Everything is so much different
over here. The buildings are all made
of stone with the houses and barns
all in the same buildings. l have
learned to speak enough French to
get by The Red Cross is surely doing
wonderful work over here.
81 have been over the top several
times without being hurt. Florence

will never know what war is until
they get where the big shells are
bursting. Believe me it doesn't take
you long to dig a hole large enough
to lie in.
They certainly raise lot of wheat
and oats over here, but no corn.

One of the heroes of the fighting in
the region Of Fishes, taken by the
Americans early in August, was Pri-
vate William James, of Kittanning.

three German machine gun nests
which had been menace to the Amer

Various systems had been tried by
the American infantrymen to rid the
country west of Fismes of the German
machine gunners whe were situated SO
that their positions commanded GER
tain streets which extended away
from them through the town. Finally,
the commanding officer asked for vol
unteers and several offered their SER

which they could shoot down the ma

was not seen by the Germas, probably
partly because they were lookin for
attacks more from the sides, where
the others had come from.
James eventually reached a point
where he could see two gunners and
he killed them both, cleaning out this
nest with two rife shots. Then James
crawled even further and in the sec
ond nest killed one German and
wounded the other, ad in the third he
wounded the only two Germans in this
nest. Four hours after having started
on his mission, James returned to
Fismes, without a scratch

General Maurice also denies the
truth Of Premier LlOyd-George's asser-
ton that there was only one white d.
vision in Mesopotamia and only three
white divisions in Egypt and Pales-
tine.
The former director of military Cd
eerations forestalls the possible charge
that he IS engaged in military conspir-
acy, and says he has not the least de-
sire to see the government in the
hands of soldiers.
my reasons for taking the very
grave step Of writing this letter" he
says, ''are that the statements referred
to are known by a large number Of
soldiers to be incorrect, and that this
knowledge is breeding such distrust of
the government as can only end In i'm
pairing the splendid morale of our
troops at time when everything pos
sible should be done to raise it.
81 have therefore decided, fully
realizing the consequences to myself,
that my duty as citizen must over

cation Of the statements l have made"

HITS BRITISH CHIEFS
GEN. MAURICE SAYS GOVERN
MENT MISLED PEOPLE,.
Deposed Director of Military Opera.
tons Charges Premier and Law
Concealed War Facts.

London, May S.-One of the sensa-
lions of the war has been developed by
the publication of a letter by Gen. F.
B. Maurice, deposed director of mill
tary operations in the war office, charg-
ing that the government has misled
the public with regard to the conduct
Of the war and the strength Of Field
Marshal Haig's forces.
As a result Of these charges, pub
lished in the morning papers, former
Premier Asquith has given notice that
he will move for the appointment Of a
committee from the house of commons
to investigate the Maurice affair, in
stead Of leaving the matter to two
judges, constituting q court Of honor,
as proposed by Andrew Bonar Law,
government spokesman in the house.
General Maurice, it is indicated from
government sources, has made himself
liable to disciplinary action by the
the press declares the charges are so
serious as to warrant a searching par
liamentary inquiry.
The letter charges Bonar Law and
Premier Lloyd-George with having
made miSStatements in the house of
commons with reference TO military
matters, and says they are the latest
in a series recently made by the gov
eminent in parliament.
General Maurice recalls that Mr..
BOnar Law, while answering questions
in the house Of commons on April %,
said the extension of the British front
in France was not dealt with by the
Versailles war council, and he asserts
that the chancellor Of the excheQuer's
statement is incorrect
Il was at Versailles" he declares,
when the question was decided by
the council, to which it had been re-
ferred."
General Maurice then traverses Pre-
mier Lloyd-George's assertion on April
8 that the British army in France was
considerably stronger on January l,
1913, than it was on January /, 1917,
adding:
That statement implies that Haig's

! On April 2, 1917, President Wilson
called together the two houses of Con.
gress in joint session and asked that
war be declared upon the government
Of the German Empire. In his address
he gave to US and the world the fight
+ ing slogan of the United States +:
THE WORLD MUST BE MADE
SAFE FOR DEMOCRACY" For to
/ the great experiment of democratic
! government, the people of the United
States is unalterably committed.
! In 1914 when the Archduke of Aus
! tria was murdered, the mobiles who
! rule the Austro-Hungarian empire de-
cided to take that occasion to square
their long-standing account with
Servia. In this decision they were
backed by Germany's rulers whose mad
plans of increased power are now so
, we'll known. The basis of the hatred
! of the Austrians for Servia was polit-
iical. The reasons for the Hungarian
hatred of Servia were partially polit-
ical, but chiefly economic.
AS far as Hungary and Servia are
concerned, this war is largely strug-
gle between a feudal land-holding au-
tocracy and democratic, farming peo-
pie. The ServianS were peasants.
Eighty per cent of them owned land,
and titled the land they owned. Hun
gary. also, is an agricultural country.
But it is, economically, feudaI state.
Only twelve per cent of the Hungarian
people own farm lands. One one-hun-
dredth of one per cent of the total
population of Hungary controls thirty
of aroh
The small group Of forty feudal
barons included in this number con-
trolls absolutely the destinies of the
100000 of the Hungarian people.
Politically, as we'll as economically,
Hungary is feudai autocracy. About
six per cent of the working classes
have the right to vote. Agricultural
laborers and apprenticed workmen are
excluded But Servia was politically
a democratic state. Every man who
paid three dollars year in direct
taxes had the franchise. The Seryian
king was peoples king who sat in
the National Assembly along with the
elected representatives of his people.
The Hungarian land barons are no
longer bothered by the competition of
the free Servian peasants.
Even more clearly than at its be
ginning the issue of the war stands
out today as a fight for democracy,
"for the rights of nations great and
small and the privilege of men every
where to choose their way of life and
obedience" The future planned for
Belgium by the German militarists,
who are more than ever in control of
Germany, is absolute proof of this.
General Won Kissing, the late Ger
man Governor of Belgium, left a mem
orandum which has been published,
since his death, in German newspapers
and re-published by our government.
! What is to be the fate of the free
Belgians? Won Kissing tells us:
"The policy of power +. must see
