STOCK OWNERS TAKE NOTICE.

The inefficient manner in which
stock dying of disease are disposed
of will bring disaster to the owners II
some action is not taken to remedy
it. Charbon is dangerously preva-
lent and horses and cattle dying Of
this disease can only be safely dis
posed Of by burning. This is not so
hard of accomplishment If the body
is raised from the ground when the
fire is built around 1t. The germs
of this disease are easily scattered
and carried by the flies when they
have access to the carcass. Many OF
the carcasses are shallowly buried
and the earth is scratched away by
dogs or washed away by rains. Buz-
yards and crows also help to spread
the germs. The only safe way Is to
burn the carcass.
am working hard to inoculate
stock and to use every preventive
means in my power. 1t Is big un-
dertaking, and l have had more work

ask all stock owners to aid me by
seeing that the burning Of dead
bodies is properly done. It il only
by every one doing his part that
great loss to stock may be prevented.

PRAISES BRAVERY
OF AMERICAN BOYS
Birthday At the Front But
No Birthday Cake
In Sight.

Mr.. and Mrs. S. E. Rayne, resi-
dents on the Military Road, have re-
ceived the following letter from their
son at the front, which is brim full
Of the sort of stuff American fighters
are made Of:
May 25, 1918.
Dear Home Folks:
Well, here's me, 25 years old to-
day, thousands Of miles away from
home, battery commander, and
prospects of moving soon-and my
birthday cake way back at home.
Yesterday was red letter day. l
was commander of the 1st T. NJ. Bat,
and had the pleasure and honor of
giving the command "Fire!" to the
gun crews OF ten trench mortars,
which forthwith blazed away for the
next fifty-fve minutes. We fired go
bombs, or more, and helped pave the
way for our infantry to go over the
top in a nice sized show in this sec
tor. Our troops were quite success
full and 1t is gratifying to see so many
Boche prisoners going by. But the
most gratifying of all is to know that
my brave lads got away with the
shoot with only one man slightly
wounded. He received a machine
gun wound in the leg. I'd like to
describe the stunt but if l couldn't
tell of everything it would be spoil
ed. / can't tell Of everything as it
would give something away. If
you'll look at the papers of today
and read Of US you'd know that when
it was hottest on the A. E. F. fronts
that's where we are. l just know
the papers are full of it. It was fine
all right.
We have two Y. M. c. A. girls eat
ing at our mess now and 1t Is sort OF
home like to be able to talk to and
to tease some sure enough Ameri-
can girls. Both are nice looking and
one is pretty-they are not kids
tho (27 and 30). .....
We are all awaiting anxiously for
the papers or the intelligence reports
for yesterday 80 as to see what the
outside world thinks Of our affair.
Hope get some mail to-day. Sup
pose my pals figure tina: I'm lost.
I'll try to drop each q line or so in
the next few days and tell them I'm
still alive.
1t is blowing up rain this after
noon and l hope 1t makes Fritz mis-
erable.
Well. nothing else, go I'll close.
Your loving son,

THE COLORED U. S. TROOPS IN
FRANCE ON SAME FOOTING
WITH OTHERS.
General Pershing Denounces Reports
To Contrary-Praised For Ell.
ficiency anu Bravery.

The Secretary of War authorizes
the publication of the following cable
from General Pershing:
I'm reference to your cablegram
Of inquiry:
''The stories, probably invented by
German agents, that colored soldiers
in France are always placed in most
dangerous positions and sacrificed to
save white soldiers, that when
wounded they are left on ground to
die without medical attention, ETC..
are absolutely false.
Casualty List Show Facts.
"The following are the losses as
reported up to June IS in our four
colored combat regiments now In
France: 369th Infantry: Died OF
wounds, 3; died Of disease, 8; wound
ed severely, 2. 370th Infantry:
Died of wounds, none; died OF dis
ease. 8; severely wounded, none.
372d Infantry: Died of wounds,
none; died of disease, 3; severely
wounded, none These figures show
conclusively that negro troops have
not thus far occupied positions as
dangerous as those occupied by white
troops, and that their physical con-
dition is excellent.
High Degree of Efficiency.
"A tour of inspection just COM
pleted among American negro troops
by officers of the training section OF
these headquarters shows compara-
lively high degree OF training ana
efficiency among these troops. Their
training is identical with that OF the
other American troops serving with
the French army, the effort being to
lead all American troops gradually
to heavy combat duty by preliminary
service in trenches in quiet sectors.
Colored troops in trenches have been
particularly fortunate. as one reg1-
ment had been there month before
any losses were suffered. This was
almost unheard of heretofore on the
western front. -
Gallantry in Battle.
"The exploits of two colored in
fantrymen some weeks ago in repell-
ing a much larger German patrol,
killing and wounding several Ger
mans and winning Croix de Guerre
by their gallantrv, has aroused a hne
spirit of emulation throughout the
colored troops, all of whom are look
ing forward to more active service.
Only regret expressed by colored
troops is that they are not given
more dangerous work to do. They
are especially amused at the most
dangerous positions and all are de-
sirous of having more active service
than has been permitted them thus
far. l can not commend too highly
the spirit shown among the colored
combat troops. who exhibit fine ca
pacity for quick training and eager
ness for the most dangerous work.

Jno. Willis, Negro, Wanted for
Shooting.

A negro named John Willis Is now
being sought by Sheriff Brewster.
He is charged with shooting several
men and one woman, above Ramsay
at an eating houes, last Monday. 1t
seems that Willis had had trouble
with one of the men at q previous
time and was hit over the head with
a bottle, which resulted in his losing
an eye. After recovering from this
he hunted his man and found him at
dinner, and opened fire with re-
volver. He not only wounded this
man, but one woman received q stray
bullet in the ankle and another man
was shot in the arm. No one was
able to give full particulars Of the
shooting. Willis was seen later but
escaped before deputies could set to
him.

and was saved by Steve Herbez, who
caught him in his arms as he fell
head first toward the ground. The
fact that Mr.. Herbez il q large, pow

under Maybe as he fell probably saw
ed his life.
The firemen did good work, having
to fight with a strong wind that
threatened to spread the flames to
the Provost residence and the resi-
dence next to the barn. Only the
barn belonging to Miss Carrie Fred
erick was burned.

Incidents both pathetic and hum
erous have occurred at the various
stations. Nothing is so strong as a
mothers love for her baby, and if
the results anticipated by som moth
ers from this registration were not
really imaginary, only condition
arising through military necessity.
backed by the authority of the Presi-
dent, could induce some of them to
bring their babies in to be register
ed. One mother wished to know if
the object was not to find out which
were the German babies" Another
thought the object was to ascertain
which mothers had babies healthy
enough to be placed in asylums, SO
that the mothers might be drafted as
Red Cross nurses. Yet they brought
their babies in, ready to do their
share in any undertaking that might
assist in the war. 1t is not stated,
however, If there were any German
b9bies. Perhaps the mothers of Ger
man babies may have thought they
were to be interned.
Much good has already been done
by registration. Some babies that
were suffering from causes that could
be remedied were sent to DR.. Gau
treaux, who treated them free and
probably saved them from years OF
suffering, and perhaps lifelong dis
ability. On the whole, however, the
babies have proven to be extraordi-
narily healthy.
