'America For Americans"
CAXTIGXY
(Seattle Post-Intelligencer)
Cantigny is a name that will go
down in American history, and* it is
well to store it securely in the
memory for the interim between the
tim© history is made and history is
written. At Cantigny the United
.States made what will in all prob
ability be considered its first con
tribution in the world war, aud' it
must be the cause of the greatest
possible satisfaction that our first
real effort was a succes.
Heretofore we have considered th
American troops in Franc© out of
their true proportion. Inconsequen
tial trench raids hay© been treated
as voluminously as if they were bat
tles. The ordinary exchange of ar
tillery fire, which <\>ntinues from
the North sea to Switzerland with
out intermission, has, when Ameri
cans have bt-eu involved, been con
sidered as something unusual. This
was not due to any American
egotism. It was the result of the
novelty of the situation', which gave
to these comparatively email events
the character of interesting news.
But at canugny we aciuaii)
launched an attack and carried it to
its conclusion, all the ground- se
cured oeing occupied by our troops.
In the events taking place simultan
<->usly even (his acbevmeent bulks
small. It is such a one as is re~
ported night after night by British
or French commanders with a few
brief lines. A year from now such
an event will receive the same scant
attention frv>m our commanders, and
will be read with scarcely a thrill
i»y the American people.
.Neverthelessi Cantigny will always
stand' out in our chronicles of the
war with a prominence beyond
its strictly military importance. It
was a respectable little victory, ap
parently carried out with courage
skill, but most of all it was our
first, and the glamor that attends
the initial steps of every mo~
mentous program will cling to it.
In time it will come to have a spe
cial significance, ths Alpha of our
ureat war, thee Omega of which is
still waiting for the hand of time
to letter. The menr who fought at
Cantigny will have a special honor
unions the many honors yet to be
attained, in kind if not in the mea
sure of "The Old' Contemptibles"
and "The First Hundred) Thousand."
"Every grain of wheat our ports
can handle," is the reply we have
sivea, to the Allies in their extrem
ity Every grain our ports can
handle—consider that. In thrash
ing, in the careless war-free days a,
fraction of edible wheat escaped1.
Today a special department of the
Food* Administration is devoted to
seeing that this oijce trifling por
tion is preserved for human con
sumption. «l mmAI uf,
We can whip Germany with
three "Bs",-BACON, BREAD, and
BEANS.
Yes, they are hoi (Mr. g the line.
Out the folks back home must bring
up the reserves.
During this mercy drive, of the
Red Cross, it is Interesting to note
what is being done by others to the
line of receiving war »uiferei«. The
First Church, of Christ, Scientist,
of Boston, Mass., announces ml
item of $500,000 spent for the re
lief of war sufferers through its
war Relief Fund'. This fund is con
tributed to by Christian Scientists
throughout the clvllzed world.
Entirely apart from this fund'
and church activities, is the Com
forts Forwarding Committee main
tained by Christian Scientists, with
r.i j> •
headquarters in Boston and many
branches in every state. Thq fol
lowing article tit-ken from the Bosto
Daily Herald', will give some idea of
the commendablo work being done
by this committee:
A total Of ZS»,44-i arwoefl hois
prepared and sent to enlisted men
and war refugees by the Comforts
Forwarding Committee, conducted
by the Christian Scientists of the
Boston district and located at 328
Boylston Street, during the first
threo months of the committee's
work. Among the goods forwarded
ivyru 15,825 knitted; articles and
comfort kits, 5312 articles of new
clothing ior French, Italian, Bel'
giaa and Serbian refugee children,
and 8307; selected scond hand ot
reruad*e articles o£ clothing.
One American, ship has been sup
plied with enough knitted goods, to
taling 3500 pieces, to equip all the
sailors ou board. A large numbei
oj the knitted garments an^ othei
comforts hate been turned' over tc
the different w*ir relief ass'ns. in
Boston .waich are in direct com
munication. with the people of theh
respective countries, notably the
British, French, Italian, and Bel
gian associations. Some of tli«
recruits from Boston for the Brit'
ish and Canadian forces were sup
plied with knitted articels befor<
they left home.
