YANKEE TRAINS IN FRANCE
Quite Different From the Unassuming
French Affair.
When a French train signal*, with its
queer squeak whistle, that it is about
to mosey into a station, the depot attendants
pas9 politely among the
townspeople and ask If they would be
so good as to get off the rails, so that
the train might approach. The townspeople
are there for visiting purposes.
They visit with the engineer, firemen,
conductors and other train officials.
They visit too with the passengers,
many of whom alight for a promenade,
even for a glass of wine at the estaminet
across the street from the station.
The baggage men have great fun.
Each package they hand out to the
...?a little history.
siuuun auniuiuiui ??> -
such a comical history. too- The air I
buzzes with chatter and Is thrashed
with gesticulations. Everybody is
shaking hands. Eventually the train
departs.
Not so with the A. K. F. Special
which has just carried rne across
France, "Hoss. you is on the only 2b-gged
train in France." said the black
jiorter-private to me. while we were
flying on our way. It was true.
A couple of miles from a station
our gigantic Yank would let out a
couple of mad roars. The depot would
(? deserted when we pot there and 1
could imagine the |<opulacc having
taken to the air raid shelters. Nothing
like such audacity in trains has
ever been known in France.
The American E. F. Special is called
"Attaboy Special" by our army in
France, after the chief of our transportation
who was formally Genera)
Manager W. \\*. Attorberry. of the
Pennsylvania railroad. It was our
only all-Amcrican |*assenger train in
France. Of course, we have troop and
freight trains on irregular schedules
moving all over France, but these
usually have crews wholly or partly
French.
The "Attaboy Special" is not a troop
train. Its passengers are mostly officers
moving between our general

tant bases ahong our lines of rommu-1
mentions, this whole area now being I
ailed the S. O. S.?service of supply. I
At the wayside station where I wasl
to take the "Attaboy Special,"I went I
to the French ticket office and asked I
for a ticket. Ah. the ticket inan could I
sell no billets on the American spe-1
clal. It was not a public train. I would I
please see the American K. T. O.? I
Railway transportation for officers. I
I saw him. He had no tickets. He I
asked to see my papers. I had my |
American white pass and a O. H. Q. I
letter to commanding officers to grant I
me full facilities. "I will make a res-1
ervatlon for you," he said promptly. I
"The train is due at?. It will be herel
then."
It was there. The time was at night I
a stormy night, too. A corporal led me I
to the captain-conductor who wasl
calling a roll of passengers bound for I
! points west, jus telegraphed to him wpl
j the line. There were four majors, a I
I couple dozen captains and lieutenants. I
y?n?l quite a few privates on special I
\tluty to get aboard. My name wasl
tailed.
I was to share a compartment with I
a major. I thanked the captain-con- I
, ductor and was conscious of someone I
?, taking my suit case out of my hand I
"Come rlBht d,s way-sah"
~' Ho was j)s Mack as nigHt.
He led the major and me to one of I
the first-class^ compartments (for this I
American locomotive was pulling I
French passenger "carriages," jus they I
call them). He helped us up the steps I
brought in our baggage and turned on I
the dim light.
"This light makes your khaki uni- I
form look blue," I said to him. "You I
look more like a pullman porter to me I
Hum ji soldier."

"Well, boss, i guess us mv ..

(Sood-night, sah. Oood-night. sah. I
Ity this time we were bounding)
over the rails intended for more se- I
date traveling. The major had made I
several trips on the special and I anx-1
iously watched him. I wondered if it I
was a real American train, where I
people undressed and got in their pa- I
jamas. It was even a clean I
place to wash, something strange and I
uncommon over there. It was a warm I
night, stormy, and we sat up in paja-1
mas and had a good chat before I
wrapping up in our V. S. A. blankets I
and turned out the light.
Those sonorous snorts of our mo-1
guc engine, the regular clickety-click I
of our speedy passage over the rails? i
this was a mother's lullaby to me. I
Stretched out sideways on the car-1
rige seat I slept better than I would [

