Effect Of The Americans Abroad

Paris correspondence N. Y. Evening Post.
l have tried to learn and appreciate the i'm
preston made all sorts Of people in France
by these hosts of American soldiers suddenly
coming into their midst. little shopwon1an,
who has been keeping the family business going
all these years her husband Is at the war says:
Perhaps the Americans will take over the front
and let our Frenchmen come home. Even her
the front shall not be held.
Half regiment Of Russian soldiers, who have
kept on fighting here in France after the dis
solution of army and country at home have been
brought back to rest in little camp next to the
Americans. see them wandering about, some
times two or three together, sometimes one alone
silent wistfu and fam to fraterntze with these
surprising American soldiers. They have
money to spend like the Americans. The French
do not visit their disappointment at the Russian
failure these waits and strays who
treated like French soldiers To their great won
der they see a. second American camp added to
the first in three days time, and then yet an
other is begun. They give visible signs that the
same npre ssion is made on their simple minds
which was made the French shopwoman-
the Americans are here to take up the work of
war and to stay as long as war stays
The stolid faces Of these tall, strongly built
somewhat uncouth Russian soldiers tighten and
warm up touchingly at my few words of Rus
sian. They start at once asking questions, OF
Americans. Clearly they are puzzled, they are
pleased also Those who speak a little French or
English give me to understand that, Russians at
home, in their present straits look to Americans
just as the FrenchWoman does, their only
hope. Instead Of the foreign entanslements
which George Washington feared for Americans
the world and civilization force US to become
other peoples disentanglers. So much is mani
fest and it is destiny, anyone see for him
self, if he mingles with this American transplant
tation in France.

kept at work. They are we'll fed the

American. The French guard tells me that when
they first caught sight of many American
soldiers some Of them broke down and an officer
wept. They, too received the impression
made by the multitude and strength Of these

A veteran French officer, who has been all
along in the thick of the fight, tells what his
poilus think They shook their heads when we
began brIRading in with them all these fresh
young soldiers but when they got to work to-
gether their doubts fled. Now they fight side by
side without distinction, just If they were the
same kind of soldier-and so they are.

TROUBLES ARE INCREASING.

The troubles of President Townley Of the
Nonpartisan league, growing out OF his
autocratic rule of the league, and his bold
declarations that he made this or that
public official, apparently are growing.
Out in Montana, Mr.. Townley's nominee
for United States senator has repudiated
him. In Minnesota, the lone candidate
nominated on the Republican ticket with
Mr. Townley's support has declared indie
Dendence of him In South Dakota, mem
bers of the league have demanded the re-
moval of the state manager, a Socialist
whose record in Butte riots and bloody
fights Of several years ago is so we'll
known that the farmers could no longer
stand for him, the demand on Mr.. Townley
being so keen that he has established A E.
Bowen, a North Dakota Socialist, On the
Job. The "revolt" of league leaders who
declared against his rule is another evil
dence of the trouble the dictator is bring
ing on himself as a result Of his 'rule or
ruin" policy.
f The st. Paul Dispatch, commenting upon
few Of Mr.. Townley's troubles, says:
- "a c. TownIeys traitor class soon will
d become like the gourd into which an angry
- boy determined to put a nest of hornets, one
at a time. The boy handpicked the hornets
w. from the nest and did fairly we'll getting
them into the gourd until finally the picking
hand grew to such size 1t could not be re-
moved from the gourd. Then all the hornets
already in the gourd took, turns singing him
and he couldn't let go Of the gourd.
Sam Yeagarden of Montana, Nonpartisan
league candidate for United States senator,
= has emulated Rev. S. r. Maxwell in Tepudiat-
g ing the league leader and he comes out with
the flat statement that 'Townley in politics
is a menace to Montana and stumbling
block in the way Of economic reform for the
farmers of the state.
I'm an interview in The Sioux Falls Argus
. Leader, he adds: 'Townley will destroy the
league in Montana unless the red blooded and
sound citizenship of the state expresses it,
self promptly in state convention to take
over the organization and to sweep the state
10 clean of political kaiserisrn and financial
49,. Crookedncss. There is but one issue in this
whole matter-patriotism against Townley-
ism.
Evidently Mr.. Yeagarden is not one Of the
rubber stamp candidates OF the league. He
would appear to be another one Of the hor-
nets that Mr.. Townley has not yet succeeded
into putting into the traitor gourd but the
league newspapers now may be expected to
a classify Mr.. Yeagarden with Rev. Mr.. Max
- we'll and seventeen others who have re-
- pudiated Townleyism".

North Dakota
War Hero Is
NOWAt Home

Towner, N. D., Aug. 16.-Gunner
Earl E. Myers, Towner young man,
has just arrived at his home here
with an honorable discharge from
the aviation corps OIL the United
States army, credit for the destruc-
ton Of six German airplanes and
decorated with the United States
honor emblem and the French war
cross, being the first North Dakota
hero to return home under these
circumstances.
Gunner Myers enlisted in the

trained at Pensacola, Fla, and la
ter assigned to service as gunner on
an aeropIane at Dunkirk. France.

Sleeplessness is not a disease; ii
is a symptom of a variety OF condl"
tions.
Wakefulness may be caused by
worry or lack of fresh air in the bed
room Late or heavy suppers are q
common cause of insomnia, while
some people cannot sleep we'll on an
empty stomach. Sometimes the bed
or bed clothing is at fault.
1t is not always true that "Wearl-
ness can slumber on stone" A
comfortable mental attitude at bed
time is just as important as physical
WEAKNESS in encouraging sleep. Ii
is possible for one to be too tired to
enjoy refreshing slumber.
A disturbed mind and insomnia
always go together. One must
therefore cultivate pleasant thoughts
at the retiring hour and not carry
burdens and care to bed with them
The habit Of worrying over affairs
Of the coming day is one Of the most
common causes of insomnia.
Regularity in the hours Of retir-
ing is Of big aid in promoting early
sleep. If a person goes to bed early
one night and later the next, the
brain Is likely to select the later
hour as the one for falling asleep.
Mapping during the evening before
the regular time for retirement can
also be blamed for many bad nights.
Light sleepers generally should
avoid a heavy evening meal. Some
times however, too long an interval
between the last meal and bedtime
will prevent sleep. Under such cir
cumstances light refreshments of
some sort will assist slumber.
Some people read a poem or short
story just before going to bed. Peo-
pie who acquire the habit of reading
in bed get so they can't go to sleep
without it, and the practice is not a
good one for this reason. However,
it is better to. turn on the light and
read a book in bed than to toss
about in the darkness.
The bedroom should. Of course, be
we'll ventilated and the bed ventilated
and the bed neither too soft or too
hard. Night clothing should be
