LONDON. June 25.-On the trains
running northward across north
Russia, the crossing Of the arctic
circle is made the occasion for
festival similar to that which tour
lists used to enjoy on shipboard when
crossing the equator. The train makes
stop of several hours in the midst
Of a snow-covered waste on the
shores of the White sea-. The 'passen-
Dsrs stretch their legs and take q

The exact spot where the railroad
crosses the circle is probably NOT de-
termined with scientific accuracy. but
the mon who built the railroad -ap-
parently agreed ON an approximate
location, and this is marked with q
suitable inscription At this point
also the railroad builders have left .
slight gap, probably not more than
q quarter OF an inch.e between the
rails, so that, as passengers often
notice, when the. train passes over
the circle, there IL a distinct jolt and
jar" So
The American Red Cross mission to
Rufhania began to prepare for the
festival Of the arctic circle crossing
several days In advance. The event
was celebrated with q dinner .of lap
land turkey and wild cfanberrfes;
with an etltree Of roast reindeer. The
turkeys were secured q few days
previously by Col Henry w, Ander-
son, the commanding officer -of the
American unit. who stopped the tYain

WITH THE AMERICAN ARMY ON

When the American rockies drove the

WITH THE AMERICAN ARMY IN
ENGLAND, July 1.-Amerfca's in
creased fiow of troops into France has
brought to the British public a reali-
zation Of the magnitude of the move
ment. The comings and goings Of
force after force have impressed the
residents Of England with the might
Of their new ally as nothing else has.
Since the nrst days of May the
growing volume has been apparent.

praise of the efficiency displayed.
First Real Stop at Camps.
Americans are in command of the
men when they land and are respon-
sible for them In the Temporary
camps and up to the point Of going

have been moving the British millions
since 1914. -
1t is at the rest camps that the
American soldier gets his first real
stop in the voyage he began at an
American port Atethe port of de-
barkation he is given scar@h pause
and no opportunity whatever to look
around. From the ship that brought
him over he is marched directly to a
waiting train. Then the Journey to
camp is begun. But the trains are
fast and the country is small SO the
Journey never Is long.
March When Train Stops.
When the train stops there is a
march, usually for two or three miles,
but In some cases the column must
move on foot for ten or twelve miles
before camp is reached. To the Brit
Usher who sees passing every day the

Contrasts In Trench Life.

Beyond and through mountains
which are part of the Swiss Alps
American soldiers are in trenches
where step outside means tumble
down wall-like cliffs and where pa
trolls prowl in the valleys at night
and lie in ambuscade by day waiting
to pick of enemy soldiers as If they
were mountain goats. This is Ger
man territory which was seized from
France in 1870. There are German
sign posts painted like barber poles
and German names at crossroads and
over stores. but the natives are again
speaking French, which was prohtb-
tied by the Germans forty years ago.
Here we took luncheon with an
American general, whose headquar-
tere overlooked lake which seemed
like q green Jewel set between noun
cottages were perched like bird
houses. American trucks carrying
supplies, wind in and out over fern
bordered roads under green pines.
through whose thick branches the
sun never penetrates.
, France, where American gunners
stripped to the waist under the hot
sun, are manning guns hurting tons
of steel on the German lines. 1t seems
like q different world, but the same
Americans are. there-boys from the
home towns, who want to know all
the latest gossip, about base ball per-
centages and the things which abb
sorbed their thoughts q few months
ago. when this war seemed like Q
far-away picture.
Along this great front thousands
are lighting. Behind the same front
a. far as the borders Of Spain other
thousands are toiling. running rail-
roads and sawmills, building shops
and handling tons of supplies which
are constantly coming. A Chicago

WOMEN TO REGISTER
Woman's Division Council Of
National Defense Calls on All
Women and Girls to Register
June 8 TO g..

Through the Woman's Division of the
Council of Nationa Defense the Gov
eminent has asked that a registration
be made of all the women in the county.
1t is expected that the community shall
have complete card catalogue of all
the women in different communities
what they are capable of doing.
No service Is asked of a woman but
what she may freely offer, but she is
expected to register in any case so that
the women war census may be complete.
One point to be emphasized is that
women or girls will not be taken from
their homes for service either here or
in Europe unless they definitely offer
themselves for such service. The pur-
pose Is to find out what women are
available outside the home.
This registration Is intended
for all loyal American women
by birth or naturalization. All women
and girls over Is will be expected to
register In each school District from
ord to 9th Of June.

MISS ELSIE MAY
MCKAUGHN
OF CIoverport Wins in Group III
OF the Liberty Loan Essay
Contest.

We as American citizens should buy
Liberty Bonds. This now is the third
Liberty Loan and those who have not
bought bonds in the other two loans
should now buy them and il you have
bought in the others and are able to
buy more it is your duty to do so. You
have not completed your duty If you
have bought bonds in the others and
do not buy in this one when you are
able to.
You can make no better investment
tor they are non-taxable and you re.
ceive ~ % interest which is more than
most any bank will give. In the long
run 1t is better than other bonds at So.
But do not buy them just for the sake
of the invertment for you as an Amer-
can should be patriotic enough to give
little money for the support of this
war, when you think what our boys are
doing for us they are giving their lives
and then some Of us are not going to
be patriotic enough help them along.
If we do not raise amount requir.
ed by the Liberty Bonds we shall be
heavily taxed to raise it, and none of US
want to be taxed for everything is SO
high anyway aud besides we Americans
do not like to be forced to do anything.
There is scarcely person that is of
age that can not buy bond of $50 if
they try, and.many can easily buy $500
ones.
Now you think this a great deal to
lend, but wouldn't you rather pay a few
dollars to the advantage of this war
than to be under the rule of the Kaiser.
While the older people are buying
Liberty Bonds the children can buy
Thrift Stamps and War Saving Stamps.
just think how much more the BOYS
over in France will feel like doing their
best when they know the people over
here are standing behind them and
boosting them, won't you try and buy
Liberty Bonds to save your country?
