the proposition that the Allies must

Washington, June 2e. - A year

Behind this million another
million men are in camps and can

further divisions sail for the front.
American troops will have the

French in the center and the Brit
ish on the left. The American
trenches extend from near the

four years of war or nearly, ones inn
pressions are dulled by the familiarity
OF 1t all-gunners watering their horses,
sentries guarding ammunition dumps,
columns of troops on the roads, divi-
sional bands practicing in the farm
yards Of dilapidated villages. heavy. guns
crawling on caterpillars up long, straight
roads between avenues Of poplars and
market squares, and men working like
ants among ant heaps. which are
trenches and gun positions in the chalky
earth, where weeds grow richly and
fresh-made pits show where the latest
shells have fallen.
That is the general background of
soldiers lives, as have described IL in
detail so often. and day after day goes
by and 1t never changes, though the
men change and new men come out
to take the places Of those who pass.

Madonna Of Albert Falls
The falling of the Madonna of Albert
was an event which made a difference to
the men who had seen that queer freak

had come across the battlefelds up the

highway Of the enemy. Something is
missing from ones mental vision now

and fell with crash in a short bonn
bardment.
German guns were active Monday also
on the Hazebrouck front, and up in
Elamertinghe and Ypres. where no
amount of shelling will make much diff
ference to- the view of things. The
British guns were fairly busy in reply
and the British airmen have been out

You Can Help

TELEPHONE service is an important
i agency in the country's war program.
The use and demands for telephone
service have increased tremendously
The great task which we, as a part of the
National machinery are shouldering is being
carried forward successfully; but we may
serve still more broadly if the public will CO.
operate in its use Of telephone service as it is
cooperating in the conservation of food and in
the prevention of waste.
You will observe that the operator repeats the
number. This is in order that you may correct
her if she has misunderstood. If she repeats
it correctly. please say eyes" or Right; if
incorrectly, tell her the correct number before
she completes the connection. ~.
Telephone users can prevent waste of time,
service and telephone facilities generally if
they will always verify the telephone numbers
before calling and make sure that the operator
has understood. Wrong-number calls and the
possible tie-up of telephone equipment over
unnecessarily long periods will thus be avoided.
