 The ceremony at the Cenotaph was opened formally by a delegation of city councillors, escorted in state by the republican guards. This delega- tiOn laid a magnificent palm on the casket, as the city's tribute.
 Mourners in Procession.
 Each family that mourned for some one of it's members was allowed to bring a single flower. As these came hour after hour the empty casket soon was buried.

This was visualized by the absence from the Arc de Triomp phe of the chains which had barred the passa ge under the arch since Prus- sia's victory of 1870 and by the thought that Frances honor had been avenged.

Uncle John rather doubts 1t. Most

However, and only by way OF ex-

Fosters idea to invite the girls who
work in this place to make free of
her rooms during their noon hour
when the days are cold. She is us
ually free during the day and all of
the boys are away at work.
So, although there is not much
activity very apparent. to the casual
observer, the place is more active
han it was during wartime, and If
applications continue to come in for
rooms it may be necessary to use
another floor of the building.
Miss Foster wishes to announce
that since the Salvation Army drive
there Is no more house to house can
wasting or requesting donations on
the streets for the organization ex-
sept when they hold their usual
street services, and anyone getting
donations in this way is not connect

This is a denial that the Salvation
Army solicits any aid whatever
through any organization such as the
Pillar of Fire or the Volunteers of
America. The Salvation Army is con
Quoting absolutely no house to house
