HIS ART ENLIVENS THE
SOLDIERS' SECTION PAGES
When our drafted men began to be
called, many of them found that their go-
ing to war left them with uncompleted
obligations on their hands. In other
words, they were in a hole. Among un
thinking laymen, an Impression grew and
strengthened that any man who went to
war had the legal right to disregard Ills
legal obligations. I«V»r instance, a highly
intelligent young physician, who entered
the ranks as a lieutenant, was unhesitat-
ingly advised by a friend of his who stood
at the head of one of our big munitions
plants, (hat he, the doctor, had the right
to disregard a three years' lease which
he had made in other words, that bis en-
try Into service Immediately disposed of
the lease. Moth these men were clients of
the writer's, and both declined to listen
lo tne writer's adverse views upon this
very simple proposition, of course, they
were wrong. Do not forget that we have
always fought, both in war and peace, to
maintain integrity between men. Suppose
the doctor's id >a had been correct. Apply
it to your own case. You are a soldier.
Another soldier owes you five thousand
dollars which you need at some time in
the future for the support of your family.
If your debtor's entry into service ills-
posed of his obligation to you, where
would you be?
What actually has happened is this: Con-
gresb finally passed a measure which be-
came a law some months ago, called a
"moratorium." but better known us the
"Soldiers' and Sailors' Relief Act." This
act was passe J because Congress realized
that a uian who leaves off business to go
to war is placed at a tremendous disad-
vantage by reason of his ubseuce from ids
business and his home. Congress under-
took, therefore, not to declare contracts
void, not to interfere with the final oh
ligation to pay debts and carry out agree-
inents, but rather to give the'soldier and
the sailor a fig uing chance to defend him
self against civil actions instituted to en
force his obligations to give him. as it
were, his day in court. Therefore, the
moratorium, which is a term indicating de
lay. This moratorium or relief act doesn't
interfere with the final obligation resting
upon you under your contracts, nor dot s
it avoid such contracts, tior does it affe< i
your obligation ultimately to pa.\ your
debts. It merely prevents enforcement of
certain obligations until your return. It
holds up foreclosure sales under mortgages,
levy of attachments, entry of certain Judg
ments, the entry of ecrtain decrees, it is
uid intended, ii this brief space, to go
into the detailed effect of this act. If
there are claims against you, or mortgages
on your property, or, if, iu any way you
are liable to be involved iu litigation, con
suit a lawyer at one ■. .Many la\vyer> in
this crisis will lie glad to answer your
questions without marge. Courts in hie
various States have passed rules preventing
the entry of any Judgment, or ex/tutioii,
unless an affidavit is filed by the plaintiff
showing that the defendant Is not a soldier
or sailor. If h be a soldier or sailor, the
courts hold up the action. It is not the
writer's purpose to advise you of the full
scope of this act. Ills purpose Is to advise
you that there is such in act in force, and
that all that It attempts to do is to delay
the procedure in a large number of casus
set out in the act, In order to prevent the
soldier or the sailor from being taken by
surprise when his back is turned. Your
obligations still hold against you, ami on

FIIANCK, June •*><). (Correspondence <»f
the Associated Press.> The task of con-
centrating divisions for a modern battle
oil the western front Is by no means an
easy one. for It is naturally the enemy's
chief concern to prevent such a movement
from being successfully and easily ac-
complished.
Ilapld concentrations are essential, or
else the all-important element of surprise
is lost, and rapidity depends largely upon
the skillful use of railways already over-
burdened with the normal demands of the
troops in the assault area. Per this rea-
son th» enemy's long range fire, as well
as a considerable proportion of his bomb-
ing airplanes, are concentrated upon the
railroads in the back areas.
Pnder normal conditions, the ordinary
straight railway line is not particularly
vulnerable. Being so narrow It is a diffi
cult target to hit. The curves of a rail-
road are, however, much more Important.
The destruction of a section "f rail on a
curve means more trouble than the de-
struction of half a dozen sections on the
straight.
Sidings, railway stations, and places
where there Is a network of rails, and
where there are points, Junctions, and
Shows; Goose-Egg, of the Alabama Min-
strels; Alfred Noreutn, of the Chalntz
Moore Stock Company, and others used to
the spot-light.
Anion? the musical offerings there will
be featured G. W. Moscley, "deep sea'*
bass soloist; Peterson and Dodd, mandolin
and uuitnr artists, and Johnson, .lacks »n,
Shropshire and I>yer, composing the Cni4t>
Travis Colored Quartet.
Sergeants Wightmun and Norcum will
appear In their latest hit, "Going to War."
Sergeant Mahoney Is directing the or-
chestra.
other special types of rail, are eveu more
Important than curves, for damage done at
a vital center may completely delay traf-
fic for many hours. Such rail centers be-
hind the German lines are subjected by
the Itrltlsh to a form of "time bombard-
ment" so devised that all repairs have to
be carried out under the most harassing
conditions; and not an hour passes with-
out shells or bombs bursting iu the af-
fected ar«a.
An important result of this concentra-
tion against the rail centers is that troops
cannot be massed for an attack without
undergoing a certain amount of morale-
shaking experiences first. There is no
peace for them by day or by night. Pn-
der these conditions the troops are stale
before the attack is launched.
As this long range bombardment is con-
trolled chiefly by airplane observation, an
enormous advantage lies with that side
wlildi In predominant in the air. By the
superiority of their airmen the allied arm-
ies are able to sweep all roads and rail-
ways in the enemy's rear with concen-
trated artillery fire by day and night;
whilst large squadrons of bombing air-
planes keep the German rest areas and
billets perpetually under fire.
Thus the German soldiers are kept in a
state of nervous tension, the casualties
are heavy, and the extra work involved by
the ever -Increasing difficulties leads to
the concentration being, continuously de-
layed and hung up. DIvUlous suffer and
lose their fighting value without over
being launched against the enemy.
All these things, together conspire to
make the German concentrations difficult
of accomplishment and more and more de-
pendent upon the weather, which alone can
suspend the British and French aerial ac-
tivity and hamper observation. Every
day's delay In preventing a German con-
centration is of the utmost value to the
allies, who can prepare and strengthen
positions, bring up reinforcements, con-
