American Women Make AixlesBains a Real Home for U.S. Boys on Vacation From Trenches

Beautiful Watering-place Among French Alps Provides 2,000 Tired Soldiers Every Day With Comfortable Quarters, Tasty Food, Sight-seeing Tours, Movies, Maga. zines, Dancing and, Best of All, the Opportunity to Meet and Talk With "Real American Girls." THERE are nearly 2,000 doughboys in Aix-les-Bains every day now. They are there on vacation. French and English soldiers go home when the time for leave comes. They see their wives, sweethearts and mothers, sleep comfortably in the old familiar bed and eat home-cooking. They come back to their places in the Army refreshed and renewed. But the American boy cannot go home. Either he must go without a vacation which would mean unhappincss and reduced efficiency or a home must be created for him In France. The Y. M. C. A. has' undertaken the task of making that home for him. American Y. M. C. A. women have the largest part of the share in the success attained. "When the doughboy arrives at Aix the beautiful and comfortable watering-place among the French Alps everything is ready for him. The Army has furnished him with transportation and arranged to pay his hotel bill. The Y. M. C. A. finds him a room and arranges for his board. He is assigned to a comfortable room in a good hotel, where he can have French cooking, as a change from American fare, freedom from military discipline; be for eight days his own master, and so get a real rest. Settled in his room, the boy heads for the casino, the center of interesc in the town. This magnificent structure set down amid handsome gardens, was at once the playground and the gambling haven of the aristocracy of Europe. Aristocracy Lends Color A few of the aristocracy still come to Aix to mingle with the doughboya and lend color to the scene. The casino has been taken over by the Y. M. C. A. and is operated as a club free to all enlisted men. It is here that the American women preside. These boys may not have seen an American woman for six or eight months, and these women are to them mothers and sisters for the time being there to make their vacation a real home coming. Mrs Helen Bagley Anderson, of i0inrrAt springs and Detroit,

J

carries the spirit of the place. A doughboy doesn't stay long in Aix before "Mother" Anderson finds him. She gets his name, learns where he is from and welcomes him in Just the manner to put him completely at home. "Sergeant," she calls to a "young" veteran who wanders in late. "Why Is it I never see you till 5 o'clock in the afternoon? We have picnics, excursions and hikes. You can go up Mount Revard by train and 'see Mount Blanc. You can go for a boat ride on the lake; there is the bathing beach we have fixed up for you, and you know the tennis courts and the athletic fields are open. There are lots of nice American girls here to talk to, there are books, magazines, easy chairs and

billiards. Why don't you ever come before five?" "Well, lady," I wakes up maybe about eight and then rolls over and sleeps some more. And when I've finished a'sleeping in that nice soft bed, I just lies there and thinks how lucky I am." But the "younger" boys, who represent the mass, gather early for the doings and stay late. They are eager to talk to the two score American Y. M. C. A. women there to help make their stay pleasant These women, old and young, work under Mrs. Anderson's direction. Mrs. T. R., Jr., Starts Work Mrs. Theodore Roosevelt, Jr., organized the work of the Y- M. C. A. women at Aix, and Mrs. Anderson

succeeded her, when Mrs. Roose velt was called to do larger work in the women's end of the Y. M. C. A. organization in Paris headquarters. The older women chat with tha boys, draw them out about home and mother, sew on their buttons, serve them food and drink an cheer them. The younger women, besides working in the canteen, go with the boys on excursions and picnic parties, give them tea parties on the lawn in the afternoon and dance with them and share their entertainments in the evening. Ask any doughboy leaving Aix what he thought of his stay there. "Wonderful place, bully time, real vacation and how good it was to see and get to really talk to American women,"

(By Associated Press) STOCKHOLM, Monday, Oct. 14. Much uneasiness prevails in the Scandinavian countries as to the probable effect of the evacuation of Russian

territory occupied by the Austro-Hun-garians, Germans and Turks and especially of the possible evacuation of Finland and the Baltic provinces, where neutrals fear a resumption of the Red Terror and a renewal of the struggle between the White and Red Russians, which will further threaten Scandinavian interests and upset the shipping situation in the Baltic. The dread of Bolshevism in Scandinavia has been intensified by the recent action of the Bolshevik commune at Petrograd, which ordered that neutral flags and seals be taken from all neutral properties except legations and consulates and declared that neutral officials might not protect the property of their countrymen, much less that of other citizens of other countries. For months neutral citizens have been leaving Russia and now that the rights of neutral officials

have been so abrogated, it seems unlikely that they can remain in Russia much longer. The Finnish government is constantly troops and expresses confi dence of the ability to withstand the Bolshevik movement. The Bolshevik! are reported to have sent millions of rubles into Scandinavian countries to purchase publicity and have created in many centres the impression that Russian Bolshevism is a general labor movement, instead of a political movement. This misconception of the Russian situation by the Scandinavian masses is rapidly being corrected, especially in Sweden, where the opportunity is best for knowing the havoc wrought by the Reds in Finland. The Scandinavian newspapers are eagerly awaiting an announcement whether President Wilson's conditions for a peace include the evacuation by the Germans of Finland and the Baltic provinces and whether any provision will be made by the entente to preserve order there should the Germans be required to leave.

(By Associated Press) CHRISTIANIA, Oct. 15 "Is is my sad conviction that the war will not end quickly and that Germany is so deeply sunk in perils of all kinds that she does not venture to put her cards on the table!" These are the words of a newspaper correspondent, Gustaf Sjoesten, who has just returned to Gothenberg, after spending fiften years in Germany. His experiences are being published under the title of "Uncensored Descriptions." "What misery," he exclaims, "have I not beheld in Germany during the last year of the war old men and sick persons dying of slow starvation because the meat they received was unfit for human food; half famished young boys dragged away from their homes to fight against strong, wellfed men; soldiers' wives looking like live skeletons, for they never have the means to buy the rationed foodstuffs which can be spared them by the men." For four years, he writes, the censorship in Germany has grown sharper and more intolerable "as the war developed unhappier conditions." "The expression of truth," he continues, "has been more and more harshly restricted in Germany." "An European Scandal," is his characterization of so-called emancipation of the eastern provinces and the Ukraine. "I have witnessed," he relates, "most of these emancipations and I know what I am saying when I mako use of so strong an expression. The economic exhaustion of these lands may be defended by the hard necessities of war and the sufferings of tha

German people but there is no defense for the official German encroachments on the rights of these people to their independence." Commenting on Sjoesten's articles, the Christiania Aftenposten says that his "practical revelations of the violent suppression of truth are naturally in the utmost contrast with the fantastic pictures of the German press, which waas recently controlled by admiral Von Hintze, the minister of foreign affairs. The correspondent says the censor of foreign correspondence was moderately reasonable until the autumn of 1915. But from that time on it became sharper and sharper. AH letters and telegrams couched in a friendly tone, the correspondent - says, were summarily cast into the waste paper basket and when one asked the authorities why that, was all the satisfaction obtainable was the set phrase, "It was not granted."

Peace Move Causes No Let-up in Speed of U. S. Fighters in France

(By Associated Press.) NEW YORK, Oct. 15 If German sol diers ever get -the idea that the war is over, they will keep on running until they reach Berlin, with American, French and British troops right after them, Edward N. Hurley, chairman or the shipping board, said today at a luncheon given by the Fifth Avenue association to diplomats and representatives of tfie government The party stopped here on its way from Washington to Newark, N. J., to witness the launching of two merchant steamers, the Allies and Consort, named by Mrs. Woodrow Wilson in honor of the entente allies. "You have not noticed any let-down on the part of our army in France," Mr. Hurley said. "They are quite willing to let the president of the United States handle the diplomatic and executive end of this war. They are taking advantage of the peace move in Germany by running the enemy off his feet And that is what we must do here. The effect of an oversubscription to the fourth Liberty loan on the

Continued From Page One.l The greater part of the resistance east of the Meuse was from machine guns,, but in spite of them and the reinforced German lines, the Americans straightened their line between the Sivrey and the Magenta farm. Silence Machine Guns. To the west of Romagne the Germans had fortified one tit of sunken road with machine guns in such a manner that it was regarded necessary to blast it away with big guns. The Germans had tunneled openings for machine guns through the banks on the sides of the road and every little tunnel was lined with cement All attempts to take this position were fruitless unless the machine guns were silenced by direct hits. Between Romagne and Landres-et-St. George is a small hill covered with woods and the fighting was extremely fierce along its 6lopes, to which were joined the barbed wire defenses that stretched from Landres-et-St. George to St George, a mile and a half farther west These positions were deluged with American shells, but were stubbornly defended by the Germans who rolled along their from clouds of gas and curtains of high l explosive and shrapnel shells. Along the line from St. Juvin to St. Georges, more rapid progress was made but in general the operations were confined almost entirely to the main defenses along the center of the line. During the battle the Germans directed a harrassing fire on numerous points back of the American lines. Units of the second American army which began operations Oct. 12 under command of Major General Robert L. Bullard, today repulsed a German raid on their positions.

In some such terms must President Wilson's reply be stated for military purposes as there can be no waiving otherwise, it was said, of the only alternative road to absolute Tlctory through the smashing of the German army. That is the battle road over which the allied armies are now marching in full force. ACCEPTED WITH RESERVE MELBOURNE, Oct. 14. News that Germany had accepted President Wlftjy son's peace terms caused intense ex-7 citement here on Sunday night, but' today the general sentiment of the people is opposed to a cessation of hostilities until Germany is placed in a position in which 6he will be unable to resume effective fighting. G. F. Pearce, minister of defense, welcomed the news as an encouraging sign but accepted it with reserve. General Pau, leader of the French mission visiting Australia, said that the allies must not fall into a trap and that the only real solution of the situation was to drive the Germans to the eastern side of the Rhine. Leading newspapers emphasized the fact that peace is not imminent and point out the continuance of gross violations of the rules of war on land and sea does not entitle Germany to any consideration.
