DRAFT THEM 10 THE FIELDS

Captain w. c. Davis, chairman of
the Council of Defense for this coun-
ty, has a timely article in this is
sue which we ask all of our readers to
read carefully and think seriously of
this situation. We hear daily cries
OF patriotism from all ages, but thev
talk rather than act. Our BOYS are
IN France and in camp preparing to
60 over there" and lay down their
lives for us at home, and still we have
hundreds of thousands of boys and
men, over the age limit, that do moth
ing but lay around, expecting the
other fellow to raise the food, am
munitlon, ETC., to win this great strug
gle, while he sits and reads his daily
paper, goes fishing or does nothing
but eat 'dad's" rations. We have
good crops this year, but unless
something is done, they cannot he
harvested as the farming class is be.
ing sent to war every day. 1t mat
ters not how much money you have,
you are no better than any one else
You are not thought as much of as
the fellow who tills the soil and tries
to help feed the nation. Shame should
stare you in the. face and make you
go to work. The time is near at hand
when the government will draft ali
siackers to the fields or to the front.
Wake up boys, and show the world
that you, though too young to shoul-
der rifle on the battle front, are do
ing ,hg your bit at home by helping make
the food to keep up our armies and
make the world safe forever.

Yanks-
QUICKLY ADAPT THEMSELVES
Admiration OF French and British Vet
Grams Is Arouoed by Conduct Of
Americans on Bloody Bat
tIefieids Of France.

With the American Army.+The cal
lousness and steady nerves of fresh
American troops in recent advances
have gladdened the hearts of veteran
British and French who have observed
them, as well as filed with pride their
own officers.
The horror of warfare is more ap-
parent during an offensive when an
army is advancing than at any other
time; even during a defensive action
in retreat. Attacking troops advance
over the enemy's positions, dotted with
dead and dying, then dig in and fight
among the corpses and MANNED. Often
in counter-attack they are temporari-
ly thrust back a few yards, and there
dig in and fight again, this time among
the bodies of their own fallen COM
rades.
When their advance becomes deeper
and the enemys retreat more general,
as in Won Boehm's retirement from the
Marine to the VeSle, the terrain be-
comes even more CHASTITY. A wide belt
of country is Uttered with dead men
and dead horses. The advancing army,
eager to maintain contact with the
enemy at all times, has no time to
bury or burn these corpses, respec-
lively. The supporting troops follow
ing up the advance guards must live
and eat among these grewsome sights.
Never Feased Them.
Fresh, untried Americans, who had
not seen the frightfulness Of war, al
though they had been trained in it's
artifice and had been in the line in
quiet sectors, traversed the CHASTITY
country like veterans, never turning
a hair at the sight of dead, friends
or foes, even when they came upon
such sights as Reddy farm, Bellevue
farm, Cierges, Seringes ct Nesles and
Sergy.
In these places, particularly the
first two mentioned, the bodies of the
Prussian Guardsmen were literally
lying in heaps, for these picked troops
had been told to maintain their
strong point positions until death, and
in most cases they followed orders
The dead were in the distorted posi-
lions that indicated how the end had
come to them. Those killed in ma
chine-gun pits were smashed to bits,
the effect of hand grenades and bombs
which American advance guards had
tossed in among them after working
round their TANKS and getting in be-
hind them.
Occasionally one saw German snip
ers or machine gunners sprawled fiat

New York.-Although the fuel prob

homes last year is to a great extent re-
sponsible for the unprecedented bust
ness of the apartment hotels this fall,
there have been new developments
which increase the influx of apartment
hotel jewellers throughout the city. The
greatest individual reason is the serv-

Persons who have had servant STATS

known to lose as many as three in

and the prices offered for it.

FOE FEARS FRENCH TANKS

With the American Armies.-Greater
laurels daily are being won by the
French light tanks which are cooper
ating with the American forces in
pushing the Germans back toward the
Rhine.
Among the many individual feats OF
the tanks and their drivers which have
come to light, one of the most interest
ing is that of Brigadier Collier. who
has been decorated with the cross of
the Legion of Honor for his work In
light tank which enabled Is American
soldiers to capture 100 Germans
Several hundred of these tanks led
the COMMUNICATIVE from the Villers-
Cotterets forest In July, which marked
what appears to have been the turning
point of the war. They broke through
the enemy's lines, destroying his ma
chine guns, overcoming strong centers
of resistance and spreading panic and

to seventeen.
The Inhabitants, however, must pay
in French gold or silver for their ra-
lions. The supplies, of course, were
taken from the population before be
ing sold back to them.

