Red Cross at the Front

Further extracts from letters Of
Mr.. Roland Speers. He was one Of
the color guards who carried the
first American flag at the French
front. His account Of the presenta-
tion of this flag is most interesting,
but lack of space prevents giving 1t
here. He continues:
1.-THE night after this affair we
received sudden orders to make a
forced run to another front. We
packed and started in an hour and
rode six hours. After a brief rest
we went to work with an English
ambulance unit which we had come
to support behind hot attack. We
have been at it, 16 cars at a time,
for several days and nights In ad-
dition to the entire strength Of the
English unit, and the noise, heat,
dust. chaos, death and suffering we
have witnessed Is so great as TO
deaden the intellect-so toward the
end Of last night the most terrible
scenes made no impression.
Several of our cars have been
pierced through by 'eclats' (shell
fragments), but no one of us has
been hurt in the least, which is more
or less Of miracle considering what
we have been through. At one time
we were forced to operate within less
than 1000 yards of German bar
rage (curtain fire), which parallel
ed our road for half mile for two
hours, but luckily did not reach it.
Again we were obliged to abandon
our poste de secours' because it was
blown to dust by a rain of POS.
Luckily it was in between trips and
none of our cars were there at the
time.
"Our new 'poste' is in recaptured

Making Thousands
OF Smoke Producers

Thousands of smoke producers to
protect American troop, food aiN
munition ships from submarines are
being turned out daily by a govern
ment contractor in Delaware.
On and after October 1 no ship
of any description may sail from an
American port unless equipped with
them. On that date, too, all vessels
must be painted by system OF
camouflage worked out by the naval
consulting board. Details of these
systems are government war secrets.
"If | told how it was done,' said
Admiral Rousseau of the naval con-
cutting board, "the Germans would
know what to look for"
The smoke screens will be used
only as a last resort Twelve smoke
boxes will be on every vessels deck.
There also will be one huge, though
practically invisable smoke funnel.
Should one of the kaiser's u
boats detect the spirit-like trappings
of one of these American ghosts of
the sea. the smoke funnel will be
started and the smoke boxes dumped
overheard.
"The action of the sea water on
one of the ingenious combinations OF
chemicals will throw off great clouds
of dense black smoke and the ship
can slip away. Once used, however,
the smoke boxes are worn out. The
smoke funnel costs about $125 and
the smoke boxes $25 each"
The government hopes to save
thousands of tons of shipping by
these precautions and has also stipu-
lated that after October 1 every ship
sailing must be protected with guns
manned by a naval gun crew and
must use smokeless coal while travel
ing through the submarine zone.

'bosche' trench and souvenirs OF all
descriptions are strewn about. One
must be very careful in walking about
as hand grenades left by the retreat
ing Germans are everywhere on the
ground and kick or tap of the foot
would cause them to explode. Last
evening we spent three hours load
ing sand bags and piling stones on
our abri to make it more shell-proof
and today all but six of our 21 cars
are at rest. We have certainly had
our baptism of fire here and have
seen as much of a real battle as many
of the participants and l feel exactly
as though I hadsbeen in the trenches
all through the thickest of it.
"The Foreign Legion perhaps the
most noted and best division of the
French army. bore the brunt of the
struggle here. They are mostly
Americans, Russians, Algerians, Mo-
raccans, etc., soldiers of fortune
who enlisted with the French merely
from the love of fighting. ! talked
with one of the Americans last night
young boy from San Francisco who
has been through it from the begin
ming. He is one of 1877 left out Of
the original 10000. He expects tc
last out the war, for, he says, II
have escaped so far, | am bound tc
keep on escaping to the end.

in question, and whatever action the
federal government may see fit to
make should be given all possible
publicity by the press throughout the
mining districts, that the present un-
certainty may be disposed of at the
earliest possible time. In the mean
time, however, all prospectors and
claim owners should proceed with
plans to do assessment work as usual
as this Is matter which lies entire
ly in the hands of congress, and no
intimation can be ascertained at pres
ent relative to intent of this busy
body regarding the suspension Of the
present law to assist enlisted men,

why YOU ARE NERVOUS

The nervous system is the alarm system
of the human body.
In perfect health we hardly realize that
we have network Of nerves, but when
health is ebbing, when strength is declin-
ing, the same nervous system gives the
alarm in headaches, tiredness, dreamful
sleep, irritability and unless corrected,
leads straight to breakdown.
To correct nervousness, Scott's Emul-
sion is exactly what you should take; its
rich nutriment' gets into the blood and
rich blood feeds the tiny nerve-cells while
the whole system responds to its refresh
ing tonic force. 1t is free from alcohol.

Gold Hill Notes
(By A. e. Kellogg.)

No fish to be planted in mo fish
ing streams" is the edict of the fish
and game commission. Streams will
not be stocked with trout fry where
property owners along their banks
have posted no fishing signs. Be-
cause the anglers pay the expense
of the planting the fish, and the fish
commissioners take the stand that
It is not fair to plant fry in what
are practically private preserves.

More or less Misunderstanding ex-
lists in the minds Of the general pub
lie in reference to the various press
reports coming from Washington, D.
c.. to the effect that 1t will be neces-
sary to do the annual assessment
work on mining claims for the dura-
tion of the war. These reports have
followed the introduction of bills in
congress which. II any of them be-
comes law. will provide that drafted
men and others entering the military
service of the government he given
special consideration in this regard
To date however. no definite action
has been taken and the law relative
to the holding of unpatented claims
remains operative exactly as it was
in the past-that is 800 worth Of
work must be performed annually
on each and every claim. The patri
otic miners who are giving their en-
tire time to the nation are entitled
to exemption from the requirement.

HOTEL MEN CUT
DOWN ON SUGAR

are now working out new ideas for
the serving Of sugar 10 meet the tenn
pOrary shOr' az" in Eastern states
pending the arrival OF western beet
sugar and the Louisiana and Cuban
cane crops Study of this question
has been beneficial locating needless
wastes
1t has tecn found. for instance, that
some guests fill their pockets from
the sugar howl This is habit With
women, who like to feed sugar to
horses if they can do it at the expense
of someone else Loose sugar is often
spoiled through dipping with spoons
taken from coffee and tea, and sugar
served with meals sent to rooms is
often wasted The necessity for re-
striCting guests to two or three Jumps
with each coffee service has reduced
waste and shown that most persons
are economical and reasonable in such
matters The hotel men find that they
wasteful by listing too many sWeet
dishes on their menus, adding icing
to dishes already sweet enough, and
making up too many kinds Of ice
cream and pastry, which leads to a
certain proportion being left over to
spoil, where one or two kinds would
give guests sufficient choice and make
1t easy to adjust supply to daily re-
quirements.
