"So the grim machinery of war be-

with perfect preparation because,
smore than two years previously, an
individual war-book had been prepar-
ed by the Colonial Committee of De-
fense for every single Protectorate
and island. It was at that moment
locked in the safe of each governor
or commissioner and they knew at

The forty-second issue of the "Stars
and Stripes" typifies the spirit of our
victorious troops. This weekly voice
of the A. E. F. is edited by a staff of
professional newspapermen that are
in active service. It is an eight page
paper, a trifle longer than the average
paper, and the accounts of our var-
ious regiments are interspersed with
many cartoons, jokes, and poems.
General Pershing employed this
fourty-second issue of this paper to
express to his men his personal ap-
preciation of the way that they have
fought the Hun and exhorted them to
even greater courage and discipline
in the trials that now face every man.
In his own words, "Whether you stand
on hostile territory or on the friendly
soil of France, you will so bear your-
self in discipline, appearance and re-
spect for all civil rights that you will

NEW LIGHTS MAY BE
INSTALLED IN CITY
'1
Xmas Candy
"Under city instructions six exper-
imental lamps of the 600 candle-pow-
er Mazda type are to be installed im-
mediately in a trial test to better the
system of arc lighting now in effect
in Ann Arbor," said Mr. E. T Cope,
manager of the Detroit Edison com-
pany, yesterday. "The new, lamps
will give more light for the same
money due to the fact that no more
current is used than is consumed in
the present arc light and also that
the trimming, or replacing burned out
'carbons in each light daily, is entire-
ly done away with."
Through a thorough investigation
of the poor quality of street light
which Ann Arbor has been getting,
Mr. Cope has discovered many serious
cases of "tree interference" d'ue to the
wearing off of insulation on wires
by limbs of trees, thus short circuit-
ing many street lamps. Trees through-I
out Ann Arbor are:"now being trim-
med under direction of the city for-
ester to avoid further cases of inter-
ference.'
"Nothing' definite can yet be said
concerning the permanent adoption]
of this system of lighting," said Mr.s
;Cope. "A thorough and fair trial is
to be made of the six lamps and then
a report will be made to the city
,council."4
which every American feels for your
uniform and you."
The editorials of this paper are for
and by the soldiers of the A. E. F.
They are humorous and inviting while
between the lines one may read of the
wonderful self-sacrifices that every-
day occur in the ranks of the fight-
ing armies.
Many individual units enjoy the dis-
tinction of publishing their own pa-
per, some even boast of being affiliated
with the "assassinated press," but
"The Stars and Stripes" will go down
in history as the production and en-
joyment of the finest army of fight-
ing men that ever graced a battle
field.
The advertising columns of "The
Stars and Stripes" contain probably
the most cosmopolitan assortment of
ads of any known newspaper, in that
they describe the products of most of
the European countries in addition to-
those of the United States.
The make up of the paper is of
special note because of the variety of
types of.headlines used. Contributed
poems take up almost an entire page
while humorous occurences are relat-
ed on another page.
Military Authorities Help Postoffice
Every man, before being discharged
from the S. A. T. C., was required to
hand to his company commander the
address to which he wished his mail
sent. Since the men have been dis-
missed a great deal of mail matter
has arrived here for them. The local
postoffice is making use of the ad-
dresses collected by the military au-
thorities, and turned over to it, to
forward the mail to the men. It would
have been necessary for every man to
make out a change of address card to
secure his mail if the military head-
quarters had not collected the ad-
dresses.

London (Correspondence of the As-
sociated Press).-Return to America
for the American soldiers who have
camped in England for half a year
without ever seeing the French front
means a return to a land where pa-
per money looks like their idea of
money. One disconsolate private was
accosted at Eagle Hut, London, the
big Y. M. C. A. center.
"What's the matter, son?" asked a
Red Triangle secretary.
"I was just thinking I'd like some
of those pancakes, sir," the private
answered mournfully.
"And you're broke, heh?" the Red
Triangle man guessed from long ex-
perience.
"Yes, sir."
"Been a long time since pay day?"
"No, sir, we were paid last Satur-,
day."
"Lost your money?"
"Well, you might call it that."
"Stolen?"
"No, sir. Yu see, sir, there was
some of us walking home last night
and I pulled out my cigarettes and
passed them around. I thought they
tasted a bit funny, at the time. And
then this morning I discovered that
I'd burned up all my money. It was
those blame little 10 shilling notes,
made out of tissue paper."
