Two days ago it was officially given
out in Washington that the number OF
American troops in France was more
than 100000. 1t is safe to say that the
total is well toward million now, at the
rate the men have been disembarking on
the French shore. Thus the transporta-
ton of troops gets ahead of the program
by several months, as it was not prom
Used there would be a million troops in
France before the fall of 1918. Even
Americans, who are accustomed to seeing
things done on a large scale, will marvel
at the celebrity of the troop movement
during the last few weeks. Even the
most captious critics of the government
could scarcely find fault with the degree
of speed maintained in this department
of war activity.

ITALIANS HAVE
DO-OR.DIE SPIRIT
They Have Been Giving the Austrians No
Rest All Along the Piave
River Line.

Italian Headquarters, Sunday, June %
(by Associated Press Cruelty harassed
by steady and accurate fire, compelled TO
face bayonet attacks by the Italians and
being constantly bombed by allied avia-
tors, flying low in defiance of machine
/ gun and anti-aircraft fire, the Austrians
have been fighting recently with the cour
age of despair. The counter attacks have
been launched without regard for losses
against the allied trenches ON the Mon
| tello plateau, but have been everywhere
broken by the granite resistance inter
posed to the foes progress.
The crest of the Piave river flood passed
yesterday. but the falling waters came
too late TO relieve the positions of the
Austrians. The inundation was Is feet
above the low-water mark
Along the lower Piave, Italian press
ure has been constant. The tired enemy
has been given no rest, although the
fighting has been intermittent, owing to
the fact that neither side was able to see
more than so yards through the heavy
bushes and tall swamp grasses growing
in the lOwlands.
The heroic deeds of the Italians in the
fighting upon the Carso plateau, east of
the Isonzo, are recalled by the repeated
examples of valor and endurance shown
in the present struggle. With the Italian |
armies along the front there is only a |
stern intention to do or die. There is no |
effervescent Boosting, no victory chants, |
but realization that harder fighting
may yet come.
'The word 'Piave' is being written in
blood red letters on Austrian hearts,
said dust-covered, sweat-stained Italian
officer who had been fighting every day
for week, with scarcely any rest save
for Friday and Saturdays lull in the
mighty contests for the banks of the
river.
: 1--WE are saving the shouting until Aus
tria's plumber expedition is defeated" !
said 70-year old Deputy Banchette, who
is spending his time as an Alpini officer
tramping to and fro among the soldiers,
telling them victory is the one way to Sc
cure peace. Behind the lines the civil
is undisturbed. The cities are
calm, Venice appearing like a sleeping
beauty. The American colony there has
been reduced to a handful, consisting of
the American consul, and the Red Cross
and Y. NJ. C. A. workers. On the main
and, however, Americans are becoming
more plentiful, due to the influx of Red
1ross helpers and officers of the Ameri
an military mission. The third hospital
lnits of the American army, under com
nand of Colonel Ebert L. Persons have
.rrived. The American aviators, in their
aunty uniforms with the golden flying
agile, attract friendly attention.

With his usual directness, General Per
shing nailed the lie, which was to the
effect that American negro soldiers were
being made to bear the brunt of the
fighting on the American front in France.
The use of few figures from official
sources was sufficient to show up this
effort to spread German propaganda
among the negro population of the Unit
ed States No doubt it was intended to
arouse the negroes so that they would
resist conscription hereafter. 1t failed
miserably because it was founded on a
tissue of lies The official figures show
that the white Americans have suffered
very heavily while the negroes have had
comparatively few casualties.

she's longing for a sight of the coun-

He had picked up his mail and be-

my dear daughter Nellie: We are

John Willis, replacing the letter that
had been carelessly opened by the Of

His heart suddenly smote him. Mel
lie never murmured at the exactiOns
of business. Faithfully she accom-
panied him to social functions, and all
the time a conception of their hollow
/ superficiality had ended in a dream of
the dear old life, where true hearts
and quiet, humble pleasures seemed to
beckon longingly.
"Tm going to take run down to

evening. "The tenant has left and l

He returned two days later. "Saw
your folks, dear" he said and Nellies
famished soul greeted the tender word
like cooling draught to thirsting
spirit. Look here, Tuesday is Christ
mas eve. Those snowclad hills at
home have made me hungry for q

sar old-fashioned frolic." And there
awoke in Nellie the most extravagant
soul of hope.
