ITALIANS IN AMERICA WILL
CELEBRATE THIRD ANNiVER-
SARY OF WAR "a OF MAY

The Italians in America, with their
celebration of the third anniversary
of the war on the Twenty-fourth OF
MAY intend to make the Italian name
more popular in America and the
American name more popular in Italy.
Italy has the same ideals and the
same aspirations as America Our
revolution, likewise that of America
was inspired purely by national aspir"
ations. Both revolutions represented
two historical periods tending not to
emancipate casts, but to emancipate
an entire people; they both gave to
the two great communities their own
fatherland and their own faith; both
revolutions indicated to the great
nations the rights of liberty and self
government.
Italy and America have inherited
from their respective revolutions the
same political program, which holds
them steadfast to their principles OF
liberty and democracy. Animated by
such ideals, both countries entered
this struggle on the side of the ag-
crossed in order to protect themsel-

Wonderful Record

In calling attention to the record
made by young lady of the Mardwell
school 1t is not our purpose at all to
unnecessarily fiatter the young lady.
but to show what can be done by a
student when he or she is determined
to do things" At the beginning of
the 1918 term of the Bardwell pub
lie school MBiss Alice Quarles enter
ed school and was put to work in the
fourth grade. But she didn't stay in
that grade long. She completed that
grade, and also the fifth. sixth, sew
enth and eighth grades during the
term, and last Friday and Saturday
she applied for examination in the
common school studies, the examina-
ton being conducted by the county
Board of Examiners. and received a
diploma which entities her to enter
the county High School. Not only did
she pass the required examination,
but she received the highest grade in
the examination that was given and
was complimented by the board on
account of her achievement. Miss
Alice is now preparing herself to
take the examination for teacher in
June, and II she succeeds, which she
will be pretty apt to do, she will have
a record of having gone from the
fourth grade of the public school to
the position Of teacher in less than
year. That is record that any per-
son can well be proud of. and we con-
graduate the young lady on her
splendid success.

whose dear ones are in places of

1t is amusing to notice the different
characteristics of the Irish, Scotch and
English soldiers. The Irish and Scotch
are very impetuous, especially when 1t
comes to bayonet fighting. while the
Englishman, though q trifle slower,
thoroughly does his bit; he is more
methodical and has the grip of bull
dog on captured position. He is
slower to think; that is the reason why
he never knows when he is licked.
Twenty minutes before going over
the top the English Tommy will sit on
the fire step and thoroughly examine
the mechanism of his rifle to see that it
is in working order and will fire prop
erly. After this examination he is sat
isfied and ready to meet the Boches.

Of the Tommies how to play poker, but
because won thirty-five francs they
declared that they didn't ''fawncy" the

Tommy plays few card games; the
general run never heard of poker, eu-
chre, seven up, or pinochle. They have
game similar to pinochle called
"Royal BeziQue," but few know how to
play 1t.
Generally there are two decks Of
cards in a section, and in u short time
they are so dOg-eared and greasy, you
can hardly tell the ace of spades from
the ace Of hearts. The owners of these
decks sometimes condescend to lend
them after much coaxing.

as it was with the Light Brigade at

Neuve Chupelle and Loos. Personally

spits on his sleeve and slowly polishes

is ready to argue with Fritz.
1t is not necessary to mention the

and New Zealanders), the whole world
knows what they have done for Eng

The Australian and New Zealander

Tommy divides the German army
into three classes according to their
fighting abilities. They rank us fol-
lows: Prussians, Bavarians and Sax
onS.
When up against Il Prussian regi-
ment it is a case of keep your napper
below the parupet and duck. A bang
bang all the time and Il war is on. The
Bavarians are little better, but the
Saxons are fairly good sports and are
willing occasionally to behave as gen.
tlemen and take it easy, but you cam
not trust any of them overlong.
AT one point of the line the trenches
We're about thirty-two yards apart.
This sounds horrible, but in fact it was
easy, because neither side could shell
the enemys front-line trench for fear
shells would drop into their own. This
eliminated artillery fire.
In these trenches when up against
the Prussians and Bavarians, Tommy
had II hot time of it, but when the Sax
ons "took over" it was a picnic; they
would yell across that they We're Sax
ons and would not fire. Both sides
would sit on the parapct and carry on
u conversation. This generally consist
ed of Tommy telling them how much
he loved the kaiser, while the Saxons
informed Tommy that King George
was particular friend of theirs and
hoped that he was doing nicely.
When the SaNons We're to be relieved

tumble into his trench and keep his
head down.
Ii an English regiment was to be re-

tell the Saxons, and Immediately vol

be heard and it was Fritz's turn to get
Il crick in his back from STOPPING, and
the people in Berlin would close their
windows.
