POPE GRIEVES FOR IRELAND Rome, Sept. 28.—The death of Archbishop John Ireland is look ed upon as unfortunate in Vati can circles as steps would have been taken very soon to make him a car dinal. Flying With Shaffer ITALIAN BAND CONCERTS LETERS FROM A DAUPHIN UOY TO HIS MOTHER Escadrille Spad 38, Secteur Postal 240 G. C. 22, Aug. 14, 1918. Dear Mother: . Thanks to the efforts of an Italian band, 1 have been able to tell when Sunday comes during the last month. You see, lots of Italians are workiYig around here making roads, building barracks and any other little job the French need done and as a side issue give us music on Sunday. Knowing how I like music you can believe that I for one, appreciate it. They really could play well and put so much in the music that it got into the feet of some Americans who were listening also. It had al ready reached the feet of the Ital ians and thay were whirling around ip the maddest two-step you ever saw. Even with my air raining 1 know 1 should have become dizzy trying the same thing. Need Dunciug Partner The Americans, however, although itching to dance, could not see any fun in hugging a comrade. They wanted something soft, sweet and feminine and with usual American impatience of "I want what 1 want when 1 want it," they proceeded to "chercher une femnae." The fact that none of them could speak ai word of French mattered not at all. One big tall fellow who hailed from Utah, and who his companions jokingly called the "llorman," lost no time in upholding his state's reputation and proceeded to ask a, giggling French miss to dance. 1 don't know what he said, but the lady would not dance and he came back to the group saying that she had explained that since her brother had been killed in the war she would not dance. You can bet this plausible expla nation brought a roar of laughter that nearly drowned the music, for since our Mormon friend could not speak a word of French he certainly couldn't understand any—but trust an American to save his face. Identity Puzzling As usual, these Americans stared open-mouthed at my blue uniform as I spouted the good old American lingo, and even after talking with me, for fifteen minutes were still somewhat dubious as to my identity, although they admitted unwillingly that I certainly talked like an American. On closer inspection they even ad mitted I looked like one also. What the distinguishing mark is I don t know, but it seems to be still there, thank Heaven. Salvaging Planes These Americans were camped a few miles from our camp and were engaged in the unique work of sal vaging planes brought down in the French lines—yes, French ones as well as Boche. Many and gruesome were the tales they told of the things they had seen, among them being the story of a tight in the air between two Spads and a Boche plane. The two French men set the Boche afire almost im mediately and the Americans surel> thought it was the end, but the Boche had another think, for to the surprise of all the beholders he jumped from his plane trailing a parachute behind him. Start After Hint The parachute soon opened and he began sailing serenely toward terra tirma But if the spectacle looked serene it had not that effect on the two Frenchmen who had cause'd it all. for angered at thus seeing their quarry getting back to his beloved Fatherland and not at all appeased at having got ljis plane, they promptly dove on the parachute floater and shot to such good effect that he looked like a sieve before he reached the ground. At that he landed on the French side and these Americans helped to bury him. Naturally, they didn t leave out any little gruesome details in relating it to me. However, this incident will point out how unprae ticable is a parachute to a "chasse pilot—sure he can jump, but oh, what a lovely target as he floats slowly downward! lii Cant Diet You know, 1 am back on an infant diet again. Being so far froni the front has made this possible for milk seems to be quite abundant around here despite the fact that f have yet to see a cow. Goats seem to be quite numerous though— and otherwise —and now, X wonder. —Still it tastes very good with my black coffee in the morning. This morning I had chocolate, thanks to the kindness of an Ameri can lieutenant who Just changed from the French service. He gave me a whole cake of Gowney's cooking chocolate, so you can bet for the next few mornings little Walter is going to apply himself diligently to tilling that sweet tooth! It's needed attention for a long time. As for the place at which I buy the milk. I am still wondering how the family survive the awful com bination of dirt and odor, for fts the usual type of rural dwellings— half stable and half home, with a dung heap for a front yard. The other night when bringing mj bottle to be filled with milk 1 passed by a woman and a baby carriage. The lady was occupied in keeping the flies off the baby who seemed to have discovered he was as sweet as his mother thought him, judging from the number around. As polite ness is quite a fixed custom in France, especially in bidding every one the time of day, I did my bit as 1 passed by quite heartily, "Bonjours, Madame!" Mukes a Serious Mistake "Mademoiselle!" responded the lady, with the most hurt expression I have ever seen on the face of a woman. And what could I do but promptly say "pardon!" for the mis take. 1 couldn't