Most Noted Trotters and PAGERS of America
In Great Speed Contests Each Day

That new factor was American
guns!
American boys were there determ-
ined to turn the tide, and they did
it. They died to do it. And they are
going to keep on dying for their
cause until the Hun is beaten so
completely that the world will never
live through such days again.
But without guns, without cold
steel, and the best shells, their
heroism would have gone for nothing.
This war is still on. Victory is
sure now if we hang on. But that
hanging on means fighting as dog
gedly and skillfully as it meant to
tip those scales.
If you don't supply the money for
more American guns, the boys will
fight in vain next time. The weight
will shift. This latest victory will be
overturned.

STACKER WEDDINGS

New editions of revised selective
service regulations issued by Provost
Marshal General Crowder fix August
5 as the date from which draft
boards shall disregard marriages of
men who registered on September IL
as ground for exemption. The So
called Stacker marriage provision
says:
"The fact of dependency resulting
from marriage of a registrant Of the

married since the date of the intro
duction in Congress of the act re-
quiring his registration, to-wit, Aug
ust 5, 1918, will be disregarded as
ground for deferred classified

The new edition, containing re-
drafts of some provisions under the
new man-power law, is issued as a
guide to all draft boards, and incor-
porates number of minor changes
in procedure and methods, designed
to facilitate their work, as well as
provisions to make the wider exemp-

Besides the good it does children

Vinol to restore strength and vitality

In little while,
As measured time
Goes by,
And years come on,
There1l be a day
When someone,
Out beyond the seas,
Will touch peg;
And word will come
That war,
And killing men,
Has ceased;
And we will know
That somewhere,
Floating high,
White stars,
And bright red stripes,
Are looking down
On soldier boys
And victory;
And then,
In just a little while, So
Those soldier boys
Will sing their way
Across the seas,
And here upon this avenue
Wen stand,
And looking down,
Wen see them come
Bronzed veterans
And heroes all;
And we will cry,
And every tear
Will be a prayer
Of, thankfulness'
That they are home.
And we may cheer,
And every cheer
Will say to them
Our gratitude
For what they've done;
And on that day,
Right here,
Where we stand now,
There'll be a man,
Sal-eyed,
And shamed,
And he will hear,
But in his heart,
He'll know
He has no business here.
He'll be the man
Who never bought

We are experiencing today another

All morning our office has been del

This rush was occasioncd by a dis

ed rumOT, first TO the effect that the
British line had been broken and
/ second that a large body OF American
troops had either been captured or
cut off from their food supply and
their capture only matter OF hours.
Nothing in the Associated Press

any such catastrophe. On the other
