Mangin, who was in direct command of the allied forces in the drive against the German right flank south of Soissons, has issued the following order of the J day, thanking the American troops for their brilliant participation in the battle which caused the German retreat between the Marne and the Aisne: "Officers, Noncommissioned Officers and Soldiers of the Third Army Corps: "Shoulder to shoulder with your French comrades, you threw yourselves into the counter offensive begun on July 18. You ran to it like going to a feast. Your magnificent dash upset and surprised the enemy, and your indomitable tenacity stopped counter attacks by his fresh divisions. You have shown yourselves to be worthy sons of your great country and have gained the admiration of your brothers in arms. "Ninety-one cannon, 7,200 prisoners, immense booty and ten kilometers of re-conquered territory are your share of the trophies of this victory. Besides this, you have acquired a feeling of your superiority over the barbarian enemy against whom the children of liberty are fighting. To attack him is to vanquish him. "American comrades. I am grateful to you for the blood you generously spilled on the soil of my -country. I am proud of having commanded you during such splendid days and to have fought with you for the deliverance of the world."

U. S. Engineers Build Bridges . Under Heavy Fire From Germans

(By Associated Press.) WITH THE AMERICAN ARMY ON THE VESLE, Tuesday Aug. 6 The ; Germans appear to be determined not to permit American engineers to throw bridges across the Vesle and as a result several American officers have had thrilling experiences. The bridge builders had been eager to proceed with their work, despite the German fire and their officers have had to hold them back. Lieut. E. F. Hall, of California, on Tuesday was under cover with 60 men on the south bank awaiting a lull in I the German shelling in order to build a bridge. It was intended to build a footbridge on the foundations of a bridge destroyed by the Germans and then to put up a stronger structure. Rather than expose his men, Lieut. Hall carried two planks,, started out on an exploration trip by himself. The lieutenant reached the southern pier just as the German machine gunners commenced a heavy fire. This did not stop him. He tossed one plank into a temporary position and then put "he other in place from the south pier to the pier in the middle of the river. The enemy fire becoming warmer. Lieut. Hall jumped into the river and took cover on the north bank. Afterwards he recrossed to the south bank and rejoined his command amid cheers from the soldiers. At another point farther west of Fismes, Major R. B. Newcomber and Capt. James P. Growden, during daylight, felled a tree across the Vesle and crossed to the north bank. There they chopped down another tree which fell toward the southern bank. Soon afterwards they had completed a foot Red Cross Notes The Red Cross is making a shipment of Refugee garments and knitted articles. During the month of June more than 100 000 families of soldiers received help of some kind from the Home Service section of the American Red Cross. The total expenditure of money for relief is as near as can be estimated, $400,000. These estimates are based upon a compilation of figures made in the department of Civilian Relief at the National headquarters. Registrations for the Student Nurse's Reserve will be teceived at the Richmond Red Cross rooms Thursday evening, or any evening afterward until the registration is closed, from 7 to 9:30 o'clock. Applicants may register any afternoon from two to 5 o'clock. Twenty-five thousand student nurses are needed by the United States government. Register now.

GRAVES TO LEAD AMERICAN ARMY INTO SIBERIA Two Regiments of Regulars to to go From Phillipines as Vanguard of U. S. Forces. WASHINGTON, Aug. 8. First details of American military aid to be sent to Siberia for the protection of the rear of the Czecho-Slovaks forces in their movement westward against Germans, Austrians and hostile factions were made public Wednesday with the announcement by General March, Chief of Staff, that Major General William S. Graves will command the Americans, the nucleus of which will be two regiments of regulars from the Philippines. General Graves now is in command of the Eighth Division at Camp Fremont, Cal. The regiments to form the vanguard of the American contingent. General March announced, will be the Twentyseventh and Thirty-first. Colonels Stier and Taggart will be in command of the two regiments. The Philippine regiments are not now of war strength and aggregate probably not more than 2,500 men. Additional Troops to Follow. This force will be supplemented by additional troops from the United States, the number of which has not been revealed. The Chief of Staff said however, that the American force would not be a large one. In announcing the selection of General Graves to command the American forces General March took occasion to state that so far as he knew no Commander in Chief for the whole expedition had yet been designated. He recalled the fact that this could only be done by international agreement such as was found to be necessary to concentrate the supreme command of all the Entente and American troops in Europe in the hands of General Foch. From other sources it was learned that negotiations are now under way to this end and that the Chief of Staff of t'ae Japanese army. General Baron Uychara, has been suggested and his name is now under consideration as commander in chief. Wait Until They Arrive General March said the sailing of the

