BOOKS FROM CAMP CODY
LIBRARY SENT OVERSEAS
CAMP CODY, N. M„ Oct. 2S Five
thousand copies of popular books have
been shipped overseas from the camp
library here. A call for 500,000 books
for the men overseas to read this
winter was issued and Camp Cody's
library responded with 5,000, having
sent S.000 east on troop trains re
cently.
In spite of this drain on the library,
there are plenty of books here for
the new men who have been arriving.
The library is in charge of M. J. New
burg and Nubert Frazer. Newburg
was a banker in Riverside, California,
who, when he found he could not en
list in the army on account of his eyes,
engaged in army camp library work.
The worn and torn books in the cen
tral library have been replaced with
1.000 new and fresh copies througli
the army library association.

FRENCH LIGHT
TANKS PROVE
THEIR WORTH
WITH THE AMERICAN ARMIES
IN FRANCE. Oct. 28. Greater laurels
daily are being won by the French
light "tanks" which are co-operating
with the American forces in pushing
the Germans back toward the Rhine.
Among the many individual feats
of the tanks and their drivers tfhich
have come to light, one of the most
interesting, perhaps, is that of Hrlga
dier Collier, who has been decorated
with the cross of the Legion of Honor
for his work in a light tank which
enabled fifteen American soldiers to
capture seven hundred Germans.
Several hundred of these tanks led
the counter-offensive from the Vlllers
Cotterets forest in July, which marked
what appears to have been the turn
ing point of the war.
They broke through tie enemy's
lines, destroying his machine guns
overcoming strong centers of resist
ance and spreading panic and demor
alization in the German ranks.
Wherever the infantry was preced
ed by the "chars d'assaut" as the
French call them, the advance was
three miles a day.
It was these same French light
"tanks” which preceded the Amer
icans in their advance upon Juvigny
and Terny on the Soisson- plateau.
One of them, manned by a lieutenant,
killed more than 200 Germans on the
plateau.
Documents that have come into the
hands of the French staff show that
tin1 Germans are greatly worried by
the light tanks and are studiously
coaching their men in methods of de
fense against them.
The light ears have the advantage
of greater ’speed and of being more
easily bandb'd than the heavier tanks
They require a crew of only two men.

THEY NEVER ;
SING THE OLD :
SONGS NOW
PORTLAND, Ore.. Oct. 28 "I sup
pose the hoys go marching along sing j
Ing 'Tipperary' and other old songs?"
said a hobbling young girl to Lieuten- '
ant R A Hlythc. veteran of the bloody t
first battle of the Marne, who has been
wounded numerous times, gassed, and i
almost hurled alive when a bursting j
shell caused the cave-in of his dugout. 1
The lieutenant looked pained.
"There is an unwritten law in the j
army now that 'Tipperary,' ‘Keep the
Home Fires Burning,' and a few of
the old favorites of the opening of
the war are never sung," he said.
“And why? Because the fine brave
fellows who used to sing them are
now in blighty'for good. They've all
gone west.
"Sometimes a recruit will start one
of the songs, but there’s always some
■' --
hler man around who tells him some |
hlng. He never does it again.”
Lieutenant Blythe now has super 1
Ision of the guarding of shiphuilil- p
ng industries in the Eleventh district F
f the Emergency Fleet corporation. §

Your attention is called to the matter of your water supply |
| for this winter. Last winter we were short of water, caused |
«;•; IjC’
in large part by wastage, due to allowing the water to run £
continually, to prevent the pipes from freezing.
We have done everything in our power to insure a sufficient sup- X
ply for this winter, and we must stop the wastage! There- 3
fore we are hereby giving notice that wherever we find the X
water allowed to run continually, day or night, we shall im
mediately discontinue that particular service until spring.
All accounts are due and payable before the 1 Oth of each month.
When we are obliged to discontinue service because of 90m &'
payment, a charge will be made for the re-connecting of |
water, light, or telephone. ?■:
