DAREDEVILS OF WAR
American Courage Put to Test in
the Drive of General Byng
Toward Cambria.

Detroit Free Press: American
courage was put to the test when
General Byng made his drive to-
ward Cambria. Corporal James
Baker, a Yankee soldier of fortune
enlisted with the British forces, was
on the job when the British tanks
plowed over the German trenches.
Baker assumed command OF his pla-
toon when all OF his superior Of
ficers were wiped out by German
gunfire. He ordered his men to fol-
low in the wake Of one of the tanks,
which had crunched through Ger
man first line trench, and was lum-
bering toward the second line OF
Boche defenses.
There was large force of Huns
in the second row of trenches and
when the tank broke through their
wire barriers. they swarmed about
the unwieldy box of iron and hurled
grenadcs at the port holes. Some Of
the Huns even fought their way to
the top OF the tank, and tried to
force open the trap door.
Give them the bayonet," yelled
Baber, and his men advanced on the
run with British yells. There fol-
lowed a hand-to-hand struggle, as
bitter as anything recorded in his
tory.
The Britishers slashed right and
left with trench knives. AT one time
Baker engaged three Huns; he
nearly severed the neck OF one with
his trench knife. spitted another,
and choked a third to death with his
bare hands. He was here, there. and
everywhere in the whirlpool OF bat
tie. -
Terrified the Boches fled. but most
OF them were cut down before they
had retrested any great distance.

ers after the tank. now quite little
in advance. At that moment a Ger
man battery began peppering the
tank, and every time shell hit the
big tractor there was noise like
the sounding of the village fire gong
Baker did not falter. Pointing his
saber at the guns of the Huns, he
helled:
Come on, boys, we've got to spike
those guns over there"
He leaped forward into the face
of the shell fire and his men fol-
lowed. swept 10 the crest Of the hill
and swarmed over the Boche breast

WHEN RUSSIAN
Assassin SLEW THE
GERMAN AMBASSADOR

Amsterdam, July 10. - c r
respondence of The Associated
Press)-Russians who assassinated
General Won Mirbach. the German
Ambassador to Russia, concealed
their weapons under the table over
which they were conversing with
the German diplomat, according to
details of the killing published by
the Berlin Lokal Anzeiger as com
ing form an eyewitness OF the muir
der.
Count Mirback, Privy Councillor
Riesler, and Lieutenant Mueller,
were seated with the two Russians
at a marble table in the middle OF
the room says the witness. "On
one side were the Germans. and on
the other the Russians as they were
seated in low leather chairs, which
was an advantage for the Russians
as they were thus able to get their
weapons ready under the marble
table without being observed. while
their victims, leaning back in their
chairs, offered an easy target.
During the conversation the
Russians began to turn over the
pages of their documents as though
in search of some missing papers,
and the attention of the Germans
was thus distracted by this pause.
While Count Mirback and his col
leagues imagined that the Russians
were examining the documents, the
Russians had drawn out their
weapons under the cover of the
table.
"They then sprang up with re-
volvers, and began firing! one Rus
sian aiming at Cout Mirback the
other at the two Germans. Count
Mirback hit in the back of the head.
On hearing the shots, people hur-
ricd in from the neighboring rooms,
and the Russians thereupon took to
flight. but. before springing out OF
the window, each of them hurled

exploded. the splnters OF which hit

AMERICANS INSPIRE BRITISH
Sacrifice of People of U. S. for Cause
of Allies Heartens Resistance
Against Barbarians.

