THAT FIGHTING SPIRIT OF
THE AMERICAN BOYS

George W. Titus, Y. NJ. c. A. work
er. tells on his return from France,
of the fighting spirit Of our Ameri-
can boys.
He says "Our boys are so willing
to give up the rest and easy time
which they have earned by hard work
in the trenches that they very often
remain at the front and go into action
with relief units, sometimes France
or British troops, days after they
should have been in leave camp re-
cuperating for another tour Of duty
at the front At Scissors many
wounded men came back to our field
hospital after their own units had
retired to the rear.
at is difficult to understand how
this could happen unless one had seen
how our fighting men may become
s., arated from their units in hard
battles. They go over the top to-
gether but after that anything may
happen. This il may turn out that
~hen units are withdrawn to make
way for relief forces, small groups
will become detached from their own
companies. While waiting around for
some Of their fellows the lure of
battle will become so strong that they
rush back into action with units that
they have never seen before.
"In one instance where il was nee
essary to divide company that was
scheduled for leave and detail half
of the men fer reserve duty, the cap
tain stated the case briefly and asked
for volunteers. Every man in the
company volunteered for the service
that would keep him near the front"
At Cantigny, men were coming out
of action practically shot 10 pieces
But as they lay on their cots in the
field hospital they joshed and laughed
in spite of the pain they suffered
cat one moment. wounded man
would groan as a sudden pain darted
through his body, and the next min
ute he would be laughing and saying
Cad. did you see those Huns rum
Men severely wounded would 90
unaided to the dressing stations One
man with both arms dangling helpless
by his side refused the aid Of two
stretcher bearers, telling them not to
mind him, but to keep on and bring
in man whose legs wouldn't bring
him"
Mr.. Titus was with a trench mortar
battery at Catigny in May when the
battery threw 776 big bombs into the
village in one day. These trench NOR
tiers, which never had been used be-
fore by the United States forces, were
most destructive and sent the Ger
mans on the run in such hurry that
heavy guns which they had abandon
ed were found loaded and ready to
be turned upon them when the Amer
icans captured the village.

IY(TUN THFlATER.

Douglas sure does star a great hit
with his favorites in Say Young Eel
low, which is playing at the Lyceum
tonight and for the remainder of the
week. Douglas is a cub reporter in
this picture and he never lets an OPP
portunity pass by him. He is sent
to get the story of a, graft deal and
finds himself in a very astounding
and amazing position, but through
common sense he comes out the vic
tor. Doug still continues to throw
them around and he is still at his
rough daredevil stunts and he sure
does make everyone happy in this
picture The theme of Say Young
Fellow" is very simple and
yet a thing which people sometime s
fails to uae 1t is just common
sense. This is an attraction of the
highest class not only because of the
prominence and popularity Of the
star, but because of it's inherent good
qualities as q picture with a great
moral fine dramatic action and I'M
usual heart appeal. Coupled with
these elements there is q vein of
highly enjoyable comedy of which
Douglas Fairbanks has made the
most. There is also another big pic
ture on tho program starring the
clever star, William Desm ond. This
photoplay is one which is exceedingly
interesting.
The vaudeville bill is one which
sent all away pleased and happy with
the words great and fine on their lips.
A better bill could not be presented
or a more entertaining one could not
be found. The Kilafy Riddles pre-
sent q clever act that is out of the
ordinary and Ed Healy has some up
to-(late jokes and songs while the four
girls presenting "NOW-a days, give

FOT'S TTHESTFR.

Evelyn Ncsbit and her son, Russell
Thaw in "The Woman Who Gave, is
the main attraction at FOX's tonight
with a crackeriack vaudeville show.
In "The Woman Who Gave" the
struggle Of an artists MODEL who was
forced 10 marry a man whom she de
tested and whose beauty was so OK
plotted by her husband that she grew
to hate her own charms is picturized
with tremendous intensity in this
William Fox photoplay. This is the
first of a series of master productions
featuring this beautiful and accom-
plshed star. THE Woman Who
Gave" tells the story of a Woman's
sgfferings under the hand of her hus-
band, a Bulgarian prince.
How she finally revolts on account
of her young son and how fate in
tervenes so that she is permitted to
seek her happiness and live for her
son is developed with unusual clever
ness in this unique story.

there was something about this colo

His eyes. the pupils darkened to
blackness, fairly stabbed me, and l
saw that his lips, when he opened

THE SERVICE FLAG.

Every organization from which has
gone forth members to serve the ma
ton in the army or navy should have
a service flag. These flags are splen-
did reminders to those who have been
excused from service by the nation
that they owe a duty to the brave
fellows who are standing between
their homes and a force that would de-
stroy these homes and make vassals
Of a free people. A service flag would
be a perpetual text in advocacy Of self
denial for the sake OF others, first for
the lads who are wearing the khaki
and then for the people who are so
heroically Offering their lives in de-
Tense Of a great principle. There are
not enough service flags where they
should be Who is responsible for
this omission? Who is going to rem

DRINKING THEMSELVES OUT OF
SUPPLY.

Whiskey drinkers of the United
States at their present rate of con-
sumption are drinking themselves out
of supply. The Washington Times
makes known that there is only eigh-
teen months supply in stock. The
Times says so rapid is the rate of con-
sumption that all of the whiskey will
be gone in eighteen months or the
summer of 1919. This, it says, is a
conservative estimate of government
officials who have been watching the
rate of flow from the warehouses
since the proclamation of President
Wilson stopped distilling on Septem-
Der s. 1917. There are only about
157 zoe. 600 gallons left in these ware
houses. Government experts say the
normal per capita consumption Of
whiskey in the United States is about
one gallon a year. This is a statisti-
cal way of saving the annual normal
consumption is 100.0O0000 gallons a
year. At this rate the available sup
ply figuring from February l, will
last little more than eighteen months.
but expert authorities say the odd
100000 will be absorbed during the
eighteen months period and that all
the whiskey left on August l, 1919,
will be in private hands and that it
will not he much at that,

PROFANITY,

Profanity, like the tail of a coat, is
not very useful. but often it serves to
embellish some statement, just as the
tail on. the coat hides a patch in the
seat of the trousers, which, without
the strong language would hardly be
appropriate for a parade before COM
pany,
A statement which is couched in
clear. forceful language and which is
based on a foundation of facts needs
ro profanity to carry the conviction
which follows such an utterance. 1t
is only to conceal the patches of poor
logic that profanity is regularly en-
ployed.
The man who convinces merely be-
cause he emphasizes each sentence
with a number Of foul words and ugly
oaths is seldom able to convince a fell
low man who has the intelligence to
realize where the patch may be con-
cealed.
Try to think and talk in such man
ner that no patches in your mental
trousers will be exposed should gust

to one side.
