HASiSFFN WHAT
 BIG SHELLS DO
Soldier Boy Writes Polk County Folks of the Thrilling Things That Go to Make Up Life on the
 Western Front

Thrills that come. to a soldier en- gagged in modern warfare are graph ically described in a letter Arthur W. Johnson, former Polk county man now Somewhere in France1 has sent his sister, Mrs. P. R. Towery of Hat ton.
 Soldier Johnson writes:
 q am now in sight of the battle front. Have been here two days. can hear the big guns booming away, and can see the flash of them after dark, and have seen hundreds of air. ships. Have seen battles in the air. Can see hundreds of shrapnels burst ing high in air at the airships. went over after supper last night with bunch of soldiers and looked at smashed up British airship that was brought down by the Germans the 18th of July. Two Englishmen lost their lives and were buried on the spot. One French and one German was brought down here on our front yesterday morning.
 Saw Effects of Big Drive.
 Well, last night the Germans were driven back 12 miles in some places. Some of our men and some trucks carried up a pontoon bridge. They were with 200 yards of the front, but they said everything was quiet at the time, only German machine guns and snipers working. Right here where we are camping is where the big drive was about a month ago. Ii is simply torn all to pieces.
 "I have seen q dozen towns that the Americans heavy artillery has torn all to thunder, and driven the Huns away.
 "We rode on trains as far as we could and then rode on trucks to ths l. camps, some ten or twelve miles up 6 pretty valley, but shell holes wer, most everywhere. Graves all around Germans, French and Americans al here in the woods. Where we are ar' sdugouts in German pits. Can set German helmets, old wagons, hant grenades, shells of all calibers, olC rusty rifles and clothing. 1t is a sighf to look around everywhere. We founs TWO German graves late this evening and they were buried so shallow tha their feet were sticking out of tn, ground.
 Hide From Airships.
 Well, you can start out here an, can find our American boys camping everywhere in the woods, under tree and bushes, to keep out of sight a much as they can from the Hun air ships We are in tents, two men t the tent. don't know when We vii go up to the front, but they send u up as they need us. and when ou turn comes. Some of our outfit go ul most every night to do work of som kind, build a bridge, or some wir work, or trench work. 1t is nearly o'clock now, evening, and we will ge the news in the morning again iron the ones that go up tonight gues eur army will s@sfiilll eress the river toHigh;
 "The Germans are retreating, an' we have got to follow up with ou artillery, build roads and so on. The. sure have good roads here.

STOCK LETTER By R. Allyn Lewis

Rallies meet offerings of short and long stocks in various parts of the list. Active stocks seem to be meeting no important support and may not do so until the Liberty loan payment is out of the way. On sharp breaks we think the standard leaders may be bought for turns.
 There still remains a hope that milder weather may relieve the fuel difficulties before it becomes a serious menace to industrial operations. The situation is indeed unique certainly. no concern running at only 50 per cent Of capacity as the steel industry is said to be reduced to at the present time. can continue doing so for any length of time without it's exciting concern of shareholders, as to its effect on earn inss. This is obviously the big card in the hands of the bears at the pres ent time, which in the absenc9 of any material public demand they are uti- lizing with some degree of success in their present campaign against values
 American Fob. sales for Dec and the year 1917 both made new high record gain for the year equal to 27 per cent extra disbursement this could be de- clared but not likely before end of cur rent year.

81 ENLIST FOR WORK
AT MUNITION PLANT

A mass meeting was held at s
o'clock last night at Carpenters
Hall on South Washington at which
Joseph Fronterhouse, in charge OF
the state free employment office,
pointed out the necessity of work
ers cooperating with his office. The
meeting was well attended and Mr..
Fronterhouse succeeded in gaining
the support of all present.
Mr.. Frontrhouse appealed directly
to the carpenters to assist him IN
enlisting men with this trade for
work on a munition plant at Nash
vile. Tenn. Thirty-seven have sign
ed pledges for this work and 1t IS
thought that the remaining Is will
be enlisted in a short time. 1t Is
necessary to enlist fifty men in or
der TO get transportation. The work
is government work and the pay IS
the same as that provided for in the
scale of the carpenters local union
at Nashville. This job will last two
years.
In addition to enlisting carpen-
tiers for this work Mr.. Fronterhouse
has enlisted cooks, stenographers,
etc. for different positions. Mr..
Fronterhouse's object in calling the
mass meeting was to impress on
labor in general that when they
were out OF work to apply to him.

OF AMERICANS-ON
OFFICIAL WAR PAPER
Here's How People of Germany
Are Fed on False Dope to
Keen Up Spirits.

Amsterdam, June 1.-THE
semi official Wolff bureau of Ber-
lin comments in message dated
Monday upon American opera
tions along the front between the
Marne and the Ourcq, claiming
the defeat of the Americans in
sanguinary fighting.
A conspicuous part is attribut-
ed to an American naval bri-
gade" and it is claimed that sue
cessive waves of Americans at
tempting to carry Belleau wood
were virtually wiped out by the
German machine gun and artil-
lery fire, which was withheld un-
til the American troops were
close at hand. The dispatch
"For the first time an Ameri-
can division advanced on July l.
to the attack on the front north
west of Chateau Thierry. The
hottest point was Belleau wood,
where a German regiment infiict-
ed severe losses. 1t repulsed the
Amecans. who got as far as the
edge of the wood in fight at
close quarters with hand grenades
and bayonets.
Nevertheless. parts of an
American division, notably nav
al brigade, advanced again to the
attack at davn on June 8, in sue
cessive waves. We allowed the
enemy to approach closely. Near
the edge of the wood they were
caught in front and on both
fanks by writhing machine gun
and artillery fire.
"Only few of the Americans
escaped by surrender or by hasty
flight towards the rear. Heaps
of American dead lie on the front
of Belleau wood"

GUN ON PASSENGER SHIP
MAKES CLEAN HIT, AP-
PARENTLY, WHEN
ATTACKED.

An Atlantic Port, June 1l.-A
German submarine was attacked
and apparently sunk by British
steamship week ago Sunday
morning off a British port, accord
ing to passengers on the vessel
which arrived here today. A United
States army officer who saw the
single shot fired at the U-boat,
which was only $50 yards away, ex-
pressed the opinion a clean hit was
made.
Two destroyers which accompa-
MED the British liner closed in after
this one-sided combat and dropped
depth charges at the spot where the
submarine had disappeared,
The British vessel was met some
distance from this port by scout
seaplane which escorted her in. The
liner carried l76 passengers. She is
vessel which several times has
been subjected to unsuccessful tor
pedo attacks, and once was shelled
by a U-boat.

London, June ll.-President VII
sons address to Mexican editors in
Washington last Friday is com
mented upon with high appreciation
by the newspapers here.
The Daily News says that Presi-
den Wilson in his speech revealed
himself as the architect OF the
worlds future" The paper eulo-
gizes the presidents and Americas
disinterestedness in the war. which
it says, is testified to not by words
but by acts.
The paper mentions American 10y
alty to the cause OF Russia, which II
describes as one of the redeeming
episodes of the entire war, and urges
other countries which have been
less faithful and less wise to recog-
nize the sagacity as we'll as the jus
tice OF President Wilson's policy in
making the redemption of Russia a
fixed and unalterable purpose Of the
war
The president, says the Daily
Chronicle. has reason for the claim
that the United States is setting a
memorable example of distinterest-
edness, and that such an attitude
takes away ground for suspicion In
seeking a mutual understanding
among nations. The Daily Tele-
graph declares that upon such altru-
ism along can an enduring peace be
founded.
The Times compared the presi-
