And now we have reached the real
comfort chapter of the Red Cross
work. I wonder if those of u.s. who
are seated by comfortable fire-places
as cold winter approaches, in cozy
homes with plenty Of warm clothing
and food cooked and served quite to
our notion, bed that Is restful, a
night quiet with the silence Of our
wonderful big west, and assurance
that no moster guns will disturb our
early morning nap or the exacting
call of reville hurry us out; can
think what trench life means to our
gallant boys who will live in them
perhaps the entire coming winter.
We know it rains in France, hard
sometimes, long and cold and drizz-
ley other times and sleets and SHOWS
and freezes. 1t is just terrible to
be exposed night and day for ten
days at a stretch with no opportunity
to change clothing and an ugly,
fierce, bloody battle waging continu-

and county-going on continually;

BLACKFOOT WOMAN
WRITER RECOGNIZED

Mrs. M. E. Soth of Blackfoot wrote
a fine descriptive article on life at
the summit of Pixies Peak that was
published in the August number of
Outdoor Life
Mrs. Soth spent one season on the
peak and as one reads her article it
seems so realistic it is satisfying. It
is fine recognition of worth, to have
an article accepted by a magazine
of such standing as Outdoor Life"
and biackfoot is richer for having
s'lch woman. Mrs. Soth is quite a
student Of botany, and is very en-
tertaining and very much at home
wherever there ia plant life.

glad they went, and are wondering
why they did not go sooner.

WITH THE AMERICAN ARMY
ON THE AISNE-MARNE FRONT

shrapnel and machine-gun fire and
waves of gas, the Americans forced
their way over the Vesle river last
night and early this morning, while

to a downpour, drenched the battle:
field.
French troops already have gained
positions on the American left and
the joint movement has Strengthened
out the line from a point west of
Bazoches to Fismes.
The Germans lost considerably in
casualties. Prisoners stories tended
to corroborate the opinion of those
previously taken that the Germans
expect to continue their retreat until
the Aisne Is reached.
The attack began between and
S O'Clock Tuesday afternoon. BY
midnight those on the right had
reached their objectives, the main
highway east and west extending
along the foothills that rise north
of the river. 'ar
The artillery was delayed, but it
also reached the line shortly before
8 o'clock in the morning.
The army on both sdes are still
fighting duels and the Germans con-
tinue small arm resistance. But
every hour the position Of the
French and ..mericans are more Sc

can boys who are fighting overseas.
The appeal from Washington
states that new novels and good
western stories, whether new or old

Jane Grey, Rex Beach, Jack London,

nearly exhausted and several hun
dred thousand more will be needed

ping books to France. The books
are packed in strong cases and built
to serve the purpose Of booksace.
The library Is very anxious to have
as many books turned in as soon as
possible which will enable them to
send the box which by the addition
of few more books will be ready
for shipment.
These books go on the decks of
transports, cargo and naval vessels.
Those that go on decks of transports
are opened, which afford splendid
reading matter while on their voy-
age. These books are gathered to-
gether again, however, replaced in
the cases, and delivered to the Of

In France the books are dis
tributed by an appointed experienced
