OF THE UNIDENTIFIED

The young private in the National
Army at Maryland camp who has
been sentenced to serve three years
in prison and to dishonorable dis
charge because he refused to do
kitchen duty will have ample time In
which to reflect upon many things.
1t is to be hoped that he will see the
folly of disobedience. and also that he
will acquire new view point of the
dignity Of labor.
He is one of type who think GER
tain kinds of work are beneath
them" and who refuse to do other
tasks because they "were not hired
for that" They think 1t may be all
right to dig trenches but that they
will lose caste in some mysterious
way if they wash kettles and peel po,
tatoes.
Experience in the cantonments is
opening a good many eyes, and 1t is
commonly being demonstrated that
those who are the most fearful that
their dignity" will suffer by any
kind of honest duty have the least
dignity to lose.-Oregonian.

they took our company to the lower
barracks, where we we're given ham
mocks. A person has to be pretty
careful or he will fall out. We stayed
at the lower barracks about a week.
One is sure crowded for time there.
II one is caught lettering around
during drill hours. he is put in the
dizzy squad and put to work.
At the d barracks we could go to
bed at any time after supper, but at
the lower barracks we couldn't 60 to
bed until 9 o'clock. Our company had
to do radio guard. each man was on
for four hours. ' -
While in the lower barracks we
had to unload barge Of lumber In
the meantime $50 men from the low
er barracks were invited to dance at
the Palace hotel. We had to get the
barg unloaded in order to get to go
to the dance. Believe me we made
the lumber fly, and we got to 90. We
were treated fine. Two ladies acted
at floor managers, and when we want
ed to get an Introduction they would
lead us to the lady and introduce us.
We had a great time. Punch was
served.
The next night there was another
dance at the Fairmount Hotel. We
sure had fine time there. The
dances were for the enlisted men.
One evening in Frisco a bunch OF
sailors were in a German cafe. They
asked the orchestra to play the Star
Spangled Banner. The Germans re-
fused, then a lively time followed.
The Germans finally played 1t and it
was q good thing they did. Several
policemen and a patrolman were
called. l got to see part Of the in
cident. The marines and soldiers
were in 1t with the sailors.
On the 18th of January we were
transferred to Mare Island. Again we
were called rockies. Here we have
lots more time than at Goat Island.
Marshall Phelps and Brick Coshow
are here with the marines. I am now
in sweeping detail
Before we left Goat Island Sam
Turner had to go to the hospital. We
had to leave him, but now he Is with
us again. When he came 1t was like
seeing relative.
They are pretty strict here about
our clothing and quarters. Here we
can go to bed at 1880 and get up at
6.

LET HIM LIVE
From "The Silent Partner"


ped from an exchange and while the
horrors the author wishes on Kaiser
Bill are horrible enough to make
reader squirm they are no worse than
the Kaiser has infected on thousands
of persons in his bloody battle for
world power and dominion which ac-
cording to his diseased brain God has
designated him to WELD. Such lines
as these bring the attention OF the
reader to the horrors of Prussianism
more forcefully than does the prose
stories from eye witnesses which are
now appearing in print. All of the
horrors named in this poem have
been used by the Prussians in their
campaigns sanctioned by the Kaiser
besides Others till more horrible.
A long as flowers their perfume give,
So long I'd let the Kaiser live
Live and live for a million years,
With nothing to drink but Belgian
tears;
With nothing to quench his awful
thirst
But the salted brine of Scotchman's
curse.
l would let him live on a dinner each
day,
Served from silver on golden tray
Served with things both dainty and
sweet
Served with everything but things to
eat.
And l would make him a bed of silk
en- sheen,
With costly linens to lie between,
With covers of down and fillets Of
lace,
And downy pillows piled in place.
Yet when to it's comfort he would
yield,
1t would stink with the rot of the bat
tie field.
And blood and bones and brains of
Should cover him, smother him-and
then
His pillows should cling with the rot
ten cloy-
Cloy from the grave of soldier boy.
And while Gods stars their vigil
keep,
And while the waves the white sands
sweep,
He should never, never, never sleep.
And through all the days, through all
the years,
There should be an anthem in his
ears,
Ringing and singing and never done
From the edge of light to set of sun,
Moaning and moaning and moaning
Wild
A ravaged French girls bastard
/ child.
And l would build him castle by the
sea,
As lovely castle as ever could be;
Then I'd show him a ship from over
sea,
As fine a ship as ever could be;
Laden with water cold and sweet,
Laden with every thing good to eat;
Yet does she scarce touch the silvered
sands,
Than hot and hellish molten she'll
Should change his heaven into hell,
And though he watch on the wave
swept shore,
Our Lusitania would rise no more!
In mo Mans Land" where the Irish
fell,
I'd start the Kaiser private hell;
I'd jab, stab him, give him gas,
In every wound I'd pour ground
glass;
I'd march him out where the brave
boys died
Out past the lads they crucified.
In the fearful gloom Of his living
tomb,
There is one thing I'd do before l was
through:
rd make him sing, In stirring man.

