ALLIES TAKE ON
A NEW COURAGE
Tit* Americans in Battle Prove As
cendency Over German Organization
and Us Stolid Discipline—Equal
to Any Occasion.
With the Americans on the Marne,
June 8.—American dash and spirit,
exemplified by fanners, barbers,
clerks and business men who enlisted
in the marines within t**e past year,
is proving its ascendency over ooche
organizations and its stolid discipline.
The second battle of the Marne is
being won by the boys who may not
understand the fine point* of militar
ism but who are fortified with cour
age, confidence in their officers and in
dividual marksmanship, says Fred G.
Ferguson, United Press Staff Corre
spondent.
Thruout it all they have fought like
demons, with no thought of resting.
Supply companies and ration parties
are working tirelessly under the most
difficult conditions, feeding the men in
the front lines.
These men. who a year ago had
comfortable homes, are snatching a
momentary rest In places where i
it would seem that no human could
exist. i\
I saw a hillside swept by German
machine gunfire on which some ms-(
fines were sleeping. Some had bur-,
rowed under the lee side of rocks,
others had hollowed out shell holes in,
the wheat fields, curling up instantly]
•ml sleeping with their rifles and ma
chine guns ready beside them for in
stant action.
Allies Take New Courage.
The machine gun continues to be;
the chief weapon in this part of the
tine. The boehes seem to have inex
haustible nests of them everywhere,
but the Americans are pumping buck
bullet for bullet, and continue their
exploits of going out and wiping upj
particularly bothersome nests.
This hitherto peaceful valley was
converted into a rumbling, shaking!
valley of death by Thrusday night's
wattle. The glare of burning villages
illuminated the sky and the flash of
artillery outlined the sector in which
the fierce struggle was ensuing.
In the midst of wheat fields fanned
by the soft evening breezes, men
struggled hand to hand and breast to
breast for a hill here or a machine
gun emplacement there.
The battle soon evolved into a se
ries of vMent fights between email
scattered «nita, which later would
join up into platoons and become
fighting units.
In many instances the decision at
certain points depended on the unity
«f • small group headed by a lienten
ant or a non-com.
Despite constant fighting with no
rest, the officers and men are cheer
ful, regarding the battie as the best
chance they have had of showing the
Fteneh what they can do.
Frankly, the comparatively green
troops of the Americans, by their
fighting quaitities, have bucked up the\
morale of the whole of the allied line.,
Arrived Just in Time.
American troops arrived on the
Marne battle front just in time to
save a very critical situation, it is now
permissible to state. Hardly had the
first units tumbled out of their motor
trucks and railway carriages than the
French urged that they be sent into |
the line immediately, as the Germans i
were marching along the road to
Paris.
The Americans went into the line
at midnight on May 31. taking up po
sitions near Chateau Thierry. At 9|
•'clock the next morning, there were |
more than a thousand Americans bar j
ring the road. ea‘eh man with his two |
days’ rations and ammunition supply.;
A German attack was expected at any
moment. A regiment of American ma- j
chine gunners and engineers were j
roused from their sleep. Then cam** >
an urgent call for artillery am muni-!
Man.
bin! to the Occasion.
An amunition truck train made a
46-mile trip and return in 13 hours I
bringing in 32 truck loads of ammu
sution. Tbe orders to move from the
region of Gisors had been received at
$ p. m. on May 30. The Americans
bad departed by train and motor truck
half an hour later. The first of them
arrived at the rear lines late that aft
ernoon. (Gisors is about 36 miles
north of Paris and 76 miles west of
Chateau Thierry.) The journey prob
ably totalled 100 miles.
German attacks as previously re
ported came on June 4 and 6. After
these were repulsed the Americans de
livered their own attacks on the 6th j
sad 7th, taking numerous prisoners
and considerable territory and inflict
ing the heaviest losses on the enemy.
The general’s report covering these
■aperations, concludes with the state
ment that "considering the movement
nrvofved both men and horses that in
less than sixty days after they left
their base, three attacks had been re
pelled and counter attacks had beer,
made with great success, the men con-1
farmed to the best traditions of the
army, meeting all demands made up
on them.”

