Tales of the Friendly Forest
BY David Cory.
You remember in the last story
that Billy Bunny and Uncle Lucky
were out in the Luckymobile get
ting recruits for Uncle Samuels
army, and that they already had
oh, dear, I've got to count them, for
/ can't remember exactly whom
they did have. Well, first. there
was the wise Duck Doctor, DR..
Quack. and the Yellow Tramp Dog,
and Mr.. Mouse and the long-legged
Photographer Crane, and the Billy
Goat who ran the ferryboat in the
summer time and kept a grocery
store in the winter. And still there
was lots of room left in the Lucky
mobile, for Mr.. Mouse and DR.
Quack had crawled under the back
seat.
! Well, after they had gone little
ways, not SO very far, they came to
the cornfield where the Scarecrow
lived, and as soon as he saw Billy
Bunny and his rabbit uncle, he took
off his old weather-beaten hat and
said: Friend or enemy! Stop and
I'll salute you!" And this made
Billy Bunny laugh so hard that the
buttons nearly came OIL Uncle
Lucky's waistcoat.
I'VE need somebody to scare the
enemy" said Uncle Lucky. "Come
and join the army of Uncle Sam
and Aunt Columbia!" So the Scare
crow scrambled into the Luckymo-
bile andshway 1t went after some
body else, and by and by they came
across the Policeman Dog.
Come with u.s." said Uncle
Lucky.
II can't" said the Policeman
Dog. Il must stay at home and
look after burglars"
"All right" said Uncle Lucky,
land don't forget the spies!"
Well, by and by the Luckymobile
stopped before candy shop, and
Uncle Lucky asked them all in to
have a lollypop. But the Yellow
Dog Tramp said he'd rather have
ginger ale, and the Crane said he'd
rather have a coughdrop for his
throat was sore, and Mr.. Mouse
wanted some cheese, and forget
now what the others wanted, except
Billy Bunny, and he took two rasp-
berry lolfypops. And after that
they started on again, and by and
by they caught up with the old
stage coach. But the old dog driv-
er hated to give up his stage.
What will do with my team Of
Billy Coats?" he asked, land what
will people do without q stage
coach?"
Newer mind" replied Uncle
Lucky, your Uncle Samuel needs
you" So that settled It. and he
climbed onto the front seat with
the old gentleman rabbit and said
gidap to the Luckymohile; and
would you believe, the Luckymo-
bile started right on and would
have run up q telegraph pole, only
Uncle Lucky turned II to one side
just in time.
Lets all sing . little song,"s said
jolly Uncle Lucky, so they COM
menced to sing:
wen all be soldiers bold and
brave,
And we love the smell of powder.
Wen do our bit and carry our kit,
And on Friday eat clam chowder.
For what do we care for the shells
In the air,
Or the Zeppelins flying above us?
No danger We'll shun in our hunt
for the Hun,
And Wen fight for the allies that
love u.s."
And next time I'll tell you more

WASHINGTON, April 9.-American troops have not yet gone into battle in Picardy, Acting Secretary of War Crowell announced tonight in an ad dress to the National Conference of American Lecturers. He added how ever, that indications are that in the near future General Pershing's men will be actively opposing the Germans front.
 Germans Use Flower of Army
 The purpose of the German high command in it's thrust, MT. Crowell said, is to drive a wedge between the British and French armies, roll up the former force to the sea and capture the channel ports. No Bavarian or Austrian troops have been employed in the battle, the speaker asserted, the German leaders depending upon the Prussian troops, the flower of their army, to carry through to victory.
 Serious for Long Time
 "The situation will be serious for a long time" MT. Crowel declared. "The Germans have been going well and only heavy rainstornis have prevented them from making further progress Regarding Americas airplane pro- gram, MT. Crowell said there are more than 1000 qualified American army flyers in France and that 1000 ma chimes have been procured from the French and Italians.
 Claims Equipment Adequate
 When you hear of American sol. diers defending themselves from Ger man airplanes with their pistols. you need not believe it,9 the speaker sad Andre Tardieu, French high com- | missioner to the United States, said that to crush the German military ma : | chine. allied unity must extend be- | yond military command that it must be applied to war supplies, to food and ] to shipping.
 Speaking of Frances sacrifices he said that 100000 French soldiers have been killed in action or died ot wounds and that another 1000, 900 have been maimed, invalided or captured.
