A real, sure-enough Indian princess, ls going to France to help entertain the American soldiers and sailors until the last one of them has been returned to the United States. She is Princess Galilohi, great granddaughter of the famous King Cooweeskowee, chief of the Cherokees, and her mission in France will be in connection with the canteen work of the Y. M. C. A Her Americanized name ls Miss Anne Ross and for two years or more she has appeared as a lecturer, Binger, dancer and exponent of the tri bal life of her chosen people.

AJXEC?TIVE .-- - r- -:-0?...~VJt-JC? ?7X?vr-JMK tensive Work of "Y" Among Poilus. DR. JOHN R. MOTT General Secretary of National War Work Council, Y. ML C. A., . Who Has Been Accorded High Honors by French Government. As a mark of recognition and appre ciation of the work done for the French aoldiers by the American Y. M. C. A. forces abroad, the French government bas conferred the signal honor of Chevalier of the Legion of Honor upon General Secretary John R. Mott, of ?the National "War Work Council of the Army and Navy Y. M. C. A ! Telegraphic advices from Washing ton conveyed the news of the distinc i?n granted Dr. Mott, whose home is to New York City. The telegram, ^signed by Edouard deBilly, Deputy 'High Commissioner, was as follows: 1 take pleasure in notifying you that the French government has conferred -upon you the titls of Chevalier de la Legion d'Honneur. Please accept my heartiest congratulations." The National War Work Council, .tinder Dr. Mott's supervision, in addi tion to its labors among the American 'Expeditionary Forces, has maintained more than 1,500 foyers du soldats, as the Red Triangle huts are known by the French poilu. Up to the .jnonth ot October, 1918, rlose to eight mil lion dollars had beon expended in "Y" wortr. among the French and other al soldiers served by the huts. Y ENTERTAINERS NEEDED IN FRANCE While certain branches of the work the National War Work* Council of the Y. M. C. A. has been doing for some time are being curtailed, one type of sendee is being called upon for more co-operation than ever before. Al though for some time there have been approximately 400 to 50? entertainers in France, many difficulties have sur rounded this type of service qpd the thousands of shows which have been given in France have only been put over in* spite of almost superhuman difficulties. Now, however, with the period of demobilisation forcing upon the Army new problems has a real spirit of co-operatjQn been shown by the Army authorities. Therefore, Gen eral Pershing has detailed Colonel Kellj', from his own Staff, to act as entertainment officer fe* the A E. F., which position places him as the liai son officer betweeu the Army and the "Y" Entertainment Bureau in Paris. Theatres and large buildings are be ing taken over, mechanics supplied by the Anny are putting them into opera tion and the "Y" is producing shows, given by soldier talent alone, and also dramatic and vaudeville performances and miscellaneous musical programs, the personnel of all of which must be recruited from this country. Owing to the large number of men in the Army with entertainment abil ity, no effort is being made to send men from this side. Women, however, are wanted for thene positions in large numbers. 125 must be sent out from this country every month, which will require the co-operation of every re cruiting agency throughout the coun try. All entertainers are supplied with uniforms, Life, Accident and Health Insurance, transportation, and allow $150.00 per month for living expenses in France. The women should be preferably be tween the ages of 23 and 30, neat and attractive and possessed of a pro nounced ability in their particular line. The field for entertainment now reaches from the coast towns in France right up and into Germany, for while the "Y" cannot do much with the Army of Occupation in the way of Canteen, it can supply entertainment and is doing so on an increasingly large scale. Information may be ob tained from W. C. King, Peters Build ing, Atlanta, Ga. DOUGHBOYS INVADE HISTORIC RESORTS Haunts of Napoleon Are Home to A. E. F. Troops Through Ef forts of Y. M. C. A. Forces tc Better "Leave" Facilities. ;-ii j ^J^jis^rcWheaeur^ listed men are now at play. The fam ous yacht club at Cannes, founded and patronized by King Edward, and St. Sauveur, where the third Napoleon "was wont to go with his court, indicate the j variety of attractions offered by the Y. i M. C. A. in the leave area system oper lated in co-operation with the military authorities. From the Alps to the Pyr ennes and from the Brittany coast to the Riviera, there ?re seven "Y" leave areas in which 50,000 soldiers can be entertained at one time. Preparations are now under way to increase these much-appr?ciated facilities to double their present capacity. Representatives of the army and of the Y. M. C. A. are now traveling from one end of France to the other seek ing new spots in which to set up leave areas. The experiment at Aix-les-Bains has been successful from the start, as America now knows pretty well from first-hand information carried home by Mrs. Theodore Roosevelt, Jr., who organized the woman's canteen work at Aix. "Aches and Pains" was an ideal spot for the experiment, but six others have been found and pu' in operation, each equally satisfactory as the original model. Consequently it is wifih opti mism that the army and the "Y" seek to increase the centres where sure cures have been found for homesick doughboys. Location, climate, hotel accommoda tions, opportunities for entertainment and sight-seeing and the moral and physical cleanliness of the area are all-important in the selection of a leave resort. As soon as a site is selected the largest available is ob tained by the Y. M. C. A. as its main center of operations, men and women are assigned to service and negoti ations are begun to secure reduced prices from such entertainment en terprises as cannot be duplicated by the Y. M. C. A. and every effort is made to give as much service as pos sible. The army provides transpor i tatton and pays the hotel bills, thereby enabling the soldier to enjoy all the attractions formerly restricted to kings and emperors and malefactors of great wealth. The Jetty Casino at 'Nice and the Municipal Casino at Cannes are the centres of attraction in the Riviera for the 8,500 men who can be accom modated in this area. Many officers favor this Mediterranean section, and there is a "Y" club for them. Every thing except the gambling that was stopped by the government at the be ginning of the war is at the disposal of the Americans. Golf and tennis and other athletic sports, bathing, boating and the companionship of the k>cal population ar?, the most popular at Chronic Constipation. There are people who never have a movement of the bowels without it is produced by a cathartic. Most of them have brought that condition on themselves by the use of mineral waters and strong cathartics that take too much water out of the sys tem and aggravate the disease they are meant to relieve. A mild laxative tonic like Chamberlain's Tablets af fords a gentle movement of the bow els that you hardly realize has been produced by a medicine, and their use is not so likely to be followed by con stipation.
