MAN LOCKED OUT

NEWSPAPER MAN LOCKED OUT
Editor and Publisher Metcalf of the
Fayette Review is having more troub-
les than usual, and goodness knows
the weekly newspaper mans usual
troubles these days are a-plenty.
Mr.. Metcalf has lease on the Fay
cite Review which we believe has vet
year and nine months to run before
its expiration. Mr.. Chas. Yost, the
owner and one time publisher, is now
the postmaster of Fayette. 1t seems
that the rent is due on this lease on
the first day of the month. Septem-
Der first was on Sunday; the next day,
Monday, was a legal holiday. On
Tuesday morning, when Mr.. Metcalf
attempted to enter his place of busi-
ness he found it locked against him,
and when he rendered Mr.. Yost "a
check in payment of his rent, Mr..
Yost refused to accept it, stating that
he (Mr. Metcalf) was too late, and
forbid him touching or running any
of the machinery in the office. The
office was also locked against Mr.
Metcalf and he was ordered to keep
out.
The Fayette Review did not come
out on time and MP. Metcalf was
unable to get out job work that ne
mad on hand.
We don't live in Fayette, but we
have met Mr.. Metcalf and have al
ways considered him fine fellow. So
far as we know, Mr.. Metcalf is held
in high esteem by the business men
of Fayette.
Mr.. Yost we also have met num-
Der of times; in fact, we had the
pleasure of reading a brochure on
Love" from the pen and press of Mr.
Yost some time ago and we cannot
see how a man who wrote such an
article as this, could possibly wrong
or take undue advantage of brother
man and still remain consistent with
his position as stated in the brochure
on Love" referred to above.
But. there. may be complications
and implications that we know not
of; at any rate, Mr.. Metcalf is IN
trouble, and undoubtedly Mr. Yost IS
or will be in trouble-and, as we said
before, there is trouble enough now
adays for newspaper men lust in the
ordinary "run of the day" without
any extraordinary troubles added; so
we are sorry, and hope that matters
may be adjusted soon and the Review
be permitted to resume its weekly
appearance.

Men UNDER EIGHTEEN may en-

hope to do so through call from +he

in way that gives him forty times
better chance to use his ability in the
most useful way for his country, AS

the cantonment as private. Com

the same direction for the High school

Dear Mr.. Croninger:
believe | promised you almost a
year ago that l would write to you.
That is long time to hold up a
promise, but [ am going to try and
fulfil it now.
l got touched in the elbow some
three weeks ago with machine gun
bullet, and about all 7 can do now is
write little, hold down a bed, and
yell at the nurses when they come
to change it, and at the doctors when
they dress my arm.
War is a fascinating game, but a
hard one. Hard, because of the ner-
vous and physical strain, and the
hardships and discomforts that are a
part of it. l have been pretty for
tunate, though, in my six months at
the front. Our division, when it went
into the line last January, was the
first American unit to enter the
struggle for the United States NY
own regiment was the first American
troons to go over the top in an at
tack when we captured and held Can
tigny last spring. And l went into
the big offensive which the allies
started along the Marne, July 18th,
and lasted four days of it before l
got mine; and was put out of the
running. l have been twice recon-
mended for promotion by my colonel,
but haven't got it. l do not know of
Reserve officer who has been pro-
NOTED in France, except Major Roose-
velt Of course, promotion is beside
the main issue, and l haven't wor-
ried, but l would like to have some
thing tangible to show that I had
made good.
France is beautiful in summer and
the weather is fine. The winters are
bad in northern France, with a super
abundance of rain and mud. The
roads are almost ideal and there is
an abundance of them. Few of them
are straight and one needs to travel
with map in his hand or he will
find himself hopelessly astray. In
fact, a map is an indispensable article
of warfare. One must see them con-
stantly. If I had to give up my pis-
tol or my maps, would part with
the pistol without hesitation.
Paris, think, lives up to its repu-
tation. It is historic, artistic, and
interesting. But above all, it is
pleasing to the eye, with its profu-
sion of trees, its wide streets, and its
many parks and gardens.

a little bit of special entertainment
when a couple of airplanes, probably
the new aero mail planes en- route
from Cleveland to Chicago, passed
over the southern part of town. Both
planes were well up and keeping
due west course. Bryan is the one
landing place between Cleveland and
Chicago. One plane returned Monday
but made no stop at Bryan. Its course
was well south of Wauseon.

