THESE YANKS JUST.
HAD TO HAVE CANDY

PARIS. Jan. 12.-They edged up in
front Of the canteen counter of a
Y. NJ. c. A. hut at Aix-les- Bains and
demanded candy. two privates just
back from Luxembourg.
Something that lasts" one of them
said, and displayed disappointment
because there weren't any aH-day
suckers. Each bought the maximum
amount that may be sold to any one
soldier.
Presently they were back again, this
time coming a little more warily, but
with the same determination in their
eyes. Again they wanted candy. a lot
of candy. Mother" Anderson. with
the red triangle on her arm and
known to every soldier who has ever
been on leave at Aix-Ies- Bains, came
up to explain why no more sweets
could be sold to them. The two SOL
diers looked heart-broken.
But we gotta have it, am" ex-
claimed one Of them
Then they told her why. Almost a
days travel from Aix-Ies-Bains they
had come upon a little schoolhouse.
The little French children, taught by
an old man. had trooped out and had
saluted the American soldiers. They
were the first children the boys had
seen in months. Now they wanted to
go back and take the youngsters some
candy. They had permission from
their officers, and the only thing that
they lacked was the candy.
I'VE gotta CO." they said again.
I'VE told the kids we'd come back with
some candy for them. We said 1t in
English. but they got US all right. We
promised. Please sell II to US, mann -
They got 1t. OF course. Then they
set off casually on their errand, just
two plain American priyates, gladly
giving UP two days of their precious
leave so that the little French chill
dren they had seen, but once before
might have some candy-thard candy,
something that lasts. +..' - FL .....

PARIS, April 10 (By The Asso-
cated Press s).--Dr. Fridtjof Nansen,
head of the commission to feed Russia,
is having difficulty in getting into
touch with Nikolai Lenine, the Rus
sian Bolshcvik Premier, concerning
the revictualling of Russia on condi-
ton that the Bolsheviki cease hostili-
ties.
The wireless services Of the En-
tente countries apparently are not
available, and a messenger will be sent
to Norway to communicate DR.. Nan
sens messages to Moscow. Conse-
not be available for several days.
The French press is showing a
hostile attitude toward the revictual-
ling plan, One paper describes it as
another prlnkipos," and several
charge that it is an attempt by the
Americans to ingratiate themselves to
obtain concessions, and scout the
suggestion of humane, rather than po-
litical, motives.
Although the American peace delega-
ton has repeatedly stated that William
not empowered to negotiate with the
Bolsheviki when they visited Russia
recently, the fact that they were ac-
companied by Captain w. W. Petit,
of the United States army, lent such
official coloring to the party that both
the French and English newspapers
are inclined to regard the delegation
as official and credit the revictualling
plan to their report.
Captain Petit did not remain in
Moscow to continue as liaison officer
between the Bolsheviki and the Amer
lean peace delegation, as reported in
the European press, but is now in
Stockholm. having come out of Russia
with Steffens and Bullitt
Before the United States entered the
war Captain Petit was in Russia look

LONDON, April 19--Eas ter finds acute
unrest over wide area in Europe and
Asia. Lloyd Georges worries are not
limited to the future Of Russia, where
the Allied troops face powerful Boil
shevik forces, or to Central Europe,
where communist governments spring
up like mushrooms
The British Premier has perplexing
problems to consider in Egypt, where
the political discomfort has taken the
form Of serloA riots; in Turkey.
where armed bands are threatening
the Christians with massacre; in Sy-
ria, where the people are disturbed
over the report that France is not to
act as mandatory for them, and in In
dia, where the MosIems and Hindus
have united in rebellion against the
British crown.
Danger of Religious War
IL NdtC Viz OiSOIuclS III VIC Near
and Far East have been SOLDERING but
not alarming. The real danger is that
they may grow into religious war
Although so far they are only perplex-
ing problems for Great Britain to
handle. they may develop into interna-
tional questions.
In a few days the ulemas, or su-
prcme religious councils of the Mahom-
etan world, will meet to determine the
course they will take. It is difficult
to measure how great factor is the
religious element in these uprisings.
Undoubtedly they originate in national
aspirations, but once under way they
are famed by religious feeling, and
the peace of the world becomes seri-
ously endangered
Want Sclf-Detcrmination
Self determination seems to have
most of the world by the ears, especi cial-
ly Egypt and India, not to mention
Ireland The war simply brought the
grievances of these countries to head,
and Great Britain has the task Of rem
edying them.
