Washington.-The first three Amer
lean soldiers to die in battle on French
soil fell In the village of Bethelmont'
about twelve miles east of Nancy. The
population of this region decided 10
erect a monument commemorative
their sacrifice, and a replica of this
proposed monument was sent to Pres
ident Wilson by Ambassador Sharp
at Paris a few months ago at the re-
quest of those in charge of the prof.
ect. Originally it was the intention
to hold the ceremony of dedication IN
the very village of Bethelmont, where
the three young heroes had given their
lives for freedom, but the community
was situated so near the firing line
that the ceremony had to be held ut
Nancy. Ambassador Sharp has sent
to the state department graphic re-
port on the subject. A large crowd
of distinguished people were present
at the dedication exercises.

In whose honor the monument had

A very touching incident illustrates
the patriotism of those Americans who
had Joined the French Foreign Legion
before the United States entered the
war. Not being able to fight openly
under the Star-Spangled Banner they
procured an American flag and decided
that each of them, in turn, should car

French reverently deposited II at the

American soldiers support their bap-

Behind the Lines In France.-This
land of recent battles Is queer land
now, Over the shell-torn villages and
blasted woods, the pitted fields and
ruin of all that once was Is a strange
quiet. The winter sky is lacking IN
airplanes and great flocks of crows
have taken their place.
A few villagers havea crept back to
see what remains of their homes and
holdings, but probably the winter will
have passed before reclamation and
reconstruction are undertaken on a
large scale.
Along the roads repaired and re-
bridged for the allies advance into
German territory long cannon trains

Of hurry is gone. They bring back

Endless Trophies Of War.
Truck load after truck load Of rifles
and shells, of water bottles and haver-
sacks, cartridges, machine guns, bayo-
nets and trench knives and pistols,
mess kits, overcoats, caps, an endless
catalogue of paraphernalia are brought
in. The battle zone is still full of it
all, in heaps and racks, waiting sal
wage.
Now and then come trains of air
plane camiOns burdened with disman-
tied flying machines of every type and
every nation, engine and fuselage and
running gear on the truck and the
great wings on its specially designed
trailer. Some Of them are unframed,
but many show bullet holes through
the frail fabric or the ruins of a crash.
A fair proportion of them bear the
Maltese cross that marks them boche.
There are trains of captured enemy
artillery, particularly of motor bat
teries, driven and manned by French
men, and these are happy outfits.
Often the guns are decorated with
evergreens and always the French SOL

Holiday Fun With Shadows for
Youngsters
sy A. Nicely HAL

Every boy likes TO give home en-
tertainments. and probably the best
time of the year Is right now during
the holidays when grandmother and
grandfather have come to visit, and
an appreciatiye audience is at hand.
There are so many things for a boy
20 do during this vacation. however
that there is little time to prepare an
entertainment. so ! shall show you
how to give a shadow exhibition, as
this can be arranged in a short time.
II requires only a few minutes to
get the knack OF shadow making, and
after you have tried out the forms
in the accompanying illustrations you
will find it easy to devise others.
The shadows must be cast upon a
sheet, and the audience must be seat
ed on one side OF this. and the opera
tor stand on the other side 1t is best
to hang the sheet in a doorway so the
light by which the shadows are made
can be confined to the screen, because
the room in which the audience are
seated must be dark. By hanging a
dark cloth over the upper and lower
portions of the doorway the area of
the picture screen can be reduced to
just the size necessary, and the COW
