tuberculosis Vies With War in
Death Toll

The mortality from tuberculO-

BILE with and may even exceed the
loss of life in battle according to
the statement of DIR. Livingston
Farrand, Director of the Ameri-
can Commission for the Proven
ton of tuberculosis in, France.
DIR. Farrand, who has been in
France during the past year, re-
turned ITO the United States in
June to attend the graduation ex-
ercises of the University of Colo

and has now gone back to France
to resume his work as head of the
commission.

That Ten-Mill Tax

Some of the Stars good friends
have asked it to support the pro-
posed ten-mill tax amendment for
the state schools. I'VE can't do
anything but oppose any effort to
increase the state and county tax
es OF the people at this time, when
the heaviest burden of war taxes
they have ever known is about to
be laid upon them. The schools
are receiving their full share of
the public money now. Every
thing in the way of public i'm
provements has been given to un-
derstand it must wait until the
war is over and the schools can
wait, too. The position of the
government is shown in it's ruling
the other day that no more school
houses should be erected till the
war is over. Let the people alb
stain from voting any more taxes
on themselves. They will have all
laid upon them they can stagger
under as it is.-Ocala Star.

their branches, and in some cases,
the trees themselves were cut
clean down. We were in reserve
and all day we waited for the re-
suit of the action. We heard the
Boehe was advancing, had cross
ed the Marine, and then rumors be-
gan to come that the Boche was
almost on us. We kept on wait
ing, but he didn't show up, and
then we heard that he had been
stopped AS soon as they found
that the Boche had been definitely
stopped, our company was sent a
little further to reorganize little,
as we had had fairly heavy cas-
ualties. A few days later we
heard that the Boche had been
driven back across the Marine, and
our company was rushed down to
the river to build a bridge across
bit for heavy traffic. A few pom
toon bridges had already been
thrown across in several places,
for the artillery, (that is the field
pieces) and the infantry, but we
had to put up permanent bridge.
We had fairly lively time for the
first two days, as we were still in
range of both his light and heavy
artillery, and he paid us consider
able attention at times, and twice
he came over with about eight or
nine planes and bombed us. The
first time the planes came over
they flew so low they even threw
hand bombs and grenades at us,
and got away with it as we had no
machine guns around to protect
us. The French then sent some
machine gun units up to protect
us, and Fritz must have known it,
because the next time he came O.
yer he flew high and only attack
ed us with bombs. Our luck was
certainly with us as we didn't
have single casualty while build
ing the bridge. | don't know

previously that the company was

HE LEARNED THE TRUTH

New York Times-Proud as the PEG.
pie of the United States have been.
and as they have had a right to be, of
the praises bestowed on their troops
abroad by the military and civil au.
thorities of our allies, we can be even
more pleased by the obviously and
utterly sincere tribute to the charac-
ter and quality of those troops that
has been made by a German intelli-
gence officer to his superiors.
The praises of our friends may have
been not less sincere; we can and do
believe that they were not. But there
is far more than a possibility that if
they had observed defects they would
have said nothing about them, and
their needs and their hopes would nat

the whole truth and nothing but the
truth, as he had gathered it from his
observation of our men as fighters and
from his questioning of them as pris-
oners.
If President Wilson and Gen Perish
ing, working together, had drawn up
a document telling exactly what they
wanted American soldiers to be and
do, it might well have duplicated every
word set down by this hostile but nee
essary veracious critic. His conclu-
sions, constituted nothing less than an
experts detailed description of perfect
soldiers. He credited them with all
gence, initiative, and discipline. He
admitted that nothing of information
could be extorted from them when
captured, and he dwelt in evident sur
prise and disappointment on the fact
that though many of them were what
he called half Americans'-sons Of
parents born in Europe-they were all
equally devoted to the cause of their
country and it's allies.

passage in the report. At any rate.

