young lady from her sweetheart, VIII
is a prisoner of war.
The Mountain Eagle under the cap

A few days ago Miss Lewis,
Of Harlan, KY, received a let
ter from her sweetheart, who is
prisoner Of war in the hands of
the Germans. With the letter he
enclosed his wrist watch.
The letter in part reads:
DEAREST am a prisoner in the
hands Of the German guards;
they treat me nice; they are
great people and will win the
war. Then / will return to you
and other dear ones at home"
The young woman received the
watch, but when wound it refus-
ed to run. Upon examination by
jeweler a piece Of tissue pa
per, tightly rolled, was found un-
der the fly wheel. Upon it was
written: "All / have said in my
letter is untrue; | am suffering
untold agonies, They have cut
off both ears, the en- dof my nose,
and otherwise seriously manned
me. You will never see me
again. Goodbye, DEAR"
The Eagle comments: "Is it not
enough to make the blood run cold?

very true American? Do we really
owe our country, our flag and our

Washington Gets Report On General
Pershing's Men Now In the Fight
Announcement That American Troops Have Entered the Battle
Line Came With Generally Better News-Army Experts
However, Warn Nation Not to Be Too Optimistic
Fierce Fighting For Villages.

WASHINGTON, April with
more than hundred thousand Ameri-
can troops now moving toward the
battle zone on the plains of Picardy
and with the French and British ap-
parently signalling the first day of
Gen. Foch's supreme command by
striking back hard and effectively at
the Germans, the situation has taken
a decided turn for the better, in the
opinion Of Maj. Gen. Peyton G.
March, acting chief Of staff, and army
officers generally.
The news that Pershing's men had
already begun to move overshadowed
everything else yesterday.
President Wilson received an early
bulletin transmitted to the White
bulletin to the White House. Maj.
Gen. March was also informed and
! before long the welcome reports had
spread like wildfre in army circles.
Number Likely Engaged.
1t indicated yesterday that Ameri-
can troops under Gen. Pershing would
In the opinion Of army experts here,
be rapidly made ready to be utilized
i'll the more and less open fighting to
be expected at this critical stage. Re-
ports now already verify the judg-
lnent Of these army men and Gen.
Foch has presumably acted with his
usual promptness.
How many American troops will be
engaged? When will they be ready
to come to grips with the enemy?
These were questions on many lips
which can only be answered in a most
general way.
It is possible to state authoratively
that the number will be in excess of
100000, and it can likewise be said
that the Americans will take less time
to reach the battle zone than arm
chair strategists would believe pos
sible.
Distances and transportation diff
culties dwindle when Gen. Foch takes
hold
News Of Better Character.
AS to the makeup Of the American
force now about to engage in the
severest test Of modern warfare, it
can only be said that the most season.
ed troops will be used as first-line
fighting units, while the less expert
enced will probably be given duty
guarding transportation lines, etc, in
order to relieve French or British I
troops for frst-line duty. K
Maj. Gen. March was at the War I
Department late last night, as usual, l
but had nothing from Gen. Pershing
to make public. Il
It is particularly noted here that n
news of distinctly better character 4
has come almost simultaneously with t
the official announcement that Gen. 1
Foch is in supreme command. n
The allies appear to have wrested
the initiative from the enemy at all
the more important strategic points. {

Black Walnut Timber in Wayne
to be Exhausted Soon He SAYS

That the black walnut timber sup
| exhausted in year or Two at the pres
ent rate it is being cut. was the opin.
ion expressed Wednesday by Russell
| Watson, an Industrial examiner in
forest products for the United States
department of agriculture.
The forest service of the depart
/ ment of agriculture is conducting an
| investigation of the timber supply of
the country. 1t is finding not only
| that the supply of timber of such
| species as walnut and ash is limited,
| but also that reputable millmen, saw.
ing at government ORDERS, have con-
siderable difficulty in purchasing that
! timber which is at hand.
| The first condition, unfortunately,
cannot be remedied. The difficulties
which the millmen are experiencing,
| the Forest Service believes, however,
will be removed when timber owners
realize the great need which the gov
eminent now has for mill products.
| Gunstocks are made from black
! walnut lumber; practically no other
wood is used. Airplane propellers are
made from walnut SO far as is posi-
| Bile, although mahogany and white oak
are used when walnut is not available.
Ash is used, in preference to other
trees, for the body parts of airplanes.
| 1t is also used for handles for trench
tools and army wagons and trucks.
| Hickory is by FIR the best wood for
spokes of army wagons and trucks.
These woods are. therefore. vitality
| important in the production of NUM-
| lions of war.
Complaints have been received con-
corning INSCRIPTIONS log buyers who
have represented themselves as
agents Of the United States. These
complaints are being investigated and
arrests will probably follow. The gov
eminent itself purchases no logs. The
owner of valuable timber will do best
II he sells his trees only to log buy
ers who have bought timber in the
county for many years and who are
we'll and favorably known.
The government has fixed the price
at the mill of walnut lumber bought
by it. The millmen cannot change
this price. The price which will be

HOUSE TAKES UP
MORE Navy BILLS

WASHINGTON, June 19-Having
voted for a permanent increase in the
navy personnel from $1,000 to 131 ,4So
men, and rejected the senate proposal
to create the rank of lieutenant gen.
eral for the marine corps commandant

attempt to eliminate differences be-

Twilight baseball has been intro
duced into several leagues in the east
and middle west with marked success.
The American Association tried 1t
first and found the innovation had a
tendency to make the turnstiles click
with more than their accustomed rap
idity. This was particularly true Of
the cities where big munition plants
are located The workers finish at
the plants at p. m. The games start
at 6 p. m, the late starting time being
made possible by the fact that the
nations clocks have been moved up.
This gives the workers a chance to
eat their evening meals and still see
the game. Crowds better than 10000
are common. League officials confess
the innovation will save the game IN
more than one city where the war in
dustries are working overtime. The
latest league to adopt the fad is the
International. 1t may even be tried in
the majors before the season gets
much farther advanced.
The increase in railroad fares, which
went into effect this week, will cost
each club in the big leagues about
$4,000 more in travelling expenses.
This means a total for sixteen clubs in
the two major organizations of more
than $150,O00. In ante-bellum days the
rate throughout the various states in
Guided in major league circuit aver

mile per member of the party. This
gave a total of about $4,000 per player
per season with several hundred dol
lars additional for Pullman reserva
tons during long trips. This particu-
lar item was offset to some extent by
the saving in hotel bills where night
jumps were made. Under the new
ruling the rate increases almost a cent
a mile, in addition to regular charges
for special reservation and the travel
war tax. If all the travelling is done
in Pullmans the rate is three and one

half cents per mile, or a total for a
full season of $500 per player, plus a
war tax of eight per cent, equal to
$3.50 To this will be added the regu-
lar extra charge for sleeping berths or
chairs where long night or day trips
are made.
Dutch Leonard of the Boston Red
Sox hurled the first no hit game or
the season when he flashed a hitless
and runless game against the Detroit
Tigers. It was his second hitless con-
test. In 1916 Leonard turned back
the Browns without hit on August 30.
1916. Leonard is unquestiOnably the
most effective pitcher on Manager
Barrows staff and is doing yeoman
service in keeping the Boston crowd
in the race for the championship.
Ruth, of course, is another wonderful
pitcher, but his playing in the outfield
and at first base hasn't added to his
skill as a bowman, though it has in
creased his fame as a batsman con-
siderably.
