JAMES WHITCOMB RIL.EY- CASUALTY LISTS VE are beginning; to receive the casualty lists from the heavy fighting: on the Marne and other French battles. A few days ago a to tal of 706 casualties were an . nounced for the day. We are told that this is no indication of the total number of casualties. The lists are made public as they are received in Washing ton by cable from General Pershing's headquarters. As the list are received they are decoded and the next of kin are notified by the adjutant general's office in advance of the publication of the names in the press. The fact that so many casu alties are made public in i single day does not indicate that number is to be taken as the daily average to be expect ed, and there should be no spe- ulation on any such basis. Gen eral Pershing will supply com plete and verified lists as rap idly as they can be prepared and transmitted. . . These in turn will be given to the news papers and will speak for themselves as to numbers. The losses reported and to come will bring sadness to many homes. But personal grief will be tempered by the righteousness of the cause in which thsse brave men have given themselves, and by th pride which all free people take in the magnificent results of their heroism. grouse season the 15th, and of course they are looking for ward to some fun shooting Chinas. 4 France has forbidden the use of rice powder for the face. That's right. Shoot it at the Huns. Don't believe any rumors that the crown prince, or any other son of William, has been captured. The crown price uses a tactical movement that makes his capture practically impossible. When the army is advancing or standing still in battle he remains five or .10 miles in the rear and then, when the army about-faces to retreat, he is in the lead. ... You know what Sherman Lsaid about war. What d'you s'pose he would have said about a German peace? ........ No better commentary on the mischeviousness of Lord Lansdowne's recent open let ter urging immediate discus sion of peace with the Ger mans can be found than in the fact that his utterances have received hearty praise in Berlin. Today is the 20th anniver sary of the capture of Manila by the American doughboys and in rememberance of the occasion the Spanish war vet erans in Pendleton will gather at the Christian church with their families to spend the evening in talking over the days of 20 years ago. In those days they had a part in the making of history as other fendleton boys are doing in France today. ..... fr bCSw f Vt fc WaK i ti a A -t . -i.v. j- z yS1,, ,f,- lilii " I . r. un!.-a PER CENT. j AVeetabterrcparationfcr tinothc-SiomscnsandDWCoa Mill bjaaasafflra Thia official photoeraph. token on the British front, shows a supply train crossing: a pontoon bridge over the Marne river and goes to prove that somewhere ahead the alllon uro push ing the Hermans back in what Is probably developing Into the greatest battle of Uie war.

All organizations, including government agencies, are cooperating in this work, the Red Cross supplying the greater part of the food and clothing needed, and at many points taking command of the situation. An idea of the amount of merchandise thus distributed can be gained from a message from Major Perkins recently received.

