This war in which We are engaged
is no new conflict Through all the
ages past, contending forces, like
those now on the western battle front,
have fought, and for like causes and
ideals
This is not as a memorial service
held for the first time. These emo
tions that now stir our hearts are as
ancient as the hills. The past, the
glorious past, enriched, ennobled by
the victuous of all ages, stands here,
now in our very presence. America
caught the harmonies of all freemen of
other times and lands. Where they
gave up, we carry on. While they have
been defeated, we, in our blessed time
and land, bedeck their martyr brows
with victory. .@t-s-. 81
These honored heroes in whose pres

in the lust of selfishness. They have
but joined the army of the ages for a
world of liberty. Their spirits will re-
main fighting force forever. On that
great day when allied flags shall be
hoisted over citadels of autocracy,
when thrones are crushed and kaisers
all, on Bonded knees, make uncondi-
tional surrender, these hero spirits
will hover near to shape our terms
and guide the pen that writes the final

THESE ROADS CONNECT FIGHT

TINY TRAINS RESEMBLE TOYS
But They Do the Work. Are Operated
Mostly at Night to Relieve Traf-

With the American Army in France,
Oct. By Mail.-The American rail.
way engineers played an important
role in the battle for St. Mihiel sec.
tor. They didn't get out and take Ger.
mans, but they made it possible for
others to do so.
All up and down the American front
there IS net work Of narrow gau,;ed
railways, running to every point along
the front, and connecting the fighters
with their bases in the rear.
The Americans have developed rail-
way building along the front to a high
degree of efficiency. They can lay a
track through a wood across a field in
almost no time, and soon little engines
specially built for the front are chug-
ging along dragging strings of cars
loaded with shells, food, and other
things the Goughboys need.
Look Like Toys '' "a"
d The little trains look like toys, they
are so small. but they do the work
of full grown railway outfits. They car.
ry enormous loads and wind along
through fields, woods, roads and vii
lagos with great speed. There isn't any
block system to keep trains from
meeting along this way, but someway
genius of these American railway en-
gineers keeps lots of trains going all
the time with seldom any congestion.
Switches and sidings help keep the
roads clear These are frequent as the
healthy loot of the little American To-
comotives. The foot is modelled after
that of IA full grown Baldwin, and is
a sound which delights the doughboys.
Americans never have liked the fran
tic squeak they put on French loco
motives instead of a whistle.

gagged railroads with the fro0,. Sap.

and in rainy weather are hard to make
speed over. The little narrow gauge
trains run all the time to relieve traf-

up, and are extended in few hours.
Following the recent advance of the
Goughboys across No Mans Land, the
railway engineers soCn had their
tracks laid and putting little engines
dragged chains of cars loaded with
necessary supplies over to he infantry
aid artillery.
No Comparison Whatsoever
Once across No Mans Land the en-
gineers were able to hook onto rail
roads left By the fleeing Germans, and
the Americans had fairly extensive

them. They used captured German en-
