The heroism of the American SOL
dier. drawn from civilian ranks and
unused to the horrors of war. is told
in the following story. written by q
well known author on the spot.
They were coming back out Of the
hot blast of the great battle-those
boys of a certain division now famous
through France. They were not COM
ing back because they wanted to. nor
because they had had enough of 1T:
they were being brought back on
stretchers, wounded, gassed and
shell-shocked, to an advanced dress
ing station.
Some of them seemed just boys.
One could see them grit their teeth
to hold back the means. of pain.
Hard luck, pail! said a doctor. as
the bearers set down a stretcher in
the courtyard. The boy shrugged
his shoulders, bundled up in the
stretcher and grinned wanly.

Here Are Men"
That was one boy. He belonged to
an outfit that bears a name far and
wide for being boiled hard Tough
birds. you hear them called: rough
boys with the crust uppermost.
Hard boiled, you would have

a new meaning In spite of blood
and CRIME and the discoloration and
burn of gas. you could still see that
something was present there which
had been absent before.
''Fgot mine. No use-sport. Can't
do nothin' for-me. Git busy with
some of them boys-you kin help"
That was the spirit. That was the
thing that had been burned into their
souls by the hot breath of war.
Not Room for All.
The dressing station was small and
many must lie outside. until the men
who were first taken in could be evac-
uated. You could hear CHEEKY, gritty
words:
"How's Charlie maxim .it?'
They just took Charlie in He

DR.. HAM DEMANDS REMOVAL
OF ATLANTA'S FUEL
ADMINISTRATORS

Atlanta, Ga, Jan. l2.-Dr. J. w.
Ham, pastor of the Baptist Taber-
nacvle of this city, whose fight for
relief in the coal situation has Great
ed the biggest sensation in weeks,
yesterday afternoon took a new and
still more sensational turn by tele-
graphing to DR.. Harry Garfield, Fed
eral Fuel Administrator in Washing
ton, demand for the removal of
Henry B. Kennedy, Federal Fuel Ad-
ministrator in Atlanta.
In this telegram DR.. Ham made
these charges, among others:
That Kennedy will not cooperate
with him or anyone else who has the
money to relieve the situation; that
Kennedy has not visited either the
coal yards or the railroad yards to
find out for himself whether Atlanta
coal dealers were concealing coal to
create shortage and therby force
the people to pay for hauling; that
Kennedy is diverting SO cars of coal
day to corporations, while thousands
OF families are allowed to suffer; that
Kennedy is further incapacited by his
own admission that he owns fifteen
shares of stock in one of the large
Atlanta coal companies.
When Administrator Kennedy
learned of the charges contained in
DR.. Hams telegram to the Fuel Ad-
ministration in Washington he i'm
mediately telegraphed a denial that
he was diverting coal to corporations
and demanding full and complete
investigation.
