Among the heroes of the Foreign Le- zion who landed in New York the other day to help push the Fourth Liberty loan was Captain de Gray His record in the Great War rivals the exploits of the most famous warriors in all history. In one of the battles of the Champagne in 1915, he lost leg from shell fire Enough to keep any man out of war for the rest of his life even if he were Achilles himself But not this gallant captain. He had an artificial leg fastened to that shattered thigh and re- joined his regiment and has won fresh laurels in recent campaigns. Of course, in the regular army 1t would have been i'm possible for him to have entered the service again. Red tape, rules and theory bar men from the regular service for about a thou sand reasons, many of them practical and many of them silly But the Foreign Legion is an irregular unit of the allied hosts. It takes 'em all sizes, weights, colors, ages and condition of the body and members. One eye is enough for the Legion, if it is the
 trigger eye. One leg is enough if the cork substitute is hinged on properly. One arm will do if it IS the pistol arm. Flat feet, discoloration of the skin, pimples, missing tooth, fraction of pound of weight miss ing from the roll call or the fraction of an inch in stature, these things keep many thousands of splendid fighters off the regu- lar army rolls. But it's not that way in the Foreign Legion. And yet in spite of its

The headline writers and special core spondents and those who hastily summar- ize events give the impression to the casual reader that the Americans are at the very edge of the famous Briey iron fields of LOT raine That is our trouble We become too easily jubilant over preliminary successes in this war It has been the allied weak ness from the start. And thus we are prone to underestimate the magnitude of our task The fact is the American troops are twelve long, hard miles from the Briey iron prize The Germans are digging in, the rain is falling on this sector and some time and lot of fighting must intervene before we redeem her great iron fields for France

ONLY FIVE C. s. A. GENERALS LEFT
(From the Chattanooga Times)

The death of Brig. Gen. William Mo Comb, late of the Confederate Army at Gordonville, Va, July 2l, 1918, leaves only five survivors of 464 general officers commissioned by the Confederate States of America during the great civil conflict of 1861 to 1865.
 These survivors are Maj. Gen. Evander McIver Law of Barlow, Fla; Brig. Gen. William Ruffin Cox of Richmond, Va; Brig. Gen. Roger A. Pryor of New York; Brig. Gen. Felix H. Robertson of Waco, Tex, and Brig Gen. Maurice J. Wright of Washington.
 Of the eight generals of full rank, and of the nineteen lieutenant generals com missioned by the Confederate government, all are now dead; and of the seventy-eight major generals, there is only one survivor; and of the three hundred and fifty-nine brigadier generals there are only four sur ViVOrs

FAREWELL RECEPTION
TENDERED REV. f. l..
MOORE AND FAMILY

Tuesday evening, in Che rch
basement, friends and members of the
NJ. E. church, rendered a farewell re-
ception to Rev. F. L. Moors ami family
On their leaving Leavenwolth for
Kamiah, Idaho, where Mr.. Moore was
assigned as pastor for the corning
year. The reception was n e form
of surorisc TO Rev. Moore ar fam
lily and was carried out ccessfuily,
as no one suspicfoned any thing until
lights wcin seen in the c,urch base
ment.
On arriving at the church they
were greeted by their friends who
had already gathered there. After a
time spent visiting, w. F. Bickel acted
as spokesman for the congregation
and friends and thanked Mr. Moore
and family for what they had done
for the church since they came and
for the interest the former ha taken
in the welfare of the town and tae
people of the town, also for the con
ditlon he was leaving the alrai 5 of
the church in, the best in tie history
Of the Leavenworth church Mr..
bickel closed in presenting Rev. MIR.
Moor with gift of $25, rom the
congregation and friends. Rev.
Moore thanked the people and tod
how he had enjoyed the three years
he had spent in their midst and wish
ed them all kinds of success III the
future, and that they would stand by
his successor as well as they did by
him.
Light refreshments were served and
all departed wishing Rev Moo e God
speed on his journey to his new con
gregation.

