IS SURPRISED
 THAT TANKS
 DO NOT BRAC

One lrishman writes from Kansas press his surprise because Americans are not boasting over the achieve mcnts of the American soldiers in the war.
 Before the Americans began to do any fighting he was much impressed by evidences of great enthusiasm for the war and little realization of the sacrifices involved
 "I wondered what would happen when the Americans had their first big affair" he writes. 'I anticipated which would probably exaggerate the accomplishments of the American sol diers.
 The German drive started. and the reports came in of the way the boys had held the line and stood firm. and in fact had done all that their home seemed to be an OminOus calm when the news arrived. I began to look for the uproar for the enthusiasm which my previous experience had led me to expect.
 Now comes the enigma. The calm continued. One man said We're get ting lot of credit l wonder if it's truc?' Women whom l had heard again and again making remarks to the effect that the boys would show them how to fight were absolutely subdued. Not a single bOastful cx. pression hay" l heard. On all sides people are wearing quiet smile The external enthusiasm seems to have vanished right into their hearts. and today tn" United States k realizing with quiet pride the seriousness and tremendous possibilities of the cause it has undertaken
 "Whrn read in dispatches from England of the impression the Amer jeans were making hy their modc,ty and their quiet way of accomplishing things. 1 Was inclined to be- shepti,tl
 am no longer ahrptigal The past few weeks of the war seem to have changed cNcrythuE and now know more ol the United States as a natgn than could have learned had lived hrra for thirty years in pcac" tim.

American Planes Are Assembled in
 an Irish Village

AN IRISH PORT. Oct. l2.-The nav al aviation station at one of the de stroyer bases in Ireland is locally known both as "Timbert town" and "Tin-town." It is located on the site of some old British barracks The British had used metal sheets in con struCting their buildings and the Amer jeans, who disliked metal structures the American wooden buildings began to appear the Britishers retaliated by calling 1t "Timber-town" and both of these names hay" Clung and become known to the extent of superCedng the name of the village near which the plant is located. The town" is in Ireland now fhat the increased ocean tonnage is making possible a regular shipment of airplanes. Here the machines are being assembled
 Considerable work was necessary to lay out the station, A part of hill that slopes down to the water had to be cut away to make room for some of the great hangars and everything excepting d power plant had to be con structed or installed. A power plant that had been used by the British is now doing duty. Virtually all the ma terial had to be brought from the United States and the officers had to contend with labor insufficient in quan- tity and quality.

MEN DO QUEER
 STUNTS WHEN
 BEING SPELLED

SOMEWHERE IN FRANCE, Oct. 12 What does 1t feel like to be shelled or bombed?" is a question which many people at home ask of American sol diers in their letters.
 Bombing has one marked difference from shell.fire When a bomb has ex- plOded, soldier can be fairly sure that the worst is over. whereas when q shell explodes, the first shell pre- sages many successors Shells. like troubles. never come singly.
 Few soldiers try to pretend that they like smelling or even that they are indifferent to it. Many of them admit that nothing makes them more ner- vOus than desultory shell fire They may try to appear apathetc they generally light Cigarette-but it is altogether a poor performance
 The absurd part of 1t is that the slightest cover makes the soldier quite himself again. It is the instinct of the ostrich. It is almost humorous to see what shelters men wnl run to if shell comes their way Long grass even creates the illusion of safety.
 Many soldiers admit that they are at their bravest when in bed They put their heads under the blankets and feel as safe as in a deep cellar. Outside in the road they feel quite un- safe. although actually there is little to choose between the two places.

 The number of those who have gone through this endless wSr so far without any impairmcn of health is not large. and it iS safe to say that when we come to the end. there will be few indeed who can claim perfect immunity. It seems to me therefore. that il is the wrong policy for the authorities to place so many difficult ties in the way of people who need rest. relaxation and d change of air and surroundings.

 Consistent underfeeding has weak ened the system to an extraordinary extent. especially in the matter of in feCtious diseases.

We, the undersigned, wish to state

for a long time, and have always been
thoroughly satisfied with the way in
which it was conducted; we have,
very recently, upon the invitation OF
the Management, visited the Home,
collectively and individually, and have
interviewed the old people residing
there; and find, according to the
voluntary testimony Of the old people
themselves, that they are happy and
contented, so far az it is possible for
people of their age, inlrmities and
financial condition to be, and are we'll
fed and w%ell-cared for. If any in the
Home had complaints to make
against the Home, these complaints
were of such a trivial and childish
nature as to be u~ndeserving of men.
