ONE FRENCHMAN GAVE
20 SONS TO FRENCH ARMY

were on hand at the American ware
houses in Marseilles when the war
ended. With the rapidly diminishing
demand of the A. E. F., much of the
canned salmon has been reshipped to
Genoa and thence overland to the Ital-
ian front. The Italians like the
scorned American goldfish" a food
which long since lost its attractive
ness where doughboys are concerned.
France has found still another
means of living up to the national mot
to- Liberty, Equality, Fraternity. A
simple "poilu", a private soldier of
the second grade with nothing to his
particular credit other than that he
represents the great mass of the
'poilus" of France, has been named
as candidate for the French Acad-
emy. The Forty Immortals" have
added two great soldiers-Joffre and
Foch- to their numbers but it re-
mained for the League of Poilus, an
organization of French veterans. to
really undertake the democratizing of
the military branch of the most fam
Gus of Frances intellectual organiza-
tions. The League has nominated
Louis Arnould Gremilly, one of its
members, as candidate for the seat
now vacant in the Academy.
Approximately four thousand army
dentists in combined attack on the
jaws of nearly two million doughboys
succeeded in capturing 67,133 teeth
during one month alone. All records
for tooth extractions in the A. E. F.
were broken in that month when this
enormous number of teeth was re-
moved from the aching jaws of Am
erica's "Over Here" heroes.
Pulling teeth was not the only oc-
I cupation of the heartless army dem
lists, for during the same month S76,-
655 filings were put in.
The chief dental surgeon of the
A. E. F. reports that during the course
of hostilities seven army dentists
were killed by shell fire and that over
forty were injured.
Advice to prospective bigamists.
Before becoming bigamist, it will
be advisable to win honors on the
field of battle if you would escape the
penalties of the law
The French military court has Just
pardoned soldier -bigamist. Jean
Abele's home is in Commines. In 1910
he married Mile. Meuchiet and lived
happily with her until August, 1914,
when he was called to the colors. He
was wounded three times and was
twice cited for the Croix de Guerre.
In 1917, while on convalesence leave
he met Mile. Detruit, and soon after
wards, married her. He had passed
himself as unmarried, and until the
end of the war all went we'll. Then
came the armistice,- and soon there
after came Nine. Able seeking her
long-lost soldier-husband. She found
him. She also found wife number
two. Wife number two agreed that
her claims on Adele were indeed rath-
er questionable. Wife number one
was only too happy to re-establish her
home. The court martial officers
couldn't bring themselves to the con-
viction of the brave soldier.

PARIS, July Is (by maiD "Details
have just been received from Lille
on what is considered without ques-
ton the greatest contribution" made
to the war by any one single family.
The head Of this family was Mon
sieur Vanhee, farmer living at Rem
inghe, near Ypres. At the outbreak
of the war he was the father of thir-
ty-six living children, fourteen girls
and twenty-five boys. OF the latter,
during the course of the war twenty
fought in the French ranks. OF these
twenty thirteen were killed and three
were permanently discharged as the
result of wounds uniting them for
further service. Still another was
wounded four times during the war.
In III, the widow of one of the
sons, Alfred, was also killed during
the bombardment of Dunkirk. She
left five orphans. But even before
this, Monsieur Vanhee had already
given up his life to the Germans. In
October of 1914 he had come to Lille
with one of his daughters to celebrate
the birthday of relative On the
return home, the two were caught by
a German patrol and shot.
A winner of the Croix de Guerre
when only years old is the unap-
proachable record of little Roger Ba-
voux of Saint Die, France. Roger
is now years old and has only Just
Askceived the war decoration, but his
citation mentions service that he
performed nearly five years ago, when
the Germans rushed into his little
home town out on the French Alsatian
border.
Little Roger fatty refused to have
any dealings with the enemy. Though
just tiny tot he resisted the pre-
sumption of the Prussians who tried
to make friends with him. But Roger
wouldn't be won over. He refused
even to say bon jour" to the enemy
and now wears the Croix de Guerre for
his sternness in the face of the enc
my advances"
Travel by air routes and avoid the
congesting of the already overworked
railroads. That in substance is the
plea now being made by aviation pro-
moters in Germany. Time schedules
of German passenger-ca air
services have been received in Paris.
Extensive advertising of the air routes
is beinb carried on, the hackers of
the project pointing out the advantage
of airplane travel over that of trains,
and practically begging the public to
give the railroads chance to rebuild
and to repair the wear and tear of the
last four years.
According to the time schedule re-
ceived here, regular civilian air serv-
ice has been established between Ber-
lin and the cities of Hamburg, Ham
over, Leipzig, Weimar and several
other of the larger cities.
