Must Strike Soon
Or Admit Defeat

Washington, May 3.-The Ger
mans must attack soon or acknowI-
edge their defeat in their ambitious
attempts to utterly crush the allied
armies. The present phase of the bat
tie is not unlike that before Verdun,
two years ago, after the first German
rush had been stopped and even at
tempts to carry small positions had
met with defeat.
The Germans have lost heavily but
the emperor still has reserves to
throw in the fight. The defeat Mon
day on the Meteren- Voormezeele line
has taught the Germans that the allies
are prepared to stand their ground
and there seems little inclination at
the present moment to renew, which
threatens to be disastrous.

With the American Army in France
MAY 2.--The reorganization Of the
general staff Of the American expe-
dictionary army, begun the first of
March, has been completed and the
overseas forces now have military
machine of balance and proportion
that is the most perfect that the army
has had since the close of the civil
war left us the foremost military ma
ton of the world.
The war has now been transferred
from Washington to France and the
engine for conducting that war is
here. The staff has been reorgan-
lied to form a basis of coordination
action between the various general
staff departments, and the plan adopt
ed was prepared after a comprehen-
sive study Of the staff organizations
of the French and British armies and
revised as a result of our own expe-
riences. American methods have
been adapted to the peculiar needs Of
modern warefare as developed by the
fighting on the western front.
Marks Great Advance.
All the requirements of modern
field conditions have been met It is
the most complete plan ever formu-
lated by the American army and
marks the tremendous advance in the
military science that the expedition
airy forces have made since the arri-
val Of the first division of troops in
France year ago. Under the pres
sure of necessity the army has ac-
complished in twelve months what the
German general staff achieved in 40
years.

with fearful losses.
Three times in two hours the French
attacked. always with heavy losses
and no results. We were at our wits

be impossible for us to hold the posi-

WARRENSBURG

Once more we have seen the glo-
rious sunset of commencement. Once
more we have parted from friend and
schoolmates for the vacation, know
| ing that we shall never meet under
the same conditions, and altogether
any more. Some will go out to try
to fight the battle of life as school
teachers; some will, before the four
short months Of vacation end, have
enlister in the army and navy to fight;
SO that the schools may continue, and
others, and all, will do their "bit"
during vacation to help support the
holy cause of the Allies. We know
that there will be no slackers on the
part Of the student body of our school
and of all schools all over Greene
county in speeding up food and pro-
duction. They will not sit idly dream
ing Of their future days in school, but
they will woodwork to feed our
soldiers and free the world. We have
said the sunset of commencement,
but we should say the sunrise, for
that is what it is TO the graduating
class. The sunrise to them is so beau
tiful. 1t shows to them new posi-
bilities, new advantages, and nobler
deeds to perform. Never have three
young ladies left my High school bet
ter equipped, better prepared for life
than they. They are also to be con-
graduated on having as their teacher,
Prof. R. H. Burkhart, the best man
and the best teacher in the county
The program consisting Of play
Wednesday evening, and patriotic
exercise Thursday evening was a
success, The special Thursday even
ing was Dr. Yost's lecture on Patriot
ism, which is said to be one of the
very best of its kind in the country.
Friday was commencement day, and
Dean Hodge Mathes, of the State Nor
NAL delivered the annual address to
the graduating class. We, as stu
dents can truthfully say that we have
never spent more enjoyable terms
work; and our greatest desire is to
have the same corps of teachers next
term that we have had this. The pa
irons Of the school have been loyal to
the school in every way possible, and
through their cooperation with the
teachers, the school has been made
better. But another word to the
students, let us stand Loyalty by our
school and country-let US work to
can the Kaiser; do not waste bit of
time-sow, reap and can. You may
think your "bit' would not amount
to anything, but it is little things that
count. You may waste biscuit and
starve a soldier; by starving soldier
lose a regiment, lose regiment and
lose battle, lose battle and lose the
war, lose tire war and all our institu-
tons will 60 down beneath the con-
querer's heel, and when September
comes we may be under German rule,
and without any schools to go to. So
it behooves everyone of Us to do our
''bit" to keep the war in Europe and
to settle it VIGOROUSLY for Us there.

CITY MARSHAL
BARELY ESCAPES
HORRIBLE DEATH
Doomed to Slow and Linger-
ing Torture, Florida Official
Is Saved at Last Moment.

