Sent to the Front.

FXACTLI one week from a cert ali.
T. day when | landed In England
from the United States was
notified that NV juh was gone. as the
company that | represented was in
the hands OF receivers
was disappointed. OF course. but
tried to look at the thing philosophical
ly and to make the best Of It. | bought
my ticket for home. but as the boat
on which intended sailing did not
leave for several days | proceeded to
enjoy the remainder Of my stay in
England
Things were certainly moving at that
time Very soon was as enthusiastic
as any OF them. and in London made
inquiries as to whether | could join
the army
! was told that would have no dif-
hculty AT all but on second thought I
decid, to let well enough alone The
day before ! was 20 sail from Liver
pool | hesitated aGnin and talked II
over with an army officer. He was so
nice about explaining everything to me
that ! decided that | might do lots Of
worse things than TO see little Of
the biggest scrap the world had ever
known
That night I thought about the mat
ter some more and came to the conclu-
sion that II they would take me into
. cavalry regiment ! would have
try at It The next morning | enlisted
and was made a trooper in the Fifth
Dragon guards That same afternoon
! was on my way TO Aldershot, but
had known what | was going to 60
through ! don't think ! would have
been SO light hearted as was. In the
evening was fitted out with my en-
tire kit and informed that from now on
] was soldier
! was assigned to bed In tho bar
racks. and from that time my trou
bles commenced was in with
crowd OF old soldiers. men who had
served from two TO twenty years In
the army. and. while they were very
decent chaps, they seemed to resent
the fact that a civic" had been pushed
In on them | was at once christened
"Yank." and | believe they found q
few other things to call me too.
The next morning at O'Clock the
sergeant came around and dug me out
He took me down to the stables and
put me in with a bunch of rockies who
weren't any happier than was We
were then instructed in the gentle art
OF grooming n horse ! couldn't seem
TO do anything right. and they didn't
hesitate TO tell me so either.
Then We were marched down to a
breakfast of bread. bacon and tea. but
We had as much as We wanted felt
. whole lot better after eating. Break
fast over. We had room inspection. and
rs soon as that was over we who were
rockies were marched down to the rid
ting school and handed over to the ~
rant who ruled there
I had expected to fnd horses al sad
died. and II certainly was quite Q shock
10 learn that We got our saddles only
when We had earned them In other

tainly despairine feeling to bs
streaming bullets into the Germans
and see them still advance After
several minutes Of this the whistles
blew for cease nre'' and our infantry
jumped the parapet and went after
them with the bayonet They broke
the attack right there, and. m6Re than
that, they took two lines Of German
trenches
A few days after this an incident
occurred that to my way Of thinking,
was one Of the most wonderful things
that ever happened. Volunteer dis
patch riden for dangerous WORT"
were called for. About eighteen Of
our chaps offered themselves. and Of
course all were accepted A dispatch
was to Be carried about two miles
along the road which follows the bank
Of the User canal This road was con-
stantly being swept By German ma.
chine gan and ride Ore. The dispatch
was to Be handed to Q French com

Until VIM. Qeneau pays for his lat

PLANS FOR SUNDAY BARN ARE
WITHDRAWN FOR PRESENT
Plans for the big wooden taber-
nacle in the Cubs, park, where Billy
Sunday was scheduled to save souls
with the danger of a fire and panic
hanging over the heads of his listen
eFs, were withdrawn yesterday from
the city council building committee
by the association of church folk who
first presented them to the council.
Aid. PTetZel, chairman of the COM
mittee, said that the scheme was
withdrawn until plans for a structure
more nearly fTeprOOf can be drawn.
This is believed to be the last attempt
the Billy Sunday enthusiasts will
make to get thousands of Chicago
ans in an infammable building of the
type erected in other cities for the
revival
The council vas asked to pass an
order directing the building commits
siOner to allow the erection of the
building after he had refused a per-
NIT on the grounds that it was I'M
safe to crowd thousands of people
into building which might so easily
catch fire.
The order, disguised so completely
that only few aldermen recognized
it, was stopped, however, before pas
sage and was sent to the building
committee for a hearing. Rather
than try this, the church people de-
cided to improve their plans and con-
form to the fire laws in their attempt
to save the souls Of ChicagO's poor
WOrkingmen.

 Through Birmingham

The announcement of the date aud itinerary of the official scouting party to locate the route of the Bankhead national highway between Atlanta, Birmingham and Memphis has created a great deal of interest among good roads enthusiasts throughout the south
 The scouting party will start OH August IA from Atlanta. A compIe-. be given to the public soon, wherein every route proposed will be shown. and every town on either of the pro- posed routes will be put in place.
 Secretary Rountree of the Bank head Highway association has urged all presidents of the various county as- sociations to increase their member ship in the organization at the earliest date, so that they will have the large representation that they will desire when the highway scouts pass through their section. Every member of the association Is requested to be named on the reception committee of each town the scouts will pass through, and they will receive the scouts and en- certain them.
 President Plowman has issued an appeal to every member between Memphis and Atlanta 10 put their roads in good shape for the scout party as every point will count in their ia vor or against them in getting the of- ficial route.

Once famous for it's many followers and patrons, pretty, well-dressed girls and their admirers. idle spectators merely watching the crowds, old, young and indifferent the famous trace track" of renown were ever there lives one who has visited Bir~ mingham and the visit included one Sunday afternoons stay in Magic City, is at last losing out in popular favor, for that is the indication of the evidence just brought against it.
 Of course, everybody knows that the race track is the stretch Of promenading territory swinging around from the corner of Second avenue and Twentieth street to Nineteenth, con tinuing from there to Third avenue up to Twentieth and across again to Second. that is the track" which for merly was the block" but whatever it is or is not. it certainly was the course of the thronging thousands on Sunday afternoons.
 And now comes the evidence and the whyfor.
 When the track was in its prime 1t happened that resident of another section spent Sunday afternoon in the Magic City and marveled much to see the old and young and indifferent as they passed along the track in per formances of Sunday afternoon strolls.
