POILU GIVES PREMIER
 HIS OWN WAR CROSS

PARIS, March 13 Correspondence of the Associated Press) ).-Premier Clemenceau was opening his mail this morning, hurriedly, as is his custom, merely glancing at some letters, mak- ing short annotations on others, in a fair way to dispose of his courier in the usual few minutes. Suddenly, upon opening a somewhat soiled and cheap envelope, the contents fell to the floor with metallic sound.
 The Premier picked them up, read the letter slowly, then read 1t again, and then sat there staring at the paper with tears filling his eyes in spite of his efforts to suppress them The letter read:
 "They have not given you the war cross; here is mine. It has only two stars, while you deserve two palms, but it is the best I can offer; here it is."
 It was signed: "An old poilu."
 And the grand old man" of France who with dry eyes has looked upon the horrors of two wars, picked up the little rusty piece of metal, the ribbon of which is soiled by the rain of the trenches or besmattered with the blood of it's former owner, and wept.
 "It might have been given to me by the President of the republic, or by marshal of France, with great pomp humble 'poilu,' I shall treasure it for ever," he said.

APPETITES OF AMERICANS
 PUZZLE FRENCH COOKS

PARIS, March (Correspondence of the Associated Press). Cooks at the hotel where the hundreds of Ameri cans connected with the peace confer ence are staying are amazed at the appetites of the Americans. The American breakfast upset all calcula- tions in the French hotel accustomed to supplying guests with rolls and cof- fee as an early morning meal. Wild calls for ham and eggs, beefsteaks, chops, oatmeal and hot cakes sur prised the French cooks, who after weeks of catering to the hungry Ameri- cans have not become reconciled to the American breakfast menu.
 The American fondness for hors d'oeuvres also caused consternation Great dishes of beet pickles, potato salad, sardines, cold slaw and other relishes served as a preliminary to the conventional French dinner, dis appear so rapidly that 1t has been nec- essary to employ many additional cooks to prepare delicacies of this sort. Americans help themselves so freely to this initial course that they fre- quently have little appetite for the soup, fish and other dishes which fol- low.
 As the hotel kitchen can draw on army supplies for its food, the Ameri- cans have many delicacies not avail able generally in Paris cafes. Ices, ice cream and pastry made with real sugar are offered to the peace delega- tion. In most Paris hotels and cafes saccharine is used for such purposes, and even for sweetening coffee The hotel where the Americans stay also has an abundance of white flour and genuine white bread. Elsewhere in Paris the bread is dark, and even pastry, when available, is made from brown flour.

MIGHT SHIP SOME OF
 THEM TO RESPIRATORY

LONDON, April 4.-There are one and half million women in this coun- try who will never have the chance of getting married, is the statement of Miss Norah March, editor of National Health. In 1917 there was a surplus of 1,337,OO0 marriageable women over marriageable men, and since then there have been the war casualties of 1918.
 Miss March says the emigration will remove a few of these safp1us women, while economic independence will prevent women from marrying men for the sake of home.
 Many men and women in this age of modern advancement" says Miss March, "are getting different views from those held in the past, and re- gard women's right to motherhood as a supreme individual prerogative Having such wide choice of wives, the question remains as to whether men will choose the best and strong est women, as upon the women will depend largely the future human race, since the best of manhood has been cut off. The choice really rests with the woman, for with her is the right of refusing an offer of marriage"

age of this field has followed in many instances the lines of least resistance created by fault zones, and it there fore follows that the pioneer mining which has naturally started upon the outcrops exposed by stream valleys will, in general, be in the most dis turbed portions of the district.
 "The prospecting has consisted of churn drilling, open-cutting, driving a few crosscuts and sinking some shall low test pits.
 "Inasmuch as there are six different beds, all of different thickness, under exploration at Eska, and as the dip varies from 10 degrees to 60 degrees, no one method of extraction can be applied to the entire series," says MT. Smith. However, all the coal so far produced has been recovered by the room and pillar method, the room width in general being twenty feet, with thirty-foot pillars between. There have been slight variations to this rule occasionally, due to faulted or broken condition of the ground. All the rooms are run on sights, and where the beds are parallel the pillars of the upper beds are kept vertically over those of the lower.
 "The room and pillar method, with the rooms driven straight up the pitch, was adopted because the demand for coal was acute, and this offered the greatest immediate supply. At some future date it will be possible to ex- pertinent with other methods, al though the recovery so far has been excellent, and it is doubtful if any other method would give as satisfac- tory results, as the system is flexible and lends itself readily to the vary ing conditions met underground.
 "There were eight slight, five seri- ous and no fatal accidents. There were approximately 57,O00 man-shifts worked, both surface and under ground. The time lost due to acci- dents amounted to 30k shifts for the slight accidents and 14S shifts for the serious.
 "At the time of the influenza cpl demic last winter one of the bunk houses was converted into tempo rary hospital. There were fifty-fve cases, three of which developed into pneumonia and resulted in the deaths of those afflicted

COAL RESERVES BLOCKED OUT
 ATESKACREEK

ANCHORAGE, April Especial to the Daily Times) s).-Sufficien reserve coal deposits have been blocked out at the mine operated by the Alaskan fifty-eight miles northeast of Anchor age, to insure to the commission an adequate fuel supply for several years reports Sumner G. Smith, who has charge of the commissions coal-min ing department. Further prospecting he declares, continues in order to de termine the regular area of the coal deposits at Eska, and to discover, if possible, beds of better quality. The output at present has been raised to a point high enough to afford not only an ample supply of fuel for the construction and operation of the gov. ernment railroad, but also a surplus sufficiently large to protect against Interrupted traffic and accidents at the mine.
 With respect to the geology of the Eska mine, MT. Smith says:
 "The general structure at Eska is synclinal, although there are faults parallel to and at various angles to the axis of the syncline which obscure much of the structural detail. The surface of the area under considera- tion slopes gently toward the south, the waters of Eska creek, which drop approximately 400 feet in three miles, cutting valley from 20 to 200 feet below the general level of the ground. As the coal measures were folded and broken long before the formation of the present topography, the beds are not parallel to the sur face. They appear iA the bluffs which form the sides of the creek as series of rather distorted semicircles, one above another, the lower portion of the areas being concealed by the de- bris on the bank and in the creek bottom.

CHEVY CHASE RACKETERS

Chevy Chase. which is leading the
Washington Tennis Association with two
wins in as many contests, will play Co
lumbla on the latter's courts tomorrow
afternoon, starting at 3 o'clock. Chevy
Chase defeated Columbia in previous
match and also scored over Dunbar
ton in the only other contest played in
the circuit this season.
Chevy Chase will find the Columbia
team more formidable tomorrow than
1t was when they met previously. Fred
Harris will play for the Columbia and
with he and Connie Doyle for the
singles and paired in the doubles. three
matches are as good as chalked up
against Chevy Chase. AS six singles
and three doubles constitute a match
1t means that Chevy Chase will have to
win Ave Of the other six contests to
come out on top.
Doyle and Harris likely will play
against Moore and Morgan, whom they
defeated in the title match of the Mid
die Atlantic championship doubles.
