Celebrate Battle of St. Genevieve
With the American troops in France,
Oct. 15.-In a little shell-stricken
church in the town of Sainte Genev-
ieve, perched on a hill commanding a
view of Metz, Americans and French,
soldiers and civilians, Protestants and
Catholics, gathered today in solemn
celebration of the Battle of Sainte
Genevieve] foughtand won by the
French just. four years ago.
The village priest beamed with de-
light as he gazed upon his unusual
"flock" climbing up the hilly streets
which led to the church. In the shat-
tered belfry, with its gaping walls,
still swing two beautiful bells, and
these pealed out a joyous note as the
hour for early mass approached.
The little church was crowded with
men in khaki and horizon blue, with
a few old men in the more sombre
shades of civilian cloth, and women
and children gaily clad. The service
was as impressive as it was simple,
as the kindly priest asked blessings
upon the Americans.
French Honor General Gouraud
With the French Armies, .Oct. 15.-
one of the mostaimpressive military
reviews of the war took place recent-
ly when the various . units of the
French army, which swept the Ger-
mans back in the Champagne last
July, presented 48 battle-flags to their
commander, General Gouraud, the
one-armed hero of Gallipoli.
At a luncheon which followed 2,340
officers and men. each wearing one
or more of France's decorations for
distinguished service were in attend-
ance..
OFFICERS TO APPOINT
WEST POINT PROSPECTS
APPLICATIONS WILL BE RE-
CEIVED THROUGHOUT
THIS WEEK
Applications of candidates for ad-
mission to ,West Point will be re-
ceived today at the army, post, 548
South State street. All applicants
must be supplied with credentials
from Washington. These creden-
tials are based upon the recommen-
dations of congressmen of the dis-
tricts from which the men come.
A meeting of the men in charge
was held yesterday afternoon in Cap-
tain Ralph H. Durkee's office. The
committee of civilians appointed were:
Registrar Arthi G. Hall, chairman,
Prof. G. W. Patterson, Prof. J. W.
Bradshaw, and Prof. W. A. McLaugh-
lin. On the physical examining board
were placed Capt. B. C. Vaughan and
Lieut. G. W. McCaskey, medical offi-
cers, and Lieut. W. K. Montague,
Lieut. J. P. Norvall, and Lieut. J. D.
Balkan, line officers.
Applicationsfwillbe received and
examinations will be held each day
throughout the remainder of. the
week. The examinations will consist
of two parts, namely, mental and
physical. The physical test will be
quite rigid. In the mental test the
applicant will be quizzed on the fol-
lowing subjects: English (language
and composition), history (medieval
and modern), geography, algebra, and
plain geometry. The questions which
comprise the mental examinations are
sent out from Washington.
Although the number of applicants
is not yet known, authorities expect it
to be large.. The names of the men
accepted will be announced within the
next three weeks. Only one man from
each congressional district in the
state is taken. As high as five men
apply from each district.
Saginaw Lads Give Saturday Service
Saginaw, Oct,. 15.-Evincing their
patriotism and willingness to do any-
thing to help win the war, all the
boys of the Saginaw high school have
volunteered for service with the Unit-
ed States labor bureau after school
and on Saturdays. One of their first
assignments will be the pulling of
90 acres of beets.
Pouor Ole Dobbin
Laughs on Suuday
New York, Oct. 15.-There is no
need to "'watch your step" on Broad-
way these gasless Sunday nights.
Without :ho steady flow of mo-
tor vehicles that formerly kept the
traffic squad as busy on the "day of
rest" as any other, the asphalt seems
all but deserted.
"'ansom, sir!"
The once-familiar salutation, all but
forgotten during a generation of au-
tomobile supremacy, smites the ear.
The cabby has come into his own
again. Horses that had been de-
moted to common equine labor have
been recalled to their former places
between the curved shafts. Vehicles
of the eighties and nineties - two-
wheeled and four-wheeled-have been
resurrected from the dust and cob-
webs of livery stables which, once a
week, have, taken on some of their
ancient activity.
Between Thirty-third and Fifty-
ninth streets tonight traffic policemen
stood listlessly at their posts. Whis-
tles that usually signal "Go" and
"Stop" were stilled. Cabbies cut cor-
ners, and no imperious hand bade
them halt. Pedestrians dodged diag-
onally across the street, and the blue-
coats did not interfere. Traffic, with-
out the automobile, was not traffic }n
their eyes.
From the outset the metropolis has
complied in every particular with the
government request to conserve gas-
oline, and though many lines of activ-
ity have been curtailed, predictions of
a "blue Sabbath" have not been ful-
.filled. New York has been slowed up,
but hardly sobered by the gasless Sun-
days.
