Bob EmbFie Leaves Soon
For Stormy Russia
It's not surprising that Bob EN-
brie is leaving Washington soon. He'1
been here about two months, and
that's a long period OF inactivity for
a man blessed with his love of adven-
ture and his capacity for finding him
self in the thick Of stirring events.
II did not surprise me a bit, however,
to learn that he is going to Russia,
where he expects to be connected
with the consular service.
What an extraordinarily interesting
career this young man has had. He
seems to know by Intuition Just
where trouble Is brewing and to ar
rive on the scene Of action just At
the psychological moment 1t was
this faculty OF smelling a night" and
just happening" TO be on the ground
which helped to make the late Gen.
eral Funston such a great soldier,
but that. as Mr.. Kipling says, is an
other story.
Bob Embrie went to France with
the American Ambulance Field Ser
vice shortly after the outbreak OF the
war. He happened to be at Verdun
all during the great German offen-
sive and was on the ground when the
Crown Prince made his supreme at
tempt to break through, the drive
which. to the supreme glory of the
French. was to fail so dismally. Then
he happened to answer a call for vol
unteers to drive an ambulance in the
Balkans.
There he remained some six months
or so, getting his NIL of adventure
for once. His most thrilling exploit
was the driving OF an ambulance into
a portion of Albania which had never
been traversed by a motor before. and
where the mountains were considered
impossible. He was lost In the noun
tains for several days, but his luck
held. and he came through all right
Indeed, the man hasn't a scratch "a
show for all his months OF service al
the front. He treasures a helmet
badly dented by shrapnel. which or
one occasion kept him from being
pretty badly knocked about.
He was decorated by the French
government with the silver star
which is the second highest honor ir
their gift.
