Germany, Austria, Russia, Italy,

FRENCH BRAVERY rs
TOLD IN OWN WORDS

Paris.-(Correspondence of The AS
sociated Press. THE first published
collection of heroic words and actions
OF the war on the Franco-Bsg ian
front has appeared in a volume of 300
pages edited by Paul Souchon. There
are remarks Of soldiers leaving and
other officers, the talk of the wounded,
and the words of dying heroes.
Well toward the beginning is the re-
ply of a soldier marching through
Paris to a news vendor who offered
him the latest extra, saying: Here,
my brave boy. is the latest news"
"News?" replied the soldier. ut is
we who are going to make the news"
Four young artillery men of the
contigent of 1913 passed along the
Avenue Trudaine in Paris on the way
to the station. A pretty woman on
the arm of her husband stopped on
the sidewalk and cried: Poor boys!
Good luck to you!" while tear rolled
down her cheek. One of the artillery
men saluted, then took Off his cap,
twirled it in the air and cried: Come
now, my dear lady. just a little smile
please"
Two sergeant-majors chosen from a
number Of volunteers left the French
trenches near the Vesle for an aban-
doned farm where, climbing to the
garnet, they were able TO discover the
situation of German batteries that
were causing considerable losses to
the French troops. The French three
inches soon forced the Germans to
change their position to the very spot

Advance Freight Rates on Cement.

Panama, March-Freight rates from
the United States to Panama are in
creasing rapidly. according to mer-
chants here 1t is stated that the rate
on cement has recently been increased
from s1.20 per barrel to S1.55, which
is more than the value of the cement
at the factory. Cement is now selling
here at 1915 a barrel.
1t is understood that the Panama
Association of Commerce is investigat-
ing the rate situation in view of the
many recent increases that have been
made by the steamship companies.

RULING OF CHIEF
MAY Be CHANGED
Medical Board OF Directors of st. An
thongs Hospital TO Protest
Action, II Is Reported.
RELATES TO AMBULANCE EDICT
Head of Police Department Changes
Custom Restricting Use of Ne-
hicle for Severe Illness.

A ruling made by Chief Of Police
Phil Miller with relation to municipal
ambulance service may be protested
before the Rock Island commission
by the medical board of directors OF
st. Anthony's hospital.
1t is understood that the commission
will be asked to modify the chiefs
edict, and it is quite probable that the
matter will be taken up either at a
regular or special meeting of the COM
mission.
Several months ago Chief Miller
made ruling that the police ambu-
lance would be used by the public
only in cases where the patient is I'M
able to walk to the hospital, or walk
to a private vehicle or street car to
be taken TO the hospital.
The chief at that time felt that the
privileges extended by the city to the
public in the use OF the ambulance
were being abused. There were in
stances when the ambulance was out
on a private case and an emergency
call for its use was made. In these
instances the police runabout had to
be pressed into service TO carry the
patients to the hospital. The chiefs
ruling did not affect any case where
the patient had TO be carried on a
stretcher from his home to the hos
pital. 1t only affected cases where
patients were able to walk.
Chief Miller argued at the time that
he made the ruling that there are few
cities in the country that maintain
ambUlances for any kind of private
cases. The ambulances, he states, are
maintained only for accident cases in
many cities. He declared that the am
bulance would not be denied any per-
son unable TO walk, but that its use
would be restricted only to such
cases.

Ask for Understanding.

The directors of the hospital re-
Gently had their attention directed to
a case where it is said the patient
could walk and the ambulance was
not provided for taking him to the
hospital. Delay was caused at the
hospital. Because of this the direc-
tors will ask for an understanding.

ABILENE LIBRARY HAD A Sue
NEUTRALITY-SUSPICIOUS. YEAR
Report of Librarian Shows Interest
in Reading is Increasing

For the Abilene Free Public Ii
brary 1915 was an exceedingly busy
year and one of steady growth in
various lines of library activity.
One gratifying feature was the
constant and extensive use of read
ing and reference rooms. bee line
for the library" seemed the motto
of some children whenever free, and
more older folk than usual availed
themselves of the opportunity to
advance I'm their work. High school
students continued to use the Ii
brary for study hall and reference
work, and plans are formulating to
increase the use by pupils in the
grades. High school English classes
were brought to the library and in
in the use of library helps,
which resulted in marked improve
ment in their method OF work. The
reading of non-fiction increased, and
the high school reading for credits
and the presentation by the movies
Of noted books together brought
standard works into circulation.
While not quite so many books
we're added this year as last, among
The additions we're many valuable
reference works that are also in de-
nand for general reading. The
binding of twenty volumes Of mag
lzines strengthened the reference
and added to the con-
-enience OF patrons.
Comparison of statistics shows
hat the Abilene library is serving
more families than are many librar-
es that have more books and a larg
II issue. This is due to the fact that
,ur library limits the number Of
membership cards to a families to
wo fiction and one non-fiction,
rhile many Libraries issue cards to
ach member Of a family, and issue