STUDENTS ARMY
TRAINING CORPS
War Department Establishes Mill
tary Training School in Oberlin
and Other Colleges to Be Used in
Developing Officers for the Army

Until peace is declared, the War
department has decided to use GER
tain of the colleges of America for
the training of officers. Oberlin col
lege has been officially designated by
the War department as one of the Sc
lect institutions in which the new mil
itary training schools will be located.
High school graduates, IS years Or
over, can now enter college and the
United States army at the same
time. The government will pay their
tuition, board and lodging, furnish
the uniform and give each man a pri-
Yates pay of $50 per month. These
men will be trained as follows in the
new Students Army Training Corps:
Men who are 18 years of age or
over and who are prepared for col
lege are to register with their local
boards on the 18th of September and
enter college at the opening of the
year (September 18th and 18th are
the registration days at Oberlin). On
or about the 1st of October the COM
mander of the College unit will ad-
NIT physically fit men into the S. A.
T. c. by voluntary induction. The
status OF these men will thereafter
be that of private soldiers of the
United States, enlisted for the war,
on active duty. The men may expect
to remain in college until about the
time they would have been summoned
for service if not in school.
In Colleges Under U. S. Army
Discipline
While in college the student SOL
diers will wear the army uniform,
live in barracks, eat together at a
common mess, and be subject in every
respect to the strictest military dis
cipline. Their hours of rising, drill,
recitation, study, meals, recreation,
and retiring, will be prescribed as ex-
actly as those of any soldier in the
regular army and all absences from
prescribed areas will require passes
from the commanding officer. Drill
will occupy eleven hours week; two
courses, one of two hours a week on
military tactics, and one of three
hours on "War Aims" are prescribed
by the War department; regular col
lege studies, to the amount of nine
hours week, take up the rest of the
mems time.
The Course of Study
In this unit of the Students Army
Training Corps Oberlin college can
undertake the training of 425 men.
Freshmen will be held to the War
department three requirements =
drill, tactics and war aims, and to
further requirements of English Com
position and Mathematics (Trigonom-

M|NISTERLNG TO
The LITTLE ONES
Ray of Hope and a Gentle Work
of Love That Radiates From Waa
seOn to the Pacific Coast in the
Person of Mrs. lone Aldrich COnant

Many people in Wauseon remember
lone Aldrich, the daughter of the Mrs.
Mary Aldrich, as a girl and young
lady, and the many who remember
her will be interested and gratified
in reading the following excerpts
from the Santa Monica California;
Outlook, which show the work that
lone, now Mrs. Conant, is doing: A
work of gentle ministry to the "little
Ones" so often passed by in this great
bustling, hustling world of ours; a
work that only gentle, loving wo-
man with spirit of true self-sacri-
flee and high order of ability can
do.
Mrs. Conant is possessed of the
same splendid spirit Of helpfulness
that is so evident in her grand
mother, Mrs. Julia G. Aldrich, and as
well, in her mother; so we feel that
we are justified in saying that the
good work spoken of herein is rad
iation from Wauseon and Fulton
county, and naturally we are proud
both of the work itself and of the
medium through which the. work is
accomplished.
81 wonder how many of the folks
4 Santa Monica know about the very
wonderful institution at S29 Arizona
lvenue, where a beautiful and ecicient
yoSng woman has opened home for
sub-normal and defective girls, who
are mentally incapable of entering
the public schools. She is Mrs. lone
Conant, and she calls her place the
Santa Monica Home School for Girls,
and she is one of those women wno
are helping the human family-a part
of it that IS unfortunate-to become
of use in the world.
"Inside the walls of the spacious
friendly house is a little world which
belongs to these girls and the kindly
woman who loves them. They are chill
dren who have not had fair chance
in the world. Brains are stunted, in
tellects undeveloped, bodies and minds
feeble = and the great world doesn't
care about them. But to Mrs. Conant
they are more in need of help and
love than their more fortunate sis
ters, and it is a pleasant duty for
her to illuminate the pathway OF
these little lifes' travellers, that have
somehow missed the happy broad
roads. She aids them to avoid pit
falls. she shows them there is enough
happiness to go around, and they may
have their share.
"These' are children that need such

-FOUR DAYS. FIGHTING
Lieutenant L. G. Andrews Writes of the First American
Troops Over the Top-Impressions of France
and The French Wounded But Fortunate

French people, when | first came over,
but as you learn them better, you
cannot help but admire them. They
are courageous, cheerful, courteous.
They are whole-heartedly polite; you
feel that they are not going to smile
at you when your balk is turned, as
is so often the case among Ameri-
cans. They all seem to have an in
stinctive vein of good breeding. As
an instance of this | will give you an
incident as one of the doctors here
related it to me: Some of our sol
diers who had died here were being
carried from the hospital. There
were a number of Frenchhen in the
street, mostly of the poorer class. AS
the dead passed by them, off came
every hat, not uncertainty, and one
at a time, but impulsively.
They are sincerely anxious and
willing to help you in any way they
can. Last spring was in Toul and
wanted to get a check cashed. took
it to the Banque de France. It was
the day after Easter, which happened
to be French holiday, and the bank
was closed. l ran across the cashier
in front of the bank, and although
the bank was locked and the safe was
locked-fortunately not with a time
lock-he took me in, and cashed the
check.
Well, this has been something of
personal letter, inasmuch as I have
written pretty largely about myself.
It will probably sound a bit formal,
too, for find it hard to be CONVEX
sational in letter. However, I hope
it may be of some little interest to
you.
Give my best regards to those
whom I know about town. think
about the States, friends, and home
very often and they seem very far
away in space, but they are nearer
and dearer than ever in my affections.
would be glad to have you answer
this if you care to.
