French adopt
Yanks' Graves

That many Frenchmen have "adopt-
ed" graves of American soldiers and
keep them trim and covered with flow
ers was the report of Hilton U. Brown,
chairman of the board of directors of
the Indianapolis News, to Bowman Ell
der, national chairman of the France
convention committee Of the American
Legion.
Following allegations that the
graves of American soldiers in foreign,
soil had been desecrated, Mr.. Brown,
whose son, Hilton u. Brown, Jr., is
buried in Romagne cemetery, made a
personal investigation. sei
II first visited the American mill
tary cemetery at Suresnes, near
Paris,' Mr.. Brown, veteran newspaper
man, said in reporting his investiga-
ton.
IF there had been any Dissertation
Of graves it would most likely be at
Suresnes, near great city, where If
anywhere, disorderly conduct might
be expected. There are 1906 Amer
lean soldiers and marines buried there.
The cemetery is in care of James I'll.
Duncan of the Eleventh Engineers.
"The cemetery is in excellent order
and is conspicuously and beautifully
located. -
"After hearing my purpose, Lieuten-
ant Duncan said, I am especially in
+o,os+o,l ~ this oorontary hooo,,co cor,,n
of my own company are buried here.
Any improperly or dissertation would
be instantly known by me and report
ed to headquarters.
"'There has been no incident of
that nature. On the contrary. the
most scrupulous courtesy is always
shown by all visitors and passers-by.
"'French troops going to or from
the fort are almost constantly pass
ing. They always come to attention
on approaching the cemetery and re-
main so until the last soldier has
passed the last grave. This means
400 meters, for that is the length Of
the road on which the cemetery fades.
Nearby in pubic athletic ground
have seen ten thousand people
watching games there. Not one has
ever climbed up on the cemetery wall
or placed foot on it in witnessing the
games.
"'We have French people who have
adopted" American soldiers graves
and come frequently to decorate
graves and pay tribute. Thousands Of
visitors come here and none has ever
left the paths or tramped on the
graves
"There are more French than Amer
leans that visit Romagne cemetery, the
largest American cemetery in France.
They show unusual respect for the
place."

Pay Tribute at
Patriot Graves

Americas pre-eminence among the
nations could not have been attained
without fighting. War is detestable,
but Americas wars have been neces-
sary not only for normal national
progress, but also for sheer self-pres-
ervation. War marked the birth of
the Republic. War to save the Repub-
lie from disintegration could not be
averted. War to assert the Republics
dignity and 10 uphold the ideal of
democracy against the assaults of ar
rogant autocracy gave Sthe United
States new claims to greatness.
War is detestable, for it is essen
TALLY savage Men in wars are devot-
ed to the work of killing. They ex-
pose themselves to the chance Of be-
ing killed by men whom they have
never seen and against whom they
have no personal enmity.. And, worst
Of all, in war might makes right, and
victory may be triumph Of injustice.
Because war is an abomination the ma
TONS gratitude to the men who have
fought Americas great wars is all the
more profound. And the nations debt
to men who have given their lives is
too great ever to be paid.
1t is at best but a poor tribute that
we can pay on Memorial day. The
flowers with which we cover the
graves cannot restore the joy of life
to young men whose sacrifice has
made our own lives livable. Our trib-
ute is rite. 1t is our expression Of
appreciation, and at the same time it
assuages a certain hurt in our own
consciences. 1t goes a little way to-
ward making us feel little less cal
lous and selfish in not remembering
every day instead of one day year.
Surely it is not too much for every
one to contribute little to the OBJ
servance of the one day devoted to
the memory of those who have given
everything for us. Memorial day
should not be regarded merely as a
holiday. day for merrymaking and
recreation. Its significance is too
much forgotten; it is the way of hu-
man nature to forget that which is not
joyous and to seize for pleasure any
moment which offers. Today let us
remember. Let US not smugly step
aside and leave observance to the few
who feel it's true meaning, but let us
all give serious thought to the great
ness of our debt. Memorial day thus
solemnized must make the United
States a finer nation and the people
Of the United States worthier of the
inestimable privileges which have been
won and safeguarded for them by the
men who lie in patriot graves. Elk

/. Audacity" Won
Praise Of Foch

American troops helped General
Gouraud's French army shatter the
German menace to Rheims when they
stormed and captured Blanc Mont, a
fortified ridge northeast of the city.
The Americans took this ridge in two
hours, charging up half-mile OF era
tered chalk hillside strewn with
blasted trees, said The Stars and
Stripes of October IL, 1918.
!, Late Tuesday, while the Americans
were still going forward against stiff
resistance and the $500 prisoners they
had taken were being augmented by
driblets of German guard and jaegers,
q rainbow broke against the clouds
away from the setting sun, and the
battle was fought on between the rain
bow and a western sky that was
brazen and red.
Aided by French and American ar
tillery, the Yanks fought their way
to the foot slopes Of the height. Then
while guns big and little were still
playing on the crest, they leaped over
trunks Of trees freshly blasted, clam
bered over pits dug by shells in the
soft chalk gravel, hoped through
brambles of barb wire, skirted RAJ
vine full of enemy machine guns, and
charged straight at the crest defended
by machine guns and underlain by a
tunnel system. On that crest they cap
tured German machine gunners in con-
crete and steel cages who had been
firing with the aid of periscopes.
Gouraud Visits P. c.
General Gouraud himself visited the
American post of command and paid a
tribute to the ability of the American
soldiers. General Foch, too, wired an
appreciation Of the ''audacious ad-
vance,"
1t was estimated that six German d.
visions were opposed to the Amer
leans in their six days fighting. At
any rate, the prisoners represented
such scattering of regiments that
the French were terming the captives
''the salad" The Prussian Guards
were there, some of them known as
Wilhelm's Own. The "green lizards"
were there, too, many of them jaeg-
ers in their green uniforms.
Illustrative of the swiftness of the
American advance was the capture
west of Blanc Mont by one American
battalion, commanded by Capt. George
X. Schiller, of 269 German soldiers,
A officers and IS machine guns And
the American battalion did this with
out single casualty Of its own, a
happening said to be almost UMPIRE
cedented in this war.
The capture was accomplished by an
enyeloping movement close upon the
barrage, and the Germans found them
selves trapped in holes, with American
rifles and machine guns around them.

