Instructions Concerning Christmas Packages For Men in U. S. Service

Official Instructions regarding the Christmas packages for. soldiers and sailors were received by Postmaster Beck Wednesday morning. The complete text la as follows:' , - The War Department Is desirous that each man serving In the American Expeditionary Forces in Europe shall receive a remembrance from home at Christmas time, and advises that because of transportation , and distribution difficulties but one package of standard size and weight be sent to each one. To this end arrangements have been made with, the War Department whereby Christmas parcels may be mailed to members of the American Expeditionary Forces under the following conditions:. 1. Each soldier or other member of the American Expeditionary Forces In Europe will be allowed to receive one Christmas parcel, for which purpose he will be furnished, through army channels, a "Christmas Parcel Label" bearing the correct name and address of the soldier or member and also of the person designated to send the parcel. The labels will be prepared to serve as address labels for the parcels. The label, which will be furnished to the soldiers, will be sent by them to the members of their family at home who are to mail the Christmas parcel. No Christmas parcel for members of the Expeditionary Forces In Europe will be accepted for transportation without such label. 2. All Christmas parcels must be of standard size, 3 inches by 4 inches by 9 Inches, and shall not exceed 3 pounds In weight; for which purpose cartons of the size prescribed will be distributed through the local Red Cross chapters throughout the country- No person will be furnished a carton except upon presentation of the "Christmas Parcel Label" received from abroad. 3.

' When the parcels have thus been packed and wrapped, and otherwise prepared for transmission, the Red Cross will affix to each parcel a certificate in the form of a seal, showing that , the package has ..been inspected and approved. Such seals will bo accepted by the postal service and army authorities as evidence that the parcels conform to the conditions prescribed, and therefore will not have to be re-examined by the censors. The parcels must be left at the Red Cross receiving stations, which will deposite them in the malls for dispatch. 5. Christmas parcels must bear the

Heart Mome SX 1 MRJ ELIZABETH THOMPSON

Dear Mrs. Thompson: I am engaged to a girl who has asked to keep It secret until I can marry her, because her parents are unreasonable about her ' considering marriage, as they want her to themselves. I have given her a ring which she wears when we are alone together, but at other times she conceals it. Sho is a very pretty girl and has always had several admirers. It is the same now, and sometimes I think I can't stand to see her so friendly with other fellows. She corresponds with a soldier whom she used to know and write to before we were engaged. It is impossible for me to be In active service on account of my heart and I am jealous of all soldiers. Do you think she ought to correspond with the soldier when she knows how I object? ... BILL. No one can be engaged and not engaged at the same time and act consistently. As no one but yourself knows of the engagement It is Impossible for your fiance to act to others as though engaged to you. There is considerable excuse for her if she feels It necessary to continue the friend

ships she had previous to her engagement to you. Either insist upon announcing your engagement or be tolerant of her interest in other young men. There is no place for jealousy when you cannot offer an open promise to her. Dear Mrs. Thompson: In the store where 1 work there is a certain bachelor who is a joke with all the girls and because I have been.' kind to him he has taken a great fancy to me. Now the girls and men are teasing me about him and it is very plain that they have reason to, because of the funny way he has been acting lately.' He seems to be having his first case of puppy love. What can I do to make him see there can be nothing between us and at the same time not hurt his feelings? KITTY. When the girls tease you, let them tease, and if they see you are not annoyed they will have no fun and will soon stop. Be courteous to nim but do not encourage any advances on his part, such as permitting him to call or accepting candy , or any other gifts he might offer.

The hill was carried by 11:45 o'clock. At 1 o'clock in the afternoon the American advance from the southern side began. In consequence of this the enemy was forced at once to fall back from the center of the Argonne. The American troops which had been held there by the enemy passed La Viergette and joined hands with tho left of the division which had stormed Chatel Chehery where by 3:30 o'clock the Americans had consolidated their new positions. The most interesting event of the day was the liberation of a battalion which had been entirely isolated and surrounded by the enemy in the Argonne forest for five days. The plight of these troops had been known ami several attempts had been made by French and American troops to relieve them, but without success.

