YOUNGEST WARRIOR IN
ALGERIAN COMMAND.
French Boy, Determined to Fight,
Takes Place With African Troops.

Search for the youngest soldier has
resulted in the locating of Christian
du Jonchay. aged fourteen years. of
the Algerian cavalry. He is son of
Lieutenant Colonel du Jonchay of the
cavalry and grandson of General de
Sounds, who fought with distinction
in the war of 1870 and was killed in
December of that year at the battle of
Patay.
Not being able because of his age to
enlist in French regiment. Christian
who is strong and vigorous for his age
went to Algeria and engaged in one Of
the corps of cavalry. He is now at the
front and has taken part in several en-
gagements, in which he has borne him
self valiantly.
The youngest of the wounded is
Henri Derombier, aged thirteen. Young
Derombier. who was employed in the
hospital at st. Nicholas, was allowed
to go out and help bring in the wound
ed under shell and shrapnel fire when
he himself was struck by the fragment

Charles Trottemont, aged thirteen, of
Nancy. who is the oldest of large
family of children, declared when the
movement of troops began there

to defend France" so he followed the
Fourteenth regiment from Toul when
it passed through Nancy during the
middle of August and was adopted by
one of the companies of that regiment,
with which he made the greatest part
of the campaign Of Lorraine
He was chiefly engaged in running
errands. Lamenting that he was IN
able to handle gun. he succeeded in
getting himself adopted by the Fourth
regiment of heavy artillery. which used
him chiefly to pass shells. Captain
Michelant, who commanded the bat
terry. had an artillery uniform made for
him and treated him in every respect
as a real soldier He was able to avoid
putsuit of his relatives until. after
participating in so many battles, his
exploits disclosed his whereabouts. and
his family promptly reclaimed him
from the army

The SOlilOquy OF
an Old Soldier

You need not watch for silver in your
hair,
Or try to smooth the wrinkles from
your eyes,
Or wonder if you're getting quite too
spare,
Or if your mount can bear a man your
size
You'll never come to shirk the fastest
flight,
To query If she really cares to dance,
To find your eye less keen upon the
sight,
Or lose your tennis wrist or golfing
stance.
For you the music ceased on highest
note
Your charge had won, you'd scattered
them like sand,
And then a little whisper in your throat
And you asleep, your cheek upon your
hand.
Thrice happy fate, you met it in full cry,
Young, eager. loved. your glitt'ring
world all joy
You ebbed not out, you died when tide
was high,
An old campaigner envies you, my boyi

Billy Sunday, the baseball evangelist.
preached by special invitation in Phil
adelphia to several hundred members
Of that city's ultra exclusive social set.
His tabernacle was for the time the
drawing room Of the residence of An
thony J. Drexel-Biddle, more familiar
ly known as "Tony," at 2104 Walnut
street
But if society was looking for one of
his ripsnorting, slang singing, jumping
jack harangues he fooled them. He
was quiet, though intense, and he
didn't use word that was not perfect
ly proper and properly placed.
Before the unusual service the streets
about the Biddle home were aswirl
with scores Of limousines, and the
crowd entering the house looked like
one bound for fashionable wedding,
with it's top hats and costly furs and
millinery.

Afterward all the hearers of the pep

impressed. Mrs. Edward r. Stotesbury
thought so much of Sunday that she
invited him to preach in her home at
1925 Walnut street as soon as possible
and took him away in her own motor.
SO that she might better plead with
him. He said he would deliver the
sermon as soon as he found an open
date.

in the Biddle house:
