'wire systems of americans threadfrance Problem of Communication Met by Expert U. S. Army Telegraphers. , (By Associated Press) AMERICAN HEADQUARTERS IN FRANCE, Jan. 2 In an army the size of this, scattered throughout the length and breadth of France from the seacoast to the Swiss border, the problem of communication is second only if not of equal Importance to that of , supplies. When the American forces came to France It was one of the first efforts to which American Ingenuity and invention was directed and the Signal Corps, under which communications falls, met It as have the other organizations of the American Expeditionary Force. Existing French telegraph and telephone systems were overburdened. There was little left for us and I Brigadier General E. Russell, chief ! signal officer, and his staff of experts ; tackled the Job. What they have done in construction Is shown In some statistics fornisbed to The Associated Press. The Signal Corps has built approximately 1,750 ! miles of poles on which It has strung i 4.175 miles of wire. In addition about 2,000 miles of American wire has been strung on existing systems for our use and It has leased and operates more than 3,000 miles of French wire. Exchange lines to the extent of 12,750 "miles have been built and to operate these lines It has 244 telephone offices, .7,995 telephone stations and 102 tele graph offices. New Landscape Feature. All through France, from the base ports to the front lines occupied by the American forces, throughout our training areas, in fact nearly everywhere, the shining copper wires on lAmerlcan cross bar poles, so different from the European system, are a new feature of the landscape and frequently one heard newly arrived American soldiers exclaim "That's American." On main lines systems with many wires the French customarily use two poles side by side and the wires are strung on cross bars between, and others on slng'o insulators fastened direct to the pole. The long distance telegraph and telephone system constructed by the Signal Corps Is entirely maintained by its own personnel and in addition some 3,000 miles of leased wires are maintained by it. . All this construction has been made by Signal Corps battalions with implements and material from the United States wlh the single exception of poles, most of which were obtained in France. In construction, maintenance and operation the standard practices of the United States have been followfd and the American Expeditionary force has been given service equal to the best obtainable in the commercial world and admittedly unrivalled in any army. Its men have followed troop3 wherever troops went, dow-. front line trenches, over shell sw-pt and machine gun raked areas to lay and keep their wires so that communications might bo maintained. The Signal Corps has a long list of brave dead snd brave wounded, more honored, perhaps, because they could not fight back. 19.OCO.000 Local Call3. The telephone service of the Corps wrs opened on June 24, 1917. and since thn there have been handled nearly nineteen million local calls and more thnn one million long distance calls. Since the Signal Corps telegraph fys-tem brgan to function on August 19, of last year, more than five and one half million messages have been handled, aggregating more than onethird of a billion words. Manning these wires are many former members of the Traffic Department of The Associated Press, graduates of the key and the fastest wires in the world.

Urge Ministers to Preach the Gospel of Thrift WASHINGTON, Jan. 2.

THE GOD IN THE MACHINE It was Saturday, and hpt, and July. Ruth was in the stuffy workroom of! "Madame Lucie," who had a rush order for costumes for the coming Cinque Arts Ball. Every few moments she stopped to wipe the pers-J piration from her face, stifling a sigh ' of utter weariness. Every one In the world seemed to be enjoying the half holiday but herself and a few poor; tired girls in the room there. i "Gee, what a day to be down to the j beach, hey, Min?" one of the sleeve hands was saying to a skirt finisher, i "My friend was gonner take me but I need the two-fifty toward shoes and I hafter put in the whole afternoon workln. Ain't it fierce?" A faint smile touched Ruth Allison's lips. She felt sympathetic toward the girl. Ruth was working for much the same reason. She needed things for herself and her stepmother, who had been so many years her responsibility. Besides, 6he wanted to learn the intricate art of costuming as only "Madame Lucie," whose real name was Norah Graney, knew it. A little responsive thrill ran through Ruth as the shop girl spoke of her "friend." Ruth, too, had a "friend," a very new one, indeed, but one of whom she never thought without a sudden yearning tenderness, a throb of feeling that 6hook her small body to its very soul. Ned Flowerton, meanwhile, was moodily puttering about in the garage out in Arcadia, trying to decide where he should go in his sleek little racing car. He wanted to be alone. He'd felt that way a good deal lately. He knew a certain unfrequented mountain road He'd try that; it was dangerous in spots, and he felt In a restless state that clamored for strenuous action. Then, as suddenly as he had thought of that, he decided on something just the opposite. . He didn't want to be alone. He craved company. Before his mind's eye quietly rose th picture of Ruth Allison as he had seen her the first time, her slim fingers running over the piano keys in the dusk at his sister's house. And later, as he and Ruth were just entering that thrilling adventure of "getting acquainted." How merry she had been, ,5X MThf m SOUP RECIPES Vegetables Soup Three mediumsized potatoes, three cups water, two slices onion, sprig of parsley, one carrot, one turnip, stalk of celery, one and one-half cups milk, two tablespoons fat, four tablespoons flour, salt and pepper.- Wash and pare potatoes. turniDs and carrots, cut Into small cubes.

