Some War Stories
The Americans who took part in the
fighting recently at Viller3 Bretonneux
were delighted with their share in the
battle, says the Reuter's correspondent
at British headquarters, telegraphing
from the front. He says they were
quite new to any sort of warfare, and
described the barrage fire as equal to the
finest Fourth of July celebration.
A young corporal, only 21 years old.
although too badly wounded to be
taken immediately to the hospital, and
in great pain, gave his experience with
relish, the correspondent says: The
American had killed seven Germans,
which he considered to be more than
a fair equivalent for his wounds.
The young American's story follows:
"With a few others I was working
around a corner of Vaire wood when I
came across some German machine guns
in a wheat field. They were firing some
special type of bullet usedagainsttanks.
One of these wounded me in the thigh.
"I crept close enough to throw a
bomb which fell on one of the guns and
killed all four members of its crew. I
saw a man running from behind the
gun toward a dugout and I followed and
shot him.
"As I was retracing my steps a sixth
German stole up from behind and made
a thrust at me with his bayonet. I was
again wounded, but I killed the German.
I received my third wound
from a German I overcame just before
fainting from pain and loss of blood."
The correspondent tells of another
mere boy who described his adventure
in the fight. He had been In some
severe combats when the troops carried
the trenches beyond Hamel and had
been badly wounded in the leg.
While he was lying helpless two Germans
ran at him with fixed bayonets.
Leaning down with his head on his rifle
he just managed to pull the trigger and
a bullet went through the nearest German,
who was about a dozen yards
away.
The other still came on and the
young man managed to rise, parry the
German's bayonet thrust and bring the
stock of his rifle down on his opponent's
head. A searching party found him
lying there, with the two Germans beside
him.
Saloon Closing Reduces Crime. %
For those who have any lingering
HrmMo nc tn the efficiency of orohibi
tion in its relation to drunkenness and
crime, a startling realistic demonstration
was recently providentially given
in Philadelphia and vicinity. After the
saloons had been closed for five days
as a health-enforcing measure on account
of the influenza epidemic, the
following results were tabulated:
1. A decrease of at least 80 per cent
in the number of arrests for crime and
vice of all kinds.
2. In Camden, just across the Delaware
river, there was not a single arrest,
for drunkenness or assault and battery.
During the preceding three months the
arrests on these two charges alone
averaged over twenty a day. The number
of accidents in the Camden shipyards
has been reduced by 75 per cent
3. The Philadelphia police force is
amazed that the closing of the saloons
has so diminished crime and petty arrests.
"It's a real holiday for us and
it has been that way since the saloons
were shut down," declared a police lieutenant.
"Only one man was arrested
in our district. It is almost unbelievable."
All the police districts showed
a remarkable falling off in the number
of arrests. Even in the tenderloin districts,
where it is no unusual occurrence
to arrest one hundred persons a day
scarcely one was made. A captain of
detectives declared: "Philadelphia is
passing through one of the most enlightening
periods of its history. Crime
and every conceivable sort of vice have
been brought almost to a standstill as a
result of the closing of the booze joints."
There were fourteen violations of
thesaloon-closingorders, and it is known
that "boot-leggers" have been plying
their nefarious trade, so this may account,
in a measure, for the few arrests
that have been made.
It was the practice of a certain dame
of noble birth to drive around at intervals
to pay calls upon her acquaintances.
As she suffered from gout she
gave her card case to the footman and
directed him at each house as to the
number of cards he should leave on her
behalf.
Before sallying forth on one of these
expeditions, and when she was comfortably
seated in her sumptuous
equipage, she made a discovery.
"John," she cried to the footman, a
new and rather raw specimen, "I have
left the cards in the morning room. Go
and get them."
It happened that she had a large
number of calls to pay that afternoon.
At last, when the afternoon was drawing
to a close, they halted before the
palatial mansion of a noble duke.
"Leave three cards nere, jonn, commanded
the invalid, as her servitor's
head appeared at the carriage window.
John looked embarrassed.
" 'Fraid I can't, m'lady," he replied,
"You can't? And why not, pray?"
"Well, there's only the ace of diamonds
left, m'lady!"

Two Kings.
Twenty-five hundred years and mon
ago one of the greatest of ancient kings
as men sty le greatness?conquered and
subjected a great people to captivity
He made a God of his own for all mer
to worship. All people, nations and
languages trembled and feared before
him. Whom he would, he slewj and
whom he would, he kept alive; and
whom he would, he set up; and whom
he would, he put down.
What came upon him?
When he boasted of the great city
Babylon, "Mistress of the World," which
he had built?while the word was in
the King's mouth, there fell a voice
from heaven saying: "0, King Nebuchadnezzer,
to thee it is spoken;
The scene is changed.
