CraCy-AII For France.

WASHINGTON. Aug. T. - The
French poilu is not fighting for de-
mocracy. he is lighting for France -
the soil of France He is not fight
ing for his government, nor for any
form Of government. He hates all
governments. his own included. And
when the Germans are forced back
over their own line il will be difficult.
if not impossible. for his government
20 keep him lighting longer"
This was the declaration today OF
William +. Watson, a Harvard stu
deLt who has just returned 20 the
United States after many months
spent as an ambulance driver on the
French fighting front.
Il shall not go back" ne said II
have had enough. The very thought
of il all nauseates me. The odor is
fearful-never 10 be forgotten. Only
by miracle have the British and
French troops been delivered from
the epidemics that are the natural
consequences of such conditions.
The physicians are working
night and day to ward off the seem
ingly inevitable epidemics. while at
the same time taking care Of the
wounded and dying. While the
United States plans TO send seven
doctors with every thousand men,
England has only two and a half
doctors 10 "A thousand men and
France is only a little better off.
France BIcd White.
France has been bled white
/ There is little she can do until
American troops arrive TO reinforce
her lines. She is sending one-arm-
ed, one-legged and one-eyed men
back on the line To maintain the
Struggle. To the French poilu it
seems that Germany will never be
beaten. He has seen the concrete
trenches that must be reduced and
has witnessed the fearful loss of
life that II costs to tackle such a
trench. He is convinced that parall-
ell lines of such trenches run all the
way To Berlin. He is without hope.
The devastation that has met
him on his advances has made the
poilu who survived those battles
sick at heart. Everything that
could be destroyed was destroyed by
the retreating Germans. The
ground was sprinkled with chemicals
that will make it sterile for 90
years. The invaded soil is hardly
worth lighting for practically, but il
/ is sentiment that makes the French
man fight on.
When the war is over we may
| expect great changes in govern
ments and in forms of government
/ The United States, unless its forces
go up against the same conditions
that the French poilu and the Brit
ish Tommy have will be left far be-
! hind. The new governments that
spring up will be founded on human
| ity. and will not be made the bull
/ warks OF cOmmercialism, capitalism
and indus,rialism. The men on the
/ fighting fronts have had their eyes
/ opened. 1t will be a different SET
/ OF soldiers that comes marching
J home from this war. There is moth
! ing like war. I have found 70 make

HUNTINGTON. Ind, Aug. A.
Whether he will he classed as a de-
serter for failure 10 report for duty
in the engineering corps at Fort
Benjamin Harrison Sunday is the
cause of much worry TO Silas Brick
ley of Markle, Huntington county,
who Is held in the county Jail on a
statutory charge. Brickley was ar
rested several months ago but was
released on $1,000 bond. Learning
that Brickley enlisted about a week
ago, his bondsmen turned the de-
PENDANT over TO the sheriff. fearing
that his absence on the day of trial
would cause forfeit OF the bond.
Pros. Atty. Sapp declares he will not
turn Brickley over to the military
authorities unless compelled 10 do so.
