PHANT0MS

-
Of the Vigilantes.
In Seattle, Wash, during one Of the
Red Cross drives, was one of an au.
dience of 5000 people that crowded q
huge motion picture theater on a Sat-
urday night. There was special ap-
peal made from the platform for i'm
mediate contributions. The result of
this appeal was the immediate SUBJ
scription Of $4,000 $40 head, for
every man, woman and child in the au-
dience. AS that large audience surged
out into the brilliantly lighted street
noted that the street was occupied
by goodly company of soldiers,
drawn up at attention, saluting the
audience as it went by. There must
have been 500 Of them. I stepped to
the curbstone and approached the
commanding officer, who saluted as /
came.
"Who," queried, "are these men
what are they doing here?"
The officer smiled-his eyes flash

He finished speaking to me. He
turned and gave an order. On. the in
slant the 500 soldiers vanished into
thin air. And then I realized that
they weren't there-they hadn't been
there at all, save in my Imagination.
They were phantoms.

they are real, those 500 men whose

are there whose lives will not be

ALLIED TROOPS
Menace MOSCOW
Small International Force on
Attic and White Seas Has
Been Reinforced.
SOVIET POWER WAVES
ment Has Strengthened Its Posi-
tons at No Less Than Three
Widely Separated Points.

Washington, July 1.-THE situa-
ton in Russia and Siberia is daily
presenting new phases. although
greatly overshadowed by the tre-
mendous developments on the West
ern front.
At no less than three widely sep
arated points have the opposition
to the Soviet government greatly
strengthened their positions, thus
heavily taxing the inadequate military
machine of the Bolsheviki.
On the shores OF the Attic and
White seas the small international AL
lied force which has been holding the
railroad terminus at kola and Muir
mansk has been considerably rein
forced and is advancing southwark
along the railroad towards Vologda
and Moscow.
1t is admitted officially that there
are some American sailors and ma
rines in the neighborhood of Kola,
but it is not known that they are par
ticipating in this southwark movement
and it is doubted whether, in the alb
sence of special instructions they
would do so. unless it were necessary
as a defensive measure
Firms Change Heart.
Reports from reliable sources in
Sweden indicate a surprising change
Of sentiment among the Finnish people
toward their German-controlled gov
eminent, making it impossible for that
government to raise any volunteer
troops to attack the Allied force on the
line of the Kola-Moscow railroad.
This has greatly relieved the minds of
officials, who realize that this rail-
road could be held only by a very
large force if attacked from Finland.
Cutting off communication in that wav
would greatly endanger the position of
the Allied forces on the Murmansk
coast when winter comes.
With Finland practically neutral,
and the local population in the Muir
mansk country coming to the aid of
the Allied forces, it is believed that
the Allies now are reasonably sure of
being able to maintain a channel of
communication with Central Russia
and Siberia against any German at
tack.
Lenine Protest Ignored.
The protest of the Lenine govern.
ment against the Allies operation in
the North is believed to have been a
mere f0rmality, made possibly to sat
isfy the Germans, who are endeavor
ing to control the Bolsheviki govern
ment. Officials say it will not be en-
tertalned because the Allies do not
recognize the Bolsheviki as the real
government of Russia and persist in
regarding that nation as still in the
war on the side of the Allies, regard

KEEN INTEREST
AT WASHINGTON
PrOVeSS of American Soldiers in
Battle Thrills National
Capital.
.ELAT|0N IS APPARENT
Secretary Baker in a Statement Says
German Attack Came After Care
full Preparation-Preside
Eagerly Reads Accounts.

Washington, July 17.-As dispatches
from France unfold the story of the
valiant stand Of American troops along
the Marine against the renewed Ger.
man offensive an air Of citation was ap-
parent in government circles.
Official advices were slow and no
formal report on the German effort to
drive the jaws of a great pincer move
ment about Rheims on a IS mile front
was available
Americans Huri Enemy Back.
Press reports made it clear, how.
ever, that the enemy had not only
been stopped, but hurled back by
American counter attacks along the
Marine where they hold the left flank
of the great battle front, while the
French army, aided near Rheims by
Italian divisions, stood fast over the
far greater extent of the line they de-
Tended against fierce assaults by the
enemy.
At the White House, the President
read the account with eager interest
that did not wane. At the War de-
partment, Secretary Baker, General
March, chief Of staff, and other high
officers received eagerly the brief
glimpses of the battle flashed across
the country in press bulletins from
the battle front
President Gets News Reports.
Every line was studied with grow
ing delight, as it became evident the
enemy had met with a decided check
In the first rush of his greatest effort
thus far. The fact that credit for
stopping the heaviest parts of the as
sault thus far reported belongs to men
of the first American army corps add
ed to the feeling of elation.
After reading reports, Secretary
Baker made the following statement:
"The attack made by the Germans is
evidently the result of careful prepara-
tons. It covers wide front and is
made in force. We are at the end of
the first day of great battle. The
reports so far are encouraging and
seem to indicate both heavy fighting
and effective resistance along the en-.
tire 'front.'"
The prompt and hard driven counter
attacks of the American troops at two
points sent a glow of enthusiasm
through the whole War department
when the word first came.

Bats Once Used for Food.

That bats were food for primitive
men is indicated by Miss Grinnell in
her work on bats Of California: "The
bat had become master of the air long
before man walked upright. The rocky
refuge revealed to the cave man the
little upside-down bat clinging to the
roof of his cavern. One bat takes it's
food off the ground, since it brings to
its roost wingless Jerusalem crickets,
either attracted by the noise the in
sect makes in crawling or the air cur
rents made by such movements"

Where BELGIUM STANDS

, The principles which you have al

You all know the story, although many

to you that whoever undertakes to
write the history Of the horrors COM
mitted by the Huns of the twentieth
century will have task that will turn
his soul sick.
