To You, Young Man.

With sorrow and pride nation
watches you as you go to the polls
tomorrow and enter your name up
cn the lists Of those who may be
called upon to defend it.
Sorrow, that necessity should de-
rand that youth should be called up
on to defend the rights and privileges
which it believes inherent in the lives
Of men. Pride, that you and the man
beside you were born into the strength
OF freedom and righteousness that is
tie heritage Of every American.
In a sense, your privilege to de-
fend q cause so just, a humanity so
grossly wronged, is greater than thai
# any of the warriors Of history.
Men have fought for money, for cen
quest, for pillage and spoil, men have
fought for both right and wrong, hut
whenever has man been called upon
to defend civilization against dangers
which threaten its very existence?
istence?
You believe, do you not, that man
k1d should be free? You believe in
the moral and ethical considerations
that we, as a nation, and humanity,
IL all nations feel form the basis Ct
society? You would be no mans
slave, nor shall you permit humanity
to fall into the degradation Of inhu
r.anity.
You cannot seek to fathom the
depths Of destiny. In the grand, ire
1nendous order of things, each indi- +
vjdual seems but an atom in the
Scheme, and in this Scheme, young
man, you are now called upon to do
your share.
Mentally you may protest as you
sign your services to the cause Of the
nation, but, equally, does you nation
protest that such a thing should be
necessary, that " should be called
away from the decent pursuits Of life
and plunged into war. But in that
very protest, you, and your nation
ale voicing the cly Of humaaity-a
humanity that wants quiet peace and
the antle pursuits of life. Yours may
be the last blow that must need be
struck in the cause Of humanity.

AMERICAN FIELD HEADQUAR-
TIERS. FRANCE. oct. 27.-American
troops are in the front line trenches and
American artillery is behind them.
Official announcement Of this fact
was made in the following statement
from headquarters today:
In continuation of their training as
a nucleus for the instruction or later
continsents some battalions of our first
contingent in association with veteran
French battalions are in the first line
trenches of a quiet sector of the French
front.
They are supported by some bat
teries Of our artillery in association
with veteran French batteries.
The sector remains normal. Our men
have adapted themselves to actual
trench conditions IN a most satisfactory
manner"
With American Sammies fighting IN
the trenches side by side with French
poilus a red-headed artillery captain
and his husky gunners will share the
fame of firing the first shell sent py an
American battery in the light for
democracy.
The captain gave tho gunner a COM
mand-the gunner jerked the lanyard
and Americas 5 first shot against Ger
man autocracy screamed toward a Ger
man battery, It was at precisely six
O'Clock. The morning was a misty one.
The American infantry restlessly
waited during a certain day while the
American gunners were at their part of
the work. They remained in their bill
let's behind the lines until evening
Then they swung through the rain
swept muddy streets Of a tiny village
their shadowy forms disappearing down
the road toward the trenches.

shouted:

The silence fell-except for the
rumbling Of the rolling kitchen that
kept pace with the soft shuttle Of the
feet of the marching detachment.
The shell case OF the first shot fired
for America in the worlds greatest war
is enroute to President Wilson today.
Major General Sibert ordered that it be
preserved for him.
Just five civilians-all newspaper
correspondent - witnessed the first
American troop marching to the
trenches.
