DO NOT DEPRECATE
 POWER OF AMERICA
Gen. von Blume and Gen von Liebert Admit We Are Important
 Factor in War

Amsterdam, Aug. 20.-Professional soldiers like Gen. vOn Blume and Gen. von Liebert, unlike so many other German war critics do not seek to be- little the significance of the appear ance of the American army on the west front
 Gen. von Blume, who is on the re- tired list, writes an article on the sub ject which appears in the Rheinische Westfaelische Zetung. He frankly admits that Eve have to recognize that the Americans, all in all have done very smart work and it would be a very serious thing if the German army command had to faice an Ameri- can fighting army of millions. This prospect the German public must on no account be permitted to ponder over"
 Almost immediately after the arti- cle appeared a semi-official statement which is to the effect "that the exag- gerated reports going about regarding the size of the American army in Flu rope merit no credenCe and only exist in Yankee imagination and Entete propaganda. "The statement said fur ther that the tonnage question, which already is acute. will become 0 more serious for the Entente when America has to ship her crops to Flu rope'
 Gen. von Liebert, who formerly was German commandant at Lodz, who now is military critic of the Taegliche Rundschau of Berlin, tells the plb- : lie that the American army actually has become a big factor and the de barkattons in France are proceeding regularly. Gen yon Liebert laments the moral perversion'' which brought the Americans to the front and says ''the French and British owe their re- cent successes to their trans-Atlantl2 ally without whom their offensive would have been doomed to disap- pointm ent."

Go. plant and was Go- ing home when the accident happened He said he was struck by Rossberg's auto. but was going so slowly that he was not even thrown from his ma chine. After court PirstuIski remem- bered that he forgot to explain the reason for the long lapse of ttme be- tween the time he left the factory and the occurrence of the accident He said he lost time by having to change a tire.

 ON IN MISSISSIPPI
second Primary May Be Necessary to Decide on Democratic Candidate
 For Senator

Jackson. Miss, Aug. 2O.-Interest Ill the state wide primaries being held Tn Mississippi today centered in the three-cornered democratic senatoria l contest in which James K. vardaman the incumbent, is opposed by Repre- sentative Pat Harrison and former Governor E. F. Noel. Political lead CTS believe the contest will he so close as to necessitate a second primary.
 Interest in the senatrial contest has been heightened through the publica- ton of a letter written by President Wilson in answer to an inquiry as to Senator Vardaman's record in which the president said:
 Il can but regard his (Vardaman's) selection IS condemna ton of my ad- mlnistration by the people of Missis- slppi.' Both Representative Harrison and former Governor Noel made their campaign on a 'lOyalty to the admin istration'' basis. Senator Vardaman in his speeches declared he had not been disloyal but said he and the president often disgreed.'

Dear MT. Woodruff


 Just a few lines as I think it is my turn to write. In fact I haven't done much writing of late as I have been on the go day and night driving the Huns. All the boys are full of spirit and eager for a chance at the Boche. our division has had their chance in the last drive. Up to this time we have been mostly on the defensive but of late we have been driving them back across the wheat fields of France. We were on the go night and day fighting all the time. It was great to put them to flight.
 Everything went fairly well until the 4th morning when we rushed a machine gun nest That was when got hit in my leg by a machine gun bullet, my right leg just below the calf It is only a flesh wound and I am still in the hospital but am com- ing along fine and think that I will be back with the company in a, month or so. 1 figure that I got my share be- fore I was hit.
 It is enough to make anyone want 10 get a boche or two when one sees the way they spoil and ransac ok some
  Tha Germans are so low that they even break the poor little chiIdrens dolls, anything to spoil l often re- call the picture of a French soldier returning to his ruined home and picks up his little child's doll among the heap of debris that was once his happy home. All the boys are de girous of encountering the BO,hc and ending this war
 I find that there is nothing that the boys treasure so much as letters from home. Lots of letters are the things that the boys look forward to outside of grub when the mess wagon comes Up at night Haven't heard from the boys of late so l figure them c. J[. haven't seen my brother since we ~ started over the top but I am sure he " Is all right Give my regards to all Ae folks.
 Your friend.
