JusSy was gone. A cloud of dust and small blocks of brick and stone settled down on what had been its location, and now from a short distance nothing can be discerned to indicate the for mer position of the village.
 Even today, although the Germans know there is no possible lodgment tor troops among the ruins, they fire into the rubbish heaps very frequently from their positions on the opposite side of the marshes bordering the Disc, the only result of this waste of ammu- hilton being to cover the surface of the canal waters with brick dust.
 The French general commanding the division holding the line along the Disc in this vicinity is very proud of his troops, all of them veterans of many battles further north on the Sonnme and also around Verdun. He looks after their personal comfort with the greatest care, whether they are in the trenches or in their rest camps behind the lines. He is a great believer in encoura ging the spirit of sport. and when the men go into cantonments for their period of repose from the hard life Of the front line they spend most of the time while they are not practic- ing the latest tactics in playing field games Football is one of their fla vorite pastimes. and some of the bat talions have several teams which play lnter-company and inter- battalion games.
 The general has his headquarters in what was a stable. His tables are plain white wood and the seating ac- commodation is composed of rough benches. All around the walls are hung flags of the various allied nations pre- sented by visitors, and the largest of them is a sil<en American flag given him by the former American anba ssa dor to Turkey

A HATEFUL TERM,

T want to get rid of the word 'factory-hand" says Lord Lever huInae to the English people, "a most hateful term. as though a man had got no soul
 There are many more hateful terms than this applied to labor and under some of our contract systems No. 5 is reported to have been killed and that was all the employing end of the system knew of the empiOye until 9 belated compensation act forced cap itzI to have heart if 1t thought labor had no soul
 The var is wipirg out seIfshness and snobbishness in England: and the differences between the classes will never again be as cold or senseless.
 There is no room for snobbishness in the army: and there is no defense for 1t anywhere. As blight upon some churches it is as fatal as the blight which threatens to make an end of the chestnut trees and the pines.
 As a quality which never had any respectabi1ity on earth it is not likely to make it's way to heavenly planes.

HosroN,s wHEATLEss WEEK.

Boston leads the cities of America in response 70 present needs, to save wheat by eating less bread, so that it's "wheatless week" which was en- tered upon Monday will attract con- tinent-~ide attention
 IL Is certainly a patriotic response to the demands of the times. and a rood example which other cities should be proud to follow. Can we expect Norwich to have a wheatless week
 Of this the Post says: The bread to which Sylvester Graham gave his name more than half a century ago, made or unbolted wheat four, holds prominent place in the schedule of things permissible in the ''wheatless week"
 "The color scheme Is, in fact, the controlling feature; and it so happens that the golden yellow of the corn pone and of the hasty-pudding of early memory, the Quaker drab of the rye loaf, the sturdy brown of bran hreads certify to the preservation in their material of the most valuable clements of nutrition which have been ground out and sifted out of

PREPAREDNESS.

Preparedness consists not only of being ready to shoulder arms but to shoulder the taxes which are necessary to make the shouldered arms effective.
 The people oversubscribed the first Liberty loan by a billion, but what are they to do with the next one which Is sure to be called for, per- haps within 50 days.
 The maintenance of war appeals to our generosity as well as our courage and those who cannot fight should be prepared to make the lesser sacrifices in order to carry the war to a suc- cessful issue
 In order to facilitate, as well as anticipate, the coming Liberty loan it Is being recommended in some parts of the country that liberty loan clubs be formed to meet the call by busi- ness corporations or in other ways. By organizing into bodies large numbers of citizens will be ready to take the bonds on the weekly pay ment plan. a plan which will help many men to get money ahead who have hitherto failed
 The government will need the help of all the people and it is we'll for them to be ready.

STORIES OF THE WAR
Camp des Etats- Unis.
Correspondence of The Associated
 PreSS.)

