WHAT ONE GERMAN SAYS

Jacob Gratis of Auburn, Neb., a
German by birth, says:
II have seen several articles about
Germans trying to raise strife in this
country. / am a German by birth
and I am an American heart and
hand. / will tell you why / left
Germany: There were ten in our
family and we were poor like most
of my countrymen from the oppres-
sion, and it was hard matter to
keep the wolf from the door. When
/ landed in this country and went
to work 1 received more money for
one months work than got in Ger
many for one years work. / sent
for my folks and l am proud to say
they are all true American citizens,
and will answer the presidents call
to arms against Gel many or any
other country when needed.
"I don't see how my countrymen
can go back on Uncle Sam. They
came here without cent and made
money here; now they want to fight
the country that feeds them. The
kaiser never did anything for them
or me. II he had we would be back
there yet; All he did was to start
this cruel war and starve our people
there and make soldiers out of every
body and force them to work for his
dirty 12 cents per day with fourth
of pound of meat and loaf of
black bread. / hope to see the day
when he is licked out of Germany
and a president put in his place.
You don't see any Americans going
over there for jobs or to any other
country. They are happy here and
don't owe allegiance to any king or
kaiser. I hope Uncle Sam will win"

PROPOSE GROUPS
FOR REGISTRANTS
UNDER new LAW
Would Divide Registration Into Three
Glasses Calling 81 TO 35 First
Senate Takes Up Measure.

Washington, August 22-Four i'm
portant amendments to the Admins
tration man-power bill were offered
in the Senate this afternoon by Sena-
tor Cummins of Iowa The first
would provide for registration of men
liable to military service under the
bill in three groups. The first group
would take in those from 81 to 35, in
elusive, and in addition, the 2O-year-
old class; the second, to be called
when, in the opinion of the President
more of the men are necessary, would
take those from SO to 40 and those of
10. The last group would include those
of IS, and would be registered only
when, in the Presidents opinion, still
more men are necessary.
In the House, Chairman Dent of
the Military committee was unable to
obtain unanimous consent to limit de-
bate, He gave notice that he pro-
posed to keep the House in continu-
GUS session, beginning tomorrow un-
til the bill was passed.
Chairman Chamberlain opened the
discussion on the Senate floor with
statement that, while many protests
against the new draft ages had been
received, military necessity required
that the age limits be both raised and
lowered.
Senator Chamberlain made Wig
orous argument for the wo"l5-cr-f ght
amendment, declaring men at home
should work or join the army since
the soldiers have to fight for $50 a
month and get shot if they disobey
orders.
Citing precedents dating back to
the revolution for calling out men is
TO As, the Oregon senator said. "This
pussyfoot policy of getting over q
few men now and few more later
has already delayed prosecution of
the war;" and that he wanted to see
an American army under American
command and under the American
flag at the front.
Other amendments proposed for the
man-power bill were: To permit the
exemption of men engaged in "some
other productive occupation, employ
ment or business deemed necessary: !"
prohibit men within draft ages to
leave the country for more than a
week in order to engage in labor else
where and provide that an adequate
number of men should remain in civil
employment necessary to produce
supplies and other necessities.

TOBACCO PATCH ON FIRE

The unusual spectacle of a patch
of growing tobacco on fire was wit
messed a few days ago on the farm OF
August Deitz, west of Dover.
A passing train threw fire into the
tobacco field of Mr.. Deitz and Her
man Thomas, which caught in the
dry ground leaves" of the plants
deadened and dried up by the eX-
cessive drouth prevailing. The fire
spread from plant to plant and soon
would have reached a large tobacco
barn had it not been discovered and
eXtinguished in time.
The patch is perfectly free from
weeds and grass and the tobacco
alone furnished fuel for the spread
of the fire, which had burned over &
considerable area before it was dis
covered.-Dover News.

TOWN OF ALBERT
CAPTURED BY
FORCES OF HAIG
British Steadily Gaining Ground and
One Thousand Prisoners Are
Taken-COunter Attacks
Broken Down.

With the British Armies in France,
August 22-The town of Albert is Of
ficially reported to have fallen into
the hands of the British.
The British are steadily driving in
to the German positions on the high
ground today, between Bray-Sur-
Somme and Albert One thousand
Germans were taken prisoners.
Along the Arras-Albert railway en-
bankment and on both sides of it
heavy fighting continues.
On the northern half of the battle
front, the British stormed the enemy
positions and captured them, in1ict-
ing terrible losses on the enemy They
then pushed eastward at various
points. They occupied Hamelin-court
trench, well to the east of the en-
bankment and were reaching similarly
at other points, at the same time beat
ing down desperate attacks launched
by the enemy in an effort to regain his
valuable lost positions.
A counter attack this afternoon
north of Courcelles was completely
broken down by the British before the
Boche gained a single foot of ground
despite his evident determination to
do so. The value of position along the
embankment can readily be seen: the
country is fiat except for high made
% order ridge which overlooks and
controls considerable ground on eth
er side of it.
To the south from Achiet-Le- Grand
to the Ancre, the armies in battle have
been sweeping backwards and for
wards, attacks and counter attacks
being repeated again and again.
The British patrols have been in
Miramount but at the moment the
British lines are actually a few hun
dred yards west of that town, in the
neighborhood of Bureaugard and
Dovecote, on the road between Mirau-
mont and Puisseux-Au-Mont.
Word has just been received that
The Germans launched another vicious
counter attack against the British po-
sitions on the outskirts of Miramont
but were driven off after sharp fight
ing. In the face of streams of bull
lets from blazing machine guns the
German ranks withered or were dis
persed.
