less man. who would face danger un-

like child's. his eyes moIstened with
tears as he told his story.
The words came jerkily. He had
come to Bourg to ind his wife and
child: he had been told that they
would arrive here on the convoy OF
repatriated French people leaving
Evian June 8. And he had been
granted three days permission to be
with them. a generous concession. he
added. at this time when no man can
be spared. And all TO no purpose.
Already the better part of the day
was gone and he could get no trace O,
them. And no one seemed to be able
to tell him where they were.
He had not seen his wife and little
girl. now years OF age. In four years.

only three days In which TO visit with

Then someone told him to 20 to the
American Red Cross. He came with
very little hope. but left jubilant. The
Red Cross was able to help him. The
Red Cross knew where his wife and
child were. knew their destination.
The destination was confirmed by tel.
ephone. In few hours he would be
with his family. And we sent him
on his way with an OUTFIT for his
little girl. few toys. something for
his wife and package Of tobacco for
himself. &

No Wonder the
Germans Hate Italy

No wonder Germany hates Italy
and grievousiy mistreats Italian pris-
oners that fall into her hands.
To still the unrest in Austria over
the shortage of food. the war lords or
dered the Vienna government 10 make
the Italian drive in June and force the
capitulation of venice-but the Ifal.
ians were the masters--they drove the
hated Huns back across The Piaye with
awful losses. They drove them far
into the mountains. and still they are
driving them.
The German war lords ordered their
Turk k-Bulgar-Austrian vassals 10 drive
through Albania, but again the Ital-
ians met their onslaught. and drove
them back with severe loss of men
and miles of territory.
When the Italians drove the Aus
trians back across the Piaye In June
the German war lords thought to stem
the tide of public opinion In Germany
and Austria by drive on the West
front and then struck at Rheims and
again they were held back and could
not pass. for italians were guarding
Rheims. fIarked on either side by the
French. British and Americans.
Was II the hand of fate that Sc.
lected the Italian army in France for
the work OF defending Rheims.
Thus. three times in the past three
months the Germans have had their
cherished plans frustrated and brought
to naught by the Italians with a
deadly hate.
The Italian army has thousands OF
soldiers on every fighting front. de-
Tending Rheims and lighting side by
side with the Americans In Picardy---
thousands more fighting shoulder to
shoulder with the British in Palestine
nero than 100000 went across the
Adriatic and drove the Hun hordes
back.
No wonder the Germans hate Italy.
She is very much ons OF our allies.

Holders OF coupon bonds are
strongly advised to exchange them

I only mention as a past history OF

me $75 down, and then go to work
and advertise that you paid me 5000

Tobacco for Sammy.

6NOBACCO has been made p00S
of the Army ration, or. at least,
an article of regular issue by
the quartermaster department to sol-
diers in France. Whether tobacco
should or should not be issued to
troops by the Army Is an old Coz
troversy, and at different times in
the history of the country that cons
troversy has been eloquent and acute.
A good many persons recall the ct.
forts made during the war with
Spain by Peter Johnston Otey. then
a representative in Congress from
Virginia, to- have tobacco issued to
troops as a part of their ration. He
sought to have the government issue
to each enlisted man in the Army
and Navy during the continuance OF
the war with Spain one and two
thirds ounces Of smoking tobacco and
two ounces of chewing tobacco
weekly.
During the discussion of the war
revenue reduction bill in 1900 Ar.
those semi-serious but wise speeches
for which he was noted. and it proved
to be a speech which stands out in
the annals of Congress as a memora-
BILE one of it's kind. In telling of his
efforts to have tobacco included in
"Mr. Chairman, it is in vain that
we appeal for a reduction of the tax
on tobacco-tobacco which is more
universally used among mankind
than any other one thing except the
most ordinary articles of food;
9S0, ,00O, 900 of the earth's inhabitants
use it, while 100000 use tea. 40.-
O00.00D use opium and 1Oo,O0O.OoO use
coffee, statistics on whisky being just
now not at hand. So my appeal for

being in vain, 1 appeal for him who.
on the sanguinary feds of Cuba. was
forgot by you. When our soldiers
were marshaled against Spain the
soldier and sailor were soon reminded
that there was great deficiency in
providing for their comforts and
welfare. In no particular was this
made more manifest than the de-
fciency. viz: In not providing
hope that nothing would be left un-
done to sustain him in his herofsm
and supply his wants in his patriot
ism, introduced the following bill:
"'Be it enacted. ETC.. That the week.
ly ration of tobacco for all enlisted
men in the Army and Navy during
the continuance of the present war
shall be one and two-thirds ounces

1889. and it sleeps in the committee
on military affairs. 1t is fact that
there is no solace in camp life Or
on shipboard like the pipe. and Moth
ing slaves of hunger and thirst like
the chew of tobacco"
After that introduction Mr.. Otey
launched himself into a panegyric ON
tobacco. which has become one OF
the famous speeches of Congress.
The addition of tobacco to the sup
plies which the government is issuing
to American troops in France was
ordered by the War Department on
the recommendation of Gen. Pershing.
There will be issued to each soldier
daily. four-tenths Of an ounce Of
smoking tobacco and ten cigarette
papers, and this ration may be drawn
either in the tobacco as named or IN

or in made-up cigarettes. The equiva-
lent In made-up cigarettes would b
