ORPHAN SOLDIERS ARE
IN NEED OF FRIENDS

Among our soldiers there is a
large and important element who
are without friends and relatives.
For convenience, we shal call
these orphan soldiers. There are
many men and women of means
who have no sons to give to Uncle
Sam and who are anxious to do
their bit. These citizens can rem
der an invaluable service by send
ing smileage to orphan soldiers.
Plan to send a certain number OF
Smileage Books each month to
these BOYS Let them know you
are behind them. The regimental
chaplains will gladly undertake
this distribution.

any great distance from the present

Sinking continues at a satisfactory
rate in the main shaft of the Grand

is not sufficient to interfere with
this work. The shaft has been in

The Kind Of Men Our 1900, oeo In
France Are.

The latest enterprise of our troops
in the Chateau Thlerry region. In
which the village Of Vaux, the Bols
de la Roche, and neighboring woods
were stormed by american infantry
supported by American artillery and
American nviators, gives evidence Of
the rapid advance that General PER
sHING's forces are making In their
work. The attack on the positions
sought and gained was delivered with
dash and spirit, the subsequent de-
fence was maintained successfully.
Neither attack nor defence could
have been made ny units not thor
oughly prepared for all the emergen-
cies Of modern war in its most ad-
vanoed development.
The steadfastness Of the American
troops is testified to by General PER
sHING's report that in the vicinity
Of Chateau Thlerry they have taken
1900 prisoners in the last month.
This Is far In excess Of the number
or prisoners captured by the Germans
from the American units on nll sec
tors held by us since our men went
into the trenches. This tale of cap.
tives reveals the aggressive quality
of the work our men are doing. 1t Is
also plain that the liaison between the
Americans and the French well nigh
achieves perfection. The various en-
gaGementS in which they have taken
part have involved actions by the
French, and success could not have
been attained had there not been com
plete understanding and sympathetic
support on both sides.
III Yesterdays news from Washing
ton the country was informed Of the
gratifying fact that we now have
more than million men in France.
OF their number we are thus assured.
and If their quality each can judge
for himself by the splendid acts they
perform and which the communicates

The fires Senator TLLMAN lighted

age to consume him. In 1905 he de-
feated General BUTLER for Senator

was reelected unanimously. In 1918
he was opposed, and had he lived he
would have faced hard fight for his

in these later years, marked the prog

An Open Confession.

The editorial article headed AN
Open Confession which we reprint
to-day from the Gcrmdnia Herold Of
Milwaukee, Wis, records a change in
attitude and conviction on the part Of
German sympathlzer which Is i'm
portant In itself and Of particular
moment because it Is typical Of the
alteration of sentiment now in prog
ress among large numbers of men and
women Of German untecedents In this
country. In some cases this altera-
ton has produced IL complete rever-
sal Of opinion; in others it has not
yet reached the point Of absolute
abandonment of previously held be-
liefs, but it has shaken them tn a
degree which offers an opportunity
for the instruction of many persons
hitherto imperviou, to argument and
intolcrant of fact.
We have devoted considerable space
to this utterance because it Is symp-
tomato Of the educational processes
that have been In operation In all
parts Of the nation. Their effect is
already apparent in the great modl-
fication Of belief that Is observable
on every side. In this case. truth Is
indeed making men free; free from
an nlien enemy bondage that rem
dered them intellectually dependent
on foreign land and robbed them Of
their initiative and mental freedom
