First Training Today.

Some idea of just how comprehensive
a training the machine gunners must
undergo before they are allowed to
participate in trench warfare at the
front is afforded by the fact that not
until today have the bulk of the mem
bers of the battalion been permitted
to fire a gun This statement, OF
course, does not apply to the commits
stoned and non-commissioned officers
of the battalion. for they have already
had considerable target practice with
the rapid-fire guns.
The machine gun is now more widely
used than any other arm Of the mill
tary service. 1t is prominently the
weapon of the aeroplane and the tank.
Trench warfare has put the machine
gun in the very front rank for defense
purposes, because it is aaweapon which
economies men. But for this weapon
the front-line trenches would have to
be held by dense masses of soldiers,
18th CORRESPONDENCE higher casualties.
The machine gun. which permits these
trenches to be thinly held, reduces the
number of casualties to minimum.

Bootleggers in Net.

AS a result of the cooperation be-
tween the military police from Camp

to the federal authorities for trial
There were more soldiers and sailors
in Baltimore Saturday night than at
any time since the opening of Camp
Meade according to the reports of the
police.
Plans are being considered by the
athletic council of the 10th Division to
erect a coliseum or open-air theater on
the reservation. where boxing, wrestling
and other field sports may be staged 1t

mrs GROVE NEVER LOST FAITH IN

Healthy As This Woman

Every one for miles around the good
farming town of Tuck and Petit
Station know how Mrs Mary
Grove suffered from rheumation for
years They all remember when Mrs.
Groves limbs were horribly swollen at
the joints. They remember wildly
how the good woman would try TO do
her house work and how utterly USE
less the efforts we're. And they re-
member, too, that Mrs Grove tried
everything that was suggested to her.
Never Lost Faith.

"My neighbors for miles around

They can't help knowing it, for 60

If the thousands of weak, ailing

READY FOR THE FOURTH LOAN

Missouri IL ready for the Fourth
Liberty Loan, so far as money in the
banks goes. State Bank Commission
or Enright announces that the total
deposits In state banks and trust COM
panies amounted to S4s4,690, 936.09 on
June 20, the highest mark in history.
When the total deposits Of the ma
tional banks are added, the grand to-
tai for the state approximates $780,
100000. The showing as to the state
institutions is especially significant.
in view Of the fact that compora-
lively few Of them belong to the Fed
eral Reserve system. although the
largest are members. The nonmem-
bers have been at a disadvantage as
to government deposits. Missouri has
responded literally to the three LIB
erty loans. the subscription to the
third being especially well distributed.
1t Is estimated that the state has paid
over ss50.0oo.0o0 for government OBJ
legations within the year, yet the to-
tai deposits Of state financial institu-
lions are over SOC, 00O. 900 greater than
a year ago, practically all the gain
being IN individual deposits.
This indicates that Missourians
lihave been sharing In war prosperity
even though no cantonment was 10
Gated in the state and comparatively
few munition plants are running.
Much of the prosperity is due to the
stimulation of agriculture and there
is every reason to expect its continue
ton, along with a growth in other
lines.
Missouri had an excellent organiza-
ton in the last loan drive and it is
presumed that 1t win be available for
the coming loan campaign. The pub
lie has been educated to the meaning
Of bond buying and everybody recog-
nizes the fun significance Of the war.
The quota will be much larger than
that of the third loan. but with proper
organization and diligent activity,
Missourians win be able to reach 1t,
with their new resources.-Editorial
Globe-Democrat Of Aug 81. 1913

EGYPT IS ALL READY
FOR OPENING FOURTH
LOAN DRIVE SEPT. %
Patriots Are Awake to the Fact That
War Must Be Financed and Won
Through Their Aid.

When the gong sounds for the open
ing of the Fourth Liberty Loan cam
paign that section IF Illinois included
In the Eighth Federal Reserve Dis
trict will be ready for sprint that
will take 1t through the race and carry
It "over the top" In Jig time, no mat
ter what the quota may be.
This is the opinion Of 2. 2. Crab
tree, state chairman for Illinois, who
ran down from his home in Jackson
vile, where he is banker, and spent
Tuesday at his desk at Liberty Loan
headquarters in the Railway Exchange
Building.
There is nothing to It." declared
Mr.. Crabtree, "but just going out and
picking up the money. Many thou
sands of dollars are already in the
banks applied already to the purchase
of the Fourth bonds, and our people
are making all of their plans for quick
subscriptions.
There Is one woman In Jackson
Vile, whose name I do not care to
give, who has already placed her order
for $4,000 of the bonds. She was ad-
vised to go on the market and buy
previous issues Of Liberty Bonds at a
discount, and was shown whereby she
could save $1,000 by the transaction.
But this patriotic woman said she
wanted to do her bit and she said she
would prefer taking Fourth bonds at
par. Therefore she bought Treasury
Certificates of Indebtedness, and has
instructed her banker to exchange
these for Fourth Liberty Bonds on
Sept. %, Volunteer Day"
Reports recalling me from other
cities in our part of the district as
sure me that all are making ready for
the drive, and that our quota will be
quickly absorbed. And we are ex-
pecting the quota to be larger this
time than in the previous loans.
People realize that the sooner the
war Is over the more lives will be
saved, and they are ready to invest
their dollars that lives may not be
lost because Of penury."

Adair Co., News:
/ take this method of sending
to my friends back at home these
few words of greeting from over
here. l have been on this side
of the Atlantic since April 9th.
During that time l have seen a
goodly part of England, what re-
mains of Belgium and the whole
of France from the north to
Masseilles and Nice on the Medi-
terranean Sea. A convalscent
leave after an appendix operation
gave me the opportunity of see
ing Southern France.
Our first stop in France was in
a small village some distance
back from the zone of war &C.
tivities. Here we were brought
into close contract with typical
French rural life. The people
were generous, hospitable and
of our timely COM
ing. In spite of the handicap of
a foreign language. which very
few of US had ever studied, our
men associated much with our
foreign allies. We managed to
pick up enough words and phras-
es to answer in monosyllables
their questions, which you could
usually tell by the infection of
their voice. All our boys are
fast learners and many will come
back to the states with a Partisan
accent as well as manners.
There are many things we
could proftably learn from the
French, but, l think, there are
far more that they could learn
from us. Their methods of agri.
culture are antiquated. Their
crops of grain are harvested by
hand as we did two or three
generations ago. This is done
from necessity, mostly by the
patriotic and industrious women.
The roads of France are simply
splendid. l motored with a friend
thru the French Alps near the
Italian-Swiss boarder. The roads
are wonderful products of en-
geneering skill. They are per-
fectly graded and so constructed
that you will reach a great alti-
tude with an almost impercepti.

this region is delightful.

French Capital, and took advan-
tage of seeing many things of
interest there, especially inter-
esting to one on his first visit to
Paris. will not take the time
to tell of these. What history of
these countries one knows will
addtremendously to your interest
in what you see.
OF course l cannot tell you
much about the war,-the thing
that the people in United States,
as well as everywhere else, are
most interested in. could not
give you an adequate Idea of
what would like if l were allow