(By Maximilian Foster.) A churchgoer of the ordinary, old fashioned kind would be a bit puz zled, no doubt, If he were to see the way the American army In France observes the Sabbath day. Sundays over here are not the same sort one is accustomed to at home. Even the most religious among our fighting men have widened In their views re garding the Sabbath. Understand, now, this does not mean that our boys have grown un godly. It is the very opposite, rath er. The first thing that Impresses the newcomer, in spite of what he may have heard at home. Is the strik ing decency and wholesomenesa of this host of young Americans. France in fact, has marvelled at our soldiers' self-restraint; for no matter what history has had to say of other great bodies of armed men, our boys have conductd themselves in a way . to make their mothers proud. So, even though It be said that their attitude toward Sunday has altered, this does not mean far from it, indeed that It has altered for the worse . It means merely that among them Sun day Is not devoted entirely to reli gious observances. "All Work Slakes Jack Dull Iloy The fact is all work and no play may make Jack not only a dull boy but may make him a vicious one as v.ell. On Sundays, therefore, those Interested in the spiritual welfare of our soldiers give them, besides texts. good bit of wholesome amusement. A couple of Sundays ago. for exam pie. the writer saw a well-known preacher from the states umpiring a baseball game. Strange as this may sound to some. It requires only moment's thought to figure the prac tical good he was doing. Near the camp was a long row of buvettes and cheap cafes, each of them offering other less wholesome attractions. There was not an American soldier In one of them. Disabuse your mind of the idea that our soldier boys are wandering footloose in France, ready to fall for every temptation. They're not. And If these Sundays over here are not what you think they should be don't Imagine that ungodliness has cursed our army. It hasn't. Here, If you like Is a picture of one Sabbath day In France. Picture of One, Sablwth Day In Franc The place Is up In the I.uneville sector. That Sunday the sun was shining, glowing down wth a dazzling radiance on the flowering fields and hills behind the lines. Out In front, a bare three kilometers away, was the ugly, scarred zigzag of the front line trenches, the one blemish on the landscape as far aa the eye could see. Hut never mind about that. Here, less than a half mile from that blighting cicatrice, the birds were singing in the coppices. Nearby, the utile town, hardly more than a vll lake and now battered by the Hun's oombs and shells, lay peaceable and Quiet in the. morning air. Presently one heard a burst of song, that good old hymn, "Rock of Ages Cleft for ie. It rose on the quiet, probelled from a hundred or more sturdy lungs. The source of It was a Y. M. A. hut, now tenanting what once naa Deen a blowsy drinking place. In side morning seryices were going on. War Imposes New Duty. The leader of the services was a former Buffalo. N. Y.. real estate and Insurance man. He was not a preach er, he never had. been one, but the war had Imposed on him this new duty. The services were brief, but they were earnest. The roomful of sturdy stout-lunged American hoys Put heart and soul into the song they sang. After they had finished it. the ex tempore pastor gave them, a little talk. There was nothing smug about It. nothing mealy-mouthed. it was Just a hlng-bang sort of an allocu tion such as one might have heard In athletic-field dressing room be tween the two halves of a 'varsity football match. You had the feeling that you wanted to cheer when the speaker finished. But the congrega tion didn't cheer. In a brisk, busi nesslike way It hunted ui another hymn, and went at it hammer and tongs, putting energy and vim and wholeheartedness Into the way it got the song across. About its earnest ness one had no doubt. Prayer Straight from .Shoulder. A prayer followed. There was no rhetoric In that praj'er, but It was straight from the shoulder. It was the sort of direct simple plea anv good real estate Insurance nmn from uuffalo would make when he real ized he was carrying a full line of in demnity with his creator. Any of them, the "Y" man included, might "go west" pass out ere the day was gone. - They all knew it. too. bnells had a way of drounlne round that town with a reasonable degree of nearness and frequency to make any umn reriect on tne hereafter. How ever, after the prayer there was in. other hymn, that good old rouser. Onward. Christian Soldiers." Then chocolate and Cbewlnar Gum . ,-. . i . .

A moment later. ne saw the Insurance man. relieved from his spiritual duties, dinoensins hocolate, chewing gum and cigar ettes at the other end of the hut. These were the morning's religious services. At one o'clock, the Inmr. nee man was at It again. Chanel in Natures World. His chapel now had moved from the former buvette to a bigger, more commodious temple Nature's world of out-of-doors. The writer was a silent. Interested observer. Out on a nearby hillside, the insurance man snt down. Presently boys in khaki began to appear on the slopes. They came singly. In pairs, by the half doz en; bronzed-faced, strapping, straight limbed fellows, all very serious as they climbed the slope. The Insur ance man was reflectively chewing a blade of grass. Each newcomer, as ho arrived, squatted down on the turf. Stipll Snarl During Service. On the back slope of an adjoining hill an American battery had opened up. Every now and then It would lob a "15 over the crest toward the Herman lines. It was curious to hear that detonation, queer to hear, too. the ripping snarl of the shell as It lunged by toward Ha target. But the congregation on the hillside was used to hearing such processionals to its Sabbath ceremonies. One and all. those boys paid heed only to the In surance man and what he had to sny. :-t,t Ulul"'' .nrr-H.hK Cheerfulness ana nesi-w.'--- MKn.no Km Moronuie""1 n """- i -- P Mineral.
