PARIS, Oct. 16. = Because they
have been scattered throughout the
various regiments of the French
army, men of the American ambu-
lance service have been "out of

getting any of the benefits from
the various auxiliary organizations.
There are several thousand of
these ambulance men, many of
whom were members of college
units, with the French, and a
scheme has been devised by the
Knights of Columbus to get sup
plies to them.
1t was impossible to send a

each of the units, for there are only
about 10 men in each of them, but

INFLUENZA BUG
MAY BITE YOU
AND THEN YOU SHOULD GO TO
BED PROMPT
Ll

DR.. Rupert Blue, surgeon general
of the United States, says Spanish
influenza resembles a contagious
kind of cold, accompanied by fever,
pains in the head, eyes, ears, back
or other parts of the body and a
feeling of severe illness. In most
cases the symptoms disappear in
three or four days, the patient re-
covering rapidly.
There is yet no way in which a
single case can be recognized, but
recognition is simple when a group
of cases are found. Ordinary colds
are by no means as severe or de-
velop as rapidly as influenza. In
most cases persons with influenza
become i'll suddenly, have pains
and may feel sore in all parts OF
the body. Some feel dizzy and
some yomit. Most complain OF
chills and with the chills there is a
fever. In most cases the pulse re-
mains relatively slow. The inner
side of the eyelids become "blood-
shot" and there may be running
from the nose and some coughing
These signs may not be marked, but
the patient will appear and feel
i'll.
1t is important hat every person
who becomes ill with influenza 60
at once to bed. This will avoid
dangerous complications, which are
the usual cause of death, and pre-
vent the patient from spreading the
disease.
Only such medicine should be
taken as is prescribed by a physi-
clan. 1t is dangerous TO take the
so-called safe, sure and harmless
remedies advertised by patent-medi-
cine manufacturers.

CROWDER NOW HAS
DISTINGUISH
ATTORNEYS IN
HIS OFFICE

WASHINGTON, D. c., Oct. 16.-
One great factor in Provost Mar
shal-General Crowder's success in
administering the draft has been
the type of men he selected to as
sist him.
General Crowder has a weak
ness for lawyers, especially distin-
guished lawyers, and he has them in
quantities now. They are not ad-
visers or consultants, but have been
taken away from lucrative private
practices, thrust into uniform, and
set to work actually as aides and
staff members, to help run the ma
chine. Some of the legal luminar-
les so captured are men of more
than national note in their profess
sion.
The first General Crowder called
in from civil life was Charles B.
Warren of Detroit, now colonel and
senior officer on his staff. Colonel
Warren has written most of the Sc
lective service regulations and was
primarily responsible for the fOrmu-
lation of the regulations for the
first draft. Incidentally Colonel
Warren has written many of the
congressional statutes which have
been enacted into law in connection
with the draft.
Colonel Warren was on two occa-
sions before becoming an aide to
General Crowder attorney for the
United States in international arbi-
trations.
Once. during the fisheries dispute
with Canada, he held the attention
of the Hague tribunal with an ar
gument six days long. AT an earlier
date he was one of the lawyers APP
pointed by the president to argue
the case of the United States before
the joint high tribunal created to
a~djudicate claims of Great Britain
against the United States arising
out of the Boring sea fisheries con-
troversy. Robert Lansing, now sec
rotary of state, was also of counsel
in that matter. In addition to his
career in the field of international
law, Colonel Warren has developed
a financial career.
He is heavily interested in large
industrial enterprises and banks in
Detroit, his home city, and had
found time to be president of the

wound that has marked him is so
unusual that he is known at Amer
lean military hospital No. 1, where
he is now ~convalescing, as the Red
Cross Man." and doctors, nurses

with unusual interest.
Fournan is a member of one of

engaged in the fighting around
Fismes. He has been in France
since last October and went through
heavy fighting on several fronts
without a scratch.

to find himself on an American
sanitary train from which he was

ating room the surgeon looked him
over and then called the other doc-
tors to come and look. The boy
had been hit by two pieces of shrsp-
mel, one of which had gone down
his back so close to his spine that
only a miracle saved him from par

