Our Individual Part.

Some observers think the most
characteristic thing about the Ameri-
can soldiers in France, something
which astounds the enemy and eXcites
the ad miratiOn of our allies, is the
capacity of the American soldiers to
do individual thinking and fighting,
The German fights successfully only
in mass formation, in organized bod
les, while every American soldier has
an initiative and independence Of
action which gives him remarkable
efficiency in open fighting. They are
not senseless cOgs, but each is an iu-
dividual working unit in great fight
ing machine.
Every American at home should feel
an individual responsibility and do
his or her individual part in winning
the war. There is not an American
citizen who can not help win the war
The Fourth Liberty Loan drive, which
begins September 2S. offers a great
opportunity for concerted action and
for individual action. and the loan will
be tremendous success if each A mer-
can will do his or her individual part
as each American soldier in France
does his part. Our soldiers deserve
such support from the people at

try and particularly urging them to
do everything in their power, whether
in the service or at home, that the
war may be carried on to victory for
the Allies. He related many incidents
and experiences gained during his ser
vice at the front and it was probably
the best and most interesting message
ever brought from the war zone to
local sons of Italy. The Captain
spoke but a few words in the English
language, as he is not versed in our
language, Mr.. CastiglianO spoke as
did also Rev. Boretti and Chas. Bon
ino of this city.

1t was a most enjoyoble evening and
from all those present have come
words of praise and commentator
for the excellent dinner of which they
had the privilege to partake and the
genial hospitality of our Italian citi-
zens. Capt. Zampiglione was espec-
tally pleased and before departing

great pleasure. He left Monday morn

return their questionnaires properly
filled out, as promptly as possible:
under the regulations, the regis

earnest hope of this Office that the

time as this and that every effort
will be made to turn the question

promptly as possible. - 1t is plan
ned that the first, draft will be as

last of the present month"; and even
if the maximum time is taken in
returning the questionnaires, they
should all be in the hands of the
local boards within three weeks.
A drawing held at Washingt on
at date to be announced later will
determine the order in which the
men will be called to camp. Local
boards are to place the serial mum
bersof regisrtants upon theque'tion-
naires but to omit the order num-
Der. This will avoid the necessity
of holding back the sending out of
questionnaires until after the draw.
ing, and it will hasten the compile
ton of the classification.
Local Boards will fill in the order
numbers after the drawing. This
number will represent the order in
which the registrants serial number,
assigned him Immediately after re
gistration, is pulled from the bowl
