Delmar, Md., Lad a Protege of Sen-
T 8
tor Smith, Who Helped Him
After Parents’ Death.
“American 'nt)rond m@n in Frm:x."‘
said Willlam I. Ritchie of Delmar,
Md., ‘‘were given a wide berth by the
French when they could take advan
tage of the opportunity to get away.”
Ritchie, a protege of United States
Senator John Walter Smith of Mary
land] was a condictor on a railroad
with the American Army, and he had
mény experiences which prove that
the senator was right in backing him
in his early life. ’
“I was once running a distance of
about seventy-five miles to the front
with ammunition,” he said, “and the
train was being operated by a Ftog
(Frefichman); that is, he was the en
gineer. We were running without
stops anywhere until we had gone
nearly to our duun\a‘tion, when we
were stopped by a chéf de zare, who
put up a red signal, ;
Pleased at Safe Arrival.
‘“The engineer came running up to
me and talked excitedly, shaking me
by the hand. I asked the interpreter
what the engineer meant and he an
swered that the man was congratu
lating me on coming out of the run
alive. 1 appealed to the ;chef and
threl\teened him with a report to head
q‘u:{t rs and he let me alone for the
r of the trip. liven then it re
quired tw{) hours and forty-five min
utes to make the journey, but we got
there on time.”
Ritchie declared that the American
engines were not constructed so as to
burn the French coal, but that the
gpeed attained on the roads was re
markable. He thought the French
woutld buy the American rolling stock
when the doughboys returned.
Enlisting to join the boys who built
the barbed wire entanglements,
Ritchie was transferred to the rail
road engineers because of his experi
ence with the New York, Philadelphia
and Norfolk, on the eastern shore of
Maryland.

Brandér Hughes, a Washington boy,
just back/from the front.
2 “We had to work under the mopt
difficult conditions,” he s#tid, “but our
company performed this job in one
of the most active sectors at a time
when the drive was at its highest
point and the need of support from
the u'ghry was imperative.
