AMERICAN SOLDIERS IN
 PARIS ARE GIVEN SOCIAL
 CENTER BY THE s. A. sssss

PARIS, May 5- To give the Amer ican soldiers a center where they can both lodge and spend their time pro fitably throughout the day, the Salva- tion Army has just opened its first "hut" In Paris proper. It is situated on the Rue Clgnancourt, and was for merly the barracks of the 76th French infantry regiment. The "hut" accom- modates 5000 men.
 Several welfare organizations which operate among the American soldiers, including the Young Mems Christian Association, Salvation Army Jewish Welfare League, Knights or Columbus and the American Library Association have combined to .offeE the boys here both instruction and en- tertainment. Doughnnts, pies, flap jacks and cookies "aS mother makes them" are provided for all corners. At hletic meetings alternate with singing and lectures, and there is much inter est in a course of fencing bouts, which has just started.
 Similar institutions are being open cd at the big seaports such as Brest Bordeaux and St. Nazoire, where the American authorities have placed 25 hangars at the disposal of the Saiva- tion Army.
 To minister to the comforts of lone ly American units in the devasted dis trictS of Belgium and northern France where the accommodation is one of the most primitive description and where social centerS are few and far between Colonel William A. Mcintyre of New York, has organized system of trav- cling kitchens where the men will be able to obtain well-cooked food and eat it in comfort instead of in hap hazard fashion on the doorstep of some half-demolished dwelling house as is now the rule rather than the ex. ception.

WINE TRADE 0F FRANCE
 WIDELY

PARIS. May > American prohl- bition upset Frances wine trade. The American market for wines closed, the French exporters of champagneS and other wines seek another market. This will be found in Germany, according to Lucien Fontaine of the Paris Cham Der of Commerce.
 "If there is not sufficient market in Germany, we can go to Holland, Denmark Austria and the Balkans, said NJ. Fontaine. "We can find the market for the suppressed American outlet in Europe. I think.
 "The exportation of wine is not go' ing to be such a hard problem to solve at this time for We have not been pro ducing nearly as much wine during the war as we were before it.
 What are Americans going to do ?' asked NJ. Fontaine of the correspon- dent. "You know that all these sol diers, will miss the French wine in America. Do you not think that Americans will notice the situation worse than the French? Perhaps all these soldiers had better stay here eh 2"
