OUR BOYS OVER THERE.

OF course our boys the American
troops behaved CALAMITY and splen-
didly in their first serious encounter
with the Germans last week. They
showed high courage..they were
leashed, quick and glad to go. Their
charge was splendidly victorious.
Having stormed their way into Can
tigny, they hurled back continuous
tides of counter.-att acks. They
fought as if the fighting was a holi,
day diversion. Splendid sport.
breathing spell that lslt, was Afforded.
Brave and noble boys! In the
good old phase, they have worthily
upheld the best traditions of Ameri-
can arms. From the British and
French soldiers and leaders on the
front, from the allied headquarters,
from Paris and London, comes a
and it thrills the heart of us who
are left behind to watch them and
pray for them from afar.
But it is something more than
watch and pray for them we have
to do. We have to work for them,
to provide for them, to afford them
all the protection and support in our
power. 1t is our homes they went
from, to fight and suffer and die for
us under strange skies. The best
we can give, all we can give, out OF
the very bone and marrow Of our
lives, is all too little. How trivial,
when we think of them. of the life
they are living and the death they
are dying, do our own personal and
domestic and business and political
concerns become. Our hearts are
cover there" and in sober truth ev-
erything that we have and enjoy is
over there, at stake in the great bat
tie which they and their brother
champions of liberty are heroically
fighting.-St Joe Observer.

Remember the deluge of criticism
that once poured upon Secretary of
the Navy Daniels? For a long time
he was the most abused and most
ridiculed member of the cabinet,
but now comes this fine, generous
tribute from that great Republican
statesman, Senator Lodge: Have
you heard of any investigations or
CRITICISMS of our navy? I have
heard none, and I am fairly famil-
lar with it as member of the
naval affairs committee. The navy
has done extremely we'll. Secretary
Daniels has made no statements to
the public of what he hoped to do.
He has not said in 1917 what he is
going to do in 1918. ALL he says is
what has been accomplished. He
has strong men as his bureau heads.
He deserves credit for having select
