COMPLIMENT TO LOCAL BOY

July IL, 1918.
Mr.. S. S. Pinney,
Mt. Sterling, Kentucky.
Dear Sir:
Your letter dated April 9, 1918,
concerning Clarence Lane William,
has just come to my notice. The
particular reason for writing con-
corning it at this late date is the
fact that he had seven other letters
of the same character but present
ed none of them to anyone until yes
terday-after which he had been
advised of something which would
indicate to him that he had "made
good" in the eyes of his Command
ing Officer. That something" was
that he had been recommended for
the Officers Training Camp.
The undersigned was in command
of the Indianapolis Training De-
tachment from April 18th to June
18th, where Sergeant William re-
ceived his first training. His work
was always satisfactory and he sue
ceeded in impressing all of the Of
ficers on duty with the detachment
as being and honest, conscientious
and absolutely dependable man, and
it was a pleasure to retain him as
an instructor and bring him along
to this detachment which consits Of
nearly 1850 men. As soon as we are
established, he was given the rank
of a LIST. Sergeant and appointed

MONEY FURNISHES THE PUNCH

"After all, money forms the SIN
ews of war;" declared General Foch
several months ago in discussing the
situation and outlook along the
Flanders front when things looked
darkest. His army was fighting
tooth and nail then, hitting hard and
stepping back, parrying a thrust and
darling in to deliver counter punch,
and all the while taking heavy toll
of the Germans. But he was looking
even then.
He knew, as well as other great
generals that preceded him, that
after all is said and done, money,
which in this sense means the sup
plies that money can be made to
furnish gives an army its punch.
That money is Absolutely, impera-
lively necessary to win any big, long
drawn out war. Without money-the
things money will buy-and army
will go to pieces sooner or later. 1t
has been exemplified over and over
again.
An army may be ever so well
trained; its morale at the outset may
be ever so good; it may have the ad-
vantage of position and weapons of
warfare, but unless it is kept sup
piled with all that is necessary for
the waging of war, the actual fight
ing even to the hand-to hand strug-
gle, it will weaken sooner or later 1t
must have arms, ammunition, food
and clothing sufficient to make it eff
fective, and have them all the time.
No army fights well on an empty
stomach if the fight is much pro-
longed. No army can withstand con-
tinued attack if it lacks ammunition.
No army can stand winter trench
service inadequately clothed. 1t may
meet with reverses and yet come
back and fight valiantly. The Ital-
ians did this, the French did it. The
English did it. Frequently temper
airy reverse spurs to greater effort,
greater gallantry, greater execution.
But this doesn't apply to an army
that has lost its punch. Witness the
Russians.
Americas forces have gone abroad
full of vim, vigor and fighting spirit.
They have held up their end valiant
ly. They are making good to the con-
sternation of Germany and the add
miration of their allies. They will
uphold American tradition if we at
home maintain our end of the prob
lem.
And that is to furnish the money
properly to supply their needs. To
the army punch.
It's up to us individually and col
lectively It's our duty to prepare to

They admit there has been conjec-

1t Is not understood from these Of

on the German admiralty. The Allied
fleets are ready, SO there can be no
surprise.

ly for them without danger so long as
collision with the light vessel Is
avoided. and also that they may be
moved and moored in another po-
sition when change OF conditions or
necessity requires. On the other
hand. a light vessel is more expensive
to maintain, and there Is the posi-
bility Of its being driven from its sta
tion. though this is reduced in recent
years by improved vessels and moor
ings.

unsuccessful attempts had been made
TO build a lighthouse on Diamond

ENGLAND SALvAGING SHIPS
More Than 400 Sunken Vessels Rails
ed and Restored to Service.


Not all the ships which Germany's
torpedoes and marine collisions send
to the bottom Of the sea stay there
In less than three years more than
400 sunken merchant vessels have
been restored to service. And more
than one ship has been raised, re-
paired, sent forth on u new career
and then sunk and raised anew for
a third lease on life.
This rescue work is done by the sal
wage section OF the British navy. Be-
fore the war no one thought Of at
tempting TO save such wrecks as are
now brought up from the depths. but
ships now are priceless. The tinan-
cial value of the salvage work Is
enormous. The cargoes salvaScd are
worth many millions of dollars.
Recently a big American tanker
collidcd on a dark night in the Eng
lish channel with a sturdy British
standard ship carrying oil. There was
an explosion of benzine. and both ves-
sells were quickly swept by flames
OF the crew Of the British ship only
eight men. who jumped overheard
were saved.
Salvage work on both ships began
with the arrival of tugs, which. after
overcoming difficulties, managed to
tow them close to shore. There it was
necessary TO. sink them by gpnfire
They are now being brought to the
surface, a long, arduous task.
The tanker, q fine vessel. some SOC
feet long and newly built had or
board 10000 tons of oil. and. though
she blazed for four days. half of the
cargo was saved. When thoroughly
repaired. the tanker will be returned
to the United States, not much worse
Tor wear. the damage being estimated

rine iiguring in these days when per-
sons think in millions.

JAPAN PREPARING BIG ARMY
Says German Paper Discussing Inter
yention in Siberia.

| President Wilson will not have
such an easy walkover in Siberia rs
= he thought" says the FranNurter
Zeitung. and II adds: Those who
come unlimited must expect TO meet
opposition"
In spite of the news reports. the
paper says. the Bolsheviki are much
stronger in East Serbia than was
, originally thought. II continues:
in Japan serious fighting Is antici-
pated. Although the Toxic govern
ment did Wilson the favor Of only
mentioning the sending Of few reSi-
ments. she is making preparations on
large scale. An exchange telegram
even states that reservists have been
recalled from China.
1T is evident that the road to ST.
heria cannot he forced by a few resi-
mcnts."
The paper denies the report that
Japanese troops arc already in ST.
IBERIA, and that they have deported
German prisoners, althouGn II auints
that 5000 prisoners fell into the
| CZecho- Slovaks' hands in recent
fight with the Bolsheviki. and will
doubtless be sent to Japan prison
camps.
The paper predicts that the Enten-
te's undertaking in Siberia will de-
velop into serious military mterven-
ton. AS to the problem Of ending the
undertaking or giving Japan a free
hand. the paper argues thus:
perhaps Wilson can no longer
choose, for Japan now wishes to act
The Japanese army was educated In
the German school. If they have n
task before them they must act and
the politicians must remain silent"
| The paper asserts that Siberian in
/ tervcntion is not popular in Japan. or
at least not at present, and argues that
| the Japanese feel the shadow Of
America and do not wish to mix ur
in white mans war. but to be arm
ed for the peace negotiations.
