AMERICAN SOLDIERS GROW.

Their automobile trucks are on al

Then. before We had quite recor-
cred from the first pleasant surprise
they were ignting-maHing a repu-
tation in a trade where the test i:
not easy. They came up from their
villages singing, and filtered into the
trenches, moro and more of then,
each day. The papers began to talk
about their lighting, but we thought
surely they cannot be doing much

day others as keen and fresh are go

their places are being aiken in the
village by yet others. Wfat would
the Germans say if they re lily knew
all this one wonders.
They are merry and Hght-hearted,
but underneath they are taking this
business very seriously, and some OF
their talk shows it. That's the way

is morbid-nor too much as a joke
which is foolish The wise man is
he who neither overrates himself
nor undertakes danger The Ameri-
cans are wise men.
THE peasants like them; the old
French mothers mother them. They
have an instinct which gives them q
realization of the homesickness which
must sometimes come TO these men.
When years have gone by. and it is
possible to see the war in perspective.
it may be possible TO give full value
to what those women have done.

Americans go on arriving and spread

The council, which is composed Of
five Irishnen, representing. aIEspar-

districts with a quota for each, and
has arranged with the government
that in districts which fill their quotas
conscription will not be applied.

The objection of many young Irish

traditional Irish hostility to the War

agents by pointing out the special at
fractions of the Royal Air Force. This
service is not under control Of the
War Office, and it has the added ad-
vantage of having many non-fghting

LoRRAINE's IRON AND COAL.
Taken Over by a German syndic,,t'

Taken Over by a German Syndicate.
Amsterdam, Sept. 25 Correspond
ence)-The immense coal and iron
mines and smelling works owned by
Baron De Wendell II. Lorraine have
been sold to German syndicate for
the normal equivalent OF s65,000,000,
on the ground that they were chiefly
owned by French citizens. Fhe pro-
cess by which this great property
was transferred from French to Ger
man ownership is called compulsory
liquidation"
Baron De Wendell, reputed to be.
one of the richest men in Europe,
was chief owner Of the Lorraine coal
and iron fields. His possessions in
German Lorraine have long excited
the cupidity of the German capital
lists. The potential ore supply in this
field alone mas been estimated at
$1,000, 100000.
The property was divided by the
Germans in two groups. The iron
fields were sold to a steel combine for
5O.000.00O marks The smelling works
and coal mines were purchased for
21O.000.OO0 marks by a syndicate
headed by Councillor Vonraumer.
The State reserved the right Of par
ticipatiop to the extent of ffty-one
''Hr cent in the purchase Of the prop
critics. .5xsIsNM
The Frankfort Zeitung in reporting
the sale says the prices were "rea-
sopable," indicating that the Ger
man steel iron and coal magnate
made good bargains.
