Bombs Used Freely.

With the British Armies in France
June 3.-Bombing warfare on the most
colossal scale thus far seen is in pro
gress on the British front nightly. Prus
slams and allies do not stop dropping
high explosives from sunset to sunrise
Astride the line and far into the back
area, the countryside literally rocks
with stunning super-concussions, while
the star lit sky is aflicker with Archie
bursts.
British hospitals continue to receive
the full force of German hate. Another
base hospital, one of the biggest in the
war zone, and as far behind the lines as
it was possible to install it, has been
bombed by Germans who first dropped
flare to illuminate the target, then
let fly with bombs A number of at
tendants were killed.

A Tribute to Our
Young Citizens

A pleasing feature of Memorial Day
is the help given the Women of the
Relief Corps by some of the pupils of
he Lincoln school.
Ia honor of their comrades sleeping

aud places a new flag in the Marker
that designates every soldiers grave.
IN the evening of the Goth committee
Of w, P. G, workers, follows to place
flowers on every flag marked grave. To
share this work for two years past,
some pupils from Lincoln school have
asked Last year their commander de-
tailed squad Of Boy Scouts to Lead
them. Wednesday, about a score from
Lincoln joined us at the cemetery,
where we were making bouquets from
flowers contributed by the Highland
school and brought by Post Commander
| liuddleson. The children brought the
Flowers gathered by their school and the
Mckinley, in memory of our soldier
dead. AS we worked busily tying up
bouquets for nearly 200 graves, the
children with willing, eager feet chas-
ed up aud down the long aisles of the
two cemeteries and il is very seldom
that marked grave escapes their
bright eyes.
We praise the loyalty and patriotism
Of our brave boys and our nurses at
the front but we have lots more of the
same material here at home in the boys

NAVY SEEKS CRACK PLAYERS
Every Big League Athlete VIII Be
Asked to Join, but No Special
Ratings Offered.

Every big league baseball player in
the country is to be invited to join the
navy at once, according to letters pre-
pared by Ensign w. I. Denny, recruit
ing officer at the Great Lakes Training
station, under the direction Of Capt.
William A. Moffett, commandant.
'We are asking them to join the
navy because we want the best men
we can get" Captain Moffett declared.
However, there will be no special rat
ing for them, but we will give them
the best ratings for which they can
qualify"
Captain Moffett also intimated there
would be no permanent ''shore duty"
but that the baseball men enlisting
would be prepared for sea service as
fast as possible.

special operation, there are always
men willing to give some-a leg If
necessary to save some mangled mate
from being crippled for life. More
than one man will go through life with
another mans blood running through
his veins, or piece of his rib or his
shinbone in his own anatomy. Some
times he never even knows the name of
his benefactor.
The spirit Of sacrifice is wonderful.
For all the suffering caused this war
is a blessing to England-it has made
new men of her sons; has welded all
classes into one glorious whole.
And can't help saying that the doc
tors, sisters, and nurses in the English
hospitals, are angels on earth. l love
them all and can never repay the care
and kindness shown to me. For the
rest of my life the Red Cross will be
to me the symbol Of Faith, Hope and
Charity.
After four months in the hospital, I
went before an examining board and
was discharged from the service of his
for further war service"
After my discharge l engaged pass
age on the American liner New York,
and after a stormy trip across the At
lantic one momentous day, in the haze
of early dawn, | saw the statue Of lib
erty looming over the port rail, and
wondered If ever again 1 would go

and give them hell"
And even then, though it may seem
strange, was really sorry not to be
back in the trenches with my mates.
War is not pink tea, but in worth
while cause like ours, mud, rats, COO
ties, shells, wounds, or death itself, are
far outweighed by the deep sense Of
satisfaction felt by the man who does
his bit.
There is one thing which my ex-
perience taught me that might help the
boy who may have to go. 1t is this
anticipation is far worse than realiza-
ton. In civil life a man stands in awe
Of the man above him, wonders how he
could ever fill his job. When the time
comes he rises to the occasion, is up
and at it, and is surprised to find how
much more easily than he anticipated
he fills his responsibilities. 1t is reallf
so "out there"
He has nerve for the hardships; the
interest of the work grips him he finds
relief in the fun and comradeship OF
the trenches and wins that best sort OF
happiness that comes with duty well
done.

CREDIT LOST FOR HOME RUN
Batsman Winning Game by Knocking
Ball Out of Park Should Be
Given Home Run Hit.

