' 1 Texas Sands Are Ironing .Board for Straightening Out the Wrinkles, ALL ANXIOUS FOR ACTION Tom Troops KXe Great Impression OB TTnited Tt Correepoaaeat Tresh Trom BtUfllda. ; ; By William G. Shepherd. Mian Antonio, Texas. July Jl U. F.) Uncle Sam has dujc hl anclem ' form coat the mllltla out of tha at Ma of peace. On tha Ironing board of Texas sands h Is spreading It out for examination and under the hot Iron of discipline ha is trying to make It warproof. ' It Is musty, wrinkled, creaaed with asms, ripped here and there, but the material la superfine. True enough, ' tha material doesn't like the operation. 'It would rather be out In a atorm doing its wort lIt auks every reporter, or other supposedly wise man It sees: "Aren't wa going to have war with Mexico r,. Army Uke Joseph's Coat. '. But storm coats must be overhauled Whether the coat likes It or not. It s all according to the man who has to depend on it In rough weather. The texture of the garment is as varied ' as Joseph's coat. That variegated army which I saw in Halonlkl a few months ago, consisting of French, . Knglish, Serbians, Hindoos, Aus tralians, Cochin-Chlnans and Monte negrins, looked like a mass of blood brothers compared with the middle western mllltla. Having tha enemy before them gave the Balonlkan troops one common thought. But here, with no enemy in tight, the militia Is extremely Joseph , pattern. Polish Company Cited. " "There's Polish company K of Mil .waukee, First Wisconsin, for Instance, It was Organized 60 years ago by Theo fiere Rosinskl. It is known as Kosci usko's company. Forty per cent of It 1 110 members were born In Poland. I sat In the tent of Chaplain Henry Plasecki and tried to imagine I was back at the British, French or Aus trian front and talking with an off 1 ccr of one of those armies, as he said Mt was an ancient custom of his com pany not to permit any but Poles to Join and that they kept up the custom .out of deference to hundreds of previ ous members now dead. ! Could Only Happen In IT. 8. J "So many Poles try to Join now we tre full and turn them over to otne companies of the regiment," aald the chaplain. "They are scattered through 'the Wisconsin troops. I "Wa found a Polish church In San (Antonio, and the church folks are get' fting together automobiles, burctcs ,wagons and all kinds of rigs to take Us. up to church next Sunday." t But I couldn't Imagine I was any . twbere but in the American armv Ki.nh fc thing' couldn't happen In any other army in the world, or In any other 'place than America. Wisconsin peo pie claim the American government has declared the Wisconsin militia to e the model for the country. Colored Soldiers Snappy. This Polish company for three years In succession has taken the first Wls : eonsln prize for field work. Splandid soldiers, thoroughly American, bui adding variegation to Uncle Sam's Btormcoat. Chicago's colored regiment, the Xlghth, adds variety and even snap- plness. It Is hard enough for Chi cago's colored troops to ride In the Jim Crow section of the streetcars.

