THE OFFICIAL CHEERER.

Julius RosenWaid is in France, in the uniform of an
American army officer. without title or rank. but with
an informal commission from the secretary Of war
that is probably the first of its kind ever issued. Rosen-
valid might be designated an "ofhcisI cheerer" OF the
American army.
Let it not be thought that our army doesn't need
cheering sometimes. Military life is not all victories
and glory, At its best It is particularly hard behind
the lines. where men are obliged TO toll interminably
a. uninspiring tasks Of transport and supply. without
any Of the inspiration Of the lighting front. Every sol
der has his glum days. And the very best thing to drive
away the blues is a message from home.
Rosenwald is delivering such messages on a grand
scale. He himself, knowing the whole country well.
can talk 10 the boys of almost any unit in terms Of
home. reminiscing tamitarly Of scenes and people they
know. That is something that always riveJs a soldiers
interest, and ~brightens him up. when he is homesick
in a foreign land.
Then, Rosenwald has letters from the governors and
senators and other notaoles i'm nearly every state of
the union. That might not mean much TO us here in
America. 1t means much in France. To hear a direct
message from the governor OF ones own state. in a
strange environments at the other end Of the world
that is something, And there are often messages de
livered that come still nearer the mems hearts than any
possible public utterance can.
II is a fire Job. that Of Rosenvald.s. And il may
occur to many a reader of this appreciatye comment
that ne or she can help along the good work. Every
friend Of a soldier can be another such messenger
giving a lonely exile pleasant news and "reminiscences
of home. BE 2 cheerer. Write TO him

BOY BECOMES |
HEIR To BIG
sum OF MONEY

ST, LOUIS, July 2 - John Celia,
nine years old, today probably is the
richest boy west of the Mississippi
river. Within the last week he has
become owner of$12, 100000 worth of
property.
Six million dollars was LEFT him by
the will of Louis A. Celia, racing mag
nate and theatrical man, who died in a
hospital here. Celia left another &c.
100000 to his widow, who is seriously
i'll in an adjoining ward of the hospital
in which he died. Mrs. Celia died the
other day her share of the fortune also
going to the nephew.
Celia was one of the richest men in
st. Louis, being the heaviest taxpayer
in the city. He was 80 years old at
the time of his death and had become
national figure in sporting and the
atlical circles. He owned the Grand
Opera house and the American, Col

made great capital out Ola story that
it was used to gouge out the eyes OF

of the British Prisoners of War Com

are recorded.
Captain Beaman testified before the
commission that he was berated by 4
German Colonel for permitting his
men to use their marlinspikers on the
eyes of German wounded. Captain
Browne told the commission of listen

a lecture and who exhibited a British

JACK KNIFE Is
PART OF KIT OF
THE BRITISHER

BEHIND BRITISH LINES IN
FRANCE, July - Correspond
ence of The Associated PreSS):- Ev-
cry soldier in the British army in FIR
ance is provided by the government,
a. part of his overseas kit, with a jack
knife.
The military jack-knife is built for
service. 1t has only three parts, a
big blade of Sheffield steel, can
opener and marlin spike. The
whole thing clasps into solid steel or
bone handle four inches long, which is
provided with ring so that it can be
hung to the belt.
The can-Opener is an indispensable
part of the provision for u soldiers
well-being at the front. Several i'm
portant items of his daily menu are
supplied to him in sealed cans.
The Sheffield blade has numerous
uses too obvioue to need mention, but
it is noticeable that Tommy Atkins
frequently uses it for purposes of eat
ing in preference to the table knife in
his kit.
The knife-blade is also used cOnSt-
antly as wood-cutter. In the trenches
the lighting of brazier is frequently
u difficult operation owing to the vi
tai necessity of avoiding smoke. The
Germans have a strong antipathy to
smoke, and the sight of it raising from
the British trenches arOuseS in them
disturbing evidences of envy, hatred,
malice and Observation-Disclosures. 1t is well
therefore, to avoid smoke. So the wood
for the braizer must be split up into
thin sticks and ShavingS, and for this
purpose the official jack-knifc is the
ideal instrument.
When the soldier is withdrawn from
the trenches it is his first duty to make
himself ad his belongings clean and
pnesentable for inspection. Tommy
hangs his coat on a peg and "shaves'
it with the knife blade.
The marlinspike attachment is use
full for prying open wooden boxes, for
