FRENCH TOTS’ HEARTS (By United Press.) With the American Army in France, Aug. 22.—(By Mail,)—At least one generation of French men and women will idolize Americans. American soldiers have won their way into the hearts of children of France everywhere in the army zone. The American loves children, as can be seen in any village where U. 8. troops are stationed. One never pgs- es through villages without ss;elng soldiers on repose playing ! with French youngsters. The children crowd around the first Yankee they see, to “roughhouse’” and play ball. These are two forms of sport the French youngster had not known. French grownups do not like exer- cise that musses them up, and hence “rough-housing’ with the “kids’* was unknown until the Americans ar- rived. French kiddies take to it like ducks to water, and an American is a popular article because he will let youngsters clamber all over him, and play. The Yankees like it, too, for it seems a bit like nome. They have taken it as a duty to teach French yvoungsters to play ball, and in every village in the evening one sees doz- ens of games of catch going on, usu- ally a Yankee playing with French boys and girls. Incidentally, while the Yankees are ] Americanizing the coming generation of France, they are winning the hearts of mothers in France, who can hardly understand how and why the Americans will bother themselves to notice littlte folk. It is a Yankee characteristic whi h wins France. ) P Be a Booster for the 'Foumh'LIhérly Loan Bond Sale; Help Your Country Win t'he‘ War.

The measure now will be sent to confer- ence for adjustment of difference be- tween the two ho' ses on approp tion items, The house adopted, 103 to 61, an amenament permitting the importa- tion of wine untit next May 1, which was inserted by the house committee to meet objections of the 1ial French, Spanish and Portuguese g ernments. As orininally drawn the measure would have prohibited the importation of wines immediately after its approval by the president. Amendments Defeated All efforts otherwise to amend the legislation were defeated. A preposal by Representative Kahn of Califor nia, Republican, to extend the effec- tive date for prohibiting the sale of wine and beer to December 81,1919, was defeated, 112, to 52, as was one by Representative Breshlin of Penn- sylvania, Democra’, to change the date for stopping the manufacturing of beer and wine from next May 1 to December 1, 1919, Decision Reversed. ° After voting in the committee of the whole to accept an amendment vermitting the importation of wine until May 1, the house later reversed ts decision and by a vote of 121 to 59 retained the original senate pro- vision that importation of wine must sease when the moasure becomes ef- fective upon its signature by the pres- fdent. The amendment was approved by the house agriculture commitiee to meet an objection by the govern- ments of France, Italy, Spain and Portugal. Four other amendments, two of which sought to have the government pay for the liquer unsold when prohi- bition becomes effective, also were rejected. Won't Pay for Unsold. Representative Gordon of Ohio, proposed that the internal revenue hureau be authorized to make the vayment, but was ruled out of order 28 was a subsequent proposal by Rep- resentative Sabath of Illinois, to pro- vide a fund of $250,000,000 for the same purpose. The other amendments voted down were by Representative Igoe of Mis- souri, who sought to.limit prohibition to the declaration of peace instead of the demobilization of the army and by Representative Cannon of Tllinois, who tried to have stricken out the provision recently enacted into law, authorizing the president to estab- lish “dry’’ zones abouf mines, muni- tion planis and other factories, ——Buy Liberty Bondg——- DRY AND SUFFRAGE BILLS EXPECTED TO COME UP THIS WEEK Washington, Sept. 24.—Wartime prohibition and woman suffrage, sub- jects which have been .efore Con- gress for many months, probably will be brought to a vote this week, while the war revenue bill is entering on its third stage-—revis.on by the sen- ate finance committee of the draft adopted by the house last week.
