New Chateau Thierry Bridge a
Memorial to Yanks and Poilus
From ILLUSTRATION (Paris).

TIME Chateau Thierry bridge, de-
stroyed by war, will be replaced
in n few months by another
bridge which will, at the same time,
constitute a memorial memorial
bridge presented to us by our friends
of the United States. The idea of
this magnificent and original bridge
comes from Mrs. Dixie and Miss
Anne Morgan, president and vice.
president of the American commit
tee for the devastated regions of
France, who have already given SO
many proofs of devotion to the
Franco American, entente, and who
have already actually collected the
funds for the execution of this pro-
ject.
When the German drive was un-
loosed against the Marine on May 27,
1918, the Sd United States Division,
which had been in training in
France for only a few weeks, was
rushed to the assistance of our
troops, hard pressed at Chateau
Thierry, and, although very inferior
in numbers and equipment, slowed
up the advance of the invader. 1t
was imperative to halt the enemy,
cost what it might, and to prevent
him from crossing the Marne..
In the night of the 31st of May,
1918, the machine-gun battalion
which preceded the Sd American
Division was thrown into action
The battle lasted 70 hours. Thanks
to the vigorous Intervention of this
battalion, the enemy was driven
back and the approaches to the
Chateau Thierry bridge, which the
American engineers had blown up
when the French and Americans
met on the opposite bank, could be
cleared.
Between May 81 and July IA,
1918, the Sd Division, in uninter-
rupted fighting, added new glories
to it's young history and won the
right, to be baptized 'the Division
of the Marine"
Harrisburg telegraph. [volume] (Harrisburg, Pa.) 1879-1948, 1919-10-29

In order to commemorate the
united efforts of the Americans and
French, thanks to which the road
to Paris was barred to the Ger
mans, the new bridge, with it's build
ings-an ensemble of monuments of
glory and membrance-.will be
built over the Marine at Chateau
Thierry, facing the city hall, on the
same ground which was so valor-
ously defended by the Sd Division.
The adopted plan was drawn by
Partisan architect, Charles Let
rosne. On the south bank of the
Marne a square has been planted
which will provide access to the
bridge and give scope for it's dec
orative composition. The new build
ings in connection with the bridge
will be treated as simply as possible,
their design of n regional character.
In one of the groups will be a hotel.
At the entrance of the bridge, two
monuments, as a double memorial,
will be erected, one to the French
Army, the other to the American
Army. The faces of the monuments,
viewed from the square will bear
only the letters ''U. s. on one and
"R. T." on the other, surrounded by
laurel wreaths; on the river side
they will have figures in high re-
lief, representing French and Amer
lean soldiers.
The old bridge had three arches,
but this construction having been
recognized as an obstruction to navi-
cation, single steel span has been
decided upon.
On the north bank mosaic in
scription ("3 On Americana. La
Marine, 191S."), in rose colored
granite on the background of gray
pavement, will form a sort of carpet
at the outlet of the bridge to indi-
cate the passage of the Sd Division
toward victory.
On August 8, last, a symbolic cere-
mony took place at Chateau Thierry
in connection with the placing of the
first stone of this monumental en-
sem BILE.

USING THE NEWSPAPERS

"HE Republican committee of
Luzerne county is conducting
a most interesting campaign
through newspaper publicity. Day
after day the advertising pages of
the principal Wilkes Barre papers
are ablaze with constructive Repub-
lican argument in favor of Republi-
can candidates ard principles. This
intelligent campaign publicity is
having a tremendous effect in
arousing the Republican voters to
the importance of the campaign and
the necessity for getting on the fir
ing lines.
AS a matter of fact, the news
, papers are berg used more largely
now than at any time in the politi-
cal history of. the country to edu-
cate the people to the importance
of the issues at stake. The old-time
rally has given way to the news
paper advertising page and the in
telligent presentation of the things
which are at stake in the local
political field as well as the Nation
at large.

