last evening when their special stop
ped, returning from Hog Island to

their train and cheered the President
and Mrs. Wilson, and the President
made a short address, in which he
told them that they were nearing the
time when they would be put on
their mettle, at the sides of those
Americans now in the thick of the
fighting; that they were fighting for
a righteous cause and their duty was
plain—to emulate the splendid ex
ample of the United States troops
who had so distinguished themselves
in the last few weeks.
There was more such fighting and
much more to be done, he told them,
and much o fit was to fall to their
lot. Fresh, strong, young manhood
was facing a big task, a man's job.
He bade them go to the field with
the thought that they were fighting
for a principle of the world to exist
in freedom and liberty.
Then the boys cheered the com
mander-in-chief again as his train
started for the Capital and their
train moved northward.

PREPARE ARMOR
FOR OUR TROOPS
Famous Experts at Work at
Metropolitan Museum Re
viving Ancient Ideas
Washington, Aug. 6. Official an
nouncement was made by the War
Department last night that armor for
use by American soldiers in France
was being modeled by experts in the
armorers' workshop of the Metropoli
tan Museum of Art in New York City.
The armor being modeled there in
cludes helmets, shields, and breast
plates. The work is being done for
the Ordnance Department, which has
been seeking to give the American
soldier the best armored protection in
the world.
The official announcement issued
by the War Department revealed this
interesting story of what is being
done:
"Comprising all that was best in
the types of armor used in the days
of the ancients, this armor, in some
instances, is being wrought into shape
on ancient anvils and by hammers
that were actually used centuries ago.
"In direct charge of the workship
is a French artisan whose skill has
been known to collectors the world
over and whose forebears, for genera
tions back, have kept alive the dying
trade of the armorer.
"This war in Europe, which has
brought back into use many discarded
weapons and practices of medieval
warfare, has found use for armor as
well. This is shown adoption
of steel helmets by air the warring
powers; in the use of heavy breast
plates by the Germans and lighter
breastplates for attack by the Eng- I
lish; In the armored waistcoats used I
by the Italians, and In trench shields,
which all the armies are using.
