SAMMIES BASK IN
WARM SUNSHINE
ION FRENCH FRONT
kWarm Spring Weather Puts
New Life Into Activities of
American Troops on
Battle Line.
pr A Mori ted Fraat.)
; With the American Army in France,
.Tuesday, March 12. After weeks of
rain, snow, wind and murky weather
there came to the American front to
day its first bath of genial spring
sunshine.
The skies were cloudless and in the
moderate temperature that prevailed,
sweaters were discarded by the men
for the first time since last summer,
while in the villages where they are
bittited and in the cantonments in the
training area the camps were deco
rated with rolls of bedding being
giving an airing.
Men and horses basked in the sun
shine in the streets and on the hill
sidesa grateful experience after the
winter damp chill.
Everywhere one could see equip
ment hung out to dry, tent flaps and
hut windows open and hospital pa
tients breathing the sweet spring air.
Meanwhile, the transport work was
being expedited by the rapidly drying
roads.
In the training areas the fullest
advantage was taken of the open
weather, the officers crowding the
men to willingly renewed efforts to
make them fit for front line service.
Aeroplanes in Evidence.
Under the suffshine and the still at
mosphere airdomes all along the line
sprouted flocks of planes, both on trial
and on serious missions, and every
where there was expectant readiness
for an enemy offensive if it should de
velop. The troops, both on the front and
in the training areas are on the tip
toe of expectation for the arrival of
Secretary of War Baker, the presence
of whom in France was announced in
the 'Paris morning newspapers and
took the whole army by surprise.'
Word of the secretary's presence
in France was spread raidly by tele
phone from the bases to the further
most outposts. Officers in villages at
outlying points stopped the newspa
per motors and asked for definite
word when Mr. Baker would arrive.
"The old man will find us ready to
pass inspection," it was said.
. In army circles there is a general
gratification overxthe coming of Mr.
Baker in order that he may see at
close hand what has been accom
plished thus far in the face of the
obstacles ad the difficulties of dis
tance and especially the moral and
physical condition of the troops, so
that he may carry home a personal
knowledge of easily remedied de
ficiencies and complaints.
, Defective Mail Service.
"The most serious of the deficiencies
and complaints surround the army
mail service. Everywhere the rank
and file complain of the absence or
great delay in mail from home. Com
pany officers generally say the mail
problem is one of the most serious
they have to contend with, because
the men become lonely and anxious
in, the absence of word from their
families. ,
Tjhe ordinary mails are from one
month to six weeks ahead of the army
mails,, and the officers express the
belief that there wilk be no better
factor for the happiness of the men
than, the most expeditious mail serv
ice it is possiblr to devise-Sren a
faster service than through the or
dinary civilian channels. '

GERMAN 'FORCE'
PEACE WILLJOT
BIND RUSSIANS
Washington, March 16. The deci
sion of the all-Russian congress of
Soviets at Moscow to ratify the Ger
man peace terms was reached after
receipt of President Wilsons mes
sage to the Russian people, assuring
them that .America would take the
first opportunity to help them regain
their complete sovereignty and inde
pendence, f
A message received at the State de
partment today from American Con
sul Summers at Moscow said the
president's message was delivered
two days before the Soviets met.
Official expression indicated that
America and the allies expect the
action of the congress to have littl
direct bearing on the genera! Russian
situation.
It apparently was believed that
chaotic conditions will continue in
Russia for a long time, evn though
the Germans make every effort to re
establish order and reorganize the
country's industrialand agricultural
life.
Officials here were deeply interest
ed in a dispatch from Moscow which
said that tne Kussian iacnons De
clared that the peace will be tempo
rary only and that Russia will- gather
herself together with a new socialistic
army to resist the Germans.
The fact that only slightly more
than half of the delegates expected to
attend the congress were reported as
voting' also caused comment.

vomiting, headache, emaciation, loss
of sleep and digestion imperfect.
EXTERNAL MENINGITIS is an
inflammation, or excessive tieat, af
fecting the external or outer Iajer"bf
the meninges of the spiilal cord.
Symptoms are spinal painj which rad
iate alony the course of the spinal
nerves over the trunk and legs,
spasms of yvarious groups cf muscles
are present and in, the more severe
cases there is a partial paralysis, the
muscles become stiff, legs begin to
atrophy and also a high fever with
each case.
ACUTE SPINAL LEPTO-MEN
INGITIS is an acute inflammation or
excessive heat of the thin membrane
of the spinal cord, affecting the pia
and thejirachnoid membranes. Symp
toms are radiating pains in the back
and extremities, also tenderness along
the nerve trunks and stiffness of the
spinal and uher muscles, chills and
the rigidity of the spinal muscles also
produce "Cervical rttraction, and th" .
the muscles finally become atrophied

stiff; convulsions, paralysis in all the
muscles of the body. Since all cases
of Meningitis center around ihtA

Germans Will Find Little Wheat
In Odessa, Says Grain Expert
By Associated Press.)
Chicago, March 16. J. Ralph
Pickell, a grain expert, who has just
returned from Russia, said today that
the Germans will find no wheat in
Odessa. What lif tie grain there was
in Odessa, he said. ( was consumed' by
the inhabitants, refugees and disband
ing soldiers.
He declares that Nikolaiev and not
Odessa is Russia's great wheat stor
ing center and that a large arrny of
Cossacks stand between the invading
Germans and the vast storehouses in
the central and northern provinces of
Russia.
Pickell says there are 5,QOO,000
bushels of wheat stored at Nikolaiev.
"The port of Nikolaiev is 200 miles
northeast of Odessa, on the mouth of
the river Bug and gets its wheat from
the immensely rich territory of Kazan
and Simbirsk, several hundred mm?5
further north," said Mr. PicEell. "The
wheat supply in Nikolaiev is fast
dwindling, because of the shortage in
other parts of the country and the
probability is will either be gone or
moved further north before the Ger
mans can get there."
"Trained nurses are needed just as
badly at home as in France said
Miss. Charlotte Townsend. She als
urge that a thorough training be
taken by . nurses in place of short
courses.
