"HAlL, HAIL" GREETS
YANKEES IN FRANCE

Gary, Ind.-"Hail, hail, the
gangs all herel"
Thousands of the 1918 edition
American tourists who are daily
arriving somewhere In France"
look up, joy in their faces and a
warm glow in their hearts, as
groups Of little French Riddles
sing this homely refrain as they
line the gangways.
According to a letter received
here recently early arrivals of
the American expeditionary
forces have taught this greeting
to the children, who pass it on
as each new contingent arrives.
"Hail. hail, the gangs all
here!"

Corn cutters are at work turnout
the district, getting in the wonderful
crop of this season. The fourth cut
ting Of hay is down on most ranches
and is one Of the best in years, due
to the fine weather we have been hav-
ing. Late apples are being harvested
and late potato digging is on and the
outlook is most encouraging for the
local growers.
A large crowd of Richland hunters:
|chaperoned by Harry Wheelhouse, the
local veteran authority. on the ways of
the elusive "Chink," left for a big hunt
Monday evening, so as to be on time
for the opening Of the season Tuesday
morning.
A large number of ladies attended
the tea at the home of Mrs. C. S.
Teachout Wednesday afternoon. The
musical program was most enjoyable
and the Aid treasury received nice
little sum as the result of the enter
tainment.
Earl Jones and Wayne Mowery left
the latter part Of the week for Will
lamette to enter. the army training
school. Both boys are well known
hereabouts and everybody is wishing
them well.
A large crowd of people went to
Kennewick to examine the trophies
on exhibition in the war train Tuesday
evening. The small boy was decidedly
in evidence and if his remarks on the
ultimate end of the Hun and all that
pertains to him will help to hurry the
end of the war Kaiser Bill better take
to cover in a hurry. The boys were
most deeply interested in the exhibit
and even if it does not help much to
sell Liberty Bonds it is certainly a
wonderful thing for the children in
small towns like this to have chance
to see for themselves these relics which
have actually been secured on the bat
tlefelds in far-off France. 1t brings
the war close to the very ones who will
have to guard the future of this great
country of ours after the boys who are
now fighting our battles have passed
on to their well earned reward.
M. H. Spangler and family of Sc
attic, who have purchased the old Per-
ry place in the Fruitvale district, as
well as ten acres of raw land adjoin-
ing, arrived in Richland Sunday to
make their future home. They made
the trip in a large wagon from the
Coast in nine days. st i
Lars ]. Swanson and wife, of Seat
tie, who have just purchased ten acres
in Section fourteen, arrived in Rich
land Monday to make their home.
There being no house on their land
they are at present occupying the Ole
Halgren bungalow and will immediate
ly build a home and improve their
tract.
Orville Fisher, who now makes Mos
COW, Idaho, his home, spent a few

GERMANS CRY ENOUGH 7
Relish Bombing of London, But
Explosives in Own Cities
Regarded as Outrageous.

London, Aug 10 One of the most
significant features Of the aerial bombing
offensive ot the British Is the loud response
it has ellclte from the German people
say British newspapers
The bombing of England brought no
complaint but only renewed resolution
from the British people Yet Germany,
suffering from the first prelmlnar pangs
Of the British attacks, at once began TO
cry out against 1t, and protest upon pro
test Is pouring INTO the German authon-
ties from the popuIaee OF the different
areas attacked.
This means that the British bombing
offensive Is effective, that aT-Teachlng
destruction has been caused % railway
functions and factories and that the Ger
man claim that BntIs raids have ac-
complishcd not ing serious have been
untrue.
Details Of the damage caused by the
British raids can easily be suppressed by
the German censorship, but the voice OF
the German people cannot permanently
he stifled, and it is asserted there Is abund-
ant Photographic and captured docu-
mentar evidence that their fears are based
