SURRENDER
HE'LL MOI"
Is Yanks' Answer to
Boches

With The American Armies In
France, The intrepid charging
of the Americans is not only win
ming ground, but it is also instill-
ing fear into the Germans.
Letters taken from prisoners
and statements made by them
clearly show this.
There are many instances of
American heroism.
At one town the Germans
counter attacked, obliging the
Americans to retreat temporarily.
Then the enemy sent out a mess
enger under the white flag. He
asked If the Americans wanted
to surrender.
Hell, mo-" yelled the COM
mander. We're ready to attack"
This they did, retaking the
village and holding it perman-
emily.
The more intelligent Germans
fear they won't be able to hold
out much longer against the in
creasing allied forces.
'The German army couldn't
hold out two months longer at
the present rate of losses" de-
clared one German officer.
A Prussian prisoner was found
to carry a letter written to his
wife before the battle. He wrote:
THE war is hopeless for us
now that we are opposed to those
ferocious Americans, who can
not be defeated. Their artillery
has caused terrible losses. We
must be annihlated by their in
fantry."
The American spirit and de-
votion is amazing even to those
who have watched the war and
have been on the battlefelds for
years. Time after time the
Americans have charged into in
tense machine gun fire and
through artillery baTages and
driven back the Germans, whose
infantry cannot stand up in hand
to-hand combats.
An American lieutenant ran
into rolling kitchen at the road
side behind the lines and asked
for something to eat He trembl-
ed continually and a private Of
fered to help him to a hospital,
but the officer refused.
Pm going back to the front
with my boys" he said. Pm in
"a Stokes mortar outfit and got
shell shocked yesterday so they
sent me back when | couldn't
protest. | tried to get released
from the hospital, but the doctors
refused so there was nothing for
me to do but escape."

MOTHERS PAY DEAD /
SONS TRIBUTE.
LONDON HAS A WAR SHRINE
WHERE MOTHERS PAY TIL
Butte TO LOST SONS.
CBy The Associated Press)

LONDON, Sept. 18.-iLn a pictures
que corner of Hyde Park. not far
from the noisy thoroughfare over
which much of London's traffic pas
Ses, is a war shrine, in the shape Oh
a cross, where visitors may get some
idea of the sorrow Of country which
for four years has been weighted down
by the ravages OF war.
"All last week. says the Dispatch,
"the s,owmoving streams of gray
haired mothers, grief-worn wives, sis
ters, daughters, sweethearts passed
round the shrine, the masses of flow
ers were piled higher and higher, the
fresh fragrance of those of today
mingling with the faint scent of yes
terday's poler blossoms.
There were working women who
took part Of their luncheon hour to
join that little procession round the
shrine, there were children who came
in the late afternoon, and old men
who passed as twilight drew near.
Yesterday there was little woman
in black who came and laid small
bunch of roses as near the English
flag as she could On a card she had
written, in memory of Will, my
youngest boy, and near those fresh
roses were roses of the day before
to John and the day before that to
GEORGE
Three sons the little woman in
b ack had given, three cards, three
loosely tied punches of flowers she
had laid upon the war shrine. One
moment she paused to speak to one
'of the Green Cross girls, Z shall
come again in few weeks she said,
with eyes that were moist and lips
that smiled brayely, and then she
walked slowly away out of the park
to lonely home"

BANK SAVINGS SAFE UNLESS GERMANY
WINS

There seems to have been very insidious
propaganda carried on, obviously by secret
agents OF Germany, to the effect that savings
banks deposits are to be coniscated. It is diff
hcult to believe that any person in America
would credit such report for an instant. Sec
reary McAdoo says that the absurditv of these
statements is manifest, but in order to aav
the fears of few who might be alarmed bv
SUCH reports, he repeats officially that these ru
mors are wholly baseess.
There is but one thing that will in the least
put IN danger of confiscation the savings of the
American people, whether deposited in savings
banks or other banks or invested i, Liberty
bonds or any other investments, and that one
tnlng IS German victory. 1t is not the Ameri-
can Government that our people should fear,
but the German Government, and with the
American soldiers fighting as they are in France
and the American people supporting their Gov
eminent as they are in America the American
people, their liberty, their rights, and their
savings are safe
The United States instead Of confscatino or
endangering the savings and other pronertv of
us people IS defending them and theirs with all
the irresistible might of this invincible Republic.

