The British, for example. have been

BIRTHDAY CELEBRATION

A surprise dinner arranged

were about 40 present and the
affair was complete surprise
to Brother Mcdonnell. His
children presented to him
fine chair which was another
complete surprise. The day
was greatly enjoyed by all
present.
1t is reported that DR.. Pas
coe did his level best to make
showing at the table but fail
ed to bring about any visible
results. We know from that
fact, that food was in album

children right, and has given
to all his friends such good
admonition that they volun-
tarily pay him a tribute of such
high respect, which he so richly
deserves. We hope when
these pleasant reunions of life
areover we can all reunite with
Brother and Sister Mcdonnell in
the grand and glorious eternal
reunion in that happy home
of Homes.

OUR PRESIDENT

President Wilson-you have
heard of his fame
Every child in the land should
know his name;
Should learn of his wisdom,
day by day,
And Oh! How | wish we could
hear him say:
you shall not conquer you
naughty Hun;
We will not quit the field till
the battle is won.
Think how you have treated
poor Belgium and France,
And How you have given child
rem the lance.
Thy cold blooded murders
shall be revenged,
For we will chase you to
your den;
We will kill your kaiser and
your men,
And give Wilson the glory for
ever, Amen.

The plan of the government
to raise revenue through the
sale of war savings stamps IS
one of the most commendable
plans yet instituted. The sale
of liberty bonds was and IS
necessarily circumscribed be-
cause these bonds could not be
issued in small denominations
sufficient to include the small
savings of the millions who
handle only small means. With
the savings stamps, however,
all can have hand i'll finan-
cling their government. Millions
who felt themselves unable to
spare the amount of a bond
can contribute through this
channel. And the fact that
every penny invested in these
stamps is so much saved and
invested at profit, should in
spire in the American people a
spirit of thrift and saving that
has heretofore been totally for
eign to our nature. The res
ponse should be universal.

counter revolutionary movements have

Foe Using Reserves
The enemy apparently is calling upon
his reserves to help him save all ma
terlai possible. In the area before
Vauvilliers the enemy has been sup
ported by heavy artillery, but further
southwark the French First and Third
armies have advanced slightly. and in
this neighborhood the Germans do not
appear to be too we'll supplied with
artillery.
Large fires and long transport col
umns IN the enemy's back areas tend
to strengthen the belief that his heavy
counter-attacks against the British are
intended to afford him time to eyacu-
ate his stores.
The Allied casualties in the first two

THE trial Of Bolo Pacha IN

he returned to France from

Hearst IN the newspapers he bought
'0ath German cash. Hearst avos then
advocating peace, as Bolo intended
TO DO IN France. On May s, 1916,
less than three Weeks after Bolo's
return to Pa,is, there appeared an
article achich he rrote himself in
''Le Journal" headed by three-col-
ann cut of Hearst. Bolo began his
eulogy by charocterizing Hearst as
a man of great originality, a power,
q handler of the masses. and CON-
tinued.
"Never have the sympathies of the
Americans been more precious to the
Allies than in the present hour. when
the policy of the United States is in
the balance. And when these sym-
pathles are emanating from a man
like Hearst there is a double reason
for mentioning the fact.
William Randolph Hearst is fig
urlng in the front rank as a Gotha
American. Who would dare to deny
. the kingdom of publicity to this
man, who himself owns eleven great
daily newspapers, several Of which
are regarded as the most important
organs in the New and Old worlds;
number of magazines, a news
agency, which is distributing news to
more than 400 newspapers; who. in
addition, is supplying more than
5000 motion picture theatres with
films? This handler of the masses
has brought under his control ali
the means by which one can appeal

mst American
Field Amy in
France Formed
Commanded by Pershing;
All u. S. Forces To
Be Co-ordinated
(By The Associated Prcss)

WITH THE AMERICAN ARMY IN
FRANCE. Aug. 1.-THE first American
field army has been organized. 1t is
under the direct command of General
John ]. Pershing, commander-in-ch chief
OF the American forces. The corps
commanders thus far announced are
Major Generals Liggett. Bullard.
Bundy, Reed and Wright.
The creation of the first field arrny
is the first step toward the coordina-
tion of all the American forces in
France.
This does not mean the immediate
withdrawal from the British and
French commands of all American
units, and it is probable that divisions
will be used on the French and British
fronts for weeks yet.
1t is understood, however, that the
policy of organizing other armies will
be carried out steadily.
