tss MORNING JouHssL SPECIAL LEASED wRsI
London, Sept. 10.-Uncle Sam's
fighters, an American army chaplain
finds, are eager to be talked to about
religion, but, he says, you can't fool
the boys with pulpit camouflage.
Down in their hearts they crave the
vital things of life and eternity"
The chaplain was discussing serv-
ices held in the Y. M. c. A. huts, 1--WE
usually open," he said, with fifteen
minutes of movies. A venerable
preacher asked if that was necessary.
He thought it wasn't, and he proposed
to put it to the men themselves.
Boys he said, I've come here to tell
you something about religion. Would
you like to begin right away or would
you rather have movie film first?'
"A tall, raw-boned soldier stood up
in the audience. TO hell with the
movies he exclaimed. Let's hear
about religion
''The boys don't come to be enter
tained. What they want is to hear the
simple, sincere and elemental truth
of religion as the preacher conceives
1t. There are certain subjects, too, 1t
is wise to steer clear Of Don't talk to
them about drink and gambling and
sex. They hear all they need of that
sort or thing from the proper instruc-
tors.
And don't talk about spread -eagle
patriotism. They have plenty of pa
triotism. Don't tell them how fine
they are, for they've heard that until
they are tired of 1t. Besides, no real
man likes to be flattered, and these
fellows are real men. Above all else,

the boys are waiting with open hearts
for the best comfort that religion car
give them, don't tell them funny sto.

Yankees Move Forward
Against Foe at Dawn, Fol-
lowing Artillery Preparation
of Almost Four Hours.
LITTLE RESISTANCE is
OFFERED BY THE ENEMY
Germans Believed to Have
Withdrawn Their Main
Forces to a Second Line,
Where Stand May Be Made.


London, Sept f3.-The Daily Man
correspondent at the American front
sends the following description of the
battle along the st. Mihiel sector:
The first American army under
personal command Of General Persb-
ing for the first time went into action
today in the St. AIihiel salient. Never
before has there been such large
concentration of American troops for
.one operation and never before have
the Americans been in such complete
control of their own operations.
The event had long been antlci
.pated Some people assigned TO il.
grandoise detectives but in reality the
attack is for limited objectives only
Artillery Preparation.
AT l o'clock Thursday morning
the artillery preparation began with
e roar that could be heard many miles
away and all night it rose and fell
with peculiar fluctuations. From ali

pending assault Towards ) o'clock

came even more rapid and its sullen
tone mingled strangely with the sound
of tho rain.

'At one point. near Seicheprev.
whore the American had previously

in that direction and the Americans

Thievery Always the Bane of
Russian Life in the Past,
Continues to Thrive Under
the Present Regime,
LOW SALARIES PAID ARE
ASSIGNED AS THE CAUSE
Rulers Believe Workers Should
Labor Not Merely for Money
But for Love of Their Ideal;
Much EdIeneSS.


stockholm, Wednesday, Sept IL
(by the Associated Press) Graft al
ways has been the bane of Russian
Official life and Bolshevik rule has
not been able to cure this evil On the
contrary, say observers of the Rus
ian political situation who have
arrived here from Moscow, the Boil
sheviki have unwittingly encouraged
corruption among the officials by pay
ing salaries insufficient to cover bare
living expenses. They do that only
to save money for the depleted ma
tional treasury, but on the theory that
the Bolsheyilf work not merely for
money but for the love of their ideal.
Salaries Are Inadequate.
While such n theory may hold good
with the Bolshevikf of the ideal type
and there are few such---a great
majority of the officials are of the
Bolsheviki only to the extent of tho
benefit which. can he derived from
protesting loyalty to the cause. To
these the monthly salary of 600 or 500
rubles usually paid to officials of the
second and third classes--national
commissars and members of the cen
tral executive receive a hundred rub
les, the commissars getting one hun.
dred rubles additional for each child
lis insufficient to buy bread for a
family.
1t is small wonder that such offic-
ials are not particular regarding ways
of earning more on the side which
sometimes amounts to may times their
salary. 1t is true the government pun
ishes such offenders severely and even
executes officials for looting the pub
lie funds or taking bribes but their
number is so small comparatively
and the government has so many
weightier problems that corruption
and speculation reign supreme.
Another ilp of the old Russian re-
gime greatly aggravated behind the
present Reorganization is idleness.
Officials DO Much I,oafing.
The chief of an important govern
ment department at Moscow which
employees several hundred people told
the Associated Press that only a few
officials who are typists performed
their work conscientiously and that
the majority smoke cigarettes, drink
tea and talk most of the time.
A still worse situation was found at
the Petrograd postoffice when that in
stitution recently was inspected by
government commission. The chair
man of the commission In his pub
lshed report stated that although the
mail matter handled by the postoffice
was only fory per cent of that prev
ious years. the number of employees
had been doubled within the last year,
"They work only three hours a
day." he said. "as there is no author
ity to enforce the six hour law for Of
flee employees. They recognize no sup
eriors except their own committees. :"
The chairman also noted a great
increase in thefts at the postoffices
and said these were hard to trace be-
cause of the general confusion.

HAVR|NCOURT IS
TAKEN BY STORM
BY THE BRITISH
., aonnlas ,ousn.l sesel.l .r.s.n upn


With the British Army in France,
Sept. 12 (by the Associated Press.
goo p. m.)-British troops stormed
their way today into the shell-shat-
tered town of Havrincourt, which lies
on dominating ridge within the for
ward defenses of the IIindenburg
line, and at latest reports were main
tanning their hold.
A little to the south they also car
ried Trescault another town on the
high ground. Fighting was still pro-
ceeding this afternoon and about 300
German prisoners have been sent back
to the cages.
The attack was begun this morning
In the midst OF rain. which had been
falling intermittently for several
days. Because of the elevation of
this ridge, however. the ground was
not in particularly bad condition
The operation was local one. re-
stricted to the capture of positions Of
the Havrineourt-Tre sector This
was the only important action re-
ported on the British front today,
The main interest here centered in
the American drive, news of which
spread quickly this morning. Officers
throughout the British army are
watching the battle eagerly. A
meager report received this afternoon
that things were going we'll for the
Americans was received with the
greatest enthusiasm and expressions
Of heartfelt good wishes.
