Eyes many years ago, when Queen Alexandra was still princess of Wales, she had accompanied the prince upon a ceremonial visit to one of the great Midland cities, where, after the main object of the day, the laying of a comer stone of a hospital, had been accomplished, there followed a round of visits to public institutions, with speeches and the presentation of bouquets, addresses and resolutions. As the royal carriage was returning, a blocking of .the road ahead delayed it in front of a school. The children had been given a recess, and were crowded on the curb to see the royalties. It had been coinposition day, and a very pretty little girl in a white dress still held her composition in her hand. Moved by curiosity and the presence of her comrades behind her, she stepped into the street and stood close by the royal carriage, smiling shyly up into the princess face. That gracious lady returned the smile and, seeing the paper clutched in the childs hand, .assumed that it was one more loyal address and stretched her hand out to take it. The surprised little author surrendered it silently and just then the procersion passed oil, A few moments later Frincess Alexandra, glancing down, was struck by something unusual in the aspect of the paper in her lap probably a certain scrawlincss and inkiness and opened it for a better look.

CORDIALITY Three different opinions are advanced in the peace conference as to the nature of damages for which Germany should pay indemnities. But no one either in the peace conference or in the world doubts the obligation of Germany to pay indemnities of some kind. IS LACKING. You say here that the distinguished visitor received a royal reception, remarked the city editor. Whats wrong with that? asked the youthful reporter. The whole town turned out to welcome him. Thats just the point Nowadays most royal receptions consist principally of jeers, hoots and hisses. final great accomplishments of the American army, General Pershing, in a communication to E. C. Carter, in charge of association operations with tha American Expeditionary ' Forces, pays a splendid tribute to the work which this agency accomplished under extreme difficulties and handicaps. Tha Y. M. C. A. served the army better than could have been expected, says General Pershing. At ita own request the American Y. M. C. A. has been relieved from maintaining post exchanges with the Expeditionary forces overseas, the need for such service having been relieved with the signing of the armistice. Correspondence exchanged between General Pershing end E. C. Carter, la charge of the Y. M. C. A. with the army, resulted in this decision. Carter wrote to General Pershing January 29th as follows: Dear General Pershing: A year and a half ago yon requested the Y. M. C. A. to undertake operations for post exchanges for the American Expeditionary Force In order that 'officers and enlisted men may not be taken away for that purpose from their paramount military functions of training and fighting. As soon as hostilities ceased we raised with you the questloa whether time had not come for the Y. M. C. A. to be relieved of the operation of post exchanges la view of the fact that there was na longer the same pressing demand on man power of the army for training and fighting. When we first raised the question with you It did not appear to you that It was feasible in the best interests of maximum service to the army that a change be made. Now the siti: ation is materially altered. Reoent general orders from main headquarters and requests front commanding officers have laid on the Y. M. C. A. increased responsibilities in promoting educational, athletic and entertainment activities in the American Expeditionary Force. This is placing a rapidly increasing burden upon our personnel. The army is also now preparing for the delivery of all supplies for post exchanges which heretofore have been imported, manufactured and delivered by the Y. M. C. A. In view of the changed situation I wish to know whether yen do not. think it would be possible for the army at a very early date to foil responsibility for the maintenance of post exchanges throughout the American Expeditionary Force? Very cordially yours, r.vrnurjrhajrn (Signed) E. C. CARTER. General Pershing Immediately- acted Jon the suggestion made by Carter and relieved the Y. M. C. A. of Its task of maintaining the post exchanges. He said: My Dear Mr. Carter: I have received your letter ef January 29th asking whether, In view of present changed situation, K would be possible for the army to assume full responsibility for maintenance of post exchanges throughout American Expeditionary Fores. As you oqnwctly state, the Y. M. C-- A. undertook the management ef post exchanges at my request at a time when it was of greatest importance that no available soldier should be taken away from vital military flotations of training and As reasons which imfighting. pelled me at that time to request you to undertake this work no longer exist, I am glad to approve yonr suggestion in reaching this conclusion. Consideration has Been given to new burdens In connection with entertainment, athletic activities and education that yon Headquarters for Reservation Travelers, and the have assumed. I have accordingly given directions that army Traveling Public in GeneraL nnlts themselves take over sad Steam Heat, Hot and Cold Water in Every Room. operate their own post exchanges.
