Quick Work Ahead

Bat at two A. M. a French general
walked me up with the announcement
that the Germans were advancing and
that the hospital had to be complete
ly evacuated in 10 minutes. He made
it very clear it would have to be
done in ten minutes or we'd find our
selves in No Mans Land. SO turned
the men out and we went to work
in the dark.
AS a matter OF fact those ten min
utes stretched until after six o'clock
when. we carried the last of the
wounded men out. Some of them were
in bad way and had to be handled
very slowly. We put them in our
camions and took them to the Disc
canal, whence transferred to barges,
they were conveyed to Paris.
That left the hospital with only
two American army surgeons the
Red Cross personnel, and a French
chaplain The American surgeons
looked about the place rather lone |
somely, but one of them said he felt |
something was going to happen, and
that before long there'd be plenty of !
wor for everybody The guns thund-
ering all around us seemed to bear
him out. And he made no mistake.
Plenty of Wounded

American army ambulances wheeled
up with loads of English and French

RED CROSS TRUCK DRIVER
FINDS REAL EXCITEMENT

and Written for The United Press)
With the Red Cross Overseas,
Aug. 14-There We're six trucks in
the convoy that | took up to the
front when the Germans we're adyane-
ing toward Paris. We left Paris at
midnight the trucks loaded with food,
medical supplies and blankets. Al
though there was heavy movement
along the roads, we plugged along
all night without many delays until
about five o'clock in the morning,
when we came to a dead stop
Artillery, transport camions sol
diers and refugees blocked the way
We couldn't go a yard farther. Our
orders were to go to with the
supply stuff; but we couldn't have
done it without an airplane.
The army was moving and the little
space it left in the road way was oc-
cupied by the refugees, They came
streaming back in every sort of con
veyance or on foot, pushing their
belongings in barrows and hand
carts. Up ahead somewhere the guns
were drumming long, ceaseless roll.
With N-off the map, at it werer l
speeded back to A-where there was
a hospital in an old chateau. In this
were sixty wounded American sol
diers and about 200 French. There
were two American Army surgeons
and a few French and English nurses.
That afternoon we evacuated the
Americans from the hospital and
made them all comfortable in their
new Judgement at c. After that we
drove back to A and turned in. be-
cause we looked forward to a hard
day.

In April the Jennings collided with
a British tanker. Both were carrying
oil cargoes and the impact from the
collision set the oil afire. Thirty sew

Blaze is Very Fierce

For several days the blaze was so
fierce that salvage ships were unable
to approach either ship. Finally they
managed to beach the British ship.
The smoke for a time prevented ap-
proach to the Jennings. When it fin
ally cleared, the heat prevented ap-
proach. Finally destroyers were
brought up and several rounds of shot

in the hull, and she sank just far.
enough to jut out the blaze. The Jen-
nings was then beached, and the
remainder OF the oil removed with
pumps. 1t is estimated the value of
the cargo removed from the Jen-
nings was 100000 dollars. The
Jennings has bee repaired. and now
is ready for sea. The British vessel
is still submerged, but she is ex-
pected to be fioated soon. Close to
100000 dollars worth of cargo is
being removed from her.

The Kaiser met the Devil in an agi-

Bill approached him quite contrite-

Your paper is a welcome visitor at
our home and thinking how we are in
terested at the mention Of our friends
in Wisconsin, I thought some might
be interested to hear how we are sit
uated here in New York.
Arcade is a pleasant village of near
ly two thousand inhabitants, about
forty miles from Buffalo, and was
probably named from the regular arch
of maple trees Overhanging its prin-
cipal streets. It has paved streets,
electricity and water systems, owned
by the municipality; good high
school; four churches; two banks;
about a dozen stores; knitting mill,
that employs about one hundred peo-
pie, and milk powder plant, which
takes most of the milk for distance
of ten miles around, besides cOnsid-
cradle that is shipped in from other
places. The price of milk for January
was 1884 per hundred for three per
cent milk, with four cents per hundred
added for each one-tenth of a per cent
above that. Arcade also has a shoe
last factory, a planning mill and other
industries.
Our farm of 200 acres lies just with
in the village limits. There is large
house of seventeen rooms and three
smaller houses, one of which is occu-
pied by our son. There is a cow barn
4Ox10O, a horse barn, and all other
necessary buildings. We have quite
