trict of northern France, this German overload
became almost popular with his French Sub
jects," the first week of his arrival.
General Won Ahrenbergs first order apparently
indicated good intentions For, at once, the Gen
eral commanded:
"Send down to Rue Chauffeurs. that street
known as the Hot Spot Close up tight the
bagnio called the Entente Cordiale' This place
has outraged decency too long. The New Ger
man Order does not tolerate immortality
Let me begin by saying that for me, this
story of the Generals closing of the Entente
Cordiale, the street known as the Hot Spot,
really begins with quite different story-the
story of honest Georges Legendre and his sweet
heart, pretty little Marie Celeste Dufours.
Georges Legendre was born on one of the good,
ten acre farms of France which striving peasants,
for hundreds of years, have made blossom and
bloom and produce comfortable living for each
new generation. Georges father moreover, kept
a small country inn. Georges, between farm tasks,
sometimes waited on his fathers guests This
fact, that sometimes he was waiter, has bearing
on my story
Georges schoofeows, coming back from their
work in the sophisticated city of Lille, called
Georges simple. THAT lummox of a Georges"
they said "he smells of the stable"
This wasn't true. At any rate, when Georges
waited on table or dressed up of an evening to
take his sweetheart, little Nile DufeHfs cut walk
ing, he seemed like what he was, one Of the peas
ant aristocracy of France, backbone and body of
our country, a true Frenchman. And Georges
loved the ten farm of his ancestors, almost as
much as he loved soft little Marie Celeste who
had let her hair grow long, where saucy modern
misses had cut theirs like boy Yet, sometimes,
little Marie Celeste seemed too quick and keen for
Georges, who thought slowly, solidly and soundly
even the good earth turned upon his fathers
farm.
Shortly before the war Marie Celeste went to
work as lady's maid in Lille. With her wages
she intended to buy her own trousseau since her
mother, Midwife Dufours, was a poor widow
Georges took Marie Celeste walking across his
farm the night before she departed. He tod her
he hated to see her go. He would give her what
money she needed for her trousseau, he said. She

streamed suffering along the highways masses in
misery, desperate people, lost. In those days poor
Georges redoubed his efforts to find Marie Celeste
But, dieu, then was a madness. And who
could find anybody in that troubled anguished
land? So Georges, desperately turned his back on
his farm and got position as waiter at the Hotel
Bellevue, in Lille.
But finally, some of the confusion abated.
Soon a sort of new order began to shape itself.
new regime, German regime, about to take
over the government. Harbinger of this
meeting at the Hotel Bellevue in Lille, in the suite
of one Monsieur Fernando. This man had always
been in that important industrial city, rather an
enigma. He had arrived quietly, back in 1886. He
traded in stocks conservatively. He always seemed
to be we'll supplied with money. Gradually he had
made the acquaintance of some of the most sub
stantial business men of Lille

But if, sometimes Georges had wondered about
her love, that last night he assured. They had
crossed the far meadow and sat down by the
brook their backs to big stone. He spoke to her
about the city boys she would meet in Lille He
said he only farmer Maybe.
NO" answered Marie Celeste, softly, II will

"I'm glad YOU are old-fashoned" he whispered.
"I'm glad you never cut your hair, like boy"
Il never will" she said. II like my hair long

He kissed a soft curl. Next morning she was

Those amazing first months were "phony war,
so people said, in which nobody fought or was
killed. But that wasn't quite true, for once, in
skirmish in No Mans Land out beyond Maginot,
Georges was hit with shrapnel. And when the
wound healed, the doctors said he would always
be lame SO they mustered him out and sent him
back to his farm, beyond Lille.
His first act was to try to find Marie Celeste,
who hadn't written him for months. He called at

family had sailed to South America.