(Correspondence of The Associated
 PresS.)
 Camp des Etats-Unis is the name of one of the best organized encamp- ments immediately behind the fighting front of the French army somewhere between La Fere and Saint Quentin. but the name does not imply the pres ence of American soldiers. It was thus baptized in honor of the visit Of Abrah L Elkus formerly American ambassador to Turkey, traces of whose passage through these devastated re- eions may be found in the names given to roads, bridges and groups of huts.
 One of the bridges over the. Saint Quentin canal bears the appellation Brooklyn suspension bridge, and evil Gently some of the engineers who help ed to construct it had seen the orig inal bridge over the East river. for wires have been hung in imitation Of that structure. The length naturally bears no comparison with that of it's pamesake.
 The correspondent of The Associated Press while passing through on the way to inspect the Camp des Etats- Unis, had witnessed many scenes of desolation but nothing more complete than that of the little town of Jussy itself. Before the war the place had been a very f1ourishing center in an agricultural district. It possessed 1,266 lnha bitants, whose dwellings, were all substantial constructions of stone and brick. Now not a civilian is to be found there nor a soldier either, for before evacuating the town under the strong pressure of the French and British troops the Germans had taken care not to leave a single building standing.
 It is not like other villages which have suffered al the hands of the Ger mans, since in most of them at least one or two shells of habitations are still to be seen Here every house was systematically demolished. a great high explosive bomb having been placed among the foundations of each one and all connected by wire 70 an cleo trical center, from which the current was turned on a quarter of an hour after the last detachment of German troops had passed through the streets in their hurried retreat.

is over. Large measures of food con- trol do not mean arbitrary interference with the necessary economic machinery of trade.
 It means that every branch be called in by the government and forge them selves into a link from which the contemplated chain will protect pro ducer, legitimate distributor and con- sumer.
 We are assured that the American farmer did not realize S1.30 a bushel for the 1916 wheat harvest, yet the price of wheat in New York today is about $3-25 a bushel and flour s14 barrel: Without proper control, we may see S20 four before the year is out, with a total dislocation of wages and consequent dislocation of industry and living.
 Space will not allow more that could be said upon this questions We would like to ask how much longer must the people bare their necl<s to the specu- lative axe? We do not concede the right of any set of food sharks to starve us. If the war is to be fought in the mill mine. on the railroad and farm, it IS the duty of the government to protect the people in those indus tries as it is to use it's best means to protect the soldier and sailor.

AS IT SHOULD BE.

The Federal Council of the Church es of Christ in America are perfectly satisfied with the action of the Sem ate Of the United States to submit the question of nationwide prohibi- ton to the people. Their representa- tive says:
 This action by the Senate tends to place the prohibition question before the people purely upon it's merits. And this is as it should be. There are so many questions involved in the liquor problem that national prohi- bition should not be tied up to any other question. And when the people vote upon it. they should have before them all the facts-socia1, economic and physical, so that if they should decide that booze must go, they will know just why they did so.'
 The Strengthen American Com paign' is backed by the Federal Coun- cil of the Churches of Christ in America, constituted by thirty lead ing Protestant denominations, having 14O, 900 churches which represent a constituency equal to about half the population of the United States. With this support MT. Sickle will begin a campaign for prohibition which will continue as long as there is a wet" state on the map.
 This is going to be a great educa- tional drive with the greatest amount of money behind it and the greatest force that ever backed such a cam paign in any country.

ONE THOUSAND VESSELS.

The. scheme to have 1,Go0 ships built in a year has failed; but it has been found possible to take over 700 ships which are being built in diff ferent parts Of the country represent ing a tonnage of perhaps a million and a half; and it may be possible to commander 300 more which were at seat when power was given the Pres ident to seize all ships for governm ent purposes, thus making it possible to have 1000 ships before the year is up.
 The -U-boat chasers are being srap- idly built, and the original plan for the construction of 1000 ships in a year is in full swing and will result III a great increase of tonnage within the next twelve months.
