lays. That yell through the thirty
mile COLUMN Of Grants troops could
be heard (arnJes were nearer to-
gether than they are today and was
heard through the ranks of the army
of Northern Virginia.
1t was a shout that meant the end
of the war. we all realized that II
there was with the armies, and with
the citizens behind the armies, pa
tience and persistence, we we're
bound TO win out. :. Grants policy
meant patient, persistent, untiring eff
fort for the army. and the army ac-
cepted the decision with approval
and With enthusiasm. The spirit OF
Grant and Of his army, expressing as
1t did the patient courage of the
President, the great Captain, infused
itself into the souls OF the whole
tpeople.
If the North would hold firm to its
purpose, the unity of the Republic
could be preserved. 1t was clear
after this campaign, that the North
was to bold firm. There was still
m07khs Of fighting before the deci-
sion Of Appomattox, but the result
was really clear when the guidon
Tag was turned into the road that
led to the night. This holding to the
right was evidence that there was to
be no fiscoaragement, no break in
the efforts until the war was ended.
The condition of the fight today
between the allies, who are protect
ing civilization against the assaults
of barbarian organized by the SCI
renee OF the Twentieth century, is IN
eco in oways similar TO that in our
CiviI<Vv4sr after the defeat Of Chan
cellorsyiNs, In June, 1868, or after
the checks in the Wilderness and at
Cold Harbor in June, 1864.
The welb organized forces of the
HHnS hold their own and good deal
| more that their own. The losses in
life and In treasure. and in the saw
ings of the world. have been enor-
nous.
Wm Now an Issue of Will Power
The people who are banded to-
gether in this fight for liberty against

]mit themselves to be discouraged or
stS Ntheir efforts. II they maintain

in train, It is certain that with the
righteous cause and with the largest
resources, they must in the end pre-
vafl.
The worlds war has now resolved
Itself into an issue of will power.
The peoples who are fighting for the
liberty OF the world must be able to
show an assured purpose and con-
victior and to back up that convic-
ton with action nj such fashion that
the forces which have attempted to
secure the domination Of Europe and
Of the world shall be driven back.
1t ia clear that these forces have al
ready failed In their original purpose.
They must be 80 overcome that rep

Trench and camp. ([Admiral, Md.) 1917-1919, 1918-01-30

In June, 1864, the army OF Gen.
eral Grant, Which had Tor eight days
been Ia constant conflict, emerged
from the wilderness into the COM
paratiye1y open country. on the east.
Between Bp0ttsyivania and Cold Har.
Dor, there came a fork in the road.
The left FORK led north eastward to
the Potomac, while the right fork was
directed southeast towards the en-
entertainments Of Richmond and Pc
tersburg.
The preceding eight days, and a
been spent "a constant battling.
There had been little sleep for the
troops On either side of th@ line, and
for d large part OF the time'there had
been interruption with the rations.
18th armies had suffered heavy
losses and the meA were. naturally
and properly, exhausted.
In the previous campaigns of the
armies Of the Potomac ~When, after
some days Of fighting, no substantial
gain had been made, IT had been the
practice to withdraw the troops from
Ne fighting line to some base line
where rest and SecuperatioA could be
secured. The army was marching
left in 7ro1t In its constant endeavor
TO get Id between the right OF Lees
line and Lees base at Richmond, but
the stubborn soldiers of the army OF
Northern Virginia, under the lead OF
their resourceful commandeS, had,
through the preceding eight days
been able. &with the advantage of in
terror lines and of entertainments, to
keep themselves between our troops
and the approaches to Richmond.
As the first brigade .debouched

adjutant, or chief of staff, knew what
were the orders for the direction of
the column.

