 The results were magnificent be- cause the preparations were magnif- icent. Pershing's plant worked like formula on blackboard-like the mechanism of a faultless time piece. The eternally quoted Napoleon said (among fifty thousand other aphor- isms credited to him) "A battle IS a series of blunders and the general wins who makes the fewest." Good enough doctrine for Napoleon's day, but not for the era of the cash regis ter and mechanical calculator. Per- shing's lines moved like clockwork because his equipment was nearly perfect, hence the surprisingly low casualty list. The dollars that bought the maps, telephone wires and other supplies saved American lives.

HARPER MARkLEY DIES

Miss Emma Clark. received tele- gram from Los Angeles, California. Tuesday evening announcing ~the death of Harter Markley. Two weeks ago when MT. Markley was here with his family, the baby swal- lowed an open safety pin and they hurried with her to Memphis to have an X-ray examination made and find the position of the pin. It was decided after they got to Memphis that the best plan would be to go immediately to their home in Los Angeles, the, doctor making the ex- animation assuring them they would have time to arrive there before any dangerous complications arose. They arrived in Los Angeles on Monday, the 30th, and Miss Clark received letter from Mr Markley just a few hours before the telegram came announcing his death. He had been seriously i'll with Spanish influenza since arriving home but was better at the time he wrote. He had been suffering with tuberculosis for sev-
 
 eral years and did not have the con- stitution to withstand an attack of influenza. The funeral was held at the home of w A. Murphy, Mrs. Markleys father, on Thursday after noon. The body will not be brought here for interment. MT. Markley IS survived by his wife and a little daughter, Helen Glaynes. He was a native of Marianna, being an only son of H. H. and Ella Markley, de- ceased, and spent all his life here till the family went to California to live about ten years ago. Mrs. Markley wired that there had been no serious developments from the pin the baby had swallowed M" Markley had many friends here who deeply regret his death and extend sympathy to his wife and baby in their sorrow.

 We know that General Pershing won a victory there, and that the operations were carried out almost entirely by Americans. Perhaps we know that 152 square miles were restored to France, and that the forces employed were incredibly small in proportion to the extent of the gains.
 But we are without the intimate knowledge of the spectator. We have not been given what the movie di- rectors call "close up." We can not see 100000 maps being distribut- ed to the selected troops, with cor rections recorded the day before the attack. We cannot see 30,000 photo graphs of the terrain being prepared and handed around as part of the final instructions. Or 5000 miles of telephone wire being laid in the salient, and moved forward with their motor truck switch boards and exchanges during the advance.

LIQUOR TO YANKS
Chas. M. Sheldon Says England
Offers Vice to u. s. Soldiers.
Our Troops Should Be Safe
guarded Thru London.

Dr.. Charles NJ. Sheldon indicated to
a Central Congregational church au-
dience that American troops en- route
to France should be sent thru London
at night and carefully safeguarded.
AS a result of an investigation of con-
ditions in England, the Topeka min
lister was shocked at conditions which
faced the soldiers. He found liquor
was sold to the soldiers and that vice
is rampant in the vicinity of the con-
centratioD camps"
In a special sermon before the
church congregation, Dr. Sheldon
the boundaries of the new army
camps. He said liquor was sold to
soldiers even when as a conservation
measure, sales to civilians were pro-
hibited. Doctor Sheldon appealed to
his congregation to demand that the
American soldier be given the same
protection abroad which he receives in
this country
Evil women, to say nothing of the
constant partner of Satan-the cigar
ette-are constantly in the path of the

What Shipbuilder Thinks.
Doctor Sheldon, among his many
acouaintances of value in England,
became friendly with DR.. G. B. Hun
ter. one of the greatest shipbuilderS in
Great Britain. He built the Mauri-
tania. the twin vessel of the Lusitania.
He is now building submarines for
England. Doctor Hunter is an Oxford
scholar and a member of the Church
of England.
In speaking of the liquor question,
Doctor Hunter said to Doctor Shell
don:
