these duys. One was tall and wiry,
the other short and puffy, and an hour
of Swedish drill hud set the lesser of
the two blowing hard.
"I cnu't stand much of this," he

MANY GET SPECIAL HONORS
Vt Activities of the Organization Are
Described Field Service Now Has
Forty Sections Actually on
Duty on the French Front
Paris. Deeds of heroic courage by
American Bed Cross men on several
battle fronts have Just been described
here ln a statement by MaJ. Uruyson
P. Murphy, American Ited Cross com
mlssloner for Europe. He ulso gives
!ctalls of the vast and ninny-sided no
tivltles the organization has been car
rying on, which now ure being multi
plied ninny times.
Following out Its previously an
nounced project, t.'ie commission has
nlreudy established relief and rest sta
Hons for the troops at points where
they must He over while in tratislt from
the buse receiving camps to the train
ing camps near the front. Owing to
the demoralized condition of the
French railways, troorts ore often
obliged to spend between 48 and 7li
hours ln making a Journey that could
ordlniirily be uccomp'.ished ln 12 hours.
The cars ln which they ure trans
ported are frequently small French
freight cars, Into which 'M, more often
40, men ore crowded. The result has
been that cases of measles, mumps,
diphtheria and on numerous occasions
more serious diseases hove broken out
among the men. To provldo against
such an exigency, station dispensaries,
each containing ten beds, a doctor nnd
two nurses, have been opened. Sus
pected cases or men asking for treat
ment arc bundled Immediately Instead
of awaiting for the arrival of the trulu
at its destination. The patients ure
visited each day by some member of
tbe Ited Cross, who brings them tobac
co, sweets or something to read, the
purchases being umdc from the funds
which the United States has so gener
ously subscribed. ,
Another activity of the Ited Cross
consists in the bringing to France of
about twenty Belgian police dogs,
which will lie trained to go out and
look for wounded. The dogs have
been tried out in other iirinies, notably
the French nnd Itussltm, nnd have
reached n high degree of prollclency
in their work.
' Training the Dogs.
The method of training is to start
ln to teach the dog to fetch an object,
usually a mini's cap. Then he is taught
to seek out the wearer of the cap, to
return and lead the trainer to the
wearVr, supposedly wounded. The dogs
have also been used with great sue
cess In detecting the presence of
wounded men caught ln the enemy's
wire entanglements and unable to es
'Citpo through weakness.
With the formal transfer of the
American ambulance to the American
army, the ambulance censes to exist,
In name, as an auxiliary service of
the French army, nlthough It will be
virtually continued us such until such
time as the American army decides It
needs it for its own uses. The Amer
ican ambulance Is not, however, ut
the present time under tlio control of
the Bed Cross, although thut develop
ment may Inter occur.

I Hiring a local engagement around
Monastir In which the French were
endeavoring to take a strongly held
trench that formed the advanced ele
ment of a Bulgarian salient, the
troops advanced to the attack about
four In the morning, beforo tho sun
had made any activity ulmost Intoler
able. By live o'clock the blue-coated pollus
had sVnrmed over the Bulgarian en
trenchments, bayoneting or bombing
any of tho enemy who remained to
offer resistance. The enemy counter
attack was slow in organizing, nnd
the pollus began the tiresome work
of consolidating the position. Almost

