before a German officer. who exam
ined me. refused to answer his
questions and bertay my country. so
he handed me over to an Austrian
sergeant, who kicked me without

lions consisted of five ounces OF bad
bread and a handful OF boiled beans

the fields, and as we ate the seed
given US to sow or the raw turnips
and potatoes we had to plant often
we were punished by being tied to

Italian prisoners were treated worst
of all and systematically beaten by
the Austrians.

"Our food was worse and less than
that we had in camp, as we got 4
cents a day pay and were supposed to
spend it on food, although bread cost
81 a loaf AS we were ravenously
hungry because we had to work hard
we were compelled to rummage among
the garbage for food and even ate
rats and mice. We also got bones,
human bones they were sometimes,

1t is said the dancers, who included
some of Uniontown's best-known girls,

The dance was at its height when

In the moonlight the dancers. with
apparel under their arms and hair
streaming down their backs, were
seen to dash into the shadows Of a

With the approaching departure OF
the District National Guard to the
Southern training camp and its draft

Home Defense League of the District
Of Columbia, which now numbers 800
members, assumes great Importance
as an organization for the mainten-

While the Home Defense League,
according to its director, William P.
Emo, is intended to be a second line
OF police defense for the District, there
is no telling what position 1t will fill
before the war Is over.
With a motor car division of 200 in
course Of organization among its
members, a mounted constabulary of
fifty, a motor boat division in pro-
cess of organization, nine companies
Of rifles and in addition eleven pre-
cinct divisions. drilling in police de-
partment methods, the Home Defense
League has every indication Of being

US a knife and a box Of matches. We
hoped to catch some animal, kill it

days in the direction OF the Italian

where we found a pigsty. We took
shelter here and found some potato
Feelings and turnips, which we ate.
On the following day l went out
in search of food and nearly caught
a stray chicken, but I heard voices

climbed over the parapet of a trench,

France and can be put together, the
camp is cleaned out. Another sec
ton arrives to take up the places left
vacant so that camp continually pre-
sents a spectacle OF changing faces,
of enthusiasm and high spirits.
Life OF les ambulanciers," as the
French call them, is not by any means
all pleasure. The cars that come and
go from the front bear silent witness
to what they have experienced. A
machine will come rolling in with
ziz-zag cut through its roof, caused
by shrapnel. Sometimes the charred
tonneau Of car, towed in by another
machine, will relate a tale of q piece
Of shell that caused the gasoline tank
to explode when the driver did not
escape so easily and was either buried
at the front or brought in to the
American hospital at Neuilly.
AS proof of the dangerous and seri-
Gus work done by the American am
bulance, Section 10, of the field serv-
ice. has just been cited as q whole,
while two of its members have re-
ceived individual citations with awards
of the coveted croix de guerre or war
cross.
They are Thomas q. Cassidy. of
Chicago, a graduate Of Chicago Uni
versity, and James L. Thompson, Of
Indianapolis, a graduate of Wesleyan
College. Both are mentioned in the
official records of the corps darmee,
and received their citations for work
done on the Verdun sector.
Cassidy was wounded by a piece Of
shrapnel before Verdun on May q
last while engaged in picking up the
wounded during what even his cita-
ton refers to as one Of the most muir
derous bombardments Of the front.
He set of for an advanced dressing
station during full daylight and over
a road continuously under fire OF the
German guns. He had nearly a half
mile stretch to cover before he could
get out of fire from the advanced
dressing station which was only
protected sap, as are nearly all the
first line stations In the Verdun dis
trict.
The machine had gone half the dis
lance when a well-aimed shrapnel
shell exploded twelve feet away. Cas-
rady involuntarily ducked as he heard
the whine Of the shell. an action that
probably saved his life. A piece
Of the shell ripped through the cover
Of the ambulance and tore a huge
hole, carrying away the supporting
prop directly over where his head had
been, while another flying fragment
caught the driver in the left arm. The
ambulance was wrecked and one Of
the wounded therein killed outright.
Thompson was wounded on the same
day in almost exactly the same way.
Another American to receive a cita-
ton is Powell Fenton, of Philadel-
phia, a graduate of the University Of
Pennsylvania. Fenton Is q member of
Section No. s, at present serving at
Saloniki ana had already received
one citation for bravery in January.
