The Brandon news. (Brandon, Miss.) 1892-1961, 1918-11-14

IT ME President has expressed what Is IN every
American heart. AS nation united IN
the winning of this war As nation we stand
behind fighters eager and prepared to do for them
whatever will hasten victory and make the fighters
task little lighter.
AS individuals there IS little we can do. As a ma
ton we work wonders through the seven organ1-
cations authorized and recognized by the Government
They come to you not as Catholics, nor as Jews
nor Protestants not the representatives OF any
creed enterprise but Americans to ask that you
Join in this great united undertaking for God, and
country and our fighters
The President has voiced his belief that this spirit
of unity will be crowned with abundant success
He believes It because he knows this campaign IS
eof vital military value and he knows that you Will
leave nothing undone to win this war.

The church services this morning

Events in France. French
Think Highly of Americans

The following letter has been re-
cetved by Mr.. and Mrs. r. T.. Gibson
from a member of the band Of the
18th Infantry, one of the many Key
stont state men whom the Gibsons
frequently had as their guests. Tho
home Of Mr. and Mrs. Gibson has al
ways radiated the warmest hospitality
for the men at Camp Hancock and
friendships have been established that
bear testimony to the high regard in
which these patriotic citizens of Au-
gusta are held by all the soldiers
whose good fortune it has been to
know them:

Dear Gibsous:
I received Mr.. Gibson's much vel
coined letter several days ago and
passed 1t around to all the boys. We
sure we're glad to hear from you. Let
ters are so scarce in France. We were
lucky enough to get a few about a
week ago. They come in punches
here. guess we are moving so much
they have hard time locating US.
There are so many things Of inter-
est that I would like to tell you, but
the censor holds US down on our cor
.respondence.
The boys are all feeling fine We
still do some rehearsing. 1t might be
interesting to listen TO a band rehears-
ing with a nine-inc cannon about a
block away keeping time 70 the music
and the ever present Bee buzz" Of air
planes high above our heads.
This is Sunday and ] have been
thinking how nice it would be to go
home from church with the Gibsons
and sit down in real chair and eat
one of those kinds of feeds I used to
get. The good times at your place
viii never be forgotten by me. We
didn't get our rations yesterday so we
are out Of luck for dinner today. Think
we will get supper, though, SO I'll have
TO make UP for lost time. Huh?
The Y. 81. c. A. certainly is doing
fine work Tor as fellows. They have a
canteen where we can buy toilet arti-
cles, tobacco and occasionally a little
candy and cakes. For the boys in the
trenches a ~" man fills a sack Of
eats" and goes through shell-hre, gas,
etc, to get it to the boys. No one can

GERMANS SUFFOCATED.
Two Thousand Perish BY Trick With
Gas Shells.

Paris, April 1S.-The evolution Of
the use of gas shells has taken sur
prising form in the present battle.
One new method is to fire heavy, slow
ly dispensing gases along charted
lanes against the enemy, filling the
alternative spaces with quickly dissi-
pating poison fumes. Storming at
tacks are then made by troops, who
charge when sufficient interval of
time has been given for the lighter
gases to rise.
The British gunners at one part of
the line threw shells charged simply
with sinking composition. The Ger
mans after few hours discovered
that this was nonpoisonous and began
laying aside their masks. After these
shells had been fired for another
twelve there was a sudden change to
poison gases. About 1000 Germans
were caught without their masks and
suffocated.

LOSE LIVES IN COLLISION.
British and American Vessels Crash
With Disastrous Results.

An Atlantic Port, April 1S.-Thir-
ty-six members of the crew of the
British steamer War Knight and one
man on board the American steamship
@. B. Jennings lost their lives in a
spectacular CRASH between the two
ships off the British coast on March
"a. 4.
immediately after the collision sew
eral destroyers;2went: to the aid of the
two ships which were in flames. The
War Knight, while being towed INTO
shallow water, struck floating mine
and was blown up: Despite the blaz-
ing oil that covered the. sea around
the ship, one, of the destroyers dash
ed alongside and took off several of
the crew.
The Jennings crew were also taken
off, with the, exception of one man
who had leaped or fallen overheard.
The ship was then sunk, as she was a
menace to other ships. The story of
the disaster was related today by
members Of the Jennings crew who ar
rived on another ship.

Serbia Grows Irritable. -

Washington, April 1S.-Count Burl-
an, chosen as premier of Austria hun
gary 20 succeed Count Czern!n, rep
resents a compromise with AGstria's
internal troubles. According to diplo-
matte dispatches received here yester-
day he was picked at the last moment.
Up to the moment of the announce
ment of his name, Emperor Karl was
supposed to have decided upon Count
Tisza.
Burian was the foreign minister
when the United States and Austria
were exchanging notes over the sink
ing of the Ancona. Though he has
been catalogued as one of the Austri-
an leaders friendly to the United
States, the experience of the President
with Count Czernin has made official
Washington extremely unwilling to
attribute friendliness now to any Aus
trian who succeeds with his own gov
eminent.
The situation between Turkey and
Bulgaria is again reported to be in a
critical state. No results have been
attained at the conference among the
German war lords at great headquar-
tiers and Turkish and Bulgarian forces
are reported to be ready to pitch into
each other on the disputed territory
at the slightest pretext.
