this sort of theft, has there not?''
The Tribune man asked.
$50 much," NJ. Cassellari replied,
that hardly theater in Paris to-
day but employs a detective, who is
stationed unobtrusively near the
cloakroom and who watches the
crowd. This has reduced the num-
Der of losses, but has not entirely
rid US Of the nuisance"
All this has to do with Paris, and
with a condition which is perhaps
the natural, as it is certainly the re-
grettable, result of five years war.
Through the long agony of those
years the tension has been so ex-
treme that a relaxing, spring back
to condition as much below the
normal as the heroic determination
Of war was above it, is to be ex-
pected. Paris is the heart of France,
and it is also in many ways the mir
ror of France. The image it gives
may be distorted, but it is neverthe-
less an image, and what is true of
Paris Is true also, though with modi-
fications, of the country generally.
Relaxation after strain has meant a
loosening of moral tension.

War Camp Shopping Bureau Disbands

ME seven ages Of man---and
Of woman, If she has that
M many - are represented in
the record Of the Shopping
Bureau Of the War Camp Community
Service. Baby carriages, school
clothes and playthings, candy and
flowers, and even diamond rings,
household furnishings and officers
supplies, even fireside slippers, are
among the articles which Miss Ga
brlelle Rosiere, head of the bureau,
has listed as purchased by the off,
GERS and their families who took
advantage of the service.
Moreover, more than quarter
of a million dollars was saved to
persons in the army and navy ser
vices through the shopping bureau
during the year and half Of its ex-
istence.
Thousands Of men and women
found a guide and reliable adviser to
help them find the best places, large
and small, general and "specialties,"
expensive and reasonable" And the
saving to their pocketbooks loomed
high in the service rendered. Dis
counts were obtained by the bureau
on many articles. In round num-
bers the saving to the clientele
amounted to 100000.
Under the supervision of Miss Ro-
siere the reliability Of the informa-
ton given out was kept up to the
mark. Personal investigation Of the

wares and the general reliability Of
an establishment was always made
before service customer was di-
rected there. Several hundred shops
were available before the bureau
reached its closing date. In many in
stances officers have chanced to 20
to one of the discount giving stores
without knowing Of the discounts
offered, and the obliging clerk has
suggested a postponement Of the
purchase until the customer hunted
up Miss Rosiere and obtained the
important bit Of pasteboard which
meant money In his pocket.
Carefully itemized loose leaf files
were kept at the Office for ready ref
erence on any articles asked for by
an applicant. If he wanted to fur
nish little apartment, to the front
came the bureau with a list of house
furnishings that looked like furni-
ture catalogue, and soon the home
was fitted out with all necessary be-
longings.
Flowers for the ''best girl" and,
perhaps not so long after, a request
for jewelry store that "has awfully
good diamonds," were asked for
many time. And baby carriages
and bootees were anxiously inquired
for by young wives.
Imagination, indeed, was an i'm
portant asset to every successful
worker at the desk. Keeping the

subscribe to the damnable German
doctrine that war is a "biological
necessity"
There are Eastern ingredients
TOO, In the sorry salad of wrong
doing. France brought to the West
front uncounted thousands of An
namites to serve in labor battalions,
and to these the British added a
still greater number of Chinese,
recruited in the neighborhood of
Welhalwel, given a minimum of
training and shipped round the
world via Canada to do the spade
work Of war There are thousands
of these Orientals still in France
and they present a problem of their
own.
1t is in the northeast of France
in the wilderness of the devastated
region-that they work. There are
places lying not far from the coolie
camps where the white inhabitants
do not dare go out Of doors after
nightfall, so great is the terror in
spired by small bands of reckless
yellow men. Cases Of attacks have
been SO numerous, there have been
so many stabbings, shootings and
stranglings that when darkness falls
the French population chooses dis
cretion rather than valor and re-
tires to pray for the day when the
East will have moved toward the
rising sun.
Last but not least in the story of
New-York tribune., 1920-01-25

