ROMAN SOLDIER
 RAMS A GENERAL
By HENRY WOOD

ROME, Aug. IS. (By Mail. )-Giu.
 lio Revi, an IS year-old volunteer from Rome, has just been granted the su-
 preme distinction of the Italian gener-
 al staff-namely leave of absence
 to visit his family in recognition of military bravery-for having captured
 an Austrian general.
 That too much discredit should not be attached to the Austrian general for having surrendered without at least having negotiated the privilege of retaining his sword, it must be ex- plained that the general surrendered after Revi, convicting himself into a battering ram, plunged his head with terrific force into the solar plexus of the general. This left the latter with out sufficient breath to open negotia- tions.
 Revi's deed was cited at the time in the Italian official communique. He was one of a patrol of "arditi" vol unteer soldiers who insist on pushing constantly into battle, who during the Austrian offensive of June found with sixty Austrians. Four of the 8 "arditi" were killed, and there seemed little chance for the remaining four when one of them, al young man from Padova, suddenly shouted:
 "Assaulting solumn, forward! De- ploy and attack"
 The ruse was effective, and the 60 Austrians began a nasty retreat, a somewhat aged officer with group of defenders remaining behind to cover the rear. At once the four re- maining "arditi" attacked this rear guard, Revi picking out the officer who appeared to be in command, and dashing forward with full speed, with his head low, rammed the latter full into the stomach of the Austrian off cerl
 A terrific hand-to-hand struggle en- sued. While Revi kept beating down his prey, the other "arditi" engaged the officers who sought to defend their fallen superior. The latter were fac ing certain defeat through superiority of numbers when another group of | "arditi" rushing up saved the day. In the meantime the young soldier from Padova whose ruse had started the Austrian retreat was killed.
 Only when victory was completely | won was it discovered that the Aus trian officer with whom Revi was still

DARING EXPLOITS ALL
 OUTDONE BY HEROIC DEEDS
 OF OUR MODERN AVIATORS

A British airman was, on May, 10, 1915, up alone in single scatter ma chine. Sighting a German airplane, he went in pursuit and was soon do- ing his hardest to pump lead into his enemy. Then came the unexpected. While trying to reload his machine gun he lost control of his steering gear. His airplane, taking the bit in it's teeth, as it were, turned upside down. As i'll luck would have it, the belt round the airman's waist hap pened to be loose. The jerk of the machine when it turned completely over almost threw the pilot out; he only saved himself by clutching hold of the rear center strut. His belt had by then slipped down around his legs.
 Thus he hung, head downward, as the airplane whirled down, spinning round and round the while falling like leaf from height of 5000 feet to about 2,500 feet, making frantic ef- forts to free his legs from the belt. At last the pilot managed to disengage himself and reach the control lever with his feet! By a miracle he suc- ceeded in fighting the machine, which completely looping the loop, where upon the airman slid back into his seat. He had been within a three seconds journey of Death!
 The late Capt. John Alden Liddell, V. C., was engaged in July, 1915, in long reconnaissance trip behind the German lines, and had already turned for home when a shrapnel shell burst immediately beneath his airplane smashed part of the body of the ma chine, and shattered the pilots leg. Captain Liddell tainted. The machine was then at height of 1000 feet.

AMERICA SQUARELY BACK
 WAR SAVINGS COMPANY

Imagine, if you can, every man
 woman and child in the United States
 handing Uncle Sam during July two
 dollar bill as an investment of person.
 al savings and as loan to the gov
 ernment in support of the war. That,
 speaking broadly, is one way of vis-
 ualizing the actual results of the War
 Savings Campaign for the month of July when the cash receipts in the Treasury Department from the sale of War Savings and Thrift Stamps sur passed all previous records and totaled
 (for the month only) $211,417,942.61.
 Of course, not every man, woman or child in this country is as yet war saver, but the National War Savings Committee athorizes the conservative estimate that approximately 34,409,- 900 Americans have acquired partner ship with Uncle Sam through the ownership of War Savings and Thrift Stamps. A large majority of this army of War Savers have definitely pledg- ed themselves to save and economize in support of the war, and to invest in War Savings Stamps a definite amount of such savings during the re- mainder of 1918. If you are not pledged war saver, remember that there are approximately one and one- quarter million reasons lover there" why you should enlist in this great army over here.
 Some of the statistics recently re- leased by the National War Savings Committee show in a most illumniat- ing manner the magnitude and the splendid success of the War Savings Campaign to date. For instance, War Saving and Thrift Stamps are on sale at over 275,000 authorized sales agen- cies in this country; while on July 31st there were 116,433 War Savings Societies registered at Washington Headquarters. Also, up t6 and in- cluding July 31st the Treasury De- partment has received in cash from sales of War Savings Securities $518- SIG, 34.03, this representing the pur- chase of War Savings Stamps to value of approximately $624- I'll ,245. And there are still outstand- ing unredeemed pledges for the pur- chase during the last five months of 1918 of War Savings Stamps to to- tai maturity value of over one billion dollars more.
 In few words, these Treasury Re- ceipts mean three things:
 1. An investment by over a third l of the country's population and Thrift | at this time is patriotic achievement.
 2. A loan to the Government in SUD- port of the war.
 8. 4 lessening of competition with the Government for man power and for raw materials.
 The War Savings Campaign has in the few months of it's duration made ! long stride toward educating the American public to the war necessity ,f Thrift, of lessening the normal con- of the things the Govern nent needs to prosecute the war, and t has offered to millions of patriotic a means and an opportu- lity for translating their savings into lid to the fighting men in France.
 In England they have called the War Savings Committee the War Win ling Committee.

While the French aviator, M. Ser gent was flying over Douamount in March, 1916, he was attacked by four Taubes. The machine gun duel was brief. The French machine was struck by hundreds of bullets. Sergent's left arm was injured and hung helpless. The next moment his observer was killed and-here comes the unexpected

his body fell and was pinned be- tween the levers. The position was critical. The airplane was listing dan- gerously, the petrol tank was pierced and the petrol was running out. With his one sound hand Sergent disengag- ed his dead comrade. Then he dived down vertically, resuming a normal position within about 300 feet from the ground.

 "I had given up all hope," wrote the observer. "The earth seemed rushing up to meet us, and I prayed that our agony might not be prolonged. shut my eyes and waited for the final crash; when, wonder of wonders, the machine began to right herself. Hard ly daring to believe my eyes, looked to the pilots seat. The headlong rush through the cool air must have brought him round and he was mak- ing strenuous~efforts to regain con- trol.
 Luckily, the enemy had given us up for lost, had ceased to shoot, and we immediately began to climb again.
 Then the Germans opened fire and we only escaped with our lives through the superb pilotage of Liddell, with one leg shattered and blood flowing in streams. At 5000 feet he again seem- ed to bl sinking. l hastily scrawled note urging him to descend. He read it, shook his head decidedly, turned to me with smile on his drawn face, pointed in the direction of our lines, and carried on. At times he would almost faint, and then re- covering himself redouble his efforts. At last we were over the lines, but it seemed utterly impossible that he should be able to land the machine in his condition. But he did. Choosing a large green meadow about three miles behind. the trenches, he landed as gently and easily as if he had on- ly beeU up for a practice flight, brought the machine to stop and faintedi dead away.
