War, having served at the Naval Hospital, Portsmouth, Va, and at the Army Hospital, Fort Thomas, Ky. What was a new experience for these harbingers of good was having their pictures taken. They consented only because they felt that it was a patriotic sacrifice and that they might serve as an exam pie for others to follow.
 "It will be the happiest moment of our lives when we are minister ing to the wounded and sick in Italy," said Sister Chrysostom. "The sisterhood feels keenly the desire to be of the utmost service in caring for the soldiers of Italy or any of the other Allies of America.
 "War makes it's demand upon the woman power of America as we'll as upon her man power, and all who can do so, no matter what the sacrifice, should serve the in- terest of Americas part in the war.
 There is no more important task before the country at this time than the building up of a nursing serv- ice large enough to care for the sick and wounded American and Allied fighting men, and it Is the duty of all trained nurses to enlist for this service through the Ameri. can Red Cross"

 Between the Aisne and the Ailette the French and Americans continued to make progress throughout the day on the plateau east of Crecy-au-Mont and Juvigny.
 Despite vigorous German resistance Leuilly (east of Crecy-auMont) was captured. Terny Sorny also was ta ken. Further headway was made north of Croucy (northeast of Sois- sons.
 Americans on the Aisne-Vesle front celebrated the first labor day while fighting. The Doughboys are jokingly demanding on eight hour day. General Pershing reported: North | of the Aisne our troops have made further progress east of Juvigny." The Germans who are showing signs of extreme nervousness along the Alsace-Lorraine front attempted two raids in the last 24 hours against Car Mountoin positions in the Alsace sec tor. Both attempts were preceded by heavy bombardment. In both in stances the enemy was repulsed with ! losses.
 They suffered the same experience this morning in the Foul sector. In each instance the raiding party seem- ed to lack the punch which character ized the Germans operations a few months ago.

NEW MOURNING MILLINERY

could how entirely their own fortunes and the fortunes of all whom they love are put at stake in this war for right and will know that the very records they have made render this new duty the commanding duty of their lives.
 They know how surely this is the nations war, how imperatively it de- mands the mobilization and massing of all our resources of every kind They twill regard this call as the su- preme call of their day and will an- swer it accordingly.
 Only a portion of those who reg ister will be called upon to bear arms. Those who are not physically fit will be excused; those exempted by alien allegiance; those who should not be relieved of their present responsibil- ties-above all those who cannot be spared from the civil and industrial tasks at home upon which the success of our armies depends as much as upon the fighting at the front.
 But all must be registered in or der that the selection for military service may be made intelligently and with full information. This will be our final demonstration of loyaIt, de- mocracy and the will to win; our sol emn notice to all the world that we stand absolutely together in a com- mon resolution and purpose.
 It is the call to duty to which every true man in the country will respond with pride and with the con- sciousness that in doing so he plays his part in vindication of a great cause, at whose summons every true heart offers its supreme service.

SEES AMERICANS CROSS SEAS OF ENTANCLEMENTS Sergeant Was in Observa- tion Post During Day
 light Action. HAD WITH HIM
 SEVEN RUNNERS U. s. Troops Advance Rap idly Despite Veritable Storm of Shells.

With the American Army in France, Monday, Sept. 2.---By The Associated Press )---After -four days and nights spent in an observation post in the region of Juvigny, sergt. Ira Croshaw of Grand Rapids, Mich, returned to- day to American division headquar- ters after having witnessed virtually all of the American daylight action since the attack on the plateau began last Wednesday morning.
 The hill where the observation post is located commands a view of the country for miles around, the Ger mans having erected a shell proof tower of concrete and steel rails with a roof six feet thick and the sides four feet thick. In addition to a tele- phone, Sergt. Croshaw had seven run ners. The tower exit faced the Ger man lines and the enemy machine gunners opened fire every time an in dividual was sighted. but none of the runners was lost. When Sergt. Cro- shaw reached the tower he found a dead German at the entrance, but be- fore he could bury the body the she'll ing started. The first day the Ameri- can runners crawled. back and forth into the tower entrance over the body of the dead German, the Americans finally burying it beneath the en- trance. -...
 Sergt. Croshaw witnessed the Amer jeans cross the veritable sea of barbed network on Sunday afternoon while the Americans were eastward bound He saw his countrymen cross trench CE oI. h. 1,o dered how infantrymen stood the strain of shells and machine gun fire pouring urton the plateau. Time and again advancing infantrymen were compelled to halt and. cut or break down wire entanglements to gel through. Men ahead were supplied with wire cutters to complete the jot started by the artillery. Many trenche! crossed were so wide that the advanc ing soldiers were compelled to takt them on running jamp or go dow1 on one side and up the other.

 On the eastern side of the Bethune
 Soissons road the Americans took
 few prisoners on Sunday. Several o the prisoners said the latest German
 orders intended to prevent the Ger
 mans in the front line from knowing
 the identity of units on either side The orders instructed the soldiers no
 to talk about other German organiza

 not to give the names of units, evel
 if they happened to know them, in tn
 event of being taken prisoner.

 It was at the suggestion of Dr. J. A. Danna of New Orleans, who is to be in charge of the unit, that Mrs. Dibert donated $1OO,OOO to the Red Cross to be used in financing the entire expedition. Sister Chrysostom is to be the chief nurse of the unit.
 All Registered Nurses.
 When the unit arrives in Italy it will be divided into groups of ten, each group to be in charge of one of the sisters as a chief nurse.
 Speaking for the sisters, Sister Chrysostom said:
 "We are all registered nurses and are anxious to go across and get to york"
 When asked if they were volun. teers she replied:
 "All Sisters of Charity are anx- ous to go, so 1t was necessary to select us. We will have charge of the operating rooms and hope to do our full duty in bringing the Amer lean boys back to health and hap piness."
