(Correspondence of the Asso. Press.) Paris, Dec. 24.—The French expres- sion “Taisez-vous,” which is nearly equivalent to ‘“Shut your mouth,” though less impolite and familiar, has now become classic through the pos- ters distributed throughout France by Monsieur Millerand, former minister of war, just before he retired from that post, to caution people against revealing military information. The poster reads: “Taisez-vous! Mefiez-vous! oreilles ennemis vous ecoutent.” In English it means: ‘Shut up, or keep silent! trustful! to you.” Hundreds of thousands of these pos- ters have been hung in public places, and the warning they carry has given rise to any number of curious inci- dents. They have served to increase the suspicion of espionage that is everywhere rife and both civilians and soldiers are led into unnecessary alarm by the presence of German- looking persons in public places. If a man talks freely he is often suspected of seeking to draw informa- tion from other people and if he is dumb he is thought to be a listening spy. Such was the case of a loyal Les Be mis- Enemy’s ears are listening Frenchman who happens to be blond ; and corpulent. There were four: wo- men in the compartment of a railroad carriage with him. He lay back in the cornmer with eyes closed, though not asleep. ‘“He’s too blond—to be a French- man,” one woman whispered. “Too stout,” suggested another. “A coun- terfeit Swiss or Dutchman,” a third believed. “And why is he so silent,” added another. “He pretends to be sleeping, but he is only listening.” Denounced to-the military commis- sary at the next station the blond gentleman showed his safe-conduct as a member of the French Chamber of Deputies. GEN. PUTNIK TAKES REST. Paris, Dec. 29, 4:55 a. m.—General Radomir Putnik, chief of the general staff of the Serbian army, has given up his position temporarily by order of | his doctors, according to a despatch from Skutari. Michitch, commander of the First Serbian army will take Gen. Putnik’s place during the latter’s absence, It is stated that Gen. | BANQUET IN HONOR OF SWEDISH HOSTS Ford Peace Party Entertain in Stock- holm Hotel—Mayor Calls Mem- bers of Expedition Vikings. Stockholm, Dec. 29.—The members: of the Ford peace expedition last night gave a banquet in the ball room of a local hotel in honor of their Swed- ish hosts. Many prominent men and women of Stockholm were present. Mayor Carl Lindhagen was among the speakers. During his address the mayor said: “You have come like the Vikings across the sea. You are Vik- ings in a spiritual sense. I agree with the Americans that it is better to try something than nothing.” i Gaston Plantiff thanked the mayor in the name of Mr. Ford for the re- ception given the mission. There were several other speakers, including H. C. Evans of Des Moines, Ia., and Judge Ben Lindsey of Denver. Sena- tor Helen R. Robinson of Denver presided. It was stated last night that Vig- go Cavling, editor of the Copenhagen Politiken had arranged a reception in Copenhagen for the party on Fri- day. | Mme. Rosika Schwimmer and other members of the Ford peace mission left here Tuesday night for Copen- hagen to make arrangements for the reception of the wexpedition there. A telegram received from Copenhag- en citizens by the party said that IDenm&rk was ready to give the Ford delegates the warmest of welcomes. The message stated that Denmark looks with favor upon every sincere effort to end the war. The members of the party said that as they advance toward The Hague there is every indication that the pro- ject is taken more seriously. BELGIANS MADE SUBSCRIBE. Paris, Dec. 29, 5:3 5a. m.—The di- rectors of a Belgian company owning coal mines in the far east having re- fused to subscribe the surplus profits , of the company to the German war loan were made to do so by order of | Gen. Von Bissing, German governor general of Belgium, according to the Havre correspondent of the Matin. The correspondent adds that Gen. Von Bissing has since sequestered the as- sets of all Belgian stock companies. MORE LIGHT FOR PARIS Paris, Dec. 29, 5:05 a. m.—General Michael Joseph Maunoury, military governor of Paris, in a statement giv- en to the Matin expressed the opin- ion that the capital might be more brilliantly lighted without adding to the risk of air raids. The general said that he was inquiring into the question and if the results bore out his belief a return would be made to almost normal lighting.

