CARDIFF, Wales, January 81
Correspondence of the Associated
Press) to the qualities
of some of the American troops in
France is given by a girl member of
the Waman's Auxiliary Army Corps
in a letter to her home folks here.
She writes:
I'VE are stationed inside an Ameri-
can camp in a huge old French cav
airy barracks. We are doing clerical
work with hundreds and hundreds of
Americans IN the central records Of
fee. We deal with the whole Ameri-
can Army records, and excepting the
cooks, Mattresses, ETC.. all we odd 400
girls are really the 'waacs Of the
American expeditionary force.
1--WE love the work. we love the
camp, and the boys look after us
well. They are splendid fellows. We
have comfortable rooms, a recreation
room and hockey and are as happy as
possible. And now we are getting up
q gand revue called the Battle of
Bourgas' / am to be French girl.
The chorus Is one Of the best, and the
music truly American. I'm afraid your
music over there when we come back
won't have enough pep in it Hon
estly, the boys can play. Even those
who are doing scavenger work in the
camp can play the violin and piano"

Belaseo.

Harry Lauder, inimitable singer Of
his own inimitable songs, brought
smiles and tears to large audience
at the Shubert-Belasco Theater last
night 1t was in the nature of a
home coming for Lauder. and of a.
welcoming home on the part of the
audience. and to say that all were
pleased was to put it mildly. For the
Harry Lauder of today is the old
Harry Lauder with a new note Of
seriousness which fits him well, and
makes his work deeper, truer than
ever before. His life in the trenches,
bringing entertainment to the COM
rarfes of his own son, who gave his
life in battle. is responsible for this
new note.
1t was dramatic change which
Lauder presented last night, when.
turning abruptly from the singing of
one Of his songs, he launched into a
serious plea for lasting peace If it
takes twenty years to make 1t. y.
Tears stood in his eyes Is he recalled
the "despica BILE Hun" and urged that
the kaiser and other high officials
Of Germany be punished.
The Scottish comedian, who belongs
TO the world, was at his best. His
songs are the modern counterparts
of stephen Fosters immortal songs,
and. like them, possess musical
quality and simplicity which sets
them entirely apart from so-cailed
popular song Lauder sings MS
songs with a peculiarly true voice. a
voice pleasing and melodious at all
times It's accuracy was put to test
last night when he sang, without or
chestra the favorite Wee Hoose
Mong the Heather" the song which
he declared the boys IN the trenches
liked best of all.
There Is Somebody Waiting for
Me" was the new song presented and
good one, which the singer shortly
induced the audience 70 sing with
him. The Characterization of the
sailor which accompanied this song
was in LADDERS best style. When l
was Twenty -One" depicted an old
fellow recalling the days OF his youth
and his many sweethearts Of those

quent intervals. Intestinal trouble has
compelled De ORC TO submit to a series
of serious surgical operation, and
while he always has emerged with
characteristic courage and grit there
cannot be any doubt that his vitality
suffered.
De ORC is not the only billiard ex
pert who has performed with remark
able skill after passing his fortieth
year. Maurice NignauX, the famous
French player. held the championship
at fS.l after he had passed his fiftieth
year, and he defeated players like
Schaefer. SIosson and others who were
younger than the Partisan. True, Wig
Eaux was eventually dethroned by an
eighteen year r-old boy, Willie Hoppe,
who beat the veteran expert at the
hardest game played--tS.1. 1t was not
that the Frenchman had lost his cum
ming at the time, but because the
youngster played phenomenally and
would have beaten any man in the
world at that stage of his career.
Maurice DAILY, George Slosson and
Jacob Schaefer the elder all played
great billiards after they had passed
the fifty-year mark, and the same is
true of many other experts.

WILL NOT SHIFT RUTH

BOSTON February Esd Barrow
manager of the Red Sox. has an
nounced that he will use Babe Ruth
in only one position next season, and
that the Red Sox star would not
be shifted around from the pitcher s
box to first base and the outfield, as
he was last year. when war exigen-
cies required the playing of Ruth in
positions which needed to be boil
stored up.
Il intend to pick one position for
Ruth, and will keep him there" said
Barrow. II have not yet decided
whether I will continue to make use
of his remarkable ability as a pitcher
or to play him in the outfield. where
his great batting skill will be a daily
asset TO the club. But I viii use
Ruth either as a pitcher or an out
fielder, as l do not think he can do
himself full justice if on his off days
he plays the outfeld."
1t is generally supposed here that If
the other Red SoX come up to expec-
tations Ruth will he made the regular
left fielder of the club, replacing
Lewis.

The Best Cough Syrup
Is IsHome-nadde
Here's an easy way to save So and
yet have the best cough remedy
you ever tried.

You've probably heard of this we'll
known plan of making cough syrup
at home. But have you ever used
It? When you do. you will under
stand why thousands of families,
the world over feel that they could
hardly keep house without it. It's
simple and cheap, but the way it
takes hold of a cough will quickly
earn it a permanent place in your
home.
Into a pint bottle pour u. ounces
of Pinex; then add plain granuIated
sugar syrup to fill up the pint. Or,
IL desired, use clarified moiasSes,
honey, or corn syrup, instead of
sugar syrup. Either way, it tastes
good, never spoils, and gives you a
full pint of better cough remedy
than you could buy ready=rnade for
three times its cost.
1t is really wonderful how quick
" this homemade remedy conquers
a cougf-ls1ialIy i'm "a hours or less.
1t seems to penetrate through every
mir passage, ioosens a dry, hoarse or
tight cough, lifts the phIegm, heals
the membranes, and gives almost inn
mediate relief. Splendid for throat
tickle, hoarseness, Group, bronchitis
and bronchial asthma.
Pinex is a highly concentrated
compound of genuine Norway pine
extract. and has been used for gem
erations for throat and chest all
mentS.
To avoid disappointment ask your
druggist for "2Is ounces of Pinex"
with directions. and don't accept
anything else. Guaranteed to give
absolute satisfaction or money re-
funded.