LIGHT TANKS WERE
FIRST THOUGHT
INEFFECTIVE
WITH THE FRENCH ARMIES

WITH THE FRENCH ARMIES,
Oct. II. - The armored caterpillar
motor a or tank" which is now
in high favor as an engine OF as
sault against the enemies lines, al
most fell into discredit in France
in 1917. The most successful type
has been the new lighter a with a
swinging turret from which an inch
and a half caliber cannon or a ma
chine gun can fire in any direction.
While the British were manufac-
turing their immense heavy tanks,
the French, without knowing of the
work their allies were doing, exper-
imented with lighter cars, one type
weighing 10 ton and another %
tons. The 13-ton cars made their
appearance in April, 1917, taking
part in the French offensive be-
tween Rheims and the Aisne, as an
experiment.
The losses appeared to be excess
i've and the report spread that they
caught fire every time they were
hit by a projectile. The death OF
Commandant Bossut while leading
an assault with one of the cars Gre
ated a profound impression.
Two later operations, however,
modified nilitaru nnininn rnOarA-
ing them and they proved to be
most effective.
During the winter other expert
ments were made and toward the
last of May, 1918. the light tanks
made their appearance on the bat
tlefield in greater numbers. They
were assigned to the defense of the
forest of Villers-Cotterets when the
Germans made their rush between
first Is days of June they made
more than 20 counter-attacks and
kept the forest clear of the enemy.
The medium-weight cars in the
meantime had helped the Americans
take C%antigny.
Their first spectacular feat was
in mobilizing in II hours south OF
Montdidier to precede the infantry
in a successful counter-attack that
stopped the advance of the Germans
on the Neutrality-suspicious. line.
These and subsequent successes
convinced the French military au-
thorities that the light tank" was
an effective and efficient arm.

Breakfast in the Canyon

And what a breakfast. Last Sun
day morning, Oct. 8, a number OF
high-school girls, accompanied by
three of the teachers, Miss Bailey,
Mrs. Thomson and Mrs. Kalef, left
at 1880 o'clock for a picnic break
fast. Owing to the unusual hour of
arising, it took some generalship
to get everybody started, each with
the proper Implements.
Finally, with basket and bag. cof-
fee pot and frying pans, we started
briskly off. Making u way
through the crisp morning air, with
it's pungent smell of sage brush n
our nostrils, we climbed up the
rocks of the canyon to a most con-
venient flat spot, close by the
spring, where, after various argu-
ments, we succeeded in building a
fire in a cleft in the rocks, pro-
tected somewhat from the wind. 1t
was during this warm discussion
that the following Officials" were
selected: Mrs. Kalef, general man
ager and chief cook, assisted by
! Miss Bailey, chief spud peeler, and
Mrs. Thomson, chief fire maker, po-
/ sitions in which they severally prov
ed their efficiency. Incidentally,
we girls found that beside our
.ohooI UorL ua bod cavaraI THINGS
to learn in domestic science.
In due time, with much gusto,
we each presented our plates to the
chief cook, for generous helpings Of
bacon, fried potatoes and scrambled
eggs. Whenever did steaming cof-
fee smell and taste so good? In
the midst of our meal we were in
terrupted by a sound like thunder
reverberating down the mountain
side and by a wild halloo from the
top of the cliff, where, s~ilhouetted
against the sky were what appeared
to be three active jumping jacks,
each with a frying pan. We had
just time to see this much before
we scattered to escape the thunder
bolts from above. Had we incurred
the ~displeasure of the gods, or had
Jupiter enough of his job and
changed places with the Old Nick?
At any rate, we suddenly decided
to climb the malapai on the oppo-
site side and hurriedly gathered up
our scattered outfit. When We be-
gan the steep ascent, taking M
step forward and two backward,
sliding in the sand, our mysterious foe
from above charged down the noun
tain side and were again after is
and proved to be nothing more dan
gerous than a trio of our own Boy
Scouts, who were gallant enough to
assist us with our packs, and care
less enough to break all the dishes
we had left.
Up and up, then over the mesa
we went. taking some snaps on the
way, and then down the canyon,
where we slid over the precipitous
rocks down to Rabbit springs, where

GREAT PHOSPHATE
FIELD FOUND
ON GERMAN
ISLANDS

WASHINGTON, D. c., Oct. 10
Control of valuable and extensive
deposits of phosphate rock OF
Pleasant island and Ocean ISL
and, former German property now
in the hands of the British, is be-
ing sought by Australia and New
Zealand with a view to working the
deposits and using the fertilizing
agent on the soil of the south Pa
cific colonies.
The islands are located about
midway between Marshall and Solo
mon islands and are of coral for
nation. For ages they have been
the rookeries of sea birds that have
deposited guano, and this has i'm
pregnated the limestone, forming
phosphate rock about 40 feet deep.
The quantity of phosphates avail
able is estimated at 500, 000,O 00
tons and as a fertilizer it is said to
rival the famous nitrate of Chile.
