COL. SWALIN FRIEND
OF AMERICAN WOUNDED
Has Probably Visited More of Them in
Hospital Than Any Other Man in
England--He Is a Civil War
Veteran from Iowa.

Southampton, Eng, Juuy 20.--tCorres-
pondent of Associated Press) Colonel
Albert d. Swain, the American con-
sui at Southampton, probably has visited
more American soldiers in hospitals than
any other man in this country. For three
years he has paid weekly visit to ev-
cry American in any military hospital
within a thirty-mile radius Of this city,
and this radius includes over a hundred
hospitals, British, Canadian and Ameri-
can.
Colonel Swain, who is Civil war vet
eran from Iowa, began his work long be-
fore the United States came into the
war. 1t was only few months after
England came into the fighting that he
heard one day of an American in British
uniform-who had been brought wound
ed to a British tent hospital in near
by town He and Mrs. Swain paid the
man visit that same afternoon, and
continued to pay him weekly visit un-
ill he was discharged from the hospital.
From this beginning, the work of Col.
onel and Mrs, Swain expanded gradual
ly. They developed regular "intelli-
gence service" in all the hospitals in
their district, through which they were
Immediately notified of the arrival Of
any man who claimed American citi-
zenship or who had been resident of the
United States. The hospital people well
coined their work and did all in their
power to assist it.
As the Canadian troops began to come
over in large numbers, the number of
Americans in the hospitals around South
ampton increased greatly, and the Amer
lean Red Cross took cognizance Of Col
onel Swslm's work by voting him gen
erous appropriation to provide various
little comforts for the men whom he
visited.
About half of Colonel Swalm's time
is now taken up with his work among
American sick and wounded. During
the month of May he averaged 800 visits
per week. Most of the men whom he
visits are still members of either the
Canadian or British armies, but the num-
Der of cases from the American army is
now approaching half of the total.
Another part OF Colonel Swalm's vol.
untary work is the care of American
graves. There are nine American sol.
diers in a cemetery near Southampton
and thirty-four others in cemeteries in
nearby towns and villages. On Memo
rial day this year, services were held at
every one of these graves, and flowers
were laid on them by detachments OF
American troops.

PAID DEBTS IN FULL.
British Airmen Paid the Germans Back
for Their Damage.

London, July 20-How q British flying
squadron turned the tables on German
airmen who had been bombing their aero
Of the royal air force,
eve had been giving the Hun lively
time the officer says, bombing his
dumps, billets, communications and
towns nightly. When, therefore, he
bombed our aerodrome two evenings in
succession and completely upset all our
arrangements, it was generally agreed
that he had scored one over us. Much
as his enterprise was admired, however,
it was decided to try to check ii.
The plan evolved was simple The
next day the British machines were
flown over to a neighboring aerodrome
where it was believed they would be
safe from raids. Then they started off
just after dusk to make reprisal at
tack
1--WE arrived at the enemy's lair" Lieu
tenant Barnes narrates, "at most OPP
perfume moment, for a second relay OF
his machines we're Just taxying' across
the ground to take Off in the fare path
In our widest dreams we had not hoped
for such luck as this, and every possible
advantage was taken of it.
"A few well-direeted bombs, dropped
right in among the machines that were
waiting their turn to take off, set fire tt
two and badly damaged others. Anoth.
er machine was seen to crash whilst &C.
tually taking off in the fare path. Some
equally we'll directed incendiary bombs
set fire to large shed, and then the real
fun of the night began.
by this time the first relay of enemy
machines, sent as we afterwards learned
to bomb our own aerodrome again, began
to return. As they were on their own
side of the line, and in blissful ignorance
of the fate Of their aerodrome, they were
flying with navigation lights full on
thereby giving their position away in
the darkness.
Relieved Of our bombs, we were able
TO give fight, and successfully shot dowr
one in flames, while another was dis
tinctly seen to crash on top Of wood.
Having thus paid our debts in full VIZ
left the remainder to land on bomb
riddled aerodrome-no enviable task al
night-while we went off home to cele
brate a good nights work, with the com
forting assurance that the r. A. f. were
at least one up on their adversaries
game"
