Prof. Tripp is going to become a

far as known, who has ever taken
this ?tep.
Duplicating the domestic adventure

Clarence A. Aspinwall. vice p:esident

Company, a well-known Washing- j
Ionian who has heen in France for
the Y. M. C. A. since May. returned
to the city Thursday. Mr. Aspinwall
brought back with him, besides his

Mr. Aspinwall. like several others.
seems to have been picked out by the
Germans as the special object of air
raids. The first night he landed In
France, he said. Boche planes came
over and dropped bombs, and the
night he arrived in Paris the same
thing happened, with the Hun Big
Bertha greeting him with ita roar the
morning after.
In July, he wa? In Italy, and was In
? the front line? when the Italians at
; tacked, helping In carrying out the
? wounded under flre. He wa? one of
1 the first civilian Americans to enter
{ the village of Chateau Thierry after
the United States Marines had made
! their memorable attack and captured
th? town on which the Germans
' counted as a starting point for Paria.
and carried ofT from the streets of the
town a Boche helmet and musket
Speaking of the spirit of the Amer
ican troops toward the war and its
end, he said :
"The American army, it has bren
my observation, from the highest
rank down, knows only one end to this
war and that is the smashing of the
Hohenzollern outfit for good and all
They want to finish the thing the"
Germans began bi their own fashion.
Despite their losses they would not
consider a negotiated peace. We have
suffered losses, losses perhaps more
than those of any other army pro
portionately, and the rank and file, ns
well as the officers, are determined
to do the job in such style that it
will never again have to be repeated."
Saw Colored D. C. Troop?.
In the sector in which he was lo
cated the First SeparatetBattalion of
colored troops from the' District of
Columbia was located, brigaded with
a French regiment.
"The only kick these asms* soldiers
had to make." said Mr. Aspinwall.
| "was due to the fact that they had
I been supplied with French rifles and
French bayonets and when they went
ever the top on a raid or an attack
| their pointed French bayonets wore
??? no use to them except as stabbing
weapons, having no cutting edge.
