ROYAL ROAD TO HAPPINESS
Much Depends on Making Proper Use
of What One Is Fortunate
Enough to Possess.

Upon the use we make of what we
have depends in large measure not
only our success in life, but, what is
more TO the point, our happiness, re-
marks Charleston News and Courier
NJ is because we do not appreciate the
blessings that we possess that SO many
of us fail, because common sense tells
us that if we have the ability to I'M
derstand and appreciate the gifts and
favors that are ShOwered upon US we
would, ut the same time, possess the
ability to make the right use of them.
Of course, there are cases where cir
cumStances for the time being at least
prevent US from applying our talents
TO the best possible use, but such cir
cumStanceS do not stand in our WY
all the time, and if we have sufficient
determination and perseverance the
chances are that we will in the end
make good use of what we have. pro-
vided we thoroughly appreciate the
latter. Our talents, fortunately. do not
all lie in the same direction any more
than our personal iRclinations do, and

very strange to me that both of my
pals should be crucifled and if / were
superstitious l do not know what
would think about it. 1t made me
sick and kept me from recovering as
fast as | would have done otherwise.
Both Brown and Murray were good
pals and very good men in a fight
the things we did together, but lately
I have tried not to think about them
much because it is very sad to think
what torture they must have had to
stand. They were both of great credit
to this country.
The American consul visited me
quite often and 1 got to calling him
Sherlock because he asked so many
questions. We played lots of games
together, mostly with dice, and had a
great time generally. After l became
convalescent he argued with me that
had seen enough, and though l really
did think sO--however much l disliked
what l had seen-he got my discharge
from the service on account of phys
ical inability to discharge the usual
duties. After l had been at the hos
pital for a little over month | was
discharged from it, after little party
,, in my ward with everyone taking part
and all the horns blowing and all the
records except my favorite dirge
played one after another.
Sherlock arranged everything for
me-my passage to New York. cloth
ing, etc. / ran up to st. Nazaire and
saw my grandmother, loafed around
while and also visited Lyons.
After a short time | returned to
Brest and got my passage on the
Georgia for New York. l had three
trunks with me full of things had
picked up around Europe and had
been keeping with my grandmother.
Among my belongings were several
! things / should like to show by pho
| tographs in this book, but no one but
mermaids can see them now, for down
to the locker of Davy Jones they went.

WOMEN HANDLE BIG SHELLS
Young Mother Gave Practical Demon
stration of Their Physical Fit
ness to Do So.

When women first were put to work
in shell factories in England they
handled only the light field-gun shells.
Later it became necessary for them to
turn out larger shells, and doubts were
raised as to whether the women were
strong enough to handle them. A
young mother settled the question.
LET me heft the she'll" she said,
picking one up from the floor. AYE"
she commented, 'this shell is mite
heavy, it's true, but it's not so heavy
as my baby" %
There is a shell factory in the Liv-
erpool district operated almost exclu7
sively by the daughters of business
and professional men. Many are
young girls who had never done any
kind of work other than needle work
and cooking. The heavy work of the
establishment is performed by the
wives of sailors.
This is a nonprof1t-rnaking factory
and it is the reply of the Cunard COM
papy to the Germans for the sinking
of the Lusitania.