BEWARE OF POISON IVY.
This Is the Danger Season For
Campers.
Berries red—have no dread:
Berries white—ooisonous sight:
Leaves three—auieklv flee.
This "jingle of the jungle" is per
haps more practical than poetical, as
it will help the memory in disting
uishing between the poison ivy and
non-poisonous plants it resembles. At
this season people are continually
asking:
What is poison ivy? What does it
look like? What is the cure?"
Poison ivy has three leaflets and
white berries. The Virginia creeper,
which it resembles closely, has five
leaflets and purple berries.
However, it has been said that
the small greenish flower of the pois
on ivy in early spring is followed
by purplish berries in the fall; so that
the surest test at all seasons is the
difference between the leaves of the
poisonous and harmless plants.
Another member of the poison ivy
family is the poison elder. It is a
short nr small tree, usually about 12
feet in height, altho sometimes it
grows to a height of 30 feet. It is
found in swamps and low marshy
places. The berries are white.
The poison of ivy is long lived.
Cases are reported of the poison re
maining for years in the dead and
dried stem, flowers and root of the
plant. F.even the handling of the
eordwood to which the vine had at
tached itself has resulted in winter
poisoning.
The majority of cases of ivy pois
oning are contracted by campers and
n*&tKari)r« urilrl flnwpra wVin t.Alieh
the poison vine accidently or when
they mistake it for the harmless Vir
ginia creeper.
Cases are reporter! where persons
are so sensitive that they have be
come poisoned by merely the presence
of the plant, as though the volatile
oil which constitutes the poison, floats
thru the air. This theory has often
been contradicted. Others appear to
bo immune and can handle the vine
without any ill effects.
The immediate symptoms of the
poisoning are an intense itching, ac
companied by an inflamed appearance
of the skin which breaks out into red
spots. These spots develop blisters.
In severe cases the blisters are ex
tensive, like those of a severe bum.
Cases of delirium and even death are
reported as the result of the poison
ing.
The best treatment for the poison
ing seems to vary with the person,
perhaps due to the differences in the
skins of different persons. A physi
cian can prescribe best, and to avoid
prolonged incovenienee and suffering,
the poison must be checked at once.
A physican. experienced in treat
ing poison ivy, can tell best to what
treatment a certain skin will respond.
He will likely insist on the thorough
anu systematic application of his pre
scription. However, in case a doctor
cannot be reached as soon as the
poisoning is detected the folowing
prescription, indorsed by the United
State* Department of Agriculture,
may be used:
"To a weak solution of alcohol—
about 50 to 75 per cent—add powd
ered sugar of lead until no more will
be dissolved. The fluid should be
rubbed into the affected skin several
times a day for a few days, or until
the poisoning is checked."
It should be remembered that the
sugar of lead is poisonous if taken in
ternally. This is true of the bicloride
of mercury tablets which may be
bought at drug stores and applied
with good effect in cases of ivy pois
oning. The tablets are dissolved in
hot water. The solution is applied
with cotton compresses.

Career as a Soldier in the
Balkans.
London, June 12.—Sergeant-Major
Mora Sandes, the only Englishwoman
in the Serbian army, is about to re
join her regiment at Saloniki. She
had returned to England for a few
week's sick leave, devoting much of
her time to raising money for com
forts for her Serbian comrades by
telling the dramatic story of her mili
tary career.
She went to Serbia in 1914, and af

retreat before the German hordes, she
was cut off from her ambulance unit
and at once joined a Serbian regiment
as a private.
For two years she took part in all

