TWO MILLION MEN.
SOON in FRANCE.

Washington, July 23.-Wi.a prob
ably not much more than quarter
of million American troops en3
gagged in the present, battle but with
virtually n million others either in
France or Fastening across the ocean
to join in the fight, General Foca
has been able to turn the tables on
the enemy and strike blow that
has changed the whole trend of the
war.
Officials here, while fully recogni-
zing the fact that tie Americans are
only comparative small part of the
is using in working out his strategic
designs, realize the fact that tho
American army, going forward in u
constantly increacing stream, is the
governing factor in restoring the in
itiative to the Allied forces. Plans
are therefore taking shape rapidly at
the War Department to accelerate
and enlarge the American military
program.
Two Million Soon.
1t is now virtually certain that
General Foch will have at least g.
100000 troops to supplement his
Allied armies before the present
season closes. Secretary Baker an
nOunceu CHc war departments new
program, embracing enlarged army
appropriations, modification of the
draft ages to increase the reserve of
fighting men and plans for larger
mobilization of the army than any
yet undertaken, would soon be ready
for Congress. He would give no de-
tails, but the plans probably aim at
getting under arms without delay
total force not far short of the 5000
600 figure widely discussed in Cong
ress when the subject was last under
consideration there.
The fighting in the Aisne salient,
where the whole German offensive
scheme is upset if not definitely de-
feated by the bold strategy of Gen
eral Foch, has opened new possibili-
ties. There is increased need for
haste, in the opinion of officials, in
getting full American manpower
ready to supplement the efforts that
appear now to be taking shape to-
ward hurting the enemy back all
along the front and beginning the
advance that will end only when
victory has been achieved.

led WITH HONOR.

The story of the death of Lieut..
Quentin Roosevelt has been confirm
ed by a dispatch recently received
from Germany, transmitted through
Switzerland. 1t follows:
"On Sunday, July IA, an American
squadron of twelve battle planes was
trying to break through the German
defense over the Marine. In the vio-
lent combat which ensucd with seven
German machines, one American avia-
tor stubbornly made repeated attacks
This eliminated in a duel between
him and German on-commissioned
officer, who after a short fight, sue
ceeded in getting good aim at his
brave inexperienced opponent, whose
machine fell after a few shots near
the village of Chambray, ten kilome-
tres north of the Marine.
ellis pocket case showed him to be
Lieutenant Quentin Roosevelt, Of the
Aviation section of the United States
army. The personal belongings of
the fallen airman are being carefully
kept with view of sending them la
ter to relatives. The earthly remains
of the brave young airman were bur-
led with military honors by German
airmen near Chambray at the spot
where he fell"

NOTICE

One chief source of road deteriora-
ton is the tendency of traffic to fol-
low constant line Of travel, which
wears and depresses the read erswn
along this line Of continuous use. The
entire road surface, including the
shoulders, at least in dry weather,
should be used with the view of avoid
ing as much as possible this objec-
tionable propensity. Thus will our
roads wear evenly, prevent to great
extent the inclination to drop in holen
or ruts, which obstruct proper drain
age and cause water to soak into the
road, greatly to its injury. We are all
aware how important and expensive
feature is the maintenance of our
good roads; lot US apply willingly,
therefore, since it is to our interest, II
for no other reason, one Of the reno
dies for their economical use.
Respectfully,
G. A. MARTIN,
County Read Engineer.

AFTER THE wAR-wHAT?

John E. Bruce, in the Cincinnati
Post.)
The matter of reconstruction in,
our country after this war is neces-
sarily receiving the attention of far
sighted people. We may, in theory,
build up sort of Utopia before our
millions of splendid boys, now men,
come back. But we must remem-
Der, they are going to have some
thing to say on their return and, to
a large extent, control matters.
Our boys are undergoing a remark
able evolution toward better things
better conditions in every walk of
life. Their main thought now is to
conquer the lying, thieving, licentious
numbering Huns. But, as the days
go by, their minds will turn to what
will be and should be the conditions
at home on their return.
We must, therefore, in all wisdom,
find out what their general position
will be. They will certainly come
home with the spirit of democracy
more than ever in their minds. In
my opinion whatever will benefit the
greatest number will receive their
hearty support.
In my Judgment if their interest
could be directed to agricultural pur-
suits and their efforts in this line en-
couraged in every way possible the
results would be wonderfully great
not only for themselves, but also toI
the world.