A feature of the Comforts For
warding Committee's work whicl
h;tft brought splendid results is
the "unit system" of preparing new
garments for refugee chll
dren. Ten of the com
mittee were first instructed it
the making- of a model garment
each of the tea iastructed tea oth
ers whom they in turn iastructed'
Two groups of team, captains meel
at the committee's rooms every da)
to receive instructions and materia
for use by themselves and the mem
berg of their respective teams, wht
work at leisure moments at home
Thus 1110 sewers are banded, to"
s?ether for the particular part of tin
committee's program aind they art
turning out an average , of ov&
1000 garments a week. In thii
work they have been greatly assiste
by ong of tho patriotic maaiuiactur
lug companies of Boston, which of
l{ered> and has undertaken to do al
"the cutting required for thes« gar
ments.
-Much praise has, been given t(
the Comforts Forwarding Commit
tee of the Christian Scientists b;
persons associated with other wai
relief organization, for the higl
quality of the articles produced an:
the systematic manner of their pro
ductions. Nearly 500 such com
mittees are.conducted by Christiai
Scientists throughout the Unitec
States. — Seward Gateway.
The following dilspatch under t
Valpariso, ltd., Juue 1, date ia tak
en from the Seward Post.
Miss Marion Lawe, of this city, r
ceived a letter from James Kiug, h<
fiance, who entered the service hari
last February and was sent over
seas. The letter stated* th® wrltei
would noYer return to her and was
sending his watch as a keepsake.
The watch was not running ant
was taken to a jeweler for repairs
where it was discovered the troublt
was caused by a tiny note writtei
on tissue paper and concealed fi
the watch works.
The note said that King was cap
tured and was a prisoner in th<
hands of the Germans, and1 furthei
stated his captors had cut off hii
ears, nose and both lips, and Jh
was otherwise go horribly diadgure<
he could never again facte her. Miss
Lawe is prostrate over the shod
caused by the note.
Mother never made btitter I«
cream than that which J® ®erre<5

GRIZZLY fenCOKS NO RIVAL
Testimony Of'Hunters Proves That He
U Beyond Question Supreme in
His Own World.
The grizzly was once the nioaarch
fit the Western ranges, tays Walter
Prichard Eaton, In Hurper's Magazine,
Nothing disputed his title till nail
came with the rllle. Of man the gris
tly now has a most Intelligent fear, ex
cept in places where be Is protected
and fed. Fierce and formidable fighter
that he is. he doesn't light man utiles*
he Is driven to it, but with the keen-'
ness of his tribe (ilie bear Is one of the
most intelligent of beasts) he svvlris
danger so far as possible, and has de
veloped much cleverness at It.
The testimony of all Western hunt
ers agrees on the great caution a griz
sly uses before crossing an open or ap
proaching a dead horse or cow put out
for halt, frequently charging all the
bushes around to '.lrlve out possible
foes In ambush as a preliminary to
feeding. That the mountain lion Is •
real foe of the bears our hunter do
Died. The mountain cat is a coward.
Once, he said, he had put out a dead
horse for their bait, and watched from
a tree two lions feeding on the carcass.
A grizzly (called a silvertlp by the
hunters) approached, shouldered In be
tween the lions and began to feed also.
As one fat grizzly can take up consid
erable room the lions resented this
third party at the feast and drew rfft
snarling. Then one of them came back
and evidently clawed the Intruder or
hit It. The bear, which had one fore
paw employed, swung with the other,
caught the lion a tremendous blow and
knocked him 00 feet down the slope.
Then Mr. Silvertlp resumed his repast
as If nothing had happened. He did
not even look around to see how far
the lion fell or what he was going to
do when he got up. Evidently the bear
felt quite sure of his position. He was
Justifiefl In this confidence, for the Hon
rose and with his mate sulked, snarl
ing. off Into the timber.
The man who told this story had
been a mountain hunter from boyhood,
and he Is, furthermore, an uncommon
ly sharp observer whose knowledge has
been more than once employed by the
federal government. There Is no rea
son to doubt the accuracy of his tale,
which seems to bear out the statements
of other hunters that the grizzly is su
preme in his own world, even con
••iniMimijijlv so.
