SOLDIERS AT HOME.
THEY TELL SOME INTERESTING
ANECDOTES OF THE WAR.
How the Boys of Both Armies WhtIed
Away Life I'm Camp--Foraging Ex-
periences, Tiresome Marches
Thrilling scenes on Battlefield.

Col. Robert c. Clowry, president Of
the Western Union Telegraph Company
is possessed of remarkable resourceful-
ness As an illustration of this char
acterlsti ii may be said that he sent a
wireless, telegraphic message forty years
before the names Of Marconi or De
Forest were heard of.
1t happened back in Civil War times
when Col. Clcwry was an assistant
quartermaster In charge of the United
States military telegraph service in
the department of Mississippi, Kansas
and Arkansas. In the course of one
campaign Capt. Clowry, as he was
then, discovered that he was unable to
communicate with detachment of
union troops ON the other side of the
Missouri river. The night was pitch
dark and the rain was descending In
torrents. The stream was so swollen
that an attempt to cross 1t would have
meant certain death.
Clowry learned that the esssmy was
marching on the union army and ex-
pected by means of a flank movement
TO surround 1t. The confederates had
planned to compel the surrender of
their foe, as the latter could not re
treat without being driven into the
river. A successful defense against the
attack seemed impossible, as the con-
federates largely ounumbered the
unionlsts.
Various expedients rapidly crossed
the mind of the young telegraph chief.
He thought of firing gun 30 that the
reports would correspond with the
ticks of telegraphic key. The scheme
proved futile because with the type of
gun then in use 1t was impossible to
discharge one shot after another with
sufficient rapidity.
Pacing back and forth in the pour
Ing rain as he wrestIed with what
seemed an unsolvable problem, the
captain of the wire" CHANGED to see a
locomotive standing ON a siding The
sight prompted a new idea He leaped
Into the locomotives cab and finding
that the firebox contained nothing but
wet ashes, hastily cleaned it out, filled
the boiler TO the right level klndled
IRE and soon got up steam. Then the
engineer operator began to foot the
engines whistle and out into the black
ness of the night he sent series of
blasts timed In the same sequence as
the well known "call' Of the key. Pres
emily came an answer. The telegraph
chief OF the distant army had heard
the whistling and was replying on a
bugle.
Communication had been established
and the whistle. under the command of
Clowry's practiced hand, shrieked out
Its warning and saved 10000 soldiers
from disaster.
