OUR SAMMIES MAKING The American troops in action, though small in number, as compar ed with' the seasoned forces of the Allies, are making splendid show ings every day. Though our boys are the rookies of this war, they show as splen did dash as any of the veterans. They are living up to the traditions of their country. What they have taken at Catigny they have held. What they have taken on the Marne they still possess. The Germans are strengthening their lines around Toul, fearing further raids and perhaps a ma, or attack from the troops fighting underUhe Stars and Stripes. ' ' I The seasoned fighters, who have been in the thick of the car nage for three or four years, stop to witness the dashing "work of the Amex troops, as they are called a$rbng the soldiers of the Allies. There are great days ahead of the men from the greatest Republic who are on the field of honor to make the world safe for democracy and honest and decency. Another commencement week for Old Willamette is on. The hon ored institution with which Salem was cradled is doing great work, despite the fact that a very large percentage of her young men are with the American troops in France. Willamette has a glorious his tory, and she may confidently look forward to a great future.

The snake was in turn attacked and destroyed by a skunk, and the skunk was killed by two Hun soldiers nam- ed Burchard and Wezel Hohenxoliern who skinned him and used his car cass to perfume their clothing.

When the gray-clad cadets of the United States Military Academy line up on the field at West Point to morrow, for the annual graduation exercises, they will receive their di plomas from the secretary of war under conditions more sober and Im pressive than have ever before at tended a commencement at that far famed institution. Instead of receiving the customary assignments to this or that regiment of infantry or cavalry or artillery, to be stationed at a military post in the United States or one of Its insular possessions, the members of tha West Point class of 1918 will. In all probability, pass from the academy routine of study and drill into the real work of war. with the chances that a1 few months hence will find the most of the graduates of today actively "doing their bit" somewhere in France. Military critics and historians are agreed that efficiency of an army depends fully as much upon its of fleers as it does upon its fighting men.: If this be true, the value of the United States Military Academy as a military asset, in the present critical period of the nation's history. can not be overestimated, for there is no Institution of its kind in the world where a man can attain to a higher degree of military education and efficency than at West Point. West Point has been for upwards of ' half a century the leading mili tary academy in the world. Its meth ods have been in several instances adopted as a whole by foreign schools. The standard at the United States Military Academy has been, it is said, that toward which other schools have aimed. The history of the Institution is a record of con tinual, unceasing. Improvement in this respect. On more than one occasion In the past history of. the United States the highly beneficial effect of the com paratively few but well trained men from the West Point academy! baa been observed. , Generar: Wlnfleld Scott said: "I give it as my fixed opinion that but for our, graduated cadets the war between the United States and Mexico might, and' prob ably would, have lasted some four or five years. Wiihin its Hrst half more defeats than victories fell Into our share, whereas in leas than two campaigns we conquered a great country and a peace without the loss of a single battle or skirmish." Elibu Root, when secretary of war, said: "Since the declaration of. the war with Spain the faithful and ef ficient services of the graduates of the military academy at West Point have niore than repaid the cost cf the instiution since Its foundation. Brigadier General Henry Knox In 1776 was the first to suggest a mili tary school for the United States at the present site. His proposals were seconded by Alexander Hamilton an1 approved by George Washington, but they were not adopted in the form suggested until, by an act of con gress, approved In 1802, the presi dent was authorized to establish a military academy, which was for- mallly opened July 4 of that year. By the act of 1802 fixing the mil itary peace establishment, forty ca dets were attached to the artillery and ten' to the corps of engineers, and that corps was constituted a mil itary academy and stationed at West Point, the senior officer of engineers present being the superintendent thereof. This was the beginning of the pres ent military, academy, which Is now one of the finest and most complete in the world, and which has turned out such masters of the military art as Ulysses S. Grant, Robert E. Le3. Phil Sheridan. William T. Sherman. and a long list of others whose abil ities and achievements as soldiers have won world-wide fame. The success and development of the West Point academy owes much to General Sylvester Thayer, who was superintendent of the institution during the early period of Its devel opment, and whose statue now holds a prominent place in the West Point grounds. General , Thayer adminis tered affairs at the academy for six teen years and historians unite la asserting that to him more than to any other one man Is due the pres ent prestige of the academy. A WOSLIJI OF MILLIONS AND , MATRIMONY. ' When Mrs. Alfred Gwynne Vander bilt. widow of the widely known young millionaire ana - sportsmen who went down with the Lusltania, becomes