EAGLE OF PRUSSIA
VOW STRONG ALLY
Victory Bird Deserts Hun on Eve OF
Disastrous Offensive.

when you COME Go look back on IL.
it seems a long time since the last
German offensive-the one that blew

dating from that time that is good
enough TO be worth telling still
That offensive began. you will re-

Bastille Day. On Bastille Day itself
a group Of pOilus and Yanks were
celebrating in a little town not far
behind the lines. The Yanks were
doing their part by pitching sous into
tin can when a big eagle swoOped
down from the north and alighted on
the ridgepole OF a barn. He was so
black and rapacious and altogether
militaristic in appearance that he

squarely out Of the Prussian coat OF
arms.

WINTER WILL FIND BELGIUM
AND NORTHERN FRANCE FREE
Such is Prediction OF Military Critics
in ACKNOWLEDGEMENTS is Too
Much for the Germans to Stand.

Winter will find Belgium and nor
thern France out of the grasp OF the
Teuton. Military authorities in Wash
ington made this prediction yesterday
as the retreat of the Germans east
ward from the LaBasse canal began.
Hammered by untiring legions, in
cluding vast reserves. the German
retirement is likely TO be extensive,
probably as far as Antwerp. Already
the enemy is shifting his U-Boat ba-
ses out OF Belgium and is preparing
TO save what he can in the country
ruthlessly trampled in 1914.
The objective OF the American-al-
lied forces since the Marne turning
point battle has been the wrecking OF
the German army.
Yesterday ii was the belief that
a chance for the attainment of that
object will come far sooner than has
been anticipated In any event il is the
opinion that the retreat in prospect
contains many elements OF extreme
danger to the Boche.

MAJOR CALLS BURkS;
THEN HE REMEMBERS.
Story OF a Faithful Orderly Who Did
Not Stay Behind to Tend to Chiefs
Equipment.

When the American regiment that
took and held the town Of Sergy came
into the forest 10 get its breath,
the men Of the third battalion noted
hcw, again and again. their major
would forget for a moment and call
for Burks
Where had Burks put this and what
would Burks say 70 that? Then you
could tell by the look in his eyes that
he was thinking how in the height Of
battle. he had lost his shadow There
was no Burks and never would be
again.
Private Charles r. Burks Of NAL
vern, Iowa. had been the majors or
DERBY from the beginning. Wherever
the major went. there Burks went,
too.
II was one OF the bywords OF the
regiment that whenever the major
straying far from battalion headQuar-
! ters on some mission. would suddenly
think OF something he wished he had
brought along. Burks was sure tC
/ walk from around a tree or emerge
from a dugout with that something
in his hand.
No one was surprised when thos'
five bitter days which finally drove
the German from the heights beyond
the Ourcq found the major always il
the very front. and il was taken as
matter OF course tat Burks should b.
there also.
Other orderlies might have pointe'
out TO him that he didn't have to b.
there. that he was doing his full reg

and tend 10 his equipment. No on

ALLIES MAY RETALIATE
FOR Hun DESTRUCTION
Reprisals for Burning OF Evacuated
Cities and WantOn Destruction OF
Property is Being Demanded.

An ultimatum to Germany regard
ing the ruthless destruction of cities
and private property in northern
France and Belgium is being urged
OF the allies and the United States and
is under consideration.
The burning of Cambria and St.
Quentin and the devastation of one
of the most populous regions of Eu-
rope as the Germans retreat, has
aroused great Indignation and it is
said in diplomatic circles that Germa-
nv will be warned soon that If she al
lows the work of destruction to con-
tinue. severe reprisals will follow.
It is suggested that the cities OF
the Rhine should be marked for de-
struction and the Berlin government
told that for every French and Bel
gian city ruined without military rea-
son. a city equally important and val
liable sentimentally and materially
will be laid waste.
An official dispatch from Paris yes
terday quotes the Petit Parisien as
follows:
Cambria is burning. This is the
new crime accomplished by these
great destroyers of life Cambria, the
historical city. with all her memorie:
of the past; Cambria, the modern
town, with its industries. is falling

whirlwind of sparks and flames. Cam
bria is at the present moment bu

PERSHINGS HUSTLING JASBOS
LAY. THEIR GUNS TRUE
Artillerymen Take Satisfaction When
Noting Accuracy of Their Fire in
Following Retreating Huns.

American artillerymen have found
at least two thrills in their work in
the big advance starting at Chateau
Thierry, says the Stars and Stripes,
the official paper of the Yanks pub
lished in France
NO said young lieutenant. Il
didn't see our shells hit, but that didn't
matter 1t was even more fun the way
It worked out
you see, first We would do all our
map reading and orienting and then
send our data for adjustment on a GER
tain crossroad or certain part of the
village ahead. Either target might be
4 or 5 kilometers away. Then we'd op-
en- fire and very likely a few minutes
later we'd move on with the advance.
Where did the thrill come in? Why.
in coming up TO that crossroad or town
you had been shooting at and finding
the spot blown up-nothing but a
hole where the crossroad was and
nothing but scattered brick where the
house once stood.
Thrills There's nothing like il
when you come up and find you haC
it doped to a square foot from five
kilometers away.
That isn't the only thrill this las
rush produced. On at least two Occa
sions word was passed to the ligh
artillery that just over outlying crest!
in a ridge of woods beyond. machin,
gun nests had been spotted by for
ward observers who were on the job
"The prettiest sight I've seen in thi
war" said one of the observers. wa

lay back to spray the machine gun
with indirect fire from the map? No
even a second. When it got the word
the horses came up near the to-
on a gallOp. the guns were rushel
right to the crest almost before tn
astonished Huns knew what was com
ing. With direct fire the horse an
light raked them almost as effectivel
as riflemen could do.
ION each occasion the light artil
lery secured its range and directiO
with amazing quickness and the ma
chine gun nests were blown int
fragments, leaving the infantry al
easy and safe jaunt across the wa

CHILDREN RESPOND TO THE
PRESIDENTS CALL.

Cavett and Kathalee Cum
minis have just finished the
back breaking job of gathering
by hand 27 acres of beans
they raised this year TO help
bean the kaiser" These beans
they planted after a crop Of
wheat had burned up from
heat and drouth. The beans
made an excellent crop on the
whole. These young soldiers
have worked early and late. On
certain days last week they put
in eight hours Of labor before
noon at work that would make
lots of men shrink from doing
on account Of its being so
hard on the back. They began
their work at 4 a. m. some
days when cold and damp,
without breakfast, and yent out
after supper with lanterns, at
times. The last bush OF beans
was pulled Saturday morn
ing at $40 a. m. by Kathalee,
aged II years. Such devotion
and effort on the part of two
children should not pass with
out notice. Compare their ef-
fort with that Of a full grown
man jarring loose from $50 to
loan to the government on. the
best security in the world. What
these children have raised they
have also saved. Advantage of
the weather was taken a. all
times. and cleaning was prac-
ticed to the limit. Threshing
will begin this week and the
Press will be very glad to an
nounce to the other boys and
girls Of the county, and to the
public, the result in bushels or
pounds of their summers la
bors. The young patriots de-
serve the commendatioin of all
the effort they have put forth.
