There was supper, a rapid-fire jour

adding its mite to the tremendous fig-
ures of men fed which the camp has ac-
cumulated for instance, about 400, 600
homeward bound Yanks were given
three meals each here during the month
of April. The next step toward home
led one through rollcall and physical in
specton, a lightning like operation in
which medical officers, seated at vantage
points in the big inspection building,
poked glowing electric light bulbs close
to the white bodies of the men, stripped
to the waist, as they were hustled
through the aisles like sheep, bleating
"Ah-h!" when told to do so.
About forty seconds completed the
race, for race it was, every one in
volvcd seeming eager to get the boys
home. Contagious and communicable

Next, dclousing. This necessitated
short hike to Camp No. z, where
was the big plant that dealt death
daily to thousands, perhaps mlllions'
of "cootics.' Who knows how
many?
DeIousing a Real Experience
Delousing deserves to hold a high
place among the peaks in the range OF
| human experience.
The "victims," with dusk rapidly
overtaking them, were lined up on the
parade ground in front Of the delouslng
plant, from the spacious depths OF
which northwesterly breeze bore a
sweetly sickening odor. =.

Even Delouse Their Money
Cursing happily, the ranks of pos

and, following instructions, rolled the
extra o. d. shirt, extra suit of
underwear. three extra pairs of socks,
towel, three blankets and overcoat in
bundle to be deloused. All else

left on the ground. Continuous
streams of men poured through the
plant. Each soldier in turn-they
passed through in hasty droves-under-

popularity OF the rumor lies In the
fact that, the more corpulent 1t be-
comes, the more rapidly and easily 1t

Dame Rumor Runs Rampant
Here are some of the rumors that
assailed us, defenseless as we were,
with nothing to do but to wait and to
hear of this regiment or that battalion
Of our division embarking and to see
this ship and that sailing away to the
west:
First. Our "paper work" Is not
completed.
Second. We will sail at o'clock
tomorrow morning. Our boat is the
Kroonland. Nobody knows how to spell
it, but that is the name.
Third. The Eighthy eighth Division
has arrived in camp "a fact) and will
60 out ahead of us mot fact).
Fourth. The officers names on the
passenger list are not complete, and n
new list must be prepared. Sergeant
Harry Rohrer, of Lancaster, PaS who
typed the first list, said it required
three hours to prepare list.
Fifth. Some second lieutenants re-
fused to ride second class and so our
boat sailed without us.
Sixth. Our boat is sixty miles out Mt
sea and will arrive soon.
Seventh. Division headquarters has
been ordered to Russia.
Eighth. Our boat arrived last night
and will sail tomorrow night. Lieu
tenant Freas told somebody so. The
name Of the boat sounds linke Kronigen.
Celestial Ship Favored
Ninth. We will sail in a Chinese ship.
Tenth. Our boat will be loaded at .
o'clock some afternoon. The s Q S
man who said so didn't know what
afternoon.
Eleventh. The staff officers like their
quarters at st. .Nazare so we'll that
they aren't in hurry to get home.
They enjoy the bathing on the beach.
Twelfth. We are waiting for the
liner Paris to be finished.
Thirteenth. Our boat is in drydock
being repaired.
Fourteenth. The s o s inspector
discovered that one man didn' have two
extra pairs Of shoelaccs and are hold
ing up the division.
Fifteenth. The camp has been con-
verted into an old soldiers home and
we have been selected as the first
occupants.
Sixteenth. The civilian employment
cards, which every man must fill out
before embarking, were defective be
cause one man wrote that he didn't need
help to get a job.
Saturday, May IA drizzling rain
at breakfast caused the morale ther-
mometer to register 1000, for it was
recalled that rainy Saturday was an
ideal day for a Seventy ninth Division
outfit to move. However, the sky cleared
and there was no move. Many of us
had French money exchanged and fol
American currency at a rate of sos
francs for 81. A reminder of the hoo
doc that some assert follows the Sey
enty ninth Division came when Corporal
Paul Tate, Of State College, Pa, tn,
headquarters postmaster. broke bone
of his left ankle in friendly scuf1c
He was taken to the hospital, unable
to go home with the division.
A repetition of the physical examina
tion came during the afternoon, and
then the blessed orders to be prepared
to board ship on the morrow.