Wheat, meat and sugar make up most of the
menu of this "lunch between shots" for our boys.
That is the reason civilians are asked to eat
war bread to save the heavier cuts of beef and
to make our national allotment Of sugar go
round
The abundant American harvests have brought
riffs in the food cloud, it is true But now is the
time for national reserve ration to make i'm
possible any such dire conditions as faced the al
lies early last spring Remember those word of
Lord Rhondda when he heard our wheat sup
plies had been eaten up: "The war is over; we
are beaten
America did her part then and she must do
her part now by preparing against any possible
repetition of that call of distress.

A GREAT MOVEMENT UNDER WAY TODAY

In twenty-five United States Army camps at
widely separated parts of the country there
will arrive today tomorrow and every few days
for the next several weeks little groups of ear
nest. purposeful young women. Many of them
are very, very pretty, all are strong, healthy
and well educated, and all are going to remain
with the army either here or in France for the
duration of the war.
They fare student slurSes+-memberS of the
first training units" of the Army School of
Nursing that has been established to help solve
the problem of nursing the sick and wounded of
the greater American army that will be in be-
ing-and in aetion-by next spring. The Army
School of Nursing together with the Red Cross
enrolment of the civil hospital schools through
the United States Student Nurse Reserve is the
answer to the great nursing question that con-
fronted the country when it was decided to put
not less than 100000 men under arms
The first thousand are beginning their train
ing by helping to take care of Casualties in
the camps to which the training units" are at
tached. AS soon as they have reached suita-
BILE stage OF training they may be sent to
France, if it is found necessary to supplement
the force of graduate nurses there In any
army hospitals and obtain the degree of regis
tered nurse by taking the third and last year
Ct their course in civil hospital
1t is said interest in this opportunity for wo-
men to help IN winning the war is so widespread
that nearly 10000 letters of inquiry have been
received by Surgeon General Gorgas.
Training units of from 80 to 40 students each
have been assigned now to eighteen army camps
from Massachusetts to California Each unit
has director, instructor in nursing and
teaching dietician The students receive every
thing free and in addition an allowance of SIS
month A recreationa director sees to it that
they are provided with entertainment and sports
for their off-duty hours and there are also
chaperons available
Recruiting to fill the nursing ranks has only
to continue as successful as it has been, accord
ing to the authorities, to make the country Sc
cure both from the standpoint of the armv's
need and that of the civil population Leaders
CT the nursing profession are gratifed both by
The response OF graduate nurses for service in
France and that of students for duty either in
civil or military hospitals.
Including the 10000 already in actual service
more than $4,000 graduate nurses have been
enrolled in answer to General Gorgas' plea for
10000 by January /. If it becomes necessary
to supplement the graduate nurses abroad with
less completely trained women it is expected
that sufficient number of the Army NURSING
school Students will be ready in time

