AMERICAN TROOPS LANDED IN
FRANCE

Somewhere in France thousands OF
Americas lighting men are today en-.
camped, ready to take their places
in the trenches beside the seasoned
campaigners of the allies. Regulars
and marines, fresh from service on
the Mexican border or in Haiti or
Santo Domingo, were landed yester.
day after voyage in which the
German submarines were eluded, and
all records were broken for trans
porting overseas large military
unit.
News of the arrival of the troops
sent thrill through America as it
was generally unknown that any
large detachment had yet left these
shores
The forces will be net gain to
the allies, as the men will be fed,
clothed, armed and equipped by this
government. Already there are be-
ing stored at the encampment sup.
plies sufficient for many months.
The American forces will be an
independent unit, cooperating with
the allies. 1t has been suggested
that the Americans might be placed
as a connecting link between the
French and British armies, but the
exigencies Of the coming campaigns
will decide that question.

Wheeler announced that it would
probably not rain till after the feast
This announcement having been
made, number of gallant young
men busted themselves carrying OUT
tables from the dining room. Think
ing that six were sufficient they
stopped, but hearing the call more
tables" they Immediately responded
to the call and placed two more ta-
bles on the lawn n.-ra-.s . a.
The ladies now unloaded their
baskets making the table fairly groan
with the numerous good things tax

ed up ON either side of the tables
and prayer was, offered by Rev. L. r.
Smith, after which Mr.. D. w. Lun-
dy gave a very fluent and interest
ing address which was responded To
by Prof. Wheeler.
Before the cakes we're cut Prof.
Wheeler was asked to select a cake
for his wife who is in Conn. He
chose the one made by Mrs. T. H,
Stanley and Miss Hattie Ramsey.
The cake was snow-white encircled
with pink roses, and on the cake
were the words Rev. w. E. Wheeler,
June %, 1917
Everyone seemed to enjoy the
good eats and also the social hour
which followed.
Prof. Wheeler has spent half or his
life in our lovely Southland and
twenty-five of these years have been
spent at Pleasant HILL 1t is with
deep regret that we give up such 4
proficient and conscientious person,
and we shall always hold dear in our
memory one who has done so much
in the upbuilding of our community,
and in the education of the young
people, not only in our own state,
but in many other states which have
sent their girls and boys to Pleasant
Hill Academy. Prof. Wheeler has
a wide circle of friends who wish
him a most pleasant and happy
future.
