It is stated that the prosecuting I attorney made almost no objection to the motion.—Winamac Democrat.

STACKS HIS GRAIN.

A. R. Schultz, one of Jasper county’s must prosperous farmers, has stacked all of his grain. He had twenty atres of rye, thirty acres of wheat and seventy acres of oats. There are several very -great advantages in stacking grain. Bad weather does not damage it. The grain goes through the sweat in the stack and it is much more convenient to thresh. * Mr. Schultz reports that his daughter, Mrs. Clifford Hamacker, who was in the hospital here, is still very poorly and is in a Hammond hospital.

“WE SHALL GET THEM.”

'The slogan, • “They Shall Not Pass,” may now well be changed to, “We Shall Get Them.” F rank H. Simonds, special correspondent for the New York Tribune, makes this suggestion in a recent article, a part of which we herewith publish. Mr. Simonds is considered to be one of the very best war correspondents now writing on the war. ;

In 'the recent conflict, Germany lost more than a big battle, she lost more than the prestige of recent Ludendorffian successes, she lost the larger part of the advantages acquired by the Russian collapse, henceforth she will have neither, a superiority of numbers nor'the moral advantage due to the undisputed possession of the initiative. She is still strong enough to attack if she chooses, but each attack will invite a cfeunter-attack, and the more complete the failure of the counterthrust to achieve important results. Germany has, then, twice lost the war at the Marne. On both occasions she was too strong to permit her enemies to turn a considerable battlefield victory into a Jena or a Sedan. Gettysburg was and remains the best paralled in both cases. But the next time Germany attacks, if she does attack, the issues of the battle will be far different. The kaiser’s generals will be seeking a local success to exploit in the campaign for peace, which will begin the moment the campaign of 1918 comes to a close. We havp livec through the perilous period of the present year, we may suffer rude knocks before the campaign is over, but the visions of continental defeat, following the Picardy disaster anc the Aisne collapse, have vanished. The great period of strain is over. We have liquidated the Russian affair with a loss to ourselves in battles, territory and prisoners, which will seem ridiculously slight hereafter. As. at Verdun the alliet watchword will again change from “They shall not pass,” to the far more hopeful legenfl, “We shall get them.”

LLOYD JOHNSON WRITES TO HIS PARENTS

Killingholme, July 6, 1918. Dear Mother and Father and All: 1 have my work all done so I am going to take a few minutes to write a few lines. We are pretty well settled down now. I have my clothes all washed and straightened .up again. Our travels are over for a while. I saw quite a bit of England and some of the states, before I got settled. I take in Uli the sights I can. I never expected to see this country, but now that I am here I am going to try. and make the best of it. Pop, would like to gel a look at one of their engines over here. ’They are not much like our big locomotives. They have the cylinders under the boiler between the drive wheels and have no pilot of any sort on the front end. It makes them look like the front end had been shot off. The drive wheels have a fender over them something like an auto. They sure look queer, but they have quite a bit of speed.

Instead of having automatic couplers, they have a chain with three large links on one car and a hook on the other. When they couple up a train a fellow goes along and puts them on the hooks. Some of the cars have airbrakes and some just have a lever on the side that works on the same principle as a wagon brake, t Their coaches open on the side and are divided into small compartments largo enough to accommodate eight people. The seats are crossways of the car and have a door for each compartment. Their box cars are about fifteen feet long. A string of them looks funny going along the road. Their road-ibed is fine and they have a better system of laying rails than we do, I think. The Fourth of Jully was observec in several places in England and also in Fiance. We had a little celebration here. We had some field events, boxing matches and, of course, to make an ■American doings complete, we hac a ball game, a team of sailors from this station-and a soldier team played. It was a good game, the soldiers winning by a two to one score. The Americans competed with the British in the field events. The Americans got most of the points. The British won some of the dashes, ibut the Americans won the mile relay, also the broad and high jump. An American soldier broad jumped nineteen feet and three inches. The funniest thing of the whole affair was a cup fight. They took six men and blind folded them, put a boxing glove on one hand and a cup in the other and put them all in the boxing ring. They started to knock each other out. The man that stood up after all the others were knocked out got the prize. The way they located each other was by tapping on the floor with their cups. Whenever they thought they were close enough to any one to smash them one, they would swing. Sometimes they would get a fellow and sometimes there would be no one hear. They sure looked funny going around tapping with their cups and swinging. The crowd just roared while that was going on. The English don’t understand our ball games very well, but they are interested in them. They go quite excited the other day. I heard one say that, it wouldn’t be long till they would be playing ball all oyer England. You know cricket is their great game. Of course the war is on and something had to be done, but all the boys that could be spared got to see the events. I had agood job so . got to see all of them. I am planning to have tome work done on my teeth as soon as the dentist gets his instruments and gets ready for business. I drew some dungeres the other day so I don’t have to work in my blues any more. I don’t think I will have to get any quite a while unless it is shoes. How are Bill and Sis? Where did they go the Fourth? Next I want to know how mother and the turkeys are getting along? Hope you have good luck with them for sometimes the navy has turkey for Christmas dinner. Tell Pop he might stick in a line or two in the next letter about the crops. I am interested considerable in the oats crop, because oatmeal is one of our standbys. Well I can’t -think of any more this time. One of the boys said he would be writing all the time if he could write this much. It is hard to write when there is so much you can’t say, but I think I have kept within the limits. Write when you can. Your son and brother. LLOYD JOHNSON, Q. M. A., U. S. Air Station, Killingholme, care Postmaster, N. Y. .