NUTCRACKER IS BEING OPENED BY THE ALLIES (Continued From Page One.) ly to Combles, following In a general way the line of the front. Combles has been used by the Oermans as a depot distributing center; but today, with the town In the direct zone of the French artillery fire, and likely to fall at any moment, the German forces have been complied to change their supply base to a point farther back. It was not expected that the French would be permitted to hold their new gains, along a distance approximating 10 miles, without a terrilic counter-at tack. BRITISH PROCEEDING SLOWLY IN RENEWED PICARDY OFFENSIVE London, July 21. (I. N. 8.) British troops are advancing slowly but sure ly in their renewed offeruiivo in Plcardy. Today's official statement tells, of the capture of Foreaux wood6, which the Teutons had strongly" fortified," ac companled by the admission that an Immediate German counter attack was partly successful. "But." continues the statement, "a significant feature is that, while the Germans are attaining some success with their counters, they are able to regain but little of the territory seized by the British." Severe fighting continues about the Leipzig redoubt, strong German forti fications north of the Somme, and also In the Delvllle woods. "The fighting Is intermittent," eaid the official statement, "between the Leipzig redoubt on the west and Del ville wood on the east. "North of Bazentln and Longueval, the British advance has pushed into Bois Des Foureaux, driving out the enemy last night. An enemy counter attack, after an intense bombardment with gas shells, succeeded in effect ing an entry in the north part of the wood, but failed to dislodge us from the southern half. "Elsewhere the situation remains unchanged." FRENCH THROW BACK COUNTER ATTACKS OF GERMANS ON SOMME Paris. July 21. (U. P.) Heavy Ger man counter-attacks on the positions which the French won yesterday in a renewal of the Somme assault were re pulsed today. The victorious French troops threw the Teutons back In dis order, inflicting heavy losses, and have consolidated and strengthened their positions materially. The official statement today report ed Frenoh successes everywhere along the line. It Indicated the heaviest fighting In the sector where yester day's fighting gained ground on a 10 mlle front. The German counter-at tack came last night, when the French were making themselves secure In their newly wrested gains. In the Oaulnes region a strong: Ger man patrol attempting to reach the French lines' was surprised and routed at the bayonet point. Between Sols sons and Rhelms French patrols which penetrated into German held territory were successful In a grenade attack on a German trench, emptying It of the enemy. Heavy artillery actions were report ed in the Chattancourt and Fleury re gions. In the Vosgn the Germans are vio lently bombarding the French posi tions. North of Wlssenbach the French lines vigorously repulsed a strong German attack. Vienna Reports Success. Vienna, July 21. (I. N. S.) The Germans in the Volhynia district have pushed the enemy back west of the lowlands and north of Hvinlacte, ac corTltng to official announcement from the war office here today. The Italian theatre was reported generally quiet. MANY SIGN PETITIONS AGAINST CENSORSHIP OF Campaign of Protest and Ap peal Has Gathered Over 10,000 Signatures, WILL GO BEFORE COUNCIL Modification of Present Ordinance to Permit Adjudication of Questional of Propriety tj Jury Xs Asked. The campaign of protest and ap peal being waged by the Oregon Mo tion Picture Men's association against the present censorship ordinance and for the substitution of one which will granc appeal to the courts from the ruling of the censorship board. Is gathering momentum with mere than 10,000 signatures now affixed to pe titions circulated In the city. Slides and pamphlets bearing on the issue are being displayed and dis tributed in all the large downtown theatres and the smaller community ploture houses. The opening of the campaign met with Immediate re sponse in all sections of the city. One large theatre boasted one thou sand signatures In 24 hours display of the petitions. The cause of the picture men brief ly summed np In their pamphlet hinges upon the question of appeal "from possible absurd and unjust rul ings of the boaftt" They ask that the present ordinance be modified so that the question of the propriety or Impropriety of a film may finally be Judged by a Jury "reflecting- the av erage Intelligence of the community. It Is not necessary for signers of the petitions to be registered voters. The petition is merely a demonstra tion to be presented to the mayor and comissioners asking for im mediate relief. No Initiative petl tlons to the people can be put for ward until the June election of next year. The full petition will be pre sented to the commissioners early next week. LARGEST NAVAL BILL IN WORLD BEFORE SENATE (ContlBued From Page One.) have its anti-government armorplate propaganda printed as a "public docu ment." Senator Penrose had obtained unanl mous consent for the printing. Senator Reed of Missouri, arriving later, attacked the senate's action bit teriy and engaged in a heated personal controversy with Penrose and his col league, Oliver. Venator Reed assailed Senator Pen rose ror naving made the volume a public document so it can be franked through the malls. An outside company can't frank matter unless a senator cooperates by lending his frank," objected Senator Smith of Georgia. 