was sleeping.
In the morning, when we were I
dressed and shaved, the porter-prlvatf I
with his aureole of pood nature np
peered to wish us a "bon jour" that
exposed all of his white teeth.
"Oen'men," he said, "I'm sorry I
can't come in and say, "First call for
breakfast like you was used to. Hut
I will do the best I can. Are you ready
for a little snack? I couldn't buy
much at the last station. You know,
boss, we don't stop long enough?r
Presently he reappeared. He gave
each of us a battered tin cup of warmed-over
coffee. Out of his tunic he
produced two sorrowing little oranges.

THE NEED FOR THRIFT.
t
Country Should Now Work and Save 8
As Well. a
Thrift and after-the-war problems '
affecting insurance were the principal a
themes of speakers at the opening of v
the twelfth annual convention of the ''
Association of life insurance presi
dents In New York last Friday. The "
speakers included United States Sena- *
tor Charles S. Thomas. John Wannamaker.
Dr. Charles Prosser and Rob- 1
ert Linn Cox. 0
Ordinary efficiency In public ad- a
ministration would save the people of 1
this country $600,000,000 a year, Sena- 1
tor Charles S. Thomas, of Colorado. 1
told the association. He is a member
of the senate committee on finance. P
War's Ix'gacy and Need of Economy.
"The war leaves us a legacy of a tf
stupendous debt," declared the senator. n
"It will reach, if it does not exceed. *
$35,000,000,000, or twice as much as the v
combined debt of the Allied nations,
including Russia, when the war began.
The annual interest upon this stupendous
sum will be $1,400,000,000, nearly ^
twice the net total of the nation's annual
pre-war expenditure. This means
a vast increased rate and radius of
taxation. The people must bear the n
burden, for Germany cannot make in- a
detnnity. They will bear it willingly, c
if economy in public administration e
and the application of every dollar to is
the public needs shall become the policy
of the government. They will not n
and shall not be content if the gross ?
extravagances of the past continue. a
"In 1010 Senator Aldrich declared p
that ordinary efficiency in public administration
would annually save the p
jieople $300,000,000. It would now save h
twice that sum. If the taxpayers of v
America will unite in demanding a h
radical revision of our public service, r
a consolidation of duplicating bureaus t
and the institution of the budget sys- u
tern in expenditures it will be done, f,
If they will also rigidly supervise pubii
...litnrv.e tnvntion can be
largely reduced. If they fail to do
this our appropriations will keep in- j
creasing, for every demand made upon
the treasury is complied with when
IK>liticnl or organized force is behind
it, and everything in these days Is organized
except the man who pays the
taxes."
"National Plague Spots."
Senator Thomas declared that American
shores have been flooded with a
mass of humanity apparently unassimilable.
The immigrant colonies
have become "national plague spots,
breeding places for all the ugly disorders
of the century." Disruption of
the central powers, he believed, would
remove all restrictions upon emigration
of their people. "The dam," he
declared, "must be erected on this side
of the Atlantic, and no time should be J
lost in its construction. j
"Your city typifies the general sit- j
nation. It contains the germs of every \
social and political disorder. Parts of J
Its press are constant and competent
sewers of sedition. From such congeniul
soil were bred the Black Hand X
and I. W. \V. A powder magazine unguarded
is not more dangerous to the
community. I
"Into the face of the sinister menace
wealth flaunts the orgies of the
great white way. It thus supplies the
east side with text and justification.
. cniien with the discon
A IwimiuMuu,
tent of poverty confronted with the
vulgar and ostentatious display of lavish
extravagance, will not always remain
quiescent. An explosion is Inevitable.
"It is a sinister fact that, excepting
Lenine. nearly all the leaders of Russian
Bolshevism graduated from the
swarming centers of New York, Chicago
and Philadelphia. Their bloody
program was formulated here, and
here they proposed to test it, when opportunity
beckoned and Russia became
