The awed Tommy reached for the

With a asp the remonstrant "turne-

verting the canva3 case of a gas mask
Into a valise was not uncommon in
the Allied armies.

the helmet and rig the mask high on

No matter where the correspondents!
went their bonnets and masks went.aL
so like Mary and her lan. j because
their work carried them daily Into the
fighting zone. "When the armistice
came it was! odd to tour the from with-
out these appendages. You fel't as .if
you had forgotten something aiid
when you recalled after a start -that
they were Ino longer needed. you
heaved a sigh of relief.
Personally I never feared shells as
much as s&s. having seen many vic-
tims of the latter and having had a
whiff in my throat and eyes tlie day
tlie Twenty-Seventh and Thirtieth
American divisions aided the British in
smashing the Hindenburg line. -
In visiting divisional regimental ahd
tiattaliou P. -C.s. correspondents and
chauffeurs who drove them were con-
etantly under shellfire and often with-
in range machine gunners and
snipers. Boche aviators also hovered
aloft with bombs and machine guns.
There -werej. time3 when enemy fliers
swooped low and fired at ears. One
press auto was peppered by shrapne"
from a close-bursting shell and a due
grazed anotlier. -There
wa a mistaken notion imoitg
those unfamiliar with modern war-
fare that the front line trench was the
most hazardous area. It was when
the enemy attacked 'or when the Al-
lied forceB went over the top bU with
ooth. sides .resting on their aniis whik
lhe big suns played the back :. areas
were the most dangerous. Experts es-
timated thati .upward of t0 prr cent of
tlie casualties occurred from tlirCe to
eight kilometers back due to shells
and" bon:bs. ;
Now that we have a chance to ralm-.
ly look hackj.at it all it is surprising
that there were not more casvaltie
among :orreHpoi!dpnis. A Frenrih -correspondent
was instantly killed by a
machine ' gep bullet. An American";
photographer- was killed by a shell
ten days before-tlic armistice. Another.
American correspondent was t struck
twice in the' 'arm laid one of his iiyes
was gouged machine gun bullets.
Two other American newspaper ' men
were nippedj one while serving on the
Italian front!.
Every accredited correspondent with
the A E. F. had thrills and narrow es.
capes - Several were .slightly gassed.
They figured in a crop of auto spills.

ent Copy jivhich in previous wars
might have been sent by slow courier
was cabled nightly in bulk to the four
corners of the civilized world. Fleets
of fast automobiles made this possible.
The motor was a big factor in the air
and on the ground for troop and sup-
ply transportation and for speeding up
news.
Traveling from 100 to 200 miles to
report a battle or interview a general
and rushing iback the same day to -file
the copy with the censor for immedi-
ate transmission was routine.
Often correspondents wrote and cen-
sors read their copy during-air raids

were crushed to death a block or two

ficulties at times. Via urgent tariff.

March 8. Among the war
stories that British naval mqn feel
free to tell now is one about a "ghost
ship" whose mystery has never been
solved.
In 1917 a convoy of twelve ships
left a British port. At dawn on the
day after sailing the escort comman-
der discovered thirteen ships under his
charge. While the identity of the ex-
tea ship was being discussed the con-
voy was suddenly attacked by German
light cruisers and most of the escort
and nine of tlie merchantment were
sunk. The Germans then made off.

An American consular officer In
Scandinavia gives thc recipe for mak-
ing coffee among the Lapps when
they are so fortunate as - to have It
at-nil.
Dinner was eaten out of doors and
the one dish of the meal consisted of
roast lemmings little crentures some-
thing between a guinea pig and a
rat and us the officer admits "ex-
quisitely peculiar" as to their flavor.
The party .squatted In. ring about
the lire watching' the roasts all ex-
cept a wrinkled old woman who as
an expert was intent upon a more te
dious ceremony. Out of a skin knap-
sack she had taken a small skin bag.
From this she extracted some 12 green
coffee beans which she proceeded to
roast one by one in a small iron
spoon.
When they were cooked to her taste
she bruised them to coarse fragments
between stones and put the result

Jane's fried chicken. Men in outdoor
training have good appetites and they
.are far better off physically than If
fed on the salads niHl ices and sodas
they probably would have ut home.
What they miss most is sweets. If
you are sending things from home put
in cookies candies and jams or jellies.
Milk chocolate Is one of the things a
soldier seems to crave and a jar of
malted milk will come handy if he is
not feeling well
Be sure not to send

One of the comforting thoughts to
the friends at" home- Is the fact that
Uncle Sam is bound to 'maintain good
liealth among his soldiers. Even if
there were no humnfle considerations
this would be necessary from a pure-
ly economic standpoint. Sick soldiers
are a menace and a regiment not up
to par In the matter of health is an
awful handicap. All men are vaccinat-
ed for smallpox and inoculated against
typhoid as soon as they enter service.
Minor disorders such as blisters bow-
el trouble or sore throat are carefully
watched by the officers in charge and
there is a hospital with trained nurses
in every camp. No faking can pass.
The! -officers have sharp eyes to dis-
criminate between reul and simulated

food and strenuous military drill are
in themselves strong factors toward
good health and many a man who en-

As for drinking it "isn't done!"
Saloons and even soft drink establish-
ments are not allowed to sell any-
thing to a soldier In uniform and
many young men who have heretofore
been occasional drinkers now proudly
proclaim- themselves teetotalers.
. No Butter at Vassar.
The announcement at Vassar college
that no more butter will be served at
dinner has caused much discussion but
the girls promise to give the plan a
trial says New York World. It is a
war measure established on account
of the high .cost of living. The girls
will have gravies jellies and jams to
take the place of butter. It was said
that the college would lift the ban
on butter for dinner just as soon as
there were any "complaints.
The hard-boiled egg for breakfast
Is doomed too; at least It must riot be
served where omelet is to be had.
Because most of the girls have a
sweet tooth tlie college authorities
will increase the sugar service at all
meals; but this will be evened up by
cutting down of meat.

men congregate seem to be of one
opinion as to why soldiers now com-
mit petty crimes. They say the bear-
ing of the soldiers has charged since
hostilities ended. When they obtain a
' brief respite from the fighting they
still felt that they were engaged still
had something to do and something to
think about. People who are- at the
Young Men's Christian Association andt
Red Cross centers say that now there
is no interest for the soldiers- at the
front and little they can do In the
cities as few have much money. They
are idle mentally and physically.
There has .been a tendency to blame
overseas men for much of the crime
not Americans as comparatively few
of them arC on leave in England- but
a Scotland Yard official has stated that
the English" troops arc as much re-
sponsible as their colonial brothers.
"I am afraid there will be little
abatement in the outbreak until de-
mobilization has been considerably
advanced" he said. "If in the mean-
time the military authorities could
devise some scheme for keeping the
men more in country districts and less
in the cities things might be better
than they are. City lounging invaria-
bly has a worse effect on a man than
country Idling." ' '

Too many women are really careless in seletcing their corset.
Its gliess .work when you simply "buy one oyer the counter. You
would not think of buying your shoes or gowns without trying them
'on. . :
We believe the right way is to be fitted in your corset so that you
are certain to wear the correct model and also the correct size.
When properly fitted in a Roberta your figure line is continuous
without any semblance of a ridge at either the top or bottom of the'
corset. The front lines as well 'as the back lines are so graceful!
The designing of the lower back give3 a more slender appearance.
The Shield -under lacers. is self-adjusting always in-place- and
prevents the flesh from protruding.
Let one of our corsetieres select the Roberta adapted to your -tig-
ure and properly fit you. There is no extra charge for this service.
