American expeditionary forces, a record
that Is IipIU by a woman Mri Maude
Itadford Watren, the popular writer off
magazine article!' and stories
The Inns of (be 117th Field Signal.
Corps of the Kort.v-teioml Division know ,
that the foiecolnR statement Is true
There was no sign of mutiny among
them that day at Ahmeller aflur the
armistice was aliened when the bat
talion wai "piesented" to Mrs AVatren
by Colonel Ituby 1) Garrett following
a, speech which she said embarrassed
her greatly and left her In a state, of
confusion not at all military ai he
ended.
"Men, jour new major! Obey her In
nil her commands "
"t am sure," said Mr tVarren on her
cturn to America, ' that thee bo-i loed
and honored me pi lor to that day on the
Illir Ahr. The colonel, not I, put 'obey'
In the ceremonj." '
It was in Alsace that Mrs Warren re
ceived her first promotion and became an
humble corporal. She had been sent to
Belfort bv tbo V. M. r A. to Join the
lone "Y" women woiKer In that so-called
ciulet sector Being in a quiet sector was
not Mrs Wan en's Idea of the errand for
which she had gone overseas and when
she learned that three camionettes or
"chuck wagons' were going Into the
front lines she Inquired which was going
nearest to the German Mm-". When the
camlonettcs left Belfort Mrs. Warren
was on the one that had the longest
trip ahead
"When we reached a point two and a
half miles fiom the front line," Mrs.
Warren continued, "e met a lieutenant
who wanted to buv all our supplies for1
Ills company. We Knew, however, that
there were two companies In the trenches
which had had no 'V supplies for more i
than two weeks and had been reduced tb
Rpioklng coffee as a substitute for the.
desired weed. The "V truck driver, a
elergjman, and I stated the case to thei
lieutenant, and right there he showed
that he was n. regular American. He as-j
signed five of his men to help us get ouri
bupplles to those fellows In the tienches.
"We stalled with much stuff as
we could cany, and how they did pro-
test when t lifted a bundle neighing,
foVty pounds to my shoulder and pre
pared to go. They Insisted that I was
linilertnlrlni- Inn much, but I jUSt told
them that I Knew my capacllv, having '
made as a feature of my training ior
Y. M, C. A. serv Ice 'the. carrj Ing of my
godsons up and down stairs and around
tho grounds of their American home.
One of them weighs forty-eight pounds
nnd the other fifty-two. I convinced the
'Y' men and tho soldiers that forty
pounds was not too great a burden.
"At Chatciiu-Thleiry I had another
i.pportunlly to piove that mere men
Ton't know it all. When we Y' workers
were In the thick of (he fighting several
officers piotested that I was running u
necessarv risks In carry Ing my gas mask
at my side Well, I just replied that it
Inferfered with ins work when worn on
the chest, and when I showed them that
I could adjust it from the side almost
ns quickly as they could, they didn't In
sist." From the Marne Mrs. Warren went to
Ihe St. Mihlel salient, where she be
came a lieutenant for faithful service
In tho first-aid station' Then she Joined
(he Forty-second Division and went Into
the Argonne to become a major. She was
on tho Meuse when the armistice was
signed.
