means.

American negro soldiers in France
are a scource of never ending interest
and amusement to the French, who
do not tire watching and listening as
they WELD picks and shovels, and
chant as they work in a wierd minor
key.
They have shown a fearlessness
amounting almost to utter indiffer-
ence-if their white officers are with
them-a carelessness where personal
danger is inyoled that is at once
amazing and sometimes annoying to
the officers, and q desire to fight
that amounts to a mania.
The American negro soldiers, in
the words of conel thatcommands
regiment of them and has for years
known good deal about their charac-
teristics, is very close to fatalist
when it comes to fear Repeatedly
his own troops handy remarks among
themselves, the gist of which is about
as follow:
Don't worry about that shell, Ras-
tus. 1t amt got your number on it,
And the shell screams by, the neg
roes who believe it had not their
number stand idly around and expose
themselves as they should not. The
colonel frankly admits being afraid
when big shells are flying about, and
seeks cover.
The first regiment which went into
action, long ago now, went in prlmar-
lily because it threatened to decimate
itself in inactivity. Razors and knives
came more and more freely into
play. and the men demanded so fire.
quently and so mistakenly of their Of
ficers why they might not get some
action that it was finally arranged
for them. They proved quite as siren
uous fighters in the line as they had
behind it.
1t goes without saying that the
negro soldier is as boastful as any in
a similar profession. The Marines had
just covered themselves with glory
in the Chateau Thierry fight when
a delegation from a negro regiment
in line in quiet sector waited on
the commanding officer and asked
if they too might not get in on the
fun.
Let us go in, colonel" they said.
I'VE are the only real fighters. The
Marines are all right of course, but
just let us have a whack at the Boche.
Then the Marines won't be in it. And
as for the rest, Lord they don't count
at all"

RUMANlA MAY COME

There is steady growing belief
in Rumania that if the German do
mination and oppression continued,
there may be an uprising among the
people, particularly if food and cloth
ing famine is not relieved. There are
many who feel, that it may not be
impossible that the Rumanian army
will again take up arms against the
Central Powers. This conviction, is
the stronger since the recent decisive
victories of the Allies on the West
ern front
Already there is grave unrest among
the peasants, who are forced by the
Germans agents to work long and
laboriously in farm and factory with
scarcely sufficient wages to buy their
daily bread The Germans are thor
oughly disliked by all from the royal
family down to the humblest peasant.
The belief that the Rumanian army
may fight again prevails not only
among the people, but in military

with Americas legions now partici-
pating in the struggle on the Western
front and their number steadily in
creasing, the Central Powers will be
compelled to divert all their troops
from other fronts to the field of opera
lions in France in order to check the
fast-moving Allies. This would be an
opportune moment, these observers
believe, fori Rumania to throw of
the yoke of Germany and reestablish
its army in the field as an aid of the
Allies. -

But even thai has been found to

The things i is needed for are so
vast l can sketch them in only a cur

'In a word. it goes to take home to

sustain the morale of the army. to

Dean Miller told of the homesick-

OCTOBER 9TH.
PETITIONS FOR OPTION VOTE
CONTAINED NEARlY TWICE
As MANY NAMES As NEc-
EssARY.

At 9 o'eloek yesterday afternoon
a large and enthusiastic delegation Of
citizens from all parts Of the county.
headed by Judge W. T. Fowler q
attorney. presented to Judge Champ
lin and the County Court a petition
signed by more than three thousand
two hundred persons, calling for
-ohibition election to be held this
fall. This is more than fourteen
hundred more names than was re-
quired. The campaign was started
only forty eight hours ago. Petitions
we're circulated at the polls during
Saturdays primary and were signed
by hundreds Of eager voters Sum
day. at the various churches through
out the county scores Of names were
added to the already long lists. :.
In fact. many all over the county
and city were eager to sign the petit
tions who were unable to do so.
Names we're added right up TO with
in three minutes Of the time when
the petitions were presented to the
] County Court.
There were no objections from any
sources and Judge Chsmplin set the
election to be held on October 4. Of
this year.
II Is not yet known whether or
not there will be organized oppo-
sition. The belief is freely expressed
by many in a position to know that
the liquor men. seeing no hope Of
success, will save the money that
would be necessary to make even an
unsuccessful campaign.
Under the law supplementary hst
can be fled August 24th and new
lists are being prepared for that date
and il is a foregone conclusion that
enough new names win be added 70

majority Of the 746l votes cast last
