Lieut. Roosevelt was last seen in

enemy airplanes about ten miles in

patrol of thirteen American machines.
They encountered seven Germans, and
were chasing them back when two of
them turned on Lieut.. Roosevelt.
Reports of the fight state that the
Germans appeared to be shooting at
the lieutenant from the rear, the three
machines being close together. Then
one Of the machines was seen tum-

which went in search of Lieut. Roose-

French Gallant Fighters.

AS the war wears wearily on another
onslaught is daily expected from the
Germans. Just where the point or
centre of the concentrated attack Will
be, whether against the British, the
Americans or the French, no one can
tell. We believe, however, the Allies
are abundantly able to repulse any
attack, it matters not what point may
be selected by the Huns along the far
flung battle line.
Two signal defeats stand out against
the Germans, the battle of the Marne
and pronged attack at Verdun, and we
believe third will be added. to the
list when the offensive. is attempted
by the Germans after many months OF
preparation. The marvel of the world
has been the victory which the French
won at the Marne, hurting back the
German forces in a most decisive man
ner. And then at Verdun, where more
than 500, 900 Germans were slaughtered,
the gallant French forces distinguished
themselves again.
The handful of Belgians did good
fighting, the British and the Canadians
have likewise repeatedly shown what
splendid material they are made of,
but to the French we pay special
tribute. Whenever they have measured
sword with their enemy they have
come out victors in spite of overwhelm-
ing odds. Our own soldier boys will
stand shoulder to shoulder with the
French in their determination to hold
at bay the demons in human form in
central Europe.

Smile and be Happy

Had you ever really thought of
the bigness Of little smile? Very
small and. meaningless it might
seem, but vet sometimes, just one
smiling face will bring cheer and
happiness to a multitude who are
finding it hard to be content with
their lot in life.
So if such little thing can help
to make this old world of ours.
(which is solemn enough already
happier, I say old Joy killer" do
try and pull grin, for what's the
use going around with face just
about one mile long. Everybody has
troubles of their own without you
lamenting yours, in fact people try
to avoid the company of a grumbler
and instead, love to be with that
person who sees something funny
in most everything.
Perhaps some of you have
had frown frozen on your coun-
tenance during the past extraordi-
narily severe winter and of course
you had a little cause to be IN this
condition for with the little heater
minus coal and the general plus
snow, it was almost impossible to
be pleasant. But now "Old Jeri-
miah," that everything has burst
forth into new life with the coming
of spring, you have absolutely no
right to go around mopine, for who
can't smile with the soft gentle
air kissing the cheek, the blossom
ing trees delighting the eye and
songs of the birdings drowning
ont all thought of cares and fears.
Surely this land of ours is utopia
anyway for in its beauty and SUM-
light we hear not the burst of can
non across the sea nor do we behold
any such suffering as is theirs
over there.
Mothers and fathers some of you
are worrying over the boys but
listen, you Just stop right now for
the boys are happy and enjoying
the marvellous adventures az all
boys naturally would enjoy. Then
be thankful that you and your sons
are living in such grand and
glorious age, (for surely we are all
fortunate who have this privilege)
and that these fair sons of yours
will make our land safe for de-
mocracy and safe for the generations
to come.
Not long ago 1 heard one of the
soldier boys telling of his adventures
in training camp. He said that
there was nothing that helped so
much as being cheerful, for when
out on lively hike with their
backs nearly breaking under the
heavy load and each step making
them more weary, at that very In
stant some old pal would give you
a real healthy smile and strike up
the little song which never failed
to make the load just little lighter
and the heart little stronger.
Pack all your troubles in your
old bag, smile, smile, smile.
while you elucifer just light
your fag, smile boys that's the style.
What's the use of worrying
never was worth while. Just pack
your troubles in your old kit bag
and smile, smile, SMILE"
If the boys can show this spirit,
let's back them up and if Sou hav'nt
anything else to be real happy
over, why he glad you havn't a
Kaiser Bill'' to boss you around
and you'll not only smile but burst
out in fl of laughter.
