Chicago.-"What could any army DO

discharged because Of injuries re-

Sergeant Kingsley answers his own
question.

who have gone over have more or less
adopted the attitude Of We'll. we're
sorry for you Trenches. but you
don't know how to fight. Now that
we've come over We'll show you a
thing or two.' OF course we that
have been born and reared In Amer
lea understand that attitude. War
Is so new to this great peaceful coun-
try that even after these years of the
struggle 1t is impossible for us to
realize how big a thing and how ter
rible a thing we are up against. We
are like a big overgrown boy trust
ing to his large muscle and cheerful
ness against prize fighter whose
methods he knows absolutely nothing
about, and therefore he cannot know
how strenuous an adversary he has
to underestimate his strength and to
patronize others who seek to caution
him against the fighter. The French
do not understand this at all and are
inclined to resent It. This. to my
mind. Is one Of the unfortunate facts
so far Of our going over and l be-
lieve our officials when they come to
realize. will try to eradicate the spirit
and put us on more Of 'comrade

Texas AVIATOR IN Warning
Depreeiates Patronlzlng Air OF Some
Americans New to War-6oasts
Offered Friends In France,
Who Understand.

Austin, Tex.-Sergt. II. Clyde Balls
ley Is the first Texan to return from
France as q hero of the flying service
Of the Lafayette Escadrille. of which
he is member. Young Balsley's
home Is In San Antonio. and he Is a
former student Of the University OF
Texas. He came to Austin few days
friends in the university to relate his
experiences. He Is home on con-
valescent leave. having just recovered
from wounds received when attacked
by q flock of German airmen. He fell
with his machine from height Of
1900 feet to an altitude Of 1000 feet.
when he managed 20 right his airplane
and land safely behind the French
lines. He spent three years in the
flying service.
Patriotism Must Be Aroused.
"Wake up. America I" should be the
slogan of the people Of the United
States, Sergeant Balsley said while
here. ut Is so terribly necessary
and right now-that the whole country
be filed with patriotism. 1t must
feel that on 1t. and 1t alone. rests the
outcome Of this war. Until that time
do not believe Americas best efforts
can be put forth. For while no one
I think, would want to take one iota
Of cheerfulness or happiness away
from our soldiers, still we who are al
the front-the allies and the French
feel that Americans are too cocksurt
too full Of braggadocio. Confidence
