PARIS, Jan. 6—(Corespondence ol
the Associated Press)—The familial
Seine barges that brought wine uf
the river to Bercy, sand to Solferino
flour to Saint Bernard, cool to Ivry
and lumber to the Snint Martin cnnal
have changed their vocations. Some
of them have gone up toward tho front
to bring up the sinews of war, in
eluding 16,000 tons of coal dally.
The “guepes,” those madly pufTing
little iioats that formerly tugged heavy
loads of Imports from Rouen and made
Paris the next thing to a seaport, are
dividing their efforts between the con
veying ot supplies and the protection
of communications with west coast.
With quick flrers and 3-lnchers aboard
they have constantly patrolled the
3eine as far as Havre with a view to
iny hardy attempt by the Germans on
ihis Important route.
The "bateaux mouches,” those swift
ind agreeable passenger boats that
take you so comfortably up to Charen
ton and to the Bois de Vincenes or
down to Saint Cloud, Sevres, Suresnes
ind the Bois du Boulogne, in summer,
ire doing what they can to keep up
the familiar aspects of Paris, but be
cause of imperious military regula
tions they are now held up at Auteuil;
there, all passengers must dlsemhnrk
ind show that their papers are in
arder before proceeding further.
The thousands of canal boats that
n times of peace ply along the Yser,
the Lys, and the cannls have followed
the refugees of those regions down
the line of France's interminable wa
terways and found a snug harbor at
the Tolbiac bridge; the refugees have
rejoined them there and, thanks to
me of the innumerable relief commit
tees born of the war, they have been
fitted up into comfortable lodging
louses; several thousand refugees
'rom Flanders are housed, fed and
iven washed there, for there is a din
ing barge and a laundry barge aa we!
as sleeping barges In this floating vl
, lage that will be remembered as on
of the most picturesque side lights o
the war.
The quays of the Seine have somr
thing of the appearance of a perpetua
summer Sunday with the bookworm
out of town. The books are mostl;
locked up in their boxes and the anti
qunrles spend most of their time dip
cussing strategy Instead of drlvlni
bargains for books, coins or stnmps.
Flower merchants of the Qual de
Fleurs have nearly all moved to th<
neighborhood of the military cemc
teries, but their neighbors, the Seim
fishermen are there, drawn by that at
traction, seemingly unconnected witl
fish, that even war Is unable to dimln
ish.

II GUARDS
COMPLAIN OF
TREATMENT
LONDON, Jan. 6—(Correspondence
of the Associated Press)—The home
guard organization, which have sprung
up like mushrooms since the bombard
ment of the Hartlepools and Scar
borough, complain that they are not
only receiving small support from the
•War Office but are being discouraged
by Lord Kitchener.
The idea of the home guard Is an
armed, semi-mlllltary organization,
ready to be called out In case of a
German invasion of the British Isles.
Only those who can show good cause
for not enlisting In the regular army
are supposed to join. These Include
men over the age of active service,
civil servants and men engaged In the
manufacture of arms and war mater
lal.
One regulation imposed by the War
Office, which has done much to take
the enthusiasm out of the home guard
movement, Is that requiring the mem
bers to sign an agreement to enlist In
the army for foreign service if called
upon to do so by the War Office.
There is no legal way to enforce such
a promise, but the members feel It as
a strong moral obligation. Recruit
ing officers have been visiting the
corps already to induce enlistments
in the regular force. Another dis
couraging war office order relates to
equipment. Only arms and ammuni
tion are supplied nnd It is forbidden
the corps to wear uniforms except a
sleeve band, or any badges or titles of
rank, a thing that makes discipline
and drill difficult.
To get around the uniform question,
the men have been supplying them
selves with a civilian dress of uniform
color and cut and made somewheft on
military lines.
T lie suggestion has been made thal
the volunteers, if unable to secure
Concessions from the War Office re
garding the objectionable rules, pro
reed to establish an Independent, home
guard. <f'his would act without offleia
sanction, but would do what It coulc
to aid recruiting.
