Paris, Nov. S.-The first hotel in
France, reserved exclusively for
American fathers and mothers who
have crossed the ocean to visit the
graves of their dead, will be opened
at Romagne, where is located the
largest American military cemetery
in France. Here sleep more than
21, 500 American boys who laid down
their lives in the war.
Now that passport restrictions are
being lifted, many American parents
are coming to France every day to
visit the graves of the American SOL
diers. Some mothers come alone,
and not knowing French costumes
and language. suffer many discom-
forts finding the way to their boys S
grave. Many wish to remain a day
or two at the cemeteries which are
some distance from the nearest
towns, but until now there have been
no accommodations.
Similar hotels will be established
later at other American cemeteries.
The second one will probably be
plaeed at st. Quentin.
After Romagne. the next largest
cemetery is the one at Thiaucourt
with 4,200 graves. Among the other
large American cemeteries are:
Beaumont, $50 graves; fFismes, l.

What was the sort OF book that
you liked best when you were a
child? Did you revel in the adven-
lures of Robinson Crusoe" of a
rainy afternoon, or vision goblins

poured over that ancient volume of
the Brothers Grimm on an Indian
summer afternoon in the woods?
Some OF our we'll known authors of
to-day enjoyed these particular
volumes as children. Others ran
far apart in their respective juve-
nile tastes. William Dean Howells
found his earliest literary joys in
Goldsmith, Cervantes. and Irving.

of timely interest to think for a
moment on children's books in
vogue when those people who are
making our own book world to-day
were children. The following COM
ments speak for themselves.
William Dean Howells.
In his book my Literary Pas
sions." william Dean Howells tells
at length of the bookshelf at home
and what 1t meant in shaping his
future career. This library" in his
home of the Ohio printers family
back in the SOS. was "just a case OF
very few shelves" but lacking it,
what home would never have given
the world one of its chief literary
men of the 10th century. Small as
the collection was. it seems to have
held many of the most important
books; a modern parent could do
much worse than model a library

Howells gives in my Literary Pas
sions."

likings of my own" he says, "and to
love certain books above all Others,
the first authors of my heart were
Goldsmith, Cervantes and Irving. In
the sharply foreshortened perspec-
tive of the past seem to have read
them all at once, but I am aware OF
an order of time in the pleasure
they gave me, and I know that
Goldsmith came first. He came so
early that I cannot tell when or how
began to read him but it must
have been before I was ten years
old" And then Mr.. Howells goes on

Say Salmon Failure Is
Due to Dry Season

Juneau, Alaska, Nov. s. - Many
persons engaged in the salmon fish
cries for years attribute the failure
of Alaska's salmon run this year to
the dry season in 1915. In that sea-
son the streams were so dry that
salmon could not ascend.
According to the theory that sal
mon return to fresh water when four
years of age to spawn and die, this
years short run of the fish would
be explained.
Others, however, take more
pessimistic view. E. P. Kendall,
general manager of one of the coun-
try's largest can companies, asserts
Alaskan waters are being flshed out.
To save the salmon industry, he be-
lieye, the stream must be immedi-
ately cleaned out and the natural
spawning grounds protected.
Mr.. Kendall, advocating a meeting
this winter at Seattle between the
Gamers and representative Alaska
citizens, said he was confident that
every canner of the north would CO.
operate.

BOOSTS PRICE OF
MONEY ORDERS
The British Postal Authorities
Causes Loss to
Americans

London, Nov. S.-By increasing
the cost of money orders payable in
the United States from cents to ~
cents for every pound sterling, the
postal authorities have blocked an
avenue whereby Americans were
able to send money home without
incurring any loss incident to the
low rate of British exchange on
America.
Throughout the period of depreci-
alton of English money in the United
States, the international postal rate
of exchange has remained constant
at 4.S7. So by resorting to money
orders instead of to bank drafts,
which were governed by the daily
rate of exchange, and often so or
more points below the postal rate.
those who wished to transfer money
from this country to the other side
were enabled to do so at the nominal
expense of less than 10 cents for
every S5.
There was a limit, however. to
the amount that could be sent in
this way, the authorities during the
war restricting II to lou pounds a
week for each individual.
One American business man in
London avoided serious loss by using
this means of transferring his CAPT.
tai to his home city in Ohio. OF
course. many weeks were required
to effect this particular transfer, as
the amount involed was several
thousand pounds, but he got it all
throught just before the price OF
money orders was so radically
boosted.
So far the American postal
authorities have not altered the cost
of money orders payable in this
country. An American banker here
pointed out to the correspondent
that the situation created by the
action of the British postal authori-
ties places the American public at
a disadvantage, especially those
persons living in country districts
where banking facilities are limited
and who must rely on the postal
money-order service.

Salonil<i. Nov. S.-Field Marshal
August Won Mackensen, who COM
manded the German forces which
invaded Rumania, and his staff have
been brought here by the French
military authorities from Northern
Serbia and interned just outside the
city. The German military : leader
and his officers are permitted freely
to go about the streets, but they
usually are accompanied by O
French officer. The correspondent.
however. observed two of their num-
Der riding horseback on the outskirts
of the city without guards. Each
officer wore an Iron Cross and dis
played a pride and bravado not quite
In keeping with men whose army
had been vanquished.
Mackensen had been given large
and comfortable house opposite the
French aviation field and overlook
ing the Aegean Sea. 1t was for
merly occupied by the higher French
officers and is elegantly furnished.
A day or two after his arrival the
field marshal strolled through the
roadways of the British military en-
campment, which is many acres In
extent, and was amazed at the thor
oughness and completeness of every
thing. The British have since with
drawn from this encampment.
The German generaliSsimo has
changed little in appearance since
the war and apparently is not wor-
rying greatly over what fate he may
suffer at the hands of the Allies.
The general impression is that he
will be interned here until the Allies
are ready to try him. 1t is felt the
most serious charge against him is
his wanton destruction of the rail-
roads and other property in Ru-
mania after the signing of the ar
miStice.
