Shanghai, July 30.-The Czecho-Slo-

kOva, according to a dispatch from
Viadivostok. They captured consider

London, July 30.-"The relations be-
tween Germany and Turkey have been

nouncement is made by the Copenha-
gen correspondent of the Exchange
Telegraph Company.
Notwithstanding the fact that the
Germans have powerfully strengthened
their battle line running across the
Soissons- Rheims salient with addition
nj fresh reserves and have stubbornly
disputed further passage northward to
the entente allied troops. the enemy
front has been compelled to bend back
appreciably on all side of the salient,
Immediately on Soissons and Rheims.
South Of Scissors further wedges have
been driven eastward INTO the enemy
front down to the OurcQ river. East
ward along the Ourcq French and
American troops have crossed the
stream at various points and advanced
their line well to the northward. while
southwest Of Rheims the allies have
debouched from the wooded sectors
and gained the plains. notwithstanding
the violence OF the enemy's counter
maneuvers. At some points the Ger
mans succeeded somewhat in checking
the forward movement, but nowhere
were they able to bring It to stand
still. The retirement Of the Germans
still remains orderly, but everywhere
the allied troops. and especially the
Americans near Fere-en-Tardenois are
pressing them hard. Particularly bit
ter fighting has taken place around
Fere-en-Tarden0is and at Sergy. both
OF which towns are now well in the
hands of the French and Americans.
At sergy the Germans paid the Ameri-
cans the compliment Of reinforcing
their battle line with two divisions of
well tried Bavarian troops, men whose
courage previously has been tested
when the tide of. battle was going
against the Germans.
1t was an effort either to destroy
the Americans or to herd them back
across the Ourcq. The effort resulted
in failure.
The French are on the north bank
of the Ourcq and to the east they have
secured the whole road between
Rheims and Dormans. The Germans
are stubbornly resisting and are burn
ing villages.
Heavy fighting is still in progress to
the south Of Scissors. in the neighbor-
hood of Buczancy. Villages between
SCISSORS and Bazoches. about fourteen
miles to the east, however, are on
fire, leading to the belief that the Ger
mans may intend further retreat.
Since Sunday the allies have ad-
yanced between two and three miles
cn a twenty-mile front.

day of departure for the 10Th Di-
vision soon will arrive, sooner
perhaps than most of the men
here realize.
There has been a great deal
written and said concerning the
probable date when this division
will sail. Rumors have been scat
tered broadcast. Relatives and
friends have rushed here to say
the last goodbye, believing that
the day for departure for service
abroad was near at hand. But
now it can be stated with rea-
sonable degree of certainty, ac-
cording to activities here which
cannot be, explained in detail,
that the selected men who have
been in training are scheduled to
leave the cantonment before the
spring flowers bloom, making
room for the second draft.

BOTH FEET ARE AMPUTATED.
Extreme Measures Taken to Save
Private ValiskO's Life.

Medical officers here amputated both
feet of Private Tony Valisko of the
316th Infantry, in a struggle to stave
off the death of that selected soldier.
There is little hope for his recovery.
The surgical efforts of the military
physicians at the base hospital are the
sequel of the terrorizing raid of this
soldier on Portland, small community
near the cantonment, which took place
some six weeks ago. Half clad and
barefooted, valisko tramped through

victory.

company left in the league with claim on
the championship-Co L, which is

the game was speedy. At first the Ma

teamwork in and from then on ran away

WHY ARE WE HERE?

