artillery ROARS ON
FRENCH front TODAY
By HENRY WOOD.

United Press STAFF Correspondent
WITH THE FRENCH ARMIES AT THE
FRONT, Sept. 25.-FOr the first time in
the worlds history, battles today are
being fought on the French front where
the number Of artillerymen preparing
the attack equals-and often exceeds
the number Of infantrymen In the as
sault.
Artillery preparation" today means
perhaps a million shells day-a
record frequently reached in recent
French offensive attacks.
Such concentration OF artlllerymen
and Of shells is the greatest develop
ment yet reached in the warfare OF
material" 10 is the basis on which
American troops will participate. When
American lnfantrymen eventually are
called upon TO "go over" 1t should be
after artillery preparation possibly not
Of a million, but OF two million shells.
Already this new masslng Of artillery
has been developed by the French'to a
point where the material exceeds the
widest Imagination Of three days ago.

FINLEY PETER DUNNE.

MT. Dooley and Mr. Hennessy are having a foine toime today, bedad, for, faith, they're celebratin' the birthday of their creator, Finley Peter Dunne. Everybody knows MT. Dooley and his frind MT. Hennessy and everybody who knows either or both of them simply must know MT. Dunne. The creator of the serio-comicaI. phi1oso- phical. MT. Dooley was born on July 10, 1867, and is therefore today just 50 years. young. Chicago has the honor of claiming him for her own and it was here that Dunne was edu- cated. In 1885 he decided that the world should really know a little more about things in general and so he became a reporter. He served on various papers and finally on the edi- torial staff of the Chicago Evening Post and Times Herald. Then he stepped higher up the ladder of sue cess and became editor of the Chicago Journal This exalted position he held from 1897 to 1900 and it was during this time that MT. Dooley and MT. Hennessy made their respective bows to the public. MT. Dooley especially made bows, lots of them, and the more. he made the better the public liked him. This Irish gentleman is the principal character in Finley Peter Dunnes writings, the last of which appearediin 1910. MT. Dunne now re- sides in New York city, where he is engaged in writing magazine articles. His works are read and have made an enormous hit in every part of the English speaking world.

TIN CANS MAKE WAR FUND.

Have you ever thought of the fact that all the old tin cans you see lying about the streets may help win the war? Sounds queer, doesn't it !? But it's true nevertheless. If you want to be convinced, just ask the people of the little town of Keigh1ey in York shire. That little town is setting the pace for all England in the enforce ment of strict economy in public af- fairs as. well as in the household. Kenghley profits almost $2,0o0 a year from the collection of old tin cans. jars, bottles, newspapers, frayed cloth ing and other odds and ends that are generally considered just junk. In every household in Keighley you will find, printed. in letters of red, white and blue, the pledge: "In honor bound we adopt the national scale of voluntary ratfons.' This town has not alone compiled with the regula- tions for keeping down the consump- ton of meat, but has actually kept the consumption half a pound per person below the amount allowed. Keighley, with 10000 inhabitants, early decided
 that it must organize to help win the
 war. Boy Scouts were placed in charge of refuse collection, squad to
 every ward. A central collection de- pot was established and here the
 "junk' is assorted and forwarded to various plants that can make use of it in the production of all sorts of ma- terials made for the troops at the front as well as for home use. How about following the example of Keigh1ey in our own country? Every little bit helps, even the saving of tin cans and rubbish in the successful prosecution of the war

Pershing Demands
 Courtesy To Women

Paris, July 10.-Major General Pershing, Commander of the Ameri-. can forces in France. has issued the following general order to his troops:
 For the first time in history an American army finds itself in Euro pean territory The good name of the United States of American and the maintenance of cordial relations re- quire the perfect department of each member of this command.
 It is of the gravest iportance that the soldiers of the American army shall at all times treat the French people, and especially the women. with the greatest courtesy and con sideration. The valiant deeds of the French armies and the Allies, by which they together have successfully maintained the common cause for three years, and the sacrifices of the civil population of France in support of their armies, command our pro- found respect This can best be ex- pressed on the part of our forces by uniform courtesies to all the French people and by faithful observance of their laws and customs. ] '"The intense cultivation of the soil in France, under conditions caused Iby the war, makes 1t necessary that extreme care be taken to do no dam- age to private property. The entire French manhood capable Of bearing arms is in the field, fighting the ene- my, and it should, therefore, be a point of honor to each member of the American army to avoid doing the least damage to any property in France. Such conduct is much more lreprehensib1e here. Honor them as those of our own country.