A great King?as men style greatness
?laid a plan to subject the nations of
the world to his dominion. He overran,
conquered and made captive the people
of one small nation after another. He
worshipped and invoked a peculiar
God, fashioned after his own ideas, and
thus he boasted:?
"As I look upon myself as an instrument
of the Lord I am indifferent to the
point of view of the present day."
"The King holds his power by the
grace of God, to whom alone he is
responsible. He chooses his own path
and only decides his action from his
point of view."
"There is only one master in this
country; I am he and I will not tolerate
another."
"There is only one law?my law?the
law which I myself lay down."
"The best word is a blow?the army
and navy are the pillars of state."
"The army and the Emperor at its
head can alone secure the safety of the
empire and the peace of the world."
"The foreigner has learned the consequences
of offending the German
Emperor."
"It is the soldier and the army, not
parliamentary majorities and votes, that
have welded the German Empire
together. My confidence rests upon tho
army."
"Body and soul you belong to me. If
I command you to shoot your father
and mthers you must follow my comand
mothers you must follow my command
without a murmur." _
?
The Disabled Soldier.
The blind man or the cripple seated at
a street corner and'holding out his hat
to the passers-by will not be a familiar
figure after the war. The government
has made provisions that will insure
every disabled soldier against the necessity
of soliciting alms. These provision
are twofold in character; they include
compensation and education.
Compensation will be paid by the
government to every disabled soldier
and sailor, irrespective of his earning
capacity; but it may be withheld if he
shows himself indifferent to the opportunities
for vocational education
that the government will offer. For
permanent disability the monthly compensation
ranges from $360 a year for
the man with neither wife nor child to
$900 a year for the man with a wife and
three children. In addition to this
amount, if the man has a widowed
mother, he receives $120 a year. A man
who has lost both hands or both feet or
both eyes will receive $1200 a year.
The government does not expect disabled
soldier to be solely dependent on
government compensation. It proposes
to fit each man to earn his living, however
serious the handicap under which
he must labor. The work of training
crippled and blinded soldiers to be selfsupporting
has been brought to a high
degree of success in both France and
Enolanit and we mav exnect it tO b(
equally well managed in this country.
The man who must find his chief
happiness in dwelling on the days when
he was useful has a sad life. It is a
life from which most of our wounded
soldiers, however handicapped they may
be, are to be spared. The government
will provide them with the means for
the continuing, durable happiness that
comes from useful and congenial
employment.
Plan to Make Breweries An Asset.
Plans that will make the breweries
an economic asset of the country, In*
stead of a deterrent, are being laid before
the government by the brewers
themselves.
The proposition is to turn the breweries
into acid and vinegar factories,
the quality of acid to be produced being
such as to be useful in peace or in war.
The government has not as yet given
its approval to the step, apparently because
there are so many breweries that
all could not successfully go into this
business, and the government is nol
disposed to make any invidious distinctions.
It is evidently a question a
Washington, however, as to wbethei
the market in peace times would consume
all the vinegar, yeast and by-pro
ducts which the breweries would like t(
make. i
A .Memento.
James K. Hackett, the actor, tells the
story of a merchant who had been travelog
some months and upon his retttrtl
was informed of the death of a valued
friend.
A few days later he called on the be
reaved widow to offer his expression*
of sympathy, and added:
"I was a good friend of your late
husband. Is there not something of
bis which I could have as a mementc
of him?"
She raised to his her velvety browi
eyes, which a few moments before weri
moist with tears, and said;"

How the Indian Does It.
"The Chief' has smiled for the sec,
ond time since he came to France?and
I it is the talk of the th Infantry.
"The Chief' is Private Ross, a fulli
blooded Ute Indian. About a year ago
1 he threw up his job herding sheep in the
' barren hills of South Arizona, walked
1 50 miles downtoBisbee, "rode the rods"
I to El Paso and enlisted. In the traini
ing camp he was nicknamed "The
Chief." There also it was discovered
that "The Chief had unusual scout'
ing alibities?both hereditary and
t acquired.
i He was assigned as battalion scout,
i That's when he smiled the first time.
Chief Ross is hardly a model soldier.
He hardly ever salutes an officer and
says "Ugh" for "Yes, sir." and shakes
his head for "No. sir" Although he
has a fair command of English he talks
very little. Once only he was detected
saluting an officer?that was when
he had eone to the officer three times to
ask for a leave pass. The third time
he saluted.
"But "The Chief" wiped out all the
little black markk for sins of omission
in the fighting up on the Vesle.
A lone machine gun in a stone building
about 200 yards in front of the
Americans was holding up the advance.
