Chances For Return Of SC
 Cigar Slim

We nearly had the five cent cigar back again. But the chances are slim, now that Congress Is seriously considering a permanent continuance of the high duty on imported tobac- co which was clapped on during the war.
 Former Vice President Marshall made a big hit when he said, What five cent cigar For the epigram contained the homely truth that the five cent indicated a return to nor malcy all the way along the line ana that rents, food, clothing and prices for amusements might soon return to pre-war conditions.
 Before the war, the duty on Suma- tra tobacco was $1.S5 pound. The emergency war tariff increased this duty to s2.35 a pound, and the pur- pose of senators who are supposed to be acting on behalf of the growers Of domestic tobacco in some states, Is to have this emergency tariff made per manent.
 Cigar manufacturers say. "It is inn possible to make cigars exclusively of l domestic tobacco that Americans will smoke. The tobacco grown in New York Connecticut PennSylva mia, Ohio, Wisconsin and other states in which the industry is carried on, pos- itively requires Sunatra wrapper in order to secure q blend. Efforts to use American wrappers on cigars with domestic filters have always failed Recently some cigar manufactur- CTS, anticipating a return to pre-War tariff on tobaccoS, have made reduc- tions in the prices of domestic cigars but they assert it will be necessary Tor them to raise their prices again if the proposition to make the emer- gency tariff permanent is adoDted. But even the Joss of the 'good five cent cigar of which Vice Presi- dent Marshall speaks is perhaps the least serious of the effects which will follow a continuance of the $2.3 duty on Sunatra wrapper tobacco. American farmers who raise to- bacco will be first to feel the pres sure if the plan to increase the duty is adopted" said a prominent manu- factur Instead of applauding the senators who are trying to jam through the high tariff, tobacco growers will be likely to curse them year hence. With a $2.35 tariff, we will have either to raise the price of domestic cigars or pay less for domes- tic tobacco We cannot raise prices without losing business. More cigars
 were smoked five years ago than are
 being smoked today in this country. So in order to keep prices down and prevent the cigar business from going
 entirely to the bad, we have got to cut
 costs, wherever possible; and the first
 cut will necessarily come on the
 home grown tobacco.
 Cigar manufacturers all over the
 United States are plainly worried over
 the proposed plan to continue the
 high tax on Sumatra wrapper They
 are peSsimistS. due to the fact that
 they predict many cigar maker will
 be thrown out of employment, that
 farmers will receive less money for
 their tobacco and less tobacco will be
 sold, that factories will have to be
 closed and cigar jobbers and retailers
 will be affected. In the end, the gov
 ernment, instead of getting more rev.
 enue because of increased duty, will
 get less, for importations will be cut
 down.

Spanish
American
Y War n
Veterans

Memorial day is both holiday and
a holy day. For more than fifty years
we have observed it. First they whom
we honored were beardless youths,
then men of mature years, then 1.-The
old soldiers" We are now reminded
that we must also decorate the graves
of the fallen heroes of the World war.
North and South vie with each other
in doing this fine service, for World
war heroes came from the whole
country. And Shiloh and Antietam,
Gettysburg and Cold Harbor have
their counterpart in the Somme and
the Marne, Ypres and Flanders.
Splendid spirit Magnificent service
But while preparations for these OBJ
servances take place, we are apt to
forget the veteran of the Spanish
American war. So let us not say the
heroes of two wars are honored, but
rather the heroes of three wars.
We have never given the Spanish
American war veteran quite the honor
which is his due He did some great

