WOES OF FRANCE ROUSE REGULARS AGAINST KAISER

Hatred of German Ruler Shown by American Soldiers Abroad. By DANIEL DILLON WITH THE AMERICAN EXPEDITIONARY ARMY IN FRANCE. July 6 (Passed by the Censor). At the nd of the first week of the American expeditionary array in France one fact tanda out above all others: America must send men a million men. Food conditions in France are. if anything, better than they had been reported to be. - There is a sufficiency or food supplies, though to say there is plenty would be exaggerating. Widow people this land. Mourning ia the national costume. The spirit of the people is indomitable, but weary. "We have done our duty to our home country, to the world, to democracy," they say. "Let America now serve." . Troops Catch Spirit The American troops have caught the spirit that comes from a true understanding of the situation. No hatred is shown by our troops to the German war prisoners; only pity. But the woes of France are invoking a deep-rooted ire against the Kaiser. Our men seem to grasp what thev are fighting for and ae resolved to triumph. O.ir casualties will be heavy. This country must be prepared for terrible losses. - The administration details are being conducted admirably. Many here predict that the Americans, with their characteristic spirit of initiative, will surpass even the Canadians in successful trench warfare. Indications are that our troops will i at the front sooner than was calculated. Tfcey are needed to stimulate the Allies' offensive.

Conscripts, Who Weren't Included in Yesterday s "List " Unhappy

There was rejoicing in many homes in Richmond Friday while in others there was gloom. And it was all caused by the reports received Thursday afternoon by a local brokerage firm that the first drawing bad been made for the conscript army. A list or numbers purporting to be the numbers of the men conscripted was received and many holders of the numbers lost their I'breath for several minutes asking, "I wonder if it s true! Later they learned that it was not true and that the drawing would probably be made July 16 or later. But the ones who believed that they had been "passed up" were sorely disappointed when they learned that the reports were untrue. ' Ones who held the -numbers-reeeived by the local Secretary of State Resigns to Enter , Officers' Reserve INDIANAPOLIS, July 6. Edward Jackson, secretary of state, tendered his resignation to Governor Goodrich. He plans to enter the second officer's reserve training camp. In his letter Mr. Jackson said that he desired to tender his resignation effective August 22 on the condition that he is accepted as a member of the second officer's reserve training camp. Should he fcr any reason not bo accepted as a member of the camp, the governor, it wat said today, will not consider the resignation. After Mr. Jackson s action, it became known the name of Pliny W:olfard, of Newcastle, now deputy secretary of state was mentioned as the most probable to be named by the governor to fill the vacancy. Mr. Jackson said he had been making addresses in many parts of the state urging men to prepare for war. He asserted he felt it is his duty to take similar action himself. EAST BEATS WEST IN TOURING ACCOMMODATIONS. SAYS RICHMOND TOURIST George C. Wall, Richmond insurance man, who has just returned from a four week':-, automobile tour of the East, is much impressed by the courtesy and care with which the East greets tourists. He thinks the East beats the West on condition of roads, signs, and touring conditions generally. .. "Every city and town had neatly painted street signs, telegraph poles were painted white, and any obstructions were whitewashed. As we aproached the west end of Ohio, conditions got worsts" says Mr. Wall. Tho trip covered 1,700 miles.

MURRETTE Douglas Fairbanks, appearing at the Murrette theatre in his second, personally supervised Artcraft production, "Wild and Woolly," is a close student of the West He is almost a fanatic on the elose-to-nature idea of living and claims that a trip into the mountains always acts as a mental tonic on him The story of "Wild and Woolly" took him to Arizona anti in the language of the smiling Douglas, he "lived every minutes of the scenes taken there. It was in Arizona that he became friend ly with a cattle owner on the Bar X ranch. Both being ardent admirers of the late Jim Kidd, one of the most famous of cow-boys, many tales of great interest were related. "Jim was a remarkable type of plainsman and cowpuncher," said the. popular Artcraft Star in admiration of the cow-boy. He was quite as interest ing a character as Roosevelt, in fact he was much like the Colonel in many respects."
