Unit NOTHING DAMPENS ARDOR Former Coal Operator With Income of $100,000 a Year Plods Along with HI. Forty-pound Pack Having tho ! Time of His Life Spend Week or More In Rest Camps In England Be . fore Going to France. It was i down. A pelting rain i drenched tlils.tiualnt historic KngUsh, vlllugo. Fur up tlie muddy rond over the big hills came tho muffled tones of .a mllltury bund. They were pluylng -, America's popular war song, "Over There.", ' .. Behind them marched singing, shout ing warriurs 5.000 of Uncle Sam's i soldiers inarching from their rest cmup to trains on the last leg of 'their Journey to No Man's Laud. The rain did not dampen their ar dor. Through tho mud they waded with grlnnlng faces Blnglng "Hull, hall, the gang's all here ;: what the b 1 do we care." "It's tho spirit of American soldiers that's going to win this war," ob served Col. B. V. ;Suilth, commandant of one of the units. HO was a Jolly old "war horse," wltn the face, figure and humor that made htni look the twin of Irvln Cobb. , "1 was a classran'te of Black Jack Pershing at West Point," he grinned. "I'll, sure be glad to Bee hlin over there In France." j . ,; ... ' "Some Boys," These. -'Ho hailed from Sao Francisco and his regiment comprised boys from t parts of Pennsylvania, Indlann, Illi nois and Kentucky. Nothing else in the world mattered to him Just now but his "boys," and ho was so proud of them, he said, as he Joined a party . of us along the roadside watching the boys swing past. . "See that . fellow over there," ho ; pointed out a cleun-cut, grinning Yank, plodding along with a 40-pound pack on his back. "He was an Illinois coal operator and had an Income of $100,000 a year until tho draft got him. .Now he's getting a little better than $400 a year and likes It. I've got more Just like him In my unit." ' ' Near by stood a little old lady who rushed out ever and anon to grasp the hands of the Yanks. . "Good-by, boys" there was the suspicion- of a . tear . and her lip qulvored as she added : "nope you all get back. Good luck and God bless you." "Mother" Powell they called her, some one said. From out the big brown shawl thrown over her head peeped a little old lady face such as , we have expected and hoped our dead and gone grandmothers had. She had lost two sons In the trendies "over . there,"- and every morning, rain or shine, she was out on the road bid ding the boys good-hy and Godspeed on their Journey "over there." Some of the Ynnks censed their hi larity long enough to grasp her hand .or shout "Good-by, mother." One .brushed her check with his Hps and I could see him fighting buck the tears as he plodded on. The Yanks only stay a week or so in the rest camp here, but they all knew her. Rest for a Week. m Entraining from the boats nt an English port nil the American soldiers rest up a week or so at one or another "-of the American rest camps' in or oround this historic English village. In company with three colonels and n : .number of other officers I visited the night ltfforo the largest of these camps. American camaraderie runs high In . : England. When Yank meets Yank in Great Britain the conventions are dropped In the haiyeliow-well-met fashion. In this manner I met' an American colonel nt the station. . Ho spotted me for a Yank, thrust out his .baud und Introduced himself. ' '"I got a tin, buggy .going up to the camp shortly; climb In,", he Invited. We reached the camp In time for dinner and It was "some" dinner, .lb! i -the galvanized Iron mess hut for. of-j fleers I cut down to a reul Yankee! "square feed" of roast beef, potatoes, peas, tomatoes, coffee with real un skimmed milk and sugar aud nn honest-tO-Jehosnpbat American apple pie. WOMAN DOING BIG BIT' Runs Store, Has Family,- Yet Knits ' , , 5,000 Socks. , .Although she takes care of a gro : eery, a home and a family, Mrs. Al tbert Nicolay of .'Cincinnati had knit ted 2.500 pairs of socks for the Sep tember Ited Cross quotu and is still ; at It. She Is able, in a modest way, JYj to lay claim to the sock-knlttlng cham pionship, If not of tho whole state, at least of Hamilton county. An ex pert In the use of her knitting ma chine, she said she Is glad she is able to work fast "for our soldiers need every, minute we can give them." .. Pay $5 to Kiss Sailor. Women of the Baptist churches sold $1,000 worth of Thrift Btiiiniis at the "Little Whltp House,", in front of the federal ;bulldlng at St. Louis, which Is the established headquarters of the Thrift stamp committee of the city. Several girls ln the noon-day crowd bought $5 worth of stamps to obtain the privilege of kissing a sailor. Source of Amber and Jade.
