He tells of his experience as an
ambulance driver in the following
manner:
Carrying wounded in France is an
exciting job when the German shells
begin to burst around you.
I'm making a trip one day a Boche
sausage balloon spotted US. Then as
pretty a shell as you ever heard came
with a scream and landed just beyond
US; just minute or so later another
came and landed Just back of us.
I knew they had our range and
that it was time to be going if we
were to go. so l threw all the power
could into the machine, and all
though 1 could not see the road, l
trusted to luck and raced forward to
safety"
Before enlisting for foreign service,
young Hardie was well known among
athletic circles. He was connected

pany.

SONGS AT HUMPHREYS
INSPIRE TO VICTORY
Soldiers Voices Need Aid Of Pianos
in Mess Halls.

In training its soldiers for the
work of destroying Germans. Camp
Humphreys has added a rife prac-
tee and drill. instruction ia sing
lag.
1t seems strange that songs should
help to win the war. but the long
experience of the European com
batants has proved that singing is
the greatest single means Of rails
ing morale 1t is true that man
sings when he is happy. 1t is
euuSlly true that a man is happy
when he sings. That is in line with
the old maxim that il you make
yourself smile when you are blue
YOU will soon feel like smiling
again.
So tho office OF training camp ac-
tivities has gone about the matter
in the most sweeping way. 1t is
planned to put a piano in every one
Of tho mess halls in Camp Humph-
rcys and each evening there will be
competent instructors to get the
boys together and conduct their
concerts.
II you looked in at one OF those
assemblies it would seem a most
unmIitary scene. The men are
happy. Their chins are up and
their eyes are bright and they put
rouse into every chorus. Ger
tainly this seems far divorced from
war work.
Rut if you were in France and
saw a column of Yanks swinging
down the road that leads to Berlin
and heard the laundering chorus
Of the song that puts the jaunty
swing into their strides you would
heCin to understand just why sing
ing may he another way of spelling
''Viclrry."
II is q big job to get enough
pianos donated so that there will be
ono n each of the mess halls Here
is a place where you can do your bit
and do it in a big way. II you can
furnish piano OF any sort to the
camp you will be giving happiness
/" 200 or 300 men every night as
Eng as the war lasts and you will
know that the songs they sang

CALLS M'LEAN
CHARGES TRUE
Mrs. Dewey Alleges Mis-
representation in New
Answer to Suit.

Charges of Misrepresentation
which have been brought against
the late John r. Mclean regard
ing certain mining interests which
he managed, as trustee and co-heir
for his mother and two sisters, are
alleged to be true in a substitute
answer filed in the District Supreme
court yesterday by his sister, Mrs.
Mildred Mclean Dewey, widow of
Admiral George Dewey.
The suit that is now pending was
brought by Frederick H. Bugher,
nephew of John r. Mclean. shortly
after the death of the latter,
against the American Security and
Trust Company. which is trustee
for the estate, the bulk of which
was left to Edward B. Mclean, the
son of John r. Mclean
The bill of complaint was filed
after the death of my brother. John
r. Mclean" Mrs. Dewey states in
her substitute answer. 81 was
deeply attached to him and was
greatly grieved at his death. 1 did
not at that time believe he was
capable OF deceiving me on any
matter, and my faith in his in
tegrity was explicit. The mining
property was owned by John r.
Mclean, myself, and the plaintiffs
mother in equal proportions. My
brother always referred to the
property as being the source of
expense and little value. When the
complaint was fled charging my
brother with fradulently misrepre-
scnting the condition and value OF
the property, I did not believe the
charges
within the last few weeks
have received information which
convinces me that the charges OF
MISREPRESENTATION are justified by
the facts"
Mrs. Dewey withdrew her former
answer filed March 9. 1917, in which
as one of the defendants in the suit
she denied the charges of misrep-
resentatiOn of the estate, and in
the substitute answer she admits
all of the allegations made by the
plaintiff.
