l’ARlS, June 17.»Pedestrlanism is
being revived In France. The women
particularly are taking to walking.
even though they may have ample
means to indulge in motoring, both
[or the healthful exercise and the
economy. The new and more commo-
dious styles of women's skirts make
walking easier, and there is a certain
amount of rcstlcity about the new fash-
ions that does not go well with the
motor car, and it IS suggested that
this latter point has been an asthetic
reason for the revival of walking.
Every morning the popular alleys
’of the llois dc Iloulogne are turned
iptc training quarters by these new
ndepls of pedestrianlsm. The reduced
number of motor cars flying around
l‘aris and the consequent diminution
of the dust nuisance on the suburban
roads has made walking to Saint Cloud
and other delightful spots more com-
fortabie.
ROME. June 17.—The number of

that of any other army in Europe.
Everywhere on the italian front the
Amcricnn visitor finds men who have
been to the United States, and they us-
