The largest contingent of men to be called to the colofs from Crawford county will entrain here Friday after­noon, July 26th, for Camp Gordon, Ga.

The Commercial club has taken the matter in hand of arranging for a fit­ting sendoff for our boys. They are in communication with Senator Cum­mins and Nate Kendall, with the hope of landing one of them to make an ad­dress Thursday afternoon from the court house steps. This is a big dele­gation to leave our county and it re­quires a big man to address them. If either of the gentlemen can be se­cured they will be in keeping with the size of the delegation. In addition to the address a large chorus is being organized to furnish the vocal music and our premier band will be there to play as they never played before. It looks like a great program is to be-ranged, and the committee having the

matter in charge are to be congratu­lated on the successful work they are doing.

Now, remember, the exercises are to take place Thursday afternoon of next week and the boys will leave the next day. Govern yourself according­ly and plan to be here to witness what is going to be the largest delegation to leave our county, and the best pro­gram that lias been prepared for your entertainment.

BOYS CET REAL BAPTISM OF FIRE

American Soldiers Have First Real Fight This Week—As Expected,

Fight Like Veterans.

BATTLE FRONTAGE OF 65 MILES

Boys Stopped the Germans at the Marne, Completely Upsetting

All the Hun Plan®.

(Continued • Pago Three)

The American soldiers have had their real baptism of fire this week and, as' we all expected, they -were adamant and met their first test like veterans.

A battle with a frontage of some sixty-five miles was started by the Germans and the allied forces were eager for the fray. The Germans had brought up large cannons from their war vessels and fired upon the towns miles in the rear of the battle lines— but all to no avail.

The Americans stopped the German rush at a bend along the Marne and completely upset the Germans by the valor and fighting spirit of the Yanks. The Americans suceeded in capturing an entire brigade staff and a major and captain were among the prison­ers. All assaults wero smashed by the accurate fire of Pershing's gun­ners. Oh, if Lafayette could have seen it!

The German prisoners captured in the counter attack by the Americans at the bend on the Marne during the first day's fighting number between 1,000 and 1,500 men.

It now appears that the German at­tack has been a colossal failure. Great numbers of German corpses are hang­ing on the tangle of barbed wire in front of the French positions and all reports state the losses of the Ger­mans must have been exceedingly heavy. Warning is given however, that great pressure of reserves is still to be looked for.

The Associate Press says: "East and west of Rheims the Germans are fighting to bring success to their fifth offensive. Almost everywhere the al­lied troops are holding tenaciously, and the fighting Zone between the first line is intact along the entire sixty-five mile front. Superb resis­tance by American, French and Ital*. ian troops held the Germans to mini­mum gfiins. Between 700,000 and 800, 000 German troops were thrown into the battle. Despite these huge num­bers and the use of every facility of offensive, Berlin was able to report officially Monday night only that "to tlye southwest and east of Rheims was penetrated into parts of the French positions." "

EXCITEMENT AT SCHLESWIG

State Official With Anti-Foreign Lan­guage Signs Gets Chilly Re­

ception.at Schleswig.

There seems to be much talk going the rounds over the fact that Maurice Nielsen, of Denison, acting for the county council of defense, did not re­ceive a cordial reception at Schleswig when he went there to post signs against the use of . foreign languages.

There are so many conflicting stor­ies that it is no easy matter to pub­lish the real facts, so merely state that Mr. Nielsen went to Schleswigv did post some signs, was requested to remove them, but did not. No violence was done him, and he is circulating around the city as usual.

No doubt the matter will be taken up at a future meeting of the county council of defense, and may reach the attention of state authorities.

SAYS COUNTY CAN'T NOMINATE

Attorney General Havner Holds That County Convention Cannot Nom­

inate County Ticket.

That a county convention cannot make an original nomination is the effect of an opinion on the primary law issued yesterday by Attorney General H. M. Havner.

The opinion deals with candidates whose names are not printed on the ballot but are written in by voters.

If such a candidate does not get 10 per cent of all the votes cast in his county for governor at the last preced­ing' election, there is no nomination nor can the county convention nomi­nate. The holding refers only to county officials.

It is said that hundreds of case3 involving the point have been submit­ted to the attorney general following the last primary.

ADVISORY COMMITTEE MEETS

An interesting meeting of the ad­visory committee of the Denison unit of the women's committee of the Council of National Defense was held Monday evening at the McKim hall. A review of the work during the year included that of the Hoover pledge cards, the "fourth meal" campaign, that of the food conservation and home demonstration agent, and the great work of children's year. For Denison township the City Federation of Women's clubs has taken this work and the enrollment of .children within five years of age is nearly com­peted. A new task "has been commit­ted to the women's committee, that of the United States student nurse re­serve campaign—to include a recruit­ing station (July 29th to August 11th, incusive). 4- committee for this work to assist the county chairman consists of Mrs. Carroll Evans, Miss Lessie Marshall and Miss Emma Buehler.

