'English word she knew "Daddy!"
A hundred American soldiers wheeled
at the call, and rushed to the child.

BRITISH SWEEPERS TAKING
MIS OUT OF DARDANELLES
LOTtoON. Nov. 2. By the Associated
Press.) A large fleet of the latest
types of British mine sweepers has
begun th tedious task of clearing the
Dardanelles of mines and other ob
structions This Work, together with
other safeguards which the allies con
sider necessary before the allied fleet
enters the tortuous waterway leading
past Constantinople and through the
Bnsporous to the Blaca sea, will take
several days.
A fortnight ago the allied fleet tested
the efficiency of the rorts Inside the
Dardanelles bv dropping a few shells
on them. The reply of the Turks was
quick and fairly accurate, showing that
the fortifications are stilt probably In
good shape. The BO-mlle passage
through the waterway is a veritable
sea of mines and otner obstructions.
IN FRANCE TO
NEW YORK, Nov. !. Demobilisa

declared, according to a Statement made
here by Oen. T. Coleman DuFont, who
has Just returned from a two month'
visit to the Western front.
Declaring that, his vrews wef the
reflection of official opinion among the
allied forces, he asked tht Americans
accustom themselves to the idea of a
long demobilisation as they had to
that of a long war.

"Lord hies you, little un'," said one
big fellow, huskily. "I've a kiddle Just
your size back In Clod's country, and I
reckon a lot of these other fellows

Jean was born In Manrenaa, Spain,
last November. Her "daddy," who Is
now chief purchasing agent of rubber
for the American forces In France, went
to Spain In 1918 to build the first rub
ber plant fever established In that coun
try. Just when Jean artd her "daddy" were
beginning to understand each other and
have areat times together, he volun
teered his service to his country, ndS
asked to be permitted to Join the Amer
ican foroes In Franc.
Jean, Being a real American baby, In
spite of her Spanish birthplace, may
have forgotten the quaint old place
where he was bom, and the strange
and wonderful thing which she has
seen. Maybe she has forgotten the
American soldiers, too and the kisses.
But she hasn't forgotten the sweetest
word that many American soldiers will
hear when they come back "Daddy."
