to that tropical town. The ride along the Mediterranean coast and through the bronzed mountains I never will forget. Incidentally it might be men. toned that paying railroad fare was the least of our worriments. Tanks ride in nothing but premiere classe" and if approached by a conductor a pack of makings or a bit of ignorance will serve as pass-on. The last resort is to spring a cigarette coupon or an aged baggage check. The slogan Is to go on and carry your own sugar, which is scarce and a luxury to French people.
 We visited Toulon and Cannes en route to Nice, where our headquarters were at the Rue des Anglais, one of the most fashionable hotels along the Ri viera. Here we were given most luxu- rious chambers for ten francs a day Time and space will not permit de- tails of what goes with a Yank at such a palace. We found the resort at the opening of it's winter season and saw Rue des Anglais and Monte Carlo highly illuminated for the first time since the outbreak of war. We SAW boys who had long been in the trenches but were now riding in company with charming mesdemoiselles in horse drawn voitures. We strolled along the great promenade with the pale green surf beating along the pebbled beacn We shook hands with boys whom we had not seen in the States in wears and visited every point of interest where Tanks received glowing tributes from flower girls and retired mer- chants of worldwide financial fame We sat along the promenade and talk.

 Families with large mOtorcarS peck- oned to limping Tanks to join them in tours along the Cote d'Azur and to dine in cafes built over the sea, where fish could be seen at home through large glass boundaries. We ate fresh figs and olives, drank choice wines and smoked good old American cigars, pur- chased at Red Cross canteens. Polish boys from all parts gave us the pres ent popular cordial saying, You tell 'em boys, we were gassed." It was the first time in France to hear the pop ulation sing and to see them dance. The people are still holding "belles fetes." At every resort where we visit ed people appeared to celebrate the ab- tlication of Bill in an entirely different nature from the previous point where we had been feted with confetti. Un- less you kissed a mademoiselle who had hurled confetti at you she would plead "Non baiser pour moi?"
 Monte Carlo, as picturesque and ac. tive as ever, received us as far as the provincial law allowed. One day I took a chance, sneaked behind one of a great number of guards and watched the civilians around the famous wheel It reminded me of the stock exchanges, but more silent. In my efforts to get out of the place before being taken captive I opened a door and found my self inside one of the most elaborately furnished auditoriums I ever hope to visit Here l found wealthy appearing men and women listening to an orches- tra of some fifty pieces, from which

 This part of the famous gambling house is open to Americans during the daily concerts. I, in time met Grossman and Mcconnell after the concert. We had some tea and set out in our machine for the Italian border. Here we exchanged greetings with French and Italian guards. Many officers and nurses were met along the mountains, where we picked sweetly perfumed roses from ancient courtyards. We viewed COWS and goats grazing on sharp-edged sum- mits. We met a polite negro who sug- gested that we have lunch at his cafe. We were surprised at his Eng fish and asked him where he learned it all. He said that he learned his English at Monte Carlo, but was born in Virginia We made several trips in the Alps and found great pleasure in visiting the villas occupied by natives. The signs one observes along the routes are quite amusing in the efforts of the proprietors to attract the attention of English-speaking tour tsts. An American soldier, however. is not classed as tourist, but a guest in most cases. saw one sign that read: Walk too slow, please;" an- other advertising an American bar was Don't Mistook."

 It was in Marseilles where we talk. cd for the first time in eight months with American sailors. Several had come from League Island, Philadel- phia, and were glad to sip wine with boys in khaki. We told them how the Huns were being chased and they told of their trip from South America. The excitement of people, voltures, trucks and tramWays was almost too much to endure for men who had been We exchanged smiles with widowed, dark-skinned soldiers wearing rings in their ears and animal hides for wear ing apparel We saw Hindus going into movie shows with scanty attire and, moreover, we talked with young sters, wearing blue uniforms and tam- o'Shanter hats, who came from Sha- mok1n, Scranton, Pittsburgh and Cam den. They were in the Polish army We met a crowd of civilians who yelled, Gangway-coming through hot stuff" These men had new tan shoes and American fashioned cloth ing. Upon satisfying our curiosity we learned from them that they were Greeks coming from the States to help the worlds cause
 AS we rode about the bustling boule- wards of Marseilles we did not know whether to board a wagon" across the sea for Africa or sail to Egypt.

If you want to realize just how the trench-worn sol diers are enjoying the fruits and flow CTS of victory board P. L. M. rapide and visit the Riviera, place respect ed as being the most beautiful spot in Europe. I have the good fortune of seeing this captivating coast at it's revival of ease and contentment. When word came to the Nice press that the armistice had been signed men from almost every nation in the world gave vent to their feelings. Sol diers from almost every nation in the world are in some way or another en- gagged along the Riviera You can rest assured that American boys are ace-high and sitting on the world,' as the popular saying goes. A Tank always warrants a second glance on Rue des Anglais, where only the rich est of the rich would dare to display their fnery. Mesdemoiselles are ae plentiful 2s the flowers and in keep ing with the beauty thereof.
 After two days and 9 night of weari- soroc travel we landed in Marseilles, truly one of the most interesting ports in the world today. You can imagine the scenes along the wharves and rues. with Arabs in native costume, Algerians, Hindus, Africans, Moroc- cans, Indians. Poles. Greeks, Guant-
