DOUGHB0Ys SHOUT
American Singer Most Proposed
to Girl in France
Today.

Miss Helen Besler, daughter Of the
president of the Central Railroad of
New Jersey, is probably the most pro-
posed to girl in France today. 1t all
came about because one night she ran
out Of "encores," and sang little nur-
sery song called eff No One Ever Mar
ries Me-" 1t goes like this:
IF no one ever marries me
And don't see why they should,
For nurse says am not pretty,
And I'm seldom very good"
The fate of the little girl in the song
was to buy rabbit hutch and live all
alone in little wood. But the Amer
lean soldiers saw no reason why Miss
Besler, who is pretty and petite" and
typical American girl, should have a
similar lot. After they had given her
the three cheers and tiger with which
they usually thank the Y. NJ. G. A. en-
tertainers they hesitated moment and
then added a purely personal message.
"Barkis is willin'," called the A. e..
F., as one man.
Since then the incident has been re-
peated in every American camp Miss
Besler has visited. No censor would
allow an estimate to pass of the num-
Der of proposals Miss Besler has re-
ceived in that way.

New Phonetic Writing Enables Hitter
ates to Learn in Month.
China has adopted system Of pho
netic writing which is expected to rev.
olutionize elementary education Of that
nation and reduce existing illiteracy, it
was announced at New Haven, Conn.,,
by Edwin c. Lobensteine, who has been
in conference with the Yale-inC China
home Office.
The system invented by the Chinese
themselves, and approved by the gov
eminent board of education at Picking,
consists of only thirty-nine symbols.
Any sound in the language can be rep
resented by combining two or at the
most three of these symbols, and ex-
periments made with hundreds of in.
dividuals have conclusively shown that
an adult illiterate man or woman can
learn to read by the use of system OF
this kind in three or four weeks. 1t
is now being taught in all the govern
ment higher normal schools in the
country.

WEARS SILVER KNEECAP
Soldier Hit by German Piece Of
ShraDneI


Maybe Private Thomas Harrison of
the Eighteenth infantry, formerly Of
Jefferson City, Mo-, is ''hard boiled,'
but he has right to be. Thomas has
had run in with the Boche, and

one he took overseas a year ago. He
is convalescing now at the United
States General hospital, Fort Des
Moines, Ia.
It was at Chateau Thierry that Pri-
vate Harrison "got his" He spot
ted German machine gun in near
by tree.
"Kidlike, I thought could get that
guy" says Thomas. "Just as blazed
away with my rifle, machine gun on
the ground opposite me parked, and
bullet caught me in the knee. A
chunk of shrapnel followed and
scraped my kneecap off. I crawled to
a shell hole, and lay for hours waiting
for a stretcher bearer to pick me
up"
There are number Of Missouri men
convalescing at the United States hos
pital at Fort Des Moines.

CAPTAIN HANNA
GIVES fine TALK

A large audience greeted Captain
l.. B. Hanna, former congressman and
governor in the Normal school audi
forum last night who spoke on his
work in France among the soldier
boys as the representative of the Red
Cross. On the stage with the COVER
nor was the entire organization Of the
Red Cross of Barnes county and the
Y. NJ. G. A. The exercises were open
ed by the singing of America by the
audience led by Prof. J. 3. Meyer.
Following this in his usual vigorous
and mastery manner Mr.. Meyer sang
the Marsailles. They Prof. G. w.
Hanna, superintendent Of our city
schools, in a very happy and cordial
vein, introduced the speaker. For
couple of hours Captain Hanna kept
the audience well interested in his re-
cital of his experiences in France
among the soldiers. He told Of the
many inconvenience and hardships
the boys went through and spoke most
feelingly Of the cheerful manner in
which every American soldier that he
saw took the bumps of life. Sleeping
in mud, fighting in mud, often hours
and hours without anything to eat
these American boys he said fought
and did the part allotted to them and
while some Of them were brought in
from the battle fronts badly injured
and compelled to suffer at times Sc
verely on account of the immense
work the doctors had before they
could be given attention, not once did
he hear a complaint from these sol
der boys. He said it was wonder
full Mr.. Hanna gave a graphic de-
scription of the work and his expert
ences along Red Cross lines, and he
said he could not say too much in
praise of all the organizations, Cath
elic, Protestant alike, working togeth-
ar in perfect harmony. The Red
Cross /, Y. M. G. A., Knights Of Column
bus, Hebrew Society and Salvation
Army and all others were doing a
great work and were contributing un
told enjoyment and comforts for the
boys over there. Mr.. Hanna's talk
was many times very serious as he
told what the boys went through,
then he would switch off on to hum
orous vein and tell Of some Of his
personal experiences that brought
forth many laugh from the pleased
audience. In concluding his enter
tanning talk the speaker brought out
the fact that it was the indomitable
courage of the American soldier,
backed by the people Of America that
put an end to the war and did SO
much for us and the world in gen
eral.

Girls Dream About Her Brother Came
True.

True.
One night one Of the sisters Of Pri-
vate George A. Egan of Syracuse, NY,
a veteran Of the Twenty-third infantry,
dreamed she saw her brother coming
home and that he was on clutches.
She saw so clearly and was so thor
oughly convinced the apparition would
come true she told her employer not
to expect her back the following day
at work.
Without a doubt in her mind, she
arose the next morning and awaited
the arrival of her brother, who had
been absent for more than year. The
rest of the family scoffed at her.
About 7:30 the following morning
the rat-tat-tat of clutches on the walk
leading to their home was heard, and
George appeared at the kitchen door.
