WOUNDED YANKEE SOLDIERS
GET BEEF AND SMOKES

A truck load Of fresh beef went
rushing up to a certain hospital be-
hind the front at the order Of an
American general Tuesday night. The
general had visited a large number Of
our wounded at noon, passing from
cot to cot, inquiring:
well, boys, what al I do for your
This is the answer l got" he said
Wednesday telling of the visit:
General, can't you get US some
good old beefsteak smothered in on
ions? They want to keep feeding US
soup. And, general, a few smokes
wouldn't go bad
Il knew Just how they felt. They're
going to get their beefsteak, onions
and smokes. They can have anything
they want from me; I like that crowd
Among several hundred wounded
the general heard only three COM
plants about treatment. The dough-
boys are showing a wonderful spirit of
se~lf-sacriice. For example, the doc
tors passed along n spot where
wounded lay stretched beneath trees
The doctors were picking gu the
cases to be sent to the rear.
Don't take me, doc; take Bill, there.
I'm not in bad shape. I can stand il

Shut up, Shorty" answered Bill
You go yourself. You're dying. and
know it, and I'll knock what's left OF

other word"
Another scene: 1t took place We'd
nesday morning in a hospital farther
in the rear. where a young Kentuck-
ian lay MORALLY wounded. Unable &c
speak. he beckoned to a nurse and
made signs indicating that he was
thirsty. She brought him a glass OF
water. He drank it eagerly, then mo-
toned her to stoop near the side OF
his cot. He patted her on the cheek.
then closed his eyes.
His heart had ceased beating.

HUN OFFICERS TELL SOLDIERS
ENEMY WILL EAT THEM

Continued rain has turned the
Flanders front at many places into an
almost impossible mire, while all 9TH
er parts of the front are wet and sog-
gy. Some parts are u~nfavorable for
launching an assault against the Brit
ish lines, even if the enemy should
have some such plan In mind.
So far as the German soldiers them
selves are concerned, they seem per-
fectly satisfied TO push matters. for
their officers haze been telling them
extraordinary tales in order to make
them fight, instead OF submitting 10
capture. Prisoners say they were
warned the New Zealanders we're OPP
posite, and that on no account should
they allow themselves TO be taken alive
as the Australians and New Zealand
ers we're cannibals. They were told
that they would be offered cigarettes.
and eaten directly after. All the
prisoners, much TO the establishment
Of their captors, firmly declined TO &C
cept cigarettes.

EATING HOUSES RELEASED
FROM VOLUNTARY PLEDGE
Baking Regulations and Serving OF
"YictOry- Bread to Continue As At
Present Throughout the Country.

Release Of hotels, restaurants, clubs
and dining car services throughout the
country on August l from the volun-
tary pledge to use no wheat until the
present harvest was announced Sun
day in a cablegram received in Wash
ington, d. c., from Food Administra-
tor Hoover, now in England. Public
eating places, the food administrator
said. will continue to comply with bak-
ing regulations and to serve victory
bread.
Mr.. Hoover congratulated the eat
ing houses upon their patriotic ser
vice and voiced confidence that the
spirit shown will enable the American
people to build up a great food re-
serve against the e%xigencies Of the
future.
Though exact figures have not
been compiled, it was estimated Sun
day by the food administration that
through the voluntary pledge made
by hotels, restaurants, clubs and din
ing cars there has been effected be-
tween October l, 1917, and August l,
1918, a saving of between 175. 900 600
and 200. 0O0, 900 pounds Of wheat and
its products. $50. 900, 900 pounds OF
meal and 50,000,000 pounds of sugar
The action Of the proprietors Of pub
lie eating places, it was said, also has
been of great educational value in
carrying to the homes Of the nation
the necessity of food saving.

STUDENT NURSES.
An Opportunity for Young Women for
National Service.

The government is calling for $4,000
young women to join the United States
nurse reserve and hold themselves in
readiness to train for service as nurses.
The war is creating an u~nprecedent-
ed demand for trained nurses. Only
those who have taken the full train
ing course are eligible for service with
our forces overseas These nurses are
being drawn largely from our hospi-
tails at home. Their places must be
filled by student nurses enrolled for
the full training course of from W to
three years. Every young woman who
enrolls in the United States student
reserve is releasing a nurse for ser
vice at the front and swelling the
home army which we must rely on to
act as our second line of hospital de-
tense. Upon the health of the Ameri-
can people will depend the spirit OF
their fighting forces.
The call is for women between the
ages of nineteen and thirty-tive. Full
information and application blanks
may be had from Miss Nettie Rice at
the county offices. chairman of Wo-
mems Council of National Defense.

SHIPYARD SLACKERS
WILL HAVE TO FIGHT
Emergency Fleet Corporation Calls
Upon Men TO Report Their Status.

Only employees whose loss would
retard ship production will retain
emergency fleet deferred classihca-
ton in the selective draft, it was an
nounced Wednesday by the Emergency
Fleet corporation. All applications
Of employees for such deferred clas-
sifcation must be approved by divi-
sion heads and finally passed on by
Howard Coonley, vice president.
A general order, issued Wednesday
night, calling on employees TO report
their status, says:
THE United States shipping board
Emergency Fleet corporation will not
aid any drafted man to secure at his
own instance emergency fleet listing
deferred classification in the draft,
or any delay Of induction into the mill
tary service.
when the United States shipping
board Emergency Fleet corporation
seeks emergency fleet listing defer
red classification in draft, or delay in
induction into military service for
drafted men, it is to be clearly under
stood that such request will be con
fined to cases where the qualifications
Ol anu btIFlLED WuIIn are DEll6 lEn
dered by the drafted men are, from
the national viewpoint, more essen
tial for ship production than for mill
tary service"
Reports of employees as to their
status under the selective service act
are TO be sent to Vice President Coon
ley at Philadelphia before August 10
The reports will be referred to division
and section chiefs, who will be re-
quired to submit a brief to Mr.. Coon
ley, giving reasons why the men are
more necessary for ship construction
than for military service.
In commenting on the order, Mr..
Coonley made the following statement:
1.-The officers of the United States
shipping board Emergency Fleet cor
poration feel that they should ask for
exemption for those individuals only
who have special experience and abil-
ity which makes them essential TO the
successful carrying out of the ship
building program. In such cases the
officials took the position that it is
the duty of the individual to subordin-
ate a natural desire for active service
at the front to greater service which
he can render in the ship building pro
gram. It is therefore his patriotic
duty to be governed by our judgment
in the matter. In cases other thar
these, il is felt that the greatest ma.
tional good can be rendered by enter.

CLEANUP ABOUT DUE

From ail reports; notwithstanding war con-
ditioEs, but rather partly because Of them. the
beautiful sceneries along the Alaska coast are
making stronger appeal to the people Of the
states than ever before. and today these reports
say that every visitor Of former years is de-
voted apostle. Apparently, the lure Of the north
remains as strong as ever. Every mail brings
us letters of inquiry. Yesterdays mail brought
us letter in which the writer says: Il have
heard great deal about the Banana Belt Of
Alaska" and plan to spend few months there
abouts this summer" and he asks for informa-
ton. This suggests that we are about due for
q spring cleanup.
