FRENCH and GERMAN
BRIDES SING DEFIANCE
Colonel in Charge Of Transport
With U. S. Soldiers Says
It's a Hard Life.

Six hundred and two soldiers Of the
army of occupation arrived at New
York recently ON the army transport
Cantigny, which docked at Pier 2,
army base, South Brooklyns OF this
number 70 had contracted wives.
There were II French brides, 63 Ger
man brides and SO babies. The French
women and German women hated each
other on sight. 1t was an interesting
voyage, and it is remarkable that no
one was hurt.
The entire trip was just one patri-
otto song after another. AS soon as
the French women found they were to
be associated with Germans they
started to sing the "Marsellaise," just
to see what the effect would be and to
show how they felt about it. The re-
suit was u burst of 'Die Wacht am
Rhein." There and then Col. q. |.
Cress. troop commander, began to de-
vote himself to the maintenance of
peace.
So the voyage resolved itself into u
song fight. Every time French bride
anu beFlllHn Drlue met there was
sure to be singing of patriotic sort.
They would cast mean looks at each
other for ii time and then, as an out
let for their boiling emotions, would
come Il couple OF national anthems.
The tumult was especially concerted
ut meal times when "The Star-Span-
gled Banner" would be thrown in for
good luck, and half dozen American
nurses with Irish procivties would
chime in thereafter with Ireland must
be free" Then the SO babies would
begin to cry, and 36 fathers would be-
gin to swear.
The baby chorus was all German
The walters were big, fat youngsters
with red cheeks and powerful lungs
The French brides did not have even
single baby.
According to the soldiers, the atti-
tude of the brides is typical of the
French and German nations. They
said that Germany harbored no ami
mostly toward England and America.
but that she still hated France and
France returned the sentiment.

HUMAN HAIR IN CARGO
There Is Great Scarcity Of This Ar.

An item in the cargo of the Hakata

The Pneumonia Month

March is typical pneumonia month
and usually gives high rate of NOR
tality for the disease. After long and
hard winter, the system loses much of
its resistance and people grow careless.
When every cold, no matter how slight.
is given prompt and intelligent atten-
tion, there is much less danger of pneu
monia 1t should be borne in mind that
pneumonia is germ disease and breeds
In the throat. Chamberlain's Cough
Remedy is an expectorant and cleans
out the germ ladened mucus and not
only cures cold but prevents its re-
snting in pneumonia. 1t is peasant to
take. Children take it willingly.

The Telephone Pole is fruitful tree.


On its angular branches bright crystal apples,
and the wires they bear aloft the pathways of the
worlds conversation. They tell of the birth of baby
the of the death of monarch half way
around the world
The stately trunks of cedar and chestnut stretch
from farm and town and suburb to the larger cities
where the burden of wires is great for poles and
the lines are underground
To carry all of the telephone wires of great city
overhead would be of the question. To put all
wires underground in the less densey populated places
would be just impractcable for it would make the
cost of the service prohibtve
Ideal telephone service should give to every sub

1t is such ideal that the men and women of the

KlUND SAYS TAXES ARE.
PROPERLY COLLECTED.
Resents Councils lntimation OF
Laxity in Going After
Delinquents.

Elmer n. Klund. collector OF taxes
for the Northern District, WAS far
from pleased today by reference made
last night during the meeting OF City
Council to the city's alleged failure
to get f,rto tho treasury all the moneys
duo IN the form OF taxes. Relative to
the apparently large sum due for the
year 1921 he explained that while
these taxes are supposed to be paid
In advance they do not actually be-
come delinquent until May ! OF the
following year. that Is taxes payable
last July are not delinquent until May
OF this year.
Mr.. Klund said his ONCE complies
with the law in every respect and
down 10 the last detail and IN this con-
nection he showed the following
letter received by him from City So
licitcr Reuben Sstterthwaite, Jr.. un-
der date OF April 8: II would like 10

you shall use whatever means you
deem 20 be reasonable TO collect such
delinquent taxes without suit and thai
you shall within six months aftel

ties on which the taxes have not beer
paid and the amount due the city ol
each. This letter then goes on Z
