MacLane, chaplain of an infantry regiment in France, was used by him to cover the faces of dead soldiers lying in the Flanders mud and rain while their graves were being dug. It had been torn in many encounters with bar wire while the chaplain followed his troops, but an undiscriminating thief stole it from the minister's automobile Our Classified Ads Your Clearing House LATEST IN CORSAGE BOUQUETS Milady's fashionable corsage bou- quet may have started life as a hand- | ful of ragweed, for disabled soldiers in Kansas City hospitals are doing a thriving business in making artificial j and lifelike posies out of ordinary weeds.
