So the only Boche left in the woods 5 : ^qow is under the sod.\ After ridding j -fhe woods of the Germans at the edge ; the woods where a large force of : L ; Boches were located, we surrounded a j L regiment of the enemy and finally suewt ceeded in defeating them after a hard K battle.

"The last I saw of him, he had a pipe between his teeth and was swinging the stick he carried," said Lieutenant Robertson after the battle. roo MUCH FOR HERO ' f 1 ?

HAYING BENEFICIAL EFFECT Literature Goes Directly to Homes and a Tremendous Influence for Good Is Thus Being Exerted" i Distributed in Schools. By E. A. BATCHELOR. Paris.?America's ideals, American past attainments and America's definite promises for the successful prosecution of the war are being presented to the^French people in a trenchant, convincing manner through the I medium of pamphlets prepared by the educational bureau of the American i Y. M. C. A. x " Through the co-operation of the de-! partment of public instruction of *1.1 - x- I .France, it nas Deen possi Die 10 uisTribute 120,000 of these pamphlets in the schools. A large percentage of j the literature sp distributed tiaS been taken directly into the homes and a tremendous influence for good is thus being exerted. The Y. M. C. A. became convinced some time ago that a general distribution of conerete information regarding things and aims American would be greatly appreciated npt only by ihe French people, but would also do mil en to promote connaence ana understanding between the two nations. The French are always eager to hear about the United States and never tire of asking questions about their great ally country. Much information of this kind of course had been spread by individuals but, unfortunately, all of the Americans in France have not a clear and accurate conception of their own national ideals nor even a very wide variety of exact information regarding their own land. Consequently, it was decided that pamphlets giving much information in st small romnass would serve an ex cellent purpose. Three of these pamphlets were prepared. Emphasizes Idealism. One, for the higher grades in the tehools or for the colleges, is by Dr. John Erskine, formerly of Columbia university, head of the Y. M. C.-A. educational department. Its title is: "The Ideals for Which America Stands.*? It deals mainly wfth the causes that impelled the United States to enter the war. The point tbat America is fighting for world liberty and not for any selfish ends is emphasized. 1 The second folder, "The Help Bronght by America to the Allies," is by Carl Holliday, professor of American literature at the University of Toledo, and a member of the educational department of the Y. M. C. A. Professor Holliday gives facts and fiiares to show how mnch the United States has done to help the allies both since she herself entered the war and before that time. The pamphlet also ontlines the program that the American government has pledged Itself to carry out In the way of furnishing men and food, to carry on the war to victory. This folder is for the. middle grades In the schools. P. A. F. Appelboom of the faculty of the University of Kansas, another member of t . Red Triangle^ educational department, Is the author of the third pamphlet written In simple language for the pupils of the primary .cranes.' Mr. Appelboom presents material similar to that used by his confreres. All three of the little folders have the merit of feeing plain, readily understood statements of facts. No effort is made to launch into lofty literary flights.. The writers have tried to give definite information and trust to ,the readers to form the proper conclusions therefrom. Refutes Foe Prooaaantfa. Beyond question this literature will have a beneficial effect in offsetting enemy propaganda, which in France had been taking the form of suggesting to the French people that America was merely a vocal and not a practical ally. No one could read the information put forth by the three pamphlets Trtthout knowing that the United States has accomplished wonders in getting a huge army to France inside a year after her declaration of war and continuing meanwhile her service of food, ammunition nnd credits to the allies.
