Marion County Boys Tell Of
Belleau field on Anniversary
Of Battle Which Opened Drive
Just how' Belleau Wood, the scene
of the opening battle of General Forks
great drive of last summer, appears to
day is vividly described in the follow
iag -article reprinted from the ' Stars
and Stripes, efficial paper of the A.
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

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

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

all the more so for having had som

long piles beside the highway. Seeing
'them is like, viewing skeletons. Only
two or three civilians are in sight. 1

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.

American temperance orators are on