There was still another unprece-
dented happening A French officer
came back into Souain marveling-
had seen an American soldier herding
together German artillery staff which
he had captured single-handed, l ma
jor, 1 captain, lieutenants, and %
privates. Corporal Fred D. Huhbell, of
Toledo, Ohio, gets the official credit
for this feat, which happened on the
morning Of October 8.
What Corporal HubbelI Did.
Corporal Hubbell's company had run
across a series of dugouts of German
artillery officers and had taken a few
prisoners who said there were no more
Germans underground. A half hour
later, while Corporal Hubbelrs COM
pany was encountering machine gun
resistance and expecting counterat-
tack, the Ohio boy was crouching in
dugout entrance. He tells what hap
pened:
II saw a German private stick his
head out of the door before me-" he
said. II told him to put up his hands,
but he jumped back inside. 1 heard
him speaking to me in English, and
finally I persuaded him to come out.
He said there were 80 others in the
dugout. / told him there were plenty
Of Americans all around me, and the
Germans all might as well surrender.
He said he'd go down and talk to
them.
HE went down, but didn't come
back. After short time I yelled down
/ was going to throw hand grenade.
I waited, but nobody came up. There
were several dugout entrances near.

from behind so moved to the left
where / could see all the entrances.
His Move Lucky One.
SIN a minute another Heine stuck
his head out and ducked back. was
getting real leery. Just then an officer
appeared at another dugout steps with
a pistol in his hand, apparently look
ing for me. 1t was lucky had moved
When he saw me he was so surprised
he tumbled over backwards down the
steps.
.Then / ran to the steps and yelled
again was going to throw down hand
grenades if they didn't come out. The
private who spoke English finally came
up and stood at the entrance and
passed on my orders. Pretty soon they
began to come out with their hands
in the air.
"When had them all lined up and
the other boys arrived, the English
speaking private told me that when
he'd gone down. the first time and
told the officers there was only one

They weren't going to surrender to
one American private. They ordered
the private to sneak out and shoot
me, but he refused.

Beauea,hed Liberty

Memorial day is well observed with
reminders that this country was born
in war, reached the maturity of it's
power in civil war, and has main
tanned its ideals, prosperity and terri
torial integrity in war. The liberty
every citizen enjoys was paid for by
soldiers and sailors who preferred
death to life in any but free coun-
try. 1t was they who bought the
country and its institutions. They left
1t to be enjoyed by posterity, and the
measure of posterity's gratitude is its
reverence for the memory Of its vic
torious forebears.

EXPERIMENT. FARM
FOR LIVESTOCK TO

Finance for Project at Dickin-
son Provided by State; Exc
pect Federal Aid

Fargo. N. D., April o.-Providing
for q section OF land as z livestock *
perimental farm, a bill was passed by
the recent North Dakota state lesisla-
ture. The farm is to be annexed TO
the Dickinson substation at Dickin-
son, according to DR.. j. II. shepperd,
president Of the Agricultural COL
lege. The passing Of this bill. points
out DR.. Shepperd, comes at a time
when farmers are being forced by the
low prices Of grains to shift from
straight grain growing to q more bal
anced type Of farming, including
greater amounts of livestock.
The state bill provides that the
governor of North Dakota may lease
the land to the United States when
the federal government passes legis-
lation to establish and maintain q
livestock experiment station there.
according to DR.. Shepperd. A bill
to cover the federal cooperation was
introduced In the United States con-
gress by J. H. Sinclair Jan. IS. but
owing to the great number OF bills
presented at the short session 1t did
not come up for consideration. DR..
Shepherd is Of the opinion, however.
that the federal bill will be considered
at the next session Of congress, which
-convenes in December.
This bill now before congress pro-
vides for the appropriation of $4,000
for the construction of buildings.
fences, corrals, a water system, the
purchase of livestock and for the SAL
aries of scientists to conduct the work
on the livestock inveStigational farm.
When congress passes the necessary
legislation, livestock work will be
conducted jointly by the United
States Bureau of animal industry, de-
partment of agriculture, and the d.
vision of animal husbandry at the
Agricultural college. The plan Is to
carry on this work In the same CO.
operative fashion as the grazing ex-
pertinent with cattle has been carried
at the Federal Dry Land station at
Mandan for the past is years. The
new work is planned to concern It.
self with the feeding, breeding and
management problems with beef cat
tie, hogs and sheep, and will thus
neither duplicate nor encroach upon
the work now under way at Mandan,
states DR.. Shepperd, but Will supple
ment the work there.
An example of a detailed expert
ment that would be fitting work for
the investigational farm Is the feed
ing and finishing for market Of the
lambs produced in western North Da-
kota and those purchased direct from
the ranges and fed in transit. The
cheap pasture OF that RECON. the
grains and screenings produced there
and standing orn which can be fed
off, points out DIR. Shepherd. repre-
sent a sample OF what may be done as
experimental work in warming up"
and fully fattening meat animals.
Owing to the limited state funds.
experimental work with livestock in
the western part of the state has been
confined to sheep feeding at the WI
liston s~ubstation, Holstein dairy cat
tie work at the Hettinger suhstation,
and the two cooperative projects at
