PHILADELPHIA BOY OF l8
VETERAN OF THE WAR
Samuel Emlen Carpenter, Jr.,
Home on Furlough, Has Seen
Five Months Service

war veteran at eighteen. with five
months service at the front with the
French army is the unique distinction en-
!oyed by Samuel Emlen Carpenter, Jr,, who
mas just returned from France to his home
at 26 South Twenty-frst street. As a
driver OF an ambulance In the Norton
Harjes Unit, No. 5S, he has seen more
than the average soldiers share of the hor-
rors Of war. He has been in gas attacks,
at the front-line trenches, is we'll versed
In the habits of shrapnel and shell. has
carried wounded and dying poilus and seen
men killed. And he is going back. this time
to fight and in the service Of the United
states as an aviator.
The horror and the grlmness of his ex-
perlences Of the last few months have left
little trace on his appearance except that
Pc Is probably a little queter than most
Fellows of eighteen. He Is very modest
About his adventures, and, like most of the
hen who have been 'over there" the other
fellow does most of the talking. But he is
very willing to answer all questions about
the war, particularly those In which he
does not figure
The most interesting memento of the war
that he has brought back with him is his
helmet which he wore while In the service,
This is full of dents made by shrapnel balls
(Which fell on him while i was watching
an air fight"
The narrowest escape young Carpenter
had was when he and two stretcher bearers
were at work and were caught in a gas
attack. Two gas shells fell near where
they were and began emitting the poison
gas. Carpenter instantly fitted on his gas
mask which was hanging by strap from
his neck. The two Frenchmen. however,
were caught unprepared, and were over
come by the gas. He took them back TO a
hospital and they We're later sent TO base
hospital, where they died several weeks
later from the effects. Carpenters service
was all in the st. Quentin sector, where
some Of the fercest fighting Of the war has
taken place
When the Norton-Harjes outfit was taken
over into the United States service, Carpen-
ter, like most of the other forty-two menu
bers, elected to resign and get Into the
fighting service. He chose the aviation
branch and passed all his examinations for
this in France He had an, opportunity to
return home on a furlough and sailed in
the early part of November, the voyage
home taking about three weeks. lie VIII
return to France in January TO take up his
training In aviation there.
Being with the French army for nVe
months he has come to know the French
Pollus intimately He says the frencn
were very enthusiastic over the entry OF
America into the war and expected the
e. Americans to be a deciding factor on the
side of the Allies and that one of the
biggest contributions would be in airplanes
and aviators.
The French, he said, are coming more
and more to the belief that the war will be
Won in the air and they are looking &c
United States TO supply thousands OF air
planes which will help them establish SUI
premacy in the air.

in Sardinia some trace Of Its day. In
deed, the population of this island re,
talns in its speech and customs vivid
memories of nearly every conqreror.
Having a strong regard for woman
kind, the Sardinlans are among the
most polite of peoples. AS you pass
along the roads you find them lnvari-
ably courteous and h%ospitable. Every
n wishes You TO stop and break
bread with them, and il you hurry by
the women, the children and the old
men sitting by the doorways rise and

up under similar climatic conditions,
they are suspicious of every limo.

This is one of the $ why
their fields are still worked In the an
Client ways. Harvesting machinery is
rarely to be seen, and the grains are
reaped with the sickle. Odd as is the
costume the average Sandman wears,
1t Is upon the cap the men wear that
attention first centers. This head
dress is, indeed, one of the few things
in Sardinia unique 10 that island.
Not only does It serve as n protec-
ton against the weather, hut in its
capacious depths the wearer carries
his lunch when he works in the fields.
And when he sleeps outdoors, and
often when at home In his own bed,
his only pillow is that cap deity rolled
up for service OF sometimes stuffed
with wayside grasses to furnish a soft
place IN which t. rest his weary head.

Marvel advised me. I'VE should have

Just then the wiry foreigner gave .

a SCARED warrior.like face. and a
young lady.
This was Miss Geraldine Farrar.

was a change In her manner since !

Her eyes expressed animation. her

face was deliciously flushed with ex.
element. She spoke rapidly to her
dlgnified escort, and then to the chauf-
feur. The latter received some hur-
ried instructions. He seized the
wheel and at once the machine sped
away from the wharf.
The wiry foreigner who had SEEM

for a cab. Keep that machine in
view" he ordered the driver--"double

1t was a wild rush. this triple race.
The auto did not make towards the
city center. but along the wharves.
Suddenly, at a spot where a trim
yacht was getting ready to leave
shore, the automobile came to an alb.
rupt stop. Miss Farrar jumped
gracefully to the ground. Her austere
escort followed her. He carried two
satchels. She taking one of these,
they ran to the yacht and clambered
unceremoniously aboard. There
seemed to be some discussion with
the n man in charge. Then he went
about his duties and the pretty craft
made for the oflng.
We were getting 50 near now that
I could read the name Of the yacht
in gilt letters ut her stern: "The Ar.
row." The little pursuer OF the auto.
mobile leaped toward the yacht az she
pushed off, but Colonel Aloa Gaspard.
a revolutionary South American. and
present convoy Of Miss Farrar lifted
q stake from the bottom OF the yacht,
dealt him a blow and sent him hurting
back into the water.
1t was done 30 quickly that by the
time we came to the spot where the
craft had been moored she was lost in
the dim sea mists, and the wiry for.
eigner stood rubbing his aching head,
Marvel gave me a quiet direction to
return to the hotel and took the stranz.
er in tow. When he put in an an.
pearance at u rooms several hours
later he briefly stated:
The man who got the ducking was
. Venezuelan spy, who It seems has
been watching Gaspard and our young
Lady for q week, and, learning this. he
was my selected pilot, with the de.
nouncement Al you have seen. Again
he asserts that those two satchels

ped us contained dynamite.
Marvel did not seem to worry any
over the uncertain shape affairs had
taken. He kept busy in his OWE
way. knew he did Z lot Of cabling
and even used the wireless. The sec.
