A MILLION MEN AND TEDDY.

written for the Dorsch's Cook County ulD AdvocateReview)
BY JEREMIAH STONE ALLEN.
Teddy never needs n o other introduction
When W hear that name W know just who it means.
He's the idol of the people Of our nation
And Is bright Is any earthly star that CLEANS.
When he comes TO town the Teddy fans q o crazy
Because they know he's honest thru and thru.
For they like a fighting man. and know that Teddy can
Bring honor to the Red, the White and Blue.
There are a million volunteers turnout the country
Who would like to go across the e with him,
They are the youth OF and flower of our nation
And are waiting for the hot time to begin;
For they want a man the nation a depend on,
A man that's not afraid of any foe
SO we hope the President will soon have Teddy sent
Across the sea to cut the tyrants low
CHORUS
A million men and Teddy
To go scros the sea
With cavalry land infantry
= In the fight of liberty;
With the Stars and Stripes to guide them
They will rush and crush until
The sword OF General Hindenburg
Goes TO the Hero OF San Juan Hill.

PUSHES FORWARD
FOR NEW GAINS
Germans Show Disposition to
Continue Attacks in
France
BY Associated Press

General Cadorna has set his effec-
tive military machine in motion again,
his report to-day showing a renewal
of the Italian thrust in the direction
of Trieste.
The new advance was scored on a
two-and-a- -half-mile front south of
Castagnavizza, along which the Ital-
ians pushed something like quarter
of mile nearer their goal. The proc
ess of hemming in Duino, on the coast
to the south, an important outlying
defense of Triest, is in the progress
over the immensely difficult ground
on the Carso plateau.
The Germans are showing dispo-
sition to continue their attacks on the
Aisne front. They announce to-day the
capture by surprise of a French posi-
tion ten thousand yards long north
east of Scissors. In reporting this en-
gagement last night. the Paris war
office declared the Germans were eX-
PEELED from all but few elements of
the advanced trenches in which they
had gained a foothold.
British bombs were again dropped
by the ton last night upon German
bases along the Belgian coast. This
was the second successive night in

Returned Worker in Orient
Minimizes Seriousness
of Revolution in China

One must minimize the seriousness
of revolutions in China at this time,"
said George Weidman Croft, profess
sor of Scientific College at Canton,
China, home on a furlough after five
years of service, when details of the
latest outbreak were related to him
his morning.
The country is in a great state of
tuTmoil-much like this country was
during the reconstruction period"
continued Mr.. Croft, "and the people
are uneasy all the time. Ordinarily
they are very peace-loving, but their
revolutions lately never are serious"
Human Not Affected
Mr.. Croft is a brother of Mrs.
Ralph l. Delhi, of PaXtang, and dur
ing his stay in this city is her guest.
He expects to remain in this country
until next year. studying and fitting
himself for more advanced work in
the Orient.
Because of the similarity of names,
it was feared by relatives here of
many missionaries in China that the
Ho-Nan district referred to as one Of
the nests of strife was the province
of Human. Mr.. Croft explained that
Human was farther north and un-
doubtedly is not affected by the pres
ent trouble.
