no indication OF yielding to this demand,

THE early completion OF waterwoTks
system for Shepherdstowu now being
assured, the necessity for sewerage
becomes pressing matter Apparently
au act OF the Legislature is necessary in
order to enable the town to do this work.
and as The Legislature meets next week,
action should be taken at once unless the
matter is TO be delayed for two years
longer. Shepherdstown is fortunate in
being so :ituated geographically that a
satisfactory system can be installed very
economically. Practically every street
has down grade toward The river, and
we have the advantage OF being able to
connect with the State sewer at saving
Of a couple of thousand dollars.
We suggest that Mayor Martin take the
lead in this matter and possibly call a
public meeting 10 consider the subject, il
the town officials should so desire.
Prompt action is necessary, as the Legis-
lature meets only every two years, and it
we fail 10 get bill through at this session
il will be a long time until We have an
other opportunity.

Grant was given chief control Of af-
fairs relating to reconstruction of the

When Grant entered the White

the understanding that both these IT,

no increase in rank, and he seemed To
feel this rather keenly. When In 1889

u. 8. Officers Heroes
In Eyes Of the French

Recent dispatches from France tell
that German prisoners are disguised
with the action Of their officers. whom
they charge with holding back and re-
fusing TO expose themselves to the
risks Of war. Apparently, our officers
are not adopting these Teutonic tactics.
On the contrary. it appears that the
whole exneditionary army has been
tremendously worked up and stinn-
lated over a story Of headlong daring
in which three American generals fig
IRE. Tho first news Of this TO reach
this country appears in a letter re-
Gently received by Julian Street of The
Vigilantes. It is from an American col
lege boy serving in France, and reads
US follows:
1.-THE American soldiers over here
have been gaining In impressiveness.
We are all proud Of them. There Is a
story going around. and hear it from
officers who say that they were pres
cnt. that three of our newly appointed
generals who were invited to witness
the recent French attack north of Yer
dun, asked Ii they might make the at
tack. So. instead of standing back on
the Hill. they went up and over with
the French soldiers. At any rate the
story gained credence and the allies
troops have gone wild about 1t. 1t has
raised wonderful confidence in our
whole army.
THE attack itself was a marvellous
thing The strength and the spirit of
the French troops was surprise to all
of MS. even here. where we know them
SO well. They went forward so fast
that they had to stop to wait for their
| own barrage to advance ahead of
them. The artillery preparation. which
had been going on for fonr days. was
perfect. More and more the allies are
! using up shells in place of men. The
! number of French lost was almost un-
believably small. There were two
harage fires. by the way. one to pro-
tect the infantry advance and one be-
! hind the German lines. which accounts
in some measure for the great number
Of German prisoners taken. But the
Boches are willing prisoners. One hun

"Petain repudiates the great often
sive idea. series Of short. quick jabs
all along the line is what he pins his
faith on. with the English advance in
Flanders and with the surprise Of the
italian attack. II seems to be working
splendidly. At any rate. Franco was
never before in such state OF hope
and confidence"

WILHELM. WE ARE THERE.

The battle front At last our boys

when we remember that the war

The red haired gunner We
want to know where he came
from. We want his name so that
We may catalogue him in the hall
Of fame for 1917. We would like
TO know that he bears a German
name. though We suspect from
the color OF his hair that it is
Irish. At any rate he is an Amer
