ARMY DIVISIONS.
/. Davenport Democrat

~
How many men in a divisionr Is a
question that is often asked by those
who are trying to figure the relative
strength OF the forces on the fghtrrs
line Ia France.
The answer depends upon what army
one Is inquiring about An authorita-
tive discussion OF the proposed new
American field army cites the fact that
as against the 10000 men OF German
division. or the somewhat larger num-
Der Of a French or British division. the
American division is more than 27,OUy
men strong. ~
The composition of our various army
corps announced some time ago shows
six divisions to q corps, or about 1O0.-
900 men. This Is FIVE times the size
OF the French or British army corps.
II now our first field amy Is to COM
prise five corps it would mean force
OF 100000 men. as compared with the
average "army" on the western front
OF two or three corps OF two or three d.
visions each, or from 10000 to 10000
men. In fact. our nrst field army"
would be numerically two or three
times as strong as the army groups" OF
Foch or Ludendorn.
Our first field army" really means
that, of the 100000 men we have ship
ped across. more than half are ready
for battle service and are In a position
to take up Longer stretches Of front
than we have hitherto occupied.

Billy Bunny and His Friends

| Well. after that, the little rabbit
hoped along. and by and by he came
to the old mill pond, where the swal-
lows darted here and there over the
water, catching the little insects as
they buzzed about. My, how fast
those pretty dark birds few! Their
long tails almost touched the water az
they skinned close to the surface
"Helloa, Mrs. Swallow" said thu
little rabbit. and then one Of the pretty
birds stopped and talked to him.
I never see you in the winter time /"
said the little rabbit.
"Of course you don't" replied Mrs
Swallow. WE go to Italy and Spain
and Africa when the cold weather,
comes. But In summer those countries
get too hot, SO we come back here"
And then she flew away to the old red
barn. So the little rabbit followed her,
and by and by, when he reached the
farmyafd, he saw her nest OF mud UNI
der the caves.
You don't make nest like Robbie

Now let me see. In the last story
Billy Bunny had a narrow escape from
the bad crocodile, or was 1t Mr.. Alliga-
tor? Well anyway, the little rabbit
was safe once more on land so Off he
hoped, lipperty lip clipperty clip, and
by and by he met little striped snake,
who coiled himself into a ring and lift
ed up his head. and then he looked at
Billy Bunny with his little bright eyes
and put out his red, forked tongue.
Goodness mel" thought the little
rabbit, lis he going to bite me?" But
he needn't have asked himself that
question for 1t was only q little Earden
snake, who never does any one any
harm Perhaps the little rabbit thought
1t was a rattlesnake or copperhead.
Tor they are poisonous, you know.
And then, all OF sudden. a small
frog hoped by and before YOU could
say Twinkle, twinkle, little star" the
snake began to swallow him. First he
swallowed his toes and then his legs
and then pretty soon you could only see
Mr. .Froggie's head sticking out Of the
snakes mouth. And would you believe
1t? that silly frog sat perfectly still
and winked and blipked his eyes. and
once he even tried to catch q Nv that
flew close by his nose.
Well, guess 1t soon would ! have
been all over with that silly litfla
froygfe who wandered from his boeeie
II iBiily Bunny hadn't tickled the
snakes TAIL which made him couRf,
and OF course after that he couldn't
swallow and out hoped the frog and
away he went back to his bog ana told
all the little tadpoles what a narrow
escape he had.

there was at no time anything personal
ASIDE from the question Of whether he
was demonstrating his complete loyalty
TO the government with regard to the
war against Germany. It was, there
fore. with great pleasure that the
Times yesterday published and The
community read the straightforward
and manly statement Of Mr. Ruymanp
In which he confessed, he had been In
error and declared he had now come to
see that all along he had been mis-
taken In regard to the fundamental
issues involved in the struggle in which
the nation is engaged.
Ir. Ruymann should now be given
every encouragement by everyone to
maintain the new stand that he has
taken. 1t Is no easy thing to put off
some old opinion concerning vital
matter and to take up new point of
view. That fact has been recognized
by all thinking men of the community,
Mr.. Ruymann is to he commended for
his frank. public declaration and it
should be received without reserve.
When a man of strong convictions,
such as he Is known to be, changes his
opinion and takes a public stand in
regard to the change, it is safe to as
sumo that he is just as firmly deter
mined to back up his new declaration
as he had been to maintain his former
point OF view.
Mr.. Ruymann not only has made
contributions to the Red Cross, tae
Salvation Army and the Y NJ. C. A..
work, ba1 he is also ready fo hack nm
his decision to support the government
to the fullestHby doing whatever work
he may be called upon to do by the
council Of defense OF other patriotic
ORGANIZATIONS. Mr.. Ruymann, on ac-
count Of his influence and wide ac-
quaintance, will be able to do much
good for the country in helping others
to get right.
Here are congratulations and best
wishes to Mr.. Ruynlann.
