CONTEST, ALL RIGHT PARIS, July 21.—(By Mail.)—Just who won the war is still a live ques- tion of debate, but there Is no argu- ment as to which nation’s warriors come*off best in matrimonial contests in France. The Yanks won. A typical example of how com- pletely the American doughboys in France outclassed their British, Bel- gian and other rivals is furnished by the marriage bureau of La Rochelle, a small seaport down on the coast between Bordeaux and St. Nazaire. A total of 63 girls of the seaport town married foreign soldiers during the course of the war. Twenty-three of them were won by Americans. Belgium came in second best, carry- ing off 19 brides. Other armies were represented in the following propor- tions: Italians, English, 3; Swiss, 3; Russians, 3; Spanish, 2; Danes 1; Poland, Greece, Cuba and Turkey each scored one.

He wore a red flag pinned to his breast; he was singing the Marsellaise, A policeman leaped upon him and led him away, the man singing wildly—feigning in- sanity, I thought. Two days later there came a com- motion in the street. A mob of thou- sands of men and women swept my window, shouting the Fr r of rebellion, Later I heard soldiers were fighting the po- lice, and the police were falling. A high police official lived in the same apartment house we occupied He was standing in the street, 1 saw a cavalryman rush up, swing his| |saber and split the police official's | |skull.

For two days this gun spoke at in- tervals, Each time men fell. Rebel soldiers came to my room, asking the way to the roof. I heard shouts, and saw the soldiers in the street below dragging a girl—the danghter of the Police official! It was she who had operated the| gun, killing dozens of the men who had slain her father, They dragged her into the court- yard. I watched in horror as the sol- diers iled furniture in the yard, bound the girl hand and foot, and set fire to the pile, I ran from the window; I could | not bear that sight. I heard cries The girl was} dead. How to get food was our greatest Problem, We had a ham and a small cask of flour. One day, when I was and I was confronted by the dirtiest bunch of soldiers 1 had seen off a| battlefield, They entered, demanding food; found the flour cask and sifted { thru their filthy fingers in an effort | to find jewels.

BROWN Seattle's Leading Dentist 106 Columbia Street I have been studying crown and bridgework for a quarter of a cen- tury, and have worked faithfully to master a system that is safe, sani- tary and satisfactory. Other den- tists can do it if they will work and learn. Skill and genius are acquired by experience and arduous labor. My system of bridgework is simple and inexpensive, made with a view to durability and utility. A toothbrush will easily reach and cleanse every: sufrace of my sanitary bridgework; it ig cleaner than the average natural tooth, No charge for consultation, and ny Sh de Suaranteed, lo not operate on e's pock- etbooks, TI have elevated. dentistry to a professional busi tandard.
