A SOLDIERS TESTIMONY

! Il was sent to Brest from the in
terror of France on an important
! mission and while there saw $4,000
American soldiers disembark in one
day, Then knew we would win the
war.
I'VE who went early too busy in
the line of duty in the interior OF
France to attempt to find out what
was happening at HON or at the
the French seaports. The newspapers
could tell us nothing. Dispatches and
letters we're censored. The silence
was maddening.
OF course we wondered. We wish
ed and wondered but the only relief
was what we could guess. You may
imagine what a deep satisfaction il
was to get TO Brest and see an army
landed in one day. | could have yelled
myself hoarse.
"They were coming, coming day by
day, week by week., filling France
with the greatest fighting force ever
conceived. We would have had ten
million there if it had become neces-
sary.
when the British and the French
saw that America was making
coed. that they could depend on Amer
lean promises; when they saw that
the Americans were fighters and
could be relied upon to hold the line
they threw in their reserves and the
Germans felt the resistance as they
had not felt it before. From that
moment victory began"
Such we're the remaks OF an Amer
lean officer who came home wearing
the British decoration of the Distin-
guished Service Order. They are
quoted as representative of American
thought and feeling among our arm
les in France during the heat OF the
struggle.
Americas achievements in the
world war show what our nation can
do in times of danger and of great
necessity The entire nation was
in the war. eacr one according to his

The grid field at Douglas park
will be laid out this fall so as to
bring the grand stand into closer
range with the actual play. Instead
of running north and south as in
previous years, it will extend from
east to west, the south bounds COM
ing as close to the stand as is feGs-
ible. This viii place the east goal
posts directly in front of the
bleachers while the greater portion
of the grand stand will run par
alleI with the south boundary line.
This arrangement should meet
with entire satisfaction of spec
tators as il viii afford a close view
of the play for those who are ceat-
ed The large space north of the
playing field Will be fenced off and
used Tor automobiles and standing
purposes, and the same will hold
for that section lying to the west
Of the stand.
1t is believed that approximately
10000 people can be accommodated
in this way.

TO SCRIMMAGE
INDEPENDENTS
THURSDAY EVE
Coach UrselIa viii Send the Men
at Each Other in Survival OF
the FitteSt-

First scrimmage for the indie
pendents will probably be in
dulged in next week, Thursday
night, and then the wedding out
process will begin. Signal drill
will be the order for Tuesday
night, and with the Wednesday
rest, Coach Ursella believes the
men will be in shape to Withstand
hard knocks. With four practice
sessions during the next two
weeks, the coach figures the team
will be going by the time the
whistle blows for the first game of
the year, one week from next Sun
day, when the Rockford A. c. ag-
gregation will be the guests.
In some quarters the impression
prevails that the A c. team will
not offer strong opposition to Ur-
sella's men because of the fact that
another organization has sprung
up in the Cream city. The fact is
that the A. C.'s have the largest
following of any professional team
in Rockford, and ii has started out
this year TO annex the champion
ship of the state and middle west
According to press reports, it will
be the representative team of the
city. Practically every member is
a former college or university star.
The game can be counted upon to
satisfy everyone.
The candidates were put through
another hard drill Sunday morning
at Douglas park. The candidates
are fast rounding into shape. Sup
erfiuous flesh can be seen dwind-
ling for all of EN-.
Most of the morning was taken
up with kicking and passing Suits
and shoes have not yet been dished
out, the coach preferring to get a
line of his most likely players be
fore hand. This has saved them
thus far from the hard drill in the
rudiments of the game, such as
falling on the ball and blocking
and taCkling.

Directors OF the Moline Fans
association football team have
stated themselves as definitely OPP
posed 10 the proposition to play
the Independents, winner take all.
In a letter received by the man
ager of the locals Saturday, they
explained their opposition as due
TO the fact that they have a large
salary list staring them in the face
and loss Of the game would prob
ably result in the organization hay
ing to toss up the sponge. It was
contended that inasmuch rs tho
Independents play on a basis OF
share and share alike they would
have nothing to lose but their eff
forts in case OF defeat
In view of these pressing cir
cumstances. tho NJ F. A. says IL
will only tackle the Independents
GO per cent 10 the winner and 40
per cent to the loser. Manager
Flanagan is giving the matter con-
sideration and will probably get in
touch with the opposing officials
today in an effort TO effect an I'M
derstanding.
In case an agreement is reached,
the first game will in all probable
ity take place on Oct. u. This is
the tentative date that was offered
at the meeting Thursday evening
Rather than rob the fans of the
chance to enjoy a good game, it is
likely that MOline's offer will be
accepted. The 60-4O split has been
the custom in past seasons.

Nothing has been done about it