The Legion Is American
[From the n. Y. Times1

From the N. Y. TlmeSJ
Few features of the steel strike
have been more disquieting than the
fact that a parade of strikers at
Gary was led by a group of former
soldiers in uniform. 1t was uncom-
fortably reminiscent of the great
strike in Winnipeg last June, in
which 1000 former soldiers march,
ed in behalf of the strikers, while
the British flag was attacked and
patriotic buttons were torn off the
coats of officials.
Like the Winnipeg strike, the
steel strike was fomented among
foreign speaking aliens and by
means calculated to intiame cupidity
and class tyranny. At Winnipeg, it
is true, the agitators had especially
favorable material to work with.
In Canada a clear distinction exists
between the majority of patriots
who volunteered and the minority of
slackers who held back until they
were conscripted. The slackers were
we'll known TO the meters of rev.
olution and were early assembled.
As to American conditions Cen
eral Wood brings important evil
dence. At Gary he summoned q
number of the men in uniform and
questioned them. They said that
they had joined the parade in an
effort to restrain violence. Many or
them belonged to the unions. but
they also belonged to the American
Legion. In Omaha General Wood
had a similar experience. Mem
bers of the Legion gave a splendid
demonstration of the fact that their
service in the war had enhanced
their sense of responsibility" In
the Winnipeg strike the same truth
received a dramatic demonstration
At first the Great War veterans
Association stood neutral, restrained
by the fact that their sympathies as
to the strike were divided and by
the obvious ineXpediency of engag-
ing as a body in a cause of public
policy. But when the revolutionary
purpose of the strike became mani
fest. and was brought home to
them in the fact that the supply OF
milk for their children was cut OH
and the whole community threat
ened with starvation, they mustered
n parade of 1000 in uniform. The
known character of the paraders and
the disciplined precision of their
marching. contrasting as it did with
the appearance of the slackers, so
immersed the community that the
strike came to a speedy end.
Nothing could be more unfortu.
nate than that any organization of
soldiers should take sides in po-
utical cause or in any legitimate
and orderly economic conflict. But
as n fountain-head of disciplined
patriotism the veterans of the Great
War are an invaluable asset and
may we'll prove a decisive factor in
these troublons times. 1t was fne
thing our Canadian cousins did
when they mustered their strength
at the crisis and turned the scale
by force of their numbers and thelr
soldierlv bearing. 1t was possibly a
finer thing when members of the
American Legion marched with the
strikers, impartial as to the issue
of the strike. but pledged to the
cause of law and order.

Japanese WOmen'S Ideal

From the Cleveland Plain Dealer.
The magazine Choukouvo Gohanc
(Virtuous Woman) invited it's Jap
anese woman readers to send il

time "primping."
He should have a manly ap-
pearance.
He should not be too familiar
with other women.
He should express himself
clearly.
He should make prompt de-
cisions.
He should have high ideals.
He should never show him
self in the kitchen.
He should never criticize the
coiffure or the gowns of his wife
or any other women.
He should not bore his wife
by telling her all his pet tastes.
He should not drink too
much.
He should not be dude.
He should not be too jealous.

A Happy Reunion
[From the Kansas City Sta

From the Kansas City Star.l
There have been bits of evidence,
from time to time. that our old
friend, demand. and his side part
ner, supply, might be getting into
double harness again. In recent
years they have been a good deal
out of favor through a popular be-
lief that they were not standing up
to their job. One or the other of
them would seem to be loafing, thus
throwing the other out of step and
bringing down criticism on both.
When demand was putting in full
day and supply was knocking off
early to go fishing, those of us who
had to buy things we thought we
must have were annoyed to find
prices high. When supply was hit
ting on all cylinders and demand
fooling away the bright hours of
sunshine, those of us who had things
to sell were shocked to find prices
tumbling.
If it is true that these old and
popular favorites have made up their
differences and are going to resume
lHeiI iCdhlN YIN "Aii ~ iiNNA ~
applause. We don't know what the
trouble was between them. There
have been whispers. headshaking
and raising of the eyebrows. but if
there was scandal we. don't know
what it was. We never inquired. We
wanted to see them make it up, for
with all their faults they filed a
place in our affections no others
could occupy.
We suspect it was the war that
caused the GOODNESS between them.
Their loyalty is not to be question
ed, but they may have differed on
points of military policy. Demand
may have adhered throughout to the
policy of an overwhelming offensive
on the western front, while supply
may have gone off with that school
which advocated an invasion of Aus
tria by way of Laibach. There were
many fallings out over this question,
even among the highest military
authorities We were q Laibacher
ourselves at one time, before we
learned about the mountains that
would have to be crossed.
Anyway, whatever the trouble was,
we trust it soon will be over. We
hope supply and demand will have
charity for each others faults in flu
! ture, and, forgetting the past, live
happily together ever after.

"ObfuSticdting" the Jury

Round the library fire in the Four
Courts, Dublin, Irish barristers long
have gathered to spin yarns of THAR
profession while waiting for briefs.
One of these stories was of a novel
charge to jury given by a Gaelic
judge, which is recalled by u writer
in the Irish World, as follows:
Gentlemen of the jury" a judge
began when counsel for the defense
had concluded an eloquent and elabo-
rate address. Gentlemen of the Jury,
there are two courses, do you OBJ
serve, to be adopted by counsel. The
first is simple enough. If he has a
middling case, he endeavors to con-
vince the jury. But if he has no case
at all, if the evidence is all one way
and the guilt of the prisoner is as
plain, do you see, as the nose on his
face, and no one but a fool or a
juror could be asked to have q doubt
about it, then counsel endeavors to
obfusticate the jury, do you OBJ
serve-to obfusticate the jury! Fol-
counsel seems to think that when in
telligent men come into a jury box
they hang up their common sense
with their hats and coats on the
pegs behind them"