in a charge that secured some vital

For her bravery she has received
the highest order that a Serbian sol

Czacho-Slovak Troops Continue Suc
cesses Against Soviet Government i
—Hold Many Towns—Hundreds
Are Arrested.
—
London, June 15.—The Czacho
Slovak troops operating against the
Russian societ government in Siberia
»nd the Ural region continue their,
tuccess according to nn Exchange
Felegraph dispatch from Moscow dat
ed June’ 11. During the ninth and!
tenth of June, having occupied Sa-1
mara, they advanced rapidly toward i
Cuffau.
On the Siberian railroad from!
rcheliabinsk to Tomask, (a distance
of 1,250 miles) all the towns are in j
the hands of the * Czech-Slovaks.
Omsk was occupied on June 8 by a
united force of Slavs and Cossack
peasants. In their operations along
the railways connecting Siberia with
Central Russia they have temporarily
cut off communications between the
Siberian grain stores and Moscow and
Petrograd, seriously menacing the
bread rations, which already are in
adequate. The Czecho-Slovaks now
control the stations of Omsk and Novo
Nicholaevsk and Tchlibinsk and also
many smaller towns. Consequently
they are able to prevent traffic from
the Siberian grainaries to both Mos
cow and Petrograd.
300 Are Arrested.
At Novo Nicholaevsk, which is the
nearest large city east of Minsk, the
Czoch-Slovaks joined the white
guards in overwhelming the societs
and have established what they call
a new Siberian central government
which is the fourth government now
claiming control in Siberia. The Bol
sheviki government has sent emissar
ies to negotiate with the Czecho
slovaks, who insist that they must be
given the right to pass thru Siberia
to Vladavoostok on their way to the
fighting front in France.
More than 300 arrests have already
been made by the soviet government
in connection with the anti-soviet
plot. Among those under arrest are
M. Kishkin, minister of public wel
fare in the Kerensky capinet and M.
Malyantovitch, minister of justice in
the Kerensky cabinet and many other
social democrat and social revolution
ist leaders.
Partial disclosures made by the so
viet government allege that the coun
ter-revolutionary headquarters in
Moscow has extended it# organiza
tion thruout Siberia and central Rus
sia under the name of “Union for De
fense of the Fatherland and of Free
dom.”
The organization is accused of
planning the overthrow of the Soviets
and the establishment of a govern
ment standing for the natio' 'll in
terest of Russia, reorganization of
the army on teh old basis and con
tinuation of the war against Ger
many with the support of the allies.

Indianapolis, June 11.—Interrupted
several times in his speech here to
night by cries of “Roosevelt in 1920,”
Theodore Roosevelt stopped speaking
until the audience was silent and said:
"Friends, this is nothing but an
American meet, at which we are dis
cusing Americanism and all it means;
preparedness and putting the war
over. We must stand by every pub
lic servant as he develops and uses
the war strength of the country. We
should stand against him precisely to
the degree that he fails to develop

country.”
There was no more interruptions of

Brownsville, Tex., June 11.—Nego
tiations for the release of four Amer
ican soldiers, who, with Lieutenant
David J. Schaile, crossed the Ri<»
Grande in Mexico Sunday night while
searching for the body of a drowned
comrade, and who are held prisoners
in Matamoras, Mexico, opposite
Brownsville, must be carried on be

on the Mexican side Sunday night. |
Colonel Gonzales notified Colonel H.
J. Slocum, commanding the Browns- j
ville district, today that President j
Carranza had ordered him to turn the
investigation of the affair, details of
which still are not known, over to'
Mexican civil authorities, and to hold
the four Americans pending diplo
matic procedure.
Colonel Gonzales advised Colonel
Slocum the men were receiving the
best attention possible and instead of
being held in prison, had been as

ters. He said the Americans would j
be permitted to receive any supplies
their friends or the American govern
ment cared io send them.
It was stated unofficially in Mata
moras this evening that there had
been no fight between the American
soldiers and the Mexican patrol, when
called upon to surrender, it was said.
Lieutenant Sehaile instructed his men