When the baseball rules are getting
their next revision, whenever that
may be, an effort will be made to
change the present Interpretation in
regard to home runs which decide ball
games. Under the system now in
vogue a batsman may hit the ball
outside a park, but if the runners on
bases settle the game the hitter does
not get credit for his home run, and
it docs not go into the records as
such. This is an injustice to the
batsman, says writer in an ex-
change. While the run does not score
in the game, since it is not nee
essary, there is no reason why 1T
should not go into the summary OF
the game and into the official records
as home run. 1t is the most timely
of hits and important enough to set
tie a game. Babe Ruth recently hit
into the stands at Boston, one of his
longest hits of the year, yet it does
not show in his record Of home runs.
Pipp hit into the stands at the Polo
grounds recently and broke up a ball
game, yet is not credited with 81 home
run. This feature should be changed
so as to give the batsman credit.

a mufied oh" and a few other
qualifying adjectives, he stopped down
and took the man in his arms like a
baby-he was no feather, either-and
staggered down the ward with him, put
him in bed and undressed him. A low
murmur of approval came from the pa
tients. Doctor Frost got very red, and
as soon as he had finished undressing
Palmer, hurriedly left the ward.
The wound in my face had almost
healed and I was a notwithstanding

knot, the eye pulled down, and my
mouth pointing in a north by north
west direction. l was very downheart-
ed and could imagine myself during
the rest of my life being Stunned by
all on account of the repulsive scar.
Doctor Frost arranged for me to go
to the Cambridge Military hospital at
Aldershot for a special operation to
try and make the scar preSentable.
l arrived at the hospital and got an
awful shock. The food was poor and
the discipline abnormally strict. No
patient was allowed to sit on his bed,
and smoking was permitted only at
certain designated hours. The face
specialist did nothing for me except
to look at the wound. I made appli-
cation for a transfer back to Paignton,
offering to pay my transportation.
This offer was accepted, and after two
weeks absence, once again l arrived
in Munsey ward, all hope gone.
The next day after my return Doc
tor Frost stopped at my bed and said:
swell, Empey, if you want me to try
and see what / can do with that scar
I'll do 1t, but you are taking an awful
chance"
/ answered: "Well, doctor, Steve
Brodie took chance; he halls from
New York and so do l."

squad carried me to the operating
room or pictures" as we called them
because of the funny films we see I'M

formed. 1t was wonderful piece of
surgery and a marvellous success.
From now on that doctor can have my
shirt.
More than once some poor soldier
has been brought into the ward in
dying condition, resulting from loss of
blood and exhaustion caused by his
long journey from the trenches. After
an examination the doctor announces
that the only thing that will save him
is a TRANSMISSION of blood. Where is
the blood to come from? He does not
have to wait long for an answer-sev-

their blood for their mate. Three or
four are accepted; a blood test is
made, and next day the TRANSMISSION

When Horses Get nPipped.n

When an army horse is wounded
about the face or jaw 1t Is not sent
down to the veterinary lines, but Is
kept to be tended by its driver.
Then it is that good drivers care
comes in, for the men tend them most
carefully, feeding them by hand, boil
ing their oats, making them mashes,
and spending most of the day with
their charges until they can feed in
comfort again. 1t is this personal
care of the man for his horse that has
been the cause of the new order that
all horses have to be returned from
hospital to their own units again; for
mans care is by no means transferred
to the same extent to new team OF
horses.

engineer of great ability and vet
eran of the Spanish-American war,
Huston Joined the colors soon after
war was declared.
Jim Dunn was the first magnate to
order his ball park closed under
the work-or-fght order. The day
after Secretary Baker announced
that ball players must either don a
uniform or go to work in some essen
tial occupation Dunn wired his bust
ness manager to close shop and to dis
band the ball club.
There was no quibbling on Dunn's
part. Although his club was in Sec
ond place and had excellent chances
of coping a pennant this year, he
didn't hesitate.
eff the government needs my men
it can have them"
That was Dunn's philosophy.
Dunn offered the use of his great
construction organization to the gov
eminent early in the war.
eff they want me-" he said, 'Tn go
along and run it."
The government decided that the
Dunn construction forces would be
more use at home.
Baseball was more or less of a
mania with Dunn. He had owned
several minor league clubs before he
decided to get into the major game
and bought the Cleveland club. He
never got his money out of the in
vestment and never realized his am
bition Of winning a pennant, which
to him meant a great deal more than
the mere money involved.
But when the time came he gave up
ambition. investment and all.
Dunn can well be rated side by side
with Captain Huston.