Winter Haven, Fla, May AFTER
having suffered untold pain and mis-
cry for several years, and having
been given up by his physicians as
doomed to a slow and lingering death,
B. F. Norman, city marshal here,
states that he was entirely cured in
two weeks. He yesterday said:
For years / was in horrible pain
from kidney and bladder troubles,
accompanied by very poor digestion.
In fact at times my food would not
digest at all, which caused me a
great deal of suffering, much anguish,
and greater expense.
Il had excruciating pains in and
around my kidneys which left me
physical wreck. I had to get up eight
or ten times a night. Sleep was out
of the question.
"A friend recommended Acid Iron
Mineral and, thank God, ! tried it.
Almost Immediately the pain in my
kidneys and bladder ceased. 1t was
well-nigh miraculous in its effect. /
now sleep well, instead of having to
get up every hour or so. My diges-
ton is again normal. ] can now eat
what want, and when / want it.
at has done me so much good /
want to pass the glad tidings along
to others who are in the same miser-
able shape"
The acidity of Aim invariably
gives instant relief in cases of faulty
digestion and impaired kidneys, thus
relieving the bladder Immediately.
Then, by building up the entire sys-
tenn, Acid Iron Mineral banishes all
such complaints as are traceable to
poor digestion, and a weak, rundown,
system. AS general spring tonic it
is without a peer.
Thousands upon thousands Of peo-
pie, throughout the country, during
The past thirty years have uttered sim
lar words of praise for AIM, and
so great a percentage has been the
number of those benefited by it's use,
hat the proprietors make the fol-
owing unqualified guarantee to those
Who purchase Acid Iron Mineral.
Go to your regular druggist. Try a
bottle of AIM. Then, if you are
Tot fully benefited and don't feel
ike a new person, take the empty |
,ottle back, and your money will be |
refunded

"Whether women realize it or not,
there has been a saving OF steel
through making corsets on simpler
lines. There was a shameful waste OF
material in shoes, but the war indus
tries board stopped that by restricting
the height, the number of styles, the
variety of cOlorS, etc" In Worlds
Work Theodore Price tells how these
and other savings We're brought about
"by diplomacy" He says: "Women's
wear presented q delicate problem.
Paris sets the styles for the ladies'.
Certainly gentlemen in Washington
were not to be consulted. But the war
Industries board made a few inquiries
by cablegram-the French minister OF
commerce and industry asked the ar
biters Of fashion over there q few
q~uestiOns-or, at least, it is presumed
that he did-and the French designers
suddenly awakened to a fine apprecia-
ton of the beauty of simplicity of
style. The board did not dictate to
American designers; 1t merely ac-
Quainted them with the situation. A
saving Of 25 per cent in the wool used
In women's clothes was secured.
Another interesting saving, says
Worlds Work, was in the number of
kinds of articles. For example, there
were 600 sizes and kinds of metal
beds, which the board reduced to 30
and lightened 30 pounds per bed; 2S7
varieties of auto tires were reduced
to nine. In the vacuum cleaner bust
ness alone the war industries board
found q way to conserve 100000 feet
of fabric hose.

lowed him. Inside the house was q
passageway under the ruins. It was
about seven feet wide and fifty feet
long, I should judge.
At the other end was the great old
u.s." poking it's nose out Of a hole In
the wall. The gun captain and thS
crew were sitting around waiting the
word for action. and they seemed to
know Brown well. I was surprised at
that, but still more so when he told
me I could examine the gun II ]
wanted to, just Is if he owned it.
So I sat in the seat and trained the
cross wires on an object, opened and
closed the breech and examined the
recoil.
Then Brown said: "Well, Chink,
you'll see some real gunnery now," and
they passed the word and took sta
tions. My eyes bulged out when
saw Brown take his station with them
"Silence! !" Is about the first com
mand q gun crew gets when it is goins
into action, but I forgot all about 1t
and shouted out and asked Brown how
he got to be a gunner. But he only
grinned and looked dopey, as usual
Then I came to and expected to get
call down from the officer, but he onl!
grinned and so did the crew. 1
seems they had it all framed to sprinl
on me, and they expected I would b
surprised.
So we put cotton in u ears ant

The barrel slipped back, threw GU

our noses worse than the coolies. They
certainly were game little devils, and
came right back at us.
SO most of the poiius threw the
dope at Fritz and fought the coolies
hand to hand.
There was plenty Of food in the
trenches most OF the time, though once
In a while, during a heavy lombard
ment, the fatigue-usually u corpOral's
guard-would get killed in the com-
municAjon trenches and we would not
have time to get out to the fatigue and
rescue the grub they were bringing.
Sometimes you could not find either
the fatigue or the grub when you got
g the point where they had been hit.
Iut, as l say, we were well fed most
Of the time, and got second and third
hcIpings until we had to open our
belts. But as the Llmeys say: Cav
blimey, the chuck was rough" They
served a thick soup of meat and vege-
tnbles in bowls the size of wash ba-
sins, black coffee with or without
sugar-mostly without and plenty
Of bread.
Also, we had preserves In tins, just
like the Limeys. If you send any parl
GELS over, do not put any apple and
plum Jam in them or the man who gets
it will let Fritz shoot him. Ask any
Limey soldier and he will tell you the
same. I never thought there was SO
much jam in the world. No Mons
Land looked like a city dump. Most
Of us took 1t, after a while, just to
get the bread. Early in the war they
used the tins to make bombs of, but
that was before Mills came along with
his hand grenade. Later on they fiat
tened out the tins and lined the dug
outs with them.
Each mar carried an emergency ra-
ton in his bag. This consisted Of bully
beef, biscuits, etc. This ration was
never used except in a real emergency,
because no one could tell when it
might mean the difference between
life and death to him. When daylight
catches a man in a shell hole or at q
listening post out in No Mans Land
he does not dare to crawl back to his
trench before nightfall, and then is the
time that his emergency ration comes
in handy. Also, the stores failed tC
reach us sometimes, as l have said
and we had to use the emergency
r%ations.
Sometimes we received raw meat
and fried it in our dugoutS. We bull
