OUR OWN PEOPLE
 IN THE WAR
THE STORY OF A HOME REGIMENT THAT IS TRY ING TO PULL THE KAIS-
 FER FROM HIS
 THRONE.

Few people know that there is regiment in the Southwest playing a great part in the war. Initsranks are to be found girl school teacher; confederate veteran of ", maimed for life in the war; there is an alder man, some locomotive engineers, a doctor, and several clergy men. Many women are in the ranks of this strange regiment. The uniform consists of we'll worn civilian clothing, the regi- mental motto is Service; it's standard the Stars and Stripes. To explain further, there is in a certain city in the Southwest of about 12,OO0 inhabitants set of people, drawn chiefly from tho@ not rich in this worlds goods; who have made up their minds that they must personally help win the war. They have read carefully the advice given by the Government, they have de. vised ways and means of their own to accomplish their object, and they have placed themsel- yes on record, in writing, over their signature, that they have done certain things, and will do certain things in the future, to win this war.
 Their records and pledges constitute

AGAINST THE GERMANS

PARIS. June 1-whiIe the German
advance toward Paris is being per-
haps slowly but surely stopped, the
enemy continues his aerial offensive
against the French capital Another
alarm was given Parisians at IL
o'clock last night when German air
planes were reported as having
crossed the lines
Early this morning the German long
range guns continued to fire shells
Into the Paris region. No one, how
ever, was worried about the gun, his
thoughts being elsewhere at the mo-
ment. Nevertheless the French peo-
pie ask for reprisals not only for the
long gun bombardment, but for the
numerous raids to which Paris has
been subjected.
One shell fired into the Paris region
yesterday hit church, which made
the French very bitter. Most of the
French press say there should be no
more needing German. desires to be
spared air bomba rdments. The news

. THE HAGUE. May 31-The fall of
scissors and the fighting advance on
the Marine have at last given the sig
nal for an outburst, still cautiously
restrained, however. Of jubilation on
the part of the German press. And
for the first time a possible threat
to Paris is hinted, although the ut
most pains are taken to prevent the
arousing of excessive hopes in the
breasts of the German people.
No single news item of real mill
tary Information is permitted to leak
out regarding the highest leaderships,
objective or expressive of the inside
German view of the probable outcome
of the present offensive.
The air of mystery continues to be
preserved by Ludendorfrs personal or.
ders. A typical press view is the fol-
lowing from the critic Of the vossiche
Zeitung. He says:
Even today We don't know yet
whether the main attack will develop
out Of this victory. One thing only we
know. that Hindenburg has the re-
serves at his disposal which the high
est leadership lacked during the battle
OF the Marne."
