NEVER MIND KNOCKS.
"Don’t be afraid of knocks, boys.
The harder you are bumped the high
er you bounce,” says the Fraternal
liecord. And it may be added that
the higher you hounee and the harder
you are bumped the tougher you will
get until finally the knocks will no
longer hurt you. They will become
nothing more than an incentive to
greater endeavor. Few men have
ever attained a worth while place in
the world until they had been soundly
humped. A course in the university
of Hard Knocks is the best training
in the world.
AMERICAN TROOPS IN FRANCE.
The announcement that two con
tingents of American troops have ar
rived behind the French battle zone
and will there prepare for the fiery
ordeal that they are about to enter
will perhaps bring home to the people
of America a full realization that we
are really in the war.
Up to the present day there are not
a few persons living under the do
main of the Stars and Stripes who
possess no active realization that the
nation is in all truth about to brave
the blows of a powerful enemy.
Those who are subject to the call of
conscription realize it, perhaps, and
Eo do the mothers and fathers of the
land who have sons to give. And so
too do those to whom the war ha*
brought wealth and affluence. To
these the entrance of the United
States is a decided reality that ha*
or is about to leave a lasting impress
on their lives.
Hut to the many thousands of other!
who will neither smite nor tie smit
ten, who will have little to gain 01
lose or who have no stalwart and wel
loved sons to give to the insatiablr
Moloch of destruction across the wa
ler, the war has little or no meaning
Being far away from the dread
reality, distance dims the view and
dulls the mind to the true significant
of the sudden call to arms, the mar
whaling of hosts, and the thousand anc
one activities betokening that the na
tion is about to undergo a baptism ol
blood.
Only recently a well Informed and
decidedly thoughtful acquaintance re
marked: "It Is difficult to realize Dial
the United States has really embark
ed on the same career of destruction
that has caused It. such Intense hor
ror In the past two years—that w*
are about to take upon ourselves th«
same burdens that have oppressed
Kurope to the point of despair; art
about to give our young manhood

over to the repulsive slaughter thi
has long since sickened our senses."
And it is, indeed, ns our friend sail
hard to realize it. Wo have had onl
r trifling glimpses of war thus fa
Bodies of troops have marched In tt
recruiting parades with a frolicsoir
ntr; flags have been waved, nnd thei
has boon a deal of shouting and pa
triotlc fanfare but always with a hoi
iday atmosphere attached. Few rea'
ired that the flag might soon droo
with the weight of a deeper crlmso
“ than glows in Its noble stripes; thr
the brave lads in khaki were going t
f no summer encampment on the inarg
of some peaceful lake or verdant woo
to pick up a coat of tan and acquir
additional brawn of limb but, insteac
were bound for a soul trying order
that would cause wide gaps in th
® stalwart ranks and bring the bitter
0 '
ness of sorrow to many a home.

strength to the utmost; that before
| the ultimate of our endeavors eat
tiring the struggle to a close then
will very likely be a serious strair
t on our vast financial and industria
: resources with resultant condition!
that will tie decidedly disquieting te
. all of us.
, But with our troops at the front
preparing to enter the thick of the
battle tt will doubtless be borne in
upon even the most unheeding that
the hour of destiny is ringing for us
no less than for the war distraught
nations neross the seas; that we are
embarked In war with all its soul
sickening accompaniments and trials
and must fight to the end, be it IVittor
or otherwise to save ourselves from
possible destruction at the hands of
powerful and ruthless foes.
FORMING FORESTRY
RE6IMENT FOR WAR

The department of agriculture au

props, bridge timbers, (lumber, and
cord wood. The work will be perform
ed behind the battle lines in France
tmt may fall within the danger zone, j
The regiments will lie made up of |
picked woodsmen. Service in it will
give such men a chance to take the
part in the war for which their life
and training have peculiarly fitted
them. For the logging crews killed
axmen, sawyers, tie hewers, skidders,
teamsters and blacksmiths are wanted.
Millwrights, sawyers, nnd engineers
are needed to man portable sawmills
t which will form part of the equlS

1 period.
e The regiment will be made up of
I. six companies of 164 men each, aside
1 from battalion and regimental staffs,
drivers, and commissioned officers. It
- will be recruited at once and sent
overseas as soon as organized, trained
1 and equipped. It will probably be as
, sembled, at the engineering training
r camps at Fort Leavenworth. Kan..and

as a mobile logging and milling crew,
the J-egiment will be torganizod on
military lines and Its members will
