EPH HAD NOTHING TO SAY
Absent Minded Man Didn't Wait to
Make Explanation of Somewhat
laughable Situation

Old Ephraim Davis had the repu-
tation of being the most absent-mind-
ed man in ChenangO county. One day
he went to $ on various matters
of business. At the tailor's he bought
a new suit, which he donned, asking
that his old one be wrapped up. He
then went to the national bank and
purchased bonds Of considerable value
and placed them in the breast pocket
Of his new suit. After doing several
other errands he drove leisurely home
Some time afterward he went to get
the bonds from the pocket of his old
suit, Naturally, he did not find them
there. Greatly perturbed, he put on
his new suit and set off for S.
There he went Immediately to the
bank.
Il bought some bonds here the 9th

voice, "and | put them right in this

his coat. At a sudden rustling that
ensued an expression ludicrous in it's
mixture of shamefacedness and relief
came into the wrinkled COuntenance
And, by gosh, here they ben'
Without another word he turned on
his heel and walked out, leaving the

IT'S JUST CHATEAU THIERRY
World-Famous Village Apparently 10
Unaware of Its Immense His
toric Importance.

Chateau Thie.ry has patched its
roots, plastered its chimneys, painted
Its shutters and decided to forget the
war. At first every villager dreamed
of making his fortune as a tourist
guide. They are all back now at their
old trades. 1t is only the good house
wife who still pays attention to tour
lists, and then only to think black
thoughts OF the dust raised by the rub
Der neck cars that plunge without a
stop through the village streets.
Over the bridge, our famous bridge,
that crosses the Marine come the jolt
ing market carts filled with beets and
cabbages grown in the farm lands at
the foot of Belleau Wood There is a
good deal of grumbling about the tenn
porary wood structure that now spans
the Marine, and the peasants tell you
that they cannot imagine why the sol
diers did not build it wide enough to
let two carts pass each other.
In the Cafe DIES Mariners they talk
no more of the war. Instead one hears
only the idle gossip that the river men
have picked up. Chateau Thierry is no
place for the sentimentaiSt who has
Imagined that this town of towns would
live forever in awe of Its memories
A walk through the streets reveals
few marks of either the German or the
American occupation. In field on the
outskirts stands the skeleton of "tin
lizzie" that once did ambulance serv-
ice. On the door jambs of several
houses one can still read the billetng
officers stencils telling how many sol
diers each house would accommodate.
In one instance the owner has pur-
posely left implanted a square around
these sacred numbers as delicate
tribute to his departed guests.-George

he is not given to sentimentality, but he has

much the Western and Eastern races, but of
the Oriental and Occidental ideas and ideals
political, economic, social, religious and other
wise--is waxing in strength and very fast.
Meanwhile at o'clock in the afternoon of
the same day there were gathered in Uyeno

respect and appreciation of the superb
valor and steadfastness OF the British
land and sea forces and the British ma
ton in the war that Gen. Pershing made
the gift of the Congressional Medal of
Honor to the unknown British warrior.
81 now hear with keenest emotion OF
your desire to confer upon the unknown
American soldier your higest decoration
for vaIor-the Victoria Cross, that medal
which for years has denoted recognition
of the most self-sacrificing patriotic SER
vice / am sure that the american
people will join with me in grateful ac-
ceptance of this bestowal, so fully ex-
pressing in this noble tribute the Brit
ish appreciation of the high and coura-
geous purpose of the young Americans
who stood beside your valiant soldiers in
the battle line on land and sea.
"f greatly prize this opportunity also
to thank you for your good wishes for
the success of the conference on the
Limitation of armaments. believe with
you that the British and American rep
resentatives will cordially cooperate
along with other nations to bring about
such International understanding as will
make possible and desirable a reduction
of the burden of ornaments through
diminishing possible causes Of war"
