This Is not the first time by any means that fair France has been threatened with destruction by the barbarians. Some fif- teen centuries ago the Mohammedan hordes overran Europe and half of France and were only checked and beaten at the Loire by the brave warriors of Charles Mar tel, known as Charles the Hammer, at Tours. France was in worse straits then than now, and she prevailed then, even as she will prevail again. Writing of the bat tie of Tours and its importance to the rest of the world and to posterity, Gibbon said:
 But for it perhaps the interpretation of the Korean would now be taught in the schools of Oxfcrd, and her pulpits might demon strate to circumcised people the sanctity and truth of the revolution of Mohammed

American soldiers now walk the paths of glory one thousand years old We cannot conceive at this time of the part we elected to play when we took up arms against the Hun and sent the flower of our youth to France But posterity will view with ear nest and constant eye the picture of today and will fix its value in the history of the world Consider, our soldiers before Mont didier hold ground that Charlemagne' legions held when they took that city from the German barbarians more than one thousand years ago.

HARTMAN SUGGESTED
AS GUARD CAPT AIN

At a meeting held in the city hall
last evening and attended by 25 OF
80 men. the subject of a national
guard company for Penofeton was
discussed and a committee of five was
named to make further invcstigat ions
and to proceed with organizat ion
work if found desirable. This COM
mlttee consists of E. B. Aldrich, Ben
Dupuis. S. A. Stubbs, G. II. Johnson
and Brooke Dickson.
At the meeting last night the re-
quirements of guard company were
explained and, it was made clear that
the formation of such Il company here
would not be antagonistic to the
county guard companies. the chief
difference between the national guard
and the county guard being that the
former is subject to call cor state and
federal service whereas the county
guard rs not.
George Hartman was suggested last
night for the captalncy If the pro-
posed company

SIX WEEKS VS.. Is WEEKS

~ HE allies captured 1885,
W. 600 prisoners between
July 15 and August 81.
What that means may be un-
derstood when it is recalled
that the Germans never claim
ed more than 10000 allied pris-
oners during the four months
of the Hun offensive fighting
this year. In other words we
have inflicted heavier losses on
the enemy in six weeks than
they were able to inflict on the
allies in 16 weeks.
What is more Foch is MAX
ing his present gains without
any such staggering losses as
Hindenburg suffered during his
four big drives this year. The
allies move forward not as an
army goaded to stake all on
desperate plunges but as a
force moving with percision and
deliberation. Hindenburg failed
after using his trumps. Foch
has not yet used his trumps.
They consist of the rapidly
growing American army which
to date has not been fighting in
real force.
