one could easily
imagine the scene of n of Washing
toms Pennsylvania campaigns. The
big. sleek mules in their brand new
harness looked efficient. The big
horses with the big men riding them
ooked business-like. The horses and
mules. like the men, were stout and
hearty.
The native population gathered and
looked their admiration. Workmen
knocked off work to watch them go
by. Even some of the officers, who
with General Graves reviewed the
column from the roadside evinced
more than usual interest in the new
pattern guns and field equipment.
There were some little guns
trundled by all wrapped up in canvas
covers. There were men carrying
queer looking things like modified
"blunderbusses." Somebody said they
could "lay down an effective barrage
at eight hundred yards. And there
we're a lot of other guns.
From an angle in h road the re-
viewers watched the brown line climb
Il steep grade and disappear around
the shoulders of a rocky hill. The
idea appears to have been to demon
strate the fitness of the force to march
If called upon. And the verdict was:
Fit for anything-even up to the Vol
ga.
