Paris, January 1.—A Y. M. C. A.
secretary who has just arrived here,
tells of a doughboy who entered one
of the Red Triangle canteens up in a
rest area which several hundred sol
diers on t^ieir way southward, had
just cleaned out of almost its entire
stock. The late comer dug down into
his khakis and produced a 50 franc
note.
“What can I buy for this?” he
asked.
The tired little man in charge of the
place pointed up at the empty shelves.
“What? No candy, no chocolates,
no gum? Nothin’ ?”
“Won’t be for several hours,” said
the “Y” man. j
The visitor then announced he
would have “one o’ them little paper j

SOLDIER VISITS CITY.
Don Matthews, formerly with the
Independent office, was here between
trains today at noon, going home to
Yellville from El Paso, Texas, where
he has been for several months in
service, having been in the motor
truck department. He stated h^was
in the same company with Lockwood
Burkett and saw him a few days ago
getting ready for a long trip, being
sent out on special duty. Mr. Mat
thews did not know when Lockwood
would get home, as work was yet
plentiful. There are lots of soldiers
yet in camps. He told of a narrow es
cape the boys had just before the flu
broke out, which prevented them
from being sent to Siberia. They
were ordered to pack and all motoA- 1
trucks were wrapped and sent to th<^»
coast for shipment. A few days ago
they were brought back and on ev
ery one was the mark which denoted
they were to have been sent to Sibe
ria. The influenza broke out in
their camp just at this time, theii
regiment losing heavily.
In speaking of the influenza, Mr.
Matthews paid a beautiful tribute to
the late H. C. Levy, formerly of our
r-it.v. who trave his life as a sacrifice
