Memorial Day

In accordance with the custom OF
the Grand Army OF the Republic.
Thursday, May 3Oth, will be observed
as Memorial Day.
The approach OF another Memorial
Day finds us in the shadow OF u great
war. Let our observance OF the day
be such as to evidence our unswerv-
country. The mightiest military
power the world has ever known has
compelled us TO draw the sword for
the maintenance Of our national honor
and the defense OF free government.
Today not only are our sons and our
grandsons einulating the deeds OF
their sires, in upholding the honor Of
the old Flag, but our hearts are glad
dened by the fruition OF the hope OF
Lincoln. and the sons and the grand
sons Of the followers OF Lee Are
marching shoulder to shoulder with
the sons and the grandsOns Of the fol-
lowers OF Grant. under the Stars and
Stripes. and all are offering their
lives in the service OF u united coun-

her portrayal was most apt. Miss
Eva Anderson also very cleverly dou-
bled in the part of Mrs. Allaire a
chaperone. Orvis Hayes as Bobby
Byrnes rendered an excellent peevish-
ness and aversion to college women
close to perfection.
William Illman as Billy Best gave a
good delineation of the typical ego
tistical captain of the varsity team
and Electra Boehnert as Emmy Lou
Norton displayed her fondness for
fairy tales and will be a fit subject if
she ever gets married when her hus-
band attempts to spring a few "fairy
tale" about being "kept out late
attending lodge" or "sitting up with
a sick friend" and other stock fairy
tales told by husbands to their trust
ing wives.
The able versatility of Miss Bernice
Hagen was brought into service when
she was required to double in the
part of Louise Hawkins one of the
boarders and one would be most for
tunate in getting as clever and aniable
a maid as that portrayed by Miss
Anna Wilson. Delphine Norton, a
typical college graduate with all the
accompanying conceits and ubiquit-
ness of the usual of college grad
yates was cleverly depicted by Miss
Alice Nelson in a manner worthy of a
veteran of the stage.
Norman Bliss as the blunt and aus
tere Charles Norton, owner of the
factory around which the plot is
bound gave a clean-cut and natural
portrayal of a rich captain of indus
try who had gained his richie sfrom the
sweat of his employees.
The production of 1.-THE Dream That
Came True" was most ably handled
by the young folks of the high school
and revealed considerable talent ir
many instances and showed that q
great amount of preparation had beer
given to the details before being pre-
sented to the people of Glasgow ant
it is hoped that the young people may
again be prevailed upon to produce tn,
drama.
Between acts a number of musica
selections were given, which wer'
most heartily encored, including a vo
cal solo by Ray Cannon, a vocal sol
by Miss Lola Frankforther and in
strumental music on the violin an,
piano by Miss Viola Shoemaker an,
Miss Frankforther.
The high school auditorium wa
filled to capacity and greater inter
est was taken in the production of tn
. play than in any other event ever Civ
en- by the schools of Glasgow.
To Miss Johanna Lind is given du
credit for her untiring work in drill

WAR M

Striking viciously at the en-
emv at various points along the
western battle front, meeting
each outburst of German artii,
lerv with a thunder of cannon
Are. and maintaining the mas
terv of the air in every sector
from the North sea to the Swiss
frontier, the armies of the en-
tente allies are preventing the
Tentonic armies from quietly
perfecting their preparations
for coming battles. With the
knowledge that the passing of
each day brings new American
regions to help crush the next
German offensive, the allies are
finding satisfaction in the fact
that the Germans have as vet
been unable to launch a new
blow in the struggle which
Berlin had expected to be the
decisive one Of the war.
For the most part, the Ger
mans have shown but little of
their habitual fighting spirit
along the line in France. Thev
have been thrust back in four
sectors and the allies have sue
ceeded in winning ground which
will be of great Importance in
the future. But the Germans
have counter-attacks in only
one instance and this movement
was carried out so slowly and
with such a lack of dash that it
was easily broken up before the
Teutons reached the new allied
positions.
The attacks by the French
near Locre, on the northern side
of the Lys salient, and of the
Australians before Amends,
which have already been re-
ported, now appear to have
been more successful than was
at first understood. Near
Locre the French have not only
taken strongly fortified points,
but they have made secure their
lines on each side of Hill "a,
which they re-captured from
the Germans recently. The
Austrians, too, have O ground
which is of tactical import
ance along the Amiens sector.
They have gained higher
grounds which lends itself we'll
to defensive tactics and will
be valuable when the time
comes for stern BATTLE there.
The French still seem to be
the most active of the forces
of the entente nations. They
have again engaged in raiding
operations near Lassigny on
the flank of the German line as
it stands since the advance to-
ward Amiens.
On the American front there
has been the usual lively en-
+ change of artillery fire, but no
infantry fighting has occurred.
The same is true of the situa-
ton in the Italian theater Of
: the war.
A report from Athens states
that Turkish troops in Asia
minor have mutinied and that a
Z force sent to quell the disor-
der has deserted. 1t is said that
+ there have been many deser-
x lions from the Turkish garri-
: sons in towns along the Asia
= minor coast.
