climbed back into my machine to the
tune of bullets and took out load Of
over 300 cartridges, threw them on the
ground and then removed my compass
and altimeter.
"The first thing l struck was grave,
unfinished, with two Of the enemy in
1t. 1 eased myself down into 1t, lifted
up one of the Germans and put the
cartridges beneath him. l started
walking back to my machine. AS l
got near 1t the Boche lines started
their mitrailleurs and rifles at me, and
the French, unaware that / was one Of
them. also opened up. had to walk
800 feet between the lines and 1t was
no Joke with all that fire concentrated
in my direction. One bullet passed so
close to my face that really felt the
wind. l decided that I'd have to go to
one of the lines, enemy or friend, but

1 looked up and saw white puffs break
ing out all around it.
Signaled With Handkerchief.
"On the way the fire got so hot /
had to fall face down, and didn't
move for, guess, five minutes. There
being no good reason for my being
shot like a dog, yanked out my hand
kerchief and waved it at the French
lines.
"They finally got it, after ten min
utes Of waving, and / saw French
officer beckoning me from a bit Of
woods. If there ever has been a faster
5O-yard sprint 1 never heard of it. I
ran so fast that l ran right into the
officer, and very nearly knocked his re-
volver out of his hand. 1 showed him
my Identification card and then started
cursing him for shooting at me. He
had been taking potshots at me out
there. He apolOgized, saying that he
could only see my head, because his
position was slightly lower than No
Mans Land.
"They took me up to the divisional
general, and reported that had seen
more than 300 dead Germans and only
two Frenchmen. 1t made him so happy
that he gave me dinner, and compli-
mented me for being a good soldier"

Money Furnishes
the Punch

After all, money forms the
sinews of war" declared Cen
eral Foch several months age
in discussing the situation and
outlook along the Flanders
front when things looked dark,
est. HIS army was fighting
tooth and nail then, hitting hard
and stepping back, parrying a
thrust and darting in to deliver
a counter punch, and all the
while taking heavy toll Of the
Germans. But he was looking
ahead even then.
He knew, as well as other
great generals that preceded
him, that after all is said and
done, money, which in this sense
means the supplies that money
can be made to furnish, gives
an army its punch. That money
is absolutely, imperatively nee
essary to win any big, long
drawn out war. Without money
the things money will buy
any army will go topjeces soon
er or later, 1t has been eXem-
plifed over and over again.
An army may be ever so we'll
trained; it's morale at the outset
may be ever so good; it may
have the advantage Of position
and weapons of warfare, but
unless it is kept supplied with
all that is necessary for the
waging of war, the actual fight
ing, even to the hand-tO. hand
struggle, it will weaken sooner
or later 1t must have arms,
ammunition, food and clothing
sufficient to make it effective,
and have them all the time.
No army fights well on an
empty stomach if the fight is
much prolonged. No army can
withstand continued attack if it
lacks ammunition. No army can
stand winter trench service in
adequately clothed. 1t may meet
with reverses and yet came back
and fight valiantly. The Italians
did this. The French did it.
The English did it. Frequently
a temporary reverse spurs to
greater effort, greater gallantry,
greater execution.
But this doesn't apply to an
army that has lost its punch.
Witness the Russians.
Americas forces have gone
abroad full of vim, vigor and
fighting spirit They have held
up their end valiantly. They
are making good to the conster-
nation of Germany and the ad
miration of their allies. They
will uphold American tradition
if we at home maintain our end
of the problem.
And that is to furnish the
money properly to supply their
needs. To maintain the army
punch.
It's up to us individually and
and collectively. It's our duty
to prepare to do our part to the
last man. It's up to US to get
ready for the next Liberty Loan.

WAVED SIGNAL TO French
BY Fast Running Sergeant Baueham
Reaches Comrades in Safety-Is
Rewarded With Military Med
al by the French.

WaShingtOn.-Flight Sergeant James
II. Baugham Of Washington, who was
transferred from the Lafayette esca-
drilIe to the Paris Air Defense squad
ron, has been reported a prisoner in
unofficial advices to his mother, Mrs.
Mary A. Baugham, president of the
Dixie Agricultural company of Wash
ington. Sergeant Baugham joined the
Lafayette esCadrille in 1917 when he
was eighteen years old and won the
Military medal, the highest French
honor to noncOmmissiOned men.
The incident that earned the SER
geant the medal was described in a let
ter he wrote recently. Paying tribute
to the wonderful spirit of his French
comrades, Sergeant Baugham said:
"We had been sent out to patrol
back Of the German lines and to at
tack anything enemy we saw. Having
incendiary balls in my gun, I was pre-
pared to attack q German Sausage
or observatory balloon. Just as l was
beginning the descent to attack, / saw
4 Boche airplane going in the direction
of our lines to do Photographic work.
I put on full speed and signaled to the
other planes to follow. They evident
~ did not see my signal, for they
didn't go down with me. When l got
100 meters from the BOche / started
firing. The enemy replied by turning
loose both guns at me. l must have
got him, however, with the first blast,
for when pulled up to make another
dive he was silent.
"Then something happened that
would make the coolest man on earth
cuss, and as / am not one of the best,
you can imagine that left little un-
said. My motor stopped absolutely
dead. There was only one thing for me
to do and that was to dive, lose the
Boche and try to volplane to. the
French lines. AS l went past the Ger
man machine it Immediately came
down and, putting some nice steel very
close to him, l did all the acrobacy l
had ever learned. When l had finished
l found that I had come down from
lO,UOU 10 l,UUU lGGL anu IllCIS was liz
Boche in sight.
Alone in No Mans Land.
81 then looked around for place to
land. 1 saw a fairly good place off to
the right and made it. then stepped
out of the machine-right on the face
of a dead German. 1t took me a min
ute to realize what was happening and
1 awolze to the sound of bullets whiz-
zing past my head. That didn't disturb
me much, because l was wondering
why somebody hadn't buried the Ger
man. Looking around, however, all L
could see was dead Germans. 1t sud
denly dawned on me that / was In NO
Mans Land. OF all the places there
are to land in France and Germany L
had to land between the two.
"Then realized what predicament
1 was in and began to think up some
way to get out Of it. The thought came
to me that if I was nearer the German
lines than to the French, l had better
get rid of those iucendiary balls in my
pocket, for if the Germans catch you
with them you are shot at once. l