Detroit Free Press: One OF the
finest moral actions in this war has
been done by America, writes Har.
old Begbie, London Chronicle cor.
respondent. 1t is action on gi-
gantic scale, and yet of a directly
personal character. Insufficient pub
licity, I think, has been given to this
action.
Is it realized by the people of this
country that America has already
saved us from capitulating to the
enemy? Either we should have been
forced into this surrender with our
armies unbroken and our munitions
of war unexhausted) or we should at
this moment be struggling to live
and work and fight on one-third of
our present rations.
America is sending to these islands
almosttwo-thirds OF our food sup
plies. Sixty-ive per cent of the es-
sental foodstuffs eaten by the Brit
ish citizen comes to him from the
American continent. This in itself
is something which calls for our
lively gratitude. But there is a quail
ty in the action of America which
should intensity our gratitude. For
these American supplies, essential
to our health and safety, represent in
very large measure the personal and
voluntary sedf-sacrifice of the indi-
vidual American citizen. They are
not crumbs from the table of Dives.
They are not the commandeered
supplies of an autocratic govern
ment. They represent, rather, the
kindly, difficult and entirely willing
self-sacrifce of whole nation, the
vast majority of whom are uorking
people.
There is only one altar for this
act of sacrifice-it is the table of
the American working classes. And
the rite is performed by men, wo-
men and children at every meal of
the day, day after day, week after
week.
This act of elf-sacrifice, let us re-
member is made in the midst OF
plenty. Well might the American
housewife ask why she should de-
prive her children of food, why she
should institute wheatless and meat
less days, when all about her there
is visible super-abundance of these
things. Questions such as this are
natural enough on the other side of
the Atlantic, and on the other side
Of the American continent, though
5000 miles away from the battlehelds
of France.
But the citizens of America do not
ask such questions. With cheer
fulness and courage which are as
vigorous as their industry, and with
moral earnestness which is by far
the greatest demonstration America
has yet given to the world of Amer
ican character, these people so far
away from us on the other side of
the Atlantic, have willingly and with
no coercion by the state, denied
for the sake of the en-
tente. They are going short, they
are going hungry for our sakes.
They are practicing an intimate self
sacrifice that we may hold our own
till their sons come to fight at our
side. All over America the individual
American citizen is making this
self-sacrificing and making it with
out murmur. He is feeding by his
personal sacrifice, not only these is
lands, but France, Italy and many
of the neutrals.

abroad-soldiers and sailors at the
fighting front, in camp and aboard
ship, farmers striving for increased
crops in this country, and hosts OF
others engaged in backing up the
iighters-are to be shown in motion
pictures at state fairs i'll twenty-three
states this summer and fall IN con
nection with the combined exhibits
of the government.
The military, naval and food pro-
duction and conservation films are
to be supplemented by beautiful
views of America as seen in the ma
tional parks and by pictures showing
reclamation of arid lands, highway
construction and other government
al activities.
The pictures, with the combined
government exhibits, will be shown
from September 2l to 2S at the Ok
lahoma State Fair and Exposition.
Admission to the government dis
plays will be free. Five groups OF
the films will travel on as many fair
circuits, and beginning in August
will be shown from New York to
California.
Food Growing Films Numerous
Because of the efforts of the de-
partment of agriculture to stimulate
increased food production, probably
more films will be shown on this
subject than any other. Pictures
have been taken in many parts OF
the country to Illustrate improved
methods of agriculture, stock rails
ing, home economics and forest
management. The best and most
appropriate of these will be shown at
the fairs.
To the forests Of the northwest
the government cameras went to get
pictures of the terrible forest fires
that yearly destroy thousands of
acres OF valuable timber and some
times wipe out whole townships. In
this film are seen the work OF the
forest rangers and the spectacle OF
an entire community going out to
fight fire.
Cotton planting, cotton ginning
and manufacture, and the Eighth

we're filmed in the south. Cooper
ative berry growing in the Pacific
northwest and work of the coop
erative dairy testing associations in
New England indicate that the cam
era covers the country.
Road Building on Screen.
The building and repair of public
roads Of various types have been
photographed in many different
states. The whole process, begin
ming with the quarry where the
rock is tested to determine its
strength and durability, is shown.
Then come the crushing and fur
ther testing of the rock, the use of
cement and macadam, the grading
and filing of the road, and the final
polishing off with the big steam
roller.
American manufacture Of wool,
especially timely during the war,
and processes of grading and sort
ing wool after it reaches warehouses
through the combing and winding
until it is ready to be made into dit
ferent grades of woolen cloth, also
are covered in film. Other features
of improved and scientific farming
treated include the building of silos,
the proper handling Of poultry and
the production OF scientifically pure
milk.

Senator Jacob Harold Gallinger,
of New Hampshire, was the oldest
member of the United States senate
both in years and in point of service
Since 1881 he had been a conspicu-
Gus figure in the senate, taking no;
only a leading part in its discus
sions, but ranking as a dominating
figure in its leadership and in the
counsels of the republican party. AS
minority leader the senator had been
