from a heart sound and true but never influenced by any maudlin sen timentality; who was willing to dare to do anything regardless of the eff feet of his fortunes, if it was right and in the interest of the people; who looked into the future with a keen eye, but never blinded by impractical ble visions. And yet it will be also for the great work of the man, who took the nation which Washington made, and which Lincoln preserved, and awakened it from spiritual and moral indifference and led it forward to the heroic action and sacrifice that won the great war"

 A centenarian, former Prussian soldier, now residing in the United States, his age-enfeebled mind brood ing over the Great Wrong, addressed a letter to its perpetrator, long since dead, whose name by universal con- sent had not been uttered since the conclusion of the peace of 1920,
 in due course the letter found it's way into one of the aerial mail cars of the Overhead Limited.
 There, in sorting the mail, a clerk, aged P, came across it.
 A puzzled frown was evident on his countenance as he read the super scription:
 WILLIAM, R. I.
 Funny, 1 never heard of that place before," he commented, and tossed the letter in with the rest of the Rhode Island mail.

and were about to carry out minor
operation near Chatillions- sur
Marine when Marshal Foch, learn
ing of the German plan against Cha
Ions, again availed himsel of Gen.
eral Pershing's offer, and looked
about for one high spirited, hard
fighting American division. By the
first of July the Rainbow, a FIVE
months-old American war-baby, was
a part-the only American part-of
Gouraud's plan Of defense. By the
10th it and all the French divisions
with it were in their places before
Chalons.
1t was 4 novel plan of defense;
elastic is the one word that best
describes it. 1t was the greatest and
most successful of plans for the de-
Tense of an >old-time trench system;
for as this proved to be the last of
the great trench battles of the war,
so, also was it the fercest and
most decisive. The most threatening
advance on Paris had been stopped
earlier in the summer, but that al
lied success had not broken the Ger
man power of large-scale offensive.
Abandoned First Line.
Gouraud had abandoned his first
line system and turned it into a
mass of death traps. No soldiers
were there except the handful of
French men in sacrafce companies,
prepared to face certain death for
the sake of keeping the Germans
fooled into believing that the signal
flares and rockets they sent Up by
night and their own visible move
ments by day meant that the first
line was full of troops. Armed with
machine guns, they were to wait
there, first in deep dugouts, while
the bombardment went on, then in

r Night Like All Others.
Back OF the front line were shell
tiers filled to bursting with animals
and transportation, and around and
behind them was artillery of all cali
bers with great heaps, of ammuni-
ton. The gunners were sleeping by
the guns. Still further back were
ammunition and supply dumps,
hospitals "a big one at Bussey-le-
Chateau, and at Vadenay Ferme
was headquarters of the Rainbow
division, with General Menoher IN
command and Colonel Macarthur
chief of staff. Behind all these, 20
miles away from the German lines,
the prize the Huns soug hit on this
clear, warm, moonlight night,
of July IA, 1918. stood the city of
Chalons-sur Marine, q black spot on
the ghost-gray planes of the Cham
payne, lightless and silent.
Silent but for the occasional boom
of . gun, and crash of a shell, now
behind the German lines, now be-
hind the allied lines. Just an ordin-
ary night; harassing fire to keep
them stirred up around the batteries
and dumps and picket lines so that
they would know you were still
there and still living. Here and
there an occasional rifle shot. Now
and then a rocket like the earth
throwing 4 fiery kiss to the moon.
No airplanes, no bombs falling; just
soft moonlight, gentle breezes and
the faint throb of cannon, like the
war god breathing spasmodically in
his sleep. u
Gouraud Begins Firing.
General Gouraud began his bar
rage at II o'clock. Until November
l during the Argonne- Meuse Of
fensive that chorus Of guns held the
allied record for volume of sound
and devasting effects. 1t was timed
to coincide with the probable mass
ing of the German artillery for the
preliminary bombardment.
It paled the clear light of the
moon; where the guns were the hor-
izon was red as sunset with their
muzzle flashes; over the German
lines and rear areas the sky famed
with she'll explosions. The Rainbow
men, with nothing in their war ex-
perience except the desultory can
nonading of the Baccarat sector,
came out of dugouts and elephant
backs to watch the spectacle. When
they shouted to one another, Great

through cupped bands directly into
a comrades ear.
They stood there feeling = little
sorry for the enemy, who had to
endure such punishment; but exul-

his plans for the nights work must
be-artillery smashed before it

things the world went suddenly mad
beneath their feet and hideous death
ran rampant over every foot OF
ground
Midnight had come an hour earlier
to the Germans than it had to the
allies. They had forgotten that, some
of them. And some of them recalled
it too late. 1t was five minutes past

Finding nothing, they returned to

Acute Controversy
Before Peace Meet
Settled BY Italy

Paris, May 17.-Italy has relin-
pushed its claims to the Dodo-
canese Islands, of the Asia Minor
coast, in favor Of Greece. This ends
one of the most acute controversies
before the peace conference.
Premier Orlando, Count Macchi
Di Cellere, Italian ambassador to
the United States, and Coz. E. M.
House of the American peace mis-
sion, continued today their confer
ences looking toward a settlement
of the Adriatic question. 1t was said
that the outlook was hopeful but it
was stated in official circles that
over-optimism at present should be
discouraged.
The question of the future of the
Dodocanese islands involved the
question of self-determination. Italy
has held the islands since the Tri-
politan war, but now retires under
the terms of the treaty of Lucerne
which provided that the islands
should be held until the Italian pris-
oners in Tripoli were delivered by
the Turks.
