 To Aid Recruiting.
 'tThe bands were left at home to aid recruiting" say the new army men.
 We did not know but your officers might bring along their swords" re- marked the oldtimers. 4 There the veterans were having a dog at expense of the young junior officers, many of whom were at school when the war began. If there Is any ornament which is obsolete at the front it is the sword. 2.&
 Sword Symbol of Authority.
 The sword is the officers symbol of authority; the sign that he is on duty. In place of it the officer at the front wears his sword belt. Only one fresh to the front would see anything odd in countless officers with empty frogs for holding their swords at their hips. However, if all wore their caps with band and visors and no tops it would soon seem commonplace.
 The young officer of the new army who a year ago had no idea of ever being an officer also, has the empty frog and carries a walking stick. His sword along with countless other swords has been checked outside the cloakroom of war along with his urn- brella which no one thinks of carry ing at the front. You can not tell him from the other officers except by his eagerness and his battalion in signia. .. t.#"
 <"I had studded trenches and dug practice trenches and witnessed trench demonstrations" said one of them, "but when I came to go into a trench for instruction under fire l found that it was not like what had imagined. wonder why nobody has yet been able to describe a trench so you can really see it. Even the photographs deceive you. They are always taken of some show trench" ..
 Everybody Very Kind.
 For ten months the new army had waited for its Mecca. Its soldiers have read all about the effects of modern shell fire. They know what they are in for. Learners they came among ex- perts, expecting to be ragged a great deal as novices by the old hands, and except for the veteran regulars little jokes at their expense they have found everybody very kind.
 we need you-and there can't be too many of you," say the old-timers. Its you who must finish the job which we have begun"
 There are men in this new army who have incomes of ten thousand a year digging trenches beside man who had not a shilling when he en- listed; university graduates taking their baptism of shell fire as privates who "pal up" with men who can hard ly read and write.

Sacramento, Cal, Aug. 9.-The ref two of the four non-partisan state election bills, the chief measures ad- vocated by Gov Johnson at the re- cent session of the California legis- lature.

BRYAN'S PEACE TREATY
WOULD HEL> OUT GERMANY

Washington, ID. C.-Mr Wilson
probably did not commit the admin
istration to arbitration of any phase
of the controversy with Germany,
Notwithstanding his personal views.
1t is doubtful that the president
would consent to arbitration of any
of his demands were Germany to pro-
pose it.
Not a few friends of the admins
tration think it lucky for Mr.. Bryan
that Germany did not sign one Of his
peace treaties. If there was such a
treaty between Germany and the
United States Germany could cause
the reference of the whole contro-
versy over the killing of Americans
to the joint commission of an inves-
tigation lasting year. Nor would
Germany be obliged to abandon the
killing of Americans pending the
terminatiin of the investigation.
Mr.. Bryan. discussing the abstract
proposition admitted today that his
peace treaties lack any provision re-
quiring cessation of the acts COM
planned of pending the investigation
He said the matter never was con-
sidered Yet the treaties provide for

London, England The British

and the French forces to the south
of this town continue their offensive
against the German line and accord
ing to their respective commanders
Still are making progress. The Ger
man official statement, however, tak=
es issue with the allied commanders
in this respect and declares that all
the offensive movements against the
Germans have been repulsed.
The same Inconsistencies appear in
the reports of the fighting along the
User. although the Germans admit a
retirement and the French assert
that they have inflicted heavy losses
on the invaders. From all accounts,
however, it would appear that the
allies have melted the Germans TO
counter attacks. both on the User and
in the Arras region, and that to the
north of LaBassee the British are
doing the attacking.
