On the following Sunday, after the customary church parade, the colonel, who had already received the same answer to his Questions from two 01 three of the officers, turned to anothei and started off in the old stereotyped strain: "What is your father's profes "He is a shoemaker." 4"And your mother's?"

Will Be Great Help in Rebuilding France. Paris.?Only a few months ago Reims still sheltered some 600 chil dren, although the Germans almost daily bombarded the town. '. How these children lived in the eel* lars and the special shelters while the Germans fiercely bombarded the town is a pathetic story. Though these cellars and shelters were dark, dreary and damp, where the sun's pays never once showed themselves, no one ever saw these children downhearted or discontented. Whenever the bombardment let up, even for a few minutes, these children swarmed out of the cold cellars to play in the sua. Duty and Resignation. A correspondent during one of these hills walked down a narrow street 1 bordered by the walls of houses of the sixteenth century, or such parts of them as had survived the German bombardments. He met a youngster standing in the middle of the street gazing at one of the wrecked houses. Asked why he was gazing at that house, the boy answered: "That house over yonder, monsieur? I was born in that house. When war broke Out father was mobilized and mother went .to live with an aunt In one of the houses on the outskirts of the city. Once a week I come here to look at my old home, or what is left of \t" "But aren't yoi afraid?" ! "Afraid of what? My father is at the front, my mother is still here, and as long as she stays here,-I will." This child is a type of all.

All the boys quickly donned theirj masks and continued playing, rather stimulated by the unforeseen reality of their game. So interested were they that they never thought of finding shelter, but had to be ordered to do so by patrolling soldiers. But these things could not go on. The youngsters had too much free Hma oe oil tho srhnnls TFfTP ClOSed I and days were spent In holiday-making. The municipality established schools in the huge cellars of the 'big champagne houses of Reims. Every day the teacher had to go through the deserted streets under heavy bombardment, and very often the school children had to be kept in after hours when the town was being shelled. These children, having grown up under these conditions, will be a snlendid helD to France in rebuilding a nation of valiant citizens. WAVES OF HATE FOR KAISER League of Optimists at Given Hour Daily Will Wish Dire Things for Huns. /^ktuoA Til A loo cm a nf AnHmIcf9 V^lilLagU, All. a. ivuguv Vi vrv.u.M? has been organized in Chicago with the avowed purpose of beating the kaisel by "waves of hate." Branches are to be formed in every part of the United States, according to Doctor Sheldon Leavitt, president of the league, who calls himself a i "holy emotionalist." Here is the Idea: j Twice a day 20,000,000 optimists shall at a designated hour concentrate | intellectually, grit their teeth, stamp their feet and simultaneously wish dire things for the Potsdam crowd. The enemy shall be mentally annihilated. The ritual carries with it a "hymn of hate." The formula outlined by j Doctor Leavitt is as follows: t 4tI call down npon the German gov-! erament disaster, catastrophe, ruin,; disease, pestilence, annihilation and, the plague." Then all that remains is for the allied armies to crush the foe. Held Captive Four Hours. Green Bay, Wis.?After being held captive by the Huns for four hours in a shell hole, Dr. Clarence u.

"Godmother of the Polish Arm/* Greeted With Cheers by Officers and Men. Paris.?A woman alighted from the train at what remains of a little railroad station very close to the front. Her hair was a trine gray but her cheeks were pink, and she neemed to be very happy to be arriving in that place. Very soon the reason became apparent. A military policeman was on duty in the station. He stared and gave a snout, "Mrs. narwg. "I got here at last," she said as she shook hands?a handshake such as is exchanged between friends long separated. "You're going to be with us?" "As long as they let me." Mrs. Haring went out and up the street, searching for the daily shifting headquarters of the Y. M. C. A.? for the war was moving with great rapidity since the new offensive began. An automobile containing a captain and three lieutenants stopped with a screaming of the brakes. Vnnnff mpn nnt nf /??r trt surround Mrs. Harlng as if she were the belle of the season. . Another car stopped. More officers. Around the edge privates lined up waiting their chance. From that moment hers was a triumphal progress up the street It seemed as if the whole American army wanted to follow her. It was a happy party, a laughing, handshaking, congratulating party that surrounded the little Y. M. C. A. woman. She was back, back witk the troops she had served and left for a time. They were doing their best to show her- how glad they were to see her and were succeeding wonderfully. The record of Mrs. Augusta Haring of New York city is enviable. She Is a musician. It was she who, with Miss Myrtle Stinson of Greenfield, O., organized the Y\! M. C. A. work in the new Polish army, most of which was recruited in the. United States.
