To British soldiers almost un.
countable millions of cigarettes and
hundreds of tons of pipe tobacco
have been sent, duty free. But de.
spite these enormous shipments, the
consumption to tobacco in the Brit
ish Isles has steadily increased. The
cost of tobacco has climbed from IL
cents to 4S cents pound for the
low grade American product, and q
light China tobacco used for blend.
ing purposes has jumped form IL
cents to So cents a pound.
Tobacco is Necessity
Anxiety and nervous strain insep-
arabic from great war are held re-
sponsible for the increase in smok-
ing at home. Testimony from the
front is that without generous sup
plies of tobacco the men could not
Withstand the strain of continuous
conflict.
England's chief source Of supply is
the United States, and the fear is en-

wars possible interference with pro-
duction there and on increased home
demand, the amount avilable for
this country may be materially les
sened. Bonded stocks here are even
now dangerously depleted owing to
decreased imports.
France and Italy, with less extern

efforts to meet the tobacco needs of

Germany.

YANKEE OFFICER
GOES SCOUTING
Kills a German Sentry
and Shoots Two in
Hun Outpost; Com
panion is Wounded.

WITH THE AMERICAN ARMY
ON THE VESLE+While the French
and American and German heavy
guns have been barking at each other
across the Vesle, American patrols
have been particularly busy endeav-
oring to keep informed of the enemy
infantry movement and to ascertain
generally what the enemy is accom-
plishing.
A few days ago an infantry captain
while accommodating, killed at least
two Germans and in order to escape,
hid in shell hole for thirteen hours
while the midsummer sun beat down
upon him. Here is the captains Of
fetal report of his experience:
The patrol, consisting of myself
and two corporals, started at 8
O'Clock in the morning to ascertain
whether the Germans had retired.
We encountered a German post in
a semi-circular hole. There were
eleven Of the enemy there, ten of
whom were asleep and the other was
on sentry duty.
Companion is Wounded
II shot the sentry. We then with
drew and in doing so ran into an
other post similar to the first, also
containing about ten Germans. We
shot two of them, and then went
back toward our line. The Germans
began firing. wounding one corporal
in the leg, but both corporals reached
the American line.
i was behind, having stopped to
fire on the Germans. l reached
point about sixty yards from them,
when the firing got too hot, SO
dropped into small hollow, pretend
ing to be wounded. / stayed there
for thirteen hours. After dark /
crawled back to our own lines.
During my return trip to our
lines discovered a third German
post which was occupied, APPARENTLY,
only late at night. All these posts
were well supplied with light ma
chine guns, rifles and hand grenades,
and the Germans used them well.
One Of Searching Party Wounded
"At noon, while / was hidden in
he hollow, lieutenant took a party
If five to search for me. They did
lot find me, but crept up to the sec
md German post and threw some
,ombs into it, infiicting several cas-
Ialties. / heard German scream
With pain. The Germans also threw
,ombs, wounding one of the lieuten-
lnt's party.
II request that our artillery clean
tut these posts.
The artillery carried out the work !
he first thing the next morning.

the reasons which he gave for max.
ing his announcement against Mr.
Slayden make the whole motive OF
his action. 1t Is ridiculous to say that
Mr.. Slayden has shown any lack OF
loyalty to the country since 1t entered
the war. Nor could it be shown that
Mr.. Slayden has played the part of
an obstructionist. About the only
charge that could be brought against
him is that he was more reluctant
than many of us thought wise to
have the country enter the war. But
If this were sin of such damning
kind as renders him ineligible to sit
in congress, there are others in Texas
who have offended much more flag
rantly than he, and against these the
president has not spoken a word. 1t
was not principle of action the
president was following, else others
would have fallen under the same
condemnation. There were particu-
lar and personal reasons prompting
him to destroy the political life of
Mr.. Slayden. Inc fact that one Of
Mr.. Slayden's rivals happens to be
a kinsman of the presidents post
master general will not tend to make
public opinion lenient in judging the
presidents act.
1t is to be regretted that Mr.. Stay
den surrendered to the opposition of
the president. 4Ae may have been
defeated il he had remained in the
contest; the fact that he retired in
dicates that he himself thought that
his chance of success had been de-
stroyed. But by remaining in the
contest he would have given men
who feel that his faults, whatever
their grievousness, may be more
safely tolerated than the presump-
ton of the president an opportunity
to express their conviction. The
News is quite sure that the predilec-
lions and faults of Mr.. Slayden,
whatever they are, are not more
to the public welfare than
Is the idea that the president may
use the power of his office
and his own personal prestige to pro-
scribe member of congress who has
incurred his displeasure or the dis
pleasure of one of his cabinet Of
ficers. If only men who enjoy the
presidents favor are eligible to 0c-
cupy seats in congress, then congress
is something of superauous institu-
ton.

THE PRESIDENTS
UNFORTUNATE BLUNDER

Editorial from Dallas, Texas,
News, Democratic, July 20, 1879
Nothing the president has done or
is likely to do can be SO embarrassing
to his friends in texas as is his action
in having put Mr.. Slayden under the
fatal ban of the prestage Of his office
and Of his own merited popularity.
The News feels no concern in the po-
litical fortunes Of Mr.. Slayden. But
it does feel deep concern in the
fame of the president and in the
principles of the government Of
which he is the head, and both Of
these have been made to suffer by
his action.
The president can hardly suppose
the people Of Texas will believe that

SOLDIERS LETTERS

Camp Mills, N. Y, Aug. IA, 1918.
Dear Friend:
received your letter last night.
You just keep the fire burning in
that fireplace and some nice cool day
I'll return hungry for rest and books.
And what relief to be rid of this
great mob of fellows and be an in
dividual once again.
Well, with much confusion and
gnashing Of teeth we are slowly get
ting equipped. l got my last arti-
cles tonight, some army sox and a
tooth brush. We only have what
luggage goes on our backs and a
heavy pack it is, with one blanket,
one pair field sox, toilet articles,
towels, mess outfit, two days ration,
slicker, overcOat, belt, canteen and
extras. There are not enough pis-
tolls or we'd have them. It was
amusing to hear the cussing when we
were given the rations, which it is
a court martial offense to get rid of
except in emergency. There is
heavy two pound can OF bully beef,
four packages of bareback and a tin
of coffee, sugar and salt. Some
swore they'd ditch the stuff. 1t
makes an unwieldy pack.
"Now what in Is the use of
this great big can of horse? Why
it's enough to last me two weeks!"
II can't get this hard tack
in"
"By - don't know why
we have to carry all this -
junk"
Well, we finally got the stuff in
our packs by taking out everything
else we had in, and filing overcoat,
coat and slicker pockets with stuff.
We lie about day times on our
beds ready for the 101 calls for for
nations at which we get information