'That very practice Is going on now. and on a large scale," declared Over man, warmly. "It's Illegal, but the mails are being piled with seedstuffs for private firms, sent free." Points Oat Pennsylvanlans. "Yes, and I .can guess the two sen ators who will help the Bethlehem company," said Reed, looking toward Senators Penrose and Oliver of Penn sylvania. In the heat of the debate over the in dividual case. Senator Overman's gen eral charge was Ignored. Bitter fighting raged over the Beth- lehem steel matter. Senator Penrose had obtained unanimous consent for its printing before Senator Keed ar rived. The latter attempted to re verse the action. Reed pointed out that once the docu ment became public. It could be printed in any amount at cost In the government plant and ' sent free through the mails; and further that "such garbled and partial excerpta of the. document as the company chooses," can be franked as easily as the whoie document. Both Called to Order. Reed charged that Senator Oliver in bis attempt to defeat the armorplate amendment had been legislating "into his own pocket." "A senator who will make that statement is unworthy of a place on MOTION PICTURES Both were called to order. , "The lack of patriotism of tnl company Is proved within the covers of its volume," said Reed. "It offers to sell armorplate for 155 a ton less than It ever has for J years, despite a statement in our pamphlet that both labor and material are higher today than ever before." halted State Wavy to Be Second. The general naval bill, directing im mediate construction of four dread natiEhta and four battle cruisers of the meet modern type, came up for the J senate's final approval today. j With the nroporuonaie nomoer i acout cruisers, destroyers, submarines and aircraft, this program will coat for the first year $115,000,000. At the end of three years, tne ume set for completing the program, tne United States will have added 167 war vessels of all types, and will have, in th oolnlon of United States experts, a navy superior to any other except Eng land. The cost of the three years' pro gram will be $588,180,678 for vessels alone. The terms of the senate Dm. however, have yet to meet the approval of the house. Swanaon Predicts nooeas. Senator Swanaon, in charge of the J i i U. measure, expecting opposition m mo house, has conducted a quiet campaign organizing the "big navy" forces for several days. He predicted today that, although there will be a warm contest. the house finally would adopt a meas ure similar to the senate. In addition to the naval program. the bill provides a government ownea armor plate plant and the equipment of ton navy yards Puget sound, Bos ton, Philadelphia and NorrolK ror me construction of battleships. Exceeds England's Big Bill. While some of these warships are to be built In government yards, it Is ex pected that the armor plate plant will not be flnlshtd in time to furnish ma terial for any of the present program. The bill also provides that line of ficers of the navy hereafter shajl be promoted by competition and selection rather than by seniority, and for many reorganizations within the navy department. The largest previous naval bill was for $260,000,000 by Great Britain In 1814-1015. SERVICE MUST PROVE MEASURE OF PARTY'S SUCCESS TO COUNTRY (Continued From Pge One.) of you, bear commissions from the present administration. That sets me free to say some things that I might not otherwise. Knit Deserve Confidence. "There's only one way of holding the confidence of the American pub lic, and that is by deserving it, and I know by my intercourse with th post master general, his single object has been to make the postoffiee of more service to the people of the United States than it has ever been before. "I have no Interest in the political party except as an Instrument of achievement. I cannot imagine how a man can be interested in a party that has not aspirations and a program to be worked out. I Inherited my Democ racy. But it wouldn't stay In my blood long If the red corpuscles did not have something to do. And if the Democratic party will bear all Its ef forts to understand the United States and serve It, it will be continued In power so long as it practices that de votion." C Selfishness Kills Servloe. Declaring that selfishness was the separates men into camps. Mr. Wilson said that the United States "is now one of the few countries in which lines of hostility are not drawn." "In no other country are processes of peace so free to move as In Amer ica," he continued. The president declared that In every community the postoffiee is "the con spicuous gauge and standard of what the government is doing for the peo ple." Government Must Be Tint. "The administration will be Jueged by you the whole spirit of public service judged by you. he told the postmas ters, "so yon gentlemen are custodians of honor and distinction, not only of the party you represent, but the gov ernment you serve. You are good Democrats in that proportion that you love the government more than you do yourselves. j "The word "noble' we never apply to a man who thinks first of himself. That ought to be the spirit of govern ment, of government service. How a man can sleep at night whose con science is not clear as to the purposes for which he uses public office I can not see. i "The message I would bring tonight is: 'Let us band ourselve together and let us prove to the people of the United States that we understand what they want and are ready to do It bet- 1 ter than. anybody else they can find." vCopyrif M tei. jCTm.
