Five medals hang on the old mans

Senator Says Victory Can Be Won
by Quick Money Sacrifice.

Sacrifice your dollars now and save
many lives that otherwise will be

American people yesterday In q Sen
ate speech.
The nation, he declared. has the
power so to reorganIze industrially
and economically within a year as to

soldier has set foot in France"
Here are some OF the punches in
Senator Johnson's speech:
Sacrifice dollars now or men next

Democracy must centralize its
power for its own protection.
Immediate necessity exists for
legislation to prevent robbery Of the
people by food spectators.
Modern warfare requires sacrifice

proceeding was about as undramatic
as possibly can be imagined. but the
moment was historic nevertheless.
IL was announced in the Partisan
n, wapGpsrs that this body of AmsIi-
can auxiliary troops. drivers Of heavy
ammunition transports attached -
the French artillery, was starting
from Paris to the front. and 4 crowd
OF Americans visited the railway sta
tlon to see them off. They themselves
did not know at the time that thoy
were going not to the actual front
but to a school" within sound Of
the guns, where their training would
be iinIshTd.
Owing TO the adaptabilIty OF the
young American and owing to the fact
that most OF these boys were already
able to drive a touring car the course
Of training which usually takes four
or ave weeks for French recruits was
finished in less than fortnight When
the officers Of the training school re
ported that the men of Section --.

They Hear Roar Of Battle.
They were established in a pretty
piece OF French wood half a mile or so
from a small village as yet untouched
by long range bombardment How
ever, an attack was on that night
along the line a few miles away and
the rumbIes OF a preliminary bonn
bardmsnt shook the leaves of the
trees. The section which was going
on the morrow TO a lot of hard work
and probably some glory was living In
tents with dirt floors. Camped with
them were more sections then under

they will probably be at work before
this account IL printed.
II had been raining for several days,
and all the low lying trails about the
high spot where the tents stood were
sloppy and wet So the FIRST sight OF
America at war as a body was a file OF
young college men with brown over
aIls over their uniforms passing paw
ing stones from q motor truck and ar
ranging them to make q practical
path between the road and the camp.
They were taller. freer of movement
and conspicuously younger than the

moment half a dozen OF the artillery
men. their blue uniforms faded almost
green, their helmets dented by HARD
service, were watching them work.
One of them removed his pipe from
his mouth and addressed me as came
up.

slang, they are already learning that
there is hard work about warts Il

Onieers Speak English.
As a matter Of fact, they had been
working harder in these days OF
preliminary training than they are
likely to work again except in the
brief intervals OF an attack. The Of
