TELLS OF FIGHTING
EXPERIENCES

! A Committee on Public Information
representative in London says:
/ There are no better sportsmen in
the world than the allied airmen, and
American aviators now fighting in
Europe always, play a fair game, as
they learn it from the allies. f. p.
Magoun, former Harvard student,
now a member of the Royal air force
recently wounded, tells how the lives
of German observers escaping from
balloons have been spared.
1--WE caught three Hun balloons
above the allied grounds in mist,
which prevented thoir gunners see
ing u.s. said he. 1T was a cinch.
You should have seen them hustle
out their parachuutes and abandon
the balloons. AS they came falling
down through the air we circled
about closely but, of course, didn't
open fire, as that's against the rules
of the game. AS soon as they touch
ed ground they took cover like rab-
bits"

bombs for low attack in the recent

of companion in his squadron who

TWO BILL LION IN
WAR SAVING STAMPS.

The Government must have two
billion dollars from the people of the
United States thru the purchase OF
war savings STAMPS during the year
1918. and We are going to purchase
that amount and more too.
Friday, June 2S,h IS National War
Savings Day. This day has been Off
cially set, and it is hoped and ex-
cted hat ON or before that day,
the people of America will have
pledged themselves to by two bill
lion dollars worth of War Saving
Stamps for the Year 1918.
The Government must have money
TO carry en- the war and must get
this money through taxation; through
the sale of Liberty BONDS or thru
the peoples investment in War Saw
ilgs Stamps. 1t IS ess- initial that the
quota for the Nation be pledged now,
altho it may not all be paid for at
once Heretofore the purchase of
War Saving Stamps has been lett
to the children. This IS all very
good so far as it goes, and We sti
strongly advocate the plan of chil6rel
putting their savings into Govern
ment War Saving STAMPS; but the
time has now come when we can
not leave this all for the children
to do. Tho exact quota according to-
population has been set. 1t is $4,000
average for each American man, wo-
man and child. This means the limit,
$1,000 each for those who can, to
average up those who cannot. 1T
should not be considered that the
Government is asking any favors or
that it is in any sense a donation.
1t is simply giving dollar for dollar
with interest added.

A MESSAGE OF CHEER TO
FATHERS AND MOTHERS.

A copyrighted dispatch from the
New York Times correspondent witt
tn American expeditionary force in
France, published by the Times,
April 5, says:
''On the eve of the departure Of
the United States forces for the
plairs of Picardy to take part ir
the great struggle, Maj. ]. M. T.
Finney of Johns Hopkins, command
ing the surgical work of the Ameri-.
can expeditionary force, asked the
New York Times to say to the moth
ers and fathers of the American sol
oiers that those who are wounded
will get the best attention the most
advanced medical and surgical sci
ence of the world can give:
'Worl0l-famed surgeons will accom-
pany the American fighters. They
will have the fullest equipment and
the best facilities possible. 1t is ad
mittedl that the armies of the Unit
ed States forces now in France have
the best medical and surgical equip.
ment of all The medical service of
the army is organized fully. The
American Red Cross has enormous
facilities and is ready to supply any
lack of equipment and materials.

shown that the Americans have an es
cellent disregard Of shellfire, so far
as morale goes, but mind the gas
more The men who go have had
the most training In gas warfare. On
this point, DIR. Finney said:
1t is also proper to remind the
folks back home that the experience
of the British army shows that 95
per cent of the men wounded re-
turn well to the battle trent Our
record will be at least as good

a relatively small percentage of the
soldiers in the gassed areas are

In every instance where the Ameri-
can boys are mentioned as taking
any active part in fight at the front,
they seem to be victorious and flu
of pluck. This is mighty graf flying
to the American people and tends
to stimulate them in doing their
part at home, and We are quite sure
that when our boys hear of the
promptness of the peole at home i'm
doing their part, it gives them just
little more courage.

Poor Doc Under shell Fire.

In a letter describing the behavior
of domestic animals under fire a sol.
der says: A big black mongrel came
into our improvised trench late one
afternoon. He had survived a terrific
ten hours bombardment of shell and
gas and sank down by my side utterly
exhausted. His body became inert
and nothing, not even the tenderest
bits of bully beef, would make him
move His brown eyes looked mourn
fully into mine as If longing to tell
M something. Just then the Boche
commenced strafing, and at every ex-
plosion a SILVER ran through his body.
I do not know what became of the
poor beast. There was an engagement
soon afterward and this big black
mongrel disappeared.

Watch Chains Disappear.


a London (England) West end jew
eler says that two things seem to be
passing out of fashion owing to the
war-watch chains and cuff links.
Both these articles were on the
wane before the war, but wrist
watches, being essential for officers,
brought them quickly to the fore, and
civilians have been rushing to buy
them, in many instances selling their
watches and chains to buy the handler
time piece.
So with links. The soft double cuff,
which was such a nuisance to get them
into. began their downfall and then
khaki shirts made to button at the
wrist completed 1t. Now one sees even
the best dressed men with shirt cuffs
buttoned at the wrist, and the links
are put away in the drawer with the

Fortress Of Verdun Like Modern City.
The fortress of Verdun, which was
built by Napoleon, but was modernized
and rebuilt during 1ss2-1S90, now has
all the co~nveniences of a modern city,
says Hamilton Holt In an article on
"Verdun, the Greatest Battlefield" in
Independent. 1t is electrically lighted
and there is enough electricity
generated in addition to what the cit
adel needs to supply the whole city
of Verdun If necessary. 1t has nearly
five miles of gallery. 1t boasts of a
mill that makes the bread, and store
houses sufficient to hold the food re-
serves for 10000 people six months. 1t
Is II meters under the solid rock and
is practically shell proof. Verdun itself
is above 1t. During the bombardment
of 1915-1916 the heaviest shells
cracked the roof in places and the
water leaked through here and there,
but there is no danger of its being
demolished by any guns now In use.
The excavated city is down about the
level of the Mouse river, which runs
through the town, and there is in con-
sequence an elaborate pumping sys-
tenn Installed in case of any flooding.
