SeanOrf

LONDON, March 15.-Nine sailors

haven, which struck a mine at 1885

and was built in Rotterdam in 1916.
She was taken over by the United
States Shipping Board after the United
States entered the war. She left Balti-
more on February 1s.
The sinking Of the Yselhaven prob
ably occurred in the North Sea, as Har-
tlepool, where the survivors were
taken, is port on the eastern coast

27th to Substitute
Vaudeville for Comedy

In accordance with a decision of
Major General John F. O'Ryan, COM
mander of the 9th Division, the the
atrical troupe of that unit has aban-
doned its advertised musical comedy
and will substitute vaudeville show.
The new musical comedy, Lets Beat
It," will not be produced-at least not
by the present organization. The
comedy that was written while the the
atrical talent of the division actually
was under fire is being laid aside re-
luctantly because of the belief of the
commander of the 9th that relatives
of the soldiers would prefer to see the
vaudeville sketches thar were seen by
the men cover there"
Consequently, the wartime vaude-
vile acts will be reproduced as faith
fully as possible, costumes, music and
military atmosphere. The date and
place of the production has not yet
been decided.

ever been accomplished or even
claimed.
Jerry turned on us at St. Souplet,"
SAID Corporal Romero, "and we pre-
pared concerted attack to 0islodgc
him. On October IA the attack was
made. 1t was decided to carry wire

communications.

Praise Australian Fighters
The Australians are the most fear
less, devil-may-care fighters in the
world, barring, of course, the Ameri-
cans. This is the unanimous verdict of
the men of the 9th Division.
"They fight as though they are on
some. kind of hilarious outing" said
Supply Sergeant Wheeler, of L Com
pany, to-day.
"While looping forward toward St.
Souplet," he said, "the "Aussies' passed
through a small town near Escofert.
The 'Aussies' found stock of old-fash-
loned silk hats and cutaway coats. They
shined the hats and put them on in
stead of their helmets, while the cut
away coats covered the upper part of
their uniforms. 1t was the funniest
spectacle in history to see these big
Australians chasing Jerry, their coat
tails flying and their hats on the back
Of their heads"
cover the top" according to the
men of the 9th Division, is an
expression used by authors for
titles of books and by after dinner
speakers for dramatic effect. 1t de-
scribes nothing which the men actu-
ally do, they agree. Sergeant A. l..
Burgess, Of Headquarters Company,
107th Regiment, gives this why and
wherefore:
'"The doughboy climbs over the top
very slowly and deliberately. On the
night before the attack a detail of
men lay white tape in front of the
trenches. If the men jumped over
the top and advanced Immediately, the
lines would be irregular, as the
trenches do not run in a straight
line: They zigzag, SO that single
shell could not wipe out too great
number of men.
"The men always walk forward.
They have certain distance to go
in a certain length of time. On Sep
tember 20 it was 100 yards in three
minutes. This is to prevent the men
from running into their own barrage.
The starry banner is not borne aloft
by stalwart trooper, orators and
authors Notwithstanding. The regi-
mental flag of the 1o7th Infantry was
kept in waterproof casing during
the entire active career Of the outfit.h

Like American Girls Best

Young ladies of New York interest
ed in the young men of the 9th Divi
sion might be interested to know the
value OF their charms in the eyes of
these fighters when compared with the
charms of the fairest maids of Fran ce
This information could be impaired
by the announcement that one man of
the 1000 of the 54th Brigade of the
division participated in an interna-
tlonal marriage.
Sergeant Arnold C. Cuthbert saws:
There is no girl in France who can
be compared with any girl in the
United States Some have good clothes
and good looks, but there is some
thing lacking"
Private Andrew Mochan, Company
l., 1O8th Infantry, says: 81 think that
one of the main reasons why French
men marry French girls is because
they have never seen American girls"
In all the A. E. F. there was only