A FAST DAY SUGGESTED

Des Moines Capitalize man who
has never had a wound of his own
bound up knows little about other
peoples wounds.
The man who has once been partly
blind and has had his sight restored
better appreciates his eye sight.
The man who has been i'll and has
been neglected never fails to give at
%tention to a friend who may be sick.
The man who has at some time suf-
fered for want of food knows how to
appreciate food when he gets it.
The trouble is at the present time
in the United States so few people
have ever had calamities of their own.
They have been too highly blessed to
even realize the woes of their own
country.
We are engaged in a great war with
the most vicious nation in the world
and we are trying to deny ourselves
and We are making believe that we
are doing it.
We have occasional meatless days
and wheatless days, but even on such
days meat and wheat are accounted
for in some other dishes and We are
not denying ourselves at all.
With full stomachs it is difficult to
work ourselves up into the fullest SYM
pathy with the starving ONE and
babies in Belgium, Poland, Armenia
and other countries which have been
put on the starvation list by the spon-
sors of kultur.
Millions of American people have
never experienced real hunger. They
do not know what it is. 1t sounds like
something far distant. The majority
of our people are over fed, yet have
been over fed so long that they deny
it.
Something ought to happen to cause
our people to more intensely know
and feel in regard to the suffering
that is going on in the world. We
suggest that those who have never
been hungry excepting for a few min
uteS try an experiment. Let them cut
off their three square meals a day for
a time-for several days at least.
thus they might learn something con-
corning the pangs Of hunger and thus
they might be put into shape to SYM

who are now being starved in many
parts Of Europe and in parts Of Asia

HOW OUR BOYS FIGHT
By Richard Henry Little

BY Richard Henry Little
(Mr. Little is in the Y. M. c. A. ser.
vice on the Atlantic and wrote the
following narrative on his return to
New York from a troopship voyage).
New York is very dull compared
with Paris. In Paris we have so
many of the brave Americans, and
we spend the afternoons sitting in
the sidewalk cafes cheering the
blushing Americans as they walk
somewhat sh~amefacedly past.
American soldiers are grand fight
ers, but poor matinee idols. When
women spring from their seats in the
sidewalk cafes and thrust flowers in
their hands they look as ashamed as
a dog caught stealing eggs.
The most awful suffering l saw in
Paris was the case of a big husky
from an infantry outfit. A lady of dis
tinction had stopped her machine in
the middle of the street while the
soldier was crossing, and leaning out
had enthusiastically tied a bright pink
ribbon around his neck. Amidst
much rejoicing from the assembled
French spectators the lady went her
wav and the big soldier looked as il
he were about to choke to death, al
though it was a very thin ribbon and
loosely tied. | saw him an hour lat
or and he still wore the ribbon and
was evidently in terrible pain.
Listen said the infantry husky
in a hoarse whisper, the captain said
we was to receive any compliments
given us by the French with a smile
and show 'em we appreciated and
not hurt their feelings by ditching
it. but if | have to wear this pink
ribbon around me neck for another

the leg. For the love of Mike. do
something!"
| removed the ribbon from the suf,
fering soldiers neck, and, after A
while, he grew calm and quite ra'
tional, and he told me some stories
of the front regarding the first as
sault of the Americans against Cha
teau Thierry.
"They can't hold us guys" he said
when we git started we just keep
goin'. All anybody says is jest Kill
'em, kill EN- and, oh boy, you ought
to see our lads go to 1t!
Our fellows are good three ways
First they shoot. Then they are as
quick as cats, and they certainly
move fast. Then they are hands with
the knife, but honest, it beats me how
our fellows took to this bayone,
thing. We've never been much or

the knife at home, except for eating
pie and peas and potatoes with it.
Maybe it's because we're SO handy
eating with it that we're so doggoned
good when it comes to easing it into
the boche, but, believe me-, our fell
lows are certainly some classy in
handling this bayonet stuff. The
boches are slow and clumsy as baby
elephants compared with our boys.
THE Huns always make a head
thrust at us and expect us to throw
up our guns and parry. Well, we do
that, but while We're adoin' it we
kick 'em in the stummick and that
kind of upsets 'em, and then we
Adams apple 'em, and after that they
amt on the kaiser's payroll no more.
There at Chatty Teery the officers
was making an awful holler about the
boys running too fast II ducking
right through the barrage and not
paying attention to nothing except
spearin' boches. Our colonel came
over before we started and he was
most particular like in pointing out
a bunch of rock where he wanted our
battalion to halt.
The major said all right. that he
would stop his four companies right
on the line of them rocks, and then
we started. We got it right in the
nose from every boche in front of
us, but the boys just yelled and
laughed and away they went. Say,
they didn't pay any more attention
to the major when we came to them
rocks than if he hadn't been there at
all.
Il went back to give him a mes
sage from my captain, and he was
standing by the rocks and up came
the colonel and the colonel gave the
major blinkin' hell for not stopping
the battalion where he said, and the
major was madder'n a hornet, and

fingers the delusion that, however it
may be with our soldiers of other
ethnic strains, we can get no whole
hearted service from men of German
blood. They might have learned the
truth from our casualty lists and our
citations for special gallantry, in both
of which Germanic names are con
stantly appearing.