ADVERTISERS TAKE NOTICE

Under the new government reg
ulation and the urgent need of
conservation, The Echo must in.
sist that all advertising copy for
the current week must be in the
office not later than Wednesday
noon of each week to insure in
sertion. 1t is to the advertisers
benefit to have his copy in the Of
flee in time because there is then
time to "get up" a better looking
and more attractive advertisement.
The advertiser will also get bet
ter position in the paper and get
better results. When copy comes
in late it has to be slapped together
any old way and go any old out
of-the way place, Remember this
Mr.. Advertiser, get your copy in
early, to insure satisfactory results.
If it comes in late it may not be
possible to get your ad in at all,
in any event you will get a poor
looking ad., and it will be in any
old -the-way place. Get your
copy in on time. Wednesday noon.

they adopted a program which means
much more than personal sacrifice on
the part of the men who are to go to
the front. If this enormously enlarg-
ed army is to be properly provided
with transport and with supplies of all
kinds, every ounce of industrial ener-
gy of the country must be concentrat-
ed on war essentials, and that the
purchase of non-essentials must be alb
solutely eliminated. This seems to be
the hardest lesson for the American
people to learn. Those who stand will
ling to cheerfully make the great sac
rifice of personal service, and those
of their own families whose hearts
are with them III this sacl;fice, are
still failing to make the lesser sacri-
flee of the absolute elimination in
their normal life at home of all eX-
penditures not absolutely essential.
But while the task of making the
Fourth Liberty loan a success will in
volve general sacrifice and a wider
distribution than ever before, it is
unthinkable that the American people
will fail to meet the situation. The
boys who have gone out from every
town and city in the land are now
fighting on the western front, we are
all proud to feel that they have per-
formed 100 per cent. every task that
has been required of them. Surely
no single community in all the
Twelfth District will allow it to be
said it has failed to product 100 per
cent. of the quota required to sup
port its sons on the battle front"

WHY NO ELECTION RETURNS?

Deeming the election of county

part of the county of overshadow-
ing Importance, indeed of so much
importance that the publisher of
The Echo made the election of Mr..
Watson his sole interest in the pri-
mary election. Having failed ig-
ANONYMOUSLY thru the lack of
enough interest on the part of the
Leavenworth voters to go to the
polls and vote, less than one in II
of the republican voters voting, he
has no personal interest in print
ing the election returns, and con-
cludes the few who did go out to
vote are so disgusted, and those
who did not take enough interest
to vote have as little interest in the
outcome as they had in the election
and would therefore have just as
little interest, and be bored with
reading the returns. Wherefore
the space will be devoted to point
ing out how much our roads need
improving and how remote the
probability is that they will get
what they need.

AFTER THE WAR-WHAT?
The Worlds Money System Should be
Stabilized and, Perhaps, Unified.

When peace comes, the worlds COM
merce will have tendency to flow
back into its old channels. Import and
export trade will be renewed and du-
ties must be paid. Because of depre-
citation in paper money and fluctuation
in its value these duties will have to
be paid, in most cases, in gold and,
as result, unless suitable preventa-
tive measures are installed, the finan-
cial world may at any time, be great
ly disturbed and perhaps demoralized.
They welfare of the world after the
war will depend largely upon the sta
bility of trade, and to stabilize trade
there should be a sound, well estab-
lished system of international finance.
While it may be that the world is
not yet ready to adopt the ideal plan
of universal money system with a
single unit of value for all nations, it
would seem to be entirely feasible to
establish an international financial
board, similar to the Federal Reserve
Board of this country. Such an insti-
tuition would undoubtedly exert pow
erful influence in steadying world fl
nance and trade; it could act as an
international clearing house; it might
regulate, to a large extent, the ebb
and flow of gold; it would have a
powerful influence in determining in
terest and exchange rates; it would
provide a safe method for dealing
with the delicate problems likely to
arise regarding the huge outstanding
quantities of war bonds; and it could
also warrant the issuance of gold
notes which might prove to be the
first step towards the adoption of uni
form international money system. The
plan also would afford an opportunity
to utilize the best brains of the world
in dealing not only with problems of
finance and trade, but also with the
many questions which are likely to
arise in connection with the adjust
ment of international relations after
the war.-Copyright 1918, by General
Welfare League.