their victim. From that con- ^
tlnental slaughter house they salute _
their accessories in America and urge
them to the commission of similar
atrocities.
"The war has taught us the wisdom
and the simplicity of thrift. We should
make it a national virtue. It is the
best cure for discontent."
WAR TIME ADVERTISING.
Its Importance to the Seller and to
the Buyer.
When so many war duties require
every minute you can spare advertising
offers you a labor-saving buying
guide. Read advertisements today
more than ever before. The war has
thinned out the ranks of the sales
clerks. As a result the counters are
manned by many almost uninformed
salespeople. So read the advertisements
that describe the things you
need so that you can Inform the clerk
who is not familiar with the stock.
Make up your mind what you want
before you enter the store what you
came to buy. The clerk's time is occupied
in "waiting on you." mostly
"waiting" for you to tell him.
William M. Rankin, president of the
William M. Rangin Co., was puoted in
the Commercial recently as saying-:
"Advertising lurnism-ii HIV I..V.chants
and manufacturers with laborsaving
salesmanship. Advertisements
are written by people who are thoroughly
posted about the advertised articles.
One good salesman can by
printing his talk, tell many thousands
of people what they wish to know,
where he could only inform a few If
he had to rely on his voice.
"Advertisements are then In reality
well-informed salespeople talking to
you in print. Their language is carefully
chosen and condensed?to tell
you facts in as few words as possible.
Very seldom does any one advertise
unless he has an unusually good product
to offer. The cost of advertising
automatically bars the unsuccessful.
"On the other hand, advertising is
the cheapest way a successful product
ran increase its sale?for thousands
are told the story in print where the
same expense would tell only a few in
firrsuo.
"So read advertisements that describe
things you need or tell you of
products you should have. Read advertisements
everywhere?in newspapers,
magazines, etc.
"Advertisements post you regarding
lew and better roods, Improvemen
n methods, etc. They keep you abrea
if the times with the lea'it posslb
rouble on your port.
"Manufacturers will necessarily hai
o curtail their salesmen on the roa
nd only the substitute for salesm<
s Silent Salesmanship?that is, prln
d advertising. Therefore, retalle
fill be asked to send their orders ft
nerchandlse by mall, and the best we
or manufacturers to make thousanc
>f calls on retailers without emploj
ng salesmen is through printed advei
ising in trade papers, newspaper
arm papers and magazines.
"Advertising, too, will be used I
ell you why you cannot buy certal
oods, and to continue the good-wl
nd trade-mark value of such mam
acturers in the mind of the conBumi
nd the dealer so that after we win tl
rar the sale of such products can t
ncreased and multiplied. During tl
ist four years no automobiles hat
een sold or offered for sale in Orel
Sritaln, yet the manufacturers of at
omobiles have continued their advei
lsing unabated with the full approvi
f the government, and the godd wi
nd standing with the buyers will 1
00 per cent after war rather than sa
0 per cent, if they had discontinue
heir advertising."
So. read advertisements to kee
osted as to what to buy and also I
e informed why you cannot buy cei
aln brands of goods?because the:
lanufacturers are devoting all of the
Ime to building war products to hel
fin the war.

SAW MULING?
LABOR is very scarce. You know
1 that. And it Is hard to get almost any
C kind of help. It Is specially difficult
0 for us to get skilled labor and in conJ
sequence lots of work that we might
J be doing, has to go undone. But we
t, are helpless until labor becomes more
s plentiful.
y In the meantime, if you have any
f LOGS that you want sawed into LUM(j
BER, we'll be glad to do the sawing
C for you. Cannot promise to do the "v
[, sawing as soon as you bring the logs, 1
> but will saw them as soon after you *
f bring them as we can?dependent on
t* having sufficient labor to do the work,
t) In other words, we'll get to your logs
as soon as possible after you deliver
them at the mill.
