And every one of them held a poor opinion of Fritz as a fighting man, They were unanimous, the attache de- clared, in stating that the Germans were long-distance fighters only. As one of them said: “They are not so bad when they are 50 yards away with a machine gun, but at close quarters the German soldiers are no good.” Marine after marine asserted that when he and his comrades got into ac- tual fighting contact with the enemy there was no fight left in him, Then the Germans would throw down their guns, and, waving their hands over their heads, ery out “Kamerad!” Feel Contempt for Huns, “Our men,” added the attache, “gave me the impression of looking with ut- ter contempt upon the German soldiers, who can fight only when they feel that they have the protection of artillery and gas, and surrender when it comes to hand to hand fighting. “Far from feeling the slightest dread of the enemy, every man expressed eagerness to get out of hospital and return to the front. Every one of them wanted a chance of getting even with A Monarch We are ready to clean your “seed grains,” having the most com- plete line of cleaning machinery in the country.

The cheerful- ness of all, including some infantry in the wards, may be summarized by the remark of one recovering from gas? ‘Why,’ he said, ‘there’s nothing in it. When all of us marines get going, we ‘will wipe Fritz off the map, and we will eat our next Christmas dinner at home at that.’” A British officer who has seen much of the American marines at their head- quarters in France, and seen them at work against the Boche, writing on what he describes as “an instructive glimpse at the American war spirit and American efficiency in the field,” says? “On the roads to the front there is perpetual movement. Hundreds of mo- tor lorries, each one packed with French soldiers, pass us in quick suc- cession on their way to another part of the line, Again and again we pass bodies of American troops on the march, then a group of women and children, Although the road winds over the face of a well tilled country- side, few birds are seen, except for an occasional pair of ring doves. Such is the incongruity of war! Aircraft Hum Continuous. “We find the marines’ headquarters at an old farmhouse, shut in on every side by woods. Here the hum of air- craft is continuous, and links up the intermittent crash ef artillery fire. A Boche observation balloon hangs above the woods to eastward, and a ‘woolly bear’ shell lays a vivid black smudge against the limited skyline ahead. In the farmyard we seem to stand in a little world apart, but the sounds of adjacent fighting are close about us. “A marine officer who has had no sleep for three nights comes in, dusty but cheerful, from the trenches. The marines are doing themselves proud out there, he says. ‘There has been some stiff fighting in the woods, but the Boche will have to shift soon; that is the opinion of this old campaigner, who has fought by sea and land all over the globe. We leave the farm under the guidance of a young lieu- tenant, a ‘broth of a boy,’ with the face of a Greek god. “A rough cart track runs behind a belt of woods, and in this vicinity the American artillery is stationed. We approach one of the batteries, Well hid- den even at close quarters. A tele- phone fixed to a tree trunk rings sharp- ly, and the captain, capless and with- out tunic, a megaphone in one hand, answers the call. “ ‘Very good, sir!’ He swings ’round to the guns. “‘On barrage! Fire!’ “Through, the megaphone his order penetrates to every corner of the wood, and the gunners leap to their work in a moment. Crash! Crash-Crash! Crash! The guns fling out their deaf- ening message of death ‘almost simul- taneously, and in the momentary si- lence between the rounds the whizz of the shells can be heard as they fly on their way to the wood where the Boche sti}l lingers, “It is real team work, this gunnery, nothing else describes it—the work of a team, perfectly trained, in which keenness and efficiency produce a re- sult beyond praise. For a tim@ salvo follows salvo. ‘Then comes the order : ‘Cease fire!’ and silence descends upon the battery.” A standard cord is 128 cubic feet of Wood et — coenionnil Political Announcements {Paid Adv.] For County Auditor The favor of the vote and influence of the Democratic voters of Idaho County is respectfully solicited at the Primary Election to be held on Tues- day, September 3, 1918, for my nom- ination to the office of Clerk of the District Court and ex-officio Auditor and Recorder of Idaho County.

Griffith, our present Prose- euting Attorney, isa candidate for reelection, and the nomination on the Democratic ticket for said office at the primaries on Sept. 3. Mr. Grif- fith’s record as a successful and fear- less prosecutor is well known. Through experience and good judgment he has saved the taxpayers many thousands of dollars. Criminal cases are very expensive, and unless a prosecutor has experience and exercises good judg- ment in allowing criminal actions to be brought, he might cause great ex- | pense to to be incurred without securing satisfactory results or convictions. The taxpayers who have to bear the burden of expense in criminal cases will probably think twice before mak- ing a change.
