PARIS, France, September 3.-The
American expeditionary force is no
longer In existence. but a new organ
ization has taken it's place. With the
departure Of Gen. Pershing from Brest
Monday the Army he commanded
through SO many glorious exploits
ceased to exist Hereafter the Amer
ican forces in Europe will be divided
into two parts. those in France and
England, under the command of Gen.
William D. Connor. and those in Ger
many, under Gen. Henry II. Allen. The
total number of Americans is about
4S, 900 men. of whom 1900 are in
Germany and the remainder in France
and England.
At Gen. Connor's headquarters. at
IS Avenue Montaigne. in Paris. it is
said that the generals principal task
will be to clear up odds and ends left
by the American expeditionary force.
All troops. no matter what their
service. will be shipped home as fast
as possible. Indeed. at present they
are being relieved at a rapid rate.
Officers and men employed at the
peace conference are being demob-
lized in Paris or sent Immediately to
the base ports. Several thousand
men are now waiting at Brest and
ST. Nazaire and will be en- route for
home within three days.
This job Of clearing up is not so
simple as it sounds. 1t includes the
work of guarding prisoners of war.
discharging foreign labor employed
by the American expeditionary force.
settling legal claims and the like. and
will take at least a month or two
longer. So long as any soldiers re-
main abroad there must be medical
and quartermaster detachments to
care for them likewise. The huge
ordnance and supply depot at Mon
tour, near st. Nazaire. has not yet
been turned over to the French. The
Americans wish to verify every arti-
Gle in the warehouses. 1t is inevita-
BILE, therefore. that the disappearance
of the doughboy from Europe will
take little longer than was ex-
pected.
In Germany 1000 or more men will
remain at Coblenz SO long as the War
Department secs fit to keep them,
there. In France their release de-
pends principally upon the speed with
which German prisoners can be re-
patriated. very small corps of 500
or 800 men may remain in Paris un-
til the beginning of next year.

Future Justice.

China looks to the league of nations

Paris" declared Tai Chi Quo, technical
delegate of China to the peace confer

China confidently expects the league
of nations to reject the principles in re-
spect to the far eastern affairs that pre-
vailed in Paris he said. 1.-The league
of nations has been a Chinese policy for
centuries; her people are reasonable and
averse to war They have no doubt that

How to Avoid Being . Bore.
BY DOROTHY DIX.
The Worlds Highest Paid wo-
man Writer.
toopyrisht. iss, Ths Wheeler syndicats)

Do you ever wonder IL you are
as great bore as such and such a
man and woman whom you know.
who go their devastating way
through society, martyrizing all
they meet with their dullness and
stupidity?
The worst part of 1t is that there
Is no infallible way for ascertain
ing whether we are bores or not,
because good manners demand that
our fellow creatures camouflage
their feelings while they are being
bored to death.
TO avoid being a bore is not SO
much a question of doing as Of
don't-ing, and the very first don't
is:
Don't talk about yourself. OF
| course, this Is a hard thing, be-
, cause the only subject that most Of
us really enthuse over Is the eternal
I. and it seems beyond question that
the world is waiting with baited
breath to hear the most minute de-
| tails OF what we had for breakfast,
and where we spent last evening.
The second don't is: Don't tell your
] troubles. II there IL one person
more wearisome than another and
at whose approach we beat II. II
the going is good. II is the man or
| woman with a tale OF woe.
The third don't is: Don't ride
your hobbyhorse when you go Wis
iting. Don't imagine because you
are obsessed by one subject that
everyone else is as interested in It
as you are.
Above all-and this Is the don't
est don't of all: Don't tell the same
stories over and over again, and
don't serve up as your own the
hoary chestnuts in the daily press.
Everybody reads the papers.
In a word, il you will refrain
from talking about yourself and
your own affairs you will never be
a bore. And il you will encourage
other people to talk about their af-
fairs you will become a fascinator.
Which is to say we may either be
bores or the bored. Which would
you rather be?