To the thinking man here at
Camp Meade comes the question
quite frequently, what are we
here for?" If our system of Ameri-
can education has been of any
value to the Individual he is able
and willing to think the thing
through with a clear analysis to
a firm conviction of the right
eousness and honor of the call.
We are gathered here for a
purpose far greater than that of
building a military machine, fas-
cinating as that is. We are here
assembled that we may reconse-
crate ourselves to the perpetual
ton of the cardinal fundamentals
of American democracy, and to
rededicate Our lives, in newer
and truer way, to the supreme
task of defending those principles
of American freedom. AS might
has conquered the right of Amer
lean doctrines to a place in the
history Of the human race-not
by reason, education or example,
but by force-so must we fight
might with like weapons.
We, as Americans, are proud
Of our freedom( We believe in
law and Justice, liberty and equal
ity, peace and prosperity, educa-
ton and culture, in labor and
right to enjoy the fruits of labor.
We are people seeking the light,
searching out truth, honoring all
noble labor and championing the
individuals rights to religious
liberty, freedom of speech and
press, the love of brotherhood
and equality, the divine privilege
of self-government, the enjoy
ment of life and the pursuit of
peace and happiness.
Surely, every last man is truly
conscious of the honor that is
Americas, of the duty that is his
and the obligations attendant
upon such an honor. Let us each
wear the khaki" our unostenta-
tious uniform, with conviction,
confidence and courage. 1t is en-
blematic of american simplicity,
strength and sincerity. 1t is indie
alive of the highest service that
any man can render-the de-
Tense of the principles of Amer
lea, and the rights of others; the
love of truth and loyalty to Gods
universal plans for humanity.
May we take up the duties
thrust upon us with such purpose
and determination as shall de-
velop invincible power and assure
victory of right over might. May
we all dedicate ourselves to the
tasks before US, so building that
weg shall leave to posterity a ma
tien. ] endowed with the most
priceless heritage of highest hui
srnatr attainment, "a land enlight-
enedl in truth under God, and a
people proclaiming liberty, not
only throughout the, land" but
throughout all the world.

''"Y" SECRETARY WRITES
OF LIFE IN FRANCE
Americans Follow High Ideals Be-
fore People Of Invaded
Country.

"Y" secretaries in France, where
women serve in the huts as well a.
men, have to let the soldiers entertain
the female Y workers because the rules
say that man must not be seen
walking or eating with Y woman.
This, according to a statement Of
Harry b. Gibson. Avalon. Pa, brother
Of Private Gibson of the 2Sth En~
gineers. Harry is in France for the Y,
and in writing his family about his
luck over there mentioned the fact
that questions Of romance does not fig
ure in the Y mans work at all.
This is what he wrote his wife:
Had splendid conference this morn.
ing. Surely had some interesting
speakers. One American lady. who
heads the women in the camps OUT
lined what was expected Of the men In
relation to the women.
I'VE were told to be good pals Of
the girls. but we must not go to mess
friendly, as the soldiers would be apt
to say that we had lady friends. This
is not the case, of course
I'VE must permit the soldiers to do
the walking with the Y girls, ETC., but
the latter are instructed not to get too
time for romance, as we are here to
serve.
"Out for stroll last night in Paris
met two soldiers from Australia. We
bucked them up to keep them on the
straight and narrow path. The two
had had no word from home since No
vember 6. How they did appreciate the
little we did for them.
I'VE must remember that we are
guests here in France, and that they
will Judge the United States and our
diers.
THE women await news each day;
some have waited for years. How they
are filing all sorts Of jobs that the
men may serve at the front! So we
must humbly do as our Master did
when He handed bread to the five thou
sand. $50, as l go closer to, the battle
front, I go with the prayer that the
most humble service that i can render
soldiers will be fed thereby with more
than the temporal food.
The French girls are, as a rule. very
attractive. Their hair Is nicely ar
ranged, and their boots are faultless,
and they are well dressed. They excel
the average girl at home, in the matter
of hairdressing, but while some are
pretty, we still feel that none Is quite
as attractive as the girls we left be-
hind.
"As go forward to the front I shall
be where He is. doing His work, and
I shall be kept-shOuld it be otherwise,
think of the thousands that have paid
the price. But l feel better when 1
say that 1T will be His will. We shall
meet again, and how happy we will be,
as will be so many Others"
