WITH THE AMERICAN ARMY IN
FRANCE, December Sit was gala
day with the American engineers
operating behind the French lines
when the first American locomotive
was received and put Into service last
week
To the trainmen it seemed like the
arrival Of a long-lost brother. Every
person in the camp within sound OF
the front line guns turned out to Join
the welcoming cheer. 1t is in striking
contrast with the open cab French
locomotives which the regiment has
been operating since they took over
the line.
Just as soon as steam was got up
the whistle was blown and the old
familiar tune was the sweetest sound
the Americans had heard in months.
They slapped each others backs and
jumped with enthusiasm. The tones OF
a locomotives bell had never seemed
particularly musical before that, and
further enthusiasm broke forth when
1t started rapid tattoo in the familiar
clang.
The ringing of the bell had surpris-
ing results French locomotives back
of the trenches are without bells
These are used to signal an aeroplane
back to warn everybody to seek their
dugouts. There was wild excitement
among several thousand French troops
In the camp who, not knowing of the
demonstration over the locomotive,
dove for the bomb proofs thinking that
a German aeroplane had been sighted.
The bell will be taken off, or every
time a locomotive passes the soldiers

For the sake of variety the Germans

the visitors accomplished was to leave
our fellows a lot of souvenirs in shape

after the f1iers had been driven back.
THE proudest men in that camp to-
day are the engineer and fireman who
were given the American engine. There
is considerable rivalry among the
others as to which are to have the

for the reformation of the prison.
He must return to society again
at the end of his term, and he
should be prepared for it. Too
often a term in prison only makes
the criminal more anti-social and
less able to live inside the law
when he is released.
Work on the public highways

the air of freedom unhampered by
prison restrictions, builds up the
moral character of the convicts and

Two years ago, when a state
bond issue for the construction of
an Illinois highway system was
suggested, the people refused to
take it seriously. A great deal
has been accomplished since that
time, however, and the proposal
of the Illinois Highway Improve
ment Association at Danville this
week, that the state shall issue
100000 in bonds for road build.
ing is not an impossible one.
Many counties are coming to the
conclusion that it is better to issue
bonds for the construction of coun-
ty highway systems than to spend
twenty years building roads under
the state-aid aid act. Vermillion
county is completing a system
which cost 81 100000, and the peo-
pie are delighted with it. Other
counties have voted to follow this
example.
If this is good for counties, it al
so would be good for the state.
Sixty million dollars would build
1000 miles of hard road, connect
ing practically all cities of 1000
population. The tax for the interest
and liquidation of the issue would
extend over a period of twenty
years and would amount to only
four and one-half cents an acre.
This would not be burdensome.
Such a system would place Hi.
nois In the front rank in highway
improvement.

Some time ago we called atten-
ton to alarming conditions prevail
ent on +. Washington ST., in the
section lying between Sth and 18th,
especially. As a lover of our race,
we appeal for better order. 1t is
the duty of the business men to
protest against such disorder, and
insist upon the colored officers
discipling this district, just as the
other downtown districts are dis
ciplined. Profanity, boisterousness,
and side-walk blocking are mex
cusable, though frequent, occurr-
ences. If necessary, we will ask
Chief Morris to instruct the pat
rolmen to give us order. We love
liberty and privileges, but the lie
ence displayed in, and around, The
Pekin, and the adjoining confec-
tionaries, is intolerable. The pool
rooms end saloons could Danish a
portion of the clamor that assails
the ear of the passerby. With the
proper police surveillance, and a
permanent revival of the 8 O'Clock
eurfew law, for children under I6,
this matter can be speedily remed-
led. An ounce of prevention is the
way to avert tragic accident and
many aching hearts. Are we not
