AMERICANS WITH FRENCH

Secretary Baker said today he had no reason to believe the first corps was opera ting IS unit, the indications being rather that it's division were be- ing employed in French corps Simi- larly, divisions from other American corps are under French corps comman- ders and operating as units of the French corps. while at other points American brigades or even regiments form parts of French divisional or bri- gade units
 This arrangement makes it impos- sible to gauge accurately the extent of American participation.
 High military officials did not ex- pect tonight to be able to form deh- nite conclusions as to the whole course of the great battle or the direction in which it probably would develop be- fore another day or two had passed The extent to which the check of the first day may have upset the enemys calculations could not be gauged by the meagre account received today that gave no specific information of a niil- itary character.

Advices from Generals Pershing and Bliss covering yesterdays operations a statement from the war department today that the situation was regarded as satisfactory by the American commanders at the end of the first day of the first great battle of the war in which American troops have been engaged.
 SITUATION ENCOURAGING
 On the comparatively limited part of the battle front held by the Ameri- cans between Chateau Thierry and the Jaulgonne region. tonight's advices in- dicated the enemy had been busted from majority of the points where his initial drive had made headway across the river The situation ap- pears most encouraging here.
 Further east however, where the Germans appear to have occupied considerable amount of territory south of the Marne, the enemy was still in force and the French, with American aid, were gradually beating him back toward the river. American reinforce ments were also reported as arriving and setting into the fighting line even fuI ther east toward Rheims.

A Boy With a Good Heart Has Gone
to Rest; One of His Friends Point
Out Good Qualities.
(By ThOs. J. Rfckman)

In rectnt years We hear, quite of
ten, the expression af a man dying and
leaving this world, with the harness
still on" and if this be a credible
thing to do, then certainly that Hen
derson county youth, Carl Leverett,
as We call him, went out from here
with his working clothes on.
How wildly this writer remembers
only a few days ago meeting up with
this dear young friend at the Patton
Avenue, Crystal Cafe, where we both
took our MONDAY lunch. Carl was
much younger than this writer, but
we were friends and even may be
called chums, and our last greetings
were, Carl, Old Boy, how are you
today and the prompt response
came, "I am all right-feeling just
fine today" We presume Carl was a
regular member and attendant at
church with his father an mother.
but whether he was or not. Carl was

have his way, but the nearer this
scribe comes to the end, the less he
fears the presence of his loving
Maker. /.
Whatever destiny the Creator had
for Carl, he is in, safe keeping and of
course he had faults. Who has not?
Yet Carl loved his Savior, the great
Teacher and he loved his Heavenly
Father and meant none of the faults
to which the flesh is heir, to be
against his God. Carts death should
be counted a happy one, he took care
of himself, up to the very last step
brave heart-no trouble to his loving
parents, in their declining days-but
Notwithstanding his great af1ictfon,
he braved life and he braved death.
Carl Leverett was a hero through
this Iife-he gave his friends but lit
tie trouble, considering he was a sick
man in his last days for he might
have gone>t to- his father and/mother
and said to them, you must take care
of me now, I can do no more" These
parents may think it a sad thing. that
they could not and did not have the
opportunity to look in the face of.
their dying boy as he drew his last
struggling breath, but was not at all
necessary, for brave Carl wanted to.
French Broad hustler. [volume] (Hendersonville, N.C.) 1916-1919, 1918-03-21

just as he said at that Cafe-he was
all right. We did not say to- Carl
How is your souls salvation" but
we said "how are you, and that meant
a great deal more for Carl. The
question was asked in a manner to
show the writer loved him and he
knew what it meant and responded
in a manner to show he returned that
love.
Leaving this world is the saddest
thing in our pathway, for we know
nothing of the beyond, so far as act
ual experience is concerned and some
times fathers and mothers grieve for
their boys, lest it may not be well
with them beyond. We trust the par
ents of Carl will entertain no such
thoughts, in regard to their departed
boy. Can any man make this writer
believe that a boy like this, walked
right up to the jaws of death, in the
discharge Of his duties, the last words.
ever uttered being a kindly and loving
salute to his fellow companion, will
not be taken care Of, by-that Great
Loving father of the universe, with

us all. Let the teacher of doctrines
