“Germany is threatened with a
beer shortage. The barley crops have
failed, and therefore brewing is at a
standstill. However, we and our allies
are brewing a lot of trouble for the
thirsty Boche,” say Uncle Sam’s soldiers in their official paper, the
Stars and Stripes.
Every Friday the Stars and Stripes
is published by and for the American
expeditionary forces in France, and
it comes out “chuck full” of typic
ally American news for Americans.
The subscription price for soldiers is
four francs for three months.
It has been declared everything,
from “the best paper on that side M’
the pond” to “the most complete and
typical newspaper of any military
force in the world.” Without a doubt
the Stars and Stripes is sure to be a
big and lasting success.

Besides everything else Mr. White is editor of the Emporia Gazette, Kansas, and the author of “The Court of Boyville” and “In Our Town.”