the bride tomorrow of Ray mond T. Baker, director of the U. S. mint, It will be the third Ume she has passed up the rose-strewn path to the altar. Since Margaret Emerson-McKim Vanderbilt burst into national soci ety, as a girl not yet out of her teens, her career has comprised all the high lights that one woman could possibly crowd into a comparatively short life. As Miss Margaret Emerson, daugh ter of a wealthy drug manufacturer of Dal ti more, the young woman who Is to take her third plunge into ma trimony tomorrow was popular among the younger set of Baltimore, Washington. New York and Newport. She met her first husband. Dr. Smith Hollins McKIm, a young physician cf a prominent Baltimore family, when he accompanied the Emeraons as guest, physician and surgeon to tha party, on a yacht tour of the world. Upon the return of the yacht to this country their engagement was announced. The Emerson-McKim wedding In Recember, 1902. was one of the events of the year In Balti more, more than 1500 persons of social prominence from all parts of the country attending. In 1908 there came reports of their haveing separated, and Mrs. McKIm went with her father to Reno in the latter part of October. 1909. The following August she received her decree. On the same day It was re ported In Newport that she would marry ' Mr. Vanderbilt, fwho some time before had been divorced by his first wife, who was Miss Elsie French. These reports were denied at the time, and the denials were given sub stance by the departure of Mrs. Mc KIm for Japan Immediately after se Be Careful in Using Soap on Your Hair Most soaps and prepared sham poos contain too much alkali, which is very Injurious, as it dries the scalp and make the hair brittle. The best thing to use Is Just plain mulsified eocoanujt oil. for It Is pure and entirely greaseleea. It's very cheap, and beats the most expensive soaps c anything else all to pieces. You can get this at any drug store, and a few ounces will last the whole family for months. Simply moisten the hair with wa ter and rub It in. about a teaspoonful Is all that is required. It makes an abundance of rich, creamy lather. cleanves thoroughly, and rinses put easily. The hair dries quickly and evenly, and Is sift, fresh looking. bright, fluffy, wavy, and easy to han dle. Besides, it loosens and takes out every particle of dust, dirt and dandruff." curing her divorce. After her return from Japan abe lived! In Reno for a while, but in October, 1910, she went to New York. On the fame day that she left Reno Mr. Vanderbilt started for New York from Louisville, and the gossip started up afresh. Roth stayed at the Plaza hotel In New York, and they were inuoti'ln eaih other's company. The following May both were in London, and It was again reported they were about to wed. In the following fall, when both had returned to New York. there were again rumors of a wed ding. After all the reports that had been circulated about tbem the gossips were caught napping when Mr. Van derbilt and Mrs. McKIm. on Decem ber 17. 1911, quietly slipped away from London and were married at Retgate, In Surrey. When Alfred G. Vanderbilt fell a victim to the German program of "ruthless warfare." In 1915. his death left his young widow with an immense fortune at her disposal. Mr. Vanderbilt had Inherited the greater portion of the estate of his father, Cornelius Vanderbilt. When the will of the younger Vanderbilt was probated.lt was fcund that he had left an estate amounting to up wards of $50,000,000. The will made provision for the widow by leaving her $2,000,000 and the In come of $5.000,00 in trust, togeth er with the Vanderhllt estates In the Adlrondacks, and Gloucester Houso in London. The bulk cf the remain der of the vast estate was divided equally between the two Infant som by his second marriage. To William H. Vanderbilt. his son by his first wife. Mr. Vanderbilt left a trust fund of $5,000,000, and his country place near Newport. Raymond T. Baker, who Is to be come the third husband of Mrs. Em- erson-McKim-Vanderbilt. Is a real- dent of Nevada. He was made di rector of the mint by President Wil son about a year ago. Previously he had served several years as secretary of the American embassy at Petro- grad. The wedding is to take place at Hosewood. the country liome of the bride-elect at Lenox, In the heart of the Berkshire. While simplicity will be the keynote of the wedding, it will be attended 1y a number of guests of high station in social and public life. Mr. Baker has selected Key Plttman, United States senator from Nevada, to serve as his best man. I BITS FOR BREAKFAST I Wanted, badly, rain. Great days at Old Willamette. Ti V , "w v There are nine rural mall carriers out of Salem postofflce. Seven of them are now using automobiles. W After the first of July, the rural carriers wil hare an Increase of 20 per cent In their pay. and those who have routes over the regulation length of twenty-fire miles will hare something for the extra miles. The pay is now 1100 a month for twenty-fire mile routes and orer. The carriers hsre to furnish their own means of transportation. m The Germans hare taken some ground from the French in the latest phase of their great drive; but they have paid for it recklessly with the lives of their soldiers. But the American; and French fighters have gained more ground, and taken prisoners and thirty ma chine guns. And the British have straightened their lines. - In a magaxlne article.

He was a tall, good looking chap, with an air of ennui that sat oddly on his powerful frame. I felt sure that I would like Lillian Gale's husband as little as I did the woman herself.
