but he grabbed dividing board and
there were just two wallops: the
board hit the Australians head and
the head hit the floor. Then half
dozen more pounced onto him and
gave him a real licking. When he
came to he had forgotten all about

Not long after this the Russian doc

was no black typhus in our barracks
and we were allowed the freedom of
the camp except that we coulI not

he wanted to see him all the more.
A day or two after the order 1 was
standing outside the barracks door
when saw this fellow come out with
dividing board In his hand. / thought
he was going to smash somebody with
it, so / stood by. But he stopped over
and jammed one end of the board
against the threshold Of the door,
scratched the ground with the farther
end of the board and measured again.
He kept this up, length by length, in
the direction Of the Russian barracks.
The sentry in the yard stopped and
stared at him, but the fellow kept
right on, paying no attention to any
body. Pretty soon he was right by the
sentry's feet and thought any minute
the sentry would give him the butt,
but he just stared a while and let him
pass. That lad measured the whole
distance to the Russian barracks, went
inside, stayed a while and calmly
stroIled back with the board under his
arm. When he reached our barracks
again he told us he had found vino
mine. What he had found was some
thing not so unusual--a boneheaded
German.
There was q lot of bamboo near the
Russian barracks and the Russians
made baskets out of 1t and turned
them in to the Germans. For this they
got all the good jobs In the kitchen
and had a fine chance to get more to
eat. But they were treated like dogs

Velvet, little satin. some soutache
braid, with n superb gift for designing
and perfect taste, combined TO make
the beautiful, and apparently simple
afternoon gown which cOmpels our ad-
miratiOn here. 1t may not be anything
like MS simple rs it looks; there are
subtle means for arriving ut such
beauty of line and adjustment, but
they are the technique of the artist
and go unnoticed, except by the prac-
ticed eyes of other artists. This Is
the sort of dress that would please
the painter of women in any genera
tion, and it will delight the lady of
today. 1t is portrayal of the mode at
its best and no one could ask for a
better drapIng of the human form dl-

Dark brown velvet with considera-
bic luster was chosen for this frOck.
In the cut of the neck and the shape
of the sleeves, in the hang of the skirt
and its decoration and length, are to
be noted touches that reveal how art
fully the latest style features have
been utilized by the designer. The
skirt reaches almost to the instep and
nurrows little toward the bottom.

l can now begin at the beginning.
of our voyage and tell you where all
have been.
We left Camp Mills on the seventh
of August. Went on board the Meta
gonea ship and spent the first night
anchored out at sea, just few miles
from harbor. We pulled out for
Liverpool, England, The next after
noon about four o'clock, where we
landed the twentieth OF August.
On the ship we were very crowded
and had lDor accommodations. There
we're about three thousand, five hun
dred soldiers on our ship. Some of
the ships are larger and carry as
many as ten thousand soldiers at one
time.
We were with convoy of fourteen
other ships loaded with soldiers, one
large battle ship, and several subma-
rine chasers. We travelled in zig
gag course going away up north,
where we saw q huge iceberg float
ing around which seemed strange to
me as it was the middle of August
Most of the boys were sea-sick for
! several days. | was sick only one
day, and besides that day / enjoyed
the voyage very much, considering the
| length Of the trip and poor accommo-
dations. Some of the larger trans
ports came across to France in seven
days. So | am in hopes of riding one
of those back. Although we can make
| it back in several days less now any
way, because we can go directly for
our port on the way back to the good
old u. S. A.
At Liverpool we took train early
on the morning of the twenty-frst.
The coaches wouldn't hold but eight.
We stepped in the side of the coach
like getting in a large carriage with
{ glass doors, and sat facing each other.
We rode about all day through Eng
land, which is very hilly and as pretty
carried us to what they call a rest
camp. 1t was awful, don't see how it
got that name. We stayed in this
camp two days and nights. From
here we hiked eight miles, with our
packs on our backs. Several Of the
boys gave out and dropped along the
road. The rest of us hikod to South
Hampton, where we took boat to
cross the English Channel for France.
That same afternoon about five o'clock
we started on our second voyage. You
can cross the channel In few hours
in peace times, but 1t took us until
one o'clock that night to go to La
Havre France, where we got off the
ship. We marched through the town,
which is several miles longto our box
cars. / will remember those box cars

FLORIDA NOW IN DRY COLUMN
No More Liquors, Wine or Beer to BE
Had Under New Law.

Tampa, Fla, Dec. 31.-Thc entire
State Of Florida became "dry' at mid
night tonight, when the constitutional
amendment making sale, manufacture
or transportation of liquors, wines or
beers illegal in this State went into
effect.
This city was really the last stand
Of the whiskey interests in the large
cities Of Florida and in only one other
county was the sale of liquor being
carried on. The mail order and pack
age houses operating here managed to
get rid of their last remnants Of
stocks today. One large concern car
ried on an auction sale for two days
this week to close out.
A feature Of the new law is that a
fine of $500 or six months imprison-
mcnt, or both, is the minimum penalty
for drunkenness, first offensc, and a
fine Of $4,000 or three years in Jail,
or both, for the second offense.

REEDS WORDS CAUSE STIR

Paris, Dec. 31.-The speech of Sena-
tor Reed, Of Missouri, in regard to a
league of nations, delivered in New
York Sunday, has been cabled to Paris
and has created considerable stir in
American official circles here.
Members Of the American delega-
ton said that, although the speech
was receiving consideratioY1hey were
not ready today to make any state
mcnt on the subject. Unofiicially they
have been at pains to point out that
the American idea of 81 league of ma
tions is not in accord with the conccp-
tion expressed by Mr.. Reed
They say the plan they have con
sidcred does not contemplate any alb
rogation of the power of Congress to
declare war and would not place the
American navy under control of an
international body which might order
it about.
