MILLION MEN IN
PERSH|NC'S COMMAND
ONLY SMALL PORTION OF ARMY
FORCES BRIGADED WITH
BRITISH.

To set at rest various reports that
have been in circulation lately, Gen.
aral March, chief of staff of the
United States army, issued the fol-
lowing statement this week:
'In connection with the American
forces abroad there has been some
discussion about the production of
the forces which is brigaded with the
British, and l will say that General
Pershing has in his own area as his
own force, not brigaded with the
British. over 100000.
THE number of men embarked dur
ing the month Of July, just closed,
was over 100000. That breaks the
record. The previous high record was
in the preceding month, when we
reached 276,OOO. The number of
men embarked to France is now over
100000"
General March refused to reveal the
identity of the combatant unit sent to
Italy. saying he did not think the unit
had been identified by the enemy. So
far as has been reported this unit has
not yet actually entered the firing
line, the general said.

Ask Legislature to Invcstigate-Also
Favor Law to Control Stray Dogs.

Investigation of the present short
age of feed stuffs and enactment OF
a law requiring the statement of in

feed stuffs was recon-
mended to the next legislature in res
olutions adopted by the county agents

growing interest in sheep husbandry
in Western Washington. and believ-
ing that great handicap and hazard
to the small farm stock exist in the
stray dog and outcast cur; therefore
We believe that state law for the

| CHAMBER TO START
WEEKLY LUNCHE0NS
ALL CITY'S BUSINESS AND PRO-
FESSIONAL MEN MEET NEXT
WEDNESDAY,.

/ All the merchants and professional
men of the city, whether members of
the Chamber of Commerce or not,
are to gather at Meath's next Wednes-
day noon for the first of what is
planned to be series OF regular
weekly luncheons to be held under
the auspices of the Chamber, to pro-
mote greater familiarity with its
work and afford a medium for the
discussion OF civic conditions gener-
ally.
A. +. Judd of Chehalis. trustee and
one of the active workers of the Cit
liens club of that city, which has
conducted weekly luncheons for the
past three or four years and found
them highly successful. will be the
principal speaker at the first gather
ing next Wednesday. He will talk
on the value of such luncheons to a
commercial organization and of their
general civic utility.
Attorney p. NJ Troy, former pres
ident of the Chamber. will be chair
man for this luncheon and strong
efforts will be made to get all the
business and professional men of the
city to attend. At the close of Mr..
Judd's talk, the advisability of con-
tinuing the luncheons each week will
be discussed.
Decision to hold Wednesdays
gathering was reached by the trus-
tees of the local Chamber at a meet
ing Friday noon. The plan has been
strongly advocated for some time by
Geo. d. Prigmore. a member of the
board who formerly lived in Chehalis

sAsned ~through it there.

CASUALTY
LISTS ARE COMING
NAMES OF SOLDIERS LOST IN
GREAT DRIVE ARE BEING
RECEIVED.

Names of American soldiers who
have fallen in the great Franco-Amer-
lean drive which turned the German
offensive on the Marne into an utter
defeat, have begun to come in from
overseas. They swelled the first
days list, Monday, to 706, the largest
number reported in any one day since
the United States entered the war.
But General March, chief of staff
of the United States army, pointed
out that of the American soldiers
wounded in the Marne-Aisne offensive
probably less than one in 20 will die
from their wounds, more than four
fifths will be returned to service and
only IA per cent will be discharged
for disability, according to the Off
cially attested experience of the allies
during the four years of war.
Proof of the falsity of the German
reports of great American losses
which have been circulated to i'm
press the German people at home is
seen in the fact that the American
divisions which began the fighting
still were taking part in it last Sat
urday, official reports show.
The fact that no divisions nave
been withdrawn. and that they have
been fighting virtually continuously
for 81 days, is taken by officers here
to show that their losses have been
much smaller than those they have
inflicted on the enemy, who has been
forced to withdraw many of his divl-
sions.

WILSON MAY VISIT
TACOMA THIS FALL
PRESIDENT REPORTED TO BE
PLANNING TOUR OF PA.
CIFIC COAST.

Washington dispatches this week
say that President Wilson may visit
Tacoma this fall. 1t was learned that
a trans-continental speaking trip by
the president is being planned and
while the whole arrangement is as yet
tentative there is a fair prospect that
for the first time since he became
president Mr.. Wilson will make a
tour to the Pacific Coast proceeding
from Los Angeles to Tacoma and Sc
attic. and then eastward.
If the plan works out he will make
number of speeches both on the
outgoing and returning trips and one
of these speeches may be made at
Tacoma. The tour will be made
while the Fourth Liberty Loan cam
paign is in progress.

MORE CANDIDATES
FILE THIS WEEK
LAST DAY FOR COUN-
TY ASPlRANTS-LONE SOCIAL
IST OPPOSES REPUBLICANS.

