U.S.A_ - John Dos Passos [277]
Back in Paris it suddenly got very exciting, so many people they knew turned up, Eveline's brother George who was an interpreter at the headquarters of the S.O.S. and a Mr. Robbins, a friend of J.W.'s who was always drunk and had a very funny way of talking and Jerry Burnham and a lot of newspaper men and Major Apple-ton who was now a Colonel. They had little dinners and parties and the main difficulty was sorting out ranks and getting hold of people who mixed properly. Fortunately their friends were al officers or correspondents who ranked as officers. Only once Don Stevens turned up just before they were having Colonel Appleton and Brigadier Gen-eral Byng to dinner, and Eveline's asking him to stay made things very awkward because the General thought Quakers were slackers of the worst kind, and Don flared up and said a pacifist could be a better patriot than a staff officer in a soft job and that patriotism was a crime against humanity anyway. It would have been very disagreeable if Colonel Appleton who had drunk a great many cock--228-tails hadn't broken through the little gilt chair he was sit-ting on and the General had laughed and kidded the Colonel with a bad pun about avoir du poise that took everybody's mind off the argument. Eleanor was very sore about Don, and after the guests had left she and Eveline had a standup quarrel. Next morning Eleanor wouldn't speak to her; Eveline went out to look for an-other apartment.

Americans swim broad river and scale steep banks of canal in bril iant capture of Dun. It is a remarkable fact that the Compagnie Generale Transatlantique, more familiarly known as the French Line, has not lost a single vessel in its regular passenger service during the entire period of the war RED FLAG FLIES ON BALTIC
"I went through Egypt to join Al enby;" he said, "I flew in an aeroplane making the journey in two hours that it took the children of Israel forty years to make. That is something to set people thinking of the progress of modern science." Lucky cows don't fly In Mobile, in Mobile

The German government requests the President of the United States of America to take steps for the restoration of peace, to notify al the bel igerents of this request and to invite them to delegate plenipotentiaries for the purpose of taking up negotiations. The German Government accepts, as a basis for the peace negotiations, the programme laid down by the President of the United States in his message to Congress of January 8th, 1918, and in his subsequent pronouncements, par-ticularly in his address of September 27th, 1918. In order to avoid further bloodshed the German government requests the President of the United States to bring about the immediate conclusion of a general armistice on land, on the water, and in the air.
