There's a brave littie band of Bel- glans down at Fort Totten who have ‘Deen in the city for threo days, and not ® banner has been swung to the) breeze for them; not a brava sounded | for them excopt the few cheers that greeted them on Memorial Day as they marched along Riverside Drive im the parade. And they're a bunch of heroes every * one of them, who have fought foot us| the foot with the Germans since bloody Boche set his savage heel into the sacred soll of Belgium. They were of the hardy men which saved the world for civilization and humanity. They were a part of thé stopgap which held back the con fident Germans till the French and the British got on their feet and halted the Boche at the Marne. They came from Russia after three years’ fighting, and before that they had fought from Vise to Verdun, They are on their way back to France @0 fight on the western front, having aaas their way from Kteff to Viadi- vostok, whence they crossed the Pa- aifie to San Francisco, From San Francisco to New York their progress ‘was @ march of triumph, They were feted and paraded, dined and wined and treated like princes in the city by the Golden Gate, and the people were loath to let them go after a week's celebration, They were features of Red Cross) parades in San Francisco, Salt Lake, Omaha, Ch nne and Chi The | Red Cross drive was over when they reached New York.

It was the fine armories for the Anzacs and the big hotels for the Blue Devils, Down at Fort Totten the Belgians are quartered in brown tents in the mud—not that they care, tbey’re used to it—awaiting the bugle call to summon them once more | to France, And nearly every one of them wears the Russian cross for valor and the Belgian cross for glory, and his breast is bertbboned to bear testimony to the number of battles he has been in.

AR shes Important Notice To all Telephone Users N June 3rd, we will be obliged to discontinue answering requests for the ‘‘time of day.”’ In New York City alone, 250,000 of such requests are made daily. The answering of these calls requires the operators’ services and the use of the equipmem. We have gladly furnished this special service in normal times. War conditions, however, have greatly increased the demands for necessary service, which makes it imperative that telephone facilities be conserved in every possible way. The present supply of transportation, labor, raw material and equipment is only sufficient to meet the demands of the Government and of industries either directly or indirectly connected with the prosecution of the War. It is therefore becoming more and more necessary to reduce non-essential services of every kind. The telephone service is necessarily affected by this general condition and its less essential uses must also be restricted. We are sure our patrons will realize the importance of cooperating with us in this respect.