Saturday is the last day in which
candidates may file for county offices,
and the week has seen somewhat of
a furry so far as the Republican pri-
maries are concerned, especially in
the contests for representative and
commissioners, but the Republicans
still have everything to themselves
with one eXception-a Socialist has
filed for the legislature.
Mike Neylon, the political oracle
of Delphi, who has been swearing by
all that's hcly he had no intentions
whatever of becoming candidate,
ran true to form and. after talking
former Commissioner Sam Gibson of
Bucoda out of the notion, filed for
the nomination for commissioner in
the Third district.
Mikes entry makes four candidates
for that position on the Republican
ticket, T. Ives Dodge, the present
commissioners, Gus Bannse of Bucoda
and S. D. James of Grand Mound
being the others, and they're pretty
well scattered throughout the dis
trict, Neylon living at one end. Bannse
at the other, and James and Dodge
in the vicinity of the middle.
Three more candidates for the leg
islature appeared this week, two Of
them on the Republican ticket. Mrs.
Kate L. Young and George Mueller.
James A. Hilderbrand filed on the
Socialist ticket. The other candi-
dates and probably what might be
termed the regular" if there are
"any sich" in these days and times,
are c. c. Aspinwall of Mud Bay, who
served during the last session, and
Attorney ]. o. Marts.
Commissioner S. Y. Bennett of the
Second district so far has but one
opponent for the nomination, Arthur
G. West of Brighton Park. Val Mil
roy entered the race for county clerk
this week, and the talk around town
Is that r. F. DOtsch is going to run

cutting attorney.

CLUB LEADERS WILL
MEET SATURDAY
p l. 4 n 5 FOR FESTIVAL AND
SCHOOL FAIR TO BE CONSID.
Erred, SAYS EVANS.

Leaders of the various boys and
gorls' clubs of the county are called
by County Club Leader E. H. Evans
to meet at Superintendent Goss' office
in the courthouse at 1880 Saturday
afternoon, when several matters per-
tanning to their work will be acted
upon.
Chief among the propositions to be
considered are the date and plans for
the club festival day, which is to be
held some time during this month
and to which the $50 club members
of the county are looking forward to
with a great deal of interest; and ar
rangements for the school fair to be
held next month.
w. j. Green, state garden club
leader, spent three days in the county
last week. visiting,.a large number of
the clubs and devoting his time
largely to giving demonstrations on
how to prepare exhibits for the fair.
He said that Thurston county gardens
average up we'll with those of other
Western Washington counties.
"A little extra effort has been nec-
essary to overcome the drought and
pests" he said. "but we are produc-
ing food and also helping to make
better youngsters"
In his demonstration Mr.. Green
pointed out that in preparing gar
den exhibit the fundamentals are:
Trueness to type; freedom from blem-
ish by pests. bruises or irregularity
in growth; uniformity in size, shape,
color and texture, and attractiveness
by cleaning, using a proper container,
arrangement and labelling.
The best record of profit made by
any club member so far reported.
Club Leader Evans says, is that OF
Miss Beulah Ruchty, 11-year-old
daughter of Mr.. and Mrs. r. r..
Ruchty, who live on the Westside.
She belongs to a pib club and last
spring bought pig that weighed 80
pounds when six weeks old. She fed
it four and a half months and had it
butchered recently. 1t dressed 270
pounds, and after paying all her ex-
penses she had a clear profit of $50.

LEWIS FAMILY HOLDS
100 PER CENT RECORD
GIVES SIX SONS TO UNCLE SANS
SERVICE IN PRESENT
WAR.

Many families have furnished men
for the present war, but it is doubt
full if there is any which is so we'll
entitled to the title of being 100 per
cent patriotic as is the Lewis family,
which is more or less we'll known in
this vicinity.
This family consists of Mrs. Ella
l.. Muir OF Tumwater, Fred w. Lewis
OF Brighton Park and Orlen A. Lewis
of Miami, AriZ., who was formerly a
resident OF South Bay for several
years.
The progenitors of the family have
been, in an unbroken line down to
the present older generation, as far
as record is to be found. recorded
in military service and probably the
reason why that generation was not
included was because neither of the
sons was eligible at the time of the
Spanish American war.
The French and Indian, the Rev.
olutionary. the British of 1872, and
the Civil wars each had it's member
of the Lewis family represented, and
in the Civil war all five sons were
engaged and only two of them re-
turned.
OF the present generation each
branch has two sons of service age
and all are in the United States serv-
ice in various positions and locations.
Lieutenant Lee G. Lewis, the old
est son of Fred W., is in the 47th
Infantry. located in the Marne dis
trict of France.
Arthur c. Lewis, son of Orlen A.,
has just started for France. He also
is in the Infantry. He was at Camp
Lewis three weeks when he was
transferred to Camp Kearney, from
where he. has started for the trip
across.
William l.. Muir. son Of Mrs. Ella
L., is in the Depot Brigade at Camp
Lewis.
Ray F. Lewis. son of F. w., is
in the Naval Reserve. and at present
located at Bremerton.
Corporal John d. Muir, younger
son of Mrs Muir. is in the Toul dis
trict of Lorraine. serving in the En-
gineer corps. He was the first of the
boys to see France.
Leslie f. Lewis. younger son of Or
len. is serving in the Navy, and is en-
gagged in assisting in transportating
our troops across the waters. AT
last accounts he was on the U. S. S.
Rowan.
The parents of these boys are like
wise doing their part in their own
way Ada j., mother of Lee and Ray
Lewis, is a member of the Minute
Women organization of the state. She
spends the greater part of her time.
when not needed in her home, in Red
Cross work. and as soon as the
schools open again, expects to do
even more than at present.
This is a sketch of one family and
its service record. Can better one
be found? If so. it will be of inter-
est to our readers to know Of it.
