Infantry, American E. France." ENGLAiillSES" AMERICAN TROOPS London. July, 16. The brilliant contribution of American troops to the allied defense at Fossoy figures conspicuously in the battle reports under big heads and is made the subject of special mention in the editorial columns of the morning newspapers. The newspaper comment tlrus far is somewhat restrained, pending a clearer indication of the enemy's immediate intention.

But the tenor of all editorials is hopeful. None of the commentators expresses a final opinion as to whether, the Allies are facing a main attack. In some quarters the weight of the German blow is regarded as inadequate for an adventure on which so much depends, and consequently it is. assumed in these quarters that the blow may be a feint or partial operation leading to something bigger. The Times, among others, looks for further developments elsewhere, although it believes that "this unquestionably is the outset of Germany's supreme effort of the present campaigning season.

Cheers In House. It is remarked here as being too early to pronounce any opinion on the great battle east und west of Rheims, but the' fact that the Germans this time have not been able to repeat previous successes or make any substantial advance has been received with undisguised relief. ihis was echoed In the hearty cheers which greeted Chancellor Bonar Law's announcement in the House of Commons last Monday evening, "cheers which sounded with equal vigor for the American successes as for the tenacity of the French and Italian attacks and In appreciation of General Foch's encouraging words that he was well satisfied with results of the first day.

F. A. Haxton of Ithaca. Mrs. Drake is staying with her parents for the duration of the war.

Her husband enlisted in the Marines last January. Ilia letter: "Somewhere in France, "June 19, 1918. "My Dear Wife: "It has been a long time sine you heard from me and a longer time since I heard from you or home, as I never have received any mail but one you wrote the day I left America and I worry and wonder how my wife and little baby are getting along. I can only hope for the best and hope everything is all right. "We have just come out of the trenches and are back in a little town out of danger where we can rest and reorganize our company and though no one knows how long we will be here, it will be a month no doubt, and possibly longer.

"Did you see in the papers what the Marines have been doing over here? Well, dear, I have been through it all and by good luck and the help of God came through safely and- am as well as ever. I also know I have a few Germans killed to my credit. Sounds funny, doesn't it? If you could have seen all I have you would want to get them too. "I hope I will hear from you soon, but as we are changed and moved so much it is hard to tell when I will receive any mail. I hope you and little Viva are both and give my best to your people.

With love. "Your husband, "ALTON." MIDDLE AGED MEN NEEDED BY MCA. "The United States will accept slackers and pacifists into the ranks of its fighting forces; the Y. M. C.

A. cannot recruit workers from these classes for service overseas," says Dr. John R. Mott, general secretary of the National War Work Council. "And yet the Y.

M. C. A. is charged with t'lie responsibility of keeping pace with the military expansion of the nation. Italy, also has made demands upon America and- today more than a hundred workers have been sent into her armies and for the period of the war the Y.

M. C. A. will supervise the work of keeping stiff the morale of t'hose wonderful Italian armies. "If the Y.

M. C. A. is to succeed in these tasks which the association has undertaken, the middle-aged men of this country must come forward in greater numbers than ever. The war Personnel Board recruited more than 900 men and women in Ma3T.

Dr. John R. Mott, general secretary of the National War Work Council, came back from France and said that more than 2,000 must be recruited in June, and a thousand a raont'li during the summer. Every -state and county and community is being organized to seek out the men and women who should go. I know from observation how much the boys in France appreciate the presence of a good, whole-souled American woman.

I know from careful investigation what kind of men we should send. Here's the kind of man I think can be of greatest service in France: Must Know It's War "First of all, although he is sent overseas by Y. M. C. he must be ready to do the job that comes, before him to do.

He must' be a man of conscience, integrity, hjgh ideals and ability for he is going up against the biggest job that it was ever given man to do. "The Y. M. C. A.

"vvorker must go in there with the idea firmly fixed in his mind that unless we win this war it were better for America to be annihilated rather t'lian retreat one step in the determination to prevent the barbarous Hun from imposing his umerciful sway over the world and sweeping democracy from the earth. "Ho must be a man who believes in the war work of the Y. M. C. A.

and can grasp the meaning of its wonderfully human and spiritual program, and who, seeing all this, can be enthusiastic about his job and consider it a great privilege to perform it. "And last, he must be a thoroughbred a dead game sport in the best sense of the term who can go through the whole war game and not flinch, in spite of the slaughter, the blood, the mud, the discouragements, the desolation and horror of it all. He must go through it all by trie sheer good nature that sees above it all his high ideals triumphant and democracy vindicated and scattering its blessings upon mankind." That's the opinion of a man who has been a Y. M. C.

A. worker for many years. He admits that what he has seen In France has convinced him that in this war the Y. M. C.

A. has been born anew. Never has he seen such opportunities for service, he says, and never has he seen an organization rise to meet them as the Y. M. C.

A. has But he warns that the work will falter unless even greater efficiency is achieved. The call is now and for as far ahead as one can see a call for workers, going overseas to be with Corporal Duncan Hutchinson Took Part in Engagement that Put Division and a Half of Germans Out of Action Came Through Unscathed. Corporal Duncan C. Hutchinson, who went over the top against the Germans with Company of the 23d U.

S. Infantry the middle of last month when the Americans were making their gallant stand against the Boche drive at Chateau-Thierry, has written vividly of his experiences and sensations under ieavy fire to his mother. Mrs. S. G.

Hutchinson of 104 East Fall street. Hutchinson received the letter, dated June 17, only a few days ago. Although subjected to the most severe machine gun fire, Corporal Hutchinson came out of the battle unscathed, he writes. It was not his first baptism of fire, however, a3 the Ithaca soldier has been in 'Ae front lines for some months and only recently has returned to his post after recovering from a wounded leg. A division and a half of Germans were routed by the Yanks in the engagement, he says.

His letter in part follows: The Letter "Dear Mother: "I received your most welcome letter of May 14 and to say that I was glad to hear from you would be putting it very mildly. "I suppose by this time you have read when the 23d went over top. I am writing this letter just behind the lines. If I ever had a guardian angel, he surely stood over me when I was on the field during the battle. I can't very well tell you what I was thinking of at the time but I am glad to say that I was not afraid and indeed, was surprised at the way I went over with the company.

It certainly is no joke to walk across an open field with machine bullets whistling all around you. I must have a charmed life, for I did not even get a scratch, although the fight was raging all about me. "This letter leaves me in the best of health and I am feeling fine. "We had the pleasure of putting a division and a half of Germans out of the fight in tje sector we held during the battle I was in. I rather think they have some new ideas about us just now, too.

If he has accumulated enough money so thrt he can afford to be lazy, his usefulness may end even earlier." Alkali in Soap Bad For the Hair Soap should be used very carefully, if you want to keep your hair looking its best. Most soaps and prepared shampoos contain too much alkali. This dries the scalp, makes the hair brittle, and ruins it. The best thing for steady use is just ordinary mulsified cocoanut oil (which is pure and greaseless), and is better than the most expensive soap or anything else you can use. One or two teaspoonfuls will cleanse the hair and scalp thoroughly.

Simply moisten the hair with water and rub it in. It makes an abundance of rich, creamy lather, which rinses out easily, removing every particle of dust, dirt, dandruff and excessive oil. The hair dries quickly and evenly, and it leaves the scalp soft, and the hair fine and silky, bright, lustrous, fluffy and easy to-manage. You can get mulsified cocoanut oil at any pharmacy, it's very cheap, and a few ounces will supply every member of the family for months. lENT'i-SELL HOUSES and APARTMENTS Journal Want Ads are read by an audience of 35,000 persons every day.
