BUY WAR-SAVINGS STAMPS American Girl Travels by Aéroplahe, Handcar, Tank and Wheelbarrow to Sing for Soldiers CTRESSES who have their own cars or the use of ele- zant limousines may well bite their beautifully manicured nails with envy of Miss Kate Horis- berg, who has been singing in Y. M. C. A. huts to entertain the American Expeditionary Force soldiers in France. In one tour she was conveyed ¢rom one stand to another variously o . A side-car, A limousine, An airplane, A tank, A camionette, A saw-mill carriage, Atop a pile of logs on a timber drag, On 2 railroad handcar, and finally In a wheelbarrow. An army truck was included among her prospective conveyances, but it became mired and could not be used. 2 Before the United States entered the war, Miss Horisberg, a Balti- more girl, was a dramatic soprano doing church, concert and light opera singing. She toured forty weeks in “Every Woman,” playing the role of Conscience. When the Y. M. C. A. took up the glganti1 task of entertaining the American! boys in addition to furnishing them with mental, spiritual and physical refreshment and recreation, she was enlisted by the Red Triangle's entertainment bureau for concert work in the war zone. She went over with the first quartette sent by the “Y,” the Liberty Quartette, in December and has not signified her intention of quitting the work after more than half a year. Miss Horisberg’s singing tour took her to many American camps where she appeared on the stage at the Y. M. C. A. huts, the soldiers’ theatre in the war zone. Overflow audiences greeted her, for the Yankee boys in France have learned to depend on the “Y” to keep them supplied with the best, clean, healthy entertainment of the sort that is a link with home. The young mou in olive drab who are fighting abroad for democracy ap- preciate thoroughly the unselfish ; work which the men and women of the Red Triangle are doing for thent there, the majority of them at the i risk of their lives. The remarkable . series of rides on unusual vehicles ito which tha boys treated Miss Horisberg was a manifestation of their appreciation of the “Y” work as well as of their delight at chape- roning an American girl through the war zone. Her novel tour started in a speci- men of that quaint but useful type of army vehicle known popularly as a “bathtub,” the rakish convoy of a motorcycle. Having swallowed enough dust while in this, she was transferred to a more prosaic limou- sine, in which she arrived at an avi- ators’ camp. She sang her way into thd affections-of the flyers, who took her by airplane to her next stop. This concert was for the boys of the first American tank division in France and, not to be outdone by the aviators, the tankers insisted that they must “treat 'er rough” by a ride in a traveling fort to the next stand. “It wasn't as comfortable as the airplane, but it was more thrilling,” said the singer, when she arrived at the next “Y” hut. “The boys kept taking short cuts that seemed to necessitate going over the tops of young forests and across huge ditches and shell holes. If they wanted to amaze me, they suc- ceeded. I held on desperately and hoped for the best.” The tank landed her in a division of engineers, who promptly trotted out the greatest luxury they pos- sessed, offering it delicately but firmly, although it was not Saturday night. They isolated Miss Horis- berg in a little shack beside the railroad and backed up a perfectly good American locomotive, to which they attached a hose with its busi- ness end in the shack. And thus, “for the first time in France,” Miss Horisberg had all the hot water she wanted for 4 bath and shower. Thus refreshed, the singer went on by camionette—called a flivver in the United States, to a lumber mill, where she entertained the men of the night shift who had missed all the shows which had visited that neck of the woods. So that there would be no competition with her voice, the machinery was stopped during the concert. To fatten her average as champion diversified rider of the world, the lumbermen had her mount a saw-carriage and ride through the process of sawing a log into oneand-ahalf inch boards, thus making her an actress who not only trod but rode the boards. On the following day she rode through the forest atop a mountain of logs dragged by a tractor, a bumpy journey to which the tank ride had hardened her. Then fol- lowed the hand-car ride to her next stop where, because the truck sent for her was mired, she finished her strange tour in a wheel-barrow. @ETE R & to1e e OPPOSES LANDERS Fails to Prevent Nomination for | | That Gearge M. ders does not | have the democratic party behind him | las a siagle unit was hinted last night | at the democratic convention when | Councilman M.
