New York. Feb. 2. The White Star liner Celtic arrived here today from Brest, bringing 3,114 Ameri can officers and men from overseas. On board the Celtic was the entire personnel of the first gas regi ment, the only offensive gas troops employed by the American expedi tionary forces. The remainder of the passenger list was made up of casuals from all parts of the coun try. Maj. John B. Carlock of San Francisco, commander of the gas regiment, told a first-hand, gripping story of the organization's activi ties, from the time it went into ac tion with the British forces in Jan uary, 1918, until the war ended. The regiment, he said, fought successive ly on every American front, suffered casualties of half' its enlisted strength of 1,500 men and returned with 80 of its members wearing the croix de guerre, 20 wearing the dis tinguished service cross and with 12 of its officers recommended for distinguished service medals. , Fought Constantly 40 Days. The gas troops, Major Carlock said, did their bitterest fighting at Chateau-Thierry, St. Mihiel and In the Argonne forest, working con tinually for 40 days at the battle of the Argonne. "It -is not generally known away from the firing line," he said, "that gas regiments, leading, as they did, every offensive, were subjected to perhaps .greater danger than any other troops. This is borne oufby the fact that 50 per cent of our reg iment, both officers and men, are casualties. "Our sacrifices were well reward ed, however, for we learned from captured Germans and from other sources that our work was playing havoc with the enemy' in casualties and in, the destruction of morale. Had our two gas regiments and three battalions, which were train ing, been able to enter the conflict earlier, the end of the war, I be'lieve would have been hastened." Major Carlock described three methods of gas attack used by the American gas forces the cylinder method, the projector and the four inch mortar. "The cylinder weighed about 130 pounds." he Jaid, "and'earried from 60 to 70. pounds of liquid gas. We would turn loose from 500 to 5,000 of these on one front simultaneous ly. They were used exclusively for trench warfare. "In mobile warfare and in attack ing concentrations of enemy troops we employed the projectors, elec trically operated, which hurled 60 pound bombs containing 30 pounds of gas against the enemy. "The . four-inch Stokes mortars were used chiefly to break up ma chine gun nests. We had these timed so that they would burst over a machine gun nest and shower gas or theremite, which is molten metal, over the gun crew." , Maj. C. Brent, formerly Episco pay bishop of the Philippine Islands and chief Chaplain with the Ameri can expeditionary force, was among the officers arriving on the Celtic. The moral victory of the soldiers against temptation, he declared, was as complete as was their victory against the enemy. "I have seen them in war and in play," he said, "and nothing can be said in their favor that would be extravagant." West Leavenworth Street Is to Be Paved This Year Improvements in the West Leav enworth and Lockwood addition dis tricts this year include paving Leav enworth from Forty-eighth to Elm wood park and the paving of Fifty first avenue and Fifty-fifth streets from Howardjto Leavenworth. These last two streets are the east and west boundaries of the Lockwood addition. All the public improvements are now installed, including an orna mental lighting system. Elevation of the Missouri Pacific tracks over Leavenworth at Forty eighth street is expected to be start ed by April first This elevation will be similar to that done last year over Farnam, Douglas and Dodge. j Copyright, Wt. iTiternallon'l 1 1 V IRTUOUS . W I VES CHAPTER XIV. . After lunchedn. Miss Bane ush ered in the children, immamulate and rigid, as- though they moved, in a spotlesj -xistencg ; Rudolph, Junior, aged 6, and Doris, who, at the age of 8, was shooting up so rapidly that Irma never saw her without feeling that she was doing it on pur pose. Under the directing eye of Miss Bane, they made the rounds of the table, gravely performing precise courtesies and arrived finally before their mother, whom they contem plated in wondering admiration, as if she were some strange fairjr prin cess. Irm gathered them in impul sively, one under each arm, and em braced them rapturously. Mon Amour, from his high chair specially made, began to bark - in angry thin yapping. - "There, there; I won't kiss them any more," said Irma soothingly. "Did it make him jealous? No; he shan't be teased." "And how old are you, dear?" said Amy to Doris. "Eleven, going on 12," said that young lady innocently. "What!" exclaimed Mrs. Delia bane, in a shriek. "Who told you to say that? Tell me at once, Doris at once." "Mr. Laracy," said the child, look ing frightened. "Mr. Laracy is a very impertinent person," said Irma, looking daggers at that young joker, who had retired in convulsions of mirth behind his plate. But as the laugh was general, she yielded to it. "Jap, I'll never forgive you she's quite too enor mous as it is!" "Why mother?" said Doris, opeu- mg her eyes. , "Never mind, my dear," said the mother. "Now be good children and behave properly, and don't sit down in the grass," she added im pressively. The children nodded solemnly and went' out. The next moment, they heard them whooping joyfully as they ran out to the motor. 