Sunday afternoons was a task Of
marshaling forces that meant many
an hour Of careful planning.
Our volunteers deserve praise"
declared Miss Rosiere, ~for the way
IN which they responded to the needs
of the work. Many of them were
young society girls who, especially
since the armistice, had social obi
cations to meet; but l can recall
many Of them who would appear
bright and prompt at 9 in the morn
ing, after strenuous hours Of dane
ing the night before. One girl told
me that she had had her maid call
her early in the face Of her mothers
instructions that she be allowed to
sleep late.
incidental assistance to the off,
GERS was frequently rendered. One
lieutenant, who had purchased a
suit of clothes with our discount
card, reported later in eome distress
that he had sent the trousers to q
tailor for pressing, and, weeks after,
they had not been returned.
Chuckles followed my stern reproach
to the tailor per telephone: Lieu
tenant M. had been without his trou-
sers for five weeks, and that Is en-
tirely too long!' The tailor never
did find the missing garment, but he
refunded the cost to the officer"
In the period Immediately follow
ing the armistice many men who
received their discharges resnlisted
New-York tribune., 1920-01-25

for further service overseas, while
others returned to civilian life. A
clearing house of equipment was
established at the shopping desk
and, by the simple expedient of
keeping book in which e.sficexs with
clothing or arms or other forms of
equipment which they no longer
needed might offer them for sale.
those continuing IN the service
might refit themselves with second
hand articles in good condition and
at low cost. The owners were re
quested TO sign theiY names and ad
dresses 80 that prospective buyers
could communicate with them
promptly. Several hundred dollars
worth of used equipment thus
changed hands, to the mutual benefit
Of both sides in the transactions.
No more happy group of "cus
toners" came to the bureau than
the women in uniform. These
women from overseas were starved
for pretty things T'm Just look
ing forward to the moment" said
one Of the aids, ''when / can wear
fluffy things and put this sombre
Uniform out of sight and the dis
tresstng memories it stands for out
OF mind" So a sheaf of discount
cards was filled out for the Young
women and forth they sailed to pur-
chase the various mysteries OF
feminine apparel which only \
feminine head to shopping bureau
could fathom.

Classified as Respectable

Here they were aided by one of
the features Of life in France. Your
typical Frenchman seldom fails to
carry with him papers establishing
his Identity. There is his livret
mllltaire, which sets forth his mill
tary service and record; there is
MS carte d'electeur, without which
he cannot cast a vote; there is the
receipt for his last quarters rent.
which at least shows that he lives
IN the odor of sanctity as far as his
landlord is concerned, and there
may be shooting permit or other
official document Of that sort. The
general effect of one or all of these
is to separate the possessor from
the class Of vagabonds, the irre-
sponsibles, the e'er-do-wells. Every
honest and we'll behaved Frenchman
is thus classified, for in country
demanding military service of all
its sons he must be classified As
for the dishonest and the i'll be-
haved, either their papers are in
complete or they have no papers: in
either case a matter for grave sus-
picion. The case of forged or stolen
papers need not be discussed.
Woe to the unclassified when the
police dragnet is laid down, there

out of jail during the war were dis
covered, deserters Of all the armies
of the great alliance were caught,
and it was found that new genera
tion of malefactorS, come to its
criminal majority in the last five
years, had begun operations. Men,
women and children, all the tag
rag and bobtail, the scum, the dregs
of the nations. were held by the
police, examined and. as the case
might be, either sent back to prison
to serve out unexpired sentences
or kept for trial on new charges. To
say that hundreds were thus dealt
with is vague enough, but since
exact figures are not forthcoming
the phrase will serve to show that
useful work was done.
New-York tribune., 1920-01-25

uniform and plainclothes men laid
heavy hands on all known criminals
That they encountered and held up
for inquiry all others of whose
honesty they might have the slight
est doubt.