By Monday evening at 6:40 o'clock the American gains on the eastern edge of the forest had made possible an advance in the center. The troops here moved forward and broke the circle which the Germans had drawn around the battalion, restoring it after its splendid and dogged resistance, to 1th division which had begun to re

gard it as lost. SECOND U. S. DIVISION. WITH AMERICAN FORCES IN FRANCE, Oct. 9 -It is . now permissable to state that it was the second American division which bore the brunt of the recent hard fighting in the Champagne. This division took

St. Etienne and the positions leading

to that town and thus created the

slight salient now projecting into the German line. The second American division consists of the fifth and sixth regiments of marines, the ninth and twenty-third infantry and the fifteenth, sixteenth ad nineteenth regiments of artillery.

QUARANTINE MAY CONTINUE VEEK

Probably a week or ten daya will be required to find out the extent of the lnfluenia epidemic, and the theatres and schools and other public gatherings will probably not be opened for at least a week, according to state health officials In ',' statement last night Dr. J. M. Bulla, county health officer, stated that : physicians having cases of .influenza should report at once to him so that he may establish quarantine. --. The state officials made this rule and it should be closely observed by local physicians. Six cases of Influenza have been reported to city health officer Davis.

TRACES OF

Continued From Page One. to the ranks of the enemy. A German soldier found in a ruined village surrendered, trembling with fear. "What are you afraid of?" his captor inquired. "We are not going to harm you." , With the acid smell of blackened masonry in his nostrils, with smoke

rising from a village fired by his com-1

panions in plain sight and with puffs of blue smoke from German poisonous shells' marking the line of the Suippe a little farther back, the captive rejoined: "But what will the French soldiers

; do when they get into Germany?"

iis interrogator merely remarKeu that it was noticeable that the German soldier who has fired a French peasant's home after taking shelter in It for four, years has no word of sympathy, excepting for his own people to whom the war is coming nearer and hearer with every advance the allies are making. Girla Work In Vineyard. With the crumbling line along the Aisne qanal north of Rheims, and the line along the Vesle to the east, the Germans abandoned Nogent-la-Ab-besse, to the east of Rheims, and Brihave been the jailers of Rheims for four years. Nogent-la-Abbesse had been an observation point from which the Germans had watched the city and country over a wide area and dlreted artillery fire which wrecked villages that nestle among the .mountains of Rheims and took aim at the winegrowers cultivating vineyards on the slopes, and the peasant girls gathering the grapes that grew in spite of the neglect enforced by the war. Thirty of these peasant girls came back today for the fifth war harvest. In one of the localities that has been most intensely beaten by the German shrap. nel they were working today. "The picking is meagre," one said, "but if the wine is searce'it" is all the more precious, for this is the vintage of victory." It was from in front of this formidable position that the American boys of the Foreign Legion fired their first shots for France in the fall of 1914. The trenches where they were stationed during the first . winter campaign are still plainly visible in the chalky clay. ".'' Traces of the four years of fighting are found all over the ground east of Rheims, from Pompelle fort around the mountains. It was possible during a visit today to see what it had cost the Germans to hold the positions they were finally obliged to give up for nothing. Villages Intact. All the villages on the main road from Rheims eastward are more or

less intact, for the fighting there was i at too close quarters to enable either I side to use heavy guns. They all

showed traces of repeated struggles from street to street and from house to house. Every wall of every house or inclosure is pitted by machine gun bullets and by shrapnel. Long stretches of wires before the trenches are almost intact, running through streets or cutting between houses , to mark the lines where the Germans were still at close grips with the French two days ago. Streets and roads are lacerated by earthworks and are in some places upheaved by mines, and impassable. The work of destruction done by the enemy in his hurried flight was incomparably less than that of else

where, for It had long ago been al most complete.