the French territorials streaming back
through the Second division of the
American army, which had just come
forward in support and relief. Ely!
Ely The Hum - they shouted.
Retreat, h--ll We have just come.
Let the Boche retreat !" called back
an officer of the American forces as he
and his men rushed forward.
1t was May in France, 1913, records
Clara Whitesde in the Philadelphia
Ledger. The French line from Sois-
sons to Reims paralleled in general
way the line of the ancient road.
Chemin des Danes, and the French
defenses were so strong that the war
worn gallant French armies were using
middle-aged men known as territorials
to hold this part of the line. Perhaps
because of this, and also to make an
effort to split the French and English
armies, the Germans made great at
tack on this sector at the end of May,
and in five days had driven back the
French to open country, following the
great half circle of the Marne, which
the Germans crossed at Dormans on
the east side of the salient at Chateau
Thierry and at Belleau.
There were no trenches and no
Qualifications so far back from the
fighting front and the war was again
in the open. Foreseelng the purpose
of the German army to enter a wedge
between the allied armies, Marshal
Foch selected American troops to stop
this advance, which at Les Meres
farm and at Chateau Thierry had
reached the nearest point to Paris-37
miles-slnce the previous advance in
1914.
Herolsm Commonplace.
The Second American division had
Just taken that part of the line in the
neighborhood of Belleau, while at Dor
mans and Chateau Thierry the First
and Third were holding back the Hun.
Rocks and crags hid the enemy's ma
chine guns, but in the early part of
the engagement the French We're vir-
tually without artillery protection and
were fighting a hand-to-hand action to
stop the Germans until help could
come. In the fighting of May and
early June. 1918, the American troops
were without supports and reserves,
but the individual initiative was re-
markable. Heroism was a common
place of the American soldier in ac-
ton.

things for us. He was a volunteer
soldier. He acted in a hurry. He
suffered. He bled. He endured his
hardships. He had his sicknesses. And
he won.
The war with Spain in 1898 had
enlisted hundreds of thousands of
men; many more than were called for.
Many of them never came back.
The armies in that war were made
up entirely of volunteer soldiers. Con-
scription was not employed and not
needed. Not battle was lost in that
war by American soldiers. Not an
inch of ground was covered by re-
treat. For not single hour from the
time of the declaration of war until
the finish was there any question as
to the outcome.
The world was astounded by the
feats of our splendidly equipped navy.
Germany silenced, England was won
over to our way of thinking, and
prestige not known before was given
our nation throughout Europe. We
obtained a free hand in the Pacific,
and established channels of trade with
the Orient.
Best of all, friendly relations with
the South were cultivated. Both North
and South united in a common cause.
And the Monroe doctrine was given
new force and meaning on this hemis-
phere.
All of that was done in 100 days by
the Spanish-American war veteran.
Let us not forget him. Let us do him
honor with the others on Memorial
days.

"Marie," or city hall. Eighty-two stone
buildings are to be restored, as well
as a group of small farms on the hill
side. The French government has
promised to have all roads put into
condition as their contribution, and 1t
will be guarded by our boys who lie
silent in the little green-and-white
cemetery just across the way.
Homes Must Be Rebuilt.
In time nature will restore to France
her trees and flowered loveliness, but
neither time nor nature can rebuild
shattered homes. Those of us who
have not been intimately touched by
the horrors of war or the cruelty of
sudden overwhelming separation from
those we love can only approximate
the sadness in the lives of those about
us who have not been so fortunate.
Many mothers heart is buried and
her enthusiasm deadened. 1t is only
through some practical memorial that
her interests can be reused and re-
awakened.
The field of honor at Belleau will be
the permanent Aisne-Marne cemetery,
''where a shining forest of snow-white
crosses will stand as sentinels over
the mortal remains of 6,000 of our
boys The organization for this me-
mortal to our dead has its headquar-
ters in Washington, with Marshal
Foch chairman for France, John w.
Weeks, honorary president. The pres
ident is Mrs. James Carroll Frazer
vice president of the Navy League of
the United States, and Vice President
Coolidge as a member of the national
committee. Mrs. Charles Lea is chair
man for Pennsylvania; Mrs. Theodore
w. Reath, acting chairman; Gen. w.
Helen Foster, secretary.
How Our Boys Went Into Action.
Mrs. Reath revisited France last
summer and went over all the ground
in the neighborhood of Belleau. At
Les MOres farm she made the ac-
quaintance of a young Frenchman who
had been severely wounded at the Bat
tie of the Marne. "He had witnessed
the advance of the American troops"
said Mrs. Reath, land his account was
so graphic and bore such testimony to
the truthfulness of the American cor
respondents who had covered the ad-
vance of the American army in 1918
and described the troops in action at
Belleau, that l feel l should tell it to
you as he told it to me.
"'Those men were magnificent, ma
dame! They had taken off their coats
and had pinned to their shirts u pop
py. AS they rushed forward they
yelled, and, madame, as they fired
the Germans went hipity hop hipity
hop This was the only English word
that Frenchman knew, but it was the
most expressive English word l have
ever heard. 1t does seem incredible
that our boys should have been so
careless with their lives" continued
Mrs. Reath, but l have no reason to
doubt the truth of the mans word,
especially as it corroborated the ac-
count of our own correspondents at
the time"
This memorial at Belleau is to be
established to those boys-our boys;
to their idealism; to their heroism that
brooked no barrier 1t is to be a me-
mortal that will give to the people of
this part of France a practical express
sion of the goodwill of the American
people as well as a national tribute to
the men whose souls shall be where
the heroes are" and whose memory
shall 'shine like the morning star"
The Colorado statesman., 1922-05-27