yet how; full of quick changes from gay to grave! How light had been her manner, yet how she understood things! There seemed .nothing no trouble, no ambition, no weakness, that Ruth didn't understand and ; respond to. Yes, it was Ruth, he wanted., Hers was the only companionship he felt would meet his mood any mood all moods. He ran into the house and asked his sister, Edith Ferrol, where Miss Allison was. "She's working this week in town, Ned," answered Edith, "at Madame Lucie'6, on Fifth avenue." Ned tramped out again to the garage,hopped into the machine and made a bee line for town. In forty-five minutes his car was before Madame1 Lucie's costuming establishment and Ned was making the steps two at a time. . "But I I couldn't possibly go," Ruth Allison was saying a moment later, her thin little face all ablush, her heart skipping. "We don't close till six and I wouldn't leave Miss Graney I mean Mme. Lucie in a hole for anything." Ned looked a pleasing picture in his motoring clothes, his thick hair swept straight back from a flushed, healthy, boyish face, his cap with its goggles, in one muscular hand and a smile oh, Ned's smile! And it was trained full upon Madame Lucie, who was not Irish born for nothing. She melted. She succumbed. "You just get alonn out of this, dearie," it was Norah Graney, not "Madame Lucie," speaking this time, and she took the sewing from Ruth's very lap.. "G'wan, now; I ain't the slave driver some think me. I was your age once. Have yer good time. If Mrs. Goldraker's dress isn't done I'll put the finishing touches on to it myself." " Ruth, in a daze of happiness, flung on her hat. while Ned swiftly completed his conquest of Miss Graney with the manner that was his alone when he chose to exert it. Then they were off neaaea towara me cooi, green country. No other day in Ruth's life ever seemed quite so wondrous, quite so Derfectlv. joyously complete. It was a day and evening tp be marked with a white stone! (To be continued.)

Russian affairs are causing the British foreign office considerable anxiety says the Mall. The necessity for formulating a definite policy as to Russia Is extremely urgent, and it has been decided that the Russian question will be the first to be discussed at the peace conference, it is said. "It is presumed that all the allied nations are ' everlastingly against armed intervention by an expeditionary force," says the newspaper. "The British government has also decided that an expedition is impossible, preferring to encourage the creation of a stable government in Russia, although the origin of such a government is at present quite obscure. In the meantime, munitions and instructors are being sent to the true Russian armies ia the south, in Siberia and the forces on the borders of Poland and Finland. Large cargoes of food were recently sent to northern Russia for the people living in districts under allied control. There is no likelihood, of the allied forces on the Russian coast being wiihdrawn.

r Every , time we go anywhere I fed exceedingly embarrassed because my friend never has his shoes shined and very seldom goes to a barber to have his hair cut. and bis clothes are rarely ever pressed, while my chum's friend no avail. He is a fine fellow otherwise, but please tell me how I can tell him in a nice way. UNHAPPY. If the boy won't take a gentle hint I am afraid you will have to be less gentle. It might be doing him quite a favor to instill a feeling of respect in him because it will make a lot of difference in the boy's success later in life to have the need of keeping his shoes shined, clothes pressed and bis hair cut thoroughly instilled. Perhaps a good straight word of advice from you would be his redemption. Dear Mrs. Thompson: I have a sallow complexion and no color in my cheeks. Can you tell me something that will bring color to my cheeks and clear my skin? V.I.R.M.C.M. Do not eat rich foods or candy. Sleep with your windows open and get plenty of exercise. If you will walk two or three miles every day. color will come to your cheeks, unless of course you are an extreme brunette. NO BUSINESS TRANSACTED.

Is This Your Bill? "The Sins of the Flesh" are punished in this world not in the next. Disease is not an accident, nor is it sent by Providence. It is Nature's punishment for the breaking of her laws, Hemorrhoids, for exarnple, occasion an infinite degree of discomfort, suffering and misery. So does a fissure or a fistula. But such punishments are meted out to those who sin against Nature in two ways, by neglecting to maintain regular, easy, thorough evacuation of the bowels who form the bad habit of constipation, or, what is a worse habit, the taking of pills, castor oil, purgative mineral waters, salts, etc, with the mistaken idea of overcoming constipation by forcing the bowels to move unnaturally. But the Nujol Treatment for Constipation prevents such sfins of the flesh, or mitigates the punishment therefor. Nujol helps to re-establish easy, regular, thorough evacuation of the bowels. Nujol is not a drug, does not act like any drug. Nujol is absolutely harmless. Nujol keeps the waste matter soft, moist and easily voided. Nujol is not absorbed, does not affect the body acts as a mechanical lubricant, which can be used for any length of time. Get Nujol from your druggist. Take Nujol according to directions.
