With the American Forces On the
Marne, July Excess movements
of troops and materials north Of Cha
teau-Thierry, together with the in
creased artillery and aerial activity,
form the basis of the, belief that
American forces in this locality may
be called upon to defend themselves
in the near future.
Long streams of enemy troops and
wagon trains have been observed in
the neighborhood Of the Bonnes
Wood. There have been more than
fifty aerial fights over the American
lines northwest of Chatea- -Thierry in
the past twenty-four hours. One
German machine was shot down by
our anti-air-craft guns.
The American artillery has heavily
shelled many vital and active spots
within the enemy lines, once obtain
ing direct hit in a detachment of
marching Germars.
For days the Americans have been
expecting that the enemy, stung by
the defeat administered to him re.
Gently on this front, would make a
vigorous assault upon our forces, and
it was partly for this reason that he
American operations in Belleau sec
tion were carried out. With these
operations completed. the Americans
now have the country for several
miles in front of them under their
eyes and guns and can see what is
deleloping. In consequence, when
the expected blow cYmes they will be
that much better prepared to meet it.

OLD MILL AGAIN IN USE
Only Water Mill Now in Operation In
Country Grinds Out Wheat
Flour

Jeffersonville, Ind. - Whole wheat
-four is being manufactured at a mill
in Clarke county which is 100 years
old, and is said to be the only water
mill now in operation in the country.
The mill, which is three miles from
CharlestOwn, is known as the Tunnel
mill. 1t is so called because at point
in Fourteen Mile creek a tunnel has
been cut through solid rock, "a feet
below the summit of the hill it pene-
trates and the mill race is fed through
this tunnel, five feet wide and six feet
HIGH to the Overshot water wheel
erected in the mill below.
The mill is of frame, so by IS feet
in size, and the wheel has a diameter
of 20 feet, though it is said there is
room for one of 20 feet. The tunnel
is 300 feet long. 1t was built from
1914 to 1917 by John Work, a Clarke
county pioneer and mechanical genius,
who with gunpowder and his rude Dor
ing tools, cut two tunnels, one from
each end, that met exactly in the cen
ter, the work costing him, it Is record
ed, $4,000. The mill has run practi-
cally ever since, and the grinding is
done by big stone buhrs.

t'rencn also. Lac boot is decidedly
on the other leg, think the American
boys. The French authorities ought to
have officials who speak English, or, If
this is not convenient, then they ought
to have men who can act as interpre-
ters for the boys. This is a crying
evil and ought to be remedied at once.
Volunteers are wanted to teach the
Americans the elements Of French as
spoken.
The Language Question.
One Frenchman said to me:
81 cannot understand how it is that
your men who come-that Is, so many
of them-frOm schools and colleges
where they are taught French cannot
speak the language a little, anyhow"
Now this nettled me somewhat, and
replied "How is it that with all your
schools and colleges in France so few
of your people can speak word of
English? And how is 1t that the most
of them do not even want to learn Eng
lish? Why is this?"
One of the many duties of the Ameri-
can military police is to arrest suspi-
cious characters. 1t would surprise
many to know that this sort of person
is particularly busy at the present time
and meets with severe experiences
when found out. American civilians
as we'll as the soldiers cannot be too
careful what they say and where they
say 1t at present.
