Box factories have discovered, ac-
cording to information which has
reached the United States Depart

have proved highly efficient and USE

Because they are not adapted to
heavy work, the young men have some
advantages over them in respect to

LONCED FOR GERMAN HOME
Went Back, Found Restraint, Re-
turned to American Freedom.

Rather more than a dozen years
ago there lived in Milwaukee a Ger
man citizen who said this country
was good for nothing except to make
money.
He admitted it's excellence for
that, but declared that some day,
when he had gained his competency,
he was going back to the old father
quiet. to be happy once more with
his village friends, to live his life in
sweet content. Like many another
son who has strayed from his native
land, he hoped some day to grow
be gathered to his fathers among his
boyhood companions.
He made his money in Milwaukee,
and returned to the home for which
he had longed through the years.
But somehow when he got back, he
found miseries he had forgotten dur
ing his absence. He was not free
there as he had been here. He was
a nobody there, held down by the re-
lentlesS caste system. Taxes were
exorbitant. And before he had been
back two years, the money he had
expended half lifetime saving in
America had been spent or lost in
trade competition.
That German is back in Milwaukee
today. He is an American citizen
now land happy in his citizenship.
He has no home but America, and
there is not more loyal citizen in
the United States. He went back to
Germany He knows where happi-
ness it.

The Player in Paris acknowledges

the game goes forward.
On both sides of the ocean the
great game goes forward. Over the
hills of France, through the gentle
valleys, the youth of America is
pouring.
Regiments of engineers are string
ing little wires along the roadside,
making old villages sparkle with new
light; working miracles. Across de-
serted fields young men in uniform
are digging trenches throwing hand
grenades, firing guns, charging thru
barbed wire and otherwise making
cause against militarism.
Overhead the white winged birds
of war wheel and dip in ever in
creasing numbers, their machine
guns making steel gossip along the
sky. The foresters are setting up
their sawmills in the shadow of the
forests. The construction gangs are
laying their rails to the sea; the bar
racks and the hospitals are building.
In America all industry, all life, is
in travail Red glow the furnaces
and red the forge fires. There is
never ending tramp of feet: One
two; one-tWo.
The New World is marching. Hail
and farewell!
The chess player in Paris is going
through his papers; marshaling rows
of significant figures; moving his
pawns slowly, carefully-for haste
might mean the loss of world; yet
always keeping the need of haste in
his mind.
Never had human player such prob
lens as these.
Tall, erect, self-contained. with the
eye and jaw of fighter, he sat be-
fore his neat desk and talked of the
great enterprise. His manner was
courteous, his speech frank. Yet L
knew words would be no more than
the perfunctory expression of him.
The real man. the real Pershing,
remained hidden, silent, engrossed in
the contemplation of his task. 1t will
be expressed ultimately in terms OIL
deeds, or not at all.

FIRST FIFTY" in FRANCE
Detachment Chosen From Camp
Meade Men Moves Closer to War
Ono Tells of Experiences on
Shipboard, With Never Il Subma-
rine TO Mar Bliss OF 1t.

The First Fifty of the National
Army, which began to foregather
last fall at Camp Meade, are now
somewhere in France" These men
were chosen from among the early
arrivals at the camp, and detailed to
the Quartemaster's Department for
overseas duty.
They left the cantonment after a
few weeks training, and received
further special instructions in their
line of work at a camp near New
York.
The following letter is from Geo.
f. jenkins:
Dear Eve slipped out of port
somewhere in America" in the dead
of night and were not convinced
that we had started until we went
up on deck and could see nothing but
water and gulls. Beautiful day, al
most summary. and hot below decks.
Sea as calm as the Chesapeake, and
not as much roll and tremor as on
the Old Bay line But wait awhile!
In my bunk are all my worldly
goods, including myself, old maya
zines. and books and life preser
YER The preserver consists of two
cushions at lifeboat drill. 'Lifeboat'
sounds better than abandon ship
The hunks of most of Our Fifty
from Camp Meade line a small mess
hall, and | am right over the soup.
We get only two meals a day,but
generous colored ladders at the cans.
Two sandwiches and three apples
are stored away for a hungry hour.
I
dared take, even at a clearinghouse.
One negro just got pot of beans
big enough to choke a mule. But
the colored boys leave no scraps, and
our appetiteS are not far behind.
Dinner is about over now, and
when the narrow tables are folded
and stacked there is plenty of room
to sit on a barrack bag or the -four
and finish this. Several groups will
soon be gathered around a pup tent
half playing African golf or black
Jack, or other indoor sport. Others
read the magazines and books, play
the mouth-organ, sing, go up on
deck, fiddle or study French-not to
mention the most popular pastime,
sleeping. No reveille-no retreat
no cares-no duties-as yet. War
is far away.
Up in the big saloon will soon be
the evening entertainment of hypno-
fists, boxers, melody makers, etc. An
earnest little Frenchman, S. M.
private, will be teaching French free
to an earnest class of negroes and
whites.
"A few will be on the great adven-
ture of stalking fresh water. Who
ever invented soap never calculated
on salt water as cleansing medium,
even when filtered This was sur
prise to most of us. Why don't the
salt water soap makers advertise?
Ordinary soap forms a gummy film
in salt water, and shaving cream
simply vanishes.
According to rumor No. 973
there was free fresh water forward
in the sailors quarters-not confin-
ed to public fountains. Assuming
an officers attitude forward l sailed
under full steam Git was dark and
arrived in port after several halt

We hope our customers will come

1t cost US more than twice as much

that we have cut out all dividends to

hard to collect money enough to meet
current expenses.
We are also finding that it is TAX

the people leave their spigots open
to keep from freezing, but we hope
they will discontinue this practice,
