NEWS FROM ACROSS THE SEAS


Lieut.. Royal Steiner, in the Signal
Corps, is kept busy at the supply de-
pot stationed at Gievres, a small place
about six miles from Romorantin,
France. Royal has no. been in the
fighting line &c any time, but has just
as faithfully performed his share of
the work about rs miles from the
front He tells his parents that he
can buy nearly all needed supplies at
the quartermaster's cheaper than they
can be purchased in this country -
good WOODEN socks, So cents; best of
shoes for $500; they have everything
in camp that is needed, even to a
sewing machine. Royal visited Paris
soon after the armistice was signed
and tells of one very impressive
sight. For miles and miles, guns of
all kinds, sizes and descriptions were
lined up hub to hub, on each side of
the street, the MOBILES of the big guns
turned toward he street-visible evil
dence of surrender of lighting mate
rails In one letter he wrote - I'VE
now have a camp that does almost as
much business as Chicago, and the
whole thing has been accomplished in
a little over year. 1t is so big and
fast that the French cannot grasp it,"
The present work of the depot is to
pack up the material to get it out OF
the way-an endless job. In a recent
letter he said-"You would be inter-
ested to see our warehouses filled to
the roof with all kinds of instruments
for communication What would you
think of an instrument that makes
possible the sending of three mes
sages each way on wire at the same
time, that is six messages in all at
the same time, and in addition the
wire may be used as telephone line.
You thus have seven messages being
sent at the same time and the tele-
graphing is done by an instrument
similar to a typewriter. All the OPP
orator does is to operate the type
writer and the message is transmit
ted and printed on ribbon at the
Other end. That is but a sample of
what the Americans are doing in sig
nal work" Under date of Jan. IL he
wrote-"No one knows of course
when it will be possible to close the
depot here and no doubt l shall have
to stay until it is entirely cleaned up.
A beginning has been made in the dis
position of some of the material, for
We have sold our junk copper wire to
the French. You would be interested
to see how we clean our junk wire
of insulation. The wire comes back
from the front as salvage, in all
stages of worthlessness and snarls
We pile it into huge piles and then
light it, The bonfire is tremendous,
but when it is all over the pure metal
is left and that is all that is wanted.
1t may be that quite bit of material
will be sold over here, in which case
we may close up rapidly" Soon after
he got into this work "over there" he
gave little different idea of the i'm
mense amount of shipping necessary
because of the war than most of us
ever thought of. He told that a boat
left New York every six minutes, day
or night, with men, ammunition, food
or whatever was needed on the other
side, and part of this immense ship.

BIC SHOE BILLS
 NOT NECESSARY

'sIt looks as if l would not be able to wear out my shoes with Ne6lin .Seles. They have been in service about a year, and are still good. writes w. C Dickinson of New Haven, Conn.
 It is natural that shoes with Neolin lSeles should wear a long time. for IMe1hn Soles give sxtra wear where most shoes wear out quickest.
 These long-lasting soles are made by Science to be especially tough and dur ahle-eomfortabie and waterproof, too. If you want to save money on shoes buy them with Neolin Soles, Good shoe stoxes carry them in many styles fer men, women. and children. And you can have your old shoes robot toned with Neolin Soles at any repair shop.
