OF AMERICAN TROOPS
Army Order Credits Them With Cap

ers.
With the French Army, Aug. 7. —
tAssociated Press) —General Mangiu
who was in direct command of the
allied forces in the drive against the j
German right flank south of Soissons.
has issued the following order of the
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 ollicers
and soldiers of the Third American
Army Corps:
“Shoulder to shoulder with your
French comrades, you threw your
selves into the counter-offensive be
gun 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 counterattacks by his fresh
divisions. You have shown your
selves to be worthy sons of your
great country and have gained the
admiration of your brothers in arms.
“Ninety-one cannon, 7,200 prison
ers, immense booty, and ton kilome
tres of reconquered 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 grate
ful to you for the blood you gener
ously spilled on the soil of my coun
try. I am proud of having comman
ded you during such splendid days
and to have fought with you for the
deliverance of the world.”

The Feeling of Assurance
that a bank account gives is worth many times the

this feeling of assurance plays such a large part in the

writer examination which is held on 1 *
Tuesday of each week, and I wish to ’
assure you of my appreciation of your .
hearty co-operation. ,
I The point tha; I desire to bring to ,
1 your attention at this time is the
I great need of stenographer and type
writer eligibles for appointment to
i positions in the Field Service. W ash
ington. D. C.. and a few other places
in the Fourth district. Many appli
cants are of the opinion that posi
tions in the Field Service, Fourth dis
i trict, will give them employment out
j side of Washington, D. C., only. The
.act of the matter is that since the
oeginning of the war, a large num
ber of Field Service positions have
been created ir. the District of Co
lumbia, and this office has been un
able to maintain registers ample to
meet the calls of the appointing offi
cers in the District of Columbia for
stenographers and typewriters. \\ e
have now a large number of calls
I which we are unable to fill and I
would like very much if you at this
time will give additional publicity
to the stenographer and typewriter
examinations foi positions in the
Field Service, Fourth district. There
are existing vacancies in stenographic
positions at Washington, D. C.. Bal
timore, Md.;Norfolk, \a., Havre tie
Grace, Md., and Richmond, Va., and
typist vacancies in these and other |
cities. These offer immediate pros
pects of appointment for all qualified
applicants. If possible, have items 1
placed in the local papers explaining
the urgent need of stenographer and
typewriter eligible* s for Field Service
positions both in the District of Co
lumbia and elsewhere. Kindly visit
the local business colleges and ex
plain to the teachers and students •
the excellent opportunities for ap
pointment at this time as stenogra
phers and typewriters. Field Serv ice. .
Hereafter, the two character vou
chers will not be required in connec- |
tion with applications for stenogra- j
pher and typewriter examinations.
Kindly advise me as to the pros- j
pects of securing applicants from j
your locality for the stenographer i
and typewriter examination. If the j
examination is not scheduled to be
held in your city or vicinity, arrange
ments can be made to hold it there,if |
the number of applicants warrant (
j such action. I will, therefore, thank !
| you to furnish the information re- i
quested as to prospective applicants, |

| taken to give publicity to this mat- :
iter. Would also thank you to mail

Bepoi-1 Finn* Wall Street Shows That j
Farmei-s, Like Other Business In- !

terests. Are Adopting Themselves j
To Changed Conditions.
The leading market influences at j
i 1 lie moment, perhaps, are war news j
and crop news. Both are distinctly j
bullish and the market must sooner ,
or later take better note of them. !
The crop outlook is for a $20,000,- j
000,000 harvest. A third of this i
: amount will be represented by wheat |
| and corn. The harvesting of wheat!
and oats is in lull sway, .'laying is ,
j being closed up, according to the j
! American Steel & Wire Company crop
reports. Early potatoes are being j
| dug. There is already talk of break- I
I ing ground for the 1919 wheat crop, j
! uue of the gratifying features is that j
in the West there is no great clamor j
of labor shortage. The farmers are j
showing a resourcefulness which |
their forefathers knew nothing |
about. Labor-saving machinery is
i counting big, also the labor of wo
men. Besides, the farmers them
selves are rising to the occasion. The
quality of work being done by farm
ers today is not at all to be compared
to that of five or ten years ago.
———o
To Mothers of Soldiers
!
“We Americans are more deeply
interested in the welfare of our men
in France than we are in anything
else —except, of course, the winning
of the war. So when the request
came from the War Work Council of
the Y M. C. A. that I visit the Army
in France and, as an outsider, study
this phase of their work, I gladly laid
aside all other matters and went,”
says Luther B. Gusick, President of
the Camp Fire Girls, in August Good j
Housekeeping. I was given every 1
| opportunity to form my own opinions I
and to see the real situation —from i
a port of entry to Paris, from Paris
to Toul, and from Toul through the
length of the American front line.
Most important information was
given to me by Brigadier General
Bradley in charge of all medical, sur
gical, and sanitary matters in the
American Expeditionary Force. Mr. ■
E. C. Carter, head of the Y. M. C. A- |
work in the armies of the Allies, \
made arrangements for such trips )
j and visits as I desired. Much time
j was given me by Dr. J. H. McCurdy
jin charge of athletics in the Ameri
can Army, and by Dr. George Mey-
I lan in similar relation to work in j
the French Army.
“First of all, I want to say right
out that the American youug men,or .
‘our boys,’ as we like to call them, j
stand a better chance of developing a !
strong, clean character and of keep
ing free from disease in the Ameri
can Array in France than they do in
| the average American home and city.
I I make this not as a general, loose
1 statement, but as a sober conviction
j based upon my observations begin
ning at where the men landed, fol- 1
lowing them through the training
camps, through the military centers, ,
right up to and including the dug- ,
outs in which they live immediately
i behind the front line trenches.
"i found that in the army camps ,
i the men have better surroundings j
and more adequate, wholesome j
s things to do in their free time than .
i they usually have in their own j
I homes. You who have only seen the
Y. M. C. A. at work in America have j
no idea what it is doing over there, j
The chance for clean recreation is ;
far greater over there than here. We .
j are taking the leading American i
{ physical directors, athletic coaches, ,
baseball trainers, boxing masters. [
fencing masters, and leaders of all j
I kinds of sports, and are developing ;
lover there a bigger athletic admirds- 1
•tration for all the men than the
j world has ever seen. The Greeks in
j their most vigorous days never had
|as many athletes in training as there j
! are in the Aemricau Army in France- :
II just happened to hear the other j
day that in the British Army alone a
, hundred thousand pairs of boxing i
j gloves had been ordered from one ,
(dealer. Putting together all this pic- j
j ture of which I have given you the ;
outlines, it shows that leisur lifv is j
1 tilled with the finest things that can .
I be made available. Never before j
I were the fine things of life organized 1
land developed and administered so
as to tempt men for righteousness,
j Not merely a few men some of the
i time, as is done in the churches, set- ;
I tlements, Y. M. C. A.’s and commu
! nity centers over there, but all the
men all the time, with equipment
enough, and talent enough, and ad- (
ministrative ability enough to put j
it across. I have seen much admin
istration used for the exploitation of
vice. Never before have I seen it
undertaken for the exploitation of
virtue.”
