The American Soldiers.

A party of men representing IL of the
leading magazines and newspapers OF
the United States has just returned from
a two months tour of France, England
and Belgium. Mr.. Ouahan of the New
York Times has this to say about our
American soldiers:
"What pleased US most was the splen-
did impressions created in the British
Isles and France by the American troops.
The praise we hear of their character,
bearing, personal conduct and fighting
ability was too general and too emphatic
to permit suspicion that it was given
for the sake of politeness. 1t became
very evident to US that a much better
understanding of America and Americans
had come to prevail In the countries OF
our associates in the war Many OF
those with whom we talked-civilianS
and military officers and women also
confessed that they were agreeably disap-
pointed in the Americans they had met
and seen since we entered the great con-
flict. In some way the impression had
prevailed in England that our troops
would 60 to Europe in spirit of bragga-
doccio. The expectation existed that

tronizing attitude, as much as to say,
well, you were licked until we came
over to show you how to win Instead
of that spirit the people of the allied
countries found that our officers and men
were modest, unassuming, serious, anx-
ious to learn, and had no desire to assert
any claim to superiority.
Americans Keen to Learn.
British officers told US of the keen
ness of our men to learn the game of war,
of their quickness to understand, of their
modesty, and the high personal and SOL
dierly character they displayed. Gener
al Mangin was particularly generous
when our party visited him at his field
headquarters. He spoke with pride of
the fact that two American divisions had
been under his command in the bitter en-
gagements near scissors. He said they
were splendid fighters with marked mi
tiative, and attacked with the spirit of
men, who were lighting for liberty. We
heard from many sources that British
and French officers had expressed to
their friends intense admiration for our
troops and had come to see Americans in
a new and pleasing light"

Airman's Discovery.

Writing home from France an Amer
lean airman says Of recent flight:
II went up for altitude and made the
remarkable discovery, which I am
thinking of publishing at once-name-
ly, that the world is not round, but
saucer-shaped, slightly depressed in
the middle"

He's a Thrifty Fiahter, Too,

Proof that the American soldier is
not forgetful of his financial obliga-
lions toward the folks at home" is
found in the report of the Knights Of
Columbus general secretary at an
embarkation camp that during two
days he sent express company money
orders aggregating $4,000 to soldiers
relatives, this sum having been in
trusted to him by American fighting
men.

ONCE MORE, DILL.

A mistaken impression that the OPP
position to Representative c. c. Dill
comes mainly from the Spokane
Spokesman Review was rudely upset
in the last few days when the Spokane
Press, the leading Woodrow Wilson
newspaper of eastern Washington
came out in a featured first page edi-
torial against Dill.
Under the caption, "Forgive the
blunderer but don't keep him in pow
err, the Press says in part:
every citizen must shudder to
think what might be the situation now
had the arguments of Dill prevailed,
had the raising of the necessary
troops been made impossible, had the
Americans now in France failed to
arrive in time for the crisis in July.
"Dilps record is record of failure
to do the right thing at the right time,
to serve the best interests OF the
United States.
"That is all that counts A gen
eral who blunders is removed before
his blunders can cost more lives
The man elected to office must stand
the same test. The fate of the ma
ton depends on it.

GONE TO GET A HUN
FOR HIS DEAD PAL

When David Thomas, a U. S. Mar
inc from Billings, Mont, finished out
his four years as a sea-soldier, he
babe farewell to his bunkie, Joseph
S. Wilkes, of Salt Lake City, whom
he had induced to enlist in the devil
dog outfit.
"You go to school, Dave" said Joe.
81 will get you a Hun. But if they
get me, it is up to you to get one for
me-"
So Dave went back to school, and
Joe went to France with the Marines.
One day Dave saw Joe's death re-
ported in the casualty list.
T'm not afraid of being killed, but
| am afraid of being a coward" said
Dave, as he signed for another "hitch'
at the Marine Corps recruiting sta
ton. He is now on the way to get
that Hun for Joe.

WOmen's Column
Time for the College
Girls Wardrobe
Sundry Accessories Add
Finishing Touches

Although not an admitted foce, deep
down in every college girls heart,
hidden away carefully concealed, is
the longing for complete, cookbook
ing wardrobe to begin her college ca
reer, or to continue it with all the dig
nifty of senior. There are so many
little things that she needs. Those
rather pretty something's that count
so very much. Indeed, it presents
quite problem-but I'm sure it's a
delightful problem-the solution of
which occupies many happy moments
One Attractive Solution.

always so many teas at school
that one can't think of the days spent
acquiring knowledge without uncon-
sciously forming a mental picture of

A Satin and GeOrgette Combination
young effervscent creatures bubbling
over with joy, exchanging condolences
over the tea cups. Of course, these
gala occasions call for soft, pretty
dress that is youthfully simple and
still stately enough for the affected
grandeur of the meagre repast. And
here is the frock to wear. 1t is de-
veloped in blue-green satin and very
yellow green Georgette for til e
guimpe. The entire effect is charm
ing, but only the fair freshness of
youth could attemp and wear success
fully these beautiful yet trying colors.
But then there is the lecture time
to be considered. Serge frocks, espe-
cially the new slip-on variety are quite
desirable for classroom wear, This
style of dress fills the requirements
of looking trim and neat, and yet car
ries world of elegance with it. But
one soon tires of the continuous wear
of three or four dresses, and then the
little things we spoke of before offer
themselves as the contributions sub
ject to change.

of collar and cuffs gives dress! just

political advisors with varying views,
interests, and prejudices. Perhaps
after while the work will be so well
organized that the President can give
out the newspapermen at stated times
the lists of men who shall or who
shall not be elected. That will save
time, and demonstrate that in one par
ticular, at least, systematic methods
can be adopted in the administration
business.

seems one season cannot be ushered

more fascinating if this attractive
tam could be your Identification card

a dream. And that's just what it is.
1t would just add the right touch of
color on a dark blue frock, which
would be undoubtedly trimmingless.
Pique and poplin are also used for
these distinguishing marks of correct
costume.
The fall season is contributing a
most bewildering collection of stunn-
ing hats. And what's more, the styles
are so wide and varied that every wo-
man will be able to wear the hat that
suits her own individual type and still
be sanctioned by fashion. For hope
less, indeed, is the girl who wears
something just because it is the style.
A careful study of assets and failings
should first receive attention.