expedition or of General Graves will j not be announced, but that upon arrival of the forces the news will be j made public. It was not stated whether an announcement of the size of the American contingent may be expected. The Japanese force, in conjunction with the Chinese, who will act under Japanese direction, probably will be more numerous, in fact, Japan is preparing to send into Siberia any number of troops necessary to carry out the declared purpose to give effective aid to the Czecho-Slovaks. The object of the expedition is confined strictly to the announcement made recently by President Wilson through the State Department, the General added, and is not for the purpose of establishing an eastern front. bridge with the tree3' trunks as stringers. Newcomber and Growden had gone ahead of the bridge building gang to the position and when the gang arrived they found the work well started. The enemy discovered the footbride soon afterward and since has subjected it to a lively fire. GREENSFORK, IND. i Rev.

Randolph County is Century Old Saturday WINCHESTER, Ind., Aug. 8. The 100th anniversary of the birth of Randolph county will be celebrated here Saturday. The governor of the state a century ago appointed David Wright sheriff of the county and gave him the power to organize the county. He organized the county into two townships, Greensfork and White river. Eli Overman, Benjamin Cox and John James were chosen county commissioners. These three men met on the tenth day of July, 1818 at the cabin of Benjamin Cox near the White River Friends' church and made the permanent organization and the seat of justice at Winchester. Mf. Overman located the first court house. Paul Way was made county agent by the board. His duty was to "lay off" town lots in Winchester.

The county now has its third jail and court house. , Usefulness is the price of existence.

British !' Mystery Active Part

(By Associated Press) DONDON, Aug. 8. Interesting revelations regarding the work of British mystery ships which have played an Important part in anti-submarine warfare are made by the naval correspondent of the Times. They show how British seamen have met German craft and cunning with craft and cunning. Until this week, the public has known nothing about the mystery ships, known in the navy as the "Q" ships, although several officers, notably Capt. Gordon Campbell, have been decorated for their services on these vessels. Details now can be made public as the Germans, are becoming aware through bitter experience of the methods Used against them. , How a ''woman and baby" accounted for a U-boat is told by the correspondent. The submarine ordered a, vesBel to surrender and fired a few shells into her. The beats then left the ship, leaving on board a woman who ran up and down the deck with a baby in her arms as If mad. The U-boat came alongside the vessel and the woman hurled the "baby" Into the open hatch. The "baby" exploded and blew out the bottom of the submarine. The "woman" was decorated with the Victoria Cross. First Used in 1916. The correspondent says that the first mention of a mystery ship was in the case of the Baralong, which on Aug. 15, 1915, sank a U-bcat after the torpedoing of the British liner Arabic. It will be remembered, he says, that the German government protested that there was nothing to indicate the Laralong's warlike character. The Baralong was probably not the first case In which a ruse was used and since then the disguising of armed vessels as innocent merchantmen for dealing with submarines has attained considerable dimensions. "Howls and moans" adds the naval correspondent, "went up In Germany about the treachery of British seamen, but the German allegations curiously ceased at the beginning of 1916. These allegations afforded a typical example of German mentality for they ignored the fact that in every case the U-boat was an actual or potential assailant and any ruse of war is considered legitimate by them except when employed against Germany." Haystack Hides Guns. It should not be forgotten, he continues, that the Germans designed mystery ships for commerce destruction. The British commanders showed much ingenuity in devising plans for trapping submarines. In addition to the "woman and baby" the corre 8 TRACTORS USED IN DEMONSTRATION Eight makes of tractors were used at the tractor demonstration on the Thad Nichols farm near Centerville Wednesday.

Ships'' Play in War on U -Boats

spondent mentions the story of a retired admiral, serving as a captain, who placed a haystack on board an ancient looking craft! When the Uboat ordered her to surrender, the Germans were astonished to receive a broadside from the haystack. On another occasion a sea-worn tramp steamer was crossing the North Sea when a submarine ordered the crew to abandon ship. So sure was the German of his prey that the bombs with which he intended to sink the vessel were brought on deck around the conning tower. The commander of the tramp steamer by careful manoeuvring, brought the submarine with range of his concealed armjament so that it required only a shell or two to explode the bombs and blow the U-boat out of the water.
