St. Mihiel Hero,
Taken for Burglar,
Killed at Home

HARTSELLE, Ala, Nov. B.
Desperately wounded in the 'Ameri-
can advance which wiped out the st
Mihiel salient, and invaded home
for recovery, Barclift TUCKER, a
member of one of the first expedi-
tionar forces sent overseas, was Kill
ed at his old home west If this place
when he was mistaken for a burglar
by Elmer Fitzgerald, his fosterfather
Tucker enlisted at the age of IS
and has seen active service nearly
three years, and when he returned
to this country he fastened south
ward as rapidly as possible, and at
Decatur, Ala, hired an automobile
to carry him through the country to
his home. His arrival occurred late
at night, but the aged grandmother
heard the auto and rushed out to
greet her grandson, calling for her
daughter, Mrs. Elmer Fitzgerald, as
she passed through the house. This
noise awakened Fitzgerald, who,
looking through window and see
ing man standing in front Of the
house, thought him a burglar and
shot the young hero, in the side,
death occurring almost instantly.
The tragedy occurred late Satur-
day night, but its circumstances were
not generally known until during
Sunday.

member Of the Smith College Omit,

graduating from the College, was
engaged In social work in New York

German drive In the region around
Ham. verlaines and Ercheu. The
following paragraph clipped from
Miss Bliss letter, gives an idea Of
the fine spirit with which our work.

"As we came through the gate we
saw that the grounds were full of
English soldiers who were to be
quartered there for the night. Our
dining room was full of officers and
the girls were cooking madly-of
course all our French help had fled.
The men were exhausted, having
fought or been on the march for SO
hours and having been "a hours
without rations. We warmed up
cans Of beans, gave them bread and
crackers, made macaroni and tea
gallons Of tea lit was what they
most wanted. Those officers were

boy, and also over the boys apparent un.
willingness to take advantage Of his own
larger experience.
The mothers attitude toward the boy
is quite apart from all this. Here is an
elemental attitude Of sympathy, of true
insight OF that maternal charity and un-
wavering faith that never halts. And
when the mother sends her son to war,
she is making the only pure sacrifice that
is made. She is giving up something that
has come from her own being, part of
her very self, and this without cores
ponding hope of reward. It is true. Of
course, that if the boy comes home a hero
her joy is the highest and purest JOY
there is. But it must be remembered
that even the thought Of this joy is de-
MED to her in the dark hour Of parting
She may not even dare to think of it.
Most of the other sacrifices made by hui
man beings during war have an I'M
doubted alloy of self interest about them,
noble as they nay be. The mother,
sacrifice has none of this. 1t is pure, real
and absolute.-Thomas L. Mason in the

THE RESULTS OF THE DRIVE
On July 18th once more the Hun
raised his beastly head land on vast
battlefield of sixty miles of trench line,
drove ahead with all the power of his
hellish ingenuity, against the forces of
the Christian and civilized powers. The
Hun had on two occasions succeeded so
well with these massed attacks, that his
fifth drive was viewed by all the allied
peoples with many fears.
On July 10, for the first. time in more
than six weary months, the allied armies
undertook an attack on considerable
scale. a..sse.
What Of the results? An advance of
about twenty miles in some directions
gained by the American and French
troops. And this is notable not so much
for what was accomplished. The square
miles Of territory liberated are not yet
more than half Of what was captured by
the Boche in his drive of May ~, south
of the Aisne. But the notable thing is
that it was an .impromptu affair, gotten
up without the vast engineery Of artillery
preparation and gas shell attacks by
which the Germans have initiated their
vast drives, and submerged sections of
the allied line.
Meanwhile we know that in our coun-
try and in France we are preparing
vast mechanism of war of which the
Boche today has but had slight fore
taste. We are preparing our great ma
chinery Of chemical warfare, our fleet of
airplanes Jour array Of heavy and light
guns, and last, but not least, many
thousands Of armored tanks. - ,@
II in an impromptu attack without
elaborate preparation, with our equip
ment far from ready, our troops can
gain twenty miles; what will they gain
next spring when this vast enginery Of
,waSis ready for the real thing?
"a Uo4sfhak; Mr.. Hun, you who keep
lying to your people about the Ameri-
cans never being able to get over in large
numbersl You can stick your head. in
the sand for q few months yet, but by
