ARMY BEHIND LINES
BUSY CLEANING UP
WARS DESTRUCTION

While soldiers of the active army
in France are engaged all along the
front attacking the Germans or de-
Tending the French positions, their
''poor relations" composing the troops
of the second line are kept busy re-
moving traces of the destruction which
marks the ertreat of the Germans in
March.
Dozens of bridges over rivers and
canals, as well as many locks, which
held back the waters of the canals,
were blown up by the Germans as
they hurriedly retired.
The correspondent was present at
the removal of one of these broken
br dyes. 1t had fallen in a piece of
steel and concrete twenty yards in
length and six in breadth, weighing
eighty tons, and lay athwart the
stream, almost from one bank to tae
other The company of engineers or
dered to do the work had to content
itself with very primitive tools as no
modern apparatus was available, all
being employed in the munition fac
tories. The most powerful crane at
their disposal could lift only twenty
tons, and blocks, pulleys and winches
were. of even less strength.
1t was, therefore, necessary to cut
the great blocks lying under water in
to smaller fragments. This was done
by laying ia charge of dynamite and
mel mite along it's entire length in the:
center. A diver plunged in and weight
ed the charge, which was attached to
a rope with heavy stones at intervals
Then a copper wire connected with
a. tiny portable electric battery was
attached to the end of the charge.
The few men engaged then withdre "
to ia safe distance, the current was
switched on, and in second water
spout, fifty yards in height, told the
work of lifting the destroyed bridge
had been accomplished. The visit of
a diver showed the blocks had been
split accurately in two pieces and that
the conclusion had separated all the
concrete, so that each portion weighed
twenty tons, just within the capacity
of the apparatus at hand. In a few
hours the whole mass was on the side
of the river and the current had a free
course. On some occasions these men
have to do their work under fire Of the
enemy's guns. #

GOLLnAR SHOW
DRAWS CROWD
At PORTAGE

The Patterson-Golimar shows played
to more than $500 people at each of
it's performances on the fair grounds

US, WITH ALLIES
BAN|SHES SWORDS

The tradit onal sword will not clank
at the heels Of American army officers
in France. This is the first time in
American history the officers sword
has been. abandoned in battle.
The French and British banned
swords for their officers during the
first year Of the war America, now
in, follows suit by official order Of the
war department. The reason is SIM
pie and sufficient.
During the first year Of the war the
French and British officers were easily
distinguishable from the men by their
swords, uniforms and insignia, and
the Boche sharpshooters concentrated
their fire on them with deadly effect.
The idea ever since has BEEN to
make commanding officers look as
much like enlisted men as possible.
If you happened along the front in
France and met General Halg, COM
mander-in-chief Of the British field
forces, you couldn't tell him from a
private until you got close enough to
shake hands with him.
The insignia of the French, British
and American officers on the western
front now cannot be seen farther away
than the whites of their eyes. They
wear the same service uniforms and
carry the same arms as the enlisted
men Of their commands.
The war department has employed
experts to devise cloth colors and but
ton and insignia material to make the
troops as invisible as possible. The
insignae on an officers coat are small
bronze, dull silver or gold devices
which cannot be seen across the
street.
The only difference between the in
signae on the collar of an officer and
on that of an enlisted man is that the
enlisted mems letters are on disc
while the officers are on 2 straight
line and separated.
| Regular army irI ignae on the collar
are ~. S. A." and on the reserves ~

were stopped and searched and a cons
siderable supply of strong drinks hid

Others were private machines driven
by persons who apparently wanted to
be friendly to the soldiers. The num-
bers of the care were taken, and the
haul may be followed by formal in
vestigation. -
Military authorities are determined
to enforce the dry rule to the letter.

SANITATION PROBE
At CAMP DOUGLAS

Major James r. Scott, who succeeds
Colonel Gilbert E. Seaman as camp
surgeon at Camp Douglas, has asked
the state board Of health to station
men there while the guardsmen are
in camp. One Of the representatives
of the board Of health is on the ground
and the fur is flying.
On Friday he made an unannounced
and whir1wind inspection of sanitary
conditions in the village of Camp
Douglas, with the result that the pro-
prietor of one place where soldiers eat
finds himself minus many plates, cups
and saucers and considerable glass
ware not considered suitable. for
use. These articles were taken out in
an alley and smashed.
Kitchens and dining halls were
closely inspected and there was gen
eral scrubbing bee in places where
sanitary conditions were not consid-
cred satisfactory.
1< Village Not Careless
This does not mean, however, that
the village is careless. In a general
way public officials and private indi-
viduals are cooperating with the mil
.itary authorities to keep things clean,
and there is no ground for serious
complaint In the rush of business a
few places have fallen below the
standard established since the soldiers
came, but wherever indifference or
carelessness was noted, it has been
corrected.
representative Of the board of
health will continue to inspect arti-
scles sold on the reservation and from
time to time they will visit nearby
cities with views to maintaining pur-
ity zone many miles around camp.
One milk dealer has been told that
he cannot deliver any more milk to
the men in camp because it was found
that the product he distributed was
not clean.

American Red Cross had to be neutral,
whereas the various relief organiza-

With our entry into the war, the Red
Cross became free to exert itself in
any way which, within the scope of
its general activities, might aid our
allies and allied peoples.
"We earnestly hope that no one will
feel that the Red Cross desires to do
anything but help. The Red Cross
is an American institution, chartered

YOUTH MIKES TALE.
AND EXHAUSTS THE
COURTS PATIENCE

James Wilson, a youth who first
claimed he was from Pennsylvania
and an orphan, was yesterday ar
raigned before the court of record on
a charge of stealing a motorcycle,
and was sentenced by Judge c. NJ.
Jones to one year in the industrial
school for boys at Mariana.
In the hearing yesterday, he
changed his original stor,-, which at
first appeared to soften the heart of
Judge Jones, saying that his parents
resided in Ohio, and disclairned resi-,
dence in Pennsylvania He also re-
pudiated the former statement that
he was an orphan. The court in
formed the youth that he had falsi-
fled in the former statement and
intimated he had proven himself un-
worthy of belief now.
Wilson, some few weeks ago, was
arraigned in court and on account of
his youthful appearance and the story
he put up then, was given the privi-
lege of going under suspension of
sentence. He was free only a few
hours before he had taken another
party's motorcycle, riding it to a
point north of the city where the ma
chine stopped because of some imper-
fection, and he said he was unable to
start it. The officers believed that
if the machine had not thus stopped,
the boy would have continued to ride
