Darrow, of Chicago, known to almost everybody in Illi- nois, is just home from a visit to the war front. "After looking at the battle from Vimy Ridge," he said, "two or three of us dined with General Mangin (the French General who has been doing brilliant things for 2 months) in a dugout. I wouldn't say we were under fire, but shells were falling-- not on us, but continguous--once in a while, "When the General came in we congratulated him on his successes. He smiled, and drew something from his pocket, patted it and said, "This is what is doing it; not my genius." ""This' was a gold mounted rab- bit's foot--which shows that he is a human being as well as a great general." Stock farming has taken a highly original turn in Milford, Mich.

I wish to record in General orders of this corps a tribute to the services and extraordinary devotion to duty of the 88th Aero Squadron, from the period of August 8 to Sep- tember 3, 1918. This squadron has repeatedly per- formed missions involving hazard, has repeatedly in the ac- complishment of its mission, fought largely superior enemy forces, and has under great difficulties, achieved excellent results.

Many of the states were slow in registering their wom- len, and ghe indications are that be- {cause of this the Government will it- | self undertake the work of mobiliz- ling the women of the country, in or- | der to secure their most complete co- | operation. The women of Illinois, | however, are anxious to show the i Government that no form of compul- sion has been necessary to insure | their patriotism and to be able to {offer the Government a 100 per cent | registration, secured by their own ef- forts. 690,647 of the women of Illinois 'have already been registered and in every county in the state active pre- | parations are under way for a clear- |up registration in November, by the | local units of the Woman's commit- tee. Whereas a year ago, a record | was kept of only women who volun- |tarily registered, now each registerar |is requested to hand in, as well, a list of any women refusing to re- gister, and those names are kept in a separate file, that the entire woman population of a town may be ac- counted for. Massac county recently registered ¢6.4 per cent of its wom- 'men, and every county is striving hard for a 100 per cent record. Registration does not necessarily mean offering one's self for addition- al war service. If a woman is al- ready serving to her limit, in any form of war or civic work, or if a large family of children, or other exacting domestic or business duties, legitimately require all her time, no service is expected of her. But she is asked to register, since, in the eyes of the Government, registration is first of all a pledge of loyalty. Even if 'the war should come to a speedy close, no woman should claim this as an excuse for not registering, for the problems of the reconstruction period will be as many and as heavy as those of wartime, and women may find themselves able to help, even within the walls of their own homes, in ways which do not suggest them- selves to us now. For the honor of our country and its place in the Honor Roll of Illinois women, every one of our women should immediately get in touch with her local Woman's committee and ask to be registered. Near $15,000,000 Mark Sales of War Savings stamps at the Chicago post office and branch sta- tions are close to the $15,000,000 mark. Sales under the direction of the women directors in the various postal districts have been greatly stimulated by an honor award in- stituted by Miss Amy Marr, director general. The district making the largest sale each week is permitted to fly the War Savings honor flag on its carrier station. Brothers in Naval Service Leroy B. Hammond who has been training at the officers' school at the Municipal pier, Chicago, has been sent to Cleveland, O., for further training on lake steamers. His younger brother, Bertrand, has -en- listed in the naval unit of the Students' Army training corps at Northwestern University. The boys are sons of Mr. and Mrs' Guy S. i Hammond of 1 Crescent Place.
