OLD MEN FIND WAY TO
 SERVE THEIR COUNTRY

LONDON. June S-The Evening News tells "the splendid story of how number of London men, too old for fighting themselves, will be infected with trench fever in order that the dis. ease may be traced to it's source. Many were veterans of former wars and are still anxious to make sacri. flee to help the country. Two of the first volunteers, who Investigator Mai. Evans says are real heroes, were w. H. Cole and H. H. Edgeler, inmates of Greenwich Union infirmary. Cole, who is GA, is an old soldier who served
 as a gunner in Lord Roberts column
 in the famous march to Kandahar. Edgeier, who is IS, was in the United States at the outbreak of the war and came to England hoping to be of use.
 There are five or six others, two being over 70. One allowed his leg muscle to be removed for the purpose of microscopic examination, the legs being the chief center of pain for this disease. This volunteer felt the suf. fering. but is progressing favorably. Doctors expect to be able to find a treatment which will neutralize the germ in the blood. London Times