His offer was accepted. He had an
almost uncanny sense of direction, and
no one in the company possessed a bet
ter knowledge of wood lore. All his
summers had been spent In the open,
and these paytimes of earlier days
had developed qualities that now stood
him in good stead. The playtime of
| the child had become the opportunity
of the man.
Creeping cautiously through the un-
derbrush, he reached the shelter of
| the woods, only to find that he had
stumbled on a quarry and a camp of
more than sixty German soldiers.
Trembling with excitement, he rushed
forward. Surrender" he shouted.
'1'he whole American army is behind
met Surprised, bewildered, the men
marched out, under cover of the hold
up, and were brought prisoners into
the American line. One of the majors
in the Second division wrote in June,
1918, of the death in action of this
marine He was killed in the Bois
de Belleau by shell near where my
command post was, shortly after
wounded in an attack we were max
ing. The day before he went into
quarry and brought out 60 Germans
as prisoners, single-handed. Such an
act speaks for itself"
1t was by this spirit these men
fought, and because of this spirit these
men won. 1t was dearly bought
victory, but it stopped the German
objective, and the enemy never again
won n victory or made another drive.
Many States Share Glory.
In the little cemetery on the western
edge of Belleau woods, there is hardly
a state in the Union not represented.
There are 200 alone from Massachu-
setts. Belleau woods, just above the
village of Belleau, where the Germans
sheltered their guns, is now called
the 'Wood of the Marine Brigade"
and what was once a lovely wooded hill
is now a rocky devastation its crown
of natures green now rows of "tooth-
picks" standing naked to the sky.
In Washington, in June, 1921, the
plan of the Belleau Wood Memorial
association to rebuild the town of Bel
leau by popular subscription was
launched The Belleau Woods Me
moral association thinks it better to
rebuild
"a house that has echoed baby's
laugh and held up its stumbling
feet"
better to put a
"home's loving wooden arms
around a man and his wife,"
than to erect Il shaft of marble cold
to the sky in memory of our dead.
The national committee hopes to raise
100000 and with this money rebuild
the little town of Belleau shattered by
our boys in their advance on Belleau
wood.
The plan is to rebuild the village as
1t was, with the addition of a better
church, school, and with an adequate
water supply; the supervision will be
In the hands of Col. Charles Il. Forbes,
director of the Veterans bureau, who
served in the A. e. f. and who is
noted engineer in civil life. Every
cent raised will go into the rebuilding
memorial, as the organizing expenses
are being borne by small group of
contributors. The names and ad-
dresses of every contributor will be
preserved in the archives of the rebuilt
