WAR NEWS FEATURES


LONDON, Nov.4 411.-(By Mail to
New York )---Thet Bravery Of 16-
year-old French g1sl, who was found
wounded while acting as vivandiere
for stricken British soldiers on the
firing line along the Aisne, is lauded
by Corporal s. Healy of the Royal
Irish regiment, in j letter home.
It was after oke cE the hsrdest
fights of the war, and dozens Of
wounded soldiers were left lying out
in the open with little prospect Of
relief until the next day. Most OF the
poor fellows were nearly mad with
thirst. Many We're delirious, and 9th
ers were just sensible enough to keep
murmuring for water. "Then we
heard gentle football" the corporal
added, "and, looking up, we saw a
charming girl Of 10 picking her way
through the piles of dead and wound
ed. She had brought milk and wine
to relieve our thirst.
1--WE learned that she was from a
farm nearby, just out of the line of
fire, and she had risked her life in
coming there to give US something
to drink because she was grateful to
the British troops for helping to drive
the German invaders back. She seem.
ed to be without fear, and tripped
briskly along in spite Of the shells and
rifle fire.
1--WE were all stricken with grief
when she was carried into the hospital
next day. She had been shot on the
way back. 1t was nasty wound,
but after an operation the doctors
hoped she would pull through Every
soldier who saw her prays for her ev-
cry night"

pressed by Auffenberg ut Krasnick
| and Lublin, and his generals had

cided 10 hold on, refusing to sacrifice
the coming victory near Lemberg for
the sake Of safety in less impor-
tant position. His judgment was vim
dicated, for Auffenberg was finally
forced back and Lemberg fell.
The grand duke possesses three
qualities which Suveroff said--"are
needed by all generals, most of all by
kussians steadfastness, steadfast-
lness, steadfastness," He also has the
lcdurage to buy victory with risks, the
lack of which quality was RESPONSE
bic for Kuropatkin's failure in the
Russo-Japanese war. Nicholas fore
saw this, and suggested that he him.
self should take command. But timid
counsel prevailed. 1t wouldn't do for
a member of the imperial family to
run the risk of failure. He implored
and protested but to no avail. How
ever, when the great European war
bfoke out the grand duke had his own
way.
Nicholas always was a risked.
When lieutenant in the Pavlovsky
guards he once set his horse to jump
u wall. The jump was easy, but be-
hind the wall few yards off was a
deep ravine. Failure to land truly
would have meant death. The grand
duke jumped and succeeded.
In the recent campaign he has de-
veloped into a soldiers general. Some
officers think he is too much 30. He
treats every one in the army, ire
spective of rank, in the same way.
Here the rank and file are still ad-
dressed as 'thou," form not per-
missibie with men Of position. The
grand duke uses thou" not only to
soldiers, but also the officers, which
pleases the soldiers greatly, but which
displeases the officers.
big Nicholas" is ON the job every
minute. The train with nine cars
which constitutes the staff headquar-
ters flies from one corner of Poland
to another. During the big battles
Mt the end of October, the train NOV
ed all along the Grodno- Vladimir
Volynsk line. AT every station sheaves
of kilograms were received and sent.
As the train steamed out of Brest-
Litovsy, the commander in chiefs
sharp eye saw sentry who was
standing in an attitude not in accord
with regulations. He caused the train
to return, jumped out, took the SEN
try by the shoulders and put him in
the proper position. He then sum-
moned the officer of the day and ad-
ministered a personal rebuke. He is
strict disciplinarian, but not mar
tinet, and he demands that all his
officers shal be disciplinarians.
As soldiers general, the grand
duke rejects the notion that a corps
commander should be twenty miles
behind his men, an army commander
fifty and commander In chief . hun.
dred. When plans are being drawn
up, big Nicholas" keeps well behind;
but when the fighting Is going on, he
often appears among the fighters.
During the terrific fighting around
Koshonitsa the grand ducal automo-
bile, marked by blue and white flag,
drove slowly down road upon which
German shells were falling. The ST.
berians with whom the commander in
chief is particularly popular, raised
such cheer that their comrades In
the trenches imagined . great victory
had been gained Next day The Cor
mans were driven along the Pilitss
and abandoned four guns.

For several thousand years TINS San
Juan basin and surrounding country
seems to have been accumulating ma
terial for the moving picture produc-
lion, is the conclusion reached by G.
b. Garrison, of New York. general
manager Of the Durango Film Pro-
ducing company, who has been here
for a fortnight investigating the op-
poltunities the region affords for the
business. The country has the real
magic for the subject matter, and ma
ture has provided the finest scenery
the company could possibly have at
its disposal. History, romance, folk
lore, in fact the things that the NOV
ing picture clientel jSfrah ahahoz
diet, we have in abundance.
When the moving picture produc-
ers arrive here with their whirring
machines they will find that we have
everything except the oceans, found
anywhere and wealth of material
that other regions cannot offer. We

Il at represent the most modern form

Close at hand are three Indian res
ervations, the Ute, Navajo, and the
Jaoarilla Apaches, where tribesmen of
all stages of existence may be found
from thafe as primitive as the in
habit ten Columbus first sight
ed ksES this continent, to the ones
who TepDesent Uncle Sans most ap-
proved methods of civilization.
We have historical material so an
cient that it makes anything on the
Atlantic seaboard appear to be as
clothes. Several hundred years before
the Mayflower or any other excursion
beard landed passengers on the New
Ergiand coast, dwellers in northwest
ern New Mexico lived in five-story
sKyserapers and parts of these resi-
dences dot the landscape in the Aztec
vicinity today. When the Pyramid
tui'ders flourished in Egypt, the Cliff
Dwcllers were progressive "citizens"
of this southwest. Over in the Mesa
Verde National park today, their
homes stand in a state of preserva-
ton. The Durango Film Producing
company has the consent of the gov
ernment to use any material the park
affords and scenario is now being
written which will be laid amid the
homes of these prominent" early day
folk.
Ponce de Leon sought in vain for
the fountains of perpetual youth the
Indians told him about. When the
moving picture producer comes to our
midst, he will not have to seek these
as we have three nearby, Trimble,
Pinkerton and Pagosa-the places
where in old days the medical man
sat and where the pipe of peace was
smoked but where in these modern
times the thermal waters wash the
age lines away by restoring the
health. Every one of these spots
would make an exceedingly pretty
setting for scene. The very magic
of the spirit of the departed Indians
watching over their old haunts could
be caught by the camera.
If the Mexican is wanted in his
home life, we have him in numbers
r these parts. A trip, risking life
and limb, to Carranza's- is it Vii
la's--realm, is wholly unnecessary.

About City Water Supply.

One of the problems confrontlne
cities IN Oklahoma, Is an adequate
supply of good water. We need only
to remind orselves that most every
year there is a season OF varying
lengths. anywhere from five to eight
weeks. when our water supply hangs,
as It were. upon a thread. During a
part of which time. at least. it's use
is restricted to absolute necessities.
when the edict goes out: "All
sprinklng of lawns or watering of
trees forbidden" This condition is
not only very damaging but danger
Gus as well, and the proposition is
one that needs to be pushed with
considerable vigor.
Several solutions have been Offered
from time to time such as daming
the Cottonwood at the Cimarron
river. dredging the channels leading
the water supply to the plant a res
ervoir somewhere south Of tee City.
shallow wells and deep wells. etc.
either of which plans of course, have
more or less merit.
While there is no immediate cause
for alarm there can be no doubt in
the mind Of anyone who has In any
way kept in touch with our expert
ence in this respect during the past
lew years. that the question OF de-
pendable water supply is one OF the
vital issnes confronting the city at
