"Go-Getter" Pershing.

The name, "Go-Getter' Pershing
according to a writer in The Satur
day Evening Post, suits Gen. Perish
ing better than any other. When he
steps into his car he says to the
driver: Lets go where we're going.
And there is swirling cloud of dust
What he thinks of the American sol
dier is summed up in portion of his
address, in Ell Paso:
'He is the best fighting man on
earth. He will march all day, dig all
night and sing at his work if he
thinks his officers are doing the same
thing. But if he is making a forced
march with a full kit and sees some
empty trucks passing, he can see nc
reason why he should not toss his
pack into truck. And l don't blame
him a Bit
Pershing is fine figure of a man
tall, straight and clean-cut. There
is not an ounce of superflous weight
in his six feet of dynamic body. He
walks with the easy swing of youth
though his close-cropped wavy hair is
gray. Were he twenty years younger
the girls would say he had a head
like a Greek gods, for his features
are finely chisled. But there is pow
er in every line of them.
Ones first impression of the gen
eral is sternness. Then he smiles
and the impression vanishes. The
cold appraising gleam he turned on
you changes to kindly twinkle and
you begin to warm to Black Jack.
But he has temper. You ought to
see him when something he has
planned goes wrong through the dis
obedience, carelessness or stupidity
of another. He can curl man to a
crisp about as neatly as you ever saw
il done.

OUR MEN IN GOOD QUARTERS.
Well Ventilated Building, Clean Beds,
and Other Conveniences.

Paris, July 3.-(DelayeO When
American troops arrived at their bar
racks they were greatly pleased by,
their assignment to quarters in five
story building, mainly constructed Of
stone. The French Government had
supplied individual beds with mat
tresses and a supply of bed linen. The
sleeping quarters take the three up
per stories and are lighted and we'll
ventilated. On the ground floor are
shower baths and wash rooms.
After arms were stacked and sup
plies properly stored the French SOL
diers at noon served an excellent
luncheon of roast beef and cold Bo-
logna sausage, baked potatoes, GU
cumber and lettuce salad, cream
cheese, bread and butter, coffee and
cherries and oranges for desert. The
French will supply all rations used
in the barracks.
Sightseeing Tour.
During the afternoon the Army
Young Mems Christian Association
took the soldiers on a sightseeing
tour through Paris. Leaves will not
be allowed the soldiers until after the
close of the Fourth Of July celebra-
tions, in which they will parade.
The soldiers will remain in bar
racks several days until the training
camps of instruction are ready. Their
barracks are located near the Place
De La Nation, with small detach-
ments of French soldiers occupying
smaller buildings grouped as a large
hollow square. The main building
has many conveniences for the troops,
including shower baths, writing and
recreation rooms, canteen, hoscital
and postofice. Officers headquarters
are in small building near the en-
trance. Allied flags are draped over
the doors and in the centre of the
hollow square is large parade and
exercise ground.
The American officers are greatly
pleased with their quarters and the
arrangements for the troops. Many
of the American troopers speak
enough French t6 get on with the
French troops and all fraternize
whether they understand the same
language or not.

and Mrs. ]. A. Wyman ushered them
into the parlor to greet the hostess

Asked to Economic on Stamps.

Postmaster Knight has received a
notice from the postoffice department
asking him to call the attention of
the postoffice patrons to the necessi-
ty for economiZing in the use of
postage stamps. 1t is custom gen.
orally to use one cent stamps when
two-cent stamps are not convenient
on letters. This, the department
says, should be discontinued. 1t
costs the government exactly twice
as much to print dollars worth OF
one-cent stamps as two-cent stamps,
and if the people generally should
discontinue the use of one-cent
stamps where the stamps of larger
denomination should be used, il
would mean the saving of perhaps
millions of dollars to the government
AS Bamberg has city delivery, and
consequently two-cent letter postage
there is no necessity for anyone pur-
chasing one-cent stamps except
for post cards and newspapers
and patrons are asked to re-
member this. Everybody must
do their BIT during this war
and while this may seem a small mat
ter when considered in individual
cases, it means a great deal when
considered generally.

