predicted that America never
would be able to take any effec-
tive part in the war, not alone
because of the U-boats, but also
by reason of the impossibility of
placing an army of any size in
France.
But the United States is ac-
|customed to doing the unusual
thing. She calmly went about
doing what Germany said she
could not do. Men began to pour
into the training camps. Off
GERS were lacking to lead them,
$50 she trained officers to drill
and command them. She estab-
lished factories to equip them.
She constructed ship yards to
build ships to carry them. She
created a navy to protect them
ion the journey. She organized
a tremendous system to supply
them with their daily bread and
all the other daily needs, includ-
ing depots for the handling of
the supplies in France.
Now comes the news that
100, 900 men were sent to France
in one week. That means that
America is sending a half-mil-
lion men a month across. 1t
means that she will have more
than the million promised by the
Fourth of July. 1t means that
she will have many more than
the million and one-half prom
ised by the end of the year. It
means that the proposed army
of five million is no idle figure
Of speech.
Yet so accustomed are we to
think America equal to anything
she undertakes, so habituated to
taking whatever she does as a
matter of course, that we forget
the stupendous size of the task.
But when this war is over,
Americas record in organizing,
equipping, differing, training
and transporting this huge body
of fighting men across 5000
miles of submarine infested
ocean will stand as one of the
most wonderful accomplish
ments ever attempted and sue
cessfully eXecutedd in the his
tory of the world.

WAR SAVINGS STAMPS AND
BABIES.

Brand Whitlock, our minister
to Belgium when the German
hordes first entered that mar
tyred country and for three long
years thereafter, is now telling
us some of the things that hap
pened during that orgie of Ger
man lust. He writes in Every
body's" as follows:
"It was on that Sunday morn
ing of the 23d; the Germans had
swarmed down the Friedrau

road, entered the quarter of the
Penant, arrested the inhabitants
and took them to the Rocher

there, evidently as a screen,
while the Germans began to con-
struct a temporary bridge over
the river. The French were on
the other side, and now and then
they shot at the soldiers work.
ing there. The Germans, annoy
ed by the splitting, irregular fire,
sent a citizen of Dinant, one of
the prisoners, in a boat across
the river to inform the French
that unless they ceased firing
the civilians would be shot. M.
made his dangerous voyage,
accomplished his mission, and
returned to take his place among
his fellows. But a few stray bull
let's still sped across the river.
'Then was committed the
atrocious crime. The prisoners
were massed together, nearly 90
of them, old men and young,
women, girls, and boys, little
children, and babies in their
arms. A platoon was
called up; the colonel in COM
mand gave the word to fire, and
the gray soldiers, in cold blood
shot down those 80 persons as
they stood huddled there to-
gether. Among them were 12
under the age of 6
years, six of whom were little
babies, whose mothers, as they
stood up to face their pitiless
murderers, held them in their
arms.
"The six babies were the child
Flevet, 3 weeks old; Nellie Pol
let, IL months old; Maurice Be
temps, IL months old; Gilda
Genen, 18 months old; Gilda
Marchot, 2 years old, and Clara
Struvay, 2 years old.
Evening came; the soldiers
were fumbling among the mass
of dead. Some were still living /;
some, by a miracle, were unin-
jured. All these were dragged
from the pile of bodies and made
to dig a pit and tumble into it
the bodies of the victims of the
tragedy, their relatives, their
neighbors, and their friends"
There are two million reasons
why every American should buy
War Savings Stamps.

1t is cheaper to spend a lot of
to win the war than it
would be not to win it.

