Even the restaurants observed the con- servation holiday in no: selling ci- gars, cigarettes or tobacco. It is a safe bet that there was mere grubbing for cigars and. cigarettes than ever before, and the men who haqd the fore- thought to lay in a stock were classed as good samaritans. On the first Mon- day when the fuel administrator’s or- ders were in effect, there was divided opinion as to the operation of the or- der in regard to drug stores, and there- fore there was opportunity to patron- ize the soda fountain and purchase to- Pacco commodities. But the orders ‘were g0 clarificd that there was no di- vision of opinion, and the orders re- ceived the strictest compliance. It was reported that small stores, far removed from the business centre and conducted by people of foreign birth were {gnoring the federal orders, and_ these reports came to Thomas E. Brown, chief of police. It was the evident desire of the people of the town, to respect the federal orders, and the police chief took it upon himself to see to it that there was strict com- pliance. After being satisfied that there was observance in the business centre, Chief Brown commandeered an automobile and visited every store on the outskirts and made a thorough in- vestigation. He stated at the outset that if any violations of the orders were found they would be immediate- Iy reported to the federal authorities. The lid was on tight at the saloons and licensed liquor clubs and even the wise birds could find no place where they could obtain intoxicating drink of any descripiion.

We could have sent over, as Great Britain, our regular army, and in'a very short preparation have put it into action and suffered exactly what Great Britain suffered with her. ‘contemptible’ little army’ as it was called by their ad- versuries. Our army would have giv- en as good an account of itself as the British army did, ‘but it would have been destroyed: like the British army, and there would have been no nucleus on which to build this new army that was to come over a little later, and it was deemed wiser to send over a reg- uvlaw division, but not to send over our whole regular army at that time, How France Welcomed Our Troops. “Then what happened was that that regular wWivision went over and the Deople of France kissed the hems of their garments as they marched up the streets of Paris: the old veterans, wounded in this war, legless and arm- less, stumbling along on crutches, per- haps, as they went up the streets of Paris with their arms around the neck of American ‘soidiers. Not a single man in that division was unaccom- panied by a veteran. America had gone to France, and the French people rose with a sense of gratitude and hope- fulness that had mever beem in them before. “Of course they welcomed the Brit- ish, but their need was not so great when the British went. Of course they welcomed the British, but there were ties between them and us which had not been between them and the British and so when our troops went there was an instant and spontaneous rise in the morale of the French, but an equally instant and snontaneons . iistence that these soldiers who came from America should continue to come in an unbroken stream.
