CAME OVER' TO ITS FRIENDS Eagle in France Quickly Naturalized When Made Prisoner, and Went Into Battle Against Huns. This story is told by Stars and Stripes, the American army paper printed in France: On Bastille day a group of French and Yanks were celebrating in a little town not far behind the lines. The cer: Issued an appeal for games for' Yanks were doing their part by pitch- ing small coins into'a tin can when a big eagle swooped down from the north and slighted on the ridgepole of a barn. He was so black and rapa- cious and altogether militaristic in ap- pearance that he looked as though he might have flown €quarely out of the Prussiasi coat of arms. "Frits, 1a!" shouted a French sol- dier, and the game stopped. Somebody got a net, and somebody else got up on the reof. The nét was too short and the eagle just leoked at it, yawned and went to sleep. A young French soldier wha 'started a second offensive "was foiféd when the eagle awoke and flew lazily to a neighboring roof. Another tried. This time the eagle flopped off and alighted on the American billet. 3 : He seemed to' think he was safe there, or perhapsthe didn't mind, for the next attempt'to snare him suc- ceeded.

During the conversa- tion a. fellow-citizen, who Is fond of expressing his opinion, but whose field of information is so limited that he doesn't appreciate how small it is, Joined the crowd and listened to the various expressions. Unable to 'hold his silence, he clared: Cm "There ain't no doubt but that onr boys has throwd new life into the, alleys, but in my opinion the Huns can't fight like the Germans did." And theu before anyone could get in'a word he added: : "And then we've done lots better work since our merchant marines has got Into the front line action." reste "Bear" Proved Harmless.

"Don't you keep a diary? asked Bil- lers, placing his daily record back In its resting place, "If I keep a diary I lose it," replied Wilbur 'paradoxically, "and te keep a diary that you'd eventually lose is bad business. . !
