to drag for so much as a day, and above all we should not permit our people to fall under the spell of pacifist dreams or possible pacifist actions. There should be no inter- mission of so much as a week in sending our troops across the sea-
 This war won't be won by food, or by money, or by savings, or by thrift stamps, or by the Red Cross, or by anything else, although these will help win the war It will be won by the valor of the fighting men at the front. And this valor will fail unless our fighting men at the front are millions strong.
 Every week this summer and fall we should be putting fresh roops by scores of thousands across the ocean, and now, today, this week, we should provide for placing a larg- CT army in the field next spring than Germany itself, or France or England combined We are more populous and richer country than Germany; we have a larger popula- tion than Great Britain and France combined. These nations have fought for four years. We have only just begun to fight.
 Let us at once mobilize the whole man power of this country between the ages of 19 and 50, or 60. The draft should take in all men of 19, even if they were not sent abroad until they were 20 years old Let us act at once. Perhaps we can beat the Germans this year if we keep pouring our troops over with the utmost speed. But let us take no chances. Let us proceed upon the assumption that Germany will fight next spring, and therefore, let us act instantly, so that by spring we will have in France an army of fighting men, exclusive of non- combatants and exclusive of home depots, which shall amount to four million armed soldiers at the very least. Let us fight beside the French the British, the Italians, and be ready to fight instantly in the Bal kan peninsula and in Asia Minor against the Germans and all her vassal states. There must be no de lay, not by so much as one hour and no letting up for one momen. in the cause of our entire strength

AMERICAS JOB
(By Theodore Roosevelt)

There is no American worth call ing such whose veins do not thrill with pride when he reads of what has been done by General Pershing and his gallant army in France. The soldiers over there who wear the American uniform have made all good Americans forever their debt ors. Now and always afterward we and this country will walk with our heads high because of the men who face death and wounds, and so many of whom have given their livas for this nation and for the great ideals of humanity across the sea.
 But we must not let our pride and our admiration evaporate in mere pride, in nNere admiration, of what others have done. We must put the whole strength of this na- tion back of the fighting men at the front. We owe it to them. We owe it at least as much to the gallant Allies, who for nearly four years fought the great battle that was our battle, no less than theirs.
 At last we have begun to come to their assistance, but let us sol emnly realize that we came very late, and that it is dreadful thing if we waste one hour that can now be saved, or weaken in the smallest degree any effort that can be made. The inability, or refusal, of the Bol- sheviki Russia to do her part in the great war for liberty and democracy has cast a terrible added burden upon the Allies. On the Eastern front this has meant the temporary Allied ruin and the freeing of the armies of the autocracy for action against the Western peoples. Eng land, France and Belgium for four years, and Italy for over three years have been fighting the battle of civilization. Their man power is terribly depleted. Thank Heaven, we have got some hundreds of thous- ands of soldiers across in time to be a real element in saving Paris. Temporarily, at least, and I hope permanently, we have done our part in this respect But the least fal- tering, the least letting up, or fail ure in pushing forward our pre- parations and our assistance would be dangerous to the Allied cause and wicked desertion of our Allies
 From now on America should make this peculiarly Americas war From now on we should take the burden of the war upon our should CTS. We should move forward at once with all the force that there IS in us. We should not allow the war -. -.

DANGER NOI GREAT NOW
 AYERS VETERAN

An American Aerodrom sin Eng land.-Flying in the air is becoming rapidly more safe, veteran instruc- ors at the British-American aero dromes in England tell their pupils. The proportion of casualties during training in the Air Force are now no higher, they say, than in any other branch of combatant service.
 During there years flying ex- perience I have seen upwards of fifty crashes, but I have not yet seen any man receive more than skin-deep injuries as the result of these crashes" declared Lieutenant L. Walmsley, of the Royal Air Force, in a talk with American air men recently
 Probably my experience has been unusually fortunate, but statistics show that the proportion of fatalities to crashes is extraordinary small
 Some of the first airplane acci- dents were due to the collapse of the machine in mid-air, and because the pilot in those days was merely strapped to a board or strut, with out any covering whatever, the re- suits were mostly fatal. The intro- duction of the fuselage or body, made strongly of steel and wood in which the pilots and passengers seats were placed, made it possible for an airplane to fall great heights without the occupants being killed Because of the central position of the fuselage, this is always the last part to feel the effects of a crash, the main force of which is broken by the under carriage and planes, which act as buffers.
 "Two days after l joined the Royal Air Force I saw a machine come down in a giddy spinning dive and land squarely on the roof of one of the hangars. The pilot climbed out, and lighting a cirar- cite, calmly asked if the other ma chine was ready
 During the next few weeks. I saw no fewer than five crashes, and not in a single case was either pilot or observer hurt.
 Since then, in nearly three years of flying, l mu;t have seen perhaps fifty crashes. I have seen airplanes crash into hangars, stone walls, houses, lamp-posts. trenches, motor lorrles and bridges. Personally have crashed into a barn, on 2 tennis court, in a flooded field, and into a tropical forest; the last at a speed of 50 miles an hour. And in all these adventures, I have not vet seen man receive anything worse than a skinned nose as the result or crash, and the only wound I ever got myself was made by a thorn from a prickly pear bush.
 An alrman can usually tell when a crash is inevitable, and like light ning he must make up his mind how ne can use his undercarriage and planes If necessary, to best advant- age first of all to save the life of ms observer and his own, and if possible to save the engine, the most valuable part of the machine.
 He may have to pancake into a patch of bush, or he may have to ny deliberately between two trees ana strip his wings; but so long as ne keeps his head the chances 'l making successful crash are greatly in his favor"

