Americans Are n Marvel
Lieut. Gurley paid q tribute to the
efficiency Of the supply system under
the direction OF Gen Atterbury, Tor
merly Of the Pennsylvania railroad.
he said that the workings OF the
Americans along this line has made
the old world marvel He described
the course OF supplies from the time
they were unloaded from transports
until they reached the men on the fir
ing lines.
Fright now the men in the trenches
have their eyes on US. II 10000 men
IN FL Paso buy bonds they viii know
that so many are interested in them.
If 10000 buy, the boys VIII feel that
Just twice as many want 10 help them
do their duty" said the lieutenant

Don't Want Metz Destroyed.
Metz has been considered an IN
taxable stronghold he said in
answer to q question War is an oc-
cupatiOn in Europe, and as soon as
one fight is over. every one begins 10
prepare for the next Metz Is in a
part Of Germany that France regards
as her own. The French have not
tried 10 take 10 for two reasons; one,
that they do not want TO shoot up the
place and displease the people, an
other reason, the general staff has
figured that II would take 100000
men 10 enter the strouEEOld and have
not thought il worth so many
Without disparaging the others,
the French have the greatest general
staff on earth They have found that
IL takes, on an average, 10000 men TO
take q village. Metz. Cambria and
san Quentin are the three strategic
points along the line that remain TO
DE taken"
All share the Glory.
"Foch and Petain are az the head OF
easily the greatest strategists on
earth. Armies are safe under their
direction. They place English,
French. American, Portuguese and all
other troops all together SO that when
one gets licked all get il and when one
Gains victory all share the glory
The troops Of one nation fighting
alone often leads TO unpleasant re-
suits"
Faulty addresses cause most Of
the trouble with mail. Much OF il is
handled by soldiers who know moth
ing about the matter. Then soldiers
are constantly on the move. Some
times submarine will get lot OF
it. and often a truck load viii meet

Cooks are usually about one and
one half miles behind the trenches
and IL is planned 10 send up two hot
meals a day TO soldiers, though things
often prevent this They expect warm
food at 10 in the morning and az Q
o'clock at night. The soldiers always
have hard tack and other food with
them in the trenches. 1t is very diff
Icult TO get food to the trenches
There are two classes Of people

human beings closed Lieut. Gurley.
