SEE SALVATIONIST
AS INDUSTRIAL AID

1t is generally recognized that the
greatest force against Industrial I'M
rest and Bolshevism in this country is
content and plenty in the homes of
those who are usually the victims of
want. Poverty and distress are the
forerunners of anarchy and disorder.
For these reasons it is recognized that
the daily work of the Salvation Army
in any great city in North America
today is probably the most effective
antidote that can be administered to
the disease which has already COM
menced to faint the great body which
upholds the industries of America.
The rules and regulations of the
Salvation Army are interesting when
viewed from this standpoint. Ac-
cording to the regulations laid down
for him, the Corps Officer in the
Salvation Army must spend at least
eighteen hours every week visiting
the community in which his Corps is
located. Il is his business to seek out
the poor, the bereaved, and the un-
fortunate and n who especially
need help or guidance. To many
such homes, the visit of the Salvation
Army worker means new life and at
any time, by day or night, he holds
himself in readiness to stretch out a
helping hand. The entire Corps also
visit hospitals, jails, work houses, and
all institutions in its community
where there may be human suffering
and despair.
At the Christmas season, bountiful
baskets of food are given out to
needy families; in the hot months
poor mothers and children are taken
to some spot where fresh air and the
beauties of nature, combined with
good food, give them a new and more
hopeful view of life.
In brief, the work of the Salvation
Army is to help the man or woman
who is down, whether he is down on
luck" or down in sin. With the
Salvationist is the belief that there is
hope and happiness and another
chance for all.

TENNESSEE CALLED UPON
TO SHOW HER INTEREST
IN HER MANHOOD

The Y. NJ. C. A. organization of
Tennessee is arranging for a great
Statewide campaign October 20-30,
to carry out a great program for
making better men and for saving
the boys.
President Wilson says that the
character of any community can be
measured by its interest in the 7. M.
C. A.. Ex-President Taft says that
the country has no institution that
means more to progress in all good
things than the Y. NJ. C. A. Gen.
Pershing says that no agency con-
tributed more to the support of the
Army than the Y. M. C. A.
Tennessee is now arranging for a
permanent service to reach the entire
State. 1t will begin with the boys
and go on until it serves all cOndi-
tions of men. 1t will enter every
High School and College. 1t will al
so enter every factory, mine and rail-
road center. 1t will strive to make
country life more attractive and help
to keep boys down on the farm con-
tented and satisfied, even if they have
seen gay Paree.
One of the greatest features of this
Campaign will be the advanced work
for boys. This contemplates assist
arrce in the making of life work
decisions and in the working out of
those decisions when once made. To
aid in this great undertaking, the
State Committee has arranged to
purchase and equip three large
camps, one in each section of the
State, for the boys. These camps
will be great rallying places for the
boys of the State during the Summer,
and will do much towards solving the
vacation problem.
This Campaign has the indorse-
ment and hearty support of the lead
ing men of the State-such as: Gov.
Roberts, Ex-Governors Frazier, Pat
t~erson, Hooper and Rye, and the
Judges of the highest courts, business
men like Leslie M. Stratton, John F.

YANKEE DEAD WILL REST
IN FIELDS OF FLANDERS
MANY CAN'T BE MOVED

Paris, Sept. 30.-Mahy of the bod.
les of our soldier dead in France can
never be returned to rest in their ma.
tive soil. 1t is even doubtful if rela.
tives and friends of hundreds of those
who made the supreme sacrifice oveI
there would want their remains dis
turbed if they knew the circumstan-
ces under which they were buried.
1t is a delicate subject that the
army authorities have only limited at
in their desire to save bereaved
mothers and others unnecessary pain.
To put it as gently as possible, many
bodies were buried in such haste dur
ing the hottest fighting that they are
in no condition to be movad.
Fortunately our army suffered less
in this respect than did the forces of
any other nation, not only because
we were engaged in heavy fighting
for only a comparatively brief period,
but because we were constantly adj
vancing while suffering heavy losses.
In Flanders, where the British
fought in boys and the battles ragged
~fiercely with first one side and then
the other advancing, thousands of
dead lay between the opposing lines,
where it was impossible to reach them
and give them proper burial for
weeks, even months. In the Cham
payne and on the Verdun front,
where hundreds of thousands OF
Frances poilus gave their lives, the
same situation prevailed. But in the
heavy fighting at Chateau hierry
and to a lesser extent in the Argonne
the Americans were pushing steadily
ahead and a very large percentage of
our dead were quickly reached and
given proper burial.
There we're times, however, when
bodies had to be quickly disposed of
in order that the health of the army
might not suffer. Frequently collins
were not at hand: they could not be
brought up under enemy fire without
endangering the lives of many more
Americans, nor could the corpses be
taken to the rear for the same reason.
Little burial parties gathered quickly
in the darkness, often with German
shells screaming overhead, a Chaplain
read a brief service and the dead
were laid away as e%xpedtiously as
possible, the spots being marked by
the wooden crosses to the grave regis
tration service.
In the garden of one villa in the
city of Chateau-Thierry the bodies of
six Americans lie in the shade of a
r~ose-covered wall. They were killed
in sharp fighting in the outskirts of
the city. Their remains were recov-
cred when the Germans evacuated
the town and were laid away in their
blankets a few hours later. One
came from Atlanta, one from Mil
waukee and the identifying crosses on
the others showed they were farmer
boys from counties in Ohio and Hi
nois. In many instances of this kind
the tide of battle swept swiftly by,
the bodies were taken from the earth
and placed in collins and later re-
moved to the American military
cemeteries now dotting the fields of
France. How many could not be
it is hard to estimate.

American military cemeteries French

American graves in case the bodies
not returned to the United States.

LESSONS IN PHOTOGRAPHY
Lesson VII.

Kodak class come forward. Be
seated. Did you all get your Kodak
and a roll of films as instructed?
Now, Willie Green bought a good
make of BOX" camera and a good
roll of films, but the person who load
ed the camera, put them in backward,
which happens often, Johnnie Smith
got a good camera but didn't know
how to load it. Jimmie Jones also
got a good camera and a roll of films,
but the films are nearly two years
old and worthless. Maud Mason got
hers at a cheaper price, and saved rs
cents on films, as it was already load
ed with a film of inferior make and
as old as Methusalem, so you had bet
ter take them back and get n that
will make a picture. Mamie Nelson,
you have a very pretty camera and
of a popular make, but it is like the
films of the same make, not very re-
liable. Willie Wise, where did you
get your outfit? Well, you are the
only one in the class that paid the
least attention to the last lesson, on
cameras. You bought the best brand
of Gamers and got good fresh films
and the camera is loaded right, and
You are ready to Shoot.
Now pay strict attention. In buy
ing any make of films, anywhere, be
sure and examine the box the film is
enclosed in, as the date is plainly
stamped on it as to when the film will
be no good, and reads; Develope
before-----19----, Which means
that the film will be no good after
that date.
There are several kinds of films of
each make. some for one purpose and
some for other purposes. The Auto
graphic" fins are to be used in the
Autographs Cameras, and are only
intended to write a record of the
picture on the film, and not meant to
print it on-the picure, as many hink.
A"+oor"nh IS to keen a record on
the film, to make it easy to find it
"oen t4ed away. You can use any
other film in an Autographs camera,
and can use Autographs films in any
other make of camera.
We all go Kodaking next week.
Watch for it.