GERMANS REBUILD ARGONNES RAILWAY Resurrect Mlles of Trackage From Abandoned French Mine (Correspondence of The Associated Press.) In the Argonnes, France, Dec. 24.— “All Aboard for Bagdad.” Such was the humorous suggestion of a springtly German officer as the tiny engine on the Argonnes railway whistled for its departure. From the Argonnes to Bagdad is quite a stretch, even for the imagina- tion, and yet, though the seemingly impossible construction of a railroad through the French mountains, the Germans have in fact established a connection, more or less direct, but nevertheless unbroken from the trenches at the front in the west to the Asiatic city of their Turkish ally. Resurrected To build the Argonnes railway Germans went to an abandoned French mine, and from a depth of some 800 meters resurrected miles of tackage which at no end of care and trouble has been laid on the surface, over land so swampy and difficult that the first train came to grief simply through sinking into the ground. Thus far two main lipes have been constructed—the one 9 centimeters wide (37 inches) and the other 1.5 meters wide (38.5 inches). On the section nearest the actual front, ben- zol engines are used, because of their comparative noiselessness. Farther away from the trenches tiny steam en- gines draw the diminutive trains. The engines have an approximate capacity of four cars—better perhaps, the rails and roadbed can stand that much weight without disappearing from view—and are busy every hour of the twenty-four in the transporta- Trackage. the DRINK A GLASS OF REAL HOT WATER BEFORE BREAKFAST. Says we will both look and feel clean, sweet and fresh and avoid Illiness. —_—— Banitary science nas ot late made rapid strides with results that are of untold blessing to humanity. The lat- est application of its untiring research is the recommendation that it is as necessary to attend to internal sanita- tion of the drainage system of the hu- man body as it is to the drains of the house. Those of us who are accustomed to | feel dull and heavy when we arise, splitting headache, stuffy from a cold, foul tongue, nasty breath, acid stom- ach, can, instead, feel as fresh as al daisy by opening the sluices of the | system each morning and flushing out | the whole of the internal poisonous stagnant matter. Everyone, whether well, should, cach morning 'before breakfast, drink a glass of real hot] water with a teaspoonful of limeston. phosphate in it to wash from the stom ach, liver and bowels the previous day's indigestible waste, sour bile and poisonous toxins; thus cleansing, sweetening and purifying the entire alimentary canal before putting more food into the stomach. The action of hot water and limestone phosphate on an empty stomach is wonderfully in- vigorating, It cleans out all the sour fermentations, gases, waste and acid- ity and gives one a splendid appetite for breakfast. While you are enjoying ! your breakfast the rhosphated hot water is quietly extracting a large vol- ume of water from the blood and get- ting ready for a thorough flushing of all the inside organs. The millions of people who are both- ered with constipation, bilious spells, stomach trouble, rheumatic stiffness; others who have sallow skins, blood disorders and sickly complexions are urged to get a quarter pound of lime- ailing, sick or stone phosphate from the drug store. This will cost very little, but is suffi- cient to make anyone a pronounced crank on the subject of internal san- itation. tion of troops, supplies, ammunition | and, when possible, wounded. | Automobiles Rebuilt. Automobiles which nave come to grief on the terrible roads of the Ar- gonnes have been rebuilt, and have been equipped with 37 or 38.5 guage Wheels of steel in order that they may serve as ‘“‘cars de luxe” for officers who have to travel from one point to an- other behind the front. The sight of officers lolling back in dismantled ma- | chines towed by diminutive Jlocomo- tives invariably provokes, first mer- riment, and then admiration for the system that has literally made some- thing out of nothing and has found a way to overcome the difficulties of the almost irapossible Argonnes roads. These difficulties have been enor- mous. Rainy wcather has been the rule rather than the exception in the Argonnes for months, and it has been a gigantic task to keep the roads— r_utted by supply trains and ammuni- tion columns and artillery—from de- generating into mere bogs. The task of maintaining regular and workable communications with the extreme | front has be¢en unbelievably hard. Mrs. Charles B. Hotchkiss is visiting her father, at Catskill Bay, N. Y., for a few days. & ESTABLISHED 1886 <& Globe Clothing House 30th Annual Sale Clothing, Shoes, Hats We have only two sales a year . : — 00— It’s too good an opportumty to miss .

Washington, Dec. 29.—While the I navy general board has recommended the construction of forty-two battle- ships during the last twelve years and secretaries of the navy have reduced them to twenty-nine, congress has au- thorized only twenty. These figures are disclosed in the summary of recom- | mendations made by the board and by the secretaries published as an ap- pendix to Secretary Daniels’ annual report. In 1903 the general board laid down the policy that the fleet should con- sist of forty-eight battleships of the first line by 1910, a policy to which it has faithfully adhered up to this year, when it abandoned specific figures and declared the flett should equal the strongest afloat by not later than 1925.
