II was dark. The surgeon, seeing
what he thought We're lights of a town
near the bUse. headed the motor boat
in what he supposed the correct dlrec-
tion. They surgcd through the light
seas for an hour or more. They ap-
preached close to the supposed home

a shell was heard coming straight at
them. 1t exploded directly in the back
of the boat. \ second shell dropped
about two hundred yards in front.

the surgeon.
The men went overheard. Half
minute later n shell struck in the cen

in her and sank her.
A strong current was running up
the shore. Doctor Stevens and one 9TH

ed for the nearest point of land. They
reached the beach. They were drag

had just reached the shallow water
when squad of German soldiers
marched down the sands with drawn
bayonets and commanded:
Surrender! You are on German

Doctor Stevens and his companion
surrendered.
Meanwhile the other five men were

ecutive officer, as the car drew up.
Taken prisoner by the Germans,
was the reply.
"Well, 1 guess he is lucky at that.
His pet place, in which he always
stands when the raiders come, was
blown to pieces half an hour ago"
1--WE have been wondering who Is
the luckier of the two-Stevens or

"Dooley for not being captured or
Stevens for not being killed."

NURSES

LOndon.-America has poured n

American nurses have been sent over.
Within the year there will be right
here on the ground more than $4,000
Of these American girls behind the

This is the estimate of Miss Carrie
NJ. Hall of Boston, head of all Ameri-
can Red Cross nurses in Great Britain
OF the 1000 now here. between
600 and 700 are working in Great Brit
ain in the dozen or more American
hospitals that have sprung into being
within the past six months. The re-
mainder are stating hospitals behind
the lines in France.
With the arrival of American sol

gent Of nurses from the American Red
Cross unit at Toxic, Japan. AS hos
tilities and American casualties begin
there more United States army regu-
lar nurses probably will be sent to

All Highly Trained.
All women sent over so far are high
ly trained graduate nurses, bacteriolo-
gists, dietitians and college trained
hygiene experts. The war department
in Washington has ruled that only
these trained women may be sent over
for the time being, at least.
For this reason General Pershing's
recent call for 5000 girl workers with
the American army in France will be
filed by British instead of American
girls. Eng'and's women's army, the

telephonists, etc, with the American
army.
Practically every troop convoy
from the United States brings scores
more of these women experts. From
peace loving American homes that
have not yet felt the grim hand of
war these blue-clad Yankee girls, like
their big brothers, are plunging into
this maelstrom of war with deter
mination and efficiency that has won
for them already the unstinted praise
of all the allies.
They know they've got a man-sized
job before them, stripped of all the
so-called glamour of war; and they're
tackling it in n mans way. Up in the
field and base hospitals under shell
fire and valiantly Drawing air raid ter
rors, they're carrying on untiringly,
night and day, working increasingly to
save the lives of our boys.
Miss Hall, who was one of the first
American nurses to arrive in France
Immediately after the United States
decided to jump into this job of wind
ing up the watch on the Rhine, was
witness of the sterling quality of
American womanhood in this war un-

Our tents were shown up like silver

We leaped from our beds. There was
no panic. The hum Of the Boche ma

about five minutes, but in that short

TENTS containing American wound

hospital buildings moved down like

were killed and score or more in

doctors was wonderful. Forgetting
self. they plunged into the work of
rescue.
'One girl. Eva Parmalee of Boston
was on duty in one of the tents most
badly hit. One bomb fell so near her
clothing was ripped and torn by bits
of flying debris and pieces of sand
lodged in the flesh Of her face. Un-

REGIMENT BoNE-DRY

The 15sth infantry, formerly the
First Arizona infantry now in France,
lays claim to call itself the driest regi-

Press dispatch. The men base this
claim on the fact that the entire COM

soon after being mustered into federal
service took an oath to drink no intox-
fcants until the present war is ended.
