With the American Army in
France Cby maiI. May h-It's hard
to see ones friends die ''over here. "
Not many weeks ago ] wrote a
story about the first American bat
talon that was sent into the trenches
In Lorraine to hold, permanently, a
sectoS Of that front; and in my story
I spoke particularly Of one officer
who, above every other officer I've
met in France, considered most
capable of leading our boys in ac-
tuaI battle.
In 1898, he was a boy In his early
twenties down in Tennessee; and
when the call came for troops for
the standardization war he volun'
teered as a private and was sent
to Cuba. At the close OF the wal
be was a sergeant. In his veins flow
ed the blood of a long line Of fight
ers. He chose the army for a life
career and was sent to the Philip
pines as a lieutenant.
Quick Promotion.
He had advanced to the grade OF
captain in the American army by
1914 when the present great war be-
gan.
A high British general had had
chance. during a tour of the Philip
pines, to see this American officer on
duty at close range and he was SC
struck by his soldierly qualities thai
he recommended that a commission
in the British army be given him.
Capt. Blain threw in his fortunes
with the British and up to October
| of last year, when Gen. Pershing In
duced him to come over to the Amer
lean army with a commission a:
major. he had fought in Flanders
France, the Balkans and Italy, anC
! had a total OF seventeen wounds tC
show for his more than three Year,
of service.
The night he led our boys into tht
trenches 1 stood beside the horse or
which he was mounted and talked
with him.
These are my people," he said. in
dicating the endless stream of Amer
lean boys who were marching past
him. II never would have felt righI
If I had not quit the British army
and come over to my own. A mar

the interests Of his own country arr

Graves Alike.
Only yesterday l stood beside the
grave of this wonderful American
soldier and placed a wreath Of flowers
on the rough wooden slab that served
as a head-piece. All that was writer
on the slab was: Lieut.. Col Blank

There was no other distinguishing
marks-nothing to make it more con
| spicuous from a number of other
| new-made graves that fianked 1t or
either side-graves of privates, cor
porals. sergeants, Iieutenants and a
few captains.
The Colonel had been buried as he
would have wished to be buried: with

GRAIN.

Chicago, July 25.-Corn prices
showed weakness today as a result
of the failure of frost predictions
and to favorable predictions in the
east. Opening prices which ranged
from Sd cent to | IL cents lower,
with August Sl.54 to $l.5+ IL, and
September $l.54 rs to $l.55 II,
were followed by decided further
sctbacks and then by something Of

Opinions that sharp curtail-
ment of receipts was impending,
stimulated a temporary demand, bat
was offset later by bearish crop ad-
vices. cheering military news and
by renewed peace talk. rnc close

CHANCE TO GO OVERSEAS.
Employment Office Asked to En-
list Special Class,

The federal-state employment Of
flee, 200 IL West Main street, has
received orders in regard to enlist
ing certain classes of mechanics
probably for oversee duty.
An indefinite number of refrig-
Grafton engineers, steam engineers
chemical workers mot chemists },
and electricians are wanted. The
rate of pay for these men is $50
per month, the regulation army
pay, for privates, with certain al
lowances for dependents. Promo
tions are made to non-commission-
ed ranks and there is always, OF
course, a chance for commission.
These men must be high class in
their line and anyone desiring to
enlist for this work should report at
the federal-state employment office
and make application.
Numerous applications are COM
ing in for work on the government
munition plant at Nashville, and an
other shipment will be made to that
place Sunday. Approximately 100
men will leave with this shipment.
Only carpenters and laborers will
be accepted for this shipment.
Local work is very scarce and
the office finds it difficult to provide
employment for applicants who do
not desire to leave town.

Enlarged Government Power.

Case and Comment Is the pres
cnt widening of the area OF state
control a mere phenomenon OF war,
or is it a radical change in the re-
lations of the government and the
individual? If, in crisis like that
produced by the war, these new
powers are necessary to govern
ment, will not the people demand
that they be retained when war is
needed? If it is a good thing for the
public welfare to fix the price OF
fuel and food by government edict
in war time, why not in peace
time? These questions must be an
swered. They will be. Not, per-
haps, as any one school of political
thinkers or prophets wants them to
be answered, but with very definite
precision will that answer be writ
ten in the moving current of events
that is now carrying along the peo-
pies of the world, hurrying them
into new modes of thought and ac-
tions almost before they are aware
of it. The nations of the world will
never 60 back to the place where
they were when the war began.
That is the answer to the question.
They may go part way back, some
of them will recede farther than
others, but none will go back to the
conditions.