continuous.
The road to the right meant 2 con-
tinuation of these risks, more fatigue,
more broken nights and toilsome
days.
The troops might we'll lave hooked
with eagerness for a chance for a
break in their tremendous exerttons.
A Shout Heard Thirty Miles
When, however, the brigade guild
ons were, under the direction of the
commander. thrown forward on the
road leading to the right-the road
that meant further fighting, further
fatigue, and peril, a. shout of APP

arst brigade which rolled backward
through the column for thirty miles
of its extension to the westward.
Through all the divisions went the
word. I'VE az going on to Rich

with full approval the policy of their
persistent and forceful commander

winds and. thereby keeping the body
warm where it is least protected and
where it is most difficult to apply ex-
ira clothing. The upper part of the
body is also kept warm owing to the
stoppage of the free circulation Of
cold air which always finds its way
up under the skirts of the regulation
coat.
Ample ease is provided for free
movement and sitting purposes when
the coat is converted, and it is no
impediment to a man when crawling
on his hands and knees. The Mod
ffication" is applicable to coats of
knee length or longer.
The application of the 'Prestwich
Modification" during severe weather,
makes the coat admirably adaptable
to all usage other than marching. In
the trenches, transport and artillery
service, motor driving, motor cycling,
sentry duty, sleeping and sitting
around camp, this coat, by keeping
the legs warm, is also of great assist
ance IN alternating the suffering Of
cold fetal varieties.

Here are four drawings of what is
called the "Prestwich Modification"
of the regulation army oveFcoat,
which is said to add 400 per cent to
the warmth Of an overcoat without
additional material or weight. The
trick of making vent in the lower
part Of the skirt Of the overcoat and
wrapping 1t around the legs is illus
trated by the drawings, made from
life. The vent is closed by means Of
a tongue to which snap fasteners and
q button are attached for holding it
together.
This overcoat is in no way differ
ent from the regulation pattern
with the exception of diagonal vent
or slit at the fork line. In ordinary
cool weather the coat should be worn
in the regular way, but in severe
weather it can be converted, at will,
into one of aviation type, closing in

By Associated Pess.

W,.,l the American Army on the
Vesle Front, Aug. 2.-The dlmln-
ished activity of the German army
north Of the Vesle today gave rise
to the suspicion that the enemy was
preparing to abandon the ground
south of the Aisne before being COM
PEELED to do so by the rapidly men
acing allied flank movement north
of Scissors.
Observers reported today that the
German long range cannon north OF
the Aisne were firing in the direc-.
ton of Scissors. They also reported
seeing smoke from fires which burned
all night at various points between
the Vesle and the Aisne.
Prisoners recently taken declare
they are unable to explain these tlres'
which have been burning for three
days. Belief is growing here that
the Germans are being forced to
withdraw north of the Vesle.

TEXAS PASSES TO
DRY" LIST TODAY
NOT A SALOON, BREWERY OR
DISTILLERY LAWFULLY IN
OPERATION NOW.

Austin, Texas, June 26.-Texas be-
came officially dry" today when a bill
enacted by special session OF the
legislature and which prohibits the
manufacture or sale of intoxicants
within the state became a law. The
remaining saloons-inumbering be-
tween 300 and 400, according to rec
ords in the comptroller's office which
were outside the limits prescribed by
the 10 mile zone around camps Of
military instruction, are thus Danish
ed.
Not saloon, brewery or distillery
remains lawfully in operation in the
state
Both interstate and interstate ship
ments of liquor are prohibited by an
other law enacted by the Legislature.
The only way any Texan can get
liquor without violating the law is to
go out of the state, purchase 1t and
bring it back himself for his personal
use.
1t is expected that constitutionality
of the law will he tested. But since
the higher courts of the state recess
for their simmer vacation the last Of
the present month, and do not con.
vene again until October, court ac-
ton designed to interrupt enforce
ment of the law map not be taken for
several months.
The chief contention against the
laws constitutionality is that it VIC
lates that provision which aecords To-
cal option to counties.
The law permits the use of alcoho-
| lie stimulants as medicines "in case
! of actual sickness" if purchased on
written prescription of physician
Use of alcohol also is permitted for
sacramental, scientific or mechanical
purposes.
Violations Of any provisions Of the
act constitutes a felony and invilves
penitentiary sentence of one to five
years.

who had been in Europe except for