Islam.

The reports Of disquiet in Islam are
not inconsistent with the failure OF
the Mohammedan world to answer
the Sultan's call to n holy war.
Turkeys leadership was political
rather than religious. and the procla-
nation of the jihad was manifestly
intended to aid one set Of Christian
nations in war in which Moslems
were fighting against Moslems. The
present symptoms Of unrest, on the
other hand, arise from causes appeal
ing to the religious feelings Of devout
Mohammedans.
At the beginning Of the war a mere
10 per cent. Of the 230, 100000 follow
ers Of Islam were in politically indie
pendent States, while nearly three
quarters were under Christian rule,
and the disproportion has since grown
greater through Turkeys losses of
territory. Islam resented this, Islam
preached of true believers oppressed
and prosecuted by Christians, Islam
organized and urged its adherents to
strive for independence. Now definite
issues between Moslems and Chris
tians are presenting themselves.

l Drought Under . League Of
Nations?

BY the terms Of the Eighteenth
Amendment to the Constitution Of the
United States the manufacture, sale
or transportation of intoxicating
liquors. the Importation thereof into
or the expectation thereof from the
United States and all territory sub
ject to the jurisdiction thereof, for
beverage purposes" Is prohibited.
This amendment becomes effective on
January 16. 1920, and it is provided
In the amendment that "the Congress
and the several States shall have con-
current power to enforce this article
by appropriate legislation"
An interesting question at once
arises as to the status of the traffic in
intoxicating liquors for beverage pur-
poses in lands over which the United
States might exercise authority as
mandatory Of league Of nations, as
Stunning that such league be formed
hereafter and that this nation accept
designation as mandatory. Would
the territory Of community thus
brought under our protection be
within the meaning ofthe prohibition
amendment territory subject to the
jurisdiction of the United States" and
consequently within the zone Of con-
stitutional prohibition? Or would It
be held that, so far as prohibition
was concerned, this territory was be-
yond the jurisdiction Of the United
States?
Unquestionably many Of the advo-
Gates Of prohibition will insist that it
is the moral duty OF the people of the
United States to impose the benefits
Of prohibition on all persons over
whom its authority may be extended
and the legal duty Of their official rep
resentatives to enforce q condition of
bone dryness wherever the opportu-
nifty presents itself. They may be ex-
pected to exert all their influence to
bring about a construction Of the
amendment in accordance with their
opinions.

discussion in the future IL league Of

fairs of the world.

promise of assistance from America in

protection or beneit of America. and II

THE OLD DAYS OF PLENTY.
Thoughts Awakened by q Menu Of the
Vanished Clarendon Hotel.

To THE EDITOR OF THE SUN-Sir:

wine list Of the Clarendon Hotel, G.
Kerner and J. Birch. proprietors, New
York, June 81. 1858, and while ponder
ing over some OF the startling differences
from the present day vogue manifested
therein, I became curious as to the loca-
ton Of this hosiery. which is depicted
in a quaint woodcut which adorns the
menu as situated on a corner, with
other corners.
One of tho things which strike a
modern is the number and hours of
meals. There was breakfast from to
10; lunch. ~ to 2; dinner, 2:45 to
5 80: tea, s to $3.50. and. finally. supper.
10 to 10. wonder what the cooks ana
walters unions were doing then. 1t
was table d'hote, of course. I forget
dinner was not from GAS TIL 80; It
was at PAS and at 6 40.
The wine list shows how much further
a dollar went In those days The highest
priced champagne was $3.50 a quart.
Madeiras and sherrys. burgundy and
port averaged higher than champagne.
changed so in recent years? can
understand why all have advanced. but
why is champagne so much dearer pro-
portionately?
No whiskey or beer appeared on the
list Is this because they supplied none
in the house. or because these are not
included in wine" list?
suppose these are futile epecula-
lions, doubly SO in view Of the immi-
nence Of July I. But at any rate give
me. II you can. the fond memory of
