ing to Sergeant She Screamed Aloud
In Feminine Voice.
Paris.-1f q girl hobs her hair and
DISCUSSES her voice and dons a poflus
uniform she may slssceed in getting
into the trenches undetected, but
II a rat scampers across her feet
when she is talking to sergeant she
just can't help screaming right out
loud and in very feminine voice.
At least that's what Cecile Bourdier
says. Cecile is slender, Dresden
china like lass Of twenty three, and
her fance is in the trenches some
where. Cecile doesn't know just
where, and she has been court mar
tailed for her last attempt to find him.
She says she won't tell whether she'll
try it again, but she admits she is do
ing her level best to find out just
where that regiment IS now.
Cecile got to Amiens on plea of
visiting mythical aunt and took with
her uniform belonging to member
Of her family. She cut it down to fit
her own slim form and hid her crop
ped braids beneath a steel helmet.
Then she hid away In a motor truck,
having smiled at the driver and made
him her accomplice.
Five miles from the firing line she
quit the truck and stumbled through
the dark on foot. Finally she found
herself in a communication trench
leading to the front line works. She
met sergeant and told him she was
on leave and hunting for her brother.
The regiment had been moved.
Then" she said, ''he asked me a
lot of questions, which managed to
answer without giving myself away,
but suddenly big rat ran across my
feet, and I couldn't help but scream.
And Of course after that it was all off.
First they took me for a spy. But
the general was very kind and sympa-
thized with me. He said for the:sake
of principle he would have toscourt
martial me. They gave me eight days
Imprisonment, but you can guess
whether I served my full term" !.

The following letter has been re- ceived by the Norwich branch of the Red Cross from Col. J. R. Kean. di- rector general, military relief:
 The attention of the chapters is called to the fact that the American Volunteer Motor Ambulance Corps op- erating in France is under the auspices of the American Red Cross.

These organizations have done excellent work in the transport of wounded from close to the fighting lines to the hospitals.
 We call your attention to this or ganizatien as it is constantly in need of volunteer ambulance drivers. Young active Americans who understand the operation of motor cars are especially desired. No salaries are paid.
 It is suggested that all inquiries as to service of this sort should be re- ferred to Eliot Norton. Rector street, New York city, who is the American representative of the American Vol unteer Ambulance Corps.

COURAGE TOPIC AT
 BIBLE STUDY HOUR. Righteous Man Must H%se Courage of
 Hiss Convictions,

E At the Bible study hour for men al the local r. M. c. A Tuesday evening the attendance was the largest foI many weeks, and the interest in the J studE was enthusiastic. The topic for discussion. was Courage. and the fol- lowing points were brought out. If a man is to live right, or to. lead right, he must have the courage of his. con- |Victions; if he is to properly defend a cause, he must believe with all his
 might in the cause which he espouSeS. Jesus had the courage to endure hard ships and dangers and death; this might be said to be physical courage, but his moral couyrage if possible was even greater.
 Jesus used his physical courage when he drove the gTafters out of the temple court: he used moral courage when he told the religionists of his day that another phase of courage when, in contrast with the troubled disciples, when the storm well nigh destroyed the boat in which they were sailing, Jesus remained perfectly calm and un- afraid. Then he manifested still an- other phase of courage when he re- buked his dearest friends, the disciples, when they asked him to send the little children away: from him. This is some times necessary in our experience, and this kind of courage is difficult to maintain.
 It was brought out that Napoleon had physical courage, while Lincoln had marvellous moral courage; that one may have physical courage and not possess moral courage; that the latter is by far the most essential, and at the same time the most difficult to maintain. A coward can never be a real leader, and a true man will sacri- flee anything..synd everything for that which he believes to be right.
 The names were mentioned of men who through-th~ ~oar~ flrd been shin ing examples of this kind of eoura and eit was agreed that Jesus Christ was the most perfect example of all that~was noble and courageous and that the only way to live life of courage and the only way to be a manly man is to follow his teaching and example.
