Supplies to A. E. F.

Belfast, Feb. 11-(UP) )-The first cargo ship carrying supplies for the American Expcditionary Forces in north Ireland arrived at an undis- closed port recently and the typ ically American items that 1t brought were being relished today by the troops.
 In the hold of the big steamer were many cases of Milwaukee beer, probably the most welcome article, for American soldiers don't have much appetite for British beer, which seems to have very little in common with the American variety.
 There also were many trucks on the ship, and they were being put into use speedily American drivers had been practicing with British trucks in order to familiarize them selves with the road rules. Becom- ing accustomed to driving on the left rather than the right side of the street is their chief problem.
 Fruits, flour, cereal, cigarets and candy bars also were among the supplies. Post exchanges are being established in all camps where these small luXuries will be dispensed.

MAY HEAR FROM HEROES

Washington, Feb. 11-CUP)-The heroes of Wake Island and Guam who have been captured by the Jap anesc may hear from home soon.
 The names of Japanese captured by United States forces already have been sent to international Red Cross headquarters in Geneva, Swift erland. Those names will be for Warded as quickly as possible to Tokyo under long existing interna- tlonal agreements for the exchange Of information on prisoners of war.
 Japan early in the war pledged herself to extend the same treat ment to Americans in Japan as is shown her Nationals here. It was understood that this arrangement would be extended to cover prison- CTS Of war. Thus Japan soon should be sending in the names of the Americans she has captured.

Traditional American Food
Becoming More Popular

The great American cook is to be
honored in her own country. One OF
the hotel chains is to comb the land

meal checks from the chains many

Toll Gate Crasher Dies
To Cross Seattle Bridge

Of the first motorist, the first BIZ

first toll-gate crasher.

"You can get free ride across

vice president.
And Macy ought to know. He

A safe distance from the gate, the
