|, London, Oct. l3.-"American SOL
diers seem to grow in the night so
that each morning there are more
OF them than before" writes Brit
ish soldier in France to his rela-
tives in England. Americans are
the topics of conversation every
where" he continues. THE villages
are full of them.
Their automobile trucks are on all
the roads, and their columns of in
fantry are everywhere. We are
beginning to know the songs they
sing and the phrases they use.
To many of US they were a COM
plete mystery at first. We had heard
Of America only as a distant coun-
try. Then suddenly they were in
France-tall, well-trained men with
genius for making friends and
adapting themselves to new condi-
tons. We watched them with curl
+osity at first, surprised to find how
like they were to other men.
Then They Start Fighting.
Then, before we had quite re-
covered from the first pleasant sur
prise, they were hghting-rfaking a
reputation in a trade where the test
is not easy. They came up from their
villages singing, and filtered into
the trenches, more and more of them
each day. The papers began to talk
about their fighting, but we thought
surely they cannot be doing much
yet And then all at once we be-
gan to see for ourselves, and we
were of the opinion straightway that
the papers had not grasped the Won
der of the facts. . y
They were so keen and so fresh,
those first Americans. And every
day others as keen and fresh are 60
ing up the line, and every day their
places are being taken in the vii
lagos by yet others. What would
the Germans say if they really knew
ALI this. one wonders.
Take War Seriously.
They are merry and light-heart-
ed, but underneath they are taking
this business very seriously. and
some of their talk shows it. That's
the way to take ones fighting, you
know-neither too much in earnest
which is morbid-nor too much Of
joke-whicl1 is foolish. The wise
man is he who neither overrates
himself nor undertakes danger. The
Americans are wise men.
The peasants like them; the old
French mothers mother them. They
have an instinct which gives them

CHURCHES HOLD
SERVICE after
five WEEKS BAN
Lessons Derived From the
Spanish Influenza Favored
Topic With Pastors Of
Churches.

The Omaha churches opened yes
terday and held their customary
services for the first time since Sun
day. FIVE weeks ago.
Some of the pastors preached SER
mons upon the Spanish influenza cpl.
demic. which has laid its heavy toll
of death upon the people in the last
few weeks. Rev. Harry B. Foster
at the Dundee Presbyterian church
spoke on Lessons From the Epi-
demic," showing that to the true
Christian even the heavy hand of at
Fiction has in it possibilities of last
ing blessing and good.
The churches were attended ex-
traordinarily well. The beautiful
weather was partly responsible for
this. But there was another reason,
the very natural thankfulness in the
hearts of the great majority that
they and theirs had been preserved
from "the terror that wslketh IN
darkness and the pestilence that
wasteth at MONDAY"
And in every congregation it
seemed there were those in deep
black to whom others spoke in SYM
pathetic tones after the services.
At St. Marks English Lutheran
church Rev. A. B. Marshall of the
Presbyterian Theological seminary
filled the pulpit. He quoted the
scripture, "in the midst of life we are
in death" in referring feelingly to
the death of the pastor of this
church, Rev. S. de Freese, who IS
the first victim of the epidemic in
Omaha. ,Sses
1t seemed good to the churchgoers
who know the joys of the worship
in the house of Zion" to be back
in the public services from which
they had been shut for so long. And
the fellowship of the large eongre-
cations was particularly close and
warm.

busy man and the devil never did

However, if one of the boys who
has received a pass does not come