were In dire straits.
Elllston volunteered for tho work.
During the henvlcst part of tho bora
bordinent, while tho enemy gun
were still showering high explosive
shells on the newly won territory, he
drove his machine over the rough,
shell-pitted ground. Instead of the
sign of the Bed Cross diverting the
Bulgnrlon fire, It seemed rather to
ottrnct It. Shrapnel and tenr-com-pelllng
shells burst all around the
young American, but uuder the most
terrillc fire he thrice made the Jour
ney In safety and carried to the base
hospltul every dangerously wounded
case.
Lose 50 Ambulance Chassis.
Charles M. Ashton of Philadelphia
was on duty nt n relief post follow
Inif up the French advance In. the
Champagne and also awaiting the call
to drive his machine to the front.
The Germans were vigorously shell
ing the entire district when a shrap
nel shell burst within twenty feet of
the young man's ambulance. Two of
the balls struck him, one In the ab
domen, the other In tho arm, while a
piece of the shell Inflicted a nasty
wound on his leg. Thnnks to the
prompt action of the surgeons, he
will recover, but will probably be
Invalided out of the service.
Despite the loss of fifty nmbulnnen
chassis when the steamer Orleans, tho
first American ship to run the Ger
man submarine blockade, was tor
pedoed about a month ago, tho
Amerlcnn field service sheceeded In
placing three new ambulance sections
In the field last week and two addi
tional transport sections.
One of the nmbulnnco sections. No.
30, Is composed entirely of Harvard
men, with Ralph R. Richmond of
Milton, Mnss., os section commander.
Transport section No. 242 has also n
number of Harvard men In Its ranks,
Its commander being n Harvard boy,
Thomas II. Dougherty of Philadel
phia. Transport section L Is com
manded by George O. Struby of Den
ver, Colo., a Tnlo graduate, who has
already won glory and the wnr cross
for bravery In action, while the other
two ambulance sections, No. fiO and
No. 70, ore commanded by Charles
A. Butler of New York, n graduate
of Columbia, nnd Arthur J. Putnam
of Deposit, N. Y., n Cornell man, re
spectively. Altogether, the field service now
bus forty sections nctually in service
at various parts of tho French front,
of which twenty-nine are nmbulnnco
sections, for transporting the wound
ed, nnd eleven transport sections, for
the handling of munitions and sup
plies.' This represents n personnel of
close to 2,.ri00 volunteers, for the most
part young Americans from the best
families in the United States. .
Amerlcnn aviators flying with th
French forces enmo In for their share
of mishaps during the past week.
Lawrenco Scnnlon of Cednrhurst, L.
I., otherwise known ns "Bed" Scan
Ion, hail one of the narrowest escapes
on record when his machine, getting
out of control, fell from n height of
,ri(H) feet and crashed onto the roof
of an army bakery at Avord, the
French training camp for aviators.
Scnnlon was making a trial flight
In n Nleiiport and had circled nrouiid
In the most approved professional
manner, and had started to descend.
Of n sudden his motor stopped. Never
before having bad experience with a
"panne de motour," tho young avia
tor decided the best courso was to get
to the earth with tho least possible
loss of time. He aimed for the avia
tion field, but an error ln Judgment
or n stray gust of wind drove him
too far, and he came down upon the
bakery roof with a force thnt drove
the nose of the Nleuport clear
through.
Unhurt, but slightly stunned, Scan
Ion scrambled out of the debris and
climbed down off the roof by means
of a ladder that had been left propped
agnlnsti the wall. Just ns he started
off to report tho captain of the camp
camo rushing up, and seeing Scanlon
going away from the scene of the ac
cident, ordered him bock to assist In
the removal of the supposedly dead
man, or to go call a doctor If It was
discovered ho was seriously wounded.
Scanlon saluted the captain, snylngj
"He's all right, captain."
"How do you know? Who was It
that fell?" demanded the captain.
"'Twim I, captain," replied the
young American, saluting again.
"Well, you have had tho most re
markable escapo I have ever wit
nessed," declared tho captain. "Young
man, you were never made to be In
jured by a fall from nn airplane.'"
Tho speed with which It fell was
such that the nose was completely
burled inside tho bnkery, leaving only
six feet of the tit II protruding through
the outside of the roof.

Individual Prowess in This War Counts
for as Much as It Did in Days
of Ancient Greece.
Individual prowess counts fur ns
much as It did In the tlnvs of niiclcnt
Greece, Wnhleiiinr KiiempfTert writes
In McC'lure's. Names will stand out ln
the history of this war like those of
AJax and Achilles In the epic of Ho
mer. Lieutenants Immeliiiiinn and
Boelkc on the German side have
brought down nine and ten adversaries
in mortal combat. Their exploits arc
tinged with a chlvalric glamour which
seems anything but modern..
When Boelke landed to aid nn enemy
whom he had wounded he wns greeted
with tlie comment: "Since It Is Iin
melmnnn who bent me, I am Satisfied."
When the German replied thnt It wns
"only Boelke," the Interchange of com
pliments seemed like a parley between
Hector nnd AJax.
The analogy between nomer's battles
and twentieth century aerial combats
extends even to the vehicles .used.
What Is n flying machine but tbe an
cient war chariot soaring on wings? In
many an encounter two man innclilnes
still bnttlo for supremacy one mnn
nn observer, tho other a pilot. Tho ob
server Is tho flgl'.rjng hero of old, wield
ing a miichlno gun Instead of a sword ;
the pilot his faithful charioteer.
Curry tho analogy still further nnd
consider how much Is at stnke when
battle plane meets battle plane. The
fnto of nn ancient army depended on
a prlnco In his war chariot ; the fate
of any army corps now hnngs on the
information gleaned by a victorious
filer.
Almost Correct.
Charles was an only child nnd al

"My father Is a sociologist," he told
Petey, who lived ln nn alley nnd had
met plenty of sociologists but had
never learned to classify them.
"A what?" nsked Petey.
"A sociologist, and ho Is very much
Interested ln studying the conditions
of tho mentally deficient."
Petey considered for a moment
nnd then asked: "Is ho ln a bughouse?"
Naturally.
