E. F which was written by Corporal 'Milton Kephart, a Marion county boy among tho last of the American troops in the zone of occupation. Chateau Thierry, July ' 18. A year ago this morning the Yanks of the 2tith division crawled out. of their rock pilea and fox notes in the Boia de Bel leau and 'began an attack on the Ger- mons twenty minutes ahead of the rest of Foch's great counteroffensive. iJown the gentle slope they went to ward the village of Belleau and to the ridge beyond. A few minutes later, bodieg of wounded and dying dotted the ground in numbers almost like fresh shell holes but the survivors swept on and took Bclleou and later with the aid of the Third division got hill 204, the keystone of the German hold on Chateau Thierry. Flag Floats Over Cemetery Today, I visited the new cemetery at the eastern edge of the Bois de Bel leau overlooking the field of that at tack. There under the forest were big white crosses and the Stars and Stripes floating high on a flag pole, whale in the center lie the New England boys who were shot down a year ago today, aa well as the marines who paid the cost in blood at Belleau Wood. . Upon tho fields to the eastward that were white under the brilliance of the ihurning gun rested an awesome silence. In all the extent, the only human be ings visible were a score of unguarded German prisoners just outside the vil lage ef Belleau. listlessly piling hay. All stopped work to stare at the party of visitors." Perhaps two third of the field is covered with rippling wheat and fresh haycocks. Tho rest is untill ed, overgrown with wasted grass and weeds and splotched with white patch es of shell holes. Walking through the hay stubble, I discovered how labor ious must have been the cultivation. The. ground remained' broken gnd un even. Splinter of steel and chunks of shell lay on the surface like rock in a Vermont pasture with here and there a human ibone. ' AMERICAN DRY f ORCES INVADES GREAT BRITIAN London (By Mail). British 'dry" forces, roinf orced by the Anti-Saloon League of America, are completing their plans, and marshalling their " sturmtruppen " for a mighty offen sive commencing this Fall. And Johnny Bull is sitting up and watching with considerable interest uncertain wheth er he ought to be amused, scared or angry. Immediately the lid went on in the United States William E, ' 'Pussyf oot " Johnson, ''Fiold-Marshal Commander-in-Chief" of America's "dry" army, established a branch G. II. Q. in Lon don, and proceeded to show iota, pro hibitionists just how to wago wte on booze. Hitherto although there hart been an occasional prohibition move ment in Great Britain, the ''drys" bad made very little headway the only real ly prominent ninn identified with thT movement being the late Sir Wilfrid Lawson, who aroused controversy some years buck by emptying his inherited wine-cellars down the drains. . Prohibition was represented in Eng lnnd by the United Kingdom Alliance, but the organization was not well equip ped with funds, and was so out of date in its methods thut tho 'wets" ceased to regard its members as anything more dangerous -than "bun-wallahs" a strange sect who participated in orgies of tea-drinking Hnd bun consumption. But ,I,usHyfoot" Johnson has changed all this. Canon Masternian president of the II. K. A. recently visited America to find out how the ''wets" there had been overwhelmed. Ho fixed up an al liance with the Anti-Haloon league with the result that another A. E. F. was soon on the high seas. Johnson - established himself quietly in Fleet Street the home of news papers and publicity, but o skillfully were his opening moves made that he succeeded in avoiding attracting atten tion for some months. Then he disclos ed hmiself. It would be rah to sug gest that he captured the powerful Northcliffe Press, but it pays much for his generalship and tactics that he managed to secure a magnificent ad vertisement out of a hostile organiza tion. Lord Northcliffe 'a papers discovered his presence and taking up the role of Dickens' Fat Hoy, the Daily Mail proceeded to make Johnny Bull's flesh creep with Jfngthy stories of "Pussy foot's" aims, antecedents methods and chances of success. J. Bull was slightly amused, but as the whole Northcliffe artillery the Times Weekly Dispatch, Evening News, Dnily Mirror and others joined in the attack British ''wets" began to realize that they must get busy. A big defensive campaign was opened and hair-raising stories ( ( American prohibition methods weio published stories of Machiavellian conning, hys terical campaigning, r':id Napoleonic victories. The ''wots" toarfully appeal ed to that much criticized autocrat, the British Workinig Mwi to repudiate the sponsors of grape jiiire and similar ''soft" drinks wit'-i fantastic names. They reminded bii.i of his old war-cry ''Damn his eyes, whoever he tries to rob a poor man of his beer." And they suceeed in musing Mr. B. W. M. sit up and think "there might bo something in it." Meanwhile the much disewsed ''Pus syfoot' Johnson, satisfied with bis first Bellcan Wood is much as the ma rines made it when the iNew Kn gland ers left it a year ago. A mass of qplinr tered tree trunus have fallen down oa piles of huge boulders. Contrary to the artist's conceptions at Louie, Belleaa .Wood contains only small and medium sized trees and these are taiekly mat ted. Most of them are dead now a the result of tho terrible splintering they received. Most of the dugouts have fallen in but the line of holes which took the place of trenchca in the fight in? are still visible. However,. X was shocked to discover an area of two or three acres which had been cleared up, the broken- trunk had been cut into firewood and neat-' ly corded while the dobrs had been tak en away much ehanging the appear ance. A while ago it was the talk that the American government wonld buy tins, wood and preserve it as it was lctt in the wake of the battle for tourists to see. If this is still ia view, steps must lie taken soon- or the whole wiD look aa does this clearing. Since last 1 saw the wood in February, many thing tnat remaiuetl artor ihe battle have been removed ns souvenirs. Still thre is an abundance of fragments of Ger man unuorms, heaps of cartridge ibelt where the machine guns played and somo other relies of the- battlefieldt uNone of these will be left, I nredictj for next year tourists invasion nnlesa a guard is mounted. Villages Gaunt Wrecks All the Americans have been trans ferred from the dugout and shell hol graves to the cemetery. A few Ger man graves remain; some are carefully marked and tended while others aro barely distinguishable and there is one , that exposes the bones of the occu pant to the gaise of the curious. Tbe villages of Bouresches, Terey Had Bel leau expose a gaunt wreckage to view, all the more so for having had som broken Btonc, plaster, house furnial ing shovelled out of the ruins into long piles beside the highway. Seeing 'them is like, viewing skeletons. Only two or three civilians are in sight. 1 BelleauI raw only GcTman prisoners wandering singly, absorbed at looking at the ruin there, perhaps searching for some overlooked treasure. Where a year ago the .battle surge and roared, today was stillness am) -death upon the scarred countryside. demonstration, had departed for Fin-, land to organize an offensive in north ern Europe but he left a promise to re tur In the fall. The full weight of the counter-offensive accordingly fell upon the poor old United Kingdom Alliance which "frightfully bucked" by tho prominence given to its aims, and the promise of solid tupport from American ''drys'' nevertheless wilted before tho storm of protest. The announcement that many leading American temperance orators are on their way to England to take part In the fray gava the "wets'' a popular battle-cry, with the Inevitable warning "Hands, off, America, Mind your own . interference ' or words to that effect. The U. K. A. hurried forward with a flat denial but investigations pmveit conclusively that tho Anti-Saloon Lea- ' gue had volunteered to pay expenses their orators. In. any event "Pussyfoot" Johnson has Made a remarkably good start. Moreover, he has arrived at the, most favorable "possiblo moment. V'ar-timo drink restrictions are being grndually primed down, but everybody agreea that a return to the pro-war hours for saloon opening and tho sale of intox icants Ik impossible and undesirable. On the other hand British workers, and in fact the British people sb a wh ile, are fond of a glass of beer. They 'o't need fancy drinks but they will have beer.
