MAIL TRAINS ~ RUN TO FRONT Delivery: of Letters to Soldiers _ + Expedited Washington, Sept. 7—-In the en- deavor to expedite the mail to and from the boys in France, General Pershing at last has real mail trains Tunning over the railroads under con- trol of the American army. It is ex- pected that much o fthe delay and confusion of the past will naw be ob- viated. There are now in operation mail trains between Tours and general headquarters, between one of the base ports and Paris, via Tours, and from two other base ports to Tours, where, the central postoffice of the American army is located. One is to be estab- lished ‘between Paris and general headquarters. Each train has a postal car, an ex- press care and two bulk cars, with three men'to each crew. Strung along the ‘cars/are sacks, one for each sta- tion’ along the route, and the letters are sorted in time to be thrown-off at the proper places The system, copied from that in use on railway mail trains in this country, has been adapted to the special needs of the army. So far the greatest value of the new service has been to speed up communication between points in France. The official correspondence that used to take two days now takes two hours. It also enables friends in the army stationed at different points, to exchange letters quickly. To expedite the delivery of mail, transfer clerks have been placed at every station in France where mail is to be’ distributed. Their duty is to receive the sacks and superintend their quick distribution. This has given rise to a new profession in the -army—the enlisted postmaster. | | ters of the Y. W. C. A. bationers. Dr. Stelzle Says Today: “HIS MOTHER WAS SO PROUD OF HIM” | By THE REV. CHARLES STELZLE. You could tell at a glance that he was a “successful” man—this “chief mourner’ ‘at his mother’s funeral. The firm mouth, the steady, slow- moving but no unkindly eyes, ‘but chiefly his air of ‘strength and confl- dence made you feel that he had made “good. ‘But he was strangely quiet as he sat in a corner of the room, before his mother’s friends came in to pay their last. respects to this humble, hardworking widow who had made good in her own way—she hag raised 4 family of half a dozen children ‘at- fer fier husband died—and he left ‘her without a cent—and they were all do- ing well—largely because, of the start she gave them in character and dis- cipline. * This first born of hers had been “good” to his mother—at least, she gaid so. He had ‘paid her rent ‘occa- fionally—when he thought of it—he gent her a little present. Called from a city’a thousand miles &way, where he had gone on a busi- ness trip, and arriving too late to say “goodbye’—she hdd been calling for him constantly in the last days of her delirium—this son of whom his mother had been so proud was sore- hearted on the day of her funeral. He was being tortured by ‘the recol- lection that he hadn’t written to his mother in a year—although he knew that seh treasured his letters like a real ,over—tucking them away in her work-basket and rereading them doz- ens of times, usually with tears of pride in her ey \ He remembered’ that he hadn't sent her a single flower in many a month, although she was pathetically fond of the tinlest blossom—and she ‘lived, in the crowded city where there were no gardens, while he lived in the suburbs and had an acre of flowers growing riotously. : She need the fresh air during tthat last year of her life—the doctor said— Lut she depended mostly on the trolley -car for her outings—and ft was hard for her to walk to the street car—al- though it would have been an easy matter for him to have sent. her his ear, occasionally.

Waugh in the Country Gentleman. | Speaking of the supremacy of \cer- | tain American varieties, particularly the Morello, Montmorency.and Early Richmond, he writes: challenged, Other varieties have been offered by dozens and almost by hun- dreds. \ “The greatest competition arose through the introduction of the so- called Russian cherries, ‘These came along with the other Russian fruits, mainly in the importations of 1870 and 1883, and were exploited mainly in the Northwest states. * “Prof. J. L.. Budd propagated sev- eral of these sorts and recommended them highly. In this company were included Vladimir, Lutovka, Sklanka, Ostheim, George Glass, Double Natte, Lithauer, - Brusseler, Braune, Bessit- rabian, Bunte Amerelle and Spaete Amarelle, There were some others also, bearing the same flavor of north- east Germany and southwest Russia.” ‘ Pure Water for Men In Trenches.

The Countess Laura Godatva de Turczynowicz, who was living in Poland when that coun- try was invaded by the Germans and of the Polish Grey Samaritans. | The Polish réconstruction commit- ‘tee, of which the countess was pres- ident, and the war work council of the wWational board°ef the Young Wom- en's ‘Christian Ass$ciation Nive united their forces to fiirther a plan which provides fo rthe recruiting and train- roup of young Polish women ica, to be known as the Polish Samaritans. we : Mrs. Jokn R. Mott is chairman of the joint committee. One ‘hundred are being trained to be in France and to do re- construction work. in Polish villages. Already there has been,,an official re- quest for these girls. The uniform of the Polish Grey Samaritans is a plain grey dress with a soft grey veil with a red Greek cross on the front of the waist.. The first of the Polish Grey Samaritans to complete the course and wear a uniform in the: United States was Mile. Stephanie Kozlouska. The uniform: is’ now familiar, in Michigan, Ohio, Missouri, New York, New Jer- sey and other states.- In any. com- munity where a group of Polish cit{- zens is interested in this plan, the Young Women’s Christian Associa- tion is anxious to co-operate and will work with the Polish people in ap- pointing a committee with répresent- atives from both sides. All funds for the training of the Polish Giéy, Sa- maritans are proyided by the war uncil of the National Young Women’s Associatio=. The primary object is service in and for Polai but if the war continues beyond the completion of their training course, the Polish Grey Samaritans will g6 wherever there is need of their serv- ice—in Poland, France, or any of the other allied countries of Europe. The work began in Cleveland, 0., where la large probationer class, including twenty-five Samaritans, finished this preliminary training in -June. Tren- ton, N.
