COURAGEOUS RAIDERS RESCUE
WOUNDED UNDER HEAVY FIRE
Corporal and Private Of U. S. Marines
Awarded French War Gross for
Devotion to Comrades.

rage. falling on the fatal spot they
had abandoned. wrought complete de-
struction there.
Corp. Winchenbaugh and Private
Sands wear now the French war cross
with palm for their courage and de-
votion on the night Of that daring
raid.
Corp. winchenbaugh and Private
Sands are U. s. marines: so was Lieut..
Sundval; so were all the rest of them.
It was simply one instance of the
pluck of the U. s. Marine Corps and
Of the service they are giving their
country.
The recruiting drive now in prog
ress gives to thousands of men who
are btween the ages Of eighteen and
thirty-six years the opportunity Of
enlisting in the y. 8. marines. Those
who are under the age of registra-
tion for selective draft are free to
enter the Marine Corps at once; those
who are within the registration limits
may apply to the local boards for
the requisite permission. And those
who are accepted will have the dis
tinction Of belonging to the corps
for which Gen. Pershing made
special request Of two brigades for
service on the front in France.
Has Chance to Be Officer.
No man who Joins the U. s. marines
now need reconcile himself to the
rank of private If he has the stuff
in him that is the makings of an
officer. The U. S. marines. in 1914
numbering only 10000. had their
number raised last year by Congress
to 10000, and this year. when the
Importance of their all-round skill and
effectiveness was appreciated, to 75,-
500. That means more officers. plenty
of the U. s. Marine Corps is that no
man shall become an officer unless
he has first served as q private. In
May. there were 500 Of the U. 8.
marines at the officers camp at Guam
tico. in Virginia, working for promo
ton; but that left I 500 commissions
still to be won. And every year 100
enlisted men are picked from the
U. S. Navy and the U. S. Marine Corps
by competitive examination to go to
the Naval Academy at Annapolis, for
education rs officers. with commits
sions either in the Marine Corps or
the Navy. Even in the non-commis-
stoned grades. promotions offer fine
chances to the man with ambition,
for he can become a warrant officer
quartermaster clerk, with his salary
ranging upward from $1,125 to $500
q year.
The corps also affords opportunity
for aviators-for men who can be
trained to do the air fighting which
is to add another distinguishing mark
to the all-round qualifications for
which the U. s. marines are SO ia
nous.

The little party of raiders. under
Lieut.. A L. Sundval, from Minneapolis,
was.in no mans land south of verdun,
more than 500 yards from the Ameri-
can lines and no more than 80 feet
from the German wire. 1t was well
past midnight. They were on a still
hunt for seven Huns who had been
seen lurking in a group Of trees.
There came cultural call from the
blackness Of the night. It was fol-
lowed by volley from force of two
score Germans who fired almost in the
faces of the men of the patrol.
Quick as the Americans were in
fiinging themselves fiat on the ground,
Lieut. Sundva1 received three bullets
Elmore Butler from Athens, In Geor-
gia. a sergeant, and Ray Haseltine
from Detroit, a private, were wound
ed. The Germans behind the wire
poured. in a furious hail Of bullets.
There was no one to give an order
such an order as could be given and
transmitted to the scattered men of
the patrol in the darkness; yet all of
them knew that the order, could it be
given. would be to wriggle back out
of that death trap.
Knew They Had Been Hit.
But two men of the Americans knew
that those nearest them had been hit.
Corp. Winchenbaugh from Boston lay
prone, dattened to the earth. wait
ing for the volleys to die down. He
was a slender lad of twenty, tough
ened into steel wire by his training
and cool as the steel in a bayonet.
Kenneth c. Sands. q private from
Baden. In Pennsylvania. on the other
hand. was alternately firing back at
the Huns with his automatic and try
ing to help one or another Of the
wounded men to retreat.
There came a lull in the firing. dur
Ing which Corp. Winchenbaugh left
his position and reached the side of
Lieut.. Sundval, helpless and weighing
nearly 200 pounds. The corporal grip
ped him and began to drag him back
toward the American lines. The task,
almost superhuman, went on until he
had covered rs yards of the distance,
Then, on the crest of a little rise in
the ground, the Germans saw their
outlines and concentrated their fire
upon the wounded lieutenant and his
rescuer. But Winchenbaugh did not
finch. He passed the crest, and on
Its further side had a partial shelter.

SHORTAGE Of LABOR
HITS MINING OF COAL
Operators Appeal to Federal Ofiicials
Here for Relief--situation Grow
ing Grave.

Shortage OF labor and thetnew draft
are seriously affecting the mining of
coal according to the information Of
the fuel administration. The anthra-
cite industry especially has been hard
hit in this respect. So great has been
the depletion in it's mine working
force that the situation is declared
10 he growing grave and hurry call
has been sent TO the United States
department of labor TO do something
to relieve the shortage.
With the industry so short hand

the other hand there is plenty of an
thracite coal in the ground. L is
wanted in cellars and coal bins and
storage yards to be ready to feed in
to millions OF fires. but the operators
contend they are becoming practi-
cally helpless to meet the situation
and declare the assistance OF the de-
partment of labor is most urgent at
this time.
Before the war there were $4,000
mine workers In the anthracite in
dustry. The number has been drawn
down to about $4,000 now 1t is
claimed by the operators that but for
the highly developed facilities now
employed in mining and preparation
of the coal the present output would
be still less.

Car Rides
Sold Be-
low Cost
All 2la-Cent Car Fares Repre-
sent Loss to the Company
and Mean Less Service to
Patrons.

The old franchises of 20 years ago
require the company to carry school
children and all passengers riding be-
fore o'clock in the morning on II
cent fares.
II would be time wasted to hunt for
the reason for this provision. There
never was any warrant for II before
the war and certainly there is none
now.
The patrons who ride to work before
o'clock in the morning are making
more money today than. ever before
certainly more than the clerical men
and women--and il costs the company
lust as much to haul the $50 or A.
Nj. patrons as it does the A, NJ. or
the 6 p. NJ crowds.
In fact. because the early morning
service makes the jobs OF conductors
and motormen less desirable, more
anxiety la thrown on the companys
organization in getting crews for these
early cars than for any other period of
the day. Yet the company hauls them
for fares below the cost OF rendering
the service.
Where Ia there another enterprise
which is rendering service below cost,
especially now in these war times
But that is not all, On these II
cent fares the company pays tax to
the Citv and to the State. Again. is
that fair?
Is IT fair to the patrons who ride
throughout the day that those who
ride before A. NJ should get the SER
vice below COST
Should the street railway service of
the entire community be handicapped
by their drain on the company's re-
sources before 7 A. NJ:
II is believed that those patrons
who ride on 2 u -cent fares are willing
to give up that privilege. especially
In these times, when the above facts
are brought to their attention.
