INDIAN PLUME.

The Indian Plume is also known as
Oswego Tea and among the common
people as Horse Mint.
An Indian maiden living near Lake
Saranac, loved a brave whose straight

the chase had caused him to be named
The Arrow, and she was beloved by
the brave. Before the day arrived
which was set for the wedding a
fearful pestilence appeared and raw

The losses appeared to be excessive
and the report spread that they caught

Bossut while leading an, assault with
one OF the cars created a profound
impression.

May 1918. the light tanks" made
their appearance on the battlefield in

to the defense Of the forest of villers-

their rush between scissors and
Rheims. During the first fifteen days
OF June they made more than twenty
counter attacks and kept the forest
