AMERICAN SOLDIERS
ARRIVE IN FRANCE
To Take Part in War Against
Germany--Given Mighty
Welcome.

An Associated Press from Wash
ington on Thursday says the advance
guard of the mighty army the United
States is preparing to send against
Germany is on French soil.
In defiance of the German subma-
rines, thousands of seasoned regulars
and marines, trained fighting men
with the tan of long service on the
Mexican border or in Haiti or Santo
Domingo still on their faces, have
been FASTENED overseas to fight beside
the French, the British, the Belgian,
the Russian, the Portuguese and the
Italian troops on the western front.
News of the safe arrival of the
troops sent new thrill through
Washington today. No formal an
nouncement came from the war de-
partment, but when Major General
Pershing's official report has been re-
ceived there may be a statement as
to the numbers and composition Of the
advance guard.
Press dispatches from France, pre-
sumably sent forward with the ap-
prevail of Gen. Pershing's staff, show
that Maj. Gen. Sibert, one of the new
major generals Of the army, COM
mands the first force sent abroad, I'M
der Gen. Pershing as commander in
chief Of the expedition.
One thing stands out sharply, de-
spite the fact that the size of the
task that has accomplished is not ful-
ly revealed as yet. This is that Am
erican enterprise has set a new rec
ord for the transportation Of troops.
Considering the distance to be cow
cred and the fact that all preparations
had to be made after the order came
from the White House the night of |
May Is, it is practically certain that !
never before has military eXpedi-
ton Of this size been assembled, con-
voyed and landed without mishap in
so short a time. 1t is a good augury
Of future achievements.
The navy bears its full share in the
achievement. From the time the
.roop ships left their docks and head
ID toward sea, responsibility for the
ives Of thousands of men rested up
N the officers and crews of the ships
hat moved besides them or swept free
he sea lanes before them. As they
'ushcd on toward where German sub .
marines lay in wait, every precaution ;
hat trained minds of the navy could
evise was taken.
The war department has no an
ouncement to make as to Gen. Per-
Kings disposition of his forces.
'resumably that has been left to him
o decide in conference with the
,rench general staff and with officials
f the British army. The American
roops will be an independent force,
cooperating with the allies. 1t has
cen suggested that the Americans
hght be placed between the French
nd British forces as a connecting
nix, but the exigencies of the plann-
1 campaigns will govern that cues
on.

CANTONMENTS
AND BOOZE.

Gen. Leonard Wood, the distir
guished commander of the Southeas
tern Department, spent Monday i
Jacksonville, where he inspected Ger
tain camp sites with the view of max
ing Jacksonville headquarters for on
of the sixteen army environments TO
the training of the new reserve arm,
of 100000 men to be raised by tn
selective draft.
In the evening Gen. Wood address
ed an immense throng of people il
Hemming Park, and among othel
things this direct speaking soldier
said:
81 came to inspect sites for
possible camp and have been
thoroughly over the ground. In
selecting these camps, it is done
with the single purpose that
the shall be the best possible
place to train the men who will
soon be on the fighting front in
northern France. The question
as to Jacksonville will probably
be settled in a few days. In
MAKING YOUR TERRITORY
DRY. YOU HAVE A MOST I'M
PORTANT ASSET FOR A
CAMP, as alcohol is a soldiers
worst enemy. as it destroys dis
cipline and efficiency. We must
throw every safeguard around
our troops. We must protect
their health and their morals,
and it is up to. you people to
help in every possible way. We
are now training our officers
who will command the men who
are to be called into the field
within the next few months.
We must see that these men are
given every chance. They are
going out to do your fighting,
and they have huge task before
them. When our casualty lists
begin to appear, then you will re-
alize what we are up against.
1t is necessary that we give our
men the best possible training,
and we must send them over
seas sound in body, as we'll as in
mind-because the fighting they
will have to do calls for strength,
courage and endurance"
The chances are that when these
words of Gen. Wood had soaked into
the minds of the business men of
Jacksonville who were present in
crowds to hear him, that they began
about the same time to realize that
he booze, for the personal liberty TO
sell which they have long been con-
is not such prerequisite
% prosperity as they have all along
Jacksonville may get this canton
nent, but under the circumstances it
ooks dubious.
Gen. Wood is right when he says
he government must "throw every
afeguard around the troops. We
must protect their health and their
norals."
The LIQUOR traffic is not only SOL :
ier's worst enemy. but it is the ;
yorst enemy of every civilian, of ev- :
ry municipality, of every state, of '
he nation. &
Senator Fletcher has worked hard +
nd faithfully to secure the loca- r
on of one of these cantonments in v
jacksonville. Is it possible that all
is work must go to naught Just be- q
luse the booze element in that city h

