FRENCH CALL
WAR BABIES
INTO SERVICE

Copyright, 1885, By United Press
PARIS, April 49, U.P)-Youths of
81, born as the guns of the World
war crashed out their first bonn
bardments in 1914, marched sing
ing to join the army today from
every city. town and hamlet in
France.
In ragged squads, with bright
colored badges pinned to their coat
lapels to indicate they had been ac-
cepted for military service, they
marched To railway stations to join
others and entrain for army bar
racks.
They went 1612 years after the
close Of the war to end war, to be-
come part of the most formidable
military machine Europe has ever
seen. They may return seasoned
soldiers after 18 months training,
ready as reseryists to respond to a
call to the colors, or the survivors
may return as veterans Of a new
war.
The movement, which will con-
tinue tomorrow, was conducted
with utmost smoothness.
Special trains poured into Paris,
and train after train moved from
the east railway station taking the
recruits on to eastern and northern
territory in the general direction OF
the German Rhine, where most OF
them will be concentrated.
The ministry of war refused to
/ fix the number OF conscripts but
from official sources it was learned
that between 115000 and 10000
men were affected.

ARLINGTON COURT HOUSE, Va,
December 1o.-County officials and
court house employees took time of
to visit the Public Welfare Office yes
terday, where 5-year-old Patsy Cole
man smilingly crooned to her doll
while welfare officials telephoned
vainly to find out where she had come
from.
Picked. up on the streets of Claren-
don, where she had embarked on a
financial career by begging nickles
from passers-by, the flaxen- haired,
blue-eyed miss willingly accompanied
welfare worker to the court house,
but was unable to give satisfactory
account of herself and her commercial
activity.
She knew her name and that of her
doll, Shirley" and seemed to think
that sufficient. Contentedly rocking
her doll while the authorities were
puzzled, Patsy smiled encouragingly
at each new visitor, apparently con-
fident that everything would come out
all right.
Eventually 1t did, for Patsy finally
volunteered the information that her
mother lived in Washington. Mrs Mae
E. Jacobs, superintendent of welfare,
took her to the Receiving Home there,
and the child's mother, Mrs. Jean

was there and went to claim her.

COMPANY
OFFERS RATE CUT.
Four Exchanges in Suburb
an Montgomery Benefit
Under Application.
BY JACK ALLEN,


Patrons of four telephone exchanges
in the suburban area of Montgomery
County will receive a reduction in
rates on January l under table OF
changes which the Chesapeake d
Potomac Telephone Co. voluntarily
offers through an application filed
with the Maryland Public Service
Commission late yesterday.
The basic rates in the exchanges
Wisconsin, Bradley, Shepherd and
Silver Spring-are to be cut from 70
to rs cents per month, while the sub
scribers also will receive several ad-
ditional benefits by other changes
which the telephone company pro-
poses to make.
Maximum Increased.
Included among the latter are an
increase in the maximum number OF
calls allowed under the fiat rate on
two-party lines, scaling downward
of the charge for additional local
messages on lines of that type, an i'm
mediate reduction in the rental OF the
so-called French type phones, with
the charge ultimately to be eliminated
entirely.
Former zones l and 2 of the Brad
ley-Wisconsin area are to be combined
in a new zone l. while former zones
3 and 4 under the new plan become
zones 2 and 3, respectively. In the Sill
yer Spring Shepherd area, former zone
is to be combined with zone ana
subscribers living outside this area Will
be charged the zone l rate plus mile
age charges.
Reductions Vary.
Subscribers in the first zones Of the
Shepherd and Wisconsin areas, who
formerly paid SIS for individual service,
will in the future pay $4.75 under the
revised set-up. This rate will also ap-
ulv to subscribers in former zone 2,
whose rate was $3.50. Individual resi-
dence subscribers in former zone 3,
who paid Sc, will pay $5.25, and SINH
lar subscribers in former zone 4, VINO
paid $3.50, will pay S5.75.
In the case of two-party residence
service-in addition to adjustments In
the monthly rate on former zones z,
and 4-the maximum number OF local
messages allowed under the fiat rate
will be increased from 35 to 40 and
the charge for additional local mes
sages will in the future be Az cents
instead of 5 cents as at present.
Besides these changes, the monthly
rental on the French-type telephones
will be reduced from 25 to Is cents
and the charge @for this equipment
will automatically cease after the
subscriber has paid total rental oi
S2.70.
Col. L. L. Dye, chairman Of tht
Montgomery County Civic Fedora
tons Public Utilities Committee
which has held many conference!
with telephone officials on the rate
reduction question, made public the
proposed reduction at the fedora
tons meeting in Bethesda last night
