PRICK TWO CXNT1 AMERICAN TALK g Posit TT TTTT YM MSEB1WI MCE 1 What's the use of bother With the bothering of things; Never a heart so lucky As the heart that always sings; Breaking through the shadows Gets so easy afterwhile There aren't any shadows That can match your morning smile. Baltimore Sun. What about the American college, what can it do, what has it done and what is 'it doing? For an answer visit the fields of France, if not in the body in imagina tion, and see who is there and what t'hey are doing. For many years Americans have been foolishly discussing this query is the college worth while, does col lege education pay? and similar ex pressions of like meaning. These questions will have lost all of interest by the time the war is aver they will have answered themselves even to the most icronounced opponent of college education. Study the facts. Look the field over and read an answer to these questions. Read an answer to any such query in the lives of Young America under arms. Wtho is winning the war, who is saving the nation, who is redeem ing the world ? Some of the most gallant fighters, some of the bravest of the brave, the soldiers that go the farthest into "No Man's Land" and perform the most gallant service nev er saw the interior of a college or a lecture room. But how about the spir it of the American college, the lead ership furnished by the American col leire of today? Go to the American colleges go to Yale, to Harvard, to Cornell, to Syr acuse, toWilliams, to Colby, to Am herst, to Princeton, to Pennsylvania, to Virginia, to Carolina, to Trinity, to Davidson to any American college and then follow the men who leaving left these walls hardly an echo. ..' A good line of American "talk is rcming from the office of the Federal fuel administrator. 'Mr. Garfield and his associates are asking the people to remember now the days of the com ing winter and to prepare for the worst that may come. Looking back to a severe winter we can readily see that it is good advice to offer Buy coal now. Biflp Clinton is right, the ne groes need no one to tour the coun try telling them to be loyal and to ignore the German propaganda. If the negroes of tihis country are as loyal and as patriotic as the negroes of this community there is no need of any one wasting time to talk to them about loyalty certainly no definitely arranged missionary tour. Such a proposition is all but an insult to the patriotic negroes of the South who are standing by the flag, by the gov ernment to the limit. The disloyalty we have observed is not of negro origin. The disrespect for the government and the cool indiffer ence to the war is not coming from the colored man in this country. The fail ure to support the government, the failure to support the agencies of love and mercy asking aid of full blooded Americans, these things are not to be found among the negroes of Sal isbury. If the National Defense So ciety has any silver tongued mission aries to send out they can find some to talk to and they may not be ne groes, either. We must nt hBve "hot and cold" Americans. We must not burn up with zeal one day and the next la?se into a state of ease and indifference. We must not work in spurts. We cannot afford to rush about one day and the next sleep in the shade. The Ameri can that is going to prove most helo ful is that one who is steadily at it, always "on the job," tne same one day and' the next, cooly, calmly and with determination going about the taak of winning the war. We fear too many of us are built on this "hot and cold" basis. Wo overdo things one day and the next doxen days rest and rust. If we whip the Huna we must fight the Huns constantly. The soldiers are not fighting one day and hunting for squirrels the next They do not rush madly and enthusiastically to the task one day and the next do nothing. It is no day on and day oft job, no more so for ua than the men at the front If we worts; to rapport the war we must work steadily at the taak, day and nigfrt, ever at it and about it, earnestly, patiently ana constantly. It no dress parade job, no pmfc Ua Widertalung. .W3S tt i said that a large number of farmerettes have stopped posing for their pictures in order to devote a lit tle more time to firming.

MILITARY EXPERTS EXPECT ATTACK NEAB MONTDIDIER French Succeed in Improving Po sitions at Some Points and Oth er Sectors Are Very Quiet. (By Associated Press.) Held up in their effort to batter their way through the American and French! lines near the iMarne the Ger mans have again turned their atten tion to the front further north .in the sector which may be considered as the connecting link between the Oise and the Marne battlefields. French official reports in dealing with the operations along ; the front say that the French forces east of Sampigny have continued to drive batik bodies of German troops which crossed the Oisss, . C When the initial plunge along the Ainse had gained extensive ' ground but the process had created a salient then dangerous to the Germans to the west of Soissons they attacked along the. lAilette river northwest. ptthat city, straightening 'out their line and thus guarding against a fjanpdng op eration by the allied armies. They gained considerable territory in this maneuver 'but were held after pro gressing approximately five miles. Since that time the French have held their positions with the Oise river forming the first line dfeense and there has bene little fighting of a significant nature in Khat sector. 'Military experts have expected an attack on the allied line running east of Montdiddier, past Noyon, thence along the Oise to the new lines form ed since the German offensive on the Ainse began. It may be that the fighting reported in the French offi cial statement marks the initial stages of an attack there. 'Further south along the line run ning from the western suburbs of Soissons to Chateau Thierry the line is standing firm before the German thrust The French lhave succeeded in im proving their positions north and west of Hcttebraye, a little village on the right hank of the (Hoxien river north of the Ainse. On the rest of the front, especially at Longport. Veuilly-la-Poterie and west of Rheims the artillery has been violent. Along the front held by the Brit ish there has been raiding operations but no fighting of a serious charac ter. Washinrton Looks for New Outbreak Washington, June 6. Demonstra tions in force against new positions of the western front are anticipated by the war department officials now that German's thrid drive has slowed down to a struggle for improvement of local positions : west and south of Soissons. It is regarded as entirely possible that increased enemy activity in front of the American sector northwest of Toul mav indicate an impending blow there. This conclusion is based oa op inion strongly held by some officials that the so-caled thrid drive, the ex tension of the original offensive cam paign to the Ainse. front,, was de signed by the Germans to draw off re serves from Amieas and Flanders sec tors. An attack on the American sectors in such strength as to drive the line back, it is urged, might hamper Gen eral Foch in the employment of Am erican unit to support his lines In Pi cardy and Flanders and the Ainse reg ions. The officers regard the fact that no new blow has been struck at Amiens front as conclusive evidence that General Foch outclassed his op ponents when he determined to let the Ainse front tand on - its own strength even at the cost of much territory and being overran by the en emy until he could assemble additional units from scattered points along the Hne boynd Rheims. n . - . -The very success of the Germans la pressing on to the banks of the Mane, German Submarines Came Nearly 5,000 Miles to Sink Ships Off Jersey Coast ' , . mmmmi German submarines which sank British raid which closed those har- MirLANO IS V. t " A1 sh(-.8 off the New Jersey coast had to bars on the Belgian coast, and the X X Yi 3 vft-VV'C VU-f travel nearly 5,000 miles around the English Channel is crossed with nets.

(By the Associated Press) Henrietta. Oklahoma, June 6. Fear of a possible uprising among Indians and ncgroes and those of mixed In dian and African blood in the Old Hickory Stamping Ground was dis pelled today when the Henrietta company of home guards returned here with word that the malcontents had promised to disperse their bands and not attempt any trouble. Dissatisfaction over the draft, the fact that they were forced' to buy wheat flour oa the card system and were made to support various war causes is said to be the reason for the discontent among the inhabitants of the region made famous by the Cracy Snake rebellion of 1908. Reports last night that three white farmers had been slain could not be confirmed today. WSS THRESHERMAN'S ASSISTANT COMING FRIDAY MORNING.

(By the Associated Press) Washington, June 6. Postpone ment of the new freight and passeng er rates or modification of them to re lieve the injustice and discrimina tions which threaten many shippers and industries with "commercial an nihilation" was urged on Director General McAdoo today by a delega tion of the National Association of Railway Utilities Commissioners.
