Pershing's Tt ibute to Troops WITH THE AMERICAN ARMY IS FKAXCK, Tuesday, Aus. 7. (I3y the Associated Press), tleneral John J. Pershing, commander In chief of the American army In France, has issued the following order: "It fills me wfih pride to record in general orders a tribute to the service achievements of the first and third corps, comprising the First, Second, Third, Fourth, Twenty-sixth, Twenty-eight, Thirty-second and Forty-second divisions of the American expeditionary forces. "You came to this battlefield at a crucial hour for the allied cause. For almost four years the mos; formidable army the world has yet seen had pressed its Invasion of France and stood threatening its cap ital. At no time has that army been more powerful and menacing, than when, on July 15, it struck again to destroy in one great battle the brave men opposed to it, and to enforce" its Orutal will upon the world and civilization. . "Three days later, in conjunction with our allies, you counter at tacked. The allied armies gained a brilliant victory that marks tiio turning point of the war. You did more than to give the allies the support to which as a nation our faith was pledged. You proved that our altruism, our pacific spirit and our Rense of justice have not blunt ed our virility, or our courage. i "You have shown that American initiative and energy are as fit for the tasks of war as for the pursuits of peace. You have justly won unstinted prais from our allies and the eternal gratitude of our coun irymen. "We have paid for our success with the lives of many of our brave comradef We shall cherish their memory always and claim for our history and literature their bravery, achievement and sacrifice.

Oniy three persons out side the regular attaches were known to be in the store at the time the wal let was taken and from the descrip tion of the three Chief Timothy at once decided on the one who had com mitted the crime. His sumiNe was correct as some time later he had placed Hammond under arrest and had recovered if'15 of the stolen m:ney. The boy is thought to have cnncealcd the rest of it about town somewhere. Hammond is crippled from a stroke of paralysis received in infancy, and is known to be feeble minded.

Kdison Marshall, the Medford author who is serving In the ord nance department of the army and is stationed at a camp near Augusta, (a., had a close call from bpin: stnuk by lightning one day last week. As it was he was shocked and knocked down. He was seated In front of his tent during a thunder shower when all of a sudden there was a flash of light ning And he was knocked - to the ground from his seat. When ho arose lie saw badly shocked soldiers being carried from his row of tents to wait ing ambulances. It seems that the lightning bolt only struck along this row. One soldier was killed, but the others were only shocked. A peculiar feature of the episode was that a soldier was standing lean, ing against a telegraph pole with Ms bare arm about the pole when the lightning struck a treo across the company street and left a perfect image of the tree imbedded upon his arm.