A POOR METHOD.

Monday morning The Muscular published a
short news item to the effect that two men promi-
nent in the cracker and flour business of the state
We're to organize company for the purpose Of
building and operating cracker factory at Ham
ilton The information came to the office by let
ter and received and reproduced in good faith.
1t developed the next day that this letter was not
authentic
If there had been anything very extraordinary.
about the organizing Of new company the matter
would have been investigated, but as it seemed
perfectly all right the item was published. We do
not know just why the Misrepresentation was made.
1t may be that some OF the competitors Of the two
men in question thought that they might gain
little in business way by circulating such a re-
port and thereby sign up few customers whose
trade being held by the personal equation
which counts for a great deal in the business
world. Just what the idea was is not known, but
1t is certain that whoever was responsible for the
letter is not exactly what one would call the high
est typc-partcularly II he hoped to gain business
in such manner.

SINCERITY IN TASTE.

(Mary Innes.l ~
The only sure way to cultivate taste is. ny tho
exercise Of a fearless sincerity. To easiopt tho
opinion Of another to what we feel OF ought to
feel is absurdity in terms Feeling is private
experience the pretense of feeling Is peculiarly
dangerous form of nntruth. The,honest perfectly
truthful beginner in the study Of pictures will like
and dislike with vengeance. hht 4 simple
biased leisurely readiness to acce what the painter
has to show will lead in time to growth Of in
sight. As our knowledge and receptvity increase
shall find that we grow less intolerant of the
things which at first we did not like. Our taste
will tend to become catholic.

STUDY YOUR MARKET
Close Watch on Prices Well
Repaid When Monthly
Bills Come.

About every once in So often, when
ever that may be, some hack writer
gets rid Of a, wheeze about the brides
difficulties and the mistakes she makes
in ordering from the grocer or the
butcher. The readers of the joke col
umn smile and pass on without ever
dreaming that the quips are often
based on actual incidents. Stories
similar to the one of the young bride
ordering kidney beans from the butcher,
are often not as far fetched as they
may appear. .,-. G.
Economy in ordering the daily or
weekly supplies is probably the biggest
opportunity in the household world.
More real hard money is wasted In
promiscuous ordering by inexperienced
or thoughtless housewives than in the,
accomplishment of any other household
task. 4 woman who will pay high
prices for fruits and vegetables out OF
season is worse than a woman with
a mania for the bargain counter or the
Decent store. A woman's first duty
to her household is to keep In touch
with market conditions in the country
at large and in her own town in par
ticular, n thing which is rarely done.
To take the grocer's. opinion on what
is best to buy and let it so at that is
unwisc 1t must always be remembered
that the grocer is in the business for
the purpose of selling things at a
In, nrIn tn G
some Of his more fastidious customers,
| he is Obliged to purchase job lots OF
perishable goods which are expensive
ion account of the carly season or
| scarcity. In order not to lose he must
put forth his best efforts to sell the
entire stock and he finds ready mar
ket with women who do not seem to
realize that if they wait a couple of
weeks they can enjoy the same fruit
or vegetable at half the price. A close
study of the market is big factor in
the economical selection of foods.
Supply and Demand. ,
The problem of what to do with left
over dishes would soon vanish If WON
demand would be exactly the same. An
old German cook in a fraternity house
in a big eastern university was once
asked by young woman who was just
starting in the business for suggestions
on how to order and arrange her meals
Her answer was simple.
II just finds out what the boys like
and then gives it to 'em," she said.