The Evangelistic Tent Meetings.

That the evaugelistic meetings
now being held at the big tent are
satisfying a long felt want is eVideAc-
ed by the deep interest manifested
on the part of the people of Bam-
berg as they come from night to
night.
Some questions have come in OF
late asking the evangelist to explain
the difference of opinion that exists
in the churches in reference to the
Sabbath. He has been asked to
show from the Bible which day of
the week is supposed to be the Sab
bath. The question has also been
asked whether it makes any differ
ence what day is kept as long as it
is one of the seven.
Such questions cannot be answer
ed by a single statement, for there
are many opinions concerning them.
In the Christian world there are two
Sabbaths. During the past fifty
years this question has been pressing
itself with ever increasing urgency
upon the attention of Christian peo-
pie.
The great majority of Christians
have for centuries observed the first
day of the week, Sunday, and but
few have ever questioned the cor
rectness Of such observance. Now,
however, it's foundations are being
assailed and it is, therefore, neces-
sary for those who observe Sunday
to examine closely the platform up
on which they stand and become fa-
miliar with the reasons and author
ity for the Sunday institution.
It is rapidly becoming one of the
greatest religious questions Of the
day. Thousands and tens of thous-
ands of people, both in the church
and out of it, are troubled about it;
great religious gatherings are dis
cussing it; and it has gone outside
the church and has become a polit-
ical issue, for more appeals are being
made today for Sabbath legislation
than ever before in the history of
the country.
Mr.. Haynes has decided to consid-
er this question under the following
heads:
Thursday, July 5th, "The Place
of the Law of God in Society," Fri
day, July 9Th, "The Sabbath; is ii
Sunday?" Sunday, July 9Th, "Whc
Changed the Sabbath?''
The following nights Mr.. Haynes
will consider another great question
under the following heads:
Monday, July 9th, "Has Man an
Immortal Soul?" Tuesday, July 10TH
"Where are the Dead?" Wednesday
July 18th, "The Punishment of the
Wicked; is it to be Eternal Torment
or Eternal Destruction?" Thursday,
July 18th, "The Rich Man and Laza-
rus" "The Thief on the Cross" and
other texts considered" adv.

SHOE FOR FRENCH CITIZEN TO

Another piece of good news eman-
ates today from the ministry of COM
merce to the effect that Parisians will
soon be supplied with National Foot
gear" and National Cloth" for cloth
ing. This promises to be a real boon
for modest purses as shoe leather has
finally awaited to prohibitive prices
The average price for re-soling
pair of shoes is now ten francs
s2--which is more than double pre-
war tax. Men pay about $40 for
good pair of shoes and ladies must
pay about SIS if they want the mode.
The French national shoe will cost
about % francs or So. wear and
comfort will be guaranteed but style

continue on sale for those who waur
to pay the price.

The National Cloth" will be guar
anteed by the government of good
quality in various shades at a nomi
nal price. There will also probably
be some check on greedy tailors who
will attempt TO charge too much for
tailoring the national product.

PARIS, Aug. S.-France has aban-
doned her proposed CIVIL mobiliza-
tion, The new move is taken to mean
in many quarters that the Ribot gov.
ernment has the war situation so well
in hand that it will not be necessary
to draft French citizenry between
the ages of 16 and sixty for war
work. War work viii lremain volun-
tary in France.
The dark economic cloud accom-
panied by sinister rumors of a bad
winter to come following the fuel
shortage of 1861 has also been
shunted to an inconspicuous place on
the horizon. Paris has the word OF
the Prefect of the Department. of the
Seine that the great metropolis will
not feel the pinch of either hunger
or cold during the coming winter
This official announces that the coal
supply is assured and that food sun
plies will be pentiful. The conditions
which caused Parisiens to stand IN
line before food emporiums and coal
yards will be forestalled he declares
and thereby emphasizing that France
is suffering no great amount of wor-
ry over the ravages of German sub
marines.
