Paris.—One of the struggles in which the French soldiers became In volved when the Germans swept across the Alsne between Solssons and Reims was with chewing gum. I refer to Chicle Amerlcanus, the—to us—well- known vegetable product which may be found adhering to the underside of desks, to shoe soles, and to trouser seats throughout the United States. The self-same article that at once eolnces the weary shop girl and the tired business man who endeavors therewith to conceal the fume of the drinks that cheer. An American ambulance train was operating in the general region of the drive, and the army post exchanges established and operated for it by the I Y. M. C. A. were well supplied with j the things which are necessary to the comfort—physical and mental—of the j American soldier. The Red Triangle officials had established a storehouse to supply these exchanges, and a car load of supplies had been shipped to it Just before the Germans started their drive. The carload carried—besides chocolate, tobacco, ennned goods, cookies, etc.—a considerable quantity of chewing gum. When the drive started the Red Tri angle workers available started out with what they could carry to serve the men to whom they were attached. The storehouse was left deserted. As the French retired they foraged to keep supplies from falling into en emy hands, using what they could and destroying the rest. The Pollus who came upon the chewing gum—like most Frenchmen— were totally unfamiliar with It. They knew only that It looked like food, was wrapped like food, and was stored with other things they knew to be food. They ventured further and tried It, stuffing the entire contents of a package into their mouths at one time. It tasted like food, so after a brief period of mastication they es sayed to swnilow it. Too many of them sue cceefled. Whjle no serigus casualties trêsuiîëd tKePollùs were in- spired with a remarkable regard for American digestive apparatuses and considerable awe for American edibles.
