FRENCH WOOD WON'T BURN Br 1'XlTtD PREFS.1 I'AIlIfi, March 8. (Uy mail) American soldiers have had aorne hard things to say about French firewood during the now declining "Winter. It has even bren suggested that wood merchants have soaked their product in water for the same purpose that a dishonest grocer puis siind in sugar. Wood, In France, is sold by weight. The following true tale comes from an American officer. A company of American soldiers on the march bad "billei cd" fur the nits-ht in a mall country village. t marchine-

time next morning, a j-ergeant was do- ! tai'ed 10 stay behind and see. fur the ! benefit of the villagers, that everything-j

remained O. K. The Kergeant finally saw an American trooper come out of a door and hurry to join his tir.it. "Hey! .did you put out that fire in there?" th serfreant yelled. "Should say I did," the soldier reaponded as he ran. "I put some of that French wood on it." All of which was a satisfactory explanation for the Sergeant and. the company resumed the march.
