" Almost ;every part of America is rep resented somewhere in the rambling old Eighteenth Century mansion which houses Andrew's .headquarters. Aside from contributions from many sources, more than seventy American universi ties and colleges have sent their stu dents to save French life on the bat tle fields. Never less than 300 ambu lances are engaged - in active service, hut over 600 have .crossed" the Atlantic and been put into .commission since the war began. Between seventy and eighty have been destroyed. The first car to leave headquarters for the front lis still partly in commission. Two big garages and workshops at tached to the Paris headquarters re pair and re-equrp the American cars when the damage is bad. If it is trivial, the work is done by moving re? pair shops on the. field. A few hours hef ore the United Press hp ! correspondent called - at headquarters an(j a message had arrived that three cars and the cars were 140. The work of the Ambulance Service is carried on by American funds. But all contributions to date have been small, though numerous, it was learn ed today. To face the big campaigns in which the French army will soon be involved the Service will need great help from the American people. "We can use all the money, ambu lances and men, the folks at home can Ssend," was the word given to the Unit ed Press in Passy today. L. oreptown university taites piace " "W-,.XT".

Many suave, po-! maded young men, joyous figures in I the dansante, are putting up their dancing shoes and skates and cutting out the cocktails and wily Scotch. The heavy dinner, .th 3 reeking cab aret and the little blonde athirst for glittering gems are being forgotten. The frothy set of Broadway real izes that war is here and they are getting fit. Those who have slipped from honest thinking into laisse faire are hardening their flabby muscles by exercise. The night life has shown the blighting effect . of wa,r. There are very few all-night parties. Even Jack has refused to serve drinks after 3 a. m. At Murray's, Pat Kyne, the man ager, called all the parlor snakes or lounge lizards or whatever name they go by into his private office. "Boys," he said, "we do not need you around here any more. Your country needs you and you'v3 got to go. I want you to show the world that even if you have been leading a care-free life you are men." Two enlisted that day. There are many other evidences that New York is preparing for the grim struggle. The Biltmore, Waldorf, Majestic and Ritz have eliminated the dishes that were usually hidden under a mass of French verbiage and aro offering only the simple palatable ones In this way they empty their ice boxes of much food that usually goes to waste. Barney Bernard told his latest. He brew story to a group of friends in the tap room of tho Clari'dge the other afternoon. At night school the teacher asked a Jewish young man, not Very long in this country, to use the word "theft" in a sentence. The young man thought a moment and replied: "Teft vas a very good president." S. S. Pratt, who is an oil expert from Kentucky, was in town the other day and told of Hick Skidmore, a negro, who was in a penitentiary down South under sentence of death. Somebody told him he ought to write the Governor and ask for clem ency, so Hick did. TIi:s in what he wrote : "Dear. Mistah Govcnah : Dey tells me day's gwine ter hang me noxt Fri day and heah it is Wednesday. Your friend. Hick Skidmore." Southern Association. At Nashville 1, Little Rock 0.

A lot of New Yorkers believe that peace will be declared by July 1 and that it will -go down in history as Peace Day. And there are oads of 10 to 1 on the proposition. One Broadwayite is talcing the "small end" willing to lose if the war ends. In fact, he is hoping that it ends. In France a company has been organized to take American tourists over the war country. Advertising matter is already being received here. It is expected that there will be' a great rush, but several steamship men say that the rush will not come until 1918 on account of the great number of mines that are floating about un chained in the ocean. (By "GM.") The kangaroo is the only ani- mal in the world that never edu- cated its feet It can't walk, -x-X- And it can only half fly. So it sits up on its hind legs and gets if- where it's going in leaps. There are many criticisms like -X- this we might make of the kan- garoo. It travels by jerks, like X- a local train. And if it lived in -X-x- an icy country it could leap ten -x- feet and slide a mile and have it on all of us. . But there is this to be said of -x- the brute. It certainly goes in -X- for .convenience. It jumps its rivers and ditches , and obviates bridges. And as for . the moth- era of the kangaroo race well, show us the American woman x- who . can put her baby in her pocket and go shopping. -x- -x- a- The passing on of "Diamond Jim" Brady Trevealed that there were many New Yorkers who believed that "Dia mond Jim" was a pleasure-loving, rich man's son. As a matter of fact from 8 a. m. until 3:30 p. m. he was considered the Greatest Salesman in the World. He forged his way from a . messenger boy to a multimillion aire. He started wearing huge dia monds for just the effect they had publicity. Finally jewels became his hobby. He loved the theatre be cause it amused him. Although a de vout patron of the gayest street in all the world he never smoked or took a drink in his life. No one ever vis ited his home no matter how often without leaving with : some gift.