DEATH RELIEVES MUCH SUFFERING

Mrs. Margaret Anderson, a Resident of Crawford County and Denison

for Years, Called Home.

CAME TO CRAWFORD IN 1888

Confined to Bed but Few Weeks, and Having the Best of Medical Skill

Proves of No Avail.

The hearts of many friends were saddened on last Thursday when they learned of the death of Mrs. Margaret Anderson, wrfo passed away at her home on North Main street after a short illness. Mrs. Anderson had been confined to her bed but a few weeks and although the best of medical aid and the services of a trained nurse were procured, death came as a relief from further suffering to this beloved mother. Mrs. Anderson was one of Crawford county's early settlers, hav­ing come to Otter Creek township with her husband in the spring of 1888. She lived a worthy and helpful life and those who knew and loved her were made happy by her sweet personality and friendly deeds.

Margaret Mulholland was born in the county of Hutrtm, Ireland, on Jan. 9, 1840. Her girlhood years were spent in Ireland and at the age of 22 she removed to Canada where she lived for three years, then making her home in Philadelphia. On Dec. 24, 1869, she was united in marriage to Samuel Anderson and they established, their home at Wenona, 111., where they lived until the spring of 1888, when they came to Otter Creek township in this county. To this union ten children were born, one having died in early childhood and one in infancy. The eight children now living are John, Samuel, Harry and Mrs. Arthur Winey, all of whom reside near De-loit; William, who lives at Jefferson, and Robert, James and Emma, who live in Denison. Besides the children thirteen grandchildren mourn the loss of this dear grandmother. Mr. Anderson passed away on Jan. 4, 1892, and Mrs. Anderson continued to re­side on the farm for nearly twenty years. With hard toil and true moth­erly devotion she reared her children to worthy manhood and womanhood and she has been the recipient of their loving care and devotion. Mrs. An­derson united with the Presbyterian church when eighteen years of age, but because there wa3 no church of this denomination at Deloit she be­came a Methodist and her member­ship was transferred to the church at Denison when she removed to this city about seven years ago. Since that time she has won many warm friends who feel deeply the loss of

her cheering presence. The family has the sympathy of many in their sorrow.

CHAS. BOWLING INJURED.

Son of Andy Bowling Sustained Crush­ed Foot When Alighting From

a Train in Chicago.

Andy Bowling was called to Chica­go last Wednesday owing to a serious accident received by his son Charles Bowling. The young man is a recruit in the Great Lakes Training Station and when returning from down town in Chicago July 4th, in company with, his uncle and aunt, he had the mis-fertune to fall from a Milwaukee train, and his right foot was crushed. The accident happened as he went to alight from the train. Other members of the party had stepped from the car but Charles was late in getting out and the train was moving wnen he attempted to get off. He caught his heel on the step and was thrown in such a manner as to fall with his right foot under the wheel. He was taken to a hospital and is being given every possible attention. Amputa­tion will be necessary. His father re­turned to Denison Sunday morning.

CAMP DODGE OFFERS SURPRISES

Rev.M. J. Farrelly on Tour of Inspec­tion Finds Camp Well Organized

City of 40,000 Men.

Rev. Father Farrelly returned re­cently from a tour of inspection oC Camp Dodge, and he is very enthusi­astic over the treatment accorded him. Soldier boys who were strang­ers to him showed every courtesy pos­sible. Father Farrelly was surprised, and agreeably so, with what he found at the camp. A city of more than 40,000 souls, he found a system so well organized as to do credit to a large municipality such as our larger cities. Every convenience has been provided for the welfare of the boys— sanitary conditions were of the best, comfort prevailed everywhere—the K. C. buildings, the Y. M. C. A. build­ings, sleeping quarters an-d mess rooms were so well regulated as to be beyond criticism. The mora/e of the boys was splendid—no boisterous or rowdyism prevailed. During Father Farrelly's stay he saw no drunken­ness whatsoever and the boys were gentlemen in every respect. On ev­ery occassion Father Farrelly takes opportunity of telling of his trip and treatment accorded.

Mrs. Jacob Sims returned Friday from Red Cross work in LB Mars, Sheldon and Cherokee. Mrs. Sims re­ports large and enthusiastic audien­ces and conferences on home service and a most patriotic spirit every­where. At Cherokee groups of pro­fessional and business men go out af­ter business hours into the field and work from 5 o'clock till 9.
