OIK OW N ATTAt k.
American troops have curried out
their first attack on the German
Hues. Advancing on a front wf a
" ^ little over a mile Tuesday—with great
dash and vigor—they captured the
village of Oantigny, gained all other
objectives and took some 200 prison-
ers. Of course, the attack was in-
significant in comparison to the gi-
gantic struggle then waging on a
fifty-mile front to their right; but
M represents their first stroke on n
■cale above that of an ordinary raid,
no It must be chronicled in the
pages of history.
It is foreign to American spirit to
t>« boastful. The Germans are the
originators of and have a monoply
on nearly all bruvailo talk. Hut It is
characteristic of American spirit to
reeognixc and appreciate the sterling
worth of any or all her sons. That
Is why our hearts were all thrilled
when we read of the brilliant dash
•I our men who are as yet referred
to by the Germans as untrained.
They went over and captured the
village In less than an hour and
then held it in the face of counter-
attacks. By their quick work they
captured nearly as many prisoners at
one stroke as the Germans have
taken from our ranks since they first
appeared on the battle line last fall.
To date the trained boches have
taken only about 300 of our men,
—^Wt~WB~~F0t 200 at Cantlgny. Our
losses, too, were said to be light.
But we cannot hope for it always
to be this way. The Germans are
not going to throw down their arms
and run or surrender simply because
they are faced by Americans. Yet
the Cantlgny attack brings home to
us fhe fact that we are in this war
and that our men are getting on the
front tines in number. With their
record to date In mind there is every
reason to believe that they will
prove a match for the "GermaH lads
who have had military training all
their lives." The North German
CSasette of Berlin was wondering the
other day whether or not they would.
w« are all for the rate Increase.
But in passing, It looks like our
whole economic system is running
away with us.
There is a sorely needed increase
in pay granted to all railway em-
ployes. The employes need the few
extra dollars to spend for things to
eat and wear. Then we raise the
rates and the wholesalers and retail-
ers and drygood^ men find that to
in business they must increase
their prices on the things the people
eat and wear. The wage advances
to the railway men are therefore ab-
siiifeed overnight. They will then,
alon,1 with employes in other indus-
tries !»i granted another raise. In
turn, rates will be shoved up another
notch and the prices for the things
we eat and wear will take another
leap sk% ward.
To illustrate the point by e>ag-
geration, this will go on and on un-
til the average employe is earning
$100 a we k and paying etit $100 in
a like period to kot-p tip himself and
his family. Hut he Isn't saving anj-
thing- he can't get anywhere Al-
most anybody is earning twice as
much now as he did a decade ago,
but the cost of living is mure than
twice us high.
Why not, then, look in another
direction for the solution of this
very vexing problem of keeping the
wolf from the door? The Inflation
of the value of both labor and
goods has not produced results, and
is not producing results. Instead. It
is giving the profiteer something
to cry about in order to rake in
more cash.
As a war measure it seems, the
congress might tackle the problem
of keeping the price of the things
the people have to eat and wear in
reach of those who have to eat and
wear them. Something has got to
be done to stop our runaway eco-
nomic horse.
The Bell county Bohemians have
studied to show themselves to be true
Americans.

ment in making the nation bone dry.

The Cold Rain.
The wind is cold, the sky la wet,
the rain's continuous and moist; and
many people sigh and fret who on the
sunny days rejoice. Some voters are
so poorly built they view a dark day
with affright; they think that all the
beans are spilt If there should be a
cloud In sight. But 1 have made a
gaudy fire, I hoar it roaring up the
flue; and here I sit and swat my ljre,
ond raise a happy howdydo. 1 look
out at the liquid rain that hr.sn't
sense enough to quit, and see it wash-
ing down the pane, and do not throw
a morbid fit. The rain will make
the fields more fair and that should
cheep tip dismal souls; and It will
purify the air, and make the microbes
hunt their holes. The rain will save
the oats and ryes—that's wh.it the
f,-uod old rain is tor, and thus we see,
if we have eyes, that storms like this
will win the war. How often, through
a lack of rain, has this drouth strick-
en country groaned! So it is sinful to
complain because your picnic is post-
poned. The country roads are drip-
ping wet, no motor cars along them
purr; but it's a wicked thing to fret
because yo*tr joyride won't occur.
Stop, look, listen. Memorial Day.

Men are needed to sell goods to
the soldiers in France under the
auspicies of the Young Men's Chris-
tian Association. General Pershing
has assigned to this organization the
business of administering to the com-
fort of the soldier when he is well;
the Hed Cross must attend his com-
fort when he is not well, Only these
two organizations are permitted to
function within the jurisdiction of
our great war general. Their support
is therefore the more binding upon
all who would administer to the
comfort of soldiers in France. Com-
fort for the American soldier in
France must go through the service
of the Young Men'sl Christian Asso-
ciation and the American Red Cross.
There are now 1.000 military hos-
pitals in the United Kingdom.

What have they to offer for the fu-

Persons not in the military service
should avoid the use of khaki cloth
and olive drab, which has been ded-
icated to the use of troops Also
civilians should not attempt the use
of military salutes, the same being
distinctive to the military service.
THIS RINAWAY HOItSK.
Recently the director-general of
railways announced that effective at
«occ there would be a general in-
crease of about 25 |>er cent in
freight rates. This was made nec-
essary. it was explained, by the in-
creased cost of operation, wai?e ad-
vances and improvements in con-
templation. With an added penny
or two for passenger fares here and
tbere, It wss pointed out, the increase
would bring in nearly a billion dol-
lars—the small sum necessary to
meet urgent demands.
The public pays the freight, so
the public has a right to kick, if
necessary, when advances are made.
But the public will probably accept
this enormous increase without much
murmuring or grumbling, because it
has the ear-marks of a war measure.
Any sacrifice will be willingly made
In order to wage this conflict through
to a successful end. For this reason
There will be no barbecues on
Emancipation Day this year. The
colored people are willing to extend
the cause of freedom throughout
the world even though they must
devise some other form of attraction
for the annual celebration of their
own freedom.

Climb, cloud, and pencil all the blue.

And paint your pleasure on their