The FatherIeSs Children
 Of France

have been elected as Cha ir- man for the Northern District of Franklin County of the fund known as the ''Fatherless Child ren of France. The purpose of this organization is to provide means by which at least a part of the children of France whose fathers have been killed in the great War for Liberty may re- main under the direct care of their mothers.
 It is estimated that the small sum of ten cents a day will feed one of these children and will enable the mother 10 help maintain the home while the Government of France will pro- vide free education for the chil- dren.
 It is to be the great. generous hearts of American men and women that the great appeal is made to adopt. in their own name, one or more of these helpless little ones. To do this you are asked to adopt a certain child or children and to pay for its keep the sum of ten cents a day as follows: $9.50 at the time of the adoption and the sum of S9.00 at the beginning of each three months period thereafter, and, if possible. to keep this up for five years. These four payments would amount at the end of each year to S36. 50.
 You thus become to this ex- tent tee personal provider for one or more of these orphaned children and you will be furnish ed the name of your little ward and it, m turn, will be told the name and address of it's benefac- tor.
 Make your application for further information and your first remittance directly to me as chairman.
 Yours truly,
 Mrs. Geo. Fleeman, Ozark, Ark

S50,0O0,00O A DAY IS
SPENT BY U. S. ON WAR
Prospects Are for Average Ex-
penSe of ,500,0O0r0O0
a Month

WASHINGTON. July 30.-America's
war bill has reached $1S,935, $4,000
With expenditures during the first q
days of July of 1889, SOS, 900, and es-
timated expenditures for the whole
month of $1.4sS, 100000. this nation is
now paying out approximately $4,000
900 a day, or over 100000 an hour.
While the July bill will run about
S24, 100000 under the June total, treas
ury officials indicate that the war de
velopments nave reached a stage where
the cost to the United States will like
ly remain for some time around S1,50l.-
000,0 600 a month.
June, thus far, has been the high
water month of the war, S1,512. 900, 00J
having been expended during that month
Some indications of the growth in
expenditures may be seen. In the fact
that in April, 1917 when we entered
the war. the months expenditures
amounted to only S2S90O0.O0O, so to-
days compilation showse a steady in
crease to a point where they are now
over 500 per cent of the first months.

DASHING YANKEES
NSTILL FEAR IN
HEART OF ENEMY

WITH THE AMERICAN ARMY IN
FRANCE, July 31.-The intrepid charg-
ing of the Americans is not only win
ming ground, but it is also instilling
fear into the Germans. Letters taken
from prisoners today and statements
made by them clearly show this.
There are many instances of American
heroism
At one town the Germans counter
attacked. obliging the Americans to re-
treat temporarily. Then the enemy sent
asked if the Americans wanted to sur
render.
Hell, no." yelled the commander.
Were ready to attack"
This they did retaking the village
and holding it permanently.
The more intelligent Germans fear
they won't be able to hold out much
longer against the increasing allied
forces.
"The German army couldn't hold two
months longer at the present rate of
losses" declared one German officer.
A Prussian prisoner was found to car
ry letter written to his life before the
battle. He wrote:
1.-The war is hopeless for us now that
we are opposed to those ferocious
Americans who cannot be defeated.
Their artillery already has caused ter
rible losses. We must be annihilated
by their infantry"
The American spirit and devotion to
duty is amazing even to those who have
watched the war and been on the bat
tlefelds for years. Time after time the
Americans have charged into intense
machine gun fire and through artillery
barrages and have driven back the Ger
mans, whose infantry cannot stand up in
hand-to-hand combats.
An American lieutenant stumbled into
a rolling kitchen at the roadside behind
the lines and asked for something to
eat. He trembled continually and pri-
vate offered to help him to a hospital,
but the officer refused.
I'm going back to the front with my
boys" he said. I'm in a Stokes mortar

Americans Approaching
The VILLAGE of Chamery

WITH THE AMERICAN ARMY ON
THE AISNE-MARNE FRONT, Aug. l.
Is a m.)-(By the Associated Press.)-
The Franco-American forces on the
main battle front continued yesterday
the process of Strengthening the line.
They scored advances in this effort, the
Americans pushing beyond Sergy to
within two kilometers of Chamery.
The allied forces effected their prog
ress against stubborn German resist
ance. Chamery, the town the Americans
now are approaching, marks the spot
where Lieutenant Quentin Roosevelt fell
to his death recently with his airplane.
American and French troops launch
ed an attack Wednesday afternoon from
Seringes to Cierges, on the center of the
Marine front, for the purpose of straight
ening the line and demolishing barbed
wire entanglements which the Germans
have placed through the hills, forests
and open places.
The Germans Wednesday used a new
gas, having a white flame and smoke.
The allies brought into action their
heavy artillery, their aviators and pa
trolls having reported mile after mile
of barbed wire standing along the Ger
man lines. The heavy guns soon found
the range of the entanglements. Some
enemy infantry had dug in behind the
wires, but the lines for the most part
were manned by machine gunners
The German artillery reply cons; sted
chiefly of shells from the IT'S and 1865.
The machine guns, with the heavier
pieces indicated, were active in an eff
fort to prevent an allied advance
The purpose of the American and
French attack, which is in a northeast
erly direction, probably is for the pur-
pose of Outflanking the Meuniere wood
and in cutting off the blunt edged sa-
lient in the line between Romingny and
Cierges. This salient was made more
acute by the American advance north
from Cierges IN Cerinp,as