The old concierge shook his head. "She did
not go with them" he said and then, irrelevantly,

He shook his old gray locks. Georges passed
on, very troubled.
Georges hunted and hunted while his lame
leg ached and his farm was neglected.
For the hunger was in his heart, and the sad
ness in his brain. And as he hunted, history

consisted of two beer parties.
The coming few weeks are 60
ing to be the hardest. Punching
the highway through came first
this summer, so the recent win
ter freeze-up caught many COM
panies still living in tents. Even
a stove is no competition for
temperatures that have already
hit, in some places, the thirties
below. Food, after it has been
thawed out and heated, often
gets cold before it reaches your
mouth. And the daily ID hours
without sunlight now don't help
cheer up the soldiers.
Despite warm Arctic clothes,
whose excellence astonis h S
even the natives here, it's cold
work. Repairs and maintenance
freeze fingers. Long driving
frosts feet.
Now barracks are going up as
fast as possible. Portable saw
mills, powered by portable gen.
orators, are working long hours
deep in the woods. Barracks for
the men come first Then for Of
ficers. Then for administration.
Necessarily such comparative
luxuries as recreation halls get
lower priorities, though they are
already on order. They'll all
have movies. pool table, reading
and recreation rooms when
they are built.
Now that the road is open,
there isn't a man here who
wouldn't give an arm for few
weeks at home. But the men are
few and far between who grippe
about the hardships of their pio-
neering. They've been heading
in the direction they all want to
go-Japan.

WASHINGTON, Dec. 18-(P
"A plan to give Congress an in
dependent check-up system on
government spending material
lied in the House Appropriations
committee today as the prelude
to a forthcoming civilian econo-
my drive.
Chairman Cannon (D-Mo) de-
clared that special subcom-
mittee, consisting of himself,
Rep. Woodrum (D-Va), and Rep.
Taber (R-NY), ranking minority
member, now is working out de-
tails of the plan for presentation
to the House early in January.

alterations probably will come

authority to go into the various
departments and bureaus and
obtain first hand information on
just how much money they
should be allotted.
AS Cannon put it, it will pro-
vide an Organization that would
operate Independently of any
executive agency and secure for
the committee from time to time
information that it might require

Back of Cannon's broad state
ment, however, are long contin-
uing complaints from members
of the Appropriations committee
that they now lack any method
for determining departmental
financial needs except by ques-
tioning the officials seeking the
money.
Back of it, too, was the first of
Congress New Year resolutions
one calling for the elimination
wherever possible of appropria-
tons not playing direct part in
the war effort. That objective
has been laid down by both
Cannon and House minority
leader Martin (R-Mass).
Cannon has declared that the
committee already is operating
on a policy of cutting non-mili-
tary expenditures Ito the bone"

PUNGENT HISTORY
They'll remember that George

eddy started his comedy career
by entertaining copy readers,
that Victor Herbert made the
club his Philadelphia headquar-
tiers, that Johnny Black wrote
"Dardanella" at table not far
from the bar, and that William
Jennings Bryan visited the
club although he was a dry.
The club, in membership, at
least, always has been stag. The

ing commedienne of the 1905,
whose songs the members liked
so well that they voted her in.

1000 N Students

ANN ARBOR, Mi: Dec. 10
- up - The opening of Christ
mas vacation sent an estimated
1000 University of Michigan
students scurryins for seats on
packed trains and buses today.
Appropriately 40 per cent of
the student enrolment comes
from states outside Michigan,
and local transportation offic-
ials were expecting the worst
crush of passenger traffic in
their history.
Michigan's board of regents
moved the opening date of the
holiday ahead to avoid the worst
period of Christmas travel, and
ordered that classes resume Dec.
30 to avoid the normal post-New
Years jam.
Reservations on most major
trains for both the east and west
were gobbled up weeks ago.

Some tips on ways to make your

canning and also for getting more

in view Of the shortage of containers
and rubber for canning.
Slice the raw peaches, heat them,
then pack them hot in their own juice
and process. Put sugar directly on
the peaches before you heat them; by
doing this you help draw out the
juice and waste no sWeetening. Let
the fruit stand this way for few
moments to start the juice flowing.
Then, put the kettle on the stove
and heat the peaches slowly until the
sugar has dissolved and the fruit is
hot throughout. Put the fruit with
