Tom Longboat. one OF the most ia

world, has come to light Tom enlisted
away back before the United States got
into the war and it was shortly after
he arrived on the shores of France that
notices to the effect that the famous
Indian runner had been killed were pub
lished broadcast. The letter recently
received from the big Indian puts all
these stories to rout. however, as the
former long-distance star is serving in
the British army in the capacity of a
runner. He has been in the thick Of the
fight all during his enlistment and he
has even been knocked down by the
concussion Of shells. but as yet has suf-
fered no ill effects. Longboat is par
ticularly serious about winning the mill
tary medal and he has been doing some
wonderful work in his capacity along
the front line trenches. Teddy Wood,
holder of the world record for running
fifteen miles, met his death in the same
line of duty as that in which Longboat
is engaged.
