Miss Byzantine Moussu, of Pendle-

service in France as "a telephone opera
TOR in the Signal Corps. took messages
over the wire in Paris when Big Ber-
tina was busiest. And although a shell
killed ten people across the street

was employed, she says that she was
glad to undergo hardships in order to
serve the United States. Incidentally,
Miss Moussu declares that beyond this
danger. real hardships were few.
Miss Moussu is the daughter of the
late II. q. Moussu, Il native of France
and it was her knowledge of French
that made her valuable as telephone
operator, because she could take mes
sages in English and get into easy
communication with French centrals.
She was in the aviation and intelli-
gence offices and was offered the
management of the latter office but
signal corps regulations forbid that an
American girl be alone in the office.
After serving in Paris for three
months, the oregon girl was sent to
TouI. a city of 1S.0Ot, where she spent
four months, one month being
before the Armistice was signed.
After that time she was sent
To Chaumont. General Pershing's 5
headquarters. and was thus given an
opportunity to observe the work of the
American general staff.
French girls. according to Miss
MouSsu. resented the arrival of the
