went to the right spot. We are at
Cominissey, France, and not disheart-
ened oy our long stay because we have
reason to believe that we will be sent

nave been times when we grumbled, or
IL we didn't go as far as that we felt
that luck was against us when we
read about all the great doings for
80 many other fellows arriving in the
good old U. s. A. But by the time
we get back the returned soldiers may
be an old story. Well. even so We shall
be glad to start home. THE Sun Fund

us have had a share in three or four

WHY US. EXPRESS
SERVICE IS POPULAR
Brooklyn Mans Experiences
With q Barrel of Blankets
Illuminating.
RULES DIFFER ON RULES

Burlap.
RULES DIFFER ON RULES

This is story about a bserel Of
blankeas. a dressmaker's form and Gov
eminent controlled express service.
A Brooklyn man headed UP the bar
rel by wedging Cross strips of pine in
side the top and driving nails through
the slaves and top hoop into tho ends
OF the strip Then across the top of
the barrel he nailed a piece OF stout
oilcloth.
Notice was sent to Uncle Sans ex-
press office at IS Hanson place that
the barrel was ready for shipment by
express. and early on the following
morning an express wagon drove up
at the house. The driver took one
swift squint at the barrel
Against the rules to take that" he
said. ITS got to be headed UP with
wood"
And of he went
Inquiry was made at the office as
to the why's and the wherefores for the
refusal to accept the barrel. and every
body was most polite and apparently
anxious to help the would be shipper
out OF his troubles.
Burlap or Nothing, Il Rule.
1.-THE rules say that such a barrel
must be headed with burlap" explained
one obliging official 'Oilcloth doesn't
go. The name and address must be
marked plainly on the burlap across
the top OF the barrel
Then the enlightened seeker after in
formation as to the only way in which
to head up a barrel OF blankets so that
1t will conform to the rules and regu-
lations of the American Express Rail-
way Company started out to buy some
burlap. Did you ever try to buy a
piece of burlap in Brooklyn? Try It
some day when you have n few spare
hours. stops were made at several kinds
of stores. Nobody kept burlap. and
everybo said they hadn't the slightest
idea who did sell It
Somebody suggested that possibly a
corner fruit or vegetable dealer would
have some. All on whom calls were
made said they were sorry. but what
they had wasn't good enough for an ex-
pess package, and therefore they
couldn't oblige. After sticking to the
trail for an hour the burlap hunter ran
piece in n dusty corner OF his store
and bargain was struck by which the
burlap changed ownership.
Then the man who was so anxious to
become a shipper mixed many blocks TO
his home Che wandered far estrayl and
after much violent exercise managed to
separate the oilcloth from the barrel and
substitute in its place the piece OF bur-
lap. according TO Government specifica-

LEAGUE BOARD MEETS.

Paris, March 22.-The league of ma
tions commission, with President Will
son presiding, met today to consider
amendments to the covenant proposed
during the last two days by delegates
from neutral countries.
1t is authoritatively learned today
that the United States senate will have
to accept or reject in it's entirety the
preliminary peace treaty with the
league of nations covenant included.
Separate action on the treaty and the
league Of nations plan, as planned by
Republican senators, Is thus rendered
impossible.
Under the program followed in draw
ing up the pact the senate must ratify
the treaty without attempting to amend
the league of nations covenant includ-
ed, or refer the entire document back to
the president. If this form of opposi-
tion to the league of nations plan de-
velops, 1t will mean a delay in ex-
changing of ratifications among the
allied governments and postpone estab-
lishment Of formal peace negotiations

President Wilson is now giving con-

While the president has not confided
