known on this part Of the American
front. The continuous roaring double
sound of the big guns stationed along
the line near Lancon undoubtedly
had telling effect on the morale ot
the German army which was busy at
daybreak taking care of their gassed
and wounded.
From Lancon we patients were
hauled in army trucks to the nearest
Evacuation Hospital which was near
Chalons and about 65 kilometers from
the front We boarded the Frog
Train" for the Nevers hospital, and
the chief diet while we travelled for
more than fifty hours was goldfish
and corn willie. We found the hospit-
al more than overcrowded but after
having been at the front two months
we realized that about the only soft
aspect of the war was the nice hos
pital cots fully equipped with white
derneath this roughness there was
a stratum of sentiment, sympathy and
a desire to lend comfort to our COM
rades. Earnestness and sincerity had
made some of the qualities which the
soldiers possessed. Our life had been
valuable only according to the in
tensity with which it had been lived,
and we had lived fast enough to fin
ish the job for our country.
From our cots in the hospital we
could see the boys, and the white
caps" who prepared and burned in
effigy the kaiser, and the dance went
on while the often repeated cry that
filled the hospital and thrilled the
hearts of all-'le guerre est fini.'

BIRDS NOT POISONED BY

BOHEMIAN, Mont, June 2 (by As sociated Press) Game birds of Mon- tana are not poisoned by gopher eradication bait, is declare by Pro- lessor R. A. Cooley, of Montana State college and G. A. Roosevelt, biological survey assistant The only birds that are known to have been poisoned at any time by the gopher bait, they de- clare, are crows and magpies. Game birds of the gallinaceous family are strangely immune to strychnine pois- Oning, it is declared, while the smaller birds are not fond of oats, the grain which is used for the gopher bait.

The city council of Nome recently appointed several native policemen to assist in the suppression of vicious relations between the local Eskimos and depraved whites. It is said that illicit relation between the natives and a certain class of whites have become so common at Nome that but few native families remain which do not include a number of children of mixed breeds. Also there are to be found among the younger generation a number of Eskimo men who hire their women out to the whites. The natives are not as much to blame as the whites as they are yet untutored and have different degree of mor- ality than the whites.

PAPER MONEY ON INCREASE
 IN GERMANY

BERLIN, June 2 (by Associated Press).-Germany's paper money in circulation amounts to 60,OOOOOO, ,OOO marks and is increasing by 1000, ,000,- 900 marks a week, declares August Mueller, former minister of econom- 1cs. The printing of bank notes is the only flourishing industry in Germany today, he says in an article in the Abendblatt. He attributes this activ- 1ty In printing of money to government subsidies undertaken in a vain effort to reduce the prices of food and also to the continual increasing of salaries "to an absurdly growing officialdom who find next day they are no better off, owing to the overnight decline Of the buying power of the paper mark"
 Germany's indebtedness, says Herr Mueller, is now about 30,OOO, 500, ,UOO marks. This, he adds, is, perhaps, redeemable at the present low value of the mark, but never If it recovers even half it's former value.
 Herr Mueller is unable to see a rem edy except in increasing production, which, he says, seems to preoccupy the present rulers of Germany less than the anxiety to keep in office.

ENGLISH LORD SEES HOPE FOR
 NATION

MANCHESTER, England, June 2 (by Associated Press) ).-Lord Reading, lord chief justice of England and for mer ambassador to Washington, talks hopefully of the prospects of League of Nations.
 Whether the league becomes wea- pon for the preservation of peace, or whether it withers and dies. does not depend upon the government, on Statesmen or politicians, but upon the peoples of the member countries" he told the Manchester Chamber of Com merce. ''In time to come, if the pub lie of the various countries will put their heart and soul into it, we may eventually arrive at stage when war might be regarded as a thing of the past"
 Lord Reading said the words of Washingtons farewell address were treasured by the American people "as perhaps never had words of man been treasured" This he cited as illus trating the very strong conservative traditions of the United States, which he asked his audience to take into account in considering the present American attitude toward the league.
