Bayonet, Camp Paper, Tells Soldiers
All About Big Battle-Went In
Standing Up.

The Bayonet, the publication issued
by the soldier boys at Camp Lee,
takes the following view Of the first
American drive, describing it entirely
in baseball lingo.
"The first American drive was like
going to first base. Didn't have to hit
the dirt; just went into the bag stand
ing up. The delivery was too fast for
the Huns, and there was promiscuous
use Of the bean ball. Although it was
like trying out new pitchers, they
showed promise and are backed by
eny number Of veterans to take up the
work If any wavering symptoms should
show. Only the top Of the batting or
der was used, and there will be some
slugging before the game gets much
older. From the way the batteries
are going 1t looks as If the Hun side
will be retired on strikes"

Another Prop Out
of Propaganda
By lSOBEL FIELD
Of The VigiI0nfeS

The busy enemy-alien propagsndist
is having q hard. row to hoe these
days. SO many Of his plans have
slipped up and SO many Of him are
filling the concentration camps. Uncle
Sam is very quiet about 1t, but he has
keen eye and long arm. Quite un-
expectedly, out Of the blue, the poor
spy feels heavy hand on his collar.
and his usual haunts know him no
more. In his confinement behind the
bars, or while he is harvesting the
corn for better men to eat, he hasn't
the satisfaction Of glOating over his
misdeeds. Too many Of them have
failed.
With that boasted German efficiency
of which we once heard so much the
Uropagandist tackled the American ne
gro. Here were people ready to his
hand, simple, kindly, unsuspiciOus,
with so many grievances against the
government that it would be easy to
Incite them to riot and disorder, there
by seriously hampering war work.
They trled'it. They tried it again.
They took another angle and tried It..
Gott in himmel! These people were
loyal! They might complain among
themselves, or to the powers that be,
against their wrongs and expressions,
but America was their home, and the
Stars and Stripes their flag, and God
Lelp the person who dared suggest
that they act as traitors to either!
Hun Bee Gets Busy.
Then the busy little bee began an
other fight, and worked up feeling
among the ignorant whites against the
negro. Here he was more successful,
os the riots in st. Louis proved. But
thev drew the attention Of thoughtful
, eople and it was asked: "Why, If the
negro were at fault were there more
colored men killed than whiteT II,
as propagandists were shouting, the
colored people were "pToblem" and a
"menace to civilization" how came 1t
that the troubles were invariably start
ed by white men attacking blacks? I?
The German propagandists discovered
70 their dismay that their tactics were
having the effect of drawing general
attention to the wrongs Of the negro
| and arousing interest and sympathy
for him on all sides. The mute pro-
test of the colored women and chill

BEAT HIMSELF OUT OF TITLE
Eddie Roush Of Cincinnati Loses Claim
to Batting Championship by Maxi
Ina Great Catch.

Eddie Roush Of Cincinnati, still un-
certain of his official batting average,
has just discovered that he is the
only man in baseball history who
knocked himself out Of an undisputed
claim to the batting championship by
making a great catch. Impossible, you
say? Not at all. Usually, great catches
knock the hostile batsman out Of base
bits, but Roush knocked himself out
of the leading honOrs.
He made a desperate stumbling
catch on a fly in protested st. Louis
game-and the game, in which he had
made two hits, was thrown out Of
the records, entirely because Of the
doubt whether .Roush's catch consti-
tuted a "momentarily held" play, as
he had juggled the ball before he grip
ped it. Had he muffed it cold,
he would have preserved his two hits
and the unquestioned leadership of the
league.

Laughed With Delight.

John Giltroy was not happy. He was
not jealous Of Madge's art, but he re-
gretted the slipping by Of precious
hours when she could have been at his
side. The time allotted him for court
ship was scant at best. He knew that
the return to London meant rehearsals
and fatigue that would assuredly re-
move him at least temporarily from
her horizon.
AS for Madge, she felt almost sorry
that Sir John Giltroy had appeared
upon that horizon at all. Her reason
told her that she could not be happy
as the mistress of London mansion
even though the very best people in
the land would be her friends. Her
heart, in turn, seemed determined to
make her acknowledge that neither
could she be happy amid the apple
blossoms and simplicity of the country
were not Sir John beside her. He was
so detached from her ideals Of life.
Now that she had won heavy laurel
wreath, Madge had only one desire,
and that was to retire from the foot
lights to some quiet country spot and
there steep her soul In nature even as
she had stepped her life with the arti-
ficial moods Of the stage.

gy," she had once told friend who
had been astonished at her refusal to
marry an eminent politician. Il think
am still a farmer at heart" she
laughingly added.
Perhaps it was because her char
acter for the new play was that Of a
simple country girl that Madge spent
long hours in study Of it, or it might
have been that cold reason told her
that in escaping Sir John she was
fortifying her heart against the at
tack. She knew by the look in his eyes
that he would ask her to marry him be-
fore returning to the city.
Even so, Madge found it difficult to
withstand his pleading when he poured
forth his love for her with an ardor
that only deeply affected man pos
sesses. She had not dreamed that a
reserved, easy-going Britisher could
fall SO completely and so gloriOusy IL
love. It quite took her breath away
and left her weaker than she had an
dcipated.
