AMERICAN HEROES ABROAD

When the history of the Great
War is written, one of its brightest
pages will tell the story of the Amer
lean Ambulance in France. Quite
without any remuneration except the
satisfaction of work well done in the
cause of humanity, two or three hun
bred young American men have been
risking their lives in the rescue Of
wounded soldiers. One of those young
men Mr. Howard Hare Powell, of
Newport, X. l., writes i'm Harper's Ba-
Ear for February: when the impulse
first gripped me to come over here,
had been led to expect that | would
fetch up in crew of swashbuckling.
devil-may-care Adventures. Instead,
found men had known at school and
college, and a lot of other young
Americans like those one meets ev-
erywhere." Young Mr.. Powell has for
the past year been attached to Sec
ton Two of the American Ambu-
lance, with headquarters at the blood
lest spot i'm the world-Verdun. Day
after day last year the tide of bat
tie flowed bac& and forth; hundred
battles as desperate and bloody as
Waterloo or Gettysburg We're fought
at Verdun last summer. And every
night, the young American drivers of
came up to the trenches
under fire to save the wounded sol
diers. Several of these Americans
have lost their lives; others have re-
ceived. for valor, the highest decora-
tons that the French Government
can bestow. To anyone who likes to
read about old-fashioned heroism,
we strongly recommend this impor-
tant article in the February number.