'At S o'clock the motors were brought out for a run into the city. Laracy, in the runabout, shot ahead with Mrs. Challoner, while Tody Dawson, at the wheel of the great touring car, directed the stowing of the .valises, and d copious supply of rugs against the return home. "What about Mr. Challoner?" said Amy, who found herself in the back seat with Kitty Lightbody. "Jack? My, you are an innocent little thing!" said Mrs. Lightbody, rolling her large china eyes. "Take husbands along! Say, child, we're out for a good time." She began to hum merrily to herself, wagging her head in time with her feet, which had already begun to dance. "Lordy me, I'm just expiring forgone real spree!" , "But there are not enough men to go around, it seems to me," said Amy, concealing her amusement. Mrs. Lightbody looked at her with a little suspicion. ' "Didn't Irma tell you? Charlie Pardee and Captain Barrisdale are going to join us." "I'm really quite a country mouse," said Amy maliciously, for she had certain scores to settle; "you must help me not to make any mistakes." .-"In what way?" "Tell me who belongs to -whom. I don't want to make ah enemy of Mrs .Challoner. Is it Pardee ,or Barrisdale?" Kitty laughed, looked quite flus tered, laughed again nervously, and finally made up her mind to ex plain. "Charlie Pardee js Gladys's prop erty," she said. ' ' "And Captain Barrisdale is Irma's?" "I guess not!" said Kitty. Light body vehemently.' "Oh, I see!" said Amy, laughing. "I was dense, wasn't I?" "When I say 'property' " said Mrs. Lightbody, hesitating between two fears, either to appear too rapid or not rapid enough. ' "Oh, I understandperfectly. All right; I won't trespess." "Of course, when I say 'prop erty,' " said Mrs. Lightbody, looking a little vorried, "that's just an ex pression."' "Now she's going to explain." thought Amy, and she waited with delight while her companion floun dered on. "Of course, my dear, it's all inno cent enough, at least on my part. What Gladys does, the Lord knows! You can't stop all flirtation just be cause you're married can you?" "Evidently not." "My dear, that would be too bore some." It would make us hate mar riage, wouldn't it?" said Mrs. Light body, who prided herself on a sense of logic. "Of course, you're just a bride, and that's different. But af ter you're married a .year or two, you can't be going around all alone where other women are, can you? Drawn for New. B.rrtr. '(Copyright, 1918, by Little. Brown Co.)" Ted that's, my husband and I un derstand each other perfectly. He wouldn't like it at all if no men paid me attention." "Oh, that's what Andrew says to me. "Really, dear? Now. that is sen sible. But you mustn't' understand. lheres nothing really wrong in flirting the way I do. I like a good time. Lord, we've got so little time to enjoy ourselves in this world," said Mrs. Lightbody, with a huge sigh. Hut, my dear. I m most care ful. And I make men understand that If they want to fall in love with me, jrll right! but they must respect me because I am A virtuous wife," suggested Amy sottiy. "Er yes. Yes; that's it," said Mrs. Lightbody, so taken back that tor several moments she stared blankly, ahead, without a word to say. "And' Mrs. Dellabarre?" said Amy pensively, with a significant look at Irma, who was bending over Tody uawson. is she a virtuous wife, too?" Mrs. Lightbody responded by raising ner eyebrows. "Irma oh, Irma's a mystery. Of course, I don t mean to insinuate anything but Irma's strange, very strange really, don t ask me! At the end of a moment, Amy burst out laughing. v "What are you laughing at, my dear?" said Kitty anxiously. "Thinking what a splendid chap eron I'm going to be. "My dear, I suppose you thought I was frightfully sniffy last night," said Mrs. Lightbody, who had a suspicion that her companion was laughing at her for some reason or other and ascribed it to a desire to even up the score. "I. was; but I didn't know who you were, did I? You have to be so careful with strangers." "Oh, naturally," said Any, who was too amused to cherish resent ment, for, by this time, she had come to perceive Kitty Light body's place as a foil to Irma and Gladys Challoner a heavy center piece, diverting arid useful for the purposes of contrast. . "But you mustn't mind me it's just my way," continued Mrs. Light body, whose bad manners were in stinctive. "Really, I admire you, my dear, and I'm sure I'm going to like you enormously." "Thank you." ' , "And I hope you'll like me," add ed Mrs. Lightbody, who gave her confidence generously. "Every one makes the goat of me, but I don't mind. I'm for a good time in this little burg a short life but a merry one I Don't think I haven't had my trials I have!" she continued, screaming in Amy's ear against the whip of the wind. "I would be in a sanatorium now, if I wanted to take things seriously. But what's the use and, then, your husband isn't worse than any one else's, is he? What's the use of quarreling? Let him go his way and you go yours. I'm going to enjoy myself, I am!" They were passing -out of the open country into the suburbs of New York, through the shanty civilization of mingled hordes, who watched the swift passage of the world from communal flats, with tired, memory-haunted eyes, hoping for the day when they, too, would move on. Incompleted factories; franie shelters to let; parceled lots shaggy with unkempt grass elbow to elbow with pretentious brick stores; garish trimmings; noise and confusion;, transitory thrift -tag-nant acceptance of life crowded about them in these multitudes who had camped the day before and would crowd dustily on with the morrow. They did not comprehend poverty or have the illuminating vision which sees beyond mediocrity the climbing generations. Poverty and mediocrity offended . their delicate nostrils like the odor of some dis figuring disease. On Amy it had a dapressing effect like the conjured terrors of a sermon. Poverty ex isted as a warning the harvest of evil. It brought her closer to An drew, to what she had dreamed of making of their marriage. While Kitty was rushing on torrentially, she was peering out at the soiled children, the old women set in the gaping windows, the bleakness and the shiftlessness that rolled on like a Gypsy caravan. . She made sudden resolutions. Her husband should never be to her like Kitty Lightbody's or Gladys Chal-I loner's. What she did, she would do openly, with his full knowledge. A little season of youthful extrava gance, to feel the fever of gaiety and to grow tired of it. Afterward in a few years to grow into woman hood and responsibility. It was right that she should have this hour her The Bee by Tad V S" ?SWl5a woman's hour. Andrew under stood this need in her But all at once, ahead, the great Williamsburg bridge, with its elec tric necklaces, leaped across the melting night. Beyond the dusky, rolling river, shot with glowworms, the blazing towers of New York flamed against the horizon; fiery balls of light, tossed above the the atric flash of glass palaces which reached upward to the conquest of the sky. "Don't you love it?" said Mrs. Lightbody ecstatically. -"Don't ypu just love it?" They glided skilfully among con centrating hordes, checked and held in new multitudes, multitudes that had the feeling of the mingled east. They were caught in the jam of the holiday hour, surrounded by wab bling peddlers' wagons, Hebrew, American and negro; trucks with brawny, half naked drivers; thronged trolleys, white with the last warmth of the summer; long, grim funeral processions jogging back to life; strident, creaking cars packed with family parties; medioc rity everywhere on wheels, happy, hot and noisy, eying , them with covetous admiration as -they , the privileged caste, passed, unrelated and irresponsible, through the churning, struggling crowd. They did not see the soiled pres ent at their sides or divine the chal lenge of the future. Ahead, across the floating span, was the magic of the night, a breathless, nervous city pursuing the phantom of pleasure with the same dynamic intensity with which, during thejigly day, it had scrambled for the wealth it would leave for future generations to enjoy. The tired masculine day was over, yielding to the glittering, feminine night, and in the hanging gardens of the air was the feeling of music and dancing. The night was feminine; the night was theirs. Each felt a quickening of the nerves, an awaking appetite, a sud den joy of existence, a sense of pos- rsession by the right of her position, her charm and her power; All the extravagance of pleasure, all the multiple electric allurement to the moving color of laughing crowds existed for them. Kitty Lightbody, rebel against a life of monotony and drudgery, cried, with a staccato laugh: "At last! My, it's grand to have just one good time!" They passed out of the high chill of the river into the sudden warm breath of the tenemented city and ran down to the Langdon hotel, "where the runabout was waiting." Gangs upstairs, said Laracy, with a fat flourish of his hand. Amy sought hungrily through the crowd in the vestibule. One glance, and she experienced a quiet satis faction. Beside Mrs. Challoner was Charlie Pardee, a slim, blonde, youth, with the usual flowing hair and pleasing face, unmarred by lines of heavy thought; Captain Barrisdale, an Anglo-American mining Croe sus, dark, heavy shouldered, copi ously scented, and receptively hand some, and behind them, as she had divined he would be from the first, Monte Bracken.

The American military policeman is about the most all-pervading thing in the city of Paris. The machinery of registration in and out of the railway stations cannot be pene trated by those "absent without leave.'; On the incoming platform of all the railway stations a line of these men distinguished by red hat bands and black brassards bearing the let ters "M. P." herds every American along a designated passage, usually fenced in, to the registratiion office There his travel orders and identifi cation card are examined and he is given a little blue ticket on which is written the period of his stay in Paris. The soldier must show it to other guards at the station exit and always have it ready to produce on the demand, tor the si. I . is everywhere. In the most unexpected places and at the most unexpected times the 'M. P." is likely to step up to a soldier and ask curtly "Your per mission, please." The "M. P." is around every cor ner, in and oufside of all the thea ters, at all the show places of Paris and very much in evidence in the cafe districts of the boulevard. If a permission is not exactly in order, if its stamped time limit for Paris 'has expired, the offender is taken to the provost marshal's office and it is a serious, matter after that. But as one of the "M. P.'s" re marked, "It sure does work all right, and it is hard to beat." Rhinelan'ders Declare Allegiance to Germany Coblenz. Feb. 2.
