TYPICAL OF WHOLE NATION
Impossible to State Just What Part Of
the Country Splendid Ameri-
cans Came From

Recently we sat in refreshment
room of a railroad station convers-
ing casually with a foreign officer.
Suddenly tall men In olive drab be-
gan to come in by groups to wash
up. They were on their way. The
officer, though he tried TO 20 on
talking, couldn't keep HE eyes off
the men, and his responses became
more and more absent as they con:
tinued to crowd in.
"My Godp he exclaimed, "whcre
do they come from ?"
Then we looked at them. Not
one seemed less than six feet tall.
They were thin, hard, big-fsted,
crag-faced lot of men, the color Of
new bronze, each with two deep
lines around the mouth, gentle with
each other, speaking softly, but GER
tainly the most formidable German
killers you could find in all the
world. We should not have noticed
them particularly but for the Off
GERS dazed appreciation.
"They are probably from some
where in the mountains" we said
at last.
The officer gave us a strange look.
Such men as these, and we took
them so much for granted that we
couldn't tell where they came from

TWO STORIES OF RUPPREcHT
According to the Second, the Crown
Prince Of Bavaria Had Some
Good Qualities.

Prince Rupprecht of Bavaria
forms the subject of two little stories
in the Paris Temps, but whether
they are true or not | cannot say. I
pass them on, therefore, with re-
serve.
The first relates to an occasion
when, on hearing of a fine cook in
lille, he ordered her to cook a din
ner for him. Not content with this
he insisted that she should sit al the
table with him afterward and help
him eat It'll
The incident is worthy Of the ira
ditions of King Ludwig, but one
must confess it reads oddly.
The other story is more credible
one. The scene again is Lille. A
German officer named Pericles en-
tered the museum, had look round,
and carried away some of the OBJ
jects which appealed to him. When
the director protested, the officer re-
torted that Lille was now a German
town, but he did not explain how
that fact gave him the right to in
dulge his individual fancles.
Then the director went to Prince
Rupprecht in despair. The prince
promised to look into the matter,
and visited the museum a few days
afterward, taking back some of the
stolen objects.
"You won't hear much more Of
Pericles," he said Significantly
