MT. Brisbane's Reasoninq

Arthur Brisbane in late editorial believes that Medill Mccormick will be nominated by the republi- of Illinois for United States senator It will be- their strongest man and "the job before them is to beat only Senator Lewis but beat the president of the United States in time. which is considerable ob It ought not to be possible, with the most carefully chosen candidate"
 In conclusion MT. Brisbane said
 This writer expects to Medill McCor-
 mick nominated at the primaries and defeated
 election day For the state of Illinois has
 just one thing in mind-namey: that it is at
 with Germany. and ought not to vote
 against the wishes of the commander in chief
 against who. like Senator Lewis of Hi
 nos, has represented the president faithfully
 and loyalty never failing"
 We do not think MT. Brisbane expects to see Mir. Mccormick defeated if nominated. Mr. Brisbane often capable, when left to himself of thinking pretty straight Certainly Mir. Brisbane cannot expect to Senator Lewis beat Mir. Mccormick or any other good republican whom the republicans of Illinois may no mate.
 But we less interested in Mir Brisbane's pre- dictons than in his reasons for making them the duty the people owe the president war tn1e Here is MT Mccormick who has been as congressman atarge thoroughly loyal and loyal for better reason thinks with Mr. Brisbane that the people him such subservience is likely be disllusioned has not already been enlightened that point by the

 The American Front
 For Americans during the year 1918. Somewhere in France" will mean the Joan of Arc country It is not in the war zone. but lies among the hills of Central France, a four or five hours auto ride from Paris. To reach the American Somewhere in France" from Paris, one crosses the battle field of the Marne, and we passed it the day after the third anniversary. when al. the hundreds of roadside graves that marked the French advance were ablOOm and a-flutter with the ;ri- color. Great doings were afoot the day before on that battlefield. Bands had played triumphant songs, and orators had spoken and the leaders of France soldier and civilian-had come out and wept and France had released her emotions and was better for it. We passed through MeauX and hurried on cast to St. Dzier, where we stopped for the night. We put up at a dingy little inn, filled to overflowing with as cur ious company as ever gathered under on roof. Of course there were French SNO1tS Ol llOStly OLil- cers in full dress going to the line CT coming from it. Then there were fath- CTS and mothers of soldiers and sisters and sweethearts of soldiers and wives of soldiers bound for the front or con- ing home. And there we were, the only Americans in the house. with just enough French to order "des oeufS" and coffee au lait'' and .'ros bif nud jambon and pain" and to ask how | much and then make them say it slow ly and stick the sum up on their ling CTS. We were having engine trouble. And our car was grooming and cough ing and muttering in the gloomy little court of the inn. Around the court :an the sleeping rooms, and under one end, forty feet from the dining room, was what was once the stable, and what now is the garage.

 An Old Friend
 As we sat on the cement platform of the tavern, kicking our heels against it and bemoaning tho follies of youth which had corrupted our Freshman and Sophomore French, there came and sat beside us a pretty woman. She had black snappy eyes, fresh dark skin. and Jet black hair, so curly that it was al most frowsy. She listened to us for a moment, then hopped aboard our talk like boy Tipping street car: Kan sas-eh? I once lived in Oklahoma City. My father ran the Bee Hive."

 Sure mike. sir" she said. And then added: And if it's engine trouble my i husband upstairs is chauffeur. Shall l get him." And when she returned with him, he fell to, glad enough to get a. look into a twelve-cylinder American | car. Henry stood by him, and with the woman acting as interlocutor, between our driver and her husband we soon had the trouble located and the dissim- | ulator-Henry maintains that all en- zine trouble is connected in some Way with imulator-rectified, and while the job was going on, he eX- | pounded the twelve cylinders to the l French, puffed on his dreadnaught pipe, and left the lady from Oklahoma City to me. She was keen for talk. Be tween her official communiques to her husband and our driver, she got in this:
 Yes, know Frank Wickoff in Okla homa City-knew him when he was poor as Jobs turkey. and then my folks used to borrow money at his bank. Be- fore We came to Oklahoma City we lived in Austin. We ran the Good Luck. or was it the Fair: no. we ran 1 the Fair in Dallas" At quick look al her face from me she laughed ano said: "Oh, yes. I'm Jew all right.

Eleventh Installment Chapter w. (Continued)

In tune, the week ended that marked our first trip to the French front. Dur Ing that week we lived almost eXclus- lVely in the war zone and under war conditions. The food was good-bet- ter than good, it was excellent, but not plentiful and the beds were clean and full Of sleep. The only physical dls- comfort We found was in the lack of drinking water. We were warned against all local water.
 A Good Shell Hole
 My feelings on the subject of the French coffee and milk were some thing like Henry's antipathy to onion soup. But we both loved water with our meals. We had been vaccinated against typhoid, and we were rather lnslstent that we could drink any kind Of water, if it was reasonably clean. But men said this country is no place to drink water. It has been a battle ground and cemetery for three years. Still we insisted, and then, MT. Norton, head of the American am- bulance, told us this one: Out behind oarrage once near the Champagne. helping the stretcher bearers; nasty weather. rain and cold. But there we were. We couldn't get in We ducked from shell hole to shell hole. Finally I found nice deep one. with water III the bottom-oh, maybe five feet of water in a fifteen foot hole. and stayed there; two days and nights. My canteen went dry, and for day or two scooped water out of the shell hoio and drank it. Good enough tasting water so far as that goes, and fresh too, But at the end of the third day decided it wasn't agreeing with me and quit"
 'Why?' we asked. Did you leave the shell hole?"
 'No-oh, no. It was a good shell hole