It is charged that the War Office
aims to prevent any man joining the
civilian guards who would be liable te
service were the country put undei
conscription.
WELLTO DO CORPORAL FEF1
WIFE WELL CARED FOR
LONDON, Jan. 6—(Oorrespondencf
of the Associated Dress)—Illustrative
of the social leveling influence of war
the following incident is told:
A new commanding officer was ques
tionlng a smart young corporal.
“Are you married?” asked the offl
cer.
"Yes, sir.”
“Don’t you think you ought to makf
her some allowance out of your pay,’
continued the officer.
“If you think it necessary, sir,” re
plied the private, “I will, sir. Vu
keeping up the house and car and al
lowing her six hundred pounds a year
but if you think an extra sixpence s
day would be any good to her, I an:
perfectly willing."

THE HAGUE, Jan. 6—(Correspon
dence of the Associated Press)—The
i
Hotel ties Itxles here Is the hcadquart
era of as varied and scattered na
tionalities ns one can find the world
■
over. At the dinner hour one evening
The Associated Press correspondent
saw diplomatic representatives of
fourteen nations. The diversity of
opinion about the war in such an as
sembly can well be imagined. One
neutral commented on the unfortunate
condition which made It necessary for
Holland to keep her army in the field
month after month.
“Yes,'* said a German, “but she
must be ready if England threatens to
violate the neutrality of the Scheldt
and get up to Antwerp.”
I low ridiculous,” replied another,
"Holland has but one motive in keep
ing her army in the field and that Is to
fight her hardest if Germany tries to
treat her as she treated Belgium.”
In the city of The Peace Palace all
nationalities can hold and express
opinons that would get them Into
trouble in almost any other country
in Eiyope.
In diplomatic circles here, by the
way, American women who have mar
ried Europeans are conspicuous. No
table among them are Madame Jonk
heer John Loudon (who was Miss
Lydia Eustis), the wife of the Dutch
Minister of Froeign Affairs; Lady
Alan Johnstone (who was Miss An
toinette Pinchot) wife of the British
Minister; and Mrs. Ferdinand Von
Strunim (who was Miss Hoyt, of
Washington), wife of the first secre
tary of the German legation.
LIFE OF AEROPLANE MOTORS
NOT OVER 350 HOURS
PARIS, Jan. 6—(Correspondence of
the Associated Press)—The life of
aeroplane motors in use Is not over
350 hours, and to assure this much of
them they must be taken apart, clean
ed every 50 hours, according to the
experience of French aviators since
the war began.
As the cost of one of the motors,
when ordered by the hundreds, is 15,
900 francs each, the expense Is a heavy
one. One factory near Paris is de
livering 150 new aeroplane motors a
month.
It is difficult to know details of the
aeroplane work, but it is assumed
that from five to ten aeroplanes go out
of action each d^y. disabled by hostile
(Ire or wear and tear.
The military aviation schools are
training many hundreds of young avi
ators, so that there Is a constant re
newal of the human material at the
front, and a steady Increase in the
number of air machines in action.
MOTOR SOOP KITCHENS AS
FIRST AID TO iNJURED
LONDON, Jan. fc—(Corre8pon.'.e.;ce
1 af the Associated Press)—The first
motor soup kitchen is now on its way
to the front, a dozen others, bought
jointly by the British Bed Cross and
St. John's Ambulance will soon follow.
The motor soup kitchen Is entirely
a new provision for the wounded, its
functions being to keep in close touch
with the field ambulances and provide
a hot, nourishing drink for those who
have received first aid. Soup, meat
extracts, tea, coffee and cocoa will be
served. The motors carry their own
water supplies.
A number of courageous women
volunteered for this service, but their
services were not accepted, as the
war department does not allow women
to go as near to the firing line as the
soup wagons would have to go.
Well I guess so Feb. 6th.
