|Ir41IEI went down, to defeat on
lHSVMSH our home grounds here
Ie&Ny last Saturday. However,
they put up courageous fight to
win, but fell short of their goal by
not being able to hit safely and at
times when hits were most needed.
The day was ideal for baseball.
Not breath of air was stirring to
mar the fight of the ball. The
sun shone warm, making the per-
spiration flow freely, and through
it all there was an eager bunch of
fans roofing for the home team.
However, the snappy plays that
brought very much of demon
stration from the fans were few
and far between.
| 1t was plainly to be seen that
after the third inning had been
played the game was developing
into a pitchers battle, with Lee
holding a shade the best of the
contest. However, he only struck
out five men during the game, but
was able to hold his opponents to
only four safe hits, while the op-
posing pitcher struck out eleven
men; but he allowed six safe hits
and passed three men on balls.
The All Stars have played sew
eral games here in the past, but
Saturdays lineup was composed
of nearly all new recruits, some of
whom made wonderful showing
for themselves, this being especial
ly noted in their young and prom

behind the bat. He displayed per-
feet GOODNESS and strong determina-
ton at all critical stages of the
game. From present indications
he seems to have the material in
him that will sooner or later land
him in the major leagues. Being
we'll known among the fans here,
they cordially extend their best
wishes for his success in this field
of endeavor.

an easy out, but on account of a
fielding error Rutherford landed
safely on second base. Stone fol-

generously for their mothers even
when able to do so. They seem to
think that mother can live most
anywhere, and most anyway: that
if she has enough to supply her
with necessities she is satisfied.
Just think how we would feel if
the conditions were reversed, if
we were obliged to take the de-
pendent, humiliating position of
our mother. Whatever else we
are obliged to neglect, we should
take no chances of giving our
mother pain by neglecting her,
and thus making ourselves miser-
able in the future. There is no
one else in this world who can take
our mothers place in our life. And
there is no remorse like that which
comes from remembrance of ILL
treating. abusing or being unkind
to ones mother. These things
stand out with awful vividness and
terrible clearness when the mother
is gone forever from sight, and we
have time to contrast our treatment
with her long suffering, tenderness
and love, and her years of sacrifice
for US.
l once saw a splendid college
graduate introduce his poor, plainly
dressed old mother to his class
mates with as much pride and dig
nifty as though she was a queen.
Her form was bent, her hands
we're calloused, she was premature
ly old, and much of this deteriora-
tion was caused by all sorts of
drudgery to help her boy pay col
lege expenses.
l have seen other college men
whose mothers have made similar
sacrifices, and who we're ashamed
to have them attend their gradual
ing exercises, ashamed to introduce
them to their classmates. l have
never known a man who was
ashamed of his mother to make
real man. Such men are invariably
selfish and mean. Think of the
humiliation and suffering of the
slave mother, who has given all
the best of her life to her children.
battling with poverty in her efforts
to dignity her little home, and to
give her children an education,
when she realizes that she is losing
ground Intellectually, yet has no
time or strength for reading, or
self-culture, no opportunity for
broadening her mental outlook by
travelling or mingling with the
world. But this is nothing COM
pared to the anguish she endures,
when, after the flower of her youth
is gone and there is nothing left of
her but the ashes of a burnt-out
existence, the shreds of a former
superb womanhood, she awakes to
the consciousness that her children
are ashamed of her ignorance, and
desire to keep her in the back
ground.
But no matter how callous or
ungrateful son may be. no matter
how low he may sink in vice or
crime, he is always sure of his
mothers love; always of one who
will follow him even to his grave,
if she is alive and can get there; of
one who will cling to him when all

lions. In reality nothing was seen OF
frank-tireurs, but by this method the
enmity toward the people living in the
towns along our line of march was
maintained. The Germans praCtiCed
the theory that the soldiers fight bet
ter and are more amenable to dis
cipline when filled with hatred of their
enemies.
The next day we were obliged to
march to ChalOns-sur-Ma This
was one of the hardest days we ever
had. From the very beginning, as we
began our journey, the sun blazed
down upon us. 1t is about 35 kilome-
tiers from Suippes to ChalOns-sur-
Marine. This distance would not have
been so bad, despite the heat; we had
already made longer marches; but the
beautiful road from Suippes to Chal-
ons goes with amending monotony with
out so much as a curve or bend TO
the right or left. AS far as we could
see IL stretched before US like a long
white snake.
Many soldiers tainted or were strick-
en- with sunstroke. They were picked
up by the infirmary columns which fol-
lowed. That the troops who had trav-
ersed this road before us had Jared
worse was evident from the many dead
Germans who lay along the road. The
commander feared that he could not
get the machine in motion again If 1t
was halted, and permitted to stretch
its weary limbs on the ground for a
brief rest. And so it crept along like
a snail. Only, instead of having a
snairs shell on its back, there was 8
ieadeu burden.
The monotony of the march was
broken when we reached the enor-
nous camp at Chalons. This is one
of the largest of the French army
camps. We saw ChalOns from the dist
lance. As we halted about an hour
later outside the city in an orchard,
without a single exception every man
fell to the ground exhausted. The field
kitchens were soon brought up, but the
men were too tired to eat. We did eat
later and then wanted to go to town to
purchase some articles, particularly
tobacco, which we missed most. No
body was allowed to leave camp. We
were told that entering the city was
strictly forbidden. Chalons had paid
war contribution and therefore no
one was permitted in the city.
We heard the dull sounds Of the
cannon in the distance and suspected
that our rest would be brief. The
rolling of gunfire continued to grow
stronger. We did not know then that
a fight had begun which was destined
to become fatal to the Germans.
The first days battle Of the Marine
had begunl
