so often was the same as a man who
continually kept getting into trouble.
When 1 enlisted this time I was very
much surprised to see five or six
boys that 1 appeared against in the
boys court enlisted in my regiment,
and the first ten days it was pretty
hard for them to get used to army
discipline, but after four weeks the
change was wonderful. One of these
boys even made a record.
I'VE went on a practice march
about ten days ago in almost heavy
marching order-that is to say, we
carried so pounds of equipment. 1t
was about 12O degrees of heat in the
sun and we were marching at the
rate of 100 to 140 steps to the min
ute. The consequence was that over
800 men fell out, but two of these
boys who are now ON probation from
the boys court carried two haver-
sacks that were filled and two rifles
to help some comrade who was stag
gering along and couldn't carry his
own. One was virtually carrying a
comrade of his, and it has surely
changed my opinion Of the average
boy. r'..
81 was talking to them after the
march and they seemed to think it
was a joke, and men % to 40 years
of age were lining the road for seven

COPPER SOLDIER WRITES TO

Though this is a story that has
to do with the fact that the chance
less boy is the boy who will make
good in the proper environment,
where his spirit of adventure may
find legitimate outlet, there is an
other story justpas big folded inside
Of it. That is the generosity of the
copper, a detective sergeant who ar
rested the boys who run afoul of the
law because of their excess energy
and testified against them, and be-
Heved they were just mo account"
but who sat down in the broiling sun
on the Texas borderline and wrote
letter on top of a dishpan on his
knee, telling Judge DOlan of the
boys court that the chanceIess boy
makes good.

running not strictly straight as the

OVER FIFTY THOUSAND
LETTERS IN ONE HOUR

ATLANTA, Ca, Aug. 17.-Altogether
51.774 letters have just been recorded
as having been stamped in one hour
by the machine at the Atlanta post
office. This means that an average Of
$3.50 letters flashed down the schute
in one minute. On this basis, therefore,
every time your watch ticks, 14.3S let
ters were registered by the automatic
counter.
This machine is literally as quick as
lightning. 1t stamps more letters in a
minute than the famous rapid-fire ma
cline guns of the army spit" bull
lets.
But it must not be supposed that
this machine stamps so many letters
every minute of the day-oh, no, this
would not be possible at the Atlanta
postoffice, though machines in New
York are said to put Gotham's mark on
an average of about 500 letters every
minute.
On post near the machine is
marked some of the records made by
the machine. One accredits it with 35,-
Gao letters in one hour; just above
this is the record of 51,774 letters for
an hour. These high records usually
are made around the first of the month
when statements are mailed.
When one puts his letter through the
slot, it slides down the schute into
boxes. The clerks collect the mail in
the boxes and take it to the stamping
machine. The letters are almost
sucked through the machine, passing
along the schute in rapid succession.
A handful of letters vanishes through
the machine in an instant.

miles, thereby weakening the Germans

in that section, and infantry charges
are anticipated by the French before

The British today announce advances
west and southeast of Guillemont, at

the French effort referred to in the

Further evidence of increased stiffen-
