DOUGHBOYS ON THE RHINE

WAR AS A GUIDE BOOK
(By Associated Press.)

CoblenZ. Feb. 3.-Tales of adven-
ture in the American West are the
favorite reading matter of the Ameri-
can forces in Germany and Zane Gray
is the most popular author.
Strangely enough. Julius Caesar runs
a close second with the doughboys
who are very keen about translations
|of Caesars Gallo Wars. This is due
to Caesars activities in the Rhine
Valley mad the ruins Of bridge he
built across the Rhine, which lifts
Caesars work out of the schoolbook
lass and makes it a guidebook thai
carries the Americans back nearly
1000 years.
Books which describe the legends
oentering about the Rhine are also
popular. especially with the soldiers
who are musically inclined and attend
the Wagnerian performances given by
he various German opera companies
which play in Cologne. Coblenz.
Weisbaden and the other cities neal
he Rhine frequented by soldiers or
leave.
All-story magazines which special
ize in adventures are more popular
with the American soldiers than any
other periodicals and the American
Library Association has been unable
to supply the demand for publications
Of this sort.
With the assistance of the Young
Mems Christian Association, which
aids in the distribution of reading ma
terial in the American area, Miss Ala
Weyth, who is in charge Of the Ameri'

FRENCH LOVE OF. JEWELRY
CAUSE OF THEIR DISTRESS
(By Associated Press.)

Paris, Feb. 3.-An elderly man,
we'll dressed and of distinguished ap-
pearance, smashed the window of one
of the most fashionable jewelry shops
in Paris on the rue Saint Honore yes
terday with his heavy gold-headed
cane. He made no attempt to gather
in any of the gems. An angry crowd
gathered in few seconds and sur
rounded the man While the shop pro
prietor went for a gendarme.
Stand back!" shouted the old man
swinging his cane This is the man
you should lynch" pointing to the
sign on the door of the shop, bearing
the proprietor's name. 1T is immoral
in these times of stress and misery to
expose in window such articles for
sale.
There is the cause of all the trou
ble,' he ended, pointing to an enorm-
GUS diamond, which, still remained in
the window. Look at the price tag
on it." They did. The tag bore the
words: Price: ole million francs. >
AS the proprietor and gendarme
came into view the crowd opened up
and the elderly gentleman vanished.

TURKISH PEACE TREATY
CHARACTERIZED AS A
TRAVESTY ON JUSTICE
(By Associated Press }

Nagpur, India. Dec. 29.-The Turk
,sh peace treaty was characterized as
the greatest travesty of justice, a
monument of hypocrisy and the black
est breach of solemn pledges" by DR..
Ansar in his address as president at
the annual session of the All-India
Moslem League today. He demanded
It's revision which. he declared. there
seemed little doubt was being seri-
ously considered by the allies.
The speaker denounced THE hor-
Eors OF the Punjab reign of terror
and supported the non-co-operation
movement in progress among the ma.
lives as protest against British rule.
There is a divine Injunction to
Mussulmans TO practice non-co-opera-
tion against the opponents OF Islam. -
said DR.. Ansar. There appears to be
a deadlock between the bureaucracy
and the people of India, which is en-
tirely because India has awakened to
a keen Sense of selfrespect and is de-
-ermined no longer to submit to a sec
ondary position, whereas the burea1.-
rrat is still thinking in obsolete terms
OF governing with the mailed fist.
In order TO win the cooperation of
the people of India our alien friends
must first of all disabuse their minds
Of the idea of race supremacy and do
ample penance for past wrongs"

Port Au Prince, Feb. 3.-Labor and
living are cheap in Hayti. There is
hotel in Port au Princes, rated as
the best, chat charges only 81 a day
for a room and three square meals.
True, the rooms are small, with the
ancient wash-bowl, and unlockable,
with concrete floors and rugless, but
they are clean and comfortable.
The same meals could not be OBJ

habit would be enough. There is
fruit in abundance in Hayti. and q