SIGNAL MEN HUSTLE

after a division that is continually
gaining ground.
'As soon as the infantry makes
push you have to get telephone line
strung into the farthest ruins or woods
or wheat field, no matter how many
German shells are scattering madly
over the area.
Then, about the time you get a wire
stretched along the ground and in
working order, call up headquarters to
tell them, 'This is the new post at
Squeedunk; give us ring to see how
she works." along comes another Boche
shell and cuts the communication.
There's nothing to do but go out and
find the cut and fix it, and probably
more Boche shells are trying to make
more cuts in communication, or even
cut you of.
The signal corps had wires every
where, in bushes, along the ground, on
poles left by the Boches, underground,
through ruins. Headquarters say they
never had such quick service, and they
were never out of communication with
regiments longer than the few minutes
it took signal corps man to inspect
the wires and repair a break
A signal corps man was stringing
some wires across a wheat field. "Some

HARD DAYS FOR THE CROOKS
New Draft Law Makes 1t Easy to
Hunt Down Criminals

Cleveland.-Its getting harder every
day for an honest crook to get by. Po-
lice here are not satisfied to hunt
crooks in the regular way, but are go
ing out of their line to look them up,
according to the plants of the under
world. 1t isn't enough to make them
give up their easy life, earned at the
expense of the city, to register and go
to war, but now the local police are go
ing to get lot more of them by means
of registration cards for the draft.
Many of the robbers and other GRIM
inals have escaped detection through
a series of aliases, but with their reg
istration under the eighteen to forty
five call they had to make known their
right names, and police assert that it
will be "easy picking now to gather
in a number of men who have been
wanted for some time.

on the ground at the foot Of a tree
after they had been shot out OF their
cam9ufaged positions among it's foil
age The most sfckening sights were
where bodies of the enemy had at
tempted to make stands in bitches or
beside sunken roads and had been
trapped by American enfilade machine
gun fire. The deadly automatic rifles
had ripped through whole lines of
Germans, and Investigation frequently
showed that every mans body vas
pierced by seven or eight bullets and
that frequently the same bullet passed
through three or four men. These
corpses looked like heaps Of rags or
discarded uniforms and equipment, so
closely did they overlap one another.
No Trace of Nervousness.
But, despite all, the Americans
marched forward, stopped three or
four times a day for meals, and then
made camp, and slept at night amid
the horrible surroundings without ever
doing more than showing a surprising
preliminary interest in the matter. If
they saw a corpse in khaki they looked
it over closely to see if they knew who
it was. Only occasionally did they
have time to inter it; that was left to
the burying parties that followed them
up. AS they walked through woods
and fields to get water or supplies, they
implanted rifles, bayonets down, in the
ground to mark the spot of every dead
American they discovered.
But there was no trace of nervous
ness and no evidence of any of the
men worrying or brooding over the
fate of their fallen comrades. The
corpses were entirely impersonal to
them and never ratified even the new
est recruit.
The doughboys showed no back
wardness about appropriating Luger
automatic pistols, the most priced
souvenir to be had, from dead Boches,
nor did they hesitate to pluck off we'll
camouflaged helmets from the pates of
Hun cadavers.

call them. the advance was three miles
a day.
1t was these same French light tanks
which preceded the Americans in their
advance upon Juvigny and Terny on
the scissors plateau. One of them,
manned by a lieutenant, killed more
than 200 Germans on the plateau
Documents that have come into the
hands OF the French staff show that
the Germans are greatly worried by
the light tanks and are studiously
coaching their men In methods of de-
Tense against them
The light cars have the advantage
of greater speed and of being more
easily handled than the heavier tanks.
They require a crew of only two men,

Rescuinu Fish,

The rescue of fish is one of the &C
tivities of the bureau of fisheries. 1t
is an important work, but the nature
and importance Of it are little under
stood by persons outside of the regions
in which it is carried on. While the
bureau conserves fish, propagates and
distributes fish and labors to educate
mankind on the subject Of fish, it also
rescues fish. In times of flood, when
streams and rivers swell beyond their
banks and overflow wide stretches of
land, myriads of valuable food fish are
carried along with the water. The
flood passes, the rivers subside into
their normal courses and the fish are
left inland to perish as the flood-water
evaporates or seeps into the land.
Gangs Of men under the guidance Of
the fisheries bureau gather the fish
from these overflow lakes, which are
often of great extent, and cast them
loose in the streams or rivers.

ENJOY SINGING IN CHORUS
Why Children Should Be Encouraged
to Take Part in Exercises of
Juvenile GIee Clubs.

Anyone who has watched a class Of
schoolchildren singing their songs to-
gether, or the members of juvenile
glee club raising their voices in mel
ody, knows to how great an extent chill
dren enjoy expressing themselves mu-
sically. 1t is perhaps one of the few
times when they begin to get an APP
probation of what concerted action
means in creating strength and power
both for the individual as well as the
group. You seldom get child to stand
up and sing alone, but place him
among large group of children and
note the change in him-the change in
his expression, his bearing and his
whole attitude.
1t is therefore a cause for much en-
cOuragement to hear the news that peo-
pie are growing interested in commu-
nifty choruses for children. The move
ment for grownups has become wide
spread and its good results have been
appreciated by all who have taken an
active part in it. The question natur-
ally arises, then, why wait until per-
son is grown up before you let him
take part in that which undeniably is
beneficial to him? Why not give the
child an opportunity to unsteady ex-
press himself before he has grown too
self-cOnscious to do it freely2