yelled, give la France" and were
glad to see the boys again, even
though they were badly done up.
Some Of our men were bandaged
all over the face and head and it was
funny when they had to tell their
names to OLD friends of theirs, who
did not recognize them. AS soon as
one of the Brest people recognized
friend off he would go to get cigarettes
and other things for him and some OF
| them almost beat US to the hospital.
1 do not know. of course, just what
the surgeons did to me, but heard
that they had my eyeball out on my
| cheek for almost two hours. At any
rate they saved it. The thigh wounds
were not dangerous in themselves and
| If it had not been for the rough treat
ment they got later on they would be
quite healed by this time, l am sure.
1 really think 1 got little extra at
| tention in the hospital in many ways,
| for the French were at all times anx-
lous to show their friendliness to
America. Every time my meals were
served there was little American
| flag on the platter and always a large
American flag draped over the bed. l
had everything 1 wanted given to me
at once and when l was able to, all
the cigarettes 1 could smoke, which
were not many.
While I was still in bed in the hos
| Nj hA 10 Gno
which l had won at the Dardanelles
The presentation was made by Lieu
tenant Barley. He pinned an Ameri-
can flag on my breast, French flag
beneath it and beneath that the war
cross. He kissed me on both cheeks,
of course, which was taking advantage
of cripple. But 1t Is the usual thing
with the French, as you know mean
the kissing, not the meanness to
cripples.
When he had pinned the medal on
he said he thanked me from the bot
tom of his heart for the French people,
and also thanked all the Americans
who had come over from their own
land to help a country with which
most of them were not connected. He
said 1t was a war in which many ma
tons were taking part, but in which
there were just TWO ideas, freedom
and despotism, and a lot more things
that / cannot remember. He finished
by saying that he wished he could dec
crate all of us.
Of course it was great stuff for me
and I thought l was the real thing
sure enough, but l could not help
thinking of the remark / have heard
here in the States-"I thank you and
the whole family thanks you" And it
was hard not to laugh. Also 1t seemed
funny to me, because l did not rightly
know just what they were giving me
the medal for-though It was for one
of two things-and l do not know to
this day. But / thought It would not
be polite to ask, so let it go at that
There were twelve other naval Off
GERS who were present and they and
all the other people did lot of cheer
ing and vived me to fare-you-well
1t was great stuff, altogether, and
should have liked to get medal every
day.
One day l received a letter from a
man who had been in my company in
the Foreign Legion and with whom
had been pretty chummy. His letter
was partly in French and partly in
English. 1t was all about who had
been killed and who had been wound
ed. He also mentioned Murray's
death, which he had heard about, and
about my receiving the Croix de

board side, which was unusual. Rut
did not think anything of it until l
came over the side. There were the
side boys lined up, and the Old Man
was there, with the ships steward
beside him.
He took the log book from the stew
ard and showed it to me, and there
was my name on it. Now when you
are punished for anything you are
logged, but 1 could not figure out what
had done to get punished for. so L
was very much surprised. But the
Old Man slapped me on the back and
everybody cheered, and then l saw IL
was not punishment, but just the OPP
posite.
When people ask me what l have
received my decoration for tCroix de
Guerre), / tell them I do not rightly
know. and that is a fact. l do not
know whether it was for going back
from those trenches or for destroying
the storehouses. So 1 always tell them
l. got 1t for working overtime. That
is what the Llmeys say, or if they
have the Victoria cross they say they
got 1t for being very careless. ASK
one of them and see.
All of us were certainly glad to be
aboard the Cassard again. and If any
place ever looked like home to me 1t
was the old ship. Our casualties were
very high and we were therefore or
dered to put back to Brest. We had
great little celebration that night,
and next morning weighed anchor and
started back, after clearing for action.

ray, but very much relieved as to the
safety of my own skin, and l figured
that after the Dardanelles and my last
day there they had not made the right
bullet for me yet. The rest of us felt

ing all the time.

Greatest Celebration Country
Ever Has Known.
Frenzied Crowds Pack Streets OF
Cities and viIlages-Buslness
Forgotten.

Chicago, Nov. 12.-When darkness
fell last night and the dinner hour of
normal days impended, America had
just got a good running start on the
celebration which began with the
sounding of the victory sirens and
bombs early Monday morning and the
faring of skyrockets and fireworks.
But there was no such thing as din
ner hour last night, and there was no
place like home.
The usual order of evening traffic
was reversed. With the streets In every
city and town of the country so packed,
it seemed a wonder the crowds could
keep in motion.
By sheer weight of their enthusiasm
the newcomers managed to find shout
der room in the streets and an active
part in the widest spectacle America
has ever staged, according to reports
coming from every part of the country.

When | looked around l saw that

We're three lines of trenches with
French infantry in them. So the
trenches L had come from were more
like outp0sts than anything else. and
were cut off. l felt pretty sure, then,
that the boys in them would never
come back alive, because as soon as
their fire let up the Turks would adj
vance, and to keep them back our guns
would have to wipe out our men. and
II they did not, the Turks would. At

then / remembered what the artillery
officer had said and 1 figured would
have TO go back and stay with them
or bring them back. Either way there
was not one chance in hundred that
any of us would make it. Because
when l got through it was really just
a miracle and nobody would have
thought It could happen.

State Lansing issued the following
statement

that their patriotism, their loyalty and
their splendid spirit of service and
sacrifice have been rewarded. Prus-
sian militarism is ended; it no longer
menaces liberty end justice. But be-
fore us lie new tasks and new burdens
which we must assume with the same
unity Of purpose, the same devotion
and zeal, as have characterized the re-
public during this great war Let us,
while we celebrate this day of vic
tory, look forward to the future con-
scious of our supreme duty to human
ity and confident in the united will of
the nation"