VEST VIRGINIA PROUD OF JOHN W. DAVIS


1t is with peculiar pride that the people of
West Virginia hear of the additional great
honor which has been bestowed upon one of its
most promising sons John w. Davis, by the
President, is appointing him ambassador to
the great Court of St. James. To be an ambas-
sador to any foreign country in this stage OF
the worlds history requires man capable Of
doing big things, and to be appointed to repre-
sent the United States at this particular time
as It's emissary to Great Britain is an honor
highly to be priced
John w Davis has already made place for
himself in the political history of West Vir-
ginia. For many years he has been very promi-
nent in the politics of the state. Beginning his
career as a member of the State Legislature
Tor two years he became the Democratic can
didate for Eleetor-at-arge in 1900. In 1904 he
was member of the Democratic National Con-
vention held in st. Louis and later still was
elected to the Sixty second and Sixty third Con-
crosses from the First West Virginia district.
1t was as a nlaraber of the House that Mr.
Davis career actually began. He became a
member Of the highly important Committee Oh
Judiciary and soon was recognized as one of the
leaders of that body. His profound knowledge
Of the law was 5, apparent that President Will
son appointed him Solicitor-General, asking him
to give up his seat in Congress to accept the
position.
When the time came for the Democrats of
West Virginia to select candidate for the po-
sition of United States Senator, now held by
Nathan Golf, John w. Davis was strongly urged
to become a candidate for the position, and it
ic hat oT oiy7 TO tho4h p
would have no opposition for the position if he
cared to run But he declined and instead came
out strongly in behalf of former Senator Clar-
ence w Watson, now a lieutenant-colone in the
ordnance department Of the United States army
Mr.. Davis support of Mr.. Watson undoubtedly
had much to do with the latter's nomination
over William E. Chiffon.
No appointment made by the President has
been more universally popular than that of the
brilliant and able West Virginan. Republicans
and Democrats alike, in Congress and out, ex-
pressed their approval of the Presidents selec-
ton and gave oral expression to the high esteem
il which they hold Mr.. Davis No less a per-
sonage than Chief Justice White, of the United
States Supreme Court was recently quoted as
saying that John w. Davis was the greatest
SGlicitor-General that had appeared before the
Supreme Court since Lawrence Maxwell, TWEEN.
ty years ago.
Mr.. Davis was born in 1873, and is only d
years Old With past and present so usefu
10 his country we cannot be accused of rash
ness il we predict q still greater future for him
West Virginia is proud of him and congratulate:
herself as well as Mr.. Davis upon the honor
conferred.

fices are in vain. There is only one
kind of loyalty worth their sacrifices
and that is whole-hearted loyalty and
sacrifice. If you understand the
meaning of the great struggle, you
should be loyal unto death
What Will You Say? 4
"a vision of the future comes to
me. The little children will come
home from school and they will ask
what you did in that great war. Will
you have to say, My boy, during that
war l grew rich. l made money. l
changed into gold the blood of the
best boys of the men of this nation
For shame! at the expense of the ma
tion and the hearts believing in the
greatness of the flag, you are grow
ing richer. Take care that you are
able to say you did your best.
"You must realize how serious is
the crisis. The world will not go the
kaiser's way. 1t is going as it has
done, the way of freedom, love and
justice. We are certain of victory,
but we want to shorten it. 1t is a
crime, war against our hearts. We
must stop it and in order to do it we
must sacrifice everything we have to
bring back the smile to the faces of
those bereft mothers.
A Message to the Mothers
at is with the greatest pleasure
/ bring to you tonight this message
of love and gratitude from France.
You must know that now, you have
not one capital but two. Not the
one great capitol at Washington
along, but Washington and Paris. If
you were to go to Paris today you
would see there more American flags
than there are in any city in the
United States. A little girl in Phila-
delphia made an American flag which
was sent to Paris, and there it was
raised over the dome of the city hall,
above the flags of the allies, even
above that of France.
"To mothrs l would say, don't
worry about your boys over there. Of
course, they will suffer, but believe
a soldier, it is easy to suffer, it is
easy to die, for great cause. And
their reception over there was such
as to make the French mothers, jeal-
Gus for their own sons, who were
never received in such a manner.
Never had a French regiment been
received with such enthusiasm even
in their native cities.
"To the mothers of the boys who
will never come back, / would tell
them that the mothers of France,
with empty hearts now, will take
their places. The little children
gather the fairest flowers for their
graves and never is there one left
INTENDED. The same love is expended
on the graves of America and Of
France alike.