trust my voice to say any more, for X should have "busted" right out laughing, for she was the most unpleasant piece of femininity I ever hope to meet. A dwarf in stature with a torm that a sack of wheat would be in sulted to be compared to, hair drawn straight back over a head out of all proportion to the body and skjn that didn't h*lp out any in the beautify ing process. A Rosy Future With all this she was tending baby and since she looked so much like the other frousy spouses running around loose, how could I be blamed for the insult? It surely was that. Not that I give a jigger, but if such a woman still has hopes—golly, I sure have a rosy future ahead of me. Another way I know when it's Sunday in this village is by the way every body dolls up for Sunday school —or whatever one calls that In a Catholic church. The women are all tidied out in their black, go to-meetin' beat. Instead of an old wrapper; while the girls change from wooden shoes and a calico gown to real shoes and a dress that makes some of them look pretty nifty. Speaking about your Maud Mul i ier3, France is the only place I have ' ever seen them in reality. Believe me, when a girl can run around in a pair of wooden clogs, any old rag. jpst so it covers her, never bothers to put up her hair and still look like a dream, she sure is there with the beauty. Boclies Interfere You needn't laugh Dad, for this is not the blindness of love's sweet dream either, but of course, it's just my luck as soon as I discover one of thoee rare peeimens to either be moved to another sector by a heart less army or else the Boehes start an offensive and the girl beats it and there 1 am again stranded high and dry with nothing to do but wait for letters from home, which is a pretty long wait at times. The sun is beginning to shine again however, Qjr right in this lit tle village close by where we are camped, live two of the prettiest girls that ever lived out of a picture. They arc twins at that as well as the nice kind of French girls, and I am still racking my brain for ways and meuns to get acquainted. I don't know whether to "smash up" in the front yard or fall through the roof. I compromised by standing up on one wing and doing two close circles around their farm. Guess I'll have to burn another balloon. That ought to help. Special Mass The other Sunday there was a special mass held in the village church. I presume it was special be cause every pilote and mechanic on the "piste" dolled up and "allezed" for church. Since we eat all our meals in the village, 1 went along. I rested outside and was a much interested spectator as church left •out. That was where I noted the marked difference between weekly and Sunday dress. Even the twins, who arc generally becomingly garb ed. looked quite huggable in their fine black gowns as they came out with the rest of the family. A broth er must have been offered to the God of War. because mother stopped at a grave in the churchyard, and reverently bowing her head said a prayer over it. A Harrisburg Admirer Had a letter yesterday full of wel come news from a Harrisburg ad mirer who signed herself an "Inter ested Telegraph Correspondent." WALTER. War Is More Than Conflict Between Nations Prussian Born Speaker Says at Rally 'Carry on; and hold' up your ideals!" This was the message brought to Harrisburg last night by Dr. Max millian P. E. Groszman, representa tive of the Committee of Public In formation, addressing a national pa meeting in Zion Lutheran t hurch. Although he was born in Prussia, Dr. Groszman did not hesi tate to express his antipathy to pres ent German and Austrian ideals. Running through his entire address was a thread of optimistic thought for the time after the war. "This war is not merely a strife of na tions," he declared. "It is a God given opportunity for men to purge themselves. There are political ideals s * a ' te ' there are spiritual Ideals at stake as well! The war means just this to you a new and wonderful opportunity for sacrifice, for giving, for being truly religious." High praise was given by the speaker to President Wilson for his stand in upholding the rights of loyal German-American citizens. He thanked in behalf of the German born citizens of the country, the President for his efforts. "This country is going through a period of regeneration," he declared optimistically. "We are gradually casting off the fetters of material ism and of superficialism. Think back a few years. How many of us thought the deep thoughts? This was a world of material progress!" "Things are changing now. We are willing to make sacrifices. We realize that life is made for other things than mere joy. We are living in a time that uplifts because it touches us 'way down in our hearts. It is a joy to live in these times." The meettihg was opened with an organ prelude. Hymns of the allied nations were played by the organist. Victor Hausknecht, a violin soloist, played Mascagni's "Intermezzo," from "Cavalleria Rusticana" and Sanger's "Scotch Pastorale." Kip ling's "Recessional," was sung to the setting of DeKoven by a chorus un der the direction of Mrs. E. J. Dece vee, Robert Smith singing an inci dental solo, "The Americans Come." The organ postlude was "The Son of God Goes Forth to War." A social hour with refreshments closed the evening. When It's Auto Supplies and Accessories You Need—GET THEM AT P. H.