FRENCH MOTHER’S LETTER TO THE AMERICAN WOMEN

The committee on public information issues the following: Mrs. Wilson permits publication oi the following letter as illustrative of the viewpoint of the mothers of France: • , Madame Woodrow Wilson, Washington, D. C. M'adame; It is from the mothers and women of France that I send you these words to prove our gratitude for the comforting and brotherly suport that these young Americans bring us with such noble enthusiasm, who are not afraid of leaving their families, their country, and their hopes to come to our rescue.

Tell them, those mothers, those women with the sublime hearts, how n#ar we are to them in thought, and how moved we are at their sacrifice. They are our sisters through suffering and agonizing worries and we are brought together through the same sorrow.

WAR SUMMARY.

The crisis in the allied offensive on the Soisson-Rheims salient apparently has been reached. , French troops have entered a °**‘ son, the western anchor point of the salient, and all along the thirty-six miles from Soissons to Tillois, three miles west of Reims, French, American and British troops have pushed in the enemy front and sent thte Germans back in precipitate retreat. The plains behind the northwestern portion of the. battle front are dominated by the allied big guns; in the south the French and Americans are encroaching upon the Firmes railway, while on the east the British and French are almost astride the Reims-Soissons railway and have their guns so placed that the enemy is sure to be sorely tried. How far the retreat of the Germans will go cannot be forecast, but it is not improbable that they may be compelled to take refuge north of the Aisne. Numerous towns and hamlets have been captured by the allied troops. So. of Soissons the entire Crise river has been forded; northeast of Fere-en-Tardenois the alliM line has been pushed well to the west of the region of Grand Rozoy and the town of Saponay has beep taken. *ln the center the Nesles wood is bsing swept clean of Germans by the French cavalry, and Americans and French troops are pressing the Germans hard north of Sergy and Nesles. 1 Further eastward, almost the gates of Reims, in addition to Thillois, the village of Ville-en-Tardenois is in allied hands and the French now are on the heels of the enemy two and a half miles north of the Dor-mans-Reims high road over a front of nearly four miles.

THE O THER SIDE OF GOVERNMENT MANAGEMENT

Fvpfv warm spell this season has bee ”SpSle V heavy tarn hogs in transit and claims are P 11 '"? up in consequence. Cool averted what would have been:a ca lamity, as the hogs are heavy and succumb readily. that even the usual / for sprinkling hogs at division points are not provided this year and that much of the-loss that has occurred was avoidable. Since transportation lines passed out of private control service has deteriorated and as it is the policy of the railroad administration not to allow claims owing to failure to make the market or for shrinkage, many suits are threatened. The federal control act contemplates that suits may be brought as heretofore, but provides that executions may not be levied on the property of the carrier while in possession of the government. Shippers expected that an increase in freight rates implied that their experience has been the reverse. Poor service and higher rates will have the effect of forcing shippers to take the short route to market. —.Breeders Gazette. A wounded soldier asked what had surprised him most in the battle zone.-told of finding a robbin’s nest in an empty shell case.

Summer Complaint.

. During the hot weather of the rammer months some member of almost every family is likely to be troubled with an unnatural looseness of the bowels, and it is of the greatest importance that this be treated promptly, which can only be done when the medicine is kept at hand. Mrs. F. F. Scott, Scottsville, N. Y., says: “I first used CJhamberlain’s Colic and Diarrhoea Remedy as much as five years ago. At that time I had a severe attack of summer complaint and was suffering intense pain. One dose relieved me. Other members of my family have since used it with dike results.” C
