IN ARMS NOW
NUMBER OVER
3 MILLION
Little Chance of Establishing
Offensive on Eastern Front
Because of Men Needed,
March Says in Conference.
1,45o,ooo IN FRANCE
tBy A. ISOLATED Pressj

WASHINGTON, Aug. 17-General
March at his conference today With
the senate military committee told the
senators that the American army now
under arms numbered slightly more
than million men with 1,450,00O men
in France or on the way and approx
mately 1,550,000 in cantonments at
home.
Senators also we're informed that
the Russian situation is very bad be-
cause of the general complexity OF ar
fairs there They were given to
understand that there was not much
chance of establishing real offensive
, on the eastern front because of the
great number of men that would be
! required.
! In his talk to newspaper correspond
ents General March said the 1,l50,00t
men embarked for foreign service in
| cluded those sent to Italy and Siberia
as we'll as France.
| No Evidence Of Mistreatment.
! He said official reports through the
! Spanish embass give no evidence
! that American prisoners in Germany
are singled out for mistreatment as
has been reported. Very detailed re
ports included the daily menace are
received and show that the question
of the treatment Of prisoners has
! largely become standardized.
Discussing the battle situation In
France the chief of staff drew atten
ton to the fact that the Germans have
now voluntarily surrendered portions
of their line at four different places
He placed no construction of his OWL
on this, but it was taken as an lndi
cation Of an expected further with
! drawal by the enemy. In genera
! way the lines generally are stabilized
on a front closely following 1916-191i
positions in Picardy and along thu
Aisne-Vesle line to the south.
/, Speaking of the American program
/ General March said 1t is proposed tt
put 80 divisions into France by July

brunette wore this, and in her straight
smooth couture she deftly perched a
dull questioned ornament. A perfect
delight to look at, this creature of
beauty.
This henna color has proved a fav.
orite with the most discerning cos
tuners, and its future seems sure,
for so far its sales are such as to
suggest its popularity. 1t is a pretty
shade, a bit trying for one whose
complexion is not clear, but altogether
il casts a nice shade over the face
and softens the lines of the features.
Over this frock the manequin wore
a broadtail coat trimmed with Bel
gian hare. A sumptuous supply of
this fur was in evidence, and the coat
was trimmed in the most interesting
fashion. The collar was a tricky lit
tie affair and swirled around twice
before it decided to stop and fasten
itself high up, covering all of my
lays chin, and just permitting one
ruby lip to be seen.

of a constitutional amendment. Sub
seuuent events showed the wisdom of
the suggestion. The president was
finally forced to go to the full length
in trying to get the senate to vote
in favor of the amendment, but his
speech changed not a single vote.
And it should not have changed a
vote. He is not a dictator. He has
no legal nor moral right to tell any
man how to vote either in or out of
congress. If the suffragists had sue
ceeded in their effort, and had Sc
cured the submission of the amend
ment through the instrumentality of
the president, great injury would
have been done to popular govern
ment. We would have seemingly es-
tablished dictatorship over legislation
and every one who wanted something
from congress would go to the presi-
dent for it, until congress would just
gradually fall into the habit of get
ting its orders from the white house.
While equal suffrage is fundamental
" right, and will ultimately prevail,
it was fortunate for the country and
for the suffragists themselves that
the president failed in his effort to
cast the ballots of the senators. Uf
what value would it be TO the women

For seasons this color has been the

it that seems to creep right straight

tute. To see it with touch of beaver

THE WAY, THE TRUTH AND THE
LIFE,

AS we are having an epidemic and
conditions are such that no public
meetings of any kind are being held,
and we are asked to remain at home
as much as possible; let me call your
attention to One who can and will
help us at this time-God loves you.
There is a cause for this and we
can with the Lords help, remove it.
First get right with God and man,
make wrongs right and then live the
clean pure life; then call on the Lord
for deliverance.
My dear friend if you have not re-
cognized Gods claim on you in any
way, will you not, stopl look! and
listen! Stop and consider your path,
whittier are you going?
John 14:6-"Jesus saith, I am the
way, the truth and the life; no man
cometh unto the Father, but by Me- -
Look to the true friend of man. As
Moses lifted up the brazen serpent
in the wilderness and all that looked
upon it were healed; even so today
there is help in the One that was
crucified on the cross for you. Yes
look to Him with true faith and re-
pentance. John 9:14-15. And as
Moses lifted up the serpent in the
wilderness, even so must the Son of
man be lifted up; that whatsoever be
lieveth in Him should not perish, but
have eternal life"
Listen to what He says and He
will guide you in the right way.
Matt 11:2S-30-"Come unto Me all
We that labor and are heavy laden,
and will give you rest. Take My
yoke upon you and learn of me; for
I am meek and lowly in heart, and
We shall find rest unto your souls.
For my yoke is easy, and my burden
is light"
May I ask the praying people to
intercede in behalf of the sick and
sorrowing of our community. My
daily prayer is that the Lord will
heal and help the suffering every
where, by helping the doctors and
nurses.
I beg to remain your friend,

Mr.. POOLS record in the legislature
as well as his record in private life
show him to be right on moral issues,
conservative yet energetic in business,
always fair and ready to recognize
the rights of all classes of citizens.
His record is one of conservative and
proper expenditure, not extravaganza
and waste of public moneys, of sue
cess in business affairs and not fail
ure, of reduction of taxation and saw
ing to the taxpayer and not reckless
disregard of the taxpayers rights.
He is producer and a friend of the
producer, an is not the representa-
tive of any organization, clique, or
body of men whose interests are an
tagonistic and opposed to those of
the producer.
This time of war is not a time for
politics, nor a time to urge men for
office from political motives, but it
is proper time to keep men in of
flee who have given faithful and able
service, and for that reason we urge
the reelection of S. o. Pool for a
second term in the legislature. The
man is not seeking the office, the of
flee is seeking the man.

CIVIL WAR BUNGLING MUST BE
AVOIDED.

Turning to Woodrow Wilson's His
tory of the American People, it is in
teresting to note the strong disap-
proval in dealing with the facts that
the civil war ended without any ap-
parent preparations for reconstruc-
ton. When the Confederacy sur
rendered Washington had no plans to
meet the new conditions. President
Johnson was evidently bent upon a
program of generous treatment of
the Southern people, but was met by
a congress evidently determined to
crack the lash over the naked backs
of the vanquished. 1t took Years to
solve problems that should have been
dispassionately discussed and deter
mined before the surrender of the
Confederacy. The people of the world
have learned new lessons since 1865,
and on this basis congress proposes
to solve the questions ahead of it
while the war is still going on.
And in the meeting of these prob
lens the interests are bound to be so
conflicting, and the ideas so various
that the public is likley to wonder
whether there is not a new war on
hand. The fantastic dream of public
ownership of all sorts of devices, run
ming down the line to include many
forms of manufacturing and agricul-
ture, are already being suggested, and
a good many ambitious politicians are
going to enlist along those lines in
the hope that they may ride on a new
band wagon.
