4 T. P. Landmarks Coins.

Gradually the landmarks of. the American army that first reached the Rhine are disappearing. The ola buildings that sheltered the first army amusements and recreations are being demolished, and the latest one to feel the blow of the wrecker's hammer is the victory hut In Coblenz.
 This hut was built to provide an adequate eating place for the soldiers coming in from the various bridge heads. A corps of civilian workers were kept busy preparing and serving the food for the 1000 men who were fed there each day. At first the en- tire building was used as a cafeteria, but when the most of the divisions had gone home and the A.. ID. F. be- came the A. F. G., half of the build ing was converted into a wet canteen for the service of light lunches, ice cream, etc, and the other Side VAS still used as the cafeteria.
 November 6, last year. heavy snow storm came near ending the career of the hut. The weight of snow on the roof was so great that the main pil- lars buckled and distorted the floor to such an extent that the authorities questioned the adyisability of making the necessary repairs. The demand for a skating rink, however, was so in- sistent that after much discussion the building was altered and the athletic enthusiasts, as we'll as the skating en- thuslasts, useG the building during the winter.-From the Stars and Stripes.

Sweet Potatoes.

The sweet potato may soon he a much more common vegetable in our markets than heretofore. Its season has been restricted by the difficulty of keeping it for any length of time In storage. Unlike the white potato, 1t began to deteriorate as soon ns 1t came out of the ground.
 This trouble Is understood to have been overcome by new methods of curing. and plants specially designed for the storage of sweet potatoes have recently been established at many points in the South.
 Improved and much sweeter varie- ties have been developed, and q cam paign is being organized to promote the marketing of better sweet pota- toes on a greater scale all over the country.
 The sweet potato, of course. is not really a potato at all, but kind of yam. It is, like the so-called Irish" potato, an American vegetable by origin.

GHOST" IN NO MANS LAND
Germans Thought They Were Listen Ing to Unearthly Visitor, but 1t
 Was Clever Propaganda.

The only direct propaganda raid for which the American army had oppor- tunity before the armistice was planned and carried out on the Metz front by Capt. H. E. osann, an officer of Belgian descent who was familiar with the German army, says Mir. He Der Blankenhorn in Harper's Nigga zine. .
 "This Is my funeral" Capt. Osann said when he explained his scheme. All I want is 10000 leaflets. That division is full of Alsace-Lorrainers and I know the names of scores of men in 1t. We'll drop special leaflets on them for a few days, and after they have soaked in I'll take a patrol some night and go up to their wire and call. Don't shootl I'm not going to shoot. Is Fritz Schneider there7 I want to talk to him. Where is Willy Liebmannf"
 'You1l get a prompt answer from machine guns" observed.
 "Oh, yes, but only a burst or two," Osann said. They'll miss and there'n be a pause, and I'll call more names. If get somebody out there to argue with, I'll send him back to bring his whole battalion over."
 We .showered them with Osann's leaflets in French and German, ad- dressed to Alsace-Lorrainers--s statements of what the victory of one side or the other would mean to them. Then on a quiet night Osann and a patrol of n stole along the railway that ran into the enemy's lines before Dampvitoux. Alone, he made his way within 30 yards of an observation post on the edge of a wired woods and boldly set up his call. There was not even a shot. Aften ten minutes he began again. "Men of the Sixty First regiment, listenl" Then the patrol be- hind him began to hear voices; in the 'Boche trench a gutturnl but earnest discussion was going on.
 Again 0sann shouted names he knew; in the silence the whole patrol could hear the footsteps of a man walking along the railway track te- ward Osann, but he ran back ana Osann had to come away.
 A few days later we took prisoners on that front, and every man had copies of the Aisace-Lorruine leafiet in his pockets. When we asked if they had noticed anything recently in No Mans land at night, they an- swered. You mean the ghostr A ghost, they said, had been heard call ing soldiers by name. Their officers had made a report of the ghost to the Kommando.
