Clifford Walker is serving Uncle Sam
by making speeches for the Liberty

Near Luneville, March 20.-He was a
sergeant from New York, and his
bunkies will tell you he was one of
the gamest men the army ever saw.

ton he occupied all day long. He had
taken refuge in a dugout. 1t was hit
by shell and he was buried in the
debris The Smelling continued so hot
his mates did not dare to rescue him.
Twenty -four hours later with pick and
shovel flying the found him.
To the surprise of everyone the
sergeant was still alive He had been
extricated down to the waist, his legs
still being held fast in the dirt and
concreate. The mud was wiped from
his face and he was given a drink OF
water. His rescuers were hurrying
up with more shovels and digging
frantically to free him. He opeend
his eyes.
alright boys, don't worry on my
account and don't expose yourselves
he said. 81 guess I'm not hurt, ana
you don't want to take any chances"
Just then another shell broke. A
ton of earth caved in-with the SER
geant beneath it. It is his grave.

young fellows who recently bur-
glaried stores were given a chance to
turn over new leaf when they en-
tered pleas of guilty in Superior court
yesterday before Judge Ben H. Hill.
He sentenced them to serve twelve
months each on the changing, then
gave them some good advice on the
nations need for men of honesty,
character and high purpose, and offer
ed to suspend sentence If they would
promise to behave themselves in the
future and make regular reports to the
probation officer. This disposition Of
their cases was entirely satisfactory
to the solicitor general and the owners
Of the cars and stores which had suf-
fered by their thieyery, and the boys
sOlmenly promised the judge that they
would not give him any trouble again.

LOYAL RUSSIANS WOULD
FIGHT IN ALLIED RANKS

YOKOHOMA, March Possibly
none of the many tragedies which has
befallen Russia in the past year is
more pitiful than the plight Of the pa
triotic and loyal officers of what was
once the Russian army. Stripped Of
their rank, robbed of their resources,
in danger from their own men, yet
unfit for anything save the military
career to which they have turned their
lives, thousands of these officers re-
main loyal to the Allied cause.
Many of them, in hte last few
months, have arrived in Yokohama
from Hardin and Vladivostok on their
way to America, where they have
hoped to gain admittance to the forces
serving under the Stars and Stripes.
Others, having lodged the searching
Red Guards, slip into the ports Of
the China coast, remove their dis
guise and with the money they have
realized from the sale of their personal
belongings, attempt to get passage
through Suez to Italy or France, where
they believe they can be of service to
the Allies.
Not day passes, but what these
patriots may be seen in the streets OF
Yokohama, some in their frayed uni
forms, others in soiled civilian
clothes. They generally journey to
Togo for an interview with the Am
erican military attaehe, who, however,
is not able to promise them great
deal. Some, who speak French, are
offered positions as interpreters, 9TH
ers, particularly ayiators, are told the
United States may employ them as
Instructors.
According to the reports brought
here, hundreds Of these officers are in
gladivostok awaiting chance to get
