THE O. H. S. TIGER, WEDNESDAY, MARCH 28, 1923. Page 5 TRIP ABROAD (Continued from last issue). Harry Lauder's song certainly was heartily sung the next morning at Reveille. Everything was fine at the academy and the hot showers and swimming pool were not forgotten. The best thing however, was yet to come, and that was the "eats." They were superb, thanks to those bewhiskered French chefs. During most of our stay in France, water was replaced by a light sour wine, as pure water is hard to get in France, almost as hard to get as pure champagne is in America. We were in Paris a week, visiting many interesting places. A favorite pastime was driving through the streets of the city in a horse-drawn carriage. A great deal of shopping was done in Paris, first of which was the buying of presents for friends at home, and souvenirs of all kinds, such as swords and pistols of the Napolennic period, medals of all kinds, iron crosses, legion of honor medals, croix de guerres, trinkets of all kinds, and cards and pictures. The Louvre, one of the greatest and finest museums of art in the world, containing the world's most famous works of painting and sculpture, and much of the valuable works brought to France by Na¬poleon during his campaigns. Among the statues, we saw that of the fa¬mous Venus de Milo. Several very old Cathedrals and churches were visited, Notre Dame, and the church of the Madeleine, were the most im¬pressive. One of the great experiences of our stay in Paris was a trip to the top of the Eiffel Tower, the highest structure in the world. There are two means of ascending to the top, a spiral staircase and an elevator. Most of us took the elevator and arrived at the very top in fifteen minutes, and those who chose the stairs got to the top in something like an hour, and will never forget the tower. The very top of the tower is used as a wireless station, but we were allowed to go there, and there was plenty of room for all. The tower sways three inches at the top, although we didn't notice it. In order to prevent anyone falling out, the tower it is enclosed with thick glass. One of the things we saw on looking down was an artist, who evidently didn't care much for life, sitting on a pirder a few feet below the top. He was painting a lanscape picture of the city, which didn't seem difficult from that height. The river Seine looked like a piece of string, while the city one thousand feet below much resembled a checker board. A visit was made to Versailles, where the famous palace of Louis XV stands. The palace is open to visitors and is truly a magnificent sight. The hall of mirrors in which the treaty of peace was signed in 1919 was visited as well as the bed¬rooms of the sovereigns of France. One day while resting at the foot of a statue in front of the Louvre, I chanced to sit next to a man who started to speak to us, and who told us lie was Daniel Frohman, an American moving picture producer, and brother of Charles Frohman who was drowned on the ill-fated Lusitania. He spoke to us about ambition and actors whom fie had put in the movies. Among other places visited in Paris, were the Tuileries, which played an important part in the French Revolution, the Petit Palais, the Grand Palais, where a great ex¬hibition was given by us, which was attended by many officials of the French government, and many wounded soldiers. Monuments commemorating events during the French Revolution, and the Napoleonic period, are to be found all over Paris, one of these covers the spot whereon stood the Bastille. This spot is called the "Place de la Bastille," a damp subway sta¬tion now runs through the founda¬tions of what was once the famous prison and fortress. On the last day of our stay _ in Paris, a great parade was held, which started at the Arch de Triomphe and went down, the Champs E'lyees. On Friday, August 13th, we started our tour of the battlefields of north¬ern France. Many of us agreed that it was an unlucky day to be starting on a trip of this kind, nevertheless we were all anxious to see the battle¬fields of the world's greatest war, which promised great excitement. We passed through many small towns^ on the train, all of which were just heaps of ruins. We stopped at Chantilly, where we were assigned to army trucks and field ambulances, and after being supplied with rations, consisting of a loaf of bread and a great chunk of cheese, we started for Chateau Thierry. After a speedy and dusty ride we arrived without mishap at the chateau. The whole village was in ruins, and the wrecked church spires and steeples, showed where the German snipers or sharp-shooters were hidden. Our guide explained that American troops were engaged in the Chateau Thierry cam¬paign from June 1, until about the middle of September, 1918. The American boys here stayed the Ger¬man advance and turned the tide of battle. Our next stop was at Belleau Woods where the United States Marines fought one of the most ter-rific battles of the war. Here, a great cemetery is located in which lie thousands of American soldiers. A short memorial service was held and the Denver Band played the Star Spangled Banner. On the other side of the hill opposite the cemetery is a trench system which we explored, and here we found a great many souvenirs, helmets, shells, guns, and a great pile of odds and ends. On the road to Fismes, our troubles be¬gan. As it was Friday the 13th, the steering appartus of the baggage truck went out of gear and was stalled in a ditch alongside the road; punctures were also quite frequent in our train of nineteen trucks. One of the largest trucks was overturned while tearing down a quiet road, at sixty miles an hour. No one was in¬jured seriously, one fellow being bat¬tered by canteens and souvenirs as they tumbled around in the truck. The truck was righted in an instant by willing hands and we were again on our way, reaching the totally ruined village of Fismes late in the afternoon, after having traveled over miles and miles of dust roads running through the wreck and ruin of the war. On the road to Fismes, we stopped at the lone grave of Quentin Roosevelt, marked by a white monu¬ment and an American flag. Here we paid homage to the memory of the brave American ace who fell on the spot where he now lies, buried by the Germans, who showed respect to his bravery by giving him a military burial, the only American so re¬spected by the Germans. We stayed at Fismes for half an hour visiting its many streets with its heaps of ruins. Many peasants still live in the ruins of their once humble homes, and in caves and dugouts.

"Will you have pie or ice cream, Gerald?" asked the hostess. The youngster pondered deeply, then with a relieved air decided, "Neither, thank you, I'll have an al a mode." Young wife: "It was juSt by luck that I was able to get this steak." Young husband: "It was sure tough luck." YOU CAN PROFIT By Walking Half a Block Down 24th Street To Buy Your SHOES.
