Associated Press)-The arrival OF the +;
sr,t contingents Of the American
,rmy in France serve to recall the
taet that the United States is enter
i, war already old and wise-wise
With the dearly bought wisdom Of
three long adventurous years-and
stepped in all the diabolical wicked
ness that incessant delving into the
deyiltries Of destruction can Rsas to
it.
Having escaped the first terrors Of
weapons which German science had
evolved through tolling years Of mill
tary preparation, the American div
i,ions will nevertheless spaSage event
tually into seething cauldron which
has grown from the unavoidable pol
ky Of fighting the devil with fire..
They will have quickly to learn not
only to take the awful German fright
tulness with calm endurance, but to
return it with an ever increasing
measure. In doing this many nerve
testing and soul-searching experiences
undoubtedly lie before them, but there
are already thousands of young
Americans in the Canadian and Brit
ish ranks who have proved themselves
additionally worthy in the scorchin'
flames Of modern war.
The American forces are fortunate
indeed to be able to base their educa-
ton upon the bitter lessons learned
by the French and British soldiers in
all the eventful days that have fol-
lowed the first rush Of battle in 1914
Marvellously complete books Of in
structioni have been builded upon those
experiences and out Of these the
American soldiers will CLEAN the last
word knowledge that will fit them fol
the foremost trenches.
First Of all, when they take theil
place, will come the baptism Of fir
German shells that scream in from
the noisy black high explosive
afar and burst with terrifying re
pcrts-sometimes in most unexpecte'
places. The Germans are great be-
levers both in noise and high-explo
sive. They even mix their adored III
E. with their shrapnel shells whic
break high in the air and send thcl
bullets showering down with the whin
Of an angry winter wind. The Ansel

Saving money is very much like
getting married, easier after you
have made the start than you thot
it would be. Many men hesitate
to marry because they fear their
ability to live up to the expecta-

in many cases their fears are well
grounded. So, too, many men
and women earning fair incomes
delay starting a savings account,
fearing that they may be able to
keep it up regularly. when the
very truth is, that the start is the
very strongest possible incentive
to continue. Once the account is
opened it is surprising how it
grows, and how much JOY there is

the cossacks in the box repeatedly in

below them, Kerensky repeatedly APP

him. Several speeches were interrupted
with wild bursts of laughter.

Finally, a cossack private soldier, a
member of the soviet (Petrograd council
of workmen and soldlers) spoke. He de-
clared the cossacks were democrats and
not slaves of their cossack masters. The
three officers took instant umbrage.
All arose, One shouted ''That sounds
like German talk; no real cossack speaks
thus"
Kerensky stood up. Tie looked coldly
at the flushed faces Of the officers and
remarked acidly "'The officer who ad-
dresses a man like that on such an oc-
casion as this is a coward.'
Two more cossaek officers arose. One
shouted; 81 agree with my fellow Off
Ger, ana we are ready TO give anyone

The three hurriedly left the box and
FASTENED downstairs toward the door of
the stage. Several friends followed
them, begging the lurehing trio to re-
turn. Though Kerensky is carefully
guarded at all times, none of his private
soldier guard dared bar the progress of
the three officers. The three went on,
forcing the guard. They went down the
aisle toward Kerensky. The premier's
back was toward them.

Why Capital Journals
Soldiers Tobacco Fund
Should Be Supported

Grace Ellery Claiming, writing from
the wal front in France and scenes in
the hospitals in the last issue of the
Saturday Evening Post, has this to say:
cigarettes there are, Of course; a
world in which everyone is not smok-
ing has ceased to be Imaginable. If
there is anyone who is not, be sure it
is merely to ave a cigarette for some
poilu. Smoking, nee a calendar crime
for some Of us, has lost all meaning
all relation. A sane world may possibly
again recover a viewpoint about this
habit: at present the reprobate cigar
cite appears as a god angel-the min
imizer of suffering, the giver of a mo-
ment s pleasure where one longs to
give all. How many billions have gone
up in smoke, l wonder? Wasted? Not
unless it is waste to keep up the nerve
and the spirits of men called upon to
do the work Of supermen; not unless
ali is wasted that is not eaten or worn;
not unless the impalpable treasure of
memory is wasted. Women who have
spent their lives in fighting ''the to-
bacco eyil' may be heard today beg
ging tobacco from anybody; they would
steal it at need, to put it into the mu-
tilated or pain-racked hands of these
far brothers-with all the glowing con
seriousness Of a virtuous action perform
ed. l remember when | used to rank
cigarettes with homicide rather than
suicide. But then, nothing seems to hurt
the soldier-nothing but bona fide
wounds"

peared in their box. -
At this iuncture anne the usual mid
night recess of the conference. Keren'
sky, not knowing his narrow escape
passed the press tables. his face set III
stern lines and went slowly to the royal
green room, where Breshko Breshkovs'
kaya, grandmother of the revolution,
awaited him with hot coffee.
Suddenly across the press tables to-
ward the green room lurched the three
cossack officers, a small group of their
friends vainly endeavoring to pull them
back. A fourth cossaek came to the press
table, declaring excitedly that Kerensky
had called the eossacks towards and
that he would be challenged to a duel.
A few correspondents fastened to the
entrance room, expecting as the Officers
passed on to hear shots.
While all this was going on, the aud
fence sat restless, not knowing the cause
of the delay in reconvening. Those who
didn't know sat breathless, wondering
if Kerensky would dare come out AGAIN.
Cossacks Are Cowed. Is
Officers herded the drunken cossaeks
back into their boxes and the dressing
room behind it, and placed a guard over
them, But the guards were so wrought
up they were incapable of anything. l

of the box and the soldiers placed at
the door were so excited they let me
pass to get it without even a challenge.
Inside | saw a dozen officers in a fever
of talk, pointing toward the box.
A moment later Kerensky, ~inserutahly
cool of face and demeanor, walked quiet
" to the stage. AT that moment the cos
sack officers hurried into their box. A
seant dozen men stood near Kerensky.
The suspense was electric.
The premier saw the eosSaeks. He did
not hesitate. With grim haste he faced
the audience and rang the bell recon
vening the meeting.
Not a one of those on the stage who
witnessed the affair expected it to ter
otherwise than in a tragedy.
Kerensky himself knew the cossaeks
were putting his courage to the sup
test.
Rising, he said simply: ct called men
that interrupted a speaker towards,

The cossaeks sat silent, Maybe they
we're stricken helpless by the utter,
stark courage of the man. At any rate,
