How the Regular" Army Fought.


Eloquent and even extravagant tribute has
been paid the American soldier for his work in
France. We endorse everything said in his
praise but the iconoclastic facts as disclosed
by official reports give quite new tnge to some
features Of the history of the campaigns as it is
being written Out west we have heard quite
little OF the exploits OF the Forty-second, the
Thirty-ffth, the Eighty-second and the Eighty
ninth, while down around New York and Bos-
ton the Twenty-sixth and the Twenty-seventh
divisions have been lonized to no end.
These were all National Guard organizations
or made up from drafted men. Once in while
one comes across a mention Of some unit Of
the regular army" but these fellows seem to
have been taken for granted A tabulation just
battle for the American Expeditionary Forces
In France amount to $4,000 killed, 237135
wounded and 4,434 taken prisoner. OF this
total the Second division lost 4,4l9 killed and
20,6s7 wounded. On divisional strength of
$4,000, this is a casualty percentage Of nearly
20. The Thirty-ffth division, about whose losses
50 much fuss has been raised had 4 total Of
$50 killed and 1894 wounded, = percentage of
but 70, or less than one-thrd Of that sustained
by the Second.
The three heaviest losers were the First,
Second and Third divisions. Our little stand
ing army went into the war to do its duty, and
carried on in keeping with Its history.
Politicians may think it popular to decry the
organization, but the soldiers know the truth.

Plea for the Dandelion.
Omaha, May 10. To the Editor
Of the Bee: AS matter of fact
there is no more beautiful sight than
a green meadow thickly studded
with dandelions.
AS a harbinger Of spring nothing is
more welcome than the dandelion.
If the dandelion were an exotic hot
house production and some one
succeeded in growing it outdoors in
lawn people would come from all
directions to see it as they now do
the peonies when they are in bloom
mt at the neony farm
There are pastures of hundreds
Of acres around Omaha that are a
glorious golden sheen with dande-
lions, a most beautiful sight. 1t
seems to be too bad when Nature
spreads a feast for the eye
like the dandelion in all Its glory
that just because it is a common
sight to be had without price and at
our own doors we are unapprecla-
tive Of the treat furnished us. mas
much as 1t Is impossible to extermi-
nate the dandelion and 1t disappears
automatically later in the summer
or when the grass grows high
enough to choke it let us enjoy the
beauty of the same, Danish the back
aches that go with the utterly futile
attempts to exterminate it and feast
our eyes upon the yellow and green
for the little while in the spring that
the dandelion Is with us. IF the
grouchy, belligerent feeling still
persists in us let us use the green
leaves Of the dandelion as salad,
which is warranted to move us to a
happier frame Of mind. Then we
can make a delectable cordial out of
the blossoms that appear when the
dandelion is ready to disappear.
The formula for true happiness is
to see with an appreciative eye the
beauties of nature that lie about us
and find our pleasures therein.
THE DANDELION'S FRIEND.

R. w. AUSTIN
DIED SUNDAY

Ex-Congressman r. w. Austin died
at his home in Washington Sunday
morning at o'clock, after an illness
of long duration. Though Mr..
Austin had been able to go about un
til recently he had been sick man
for four years and his death resulted
from troubles that have been gnaw-
ing at his system for many months.
Peritonitis was the immediate cause
of death.
Mr.. Austin went out of office as
congressman on March 4. For ten
years he had represented the district
in congress, and was the best repre-
sentative, according to general opin-
ion, the second district has had in
congress. Mr.. Austin was leader
in the house of congress and in
national politics. He was always on
the job, and had won many victories
on the floor Of the house in debate on
questions of district and national
interest.
Mr.. Austin had established law
office in Washington and was ready
to enter into his profession when
death called him. He had signed
contracts with various firms and cor
porations that would have made him
independent financially.
In politics Mr.. Austin was hard
fighter and of course had hrs enemies.
However, political differences are
usually selfish differences, and the
bitterest opposition to Mr.. Austin
was because he was on top and those
who wanted on top could not be. His
ability and good intentions were not

ed and understood that had Mr.. Taft
been returned to the presidency for
the second term, Mr.. Austin would
have been a member of his cabinet
His knowledge and information on
some questions Of national and inter-
national Importance was considered
second to none in Washington, and
he was a valuable public servant
wherever he was placed.

Pearlie Myers, aged about Is years
was accidentally shot and killed last
Saturday on Timbered ridge, near
Townsend. He and Dave Moore's
little boy were playing with Rem
ington shot gun, according to the re-
port, and the gun accidentally fired,
the Myers boy being killed. The
Moore lad, who is about IL years old,
is grief stricken over the tragedy.
1t seems that the Myers boy, who was
the son of George Myers, had gone
with some neighbor boys to take cat
tie on the mountains, and it was
while they were on this trip that the
accident occurred. Dave Moore is
the herder and his little boy was on
the mountain with him..
The shooting was purely accidental.