but the amount of revenue thus gain
ed has by no means made up for the
increase IN expenses due to the high
er cost of white paper, labor and
other essential items. Government
restrictions prevented newspapers
from exploiting their product and
increasing their calculations. Hun
dreds of concerns manufacturing
nonessentials were practically shut
down by the government cutting off
| advertising revenues from the news
papers. The taking over of the rail-
roads destroyed another great
source of income, but few COM
plants were made. Tie govern
ment insisted the things it was do
ing we've necessary to help win the
war, and that was enough.
At times Washington put up some
knotty problems to the newspapers.
In the same mail a publisher would
receive a notice to cut down the
amount ow white paper he was using
and another communication asking
him to devote several pages of news
and cartoons to boosting the Liberty
loan. The publishers even found
ways out of such dilemmas.
For time there was some agi-
tation by the newspapers to have
the government pay for the adver-
Using just as it was paying other
organizations for wark done. Moth
ing came of it, however, the pub
fishers declining to make an issue
of the matter while the question of
winning the war was at stake. As
1t was, space valued at millions of |
dollars was given gratis to the vari-
GUS departments at Washington.
Much of it was of little news inter
est but the government thought it
would help.-The Franklin Weekly |,

Louisiana Notes
The Newspapers Part.

The newspapers of the United
States may be well proud of the part
they played in helping to bring the
war to a successful conclusion. The
glorious story of how American pub
fishers cast aside all politics, buried
their animosities and ignored all
considerations to get behind the
country may never be told. 1t is
immaterial whether it ever is. The
newspapers are not seeking praise
for duty well performed; the mere
performance is sufficient reward.
1t has not been easy at all times
for newspapers to stand By their du-
ty. Hampered on all sides by res
trictions, many of them almost sub
merged by increasing expenses and
decreasing revenue, constantly ha-
ressed in mind as to which of sew
eral courses to follow the daily per-
iodicals nevertheless stood firmly for
the right and carried on.
1t is hardly necessary to mention
the work done by the newspapers in
solidifying sentiment for the war
their labors making the selective
draft and the various government
loans successes, and their assump-
ton Of the voluntary censorship
which made it possible to move mill
lions Of men about the country and
cross the submarine-infcs sea
without danger.
A great number of industries
made vast fortunes out of the war,
but the newspapers are not among
them. The publishers Of the United
States whd will be able to count
profits at the end Of this year will
be in hopeless minority. The
great majority will show losses, but
the deficits will cause few tears from
the publishers, says the St. Louis Re.

Theda Bara Coming!

To Our Patrons:
! Do you know that Theda Bara.
the greatest of all portrayers Of
vampire roles, has written her
Town play?
! You will have an opportunity.
to see this wonderful William
Fox star in her own super pro-
duction at the Arcade Theatre
on Wednesday, Dec. II. The
production is titled ''The Soul Of
Buddah." Miss Bara wrote this
play on the train coming from
California to New York, and
scenario experts at once pro-
nounced it a big winner.
It is only natural that in the
production of this-her own
play-Miss Rara strove to do
the greatest work of her career
on the screen and the finished
picture reects it. Critics have
pronounced it one ofthe biggest
pictures of the year. Miss Bara
appears in a role that is replete
with thrills, picturesque set
tings and grim tragedy.
In "The Soul of Buddah' Miss
Bara takes the part Of half
caste East Indian girl, the
daughter of a Javanese widow,
who wa sa devout believer in the
worship of Buddah. The East
Indian girl devotes all her spare
time to dancing weird dances.
Night after night she performs
for the populace. On one of these
occasions a tipsy Englis hsailor
tries to kiss her. Her mother
rascuos the Englishman from
the rath of the populace and the
mother consecrates her daugh-
ter to Buddah as sacred dane
ing girl.
After a time the religious at
noosnhnre pals on Bava and Miss
Bara starts some OF the most
wonderful sireeic acting she has
ever done. She falls in love with
a handsome English army officer
and forsakes her religion and
her Buddah oath. A child IS
born to the couple, which IS
marked for death by Ysora. q

teriously shot in the back, causing his
death. Frazell is a son-in-law Of Joseph

Ffazell accompanied 10y Steve Hoff-
man, Jr., fellaw hunter, went into the
woods with team to pick up the car
cass of a deer they had shot the day
before. When they came within the
vicinity Of the carcass the team became
frightened. Hoffman managed the team,
while Frazel1 went to get the deer. A
few minutes after he had gone for the
deer, Hoffman heard a shot and heard
Fraze1l call for help. He Immediately
rushed to the place from whence the
calls came. On reaching the spot he
found Frazell lying on the ground shot
through the back. He lived but a short
time after being shot.
Ehe coroner Of Clearwater county