ARREST BROTHERS AS MOON
SHINERS; CAPTURED STILL
Sixty-Gallon Plant Is Seized by Rev
enue Officers in Scott
County.
From The Fort Smltt; Times Record
The first blow the government has
struck to break up moonshining in
Scott county has resulted in the cap
ture of two men and the seizure of
one of the largest wildcat stills found
in the western part of the state for
some time. The prisoners are Miles
and John Lovett, brothers, who were
lodged in the federal jail at Fort
Smith late Wednesday to await a
premliminary hearing before Com
missioner W. H. Dunblazier on June
22.
They were apprehended by several
internal revenue agents on Tuesday
night while operating a large moon
shine still along Turkey creek, some
six miles southeast of Waldron. The
officers who seized the still say it had
a capacity of 60 gallons daily and was
about double the size usually found
at moonshine plants. They failed to
find any whisky, but destroyed more
than 350 gallons of mash. This mash
was found in six barrels, each bar
rel capable of holding 60 gallons.
The still was a home-made affair.
The moonshiners had made a boiler
out of an iron barrel that was for
merly used for transporting gasoline.
ALLOWED WHALERS TO ESCAPE
Captain's Plea of Ruin Saved His Ship
He Says.
New Bedford, Mass.. June 9.—Two
whalers arrived here today reported
they had been held up by a German
submarine off Cape Hatteras. Captain
J. T. Gonslaves of the schooner A. M.
Nicholson said that on his pleading
with the captain of the U-boat that
he was a poor man and the loss of
his vessel meant ruin he was allowed
to proceed with his ship and 330,000
cargo of sperm oil unharmed.
After leaving the Nicholson the
submarine headed for the schooner El
len A. Swift, also returning from the
whaling grounds, but before reaching
her the U-boat commander sighted a
steamer and went after her, sending
her to the bottom.
The mess boy of the schooner Haup
page, sunk by the German raider May
25. arrived at his home here today and
said that while he was a prisoner for
eight days on the U-boat he was told
by the officer that they had sunk one
whaler laden with oil. The ship, the
name of which was not given, was de
stroyed previous to May 25, according
to the story.

All REVERENCE IS j
DUE OH FLAG:
It Is Desecration to Allow It to Blow
to Pieces, Declares Western De
• partment of the Army—Raise
and Lower Daily.
San Francisco, June 14.—When an
American flag is shot to pieces by en
emy cannon or musketry in most in
stances it cannot be helped. But when
it is allowed to blow to pieces while
perpetually “mastheaded ' on an office
building staff or in any other place,
it has been desecrated.
This was the Flag Day declaration
given out by the Western Department
of the army here today in an educa
tive effort to secure greater respect
for the national ensign.
The declaraton proclaimed the flag
to be a sacred thing, which must be
treasured and treated with reverence
at all times. It is urged that the army
and navy regulations covering the
use of the flag be generally accepted,
and that every owner of a flag go
thru his own private ceremony of
raising and lowering the colors every
day.
The department declared the fol
lowing practices to be strictly against
regulations:
Draping the flag in semi-circular
or other decorative effects. Every
thread must show.
Placing the flag on speakers' tables
or platforms, where it may be used as
a setting for water pitcher, or even
trod upon.
Using it for a belt, girdle or drape.
It is not an article of dres3.
Using it for automobile, carriage or
float decoration other than in a man
ner that will permit it to fly straight
out and show all its beauty. When
used otherwise, the flag might trail
in the dirt, the acme of desecration.
The declaration holds that the chief
Affnn oiramc + tVto floo- {a nllrtwimr *
it to be flown continuously until it is
blown to shreds. Every flag that is
nos suspended indoors should have a
caretaker, who should display it when
the day’s tasks begin, and furl it when
those tasks are ended. There are but
three places where the flag may be
flown continuously, according to the
regulations. Those places are over
the Senate and House wings of the
capitol at Washington, and the Cap
itol proper.
Ever, these flags must be kept spot
less. They are renewed every six
weeks, and the old ensign respectful
ly burned.
When pure decoration is called for,
bunting alone should be used. The
flag is no more meat for decoration
that a priestly investment.
Eut one flag is shown above the
American banner and that jfe the
church pennant. This is to signify
that there is but one thing more su
preme than the country, and that is
the Kingdom of God. The regulations
prohibit the use of any other flag or
pennant on the same staff as the Na
tional ensign. If there is a desire to
honor the flag of an ally or neutral
country it must be placed on a sep
arate staff.
When the flag passes in a parade or
ether observances, civilians should
rise if they are sitting, and remove
their headgear. In inclement weath
er they should lift the hat so that it
does not rest on the head.
Second only to the flag is the Na
tional anthem. It must be considered
also that in these times the national
anthems of the allies have taken on
a new significance also. When the
Star Spangled Banner, God Save the
King and the Marseillaise are being
played or sung, ail must rise and
stand at strict attention. If they are
men they must uncover and remain
uncovered until the last note is
reached.
