 To commemorate the victory, a mon ument has been erected to the Fifth Division. A simple, concrete and met al obelisk, it is located in the heart of the village, of which hardly habita- ble building remains. German prison CTS of war are still working under French guards in an effort to remove the debris and prepare the way for re- construction. G-'al.} #ft
 Considered in conjunction with the silent villages of the dead, with it's shell-ton chapel and a background of general desolation, the tribute to American bravery presents a striking commentary on the irreparatle though glorious cost of Americas war effort.

LEGION FRANCS WILL DECORATE
 YANKEE GRAVES

Plans to raise 100000 francs and possibly double that amount for dec orating American graves in France on Memorial Day, May 30th, of this year, will be announced shortly by National Commander Franklin D'Olier, who has been authorized by the American Leg ion executive committee to outline and put across a campaign for this pur- pose, according to The Stars and Stripes.
 Rev. Frederick w. Beekman, of the American Church of the Holy Trinity, who is active head of the American Memorial Day Committee in France, addressed the Legion members assem- bled in Washington recently, telling how 100000 francs were raised last year in Paris and 34,0OO graves dec orated. There are about 60,000 Amer ican soldier graves to be remembered this year and it is thought every one can be reached. Memorial Day ser vices will be held in all the larger cemeteries. France abounds in flow CTS in springtime and tons of blossoms can be readily secured.
 T' Dr. Beekman expects to return to Paris shortly. He is also interested in the raising of a permanent memorial fund for the American Church in Paris. M .,.. ..,,iN a j, .....

 The list of permitted beneficiaries now includes: Parent, grandparent, step- parent, parent through adoption, wife, Cor husband), child, grandchild, stepchild, adopted child, brother, sisL ter, half brother, half-sister, brother through adoption, sister through adop- tion, step-brother, stepsister, uncle, aunt, nephew, niece, brother-in-law, 'sister-in-law, a person who has stood in the relation of a parent to the in

 The list of beneficiaries permitted under the original law was restricted, and service men who had no near rel atives living were unable to name a valid beneficiary. Again, there were cases in which a soldier or sailor had been brought up by an uncle or aunt and had named this relative, although he had other relatives living who were in the permitted class. Under the old
 law, if he died his wishes would count for nothing, and the insurance would be- paid to a person within the per mitted class. 7 2 y" .''. .. ~

r The first few hundred ballots coun- ted in The Stars and Stripes straw vote on the bonus will be valuable in
 judging ex-soldier sentiment on the subject, especially because each is a separate, written ballot, and each man named only his one first choice and gave his name, address and former
 military unit. Coming from every
 State in the Union these first few hundred votes are probably a fair in
 dication of how the men who served feel about adjusted compensation.

 As matter of fact, the dress of the modern young woman probably has little do with her health lack of it. It is not question of the dress but of the girl who wears 1t. The average young woman of today is healthy young animal She is healthy because she is tive, athletic. interested in thousand things which keeps her mind off herself and leave her little time inclination for illness.
