Dead Soldier Held Flowers
Like In the Home Garden

When the white sheet was removed
from the body OF a soldier in the
Camp Dix dead house the stif fingers
clutched a bunch Of wild flowers.
A few hours before death he a
asked the nurse to push his cot where
he could see the sun go down back OF
the New Jersey pines. When the doc
tor told him he was about to die he
made no reply, and continued to gaze
out into the twilight as 1t deepened
into darkness. Then he asked the
nurse DO pick him some wild flowers
Just outside the window and, when
she did, he said, 81 used to pick them
at home"
The night nurse came OF duty and
was told what the doctor had SAID
and hat the dying soldier had no near
kin to notify. A few minutes before
he died he whispered, 81 feel lonely"
The night nurse had noticed him
fondling the flowers like those he
used to pick at home" and she did not
have the heart to take them from his
hand before the attendants carried the
body away. .
The incident has led the nurses at
the cszap hospital to send out an APP
peal " visitors to bring flowers or TO
send checks drawn to~the order OF

sick to feel they are not forgotten by

Today We Celebrate
Marine Day.

France will celebate today the
fourth anniversary OF the beginning
Of the battle of the Marine which
saved aPris from the Germans and
brought to an end the long retreat of
the Allies. Following the precedent
established three years ago, the
graves Of French soldiers on the bat
tlefield at Meaux and its survivors
will be decorated and England, the
United States and Italy will join in
paying tribute to the heroes who so
gallantly gave their lives in the de-
Tense Of France. BY this victory on
the Marine the Kaiser was prevented
from making good his boast that he
would eat his Christmas dinner of
1914 in Paris, Just as IL was through
Fochs' superior strategy at the recent
second battle of the Marine that the
Crown Prince and Ludendorff were
prevented from entering the French
capital.
The fifth of September, 1914, mark
ed the high water mark OF the Teuton
invasion of France. The great Ger
man military machine had passed
ruthlessly across Luxembourg and
Belgium, and the mighty Teuton
hordes pushed relentlessly on toward
Paris.
To oppose the Invaders Joffre had
at his command five French armies
and the two army corps of the Brit
ish. The latter. almost overwhelmed
by the overpowering forces Of the
Germans at Mons. barely extricated
themselves in the new famous re-
treat from Mons. Again and again
the Germans advanced. and the
French and their British allies re-
treated. The great drive ON Paris
seemed certain to succeed. Won
KIuck's army fastened toward the
Eropah onftaI 49, t .-
ing the ground at amazing speed.
practically unopposed. The govern
ment officials deserted Paris, and
thousands of citizens fed from the
capital.
On the fifth of September Joffre
gave the ORDER which changed the
Fabian retreat into an attack. The
order was greeted with wild enthusi-
asm in the camps of the French and
British. They had taken part in a re-
treat as mastery as was ever engi-
neered by Quintus Maximus in his
warfare against the hordes of Hanni-
bal. but they had grown weary Of re-
treating.
The battle of the Marine began on
September s. and ended on September
10. Estimates of the number en-
and the Allies at1.125.0o0. The bat
tie reached its crucial stage in the
conflict between the Sixth French
Army under Manuory and the Ger
mans of Won Kluck. For a time the
French. aided by the British ham
mering at Won Kluck's left, had the
advantage. Then the tide turned. and
IL seemed that the complete envefop-
ment and destruction OF Manoury's
army was only a matter of hours, for
the Germans had received large re-
Inducements. At this ju~ncture Gal
lieni. then military governor of Paris.
went to the rescuee. With an army Of
20, 600. in a feet OF 5000 motor cars.
he hurried TO Manoury's aid. The tide
was turned and the Germans were
swept back to the positions prepared
for them. when the period OF trench
warfare commenced.

Alien Child.
By Special Correspondent.
TOTTENvILLE. Sept. 5:-An Inn
portant law recently enacted requires
all foreigners under the & of twenty
one years, both men and women, boys
and girls, to register at the nearest
evening school and take up the study
of English. Thus every alien minor is
compelled by law to attend some
school, to learn to read and write Eng
fish, and to become acquainted with
the customs, institutions and ideals Of
his country.
1t seems but a question of time be-
fore all. foreigners will be included in

The reasons for the enactment OF
such a law at this time are obvious.
Millions Of foreigners, it has been
found, do not know how to read and

When war broke out, 1t was found
hat many did not understand the
ideals for which we are fighting. Many
soldiers in camp did not understand
commands issued in the language OF
the country in which they a beeh
living for years.
The country must be made safe for
Americans. There must be n Ian
guage and that English, one class OF
people and hat American.
If you know of any foreigner in
your neighborhood. shop, factory, or
plant, it is your duty to call his atten
ton to this new aw.
The T~ottenville Evening Trade
School offers a complete course in
Americanization for foreigners. The
course will be the first of it's kind in
New York City and will enable the
foreigner who completes 1t not only
to read, write, speak and understand
our language, but to apply for and Sc
cure his naturalization papers.
The textbooks used will be entirely
new and are the work of the princi-
pal of the school, Mr.. /. David Cohen,
who Is well-known as a specialist In
this work.
The Tottenville. Evening Trade
School is open four evenings each
week. Monday. Tuesday, Wednesday
