''First Time Since War My
Grave Hasn't Been Decorated

STEVENSON, Cal, May 81
To-day will be the first Decora-
ton day in so years that NV
grave in the Alton, ILL.,. cemetery
has not been decorated"
1t was John w. Franse speak
ing. He is$1 years old and lives
on a ranch few miles outside Of
Stevenson.
For 80 long, weary years
his sister placed flowers on
her brothers grave every
Decoration day-or rather
on the grave she thought
was her brothers for she
had been told that he died
after being captured I'm the
Civil war.
Then only few weeks ago az
the result of chance remark she
learned that her brother was
alive and well in California
Their reunion quickly followed
and this year she will be spared
the sad trip to the graveyard in
Alton.
Il found my sister," H'ranst
continued, "in Kirkwood, Mo-, d
suburb of st. Louis.
"She is Mrs. w. II. Marxin
now; and virtually all of her life
she has been a stranger to me
and | to her,"
Franse tried to trace his rela
tives when he was released from
prison after the war, but when
he failed, turned his face to the
setting sun, and after a rancher's
life in ldahos and South Dakota
came to Stevenson.

REV. SUTTON

Will the friends of the Rev.
]. H. Sutton, until recently the
pastor of the First Baptist church
endeavor to reinstate him as tn,
pastor of the congregation?
There is an entire possibility
that they may, members Of the
First Baptist board of deacons ad-
mitted today. Already DIR. SUIT
ton has said he will be in the city
next Sunday for a meeting in the
Empress theater. e. e. Sander
son Is making arrangements.
The plan so far as made public
Is to be found a Peoples church,
but so democratic is the Baptist
church that a simple majority
vote can reinstate him as pastor.
He was recently cleared of
charges made by a 15-year-old
girl, and given letter of honor
able dismissal by the church.

The South Dakota is open to

BERLIN, July 2S.-Germany's
year of war in the west has Grip
pied France and shamed the Eng,
lish.
Only once has Germany been
superior in numbers to her west
ern opponents, according to the
claim of Teutonic authorities
That was during the rush through
Belgium and to Paris.
The superiority at that time
was due to the slow mobilization
of the French and the breakdown
of the English plans for hurrying
large army to the continent.
The Germans taught the French
and English the secrets of defen-
sive entrenching; the Germans
revealed the superiority OF siege
guns over the strongest fort
resses; the Germans first discov.
cred the modern necessity for
high powered shells and machine
guns.
Only dice did the Germany mil.
itary machine miscalculate. That
was in the battle before the gates
of Paris. General Won Kluck was
not informed that field army
had been hidden away in Paris

prepared to strike at his flank,
and the German general staff did
not suppose the French army had
in General Foch a great military
leader capable of splitting the
Teutonic center east of Paris and
driving it back to the Aisne.
General Won Moltke, who was
a sick man throughout the sum-
mer campaign, was later replaced
as chief of the general staff by
General Won Falkenhayn, and
since then, Germany has been well
satisfied with the progress or
events in the west.
The retreat from Paris will go
down in German history as a
brilliant feat of arms because of
the manner in which 1t was
checked at the Aisne. So puzzled
were the allies by the German
maneuvers that Sir John French
actually reported in the early days
of the battle of the Aisne that II
probably was only a rearguard
action on the part of the Germans.
