ANNOUNCEMENT THAT MORE
THAN MILLION MEN ARE
IN FRANCE AROUsES
MUCH ENTHUSIASM

London, July G--The best war news
Of many a day Is that contained IN
Secretary OF War BAKERS communi.
cation to President Wilson announc
ing that over 100000 Americans
have gone to France. Every paper
gives IL leading place In today \
news. and on every side Britons are
expressing their satisfaction.
The first fact which impressed
r ons Is the size OF the American
-Apeditionary force. the second the
amazing candor of the American ex-
ecutive In publishing such detailed
figures. There is no parallel in this
war heretofore for such a candid
statement. and II is bound TO have a
profound effect on the future policy
OF the allies. The veil OF mystery
which has hitherto shrouded iinpor
tant war developments. on the ground
that they must be hidden from the
enemy. will cut a sorry figure hence
forth.
The method adopted by the presi-
dent herein serves double purpose
These figures will cause as much de-
preston in Germany following KnhIe-
mans speech as they do elalion
among the allied peoples.
The Britons have been quick TO
note how the rate OF American EN-.
barkation has been constantly grow
ing, and that over 100000 Americans
have been transported since March
81, when the Germans opened their
campaign. These figures will: get in
TO Germany. and IL there Is any
truth in the statement OF the reich i
stag member. Kopsch, 70 the effect
that Kuehlman's speech was made an
agreement with Hertling and the SUI
preme army command. the Germs
government will not interfere wi 4
their free circulation
Ludendorff has been conslste Il
trying to destroy General Foch's .
serves. but II is perfectly plain now
that the allied generalissimo has
larger force at his command than
when the offensive began. The total
- 500 non Americans, British re-
ruits and French colonials who have
Aeen landed in France since Mare,
Il far exceeds the allied losses in
the present campaign.
Possibly Lndendorff has the same
number OF divisions as at the out
set. but his reserves have been heay-
lily drawn upon. Ludendorff will
certainly hit a smashing blow soon. |
but unless the Foch forces are thrown
in huge force the Frne leader !
will have considerable army for
use in an offensive as soon as It is
trained. That is patent to
anyone who realizes how smaIl a
portion OF the American million has
'een used to date.

THE VALUE OF
CHRISTIANITY
Bishop John c. Sage of the Diocese
of SaIina, Speaks to Former
Pensioners at
St Johns,

What should the churches do to
prepare for the Homecoming of sol
diers who have been close to God on
the battlefields of Europe?
Bishop John c. Sage of the diocese
of Salina, Kansas, answered this ques-
ton in a sermon he preached at the
st. Johns Episcopal church Sunday
morning.
There is but one thing for us to
do in preparation for the soldiers re-
turn" he declared. Realize God our
selves. We must learn that the
things which were valued most before
the war began are not the greatest
after all in Gods sight. We should
remember these words, Seek We first
the kingdom of heaven and all things
shall be added unto you"
Bishop Sage was formerly rector
of ST Johns church and his visit
here yesterday partook of the nature
of homecoming. He told the con-
gregation of his new work as bishop,
describing it's various phases Later
he administered the sacrament.
At s o'clock Sunday morning he
conducted the celebration of mass
at st. Mary's the Virgin church.
