army lieutenant from Meeteetse, wy.
oming.
It was expected at headquarters TO-
day that General Pershing would make
such a recomm endatfon for the off.
GERS rescue Of one Of his men from
No Mans land-under heavy German
fire.
The exploit occurred in broad day
light. The lieutenant had led a night
patrol. He and his men had already
been on duty thirteen hours in the
trenches. They crawled out over No
Mans land and lay flat, awaiting and
listening for German patrols. One
sammy. utterly exhausted by the days
work and the exertfons Of the night,
fell asleep in shell hole close to the
German wire entanglements.
When the American patrol returned
to its own lines just before dawn the
mans absence was not mediately
discovered. It was not until daylight
spread over the tangled weeds and
holes of No Mans land that count
disclosed one man absent. Then the
lieutenant, sweeping every inch of the
ground with his glasses, located his
missing sammy tucked away in a
crater. It was about the same min
ute that the Germans discovered him
too The soldier crouched down in
his haven while the Boches loosed
their machine guns and began hurting
grenades at him. His lieutenant, dis
regarding conceaIment, stood up over
the trench and violently tried to wig
wag him on how to creep back to the
American lines. But the sammy was
too busy watching in the other direc-
tion trying to see what his enemies
were getting ready to do.
Then the lieutenant slipped over the
top Of the parapet and crawled flat
on his belly down the ravine. The
Germans discovered him almost at
once. They transferred all their fire
to his creeping figure.
Back in the American trenches the
sammies watched breathlessly, firing
as far as they could a barage to pro-
tect the slow moving creeper. In
some miraculous way, the lieutenant
reached his man and the two turned
hack scuttling along close to the
ground with bullets cutting the high
weeds all about them. They made the
trip safely and We're welcomed back
with cheers and yells Of Joy no less
than Of admiration Of the officers feat.

dangers Of No Mans land to rescue
one of his own boys" Is a graduate

lively stated today. Hundreds OF
Teuton agents, availing themselves Of
Mexican neutrality, are responsible
for the recurrence of fighting and
plotting by Villa, Zapata, Palaez and

The real seriousness Of the problem
for the United States lies in the fact
that the output Of Tampico and Tum-
pam oil fields may be curtailed, while
the difficulties near the border might
ultimately divert some Of America 8
war strength from Europe.
The Teuton spies are seeking to dis
credit Carranza with the United
States by making it appear he can
not cope with the rebel faction; they
are stirring up anti-Americanism and
are trying to bring on active American
Intervention, both as q means Of de-
tracing from the main war task and
to discredit this government with
South American republics.
Evidence gathered by secret agents

Now the Carranzista general, Diegu-
