SUFFERING.
GIVEN AID

The paymaster department OF
the army has been slow to pay
the allotments of soldiers to their
families and as result there has
been much suffering among the
relatives of the soldiers at Camp
Lewis.
To end this condition, Brig.
Gen. Frederick s. Foltz, In tenn
porary command, has authorized
the issuance of printed slips which
when properly filled out by the
soldier and signed and counter
signed by his officers will show
that he has allotted part of his
pay to some person outside the
army. This slip will be sent to the
dependent and may be used as a
basis for credit at the stores
where the dependent buys.
Many of the wives OF soldiers
have found 1t difficult to get
credit.

(Delayed)--Gen. Pershing visited
the first line trenches today, as
part of general inspection of the
American forces holding this Sec
tor.
He found the men in excellent
condition and spirits.
Their patrol work, he ascer-
tanned, is becoming rapidly more
effective, while the men in the
rear are anxious to take their
turn in the trenches.
Pershing picked his way thru
the wet, soggy trenches and
emerged with the same spotless-
ness that made him the wonder
of his men in Mexico, where 1t
was said he could go into dusti
est places without seeming to get
dusty.

HOW FRANCE
WAS SAVED

"When l speak of French hero
ism, it is not that l boast of my
|countrymen, but that | speak OF a
fact, world recognized"
Prof. Cestare of Bordeaux uni
yersity Sunday night told OF
French bravery, born of French
idealism," at the Public Forum
lin the First Congregational
church. He is in the U. S. as an
exchange professor at Harvard
university.
Telling Of the part played by the
French and English in saving the
world, he said: 1.-THE Fernch,
and | don't forget her ally, Eng
land, have held back the greatest
army of the ages. At the battle
of Ypres we sacrificed 100000 of
our youth, but at the battle OF
Verdun the loss was 100000. The
battle of Verdun was the culmi-
mating point in the onrush of the
Hun, and here, thanks to your
guns and artillery, we resisted
100000 men.
President Wilson's insistance
on the application of international
law saved France. Because he in
sisted on the right of neutral ma
lions to continue commerce, the
U. S. supplied us with steel.
"The women of France deserve
place beside the soldiers OF
France. Their sacrifice has been
supreme and accomplishing.
Atrocities committed against them
10y the Germans are true. Those
you have heard are not exagger-
ated and many you will never
know because, while they are
limited at, no decent person will
ever speak them"

And there'll be little less alco-
hol in what beer there Is. This
today appeared to be the prospect
for the period of the war as the
food administration prepared reg

Every available bushel of bar

ed drinks.

where such privileges net thousands
of dollars annually 1t is pointed out
that the continual seeking of tips
and charges in such places is an
noying, but that no one would feel
that way about a Red Cross repre-
sentative and would be more than
apt to give generously. Whether the
suggestion will be followed up is not

here are said to be strongly in favor

activities at the front and publish it

"As the construction of this camp
approaches completion, review of
what has been accomplished in that
connection cannot fail to impress one
with the great achievement of the
men who have made this camp. it
stands today as one of the best and
most complete, if not the finest,
American post in France, and when
one realizes that its construction has
been accomplished solely by officers
and men of the Air Service of this
post, in the face of huge obstacles,
then one appreciates the fact that
the Air Service, as represented at
this camp, is thoroughly efficient
and capable organization,
1t was Aug. 10, 1917, that the 10Th
Aero Squadron started the construc-
ton OF this center. The officers were
at once faced with the lack of skilled
workmen, but the spirit which finally
/ overcame all obstacles and achieved
the construction of the camp was the
factor that carried these men through
the ordeals of material shortage, in
clement weather and, in short, lack
of practically everything to which ar
American builder has been accust-

under the charge Of sergeants chosen
from the aero squadron and in ar
amazingly short time barracks, hang

were erected. This work continued
until November 1st under the super
vision of but two officers, Captain
Huntington and Lieut.. Frank, anc

time and efforts to securing the sur
rounding country in search of the
sorely needed lumber to carry on the
construction.

camp was designed at this post
