German Dead Are Burned.
Germany's losses in last two of
fensives in the region of Soissons
have been so tremendous that the
army has been unable to bury the
dead.
A neutral newspaper man. visit
ed Soissons just before the start
of the July offensive as a guest
of the German General Staff.
What he was allowed to witness,
he said, was more than anything
he had seen in the war, though
he has visited all the fronts in
Europe.
Whole regiments of Hun sol
diers had been wiped out and lay
unburied, he said. Masses of
corpses had been bundled to
gether pellmell, tied with wire,
and covered with lime, ready to
be burned.
"One German officer said to
me:
"How could we bury them?
We should need to immobilize
thousands of men to do it, and
we cannot spare them," said the
correspondent
The wounded were almost as
numerous as the dead. They
taxed the capacity of the base
hospitals, so that wounded men
lay on the ground awaiting their
turn to be treated.
The German officers, he said,
had changed their minds about
the value of the Hindenburg
"break - through - at - all - coBts"
strategy. The sight of so many
dead Germans may have had
"something to do with their change
of attitude.
Sugar Hoarder Disciplined.
Miss Laura Rhodes, of near
McVeytown, has been officially
reprimanded by S. A. Hamilton,
Federal Food Administrator for
Huntingdon County, for violation
of the Food Control Act of Au
gust 10, 1917. She has also been
warned that her conviction of
any other violation of this act
may result in severe penalty.
Miss Rhodes is a resident of a
township near McVeytown, Pa.,
and recently applied to a number
of Mt Union grocers for house
hold sugar, failing to state that
she bad purchased sugar from
other merchants on the same day,
which puts her in the class term
ed by the Food Administration
as "hoarders."
All householders will do well to
take warning, as the records of
the dealers will certainly expose
all such cases which,' if not de
creased, will result in some
severe penalty being inflicted up
po the violator,
Notice To Retail Merchants.
. We are receiving many in
quiries for the August allotment
of sugar purchasing certificates,
but have been advised by the
State Food Administrator, that
no authority for the issuing of
the August allotment would be
granted till the Post Card survey
of the sugar in the hands of the
dealers has been completed. Just
as soon as the State Food Admin
istrator grants us permission to
do so we will issue the August
allotment to all merchants in the
county.
Merchants are warned to use
more care in filling out the sugar
purchasing certificates signed by
persons buying sugar for canning
purposes. Many of these certif
icates are coming in not properly
filled out, and others show that
sales have been made for canning
purposes while the purchaser
had sugar on hands for that pur
pose. All such certificates are
thrown out and no sugar pur
chasing certificate will be grant
ed for them. For example if
you sell a customer 25 lbs.
of sugar and he already had 10
lbs. on hand you have violated
the regulations, and the 25 lbs.
you sold will not be replaced. No
person in the country has a right
to have more than 25 lbs. of sugar
on hands for canning purposes
and dealers violating this rule are
running the risk of having their
whole allotment cut off.
Keei a strict record of all
sugar sales.

County Food Administrator.

Seeing one's real, life, Amen
can base bull games is thrilling,
of course, but walking six miles
to an American camp with high
heeled shoes on is an argument
for low heels. So French girls
may trive up their three inch
hLib French beels
It's a I because tne War Work
Council of the Y. W. C. A. has
sent over recreational experts to
introduce biking and out of door
sports of all kinds among French
munitions workers. Such work
was unknown in France and that
is why the French women's
committee asked the American
Y. W. C. A to go over to start it.
Now French girls are learning
to play basket ball, to go on ten
mile nines, to relax and play a
bit after their working hours
that they, may better stand the
strain of war and of working
from 7 in the morning until 7 at
night.
In the big industrial centers
where the Y. W. C. A. has opened
"Foyers des Allies" home places
where workers may go to rest,
to write, to listen to music, and
to eat, recreational fields are
also being opened. At Tours
wher'e there are several foyers
for women workers, a part of an
island in the Loire bas been se
cured as a recreation place. The
island is right in the center of
this flowing river and at a wide
part of it. The approach is
across a bridge. and there are
gardens, a tennis court, a large,
grassy place for games and folk
dancing, and places for picnic
suppers on the river banks.
There is space too for several
cots and all secluded though
within easy walking distances
from the center of the city.
At Etienne, another large cen
ter, the "Pare de Recreation
Feminiu" is being put in shape
that the women workers there
may have a bit of normal, healthy
out of door fun. The Pare is
being fitted up with garden fur
oiture, a cloak room and place
for games is being built, two
fields lor bowling are being
made, swings and sand-boxes
for children are being fixed, a
basket ball field made and a
space fixed for open games. On
the side of a hill a natural amphi
theatre is being perfected for the
opening pageant. The Pare is a
part of the Jardin des Plantes
which has been fenced off for
this purpose by the Maine and
to which a special guard has
been detailed. It is in the cen
ter of the city, about twelve
minutes walk from the restau
rant run by theY. W. O. A.
Gymnastic classes will be held
thereon summer evenings in
stead ot at the Cercle.
A foyer bas been opened in the
Annex Oarnot at the Ecole Pro
technique in Bourges. A Garden
back of this building will be used
and-tne lower floor of a dormitory'
In an adjoining garden is being
fitted up for class - work, read
ing, wrltinfj English and such
things. For out of door work
the gardens will be used and for
indoor work a large barn which
is being fitted for gymnasium
work, games and concerts. The
foyer will open to all girls
in the city as a place where they
can go for recreation and rest,
to meet one onothor and to fit
themselves mentally and physi
cally for "carrying on."
A Game with Buttons.
Some rainy day, when there
seems to -be nothing else to do,
you can make a tiddleywinks
gamo with the buttons from the
button bag. Any number of
young people can play the game.
First sort the buttons; then
pick out one large white button
and six small ones and one large
black Lutton and six small onea.
On the floor, or in the middle
of a large table with a tablecloth
oa it, place a round box cover
about as large as a napkia ring,
or, if you have no box cover, it is
just as well to use the napkin
ring itself.
The game is to see who will be
the first to make all of the small
buttons hop into the ring or the
box cover, whicn is called
"Home." . All you need to do to
make the small buttons jump to
ward the ''Iljme" is to press the
rim of them with the rim of -one
of the big buttons, and let the
rim of the big button slip off
