AMERICAN ARTILLERYMEN IN
FRANCE

Announcement, permitted to percolate
through the censorship, to the effect that
United States artillerymen have arrived
in Europe and have already been going
through course of training under super
vision of French experts in the use Of
ordnance gives color 20 the belief that
the American forces are about ready to
take their places in the front line along
with the French, the British and the Bel
gians. Artillery is, Of course, necessary
TO back up the infantry; and X Is prob

| Nobody could be sure how this great
experiment in civilization in the United
States would turn out when it was pro-
posed Some despaired, many We're de-
spondent, almost everybody had grave
doubts. The matter was put to the test.
The elements were placed in the cru
chile by the alchemist, who was TO make
gold out of such inferior metals as a
mixed population, general slackness in
respect for any law infringing on person
al convenience, widespread ignorance and
lively prejudice against doing any dis
agreeable work The population, the law
and the appeal to the nation were placed
over the fire of public opinion in a free
country.
A month after Congress passed the
consumption law registration day came
and passed. and its record was made.
Three months from that registration day
all over the country 8 per cent of the
American army is in camp. BY the 10th
of this month IS per cent will be added
to the number, and the American people,
who for years have not considered the
possibility of doing any duty which in
terfered with their personal business or
pleasure. will have responded automati

be equally as well prepared to back then
up. Under the tutelage of French In
structors the American gunners should
improve rapidly in the use of the great
guns, such as are required to pulverizc
the heavy defenses built up by the Ger
mans, for the French gunners are noto'
riously well advanced in their line OF
work The people of the United States
have confidence in the mental adaptable
ity of their representatives abroad and
expect them to take full advantage Of
the instruction offered them. Therefore,
we anticipate that before many official
reports have come and gone we shall hear
of successful bombardments and drum
fires by gunners of the United States
forces.

REBUILDING VILLAGES
W DEVASTATED FRANCE
American Red Cross Has Adopted the
Motto of Housing Follows
the Plow."

Washington, Sept. l4-The following
cable from Major Grayson, NJ ?. Muir
ply, head of the Red Cross commission
to France has been received by the Red
Cross council:
The bureau of reconstruction of civil
affairs of the American Red Cross in
France has new motto; Housing Fol.
lows the Plow'
"ln view of the oyershadowing impor-
lance of augmenting in every possible
way the food supply, the Red Cross will
carry on its first work of reconstruction
in those portions of the devastated areas
which are selected by the government as
the best wheat growing regions and to
which the French government sends its
batteries of tractors for blowing by
wholesale, Representatives of three di.
visions of the American Red Crsos in
France planning, engineering and civil
affairs returned recently from study
of conditions in the devastated areas,
having selected three villages in which
provisional reconstruction work will be
begun within fortnight.
Fifty villages were visited. In some,
the destruction of building was complete.
In Others portion OF the buildings
can be repaired, Nearly all the houses
are without roofs, without windows and
door frames, and with absolutely no fur
niture or utensils.
THE Red Cross plans to do provisional
reconstruction of dwellings in several of
these villages, and also, as the refugees
return to the villages, to assist in their
economic and social rehabilitation. IN
the light of experience gained in these
it plans to undertake provision
al reconstruction on a large scale. In
these particular villages, the total pop
ulation before the war was 1897 Now
it is 235.
THE villages first selected are those I
in the best wheat growing area, and
the government will plow the land with
tractors. The repair of the houses will
permit the return of the refugees who
can do much toward getting the land
sown to wheat this autumn. In order +
to encroach as little as possible on the |
limited supply OF lumber the Red Cross (
is selecting villages in which the work

Congressional forces are rapidly falling
into line in the general movement to pre-
pare the country for the shock of war,
the House giving the latest demonstra-
tion by passing by unanimous vote the
soldiers and sailors insurance bill, de-
signed to aid the dependents Of the men
who enter the service of the country dur
ing the war. At least three votes may
be expected against the measure when
it comes before the Senate for final action,
but the foreknowledge is bound to dis
count the Importance of the opposition.

Official denial is made that dynamite
has been discovered near the national
cantonment at Aver, the claim being
made that some sticks of dynamite stored
by a building contractor were removed
from their storage place because the
place was too near an army remount
station. The denial carries more weight
than the original story; in fact, the orig
inal story was a somewhat light and
filmy affair. Just why any plotters
should carry sticks of dynamite to a
point near some building they desired to
blow up and should leave it there to be
detected promptly is not apparent Plot
tiers to blow up a building would not do
a nefarious job by piecemeal; they would
carry the dynamite to the selected place
and set it off without waiting to have
their plans foiled The dynamite plot"
Mt Aver must have been the product of
3 vivid imagination constructed on the
single truth of the removal from one
storage place to another.

The Italian forces must be in better
condition than the Austrians to continue
the battle for San Gabrielle and other
strongholds on the Isonzo front because
Italy as a nation is not nearly as much
exhausted by the war as her enemy,
while at the same time Italy has the dis
Itinct advantage of having the resources
of the United States, not to speak of
Great Britain, back of it, If the Italian
forces under General Cadorna continue
their pressure on this sector they are
bound to succeed despite the fact that
the Austrians, being on the defensive
and behind their tremendously strong
breastworks, have the advantage in the
immediate fighting. The latest reports
from that battle front state that the at
tack is being maintained by General Ca
dorna, which is distinctly encouraging to
the entente allies and their friends.

tions the Italians probably will be

bringing up the heaviest howitzers

assault before the full strength Of al

The Italians are holding the middle

greater portion of those who crossed
the stream. The enemy is trying with
strong forces to the north to beat

Teaching Youth Courtesy,

1t Is true that the one-time honored
"ma'am" has gone to voyage. Yet
wait-what takes its place? Sometimes
nothing. Poor modern child
Little Willie, you see. is taught that
ma'am" is decidedly bad form, don't
you know, a mode Of address only to
be used by servants, indeed, and SO
his youthship comes out with an
abrupt mo" or a brief "Yes," to old
ladies and playmates alike, an e1-
change observes.
The really correct thing for Willie
to be taught Is that the name or rela-
tionship Of the persons addressed must
be given in place of that socially os-
tracized "ma'am." He must say "Yes,
mother" or mo, father" Of he has
been taught not to use "sir'), or mo,
Mr.. Smith or Miss JONES'" as the case
may be.
The mentioning Of n persons name
when speaking to him or her Is always
a pleasant little mark of courtesy,
even from one older person to another,
and is charming to hear from child's
lips
