when one meets the same feel ing just as confidently exprest, among the higher-ups at C. H. Q. General Nolan was a good ex- ample of this.
 He dwelt particularly upon the way in which the French, several times, called upon Pershing for American troops to lead the way in attacks on particularly difficult positions along the French part of the front.
 "So insistent were the requests for American troops" said Gen. eral Connor, ''that it seemed that the commanders of the Allies felt that the very presence of Amercan divisions assured victory. It is to the eternal glory of the Americanl soldier thpt wherever he went he found victory
 General Connor exprest the opinion that the United States soldier was worth two of any oth- CT country"
 General Mosley, of staff sec ton four-called the distributor and Colonel Lincoln of section one-the wholesaler-referred to the shortages of forage and horses in the army and the consequent need of falling back on the French for help. It was revealed that there was considerable, feel ing over the situation that ensued. It seems that the French promis- ed a certain number of horses, were unable to make good, and frequently had to charge more for them than had been original ly unn nerstood. Colonek Lincoln dwelt upon the difficulties which the continually caused various branches of the American Army. The boost in price was evil denty forced by certain groups of French business men, but through pressure from French officials at Paris this situation was finally relieved somewhat.

when we are naturally quiet, find it difficult to sit still an hour. how can we expect children to sit still for six hours each day. No wonder we can not hold the boys in school. We can never do so until our schools are vocationalized giving agricul ture the weight, in community up- lift, 1t must have.
 The system must be changed. In fact we are rapidly changing it. Already, especially in our manual training and domestic science class es taught, will no doubt bring about better methods.
 Every district in Lee county is offered an opportunity to give their colored boys and girls voca- tional agriculture. Special appro- priations are offered. Why not take this matter up with the Depart ment of Education at Little Rock?

Let The Dead Lie
 Where They Fell

Washington, Aug. 27.-General Pershing, in cablegram to the War Department, has expressed the opinion that the bodies of Ameri- can soldiers who died abroad should be left where they fell.
 'T believe that, could these sol diers speak for themselves, they would wish to be left undisturbed where, with their comrades, they fought the last fight" General Pershing said Those men who rest in England gave their lives in the same cause and their remains rep resent the same salvation as those who lie on the battlefields.
 "The graveD of our soldieds constitute, if they are allowed to remain perpetual reminder to our allies of the liberty and ideals upon which the greatness of Ameri- ca rests. think the sentiments above outlined are held by many who have given this subject thought These sentiments should arpeal to the relatives and friends. Recom- mend that none of our dead be re- moved from Europe unless their nearest relatives should demand, af- ter full understanding of all the sentimental reasons against such removal, and further recommend that immediate steps be taken for permanently improving and beautify- ing the cemeteries.

real L. J. McNair, chief of tbe training section of the staff, told the story:
 As soon as we began making our plans," said the General representatives of the British and French came to us, each urging us to adopt his nations system of training. Their methods were in vestigated by General Pershine and finally he decided to adopt neither He decided on a strict ly American method of trainine troops. Naturally there was great deal of national pride bac of the attitude of both our grea Allies, and our position was fel keenly by them.
 General Pershing differed from the other Allied Chiefs or vital principles. From the first he believed that the Germans West ern Front could be broken, but our Allies then assured us thai the war would end on the then front-in fact, that it was impos- sible to break through. They be- lieved that the wpr would be stabilized to the end. Therefore, they wanted the Americans to be trained chiefly for trench war fare.
 But General Pershing didn,t want to train our men solely to be trench+fighters. There was never any question in his mind that the German lines could be broken by American troops. With this idea of the offensive as the only possible role to fit the Am erican characteristics and mission in the war went also the idea of an aggressive and self-reliapt in- fantry, as the basis of all or ganization. Train for thes open warfare was Pershing's great principle, and he chung to it in spite of the earnest edvice of both British and French. The rifle was coming to be looked upon in some way as an almost obsolete on it's value.
 ''The American idea was justi- fled"
 Although at G. H. D. there was the typical soldierly desire not to sing the praises of any individ- ual men, says the writer, the dis tinct impression was created among the visitors that had Gen. eral Pershing not broken with his Allies on this point the war would not have been won any where near as early as it was. Altho Pershing's decision does not now seem remarkable, it was at that time considered revolution ary-certainly an experiment. It is doubtful if many of his acts required more courage than did this discardng the advice of hIs experienced Allies-when he was still a newcomer on the scene.
 General Connor was quite frank in referring to this phase of the situation, as the writer re- ports:
 "One of the greatest difficult

GOOD ATTRACTIONS AT FAIR

The advertisements stated that the
attractions at the fair this year would
be better than ever bfore and they
are. The exhibition flights given In a

full when the equilibrium he is com

There is a better string of horses here
than for any previous year and the
races are first class There are enough
horses in each race to make them in
teresting to the audience. The e9chib-
ition in cattle and hogs is considerably
larger than usual but there is lack
ing in the number of horses and colts.
In the line of vegetables and fruits
there is size and quality which W IL
grace any fair in the state of Kansas
but the exhibition is not large Just
why the people have failed to bring
their products to the fair when they
have raised so much more of it this

were about the same as on other years
but a record breaking crowd is looked
for today and tomorrow if the wealth

Here are a few notes on the fair:

quality and good variety of vegeta-
bles can be grown on the Cass farm
on the Saline and has a fine exhi-
bition of vegetables on display at the
fair. If a dozen others had brought in
as many articles as she did the dis
