FRENCH GEN. SAYS U. S. ARMY
WILL SOON BE IN TRENCHES

American Training Camp in France
Aug. 16.-American soldiers will be
in the trenches of France, facing the
Germans in very short time. This
was the forecast made today by the
French general commanding the po-
lius giving the Americans their les
sons in trench fighting.
THE Americans have made sur
prisingly rapid progress with the
French fighting methods, he said.
They have made their training a
work of pleasure by regarding bay
onet. grenade and rifle drills as sport
They didn't like trench digging. but
II is just as much a matter of life
and death as bombing and shooting
the Germans"

An unheard Of thing happened last
week. For years the Reflector has
been publishing free for the govern
ment all sorts Of notices, ranging
from the list of unealledfor letters to
war orders, the theory evidently be-
ing that newspapers should not re-
ceive pay for anything done for the
government although everybody else
does. Nor did we even receive any
thanks until last week. The civil
service commission then sent nice
letter thanking the paper for publish
ing free a notice of examination to
be held for employees. 1t was so un-
expected and novel as to upset the
office for a little. Must be that some
courteous gentleman has been ap-
pointed on the commission, rare and
wonderful happening Newspapers are
the only concerns in the country
working for the government free.
