The summary was made public today by the state department.
 The party at Helsingfors," said the summary, twas composed of French. British, Belgian and Italian citizens, most of them Red Cross workers. The reports all agree as to the excessive cost of all necessaries and the scare Fly of food.

200 ENLISTED MEN AT
 BARRON FIELD ASK
 RELEASE FROM ARMY
Decline to Do Anything Not Required of Them As
 Soldiers.

Fit. Worth, Tex. Feb. 2S.-The en- listed men at Barron Field, about 200 in number, gathered from all parts of the United States, today filed with Captain Pierce, commanding officer, a protest against being longer kept in the service. The communication, about 1000 words long, is couched in respectful language. a.
 It is stated in the protest that the men enlisted "for the period of the war" and the war now is over; that they are losing valuable time; the families of some are starving, others are obtaining employment they could nlso obtain if, free from army duty, and that since officers have been giv- en the right to decide whether or not they wish to remain ill the service the same privilege should te given to enlisted men.
 The men, it is said decline to en- gage in any of the sports, amusements or recreations provided at the flying field and which they are urged t" support. They say they are compe- tent to provide their own amusements and relaxations and to determine with out aid that which is best for their m- terests. The men, in short. decline to do anything not required of them las soldiers.
 Captain Pierce said the protest was laid on his desk this morning. He did not indicate what action he would take

"He came often to our house." writes the authoress, "having an obvious admira. tion for the pretty young aunt who lived with us. One day he called as usual and l at once climbed on his knees and stared searchingly into his clear. brown eyes. Whats the matter,
