LIKE AJAX AND ACHILLES
Individual Prowess in This War Counts
for as Much as II Did In Days
of Ancient Greece.

Individual prOwcss counts for as
much as it did in the days of ancient
Greece, Waldemar Kaempf'ert writes
In McClure's. Names will stand out in
the history Of this war like those of
Ajax and Achilles in the epic of Ho-
mer Lieutenants Immelmann and
BOelke on the German side have
brought down nine and ten adversaries
in mortal combat. Their exploits are
tinged with chivalric glamour which
seems anything but modern.
When Boelke landed to aid an enemy
whom he had wounded he was greeted
with the comment: "Since It is I'm
melmann who beat me, | am satisfied"
When the German replied that 1t was
"only Boelke," the interchange of com
pliments seemed like parley between
Hector and Ajax.
The analogy between Homer's battles
and twentieth century aerial combats
extends even to the vehicles used.
What Is flying machine but the an
cient war chariot soaring on wings? In
many an encounter two man machines
still battle for supremacy-one man
an observer, the other a pilot. The OBJ
server is the fighting hero of old, WELD
ing machine gun instead Of a sword;
the pilot his faithful charloteer.
Carry the analogy still further and
consider how much is at stake when
battle plane meets battle plane. The
fate Of an ancient army depended on
a prince In his war chariot the fate
Of any army corps now hangs on the
information Cleaned by victorious
flier.

Training the Dogs.

The method of training is to start
in to teach the dog to fetch an object,
usually mans cap. Then he Is taught
to seek out the wearer of the cap, TO
return and lead the trainer to the
wearer, supposedly wounded. The dogs
have also been used with great sue
cess in detecting the presence of
wounded men caught in the enemys
wire entanglements and unable to es-
cape through weakness.
With the formal transfer of the
American ambulance to the American
army, the ambulance ceases to exist,
in name, as an auxiliary service of
the French army, although II will be
virtually continued as such until such
time as the American army decides 1t
needs 1t for its own uses. The Amer
lean ambulance is not, however, at
the present time under the control of
the Red Cross, although that develop
ment may later occur.
Two of the most recent members
Of the ambulance to receive the war

Five other Americans have won hon

Major Murphy Tells Of Deeds Of
Bravery by Americans on
Several Battle Fronts.
MANY GET SPECIAL RONQRS
Vast Activities Of the Organization Are
pescribed-Field Service Now Has
Forty Sections Actually on
Duty on the French Front.

Paris.-Deeds Of heroic courage by
American Red Cross men on several
battle fronts have just been described
here In a statement by Maj. Grnyson
=. Murphy, American Red Cross com.
missioner for Europe. He also gives
details Of the vast and mnny-sided ac-
uvities the organization has been car
ry!ng on, which now are being multi
piled many times.
Following out It's previously an.
nounced project, the commission has
already established relief and rest sta.
tions for the troops at points where
they must lie over while In transit from
the base receiving camps to the train
Ing camps near the front. Owing to
the demoralized condition of the
French railways, troops are often
obliged to spend between As and ~
hours in making journey that could
ordinarily be accomplished in II hours.
The cars In which they are trans
ported are frequently small French
freight cars, into which 80, more often
40, men are crowded The result has
been that cases of measles, mumps,
diphthnrla and on numerous occasions
more serious diseases have broken out
among the men. To provide against
such an exigency, station dispensaries,
each containing ten beds, n doctor and
two nurses, have been opened. Sus-
pected cases or men asking for treat
ment are handled Immediately instead
of awaiting for the arrival of the train
at Its destination. The patients are
visited each day by some member of
the Red Cross, who brings them tobac-
co, sweets or something to read, the
purchases being made from the funds
which the United States has so gcner-
ously subscribed.
Another activity Of the Red Cross
consists in the bringing to France of
about twenty Belgian police dogs,
which will be trained to 90 out and
look for wounded. The dogs have
been tried out in other armies, notably
the French and Russian, and have
reached high degree of proficiency

means an act of unusual bravery.
During local engagement around
MOnastir in which the French were
cndeayOring to take strongly held
trench that formed the advanced ele-
ment of Bulgarian salient, the
troops advanced to the attack about
four in the morning before the sun
had made any activity almost intoler-
able.
BY five o'clock the blue-coated poilus
had Swarmed over the Bulgarian en-
trenchments, bayOneting or bombing
any of the enemy who remained to
offer resistance. The enemy counter
attack was slow in organizing, and
the poilus began the tlres0me work
of consolidating the position. Almost
ut high noon the violence In the en-
emy's shell fire presaged the coming
counter-attack. Fifteen minutes Ia
ter the Bulgars came over the top of
their second line of defense and hurled
themselves on the small band of
French.
The latter held firm and not only
succeeded In driving off the counter
attack, but chased the enemy back to
their second line, blowing up the
dugouts and putting number of
machine guns out of action. 1t was
during the intense heat of the mid
day and the concentrated fire of the
Bulgarian heavy guns that the
