5O,O0O AMERICANS FIGHTING AT FRONT
 WITH THE ALLIES
More At Front In Europe Than Were Under Arms in Spanish
 American War

It has been recently computed that the actual fighting forces of Ameri- cans now in France under the Union Jack is probably larger than the Un- tied States army which was actually engaged in hostilities in the brief cam paign of the Spanish-American war
 Nearly 5O,000 Americans are estima- ted to be fighting in the ranks of the allies and inquiry showed that nearly four-fifths of these are in the khaki clad British army commanded by Field Marshal Haig.
 Hundreds of Americans keep pouring | in with each new battalion to take the place of their eountrymen who have given their lives for the allies and ! the hundreds who bear permanent scars and injuries. Naturally the Can- adian regiments attract the greatest number of Americans. Many former members of the United States army and of the crack national guard regi- ments answer to the British roll call. All have fought with pluck and de- ] termination that has won respect and admiration. Altho not so much has been written about the Americans ser wing in the British ranks as in regards to their brothers in the French army. British army traditions seldom coun- tenance the same enthusiastic expo sitions of individual deeds of heroism and daring as are included often in the French and German official re- ports.
 But the American Tommies have helped to write some bright pages in the history of the war in flying corps. medical corps. artillery and infantry.
 The correspondent of the Associated Press met one young fellow in the un- form of the Canadian artillery.
 ''What part of Canada are you from? he asked
 Los Angeles" came the grinning reply.
 Corresponding answers could be had from thousands who hailed from every section of the States.

People Are Prone to Organize.

The tendency to organize Is strong
in the human breast. Whenever few
people get together, they organize
into something or other. Men organ
ize into lodges because some fellow
who gets half the initiation fee
comes around and organizes them.
Then they organize into various
kinds of associations mostly because
somebody wants to be elected an
officer of something. Women must or
ganize just to keep up with the men,
as nobody has yet advanced any bet
ter reason. Down at Newton, Ia,
some observing woman has just COM
pleted a census of the various organi-
cations in that little town, and she
announces her result as 145, and
Newton has only about $500 peo-
pie. This did not include the chill
dren's organizations, either. Eighty
six we're women's clubs and the rest
we're either mems or mixed.
