hammering the German lines in Elan

by both the British and the French
on a seven-mile front, taking in West

British troops last night finished the
task of driving the Germans from
Westboek and likewise cleared them
from the lines they still we're clinging
onto, the ridge near the town.
This forward movement gives Field
Marshal Haig a better grip on the

in the period preceding the initial at

importance. ~s& &C.,.
Not only in Belgium. but along
stretches of the Arras battle front
there are evidence of activity by the

Declares Women Have Same Right
to Fight as Men and Believes
Many Will Follow Her Example

New York, Aug. 1O.-An American
girl is going to Russia to join the
Russiar women's "Regiment OF
Death"
She is Frances Clifford, 21, an artist
we'll known among New York's colony
of writer's and painters.
She met me at the top of the two
flights Of stairs over the stable in
Greenwish village, where she has her
studio 1t was very hot, and the odor
of horses as we'll as art permeated the
atmosphere. She is small blond
girl, with great D!ue eyes that look in
to yours so earnestly that you feel she
has thought a great deal on the sub
ject of how she should do her bit in
making the world safe for peace, as
she insists
She had evidently just moved into
this studio, and we sat among the
debris of household furniture and
talked over the Russian situation, of
which she has evidently been a deep
student.
"Why do you want to 90 to Rus
sia to fi0ht?" ! asked.
BECAUSE" she answered, ~
shall be fighting for peace, and ui-
innate peace will come through
Russia. BY fighting by the side Of
those brave women shall be
fighting not to mako the world
safe for democracy, as 1t is called,
but to make the world safe for
PEACE"
do you think woman's place is in
the fighting line?" asked.
"Why not?" she answered. "Shall
not women as well as men make the
world safe for the children that come
after?
"That is just the point. What will
be the effect on their children if wont
en- take an active part in war;"
"None," she said Before and aft
er bearing children, a woman is capa-
BILE of military duty. Women have
demonstrated they can endure physi-
cal hardships as we'll as men. They
are quite as brave when facing any
danger of the body or SOUL"
why don't you try to go in some
capacity e, American" asked
because l do not consider America
is helping the coming of peace: to me.
the only way that peace can come is
through Russia"
As she said this, her great blue
eyes became suffused with tears, but
they did not fall 1t was then asked
her. how old she was. And she an.
swered:
"Twenty-one"
aren't you rather young to decide
this question for yourself in this
way"
She looked at me in surprise.
"The American army, she said, is
taking many boys of II, 1S and 10,
and they begin to draft them at 21. It
has been always said that girl is
older at that age than boy. 1t seems

Governor Cats has decapitated
several more sheriffs. Uneasy beats
the breast that bears badge.-De-
Land News.
Sheriffs are fair game for Cats. If
one arrests Cats friends, he can be
put out; if he doesn't arrest Cats
enemies, he can be put out; if he
doesn't arrest anybody, he can be put
out. Cats can catch them a-comin
and a-gwine, and the people will
have to pay the bill if the Senate
puts them in office again.

OF course, we believe in an editor
having day off occasionally, but we
seriously resent turning to the edi-
torial page of the 0cala Star only to
find it occupied with a three-column
report of the Council of National

Everybody in Ocala said it was the
best editorial page we have had in
six months. We didn't have any day
off, either. We did some real work,
so some of the other boys could have

The following was not written by
a Catholic, but by that good Protest
ant member of dyed-in-the-wool
Protestant family, also independent
journalist, VIM. A. Russell of the Pa
latka News:
"Gov. Cats told his audience in the
Duval county armory last Saturday
night that "the greatest menace the
country has to face today is the
Catholic church" He's off. The great
est menace in this part of the coun-
try is Cats and men of his ilk, men
who rise to power by catering to ig-
norance and prejudice. The Catholic
church SENS to be going along wor-
Shipping God according to the die
tates of its churchly conscience and
sending its full quota of soldiers to
the front to fight for those principles
of liberty and justice among men for
which this country stands and for
which American representatives of
that church had a mighty voice in
framing. The church has been with
us from the foundation and except
for here and there crank of fy-by-
night politician, no one has been able
Ia see anything in it having the APP
pearance of a menace. True it has
been consigning few of our nom
believing citizens to hell, but in this
respect it is doubtful if it can beat
any of the other church organiza-
tions. Some of them undoubtedly de-
served transportation to the pit, but

There has developed in Mexico a
strong sentiment in favor of joining
the United States and Allies against
Germany. The movement, however, is
not likely to prevail, as the military
caste, which is in control, seems
mostly pro-German. The trouble is
that the weak and wavering policy
pursued by the United States toward
Mexico for the last five years has
thoroughly convinced the soldiers and
poems of Mexico that this is an i'm
potent and cowardly nation. The bet
ter class of people know different, but
they are not running things in Mexico.

 Those who will cooperate in the recruiting and use of this schoolboy volunteer agricultural force include high and private school principals and headmasters, supervising agents town clerks. chambers of commerce, county agents and other individuals and orr ganizations.
 How Agencies win Help.
 The school authorities will put the plan before their pupils and explain the necessity for their help, receive enrollments, with certificates of par ents' consent, administer the oath of allegiance to those who enroll, serve as local bureaus to receive farmers applications for help, send lists of boys available to county agents and act as local agents of the state food supply committee, sending to the headuuarters at Hartford duplicates of all enlistments.
 The town clerks will co-operats with all other agencies in this work. receiving applications for help and furnishing lists of farmers who need labor to the proper persons in their communities. In cities, the cham-, bers of commerce or other agenciesv designated by the mayors will do the work taken up in the towns by the town clerks.
 The county farm bureaus will bring to the attention of the farmers the fact that this labor supply is being made available, will receive reports. from the principals of boys enrolled and not assigned to work. and will supervise the distribution of com- munities' surplus workers, keeping records of what is done and reporting to the state committee. If there is a surplus of this labor in some counties, an adjustment will be made through the farm bureaus.
 Besides receiving pay from the farmers for whom they work. the boys who enroll in this Connecticut Junior Agricultural Volunteers branch of the Boys Working Reserve, U. s. A., will receive suitable recognition from both the state and federal gov ernments