It was broad daylight?3 o'clock in the
afternoon. The task of silencing the
machine gun was given to "Chief"
Ross and a picked patrol of ihree other
men. (
The patrol disappeared into the brush,
with "The Chief' leading, with his pistol
ready and two hand grenades in his
hip pockets. The emplacement was
"spotted" in the upper window of the
stone house. Two men were left out in
front in the bushes to draw the fire of
the gun, while Ross stealthily worked
up toward one side of the building and
his companion on the other. Ross
crawled up to the side of the building
unobserved and edged aorund to where
he could see the muzzle of the machine
gun protuding from the window. Two
seconds later a well placed grenade
burst in the room with the Germans
killing two and shattered the machine
gun. The surviving German executed a
strategic retreat through the rear window
and slid down to the ground behind
the building where he would be protected
by another machinegun farther back.
It was sure death to try to reach the
running German from cither side of the
building. The German was cunning
but not so cunninc. as "The Chief." He
swung himself up to the window and
crawled rapidly up the roof toward the
ridge pole. From that point of vantage
he could see the enemy without danger
to himself.
Three shots stopped the fleeing boche.
That was when "The Chief smiled
the second time, the boys of the th
Infantry declare. Some of them aver
that "The Chief" emitted the Ute war.
hoop, surprising the Germans so much
that they stopped firing for a few
minutes.
Once before the incident on the
Vesle, so the boys say, "The Chief
almost smiled. A lieutenant expressed
a desire for a pair of German field
glasses within the hearing of Ross
That night he went out and came back
within 40 minutes with a fine pair of
German glasses. As he presented
them to the Heutenant he merely said,
"Heap easy," and almost smiled.
??
Pick and Shove! Soldier's Friend.
Next to his rifle the American in*
fantryman in action in France has learn'
ed to cherish his pick and shovel above
everything else. By experience he has
learned that his piok and shovel will
save him from injury or death at times
when his other implements of war are
useless. V *7
In the thrust against the German!
n T ??1tr a?i/4 A nnnct AM (\orto i n rlo t?e
ill Juiy auu nu^uoi vu wvi lam Mays
the Americans advanced so rapidly
that the infantrymen were on the go
hour after hour. As their packs become
heavier some left behind piece by
piece parts of their equipment. Even
in some instances doughboys tossed
aside their mess kits and emergency
rations and canteens and their coats
but until the last they hung to their rifles
and their picks and shovels and went
ahead to victory.
The pick and shovel are often brought
into action in a hurry when it is necessary
to dig in to escape fragments of
gas shells or of shrapnel. It often happens.
as it did time and again during
the recent French-American drive north
of the Marne, that the infantryman
during an advance is too far behind the
enemy to make use of his rifles and that
when the enemy's big guns are turned
loose his only defense is to dig a hoh
in the field or along a roadwayor where,
ever he may be and make this bis shelter
until the attack is at an end or until he
is ordered elsewhere.
When the American infantrymen
landed in France, particularly those
who had not been taught modern meth
ods of trench warfare before leaving the
' States, and was handed a pick and
shovel to be included in his fighting
equipment he was astonished at flrat.
But the young man was adept at learning,
even with a pick and shove'
although many of tbem at home had

Step by step the British advanced out
of Kgypt through the land of Edom and
the Philistine littoral, pressing the Turk
northward until the whole tangled highland
of Judca and the Plain of Sharon
were cleared of the defilement of hla
presence. And now all Sahara and the
Plain of Esdraelon have been liberated
by the last great victory of General
Allcnby.
There remain doubtless demoralized
bands of Turks in the hills of Galilee
but they will soon have been hunted
down. All the lands on this aide of
Lebanon, where for two generations
Turkey has held only nominal sway,
will have been redeemed. And beyond
the Jordan the remnants ol the Turkish
force arc darting wildly about in Gilead
and Ammon, seeking desperately an
escape from between the British in the
Hauran and their Arabic allies moviog
north through Moab.
There is no way out for the Turki
except over the deadly Arabian desert
to the east. Whether they go out Into
the desert or remain to be made prisoners
is all one to the world. They are
thrust out of Palestine, and that atricken
land will know their misrule and
greed and cruelty no more.

A negro was boastine to a grocer of
the cheapness of ten pounds of auiar
which he had purchased at a rival shop.
"Let me weigh that package," aaid
the grocer.
The negro assented, and it was found
two pounds short.
The colored gentleman looked perplexed
for a moment, and then aaid:
"Guess he didn't cheat this child
much. While he vss getting the su
gar I stole two pair of shoes."
They had been engaged to be married
fifteen years, and still he had not
mustered up courage enough to aak
her to set the happy day. One evening
he called in a particularly spoony
frame of mind, and asked her to sing
him something tender and touching
that would "move" him.
She sat down at the piano and sang
"Darling I am growing old."