were we'll rewarded as they uncovered
ledge that shows width of some
16 feet on the surface, and although
the entire width of the ledge Is not
continuous ore, the greater part of
the quartz is well mineralized and
to all appearances the mineralized
portion carries high grade of molly
bdenum. So far the triumvirate of
miners have only scratched the sur
face, but what has shown up encour-
ages and justfies more extensive re-
search. They have demonstrated
that there is more than a single vein,
or ledge, but the main lead Is of an
extent that promises ample reward
to the operators. Its size and char
acter cannot be determined bys the
small amount of work so far done,
but there Is a perfect foot wall and
every evidence Of large deposit of
mineral. Messrs. Jaggers, Collie and
Agen are very much elated over the
| find, as well they may be, considering
the value of the mineral and the evil
dent extent of the same. OF course
they are not going to rest with the
ledge merely uncovered. 1t is the in
tention to go down on the vein, cross
cut and determine the full extent of
the find. With this second discovery
! of molybdenum much interest will
probably be aroused among prospec-
tors and miners and more of it is
liable to be found upon careful in

did. However, the news is reassur-
ing in the fact that he Is able to
write, that he Is in a cheerful state
of mind, and so enthusiastic over the
way the allies were putting the boots
to the Huns. 1t is known that the
9th Field Artillery has been taking a
prominent part in the counter offen-
sive on the SOissOns-Rheims salient,
and 1t is presumed that Durward was
knocked out in that great advance.
The friends Of the boy. and the family
trust that he will speedily regain his
health and strength. His intense
Americanism cannot be improved up
on through injury from shot or shell,
and it should shame some of the stay
at-homes who show a disposition to
show more love for the Hun than the
noble and plucky American boys at
the front offering their lives that
these same dis loyal individuals may
have free country in which to live
and prosper.
Young Smith was only % years of
age in July. He volunteered in the
army May q. 1917, shortly after the
declaration of war, ana was assigned
70 the 9Th Field Artillery, a regular
regiment After brief training in the
south the regiment was among the
first American troops sent to France,
and 1t has seen asfd -scrvicc on the
firing line. We honor the lad as the
first Oroville boy to shed his blood in
the glorious cause of democracy and
humanity. May his example be an
inspiration to all loyal men, old and
Young, to stand by the government in
this time of dire need and danger.

WOUNDED AT THE FRONT

Durward Smith, son of Mr.. and
Mrs. c. w. Smith, of this place, and
well known by all our people. is the
ilrst Oroville victim of the kaiser's
brutes. Fortunately the young mans
injuries, whatever their extent may
De, are not of a dangerous character,
as they have not incapacitated him
from writing, nor have they quelled
his enthusiasm for the service Mrs.
Smith received a postal card from
Durward Monday evening, August 12,
written and post marked in France
July ~, and that is pretty rapid tran
sit for a communication travelling so
long distance. 1t was the first in
timation that the family had that
there was anything wrong with the
boy. The postal reads as follows:
Il hope you will receive this mes
sage. am not at all bad off. | am
in French hospital. but will be sent
to an American hospital this after
noon Do not worry. | will try and
write you later. We sure had them
on the run, and they are still going"
His address on the card is given as

can e. F., France. l--ss--..'gr--,-
The information contained In the
postal card is vague and unsatisfac-
tory as to the cause that sent him to
the hospital. He may be either
wounded, gaced or shell shocked
Hardly either of the latter or he would
not be able to write so plainly as he