DICTATOR NO MORE

T1 HAT President Wilson no
longer commands the support
of his own party is pretty well
demonstrated by the refusal of both
House and Senate members to sup
port him in his veto of the prohibi-
ton enforcement bill. The large
maiorities by which this measure
was adopted over the Presidential
veto is q plain indication that the
former dictator has lost his hold
and that it is a case of everybody
for himself in Democratic circles at
Washington, with the President as
a secondary consideration even in
his former stronghold, the Senate.
Congress, in adopting the prohlol-
ton enforcement act, is simply fol-
lowing public sentiment, but Mr..
Wilson, needless of the will of the
people or recklessly intent upon play
ing politics with the prohibition issue,
has plunged ahead with the assertion
that he will bring booze back Tor
a limited period whether or not
Congress and the country so desire.
His declaration in favor of the open
saloon and hard liquor Immediately
following the adoption of the Peace
Treaty is unquestionably an effort
to bring the liquor forces to bear
on opponents of the Treaty in the
Senate believing that they will strive
to have it adopted without delay in
order that rum may. have another
inning in the United States.
This is not only ward politics in
the White House." as some one has
said. but it shows that the President
is willing to sacrifice anything or
any principle, no matter what in
jury to the public may result, in or
der to have his way with the Treaty.
1t is a new light on the Presidents
character that will not gain him any
friends among the good, thinking
people of America.

Keeping History Straight

[From the Omaha World -Herald.l
The people of Provincetown, Mass,
it appears, have been somewhat
nervous ever since plans for a ter
centennial celebration of the landing
of the Pilgrims were put under way
lest the share of that Cape Cod town
in the glory of the event would not
be duly recognized. They feel better
now, being satisfied that the people
will heed the bidding of impartial
history and give to Provincetown its
just deserts in the great day of glory
in 1920.
Provincetown has found that keep
ing history straight is not always an
easy matter. The landing of the
Pilgrims was a double event 1t was
not. exclusively a Plymouth affair,
though the main part of it was there.
Some very important things hap
pened on the sands that are now
covered by Provincetown. So Prov
incetown, as the custodian of tile
tradition, is doing n duty in keeping
successive generations reminded of
the fact that the feet of the Pill
grims pressed the shifting sands of
Cape Cod before they felt the firmer
foundation of Plymouth Rock.
The Mayfower had been storm
driven southwark from it's course.
The immortal band aboard intended
to sail up the Hudson and debark
somewhere on the lower stream.
But they welcomed the sandy hook
of Cape Cod when they saw it and
they remained there month. They
landed, but they lived for the most
part aboard the ship. But on Cape
Cod they hung out their Monday
washings, there four of their num-
ber were buried, there the first child
was born among them in the new
world, and it was while there that
the compact of government for the
colony was drawn up with much
council and many prayers in the
cabin of the Mayflower Then the
Mayhower spread sail and was car
ried across the bay to the present
site of Plymouth
ProVincetown has q tall monu-
ment to this temporary stay of the
Pilgrims, but it should be constantly
on guard to preserve the truthful
traditions. or history has it's perver-
sity. We still say Columbus discov-

GET OUT THE VOTE

A 5 COUNTY CHAIRMAN WILL
~ LIAM H. HORNER said the
other day, n big Republican vic
tory next Tuesday depends alto
gether on getting out the vote"
The Democratic party is simply
shot to pieces in Harrisburg and
Dauphin county. The organization
is making a last minute show of ac-
tivity only so that the bosses may
have some standing with the rank
and file when they come forward
next spring to dictate who shall be
national delegates to the convention
that will nominate a Democratic
candidate for President. They have
put no effort whatsoever into the
campaign. Their candidates have
been left to drift for themselves,
and they are none too we'll pleased
over this lack of attention, especial
ly as number of them got into the
race at the behest of the bosses
themselves to prevent vacancies on
the ticket.
The Republican candidates for
the most part have merely nominal
opposition. They are certain of
election But more than that is
necessary at this time. Republicans
of this city and county should pile
up majorities this year that will
leave no doubt in Democratic minds
o. Il,
More than that, they owe it to the
splendid ticket that has been
nominated to give the candidates
the support they deserve.
Get out the vote"
That is the keynote of the whole
campaign.
There is nothing else TO it.

Stick to the Party Ticket
[Wilkes-Barre Record

lWllkeS-Barre Record
Normally, Luzerne county and the
city of Wilkes-B Barre are Republican
in national and State politics. Next
year conditions will be so extraordi-
nary that there will not be much
force to the argument that national
and State politics has no connection
with county and municipal politics.
The contest will be fierce and it
will be necessary to have thorough
organization all along the line.
Republicans ought to stick to
their tickets this year that they may
fortify the local organizations for
the great task that will be before
them in 1920. Since Luzerne is the
third county in Pennsylvania in
point of population. the whole State
awaits anXiously the verdict here
next Tuesday. as a criterion by
which the trend of political opinion
may be judged.
The county ticket is worthy the
support of every Republican voter
1t stands out in honor. 1t is of
good reputation personally and 1t
promises good. honest administra-
ton. 1t should have an old-time
Republican majority.
