PARIS. Sept. 19.—France is begin
ning to believe that money grows on
trees in the United States. The army
and navy has had several pay days.
Shiny American gold pieces have rap
idly found their way into bank tills
In exchange for French coin of the
realm, and the latter has been lavish
ly distributed* in typical American
fashion.
The French poll looks with envy on
his American fellow r_hter. The poi
lu receives four cents a day for being
a poilu. The British Tommy gets 24
cents a day. The American soldier
gets about seventy cents a day. And
he spends it.
Paris newspapers never cease to
wonder at the spending American
fighters. One told how common, or
dinary stokers off one of Unci" S~m's
battleships came to Paris and cashed
big letters of credit at Paris banks.
Another detailed how an American
Jackie bought a dozen bottles of cham
pagne just because it was so cheap in
France.
Paris hotel keepers have ceased to
be surprised when an American sol
dier or sailor orders an expensive
room. Theatre ticket offices sell high
priced seats to American fighters
without a murmur. Restaurant wait- j
ers are not surprised when they are
told “Just keep the change."
So marked has become the Ameri
can money spending menace that the
Army and Navy Y. M. C. A., which is
a self-appointed guardian over our
fighter's pocket book and morals, has
placarded the following "don'ts” and
“whenevers: ”
"Don’t engage rooms in any hotel j
without first asking the price, includ
ing light and service. And don't think
that your hot bath is gratis. Don't
order a meal in a restaurant without
first consulting the menu, and see
that the prices are plainly written—
otherwise you may be surprised when
you get your bill. "Don't omit to
count your change.
"Don't give all your spare change to
the waiter. Me doesn't expect-more
than ten per cent of the bill up to fifty
francs and then five per cent after
that.
"Don’t accept outside rates in ex
change for pounds and dollars. Go to
a bank, where you will get the right
and lawful exchange.
"Don't ask advice from* strangers.
Go to the people in authority or re
cognized associations of your own
country. Whenever you go into a shop
to buy anything, always ask the price
first. Whenever you order a drink
notice that the price Is marked on the
saucer upon which it is served.

HAVE TEAMS
(By United Press)
NEW YORK, Sept, 18 A new crop
of managers is striking hard at the
records of the old school In baseball.
Youngsters in experience, they are
wrecking the order of things by grasp
ing the game in their hands and
threatening to run It light Into a per
sonally conducted world s series be
fore many moons,
Lee Fohl and Jack Barry, Ameri
can leaguers, are babies as leaders of
baseball clubs, yet this year they have
slammed things around in such an ex
citing fashion that it has taken an
awful lot of effort to convince them
that they haven't the right to run
away with a pennant. In fai t, Barry
has proven so obdurate along these
lines that he hasn't yet been con
vincvid, and has a chance to win his
argument.
Barry's case is hardly as remarkable
as Fold's, for Barry has always been
considered one of the game's smartest
players, and has had experience under
the game’s most astute and studious
managers.
Fohl was just a sort of helper for
Joe Birmingham while Joe was
having his ups and downs in Cleve
land. When he took hold of the In
dians. it was generally believed his
position was only temporary, and that
sooner or later he would surrender his
place to some one better known as
an exponent of winning basebnll. But
Lee fooled the gang. He trotted right
Into the race this year out, made his
team play baseball and was considered
a terrible obstacle last summer. This
year Lee again started it, and while
few critics gave him a chance for the
pennant, Lee himself believed he
would have something to say lbou’t
the disposition of the annual flag, and
he came mighty near getting his wish.
Fohl won't be ready to win a ;n n
nant next year with his present array
of stars, but there is no telling what
he will do to Improve his team. He’s
a builder and is likely to win any time
he gets the right start.
Hugo Bezdok, in the National league
is getting a lot of attention right now,
following his great success in building
a pitching staff for Pittsburg.
