Make Glad the Heart of Some
Soldier Boy at the Front.

Write to the soldier boys, and
especially those at the front
and near the front overseas.
II you have no boy of your own
over there, write to some other
boy. You probably have no idea
how gladly your letter will be
received. 1t is not necessary
that you be intimately acquaint-
eds with him. If he is froli
Santa Cruz county write to him
and tell him how proud you are
of him. He will be .'ticlzled to
death" to get the letter and you
will feel all the yetter for hav-
ing shown that you remember
him and appreciated his loyalty
to his country and your coun-
try. Also it will be a great en-
couragement to him. Here is
what a soldier boy on the front
in France wrote to a friend.
Our head sergeant gets UP
on a box with his arms loaded
with letters and calls out 'Mailn
It goes along the line like wild
fire. Mhere it usually takes
the men about five minutes to
assemble for drill call or police
duty, and about two or three
minutes for mess call, I'll bet
that within thirty seconds the
whole company is assembled
when they hear The Nails In.
Then they all stand as silent as
if it were a funeral so as not tc
miss a single name as the SER
geant calls them out. Some go
leaping and yelling with joy
with two or three letters, Or
perhaps with one. The more
unfortunate one often leave
with tears in eyes. The day
the mail comes in is a bigger
day than pay day."
It will not take much of
your time to write few lines
to a soldier, so that at. "the
great expectation" when he
stands Gas silently as if it were
a funeral" he will not be COM
PEELED to turn away disappoint-
ed. This should be mode a
duty by every man and woman
so that when those boys over
there assemble for "mail call, ;"
Santa Cruz county boys will
not leave with tears in their
eyes,"

FRENCH MAKE GAINS
MANGlN'S TROOPS ADVANCE
NEAR CHEMlN DIES DANES.
Take VailIy and Occupy Plateaus and
Capture $500 Prisoners in Drive
on Stronghold.

London, Sept 17.-By slow but re-
lentleSS advances the French under
General Mangin are forcing the Ger
mans from their positions at the west
ern end of the Chemin DIES Danes de-
lenses until today it is believed IA
many quarters here the enemy soon
must give up part Of this line, which
protects Laon from the south.
The French war Office statement in
announcing that Marshal Foch's forces
have taken Vailly, on the north bank
of the Aisne. and have occupied the
plateaus north and east OF NGuxaillOn
and Celles-sur-Aisne, reveals the grad
ual progress toward the Chemin des
Danes, which now Is less than half n
mile away at points.
North of Laffaux mill, the French
also have taken Mont des SingeS.
The Germans have come forward re-
peatedly in this region in an effort to
stay the advance of General Mangin,
but in the local fighting here for n
week have slowly but surely been
driven back. The fierceness and stub
bOEDness of their resistance, Is shown
by the official announcement that the
French have taken more than $500
prisoners in these recent operations.
On the British front Field Marshal
Haig's men have advanced eastward
from Ypres, and in the neighborhoOd
of La Basse Farther to the south
the lines have been thrown out until
posts have been re-established at Oppy
and Sauchy-Cauchy, north OF the Ar
raS-Cambrai road.
HavrncOurt and GouZeaucourt, still
farther to the south, have been under
heavy artillery fire.

General Mangin's troops not only
