It was not even a major < iJR operation, judging by the meagre remT\f ? nJKbT ports as to the number of men engaged. But it marked a new phase in iff the American campaign. The AmerI I m W i ican troops, well-seasoned by months | J ^ in the trenches, baptised by fire in I m defensive operations and in raids, took I M Lfc, the offensive. It was warfare to the \g & % liking of the Americans. They rushed |k M First they call os Sammies?why. HH M nobody knows. Perhaps because we were from the land of Uncle Sam. ^k Perhaps because ^the French words m M for "our friends" are pronounced "nose zammie" which certainly S Ty sounds close enough to Sammy~ No matter what the reason may have been the nickname was tried and'it did not catch on. Something failed ' to click?it was not a case of "Blue K91 TVvilH" nr "I.adieR from Hell." and 1K now our friends Over There are trying again. This time it is "Buddy." Now. what do you think of tha<% "Buddy!" Not that Buddy is so had ?hut it is nothing like so good as "Bud." ( Why. just think of that wonderful war soug written in 1898 when the Maine was blown up in Havana harbor and we went to war with Spain, i There you have the real use of Bud I in a military sense.

In that en gagement'it was proved conclusive]} that no German is a match for at American. Cantigny was a good beginning. Says General Bridges, head of tlx special British military commission The allied staffs hare recognised foi a long time, and it is now obvious t< all, that* the American troops haVI become a vital factor-in this battli and may hold the balance between de feat and victory, and that it is only bj brigading them for training with thi French and British that they will tx ready in time to take their part ii any numbers this year. The cry is and will be, for men, for more met and for bayonets, and yet more bay onetx." >DY Here are the ringing words ii honor of Bud: BUD Can we chew the peaceful eud While the Maine lies in the mud?

The Maine no longer lies in th mud?for that musket was shoul dered by Bud?just as he is shoul dering the fighting Springfield o Enfield today. The battle is not yet won.

The discipline American will obey his orders and ? main to the very last, and when h must move he will make as certain a i is humanly possible that the enem will not be able to profit by what h must l^ve behind. The general's exclamation, "You'i a glorious fellow!" was the tribute fa could not withhold. It was recogn I tion of worth. Someone has said that in this wa bravery is anonymous, meaning that is so general it goes unnoticed. Amer . cans at home have been deeply grat - fied to notice that the French ha\ found the bravery of many Americas r so signal, even where everyone j W a... u.n. i withhold their praise*. American soldiers, many of then 1 hare been awarded medals by the A tied commanders, and as one Amer can soldier who had been Over The* r said, "You have to earn what you g< on the battle-field."

The little salary check came in and it gar^mea strange detached sort of feeling to receive the money and feel that I had done nothing, to earn it?I suppose I ought not to feel that way in view of the work I did during my six years. A letter said the Board of Directors had decided to pay onehalf the salary until the end of the S .year and that it hoped to be able to e pay it for the duration of the war. They do appreciate me, after all. I went to see Mary last night. She s was enthusiastic, tremendously so. B She wanted to know how soon I was " going, whether she could do anything for me, and as I was leaving she said, e "L am glad you are going to give up I- the new blue suit for the uniform." - Then she looked at me peculiarly and r said, "It fakes the law sometimes to make a man see. his dnty and I am e glad yon have been made to see r yours." L I said notbing, for the fact of the t matter is that, in spite of all the end thusiasm, in spite of father and Mary >f and the pastor; yes in spite of the a fact that our tight-fisted firm hopes i to be abl&to keen me on the payroll.
