SHE KNEW THE GREAT STORY Girl Lacked Gift of Narrative, but Was Able to Tell All About Chateau Thierry. As we crawled up a railroad track In the vicinity of Chateau Thierry (this was in October)?a railroad thp nnlv npw and complete object In sight?the Y. M. C. A. girl, who had been sitting in the corner of the compartment resisting all advances at conversation, volunteered a remark. "Our division took it," she said. It turned out that she had gone In with her canteen just behind the division, during that fight wherein America made good. She lacked the narrative talent, that girl, but she came out t intervals with flnshes like this: "When our boys came up the stragglers said to them: 'You can't stay in there!' And our boys said: 'We'll not only stay there, but we're going forward/ When the stragglers saw that, they formed, too, and went back with them." Or this, as we drew into sight of a road bordered by blackened ruins: "There's where our divisions came Into sight, singing, 'The Yanks Are Coming."'?Will Irwin in the Saturday Evening Post / , Food and War. We went into the war because the German general staff held the conviction that American wheat was more dangerous to the Teuton army than American soldiers could ever be, says Ralph W.

Owing to the low-lying and often inundated plains of southern Siam, in which most of the rice farming is done and in which road making is difficult, aud also the fact that transportation is easily afforded by the numerI ous canals which traverse the country \ in every direction, there is not likely ! to be any extended demand for farm I wagons or other vehicles for the use of the Siamese farmer. It seems, howi ever, that considerable attention will be given to road making in Siam's principal cities, notably in Bangkok, and that therefore a line of municipal vehicles will be needed in the near future. i Didn't Come Off. | In the belfry of a little church in | France the Germans placed si bomb : connected with wires to the monstrstnce <>n the altar.