Why NOT PUSH
YOURSELF ALONG

Some people sit through life wait
ing for othersto push them along.
If they are showed aside in the
scramble they are peeved. Their tai
ents have not been properly recog-
nized.
If they are forgotten in the hurly-
burly they become a crouch. The
world is topsy-turvy.
And so they drift along from one
year to another, peeving growing
grouching through life to the doleful
tune of their own shiftless incompe-
tency.
It's mistake-the wrong perspec-
tive of existence.
Life is too short to worry about the
fellow who lags behind.
The man who won't push must ex-
pect to be showed.
Pushing is a great game. It gets
you somewhere. The harder you push
the farther you go, and if you push
hard enough and often enough and
long enough you can reasonably ex-
pect to push yourself to the top.
Keep pushing, young man.
Push with will and a purpose and
with definite goal in view. Set your
aims SO high that it makes you dir
zy even to dream of them-and re-
member that only pushing will get you
there.
You may not reach the pinnacle of
your desires, but you will climb to
heights which will stamp you a man
of men.
The pusher is man of parts.
The laggard is but part of man.

KENOSHA CLAIMS FIRST
PRINTING OFFICE

Madison, Wis, Nov. 10-According to
newspaper files in the State Historical
Library controversy had arisen before
the state was five years old as to who
was entitled to the credit of being the
oldest Wisconsin editor. From the
Kenosha Telegraph of 1852 the follow
ing interesting newspaper history of
the period is derived:
John Delaney of the Fort Winnie
bago Times claims to be the oldest ed
ltor of Wisconsin now connected with
any paper IN the state. He says: we
were the first apprentice in the first
printing office in the state. We gradu-
ated from the office of the Green Bay
lntelligencer and Wisconsin Democrat
in 1885, About the time John claims
to have graduated (Which we think he
puts year or two too early we (the
first named of this FIRM was sticking
type and doing occasionally a little ed
ltorlal for the same paper. SO John, we
think, will be compelled to yield his
claims. But aside from that, without
doubt, the editors of this sheet are the
oldest editors of Wisconsin, now con-
nected with the press, for in 1910 they
established and edited this paper. At
that time there were not more than
four other papers printed in the state
The Milwaukee Sentinel by Harrison
Reed; the Milwaukee Advertiser by D.
ii. Richards; the Wisconsin ENQUIRER
at Madison; by J. A. Noonan, and we
think one at Mineral Point by --
Holbrook."
On December 20, 1852 the Milwau-
kee Sentinel contained the following
item in this connection: "Still anoth-
er competitor has arisen for the hon
orable post of senior editor in Wis
consin. The editor of the Platteville
Grant County, American says: Be
fore the Herald was thought of we
were one of the publishers of the Wis
consin Wing in this town. Our con-
nectlon with the Wisconsin press COM
menced in the fall of 1841, and to
prove it we can show accounts on our
books which have remained unsettled
until this time-and we expect always
will remain in the same unsettled
state"

pom, and this they employ to the lin
! it of their possibilities in their cam
paign of brutality and intimidation.
They are shrewd enough, however
to see that the responsibility for their
devilishness is laid at the door of or
gained labor, and by this means es-
cape the individual punishment which
is their just DUE
The American people have been
bully ragged by these aliens until pa
thence is no longer a virtue.
The time is at hand for the govern
ment, the law abiding elements of or
gained labor and the public to kick
these malcontents out of the country
or place them where they can nc long
er agitate and destroy.
The poisonous snake is a source of
constant danger and is promptly
crushed.
The alien parasite who is sucking
the blood of honest labor and preach
ing sedition among our citizens is a
national peril and should be extermin-
ated.

THE REAL MENACE

1t is not organized labor which
threatens the future of this country.
Neither is it insatiate greed of CAPT.
talism.
Without organization labor would
be underpaid and underfed.
Without the capitalist there would
be no adequate avenues for the en-
plOyment of labor.
Both must survive.
But the menace with which we must
cope is the alien parasite who has
fastened himself on organized labor
and is daily eating out the heart of
the great American republic.
These radicals from other lands are
IN a majority of cases not even citi
zens of our country. They are not
loyal to our institutions nor to the true
interests of the organizations to which
they have attached themselves.
They are alien agitators and DESTROY
ers-nothlng more. They preach their
pernlcious doctrines and prey upon the
susceptibilities of others with the sole
idea IN view of creating discord and
disruption for their own individual
advantage. They would displace the
intelligent leadership of labor or
CARNATIONS and usurp the seat of au-
thority for themselves. And they are
succeeding in these nefarious under
takings to an alarmingly wonderful
degree.
Violence is their only effective wea-
