Because the old gentlemen who
established this country realized
the Importance Of the press as
police force, the Constitution car
ries a provision about liberty of
the press.
This provision cannot be set
aside even by learned justices who
believe that freedom Of the press
is not a serious matter between
friends.
The newspaper Of Itself Is
nothing. But newspapers as
whole are the national police
force, watching public servants,
from judges on the bench to po-
litical bosses that often choose the
iudRe-and wisely.

AMERICANS MAKE A
TWO MILE ADVANCE

With the American Army in France.
The American troops in their drive
beyond Juvigny advanced about two
miles and captured nearly 600 prison
ers, together with considerable war
supplies.
The advance from Juvigny began at
4 o'clock and the Americans had gain
ed their objective by night. Ragged
points in the new line were smoothed
out In addition to the 600 prisoners
two pieces of artillery were captured
and a great number Of machine guns
and trecnch mortars. Trenches, shell
holes and the open field were streWn
with German dead.
The drive forward from the posi-
lions north and south OF JuVlgny
proved a field day for the Americans
and their allies the French. The az
tillery literally blasted way through
the enemy ranks, tearing down de-
lenses and leveling the ground, Whlle
allied planes maintained complete anu
uninterrupted connection by radlo
with battery commanders Throughout
the engagement. The infantry, wheh
called upon for it's part in the dram
attic venture, responded like veteran
troops after long period OF rest anu
with enthusiastic shouts began the
pursuit of the Germans who were no'
caught in the terrific barrage.
With the infantry went the TANKS
and it was a different story from tna'
when they first advanced against Iu,

FRITISH ARMV HAS SMALL.
EUMBER ENTFRIC FEVER CASES

London, Nov. 28JIn the great war
the British armies had only 1000
Vases of enteric fever in over four
years, despite the fact that the troops
have frequently been billeted in
areas infested with the diseases. This
Is attributed to the efforts of the
British Army Medical Service. Medi.
capofficers say that illness among the
British Army has been reduced to a
minimum. Sanitation and inocula.
ton have been primarily responsible
for this happy state of affairs.
TO understand the strides that have
been made it must be remembered
that during the two and a half years
of the South African war there were
more than $4,000 eases of enteric
fever among a force of 100000 men
and this is in acountry practically i'm
mune from the disease up to the out
break of hostilities
Throughout the British armv in
France infectious diseases have been
practically eliminated Every officer
in the British army has been given
course in sanitation Successful
toxine and vaccines have been invent
ed for gas, gangrene, etc, mad huge
strides have been made in the ad.
Eance of surgery.
