Nothing was said in the dispatches about the American part in the retaking of Kem- mel, and but little was said afterwards But wounds speak louder than words. When batch of wounded from the famous 27th (Empire) division, also called New York s own, landed the other day, it developed that nearly every one of these maimed and criP- pled and blinded lads had been stricken at Kemmel.
 And so it is that Kemmel stands as the glory peak of the great war. Every na- ton has its dead there and has its heroes who fought there: Even the boche bards will sing of the courage of their troops that took the hill. But the French songs of the men who would not leave the hill will ring finest and truest, and the English ballads about the boys of Kemmel will be the sweetest, and we, too. may sing of Kemmel hill and of the doughboys who filtered its sides in the last fight when the Germans reeled back.
 Kemmel marked the peak of the German wave. It was the German graveyard both for hopes and men. It is the glory peak of the war for the three nations that broke the back of the Hun on the western front.

It was last Saturday, late in the afternoon, that the crowds on Allen street were treated 10 a sight that made them doubt their eyes. During the afternoon several army trucks were in town from Fort Huachuca and after a short stay they continued to Douglas. There is nothing strange in this so far only that the trucks all carried number of Christmas trees and mistletOe for the various army requirements at Douglas for the hoii- days But the sight that got the goat" of the crowd on Allen street was what passed by on the last truck out In the front seat were two sol diers, but in the rear snugly hidden from the neck down was what seemed to be ,the real St Nick, and the kids began to yell The truck was making pretty good time and the whiskers under the hat were beating a quick step with the zephyrs and it looked for all the. world like old Santa Claus himself had arrived.

WOULD MARK BALLOTS
WITH FOUNTAIN PENS
Only wsy to Prevent Fraud by Extra
Crosses, Says Trainer

Use fountain pen to mark your bal.
lots on election ddy" Is the gist of a
statement sent broadcast through the
downtown wards yesterday by Select
Councilman Harry j.. Trainer of the
Third Ward. In this way, Trainer EN-.
phasises, election frauds will largely be
prevented.
Accor ding to Trainer It is an old
trick for political ward bosses and
crooked election officiais to have pencila
concealed In their hands with which thew
invaiidsts ballots after qualified electors
have voted. This is done by the simpie
expedient Of taking q ballot after an
eiector has voted. for example, the Rs-
publican candidate for Governor ana
putting q cross mark after the name Of
the Democratic candidate.
The ballot. therefore. containing n
vote for two candidates for the same
Office Is thrown out whom the count is
made.
