labor representative. Just before the
opening- of the inter-allied labor con
ference in London, two of the world's
most prominent labor leaders brought
the men and women of France and the
United States they represent closer to
gether. '
President Wilson walked the entire
line of march in New Tork City's Lib
erty day parade. A traffic policeman
offered his horse to the executive, but
the President smilingly declared: 'Til
walk. If I rode someone might think
I was trying to put on lugs."
Mrs. Mary Hatch Williard, president -of
the surgical dressing committee of
New Tork, has been awarded the gold
medal by the French government for
her work in fighting epidemics. She
is credited with arousing the women of
America to the necessity for surgical
dressing supplies.
Nurses have been mobilized as rapidly
for service overseas as have soldiers
for Pershing's forces. Their work at
the front has won the hearty praise
of the American commanding General.
Upon disembarking overseas they
march in columns, led by their colors,
to their new stations.
Palestine virtually was cleared of the
enemy when the victorious army of
General Allenby entered the city of
Damascus. Straight street, covered by
a long-arched roof, is the widest thor
oughfare in the city, and the only
roofed one in the world. British sol
diers now are marching up and down
this street.
The small tank has demonstrated
its worth during the recent alliedad
vances. The "babies" have helped
smash the Hindenburg line and now
are considered almost indispensable to
an infantry advance. American tank
crews are operating them.
Hundreds of Serbian orphan children
have been sent to England. They ar
rive in London, where they are wel
comed at Waterloo station by Sir
Charles Wakefield and the wife of the
Serbian Minister and then are sent to
homes in the country districts of England.
