NOT ALL HEROES AT FRONT
Manus Dugoan, Twenty.Year.oId
irish Lad, Saves Is Miners, but
Loses His Own Life.

Not all the deeds of bravery are in
the war zone. When a fire in the
Spectator mine, near Butte, Mont, en-
tombed several hundred men and
brought death to 145 others, a twenty
year-old Irish lad named Manus Dug
gan, known as a "nipper boy" or tool
boy, saved IS miners by his GOODNESS
and s%elf-sacrifice. But he paid for de-
votion to duty with his life. His body
was taken from the mine five days
later.
When the first flash Of flames, smoke
and deadly gas cut off all retreat from
the mine, Duggan was caught with a
number of companions in a distant tun-
mel. Reared in the mines at Butte,
he knew every nook and turn in the
underground workings. He guided a
party Of miners through the tunnels to
a spot comparatively free from gas
and fire. There he constructed a tenn
porary bulwark. He had few timbers
at hand, and principally put off the
fires approach by building a wall Of
dirt, rocks and clothing taken from his
companions and the bodies Of those
who already had fallen victims to the
fire. AS fast as one temporary wall
was thus constructed, he fell back with
his charges and built another. He
finally directed the party to a point
where their rescue was effected by
miners from above. Whether the boy
turned back to seek others or was
overcome while building his last de-
tense against the rapidly approaching
flames and gas, no one seems to know.
But he died at his post and his body
was buried among the victims Of the
grim tragedy.
But what he did will never perish
from the memory of 25 men who owe
their lives to the 'nipper boy" Manus
Duggan.

UNMARRIED MEN
READY FOR CALL
Almost Five Million Are Avail
able For Service in
the Army.
BY Kenneth MacDonran.

NEW YORK, Feb. 16-In tbs
event OF hostilitIes ana the calling
out OF militia and volunteer troops
there are many cadets in the various
private military institutions in the
United States who could speedily be
made available for second lieuten-
nncies and some higher ranks in the
volunteer forces
One Of the most prominent insti-
tuuons in the country from "A mill
tary standpoint is Norwich univer-
sity, at Norwich. Vt. which has
graduated numerous men into the
army as second lieutenants The
graduating class is between so and
100 men every year. and the institu-
ton has kept fairly good track OF
Its availab BILE sons after they have left
college. At "a conservative estimate.
Norwich could furnish 1000 men
who have passed an examination re-
CURED as entrance 20 the regular
army as a second lieutenant Of IL. /.
fantry 500 second reutenants OF
cavalry. and about 900 artillery sec
ond lieutenants
informed on military matters. while
others, of course. would need con-
siderable brushing up in modern
tactics. Norwich has maintained the
same standards of study and execu-
ton OF military drill that the cadets
at West Point are held 10. and fully
sixth of its graduating classes
have followed an army career.
In training. the graduates are
probably superior i'm knowledge and
executive ability TO two-thirds of the
militia captains and some majors in
the national guard
They have served under military
officers of the highest type for a
fOur-year course. and during that
time have had 70 work hard and
faithfully in order 10 graduate.
A like condition is true Of perhaps
% other private military schools in
the United States designated by the
war department as distinguished
institutions. These schools could
bring TO the colors about Z 1000 fully
or partially trained Iieutenants. Be-
sides these there are some 70 600
college men who have attended
training camps like Plattsburg.
and who in a short time could be
whipped into good enough shape TO
take command OF volunteer infantry.
The Culver school at Culver. Ind.
IS perhaps a close second to Nor

And when Mr.. Glenn left the office
he knew that he and Miss Winfield

At 3 o'clock they met at the train

He extended his hand to assist her
