better food than the German popula-
ton had seen for years, and better
clothing
1.-The effect was irresistible, and
spread over all Germany. 1t became
source of embarrassment to the
German officials, and we were even
told we were sending more supplies
than were necessary and asked to re-
duce the quantity. We were informed
officially that the prisoners received
so much food that they were using
their canned vegetables to play pass
bali with. OF course, using a can Of
corn to toss around a circle instead of
a ball didn't hurt the contents any
but it made a profound impression on
the Germans to see good food used in
such a apparently reckless manner.
Secured Better Treatment.
Because the American prisoners
we're sent food, clothing and toilet
articles to enable them to maintain
their health and selfrespect, they
were respected by the Germans. On
the contrary, Italian and Russian
prisoners who received no supplies
were starved and in rags as a conse-
quence and were treated like dogs"

America, including such selections as
"Just Like Washington Crossed the
Delaware, Pershing viii Cross the
Rhine" Its a Long Way to Berlin
But Well Get There" etc.
Rather than deprive the American
prisoner bands of these pieces, the
titles were clipped off and the music

1t actually happened one day not long ago
that the American doubhboys on leave
here suddenly found a Queen in their

with the loveliest young daughter of a
Princess that was ever seen outside a
fairy story. Queen Nary Of Roumania
and the Princess Marie had come to visit
the Y. M. c. A. leave area, and to see
the Yanks at their business of having
a good time.
American jazz music was responsible
for the sudden friendship which sprang
up between the soldiers and the Princess,
.or until the band started and the dane
ing began, everything was just as it
might have been expected to be when
a Queen was looking on. But the music
was too much for even the royal feet.

"Y" SHOWS NOVEL MOVIES.

Paris, July being forced to travel
back to America a bed patient, does not
keep the American soldier nowadays
from enjoying a good movie on board
ship. Even in the most serious cases,
those who are forced to lie fiat on their
backs during the entire journey across
the Atlantic are enthusiastic movie fans,
their opportunity to see Charlie Chaplin,
Doug Fairbanks and others, being the
result of an adjustable movie machine
which the Y. NJ. c. A. is using on trans
ports to throw pictures on the ceilings
of the sick-bays, or wards, where the
worst cases are placed. The ceiling screen
movie on shipboard came as the result
of experiments that have proven success
full in American hospitals in France
the pictures in these cases being thrown
on the plain white ceiling without the
use of a screen. The machines used are
small, and are adjusted at an angle that
makes a perfect picture-show possible.
The men in the sick-bays are said to be
the most appreclative movie-audiences
with which the "Y'' has dealt In all its
work in the A. T.. +.

Red Cross Nurses
Die For Liberty
One Hundred and Ninety-eight Amer
lean Women Laid Down Their
Lives During the War.


One hundred and ninety-eight
deaths among the 1887 American Red
Cross nurses who served during the
great war, represents the contribu-
tion in human life Of American wo-
manhood, toward winning the war.
The personnel of these martyrs
ranges between Jane A. DelanO, late
Director General Of the American
Red Cross Department of Nursing,
who lies buried in France, and those
humber but no less heroic women
who gave up their lives in American
caltOnments. Their graves He all

single blue star represents the 1887
Red Cross nurses IN active war duty,

burn on this flag, a silent tribute to
those splendid women VINO felt that
duty was more than life itself and
who, carrying out the traditions and
the Ideals Of the Red Cross, were
faithful even unto the end.

and 80 when the music started Marie
began to look wistfully at the dancers
and to keep time with her small feet.
The Queen saw through It all and sug-
gested to her daughter that she join in

Americans
A suggestion was all that was needed.
and in a very brief space of time. the
pretty little Princess was in the arms
of a big Yank, learning American steps
to the tune of hobnails, and having ''the
time Of her life" She didn't get to dance
with her first partner long, however, for
the great dancing game of steal was
in order and every single soldier in the
room was making the grand rush for
the Princess. 1t was all very breathIess
and gay and exciting. and the dough-
boys enjoyed 1t hugely. But better than
that, the Princess enjoyed it fully as
much, and announced that a Y. M. c. A
leave area was as good place for Prin-
cesses as it was for the A. E. F.

MILES OF FILM FOR SOLDIERS.

Paris, July 2.-More than 1000 miles
Of film were used by the Y. M. c. A.
during the month of April, in France
and the Rhineland, to provide picture
shows for audiences of more than 1000, 900
doughboys a week. MNre than 1000 pro-
lection machines were required for Civ
ing these performances and over 1,590
employees were engaged in the work
of the Cinema Department. The Y. M.
c. A. commenced its cinema work wi
the A. E.. +. just one year ago the last
was a record, and these showings were
given principally in Tie labor battalion
camps. But the popularity of the shows
and the demand for them was so great
that the work had to be extended until
now there are more than 4,3s2 showing
per week. During tNis twelve months
more than $4,000 shows we're presented
to audiences totalling more than 5o,0Oo.-
600 doughboys.

Boxing, as a side line to the ministry,
