PATRIOTIC SERVICE HELD
AT Y. M. C. A. BUNGALOW
Rev. Charles Schweikert Speaks and
313th Infantry Band Pro-
vides Music.

A patriotic service was held in CO.,
Y. M. c. A bungalow Sunday evening.
at which Rev Charles Schweikert, re-
the Union Avenue Baptist Church of
Paterson. N. j. spoke. The band of the
S13th Infantry furnished the music.
DR.. Schweikert used as text the
fifth verse of the twentieth psalm, "In
the name of our God we will set up
our banners" After speaking Of the
war in which the children of Israel
blended their patriotism and religion.
the speaker referred to the great ban
ner which floats over our nation, which
we have set up in the name of our
God. I'VE who gather here" he said,
love our flag; there is no flag beneath
the blue dome of Heaven so fair to
our eyes or SO dear to our hearts as
the Stars and Stripes.
The American flag will live because
1t Is the symbol of American liberty
and patriotism and the high ideals and
hopes for which the American republic
stands Our flag stands for patriotism,
pure. holy patriotism. like that which
lowered out in the Declaration of indie
pendence. Those men who signed that
famous document were heroes men of
great courage"
DIR. Schweikter then referred to the
principles for which the flag stands,
mentioning civil and religious liberty,
the separation Of church and state and
the recognition of God when the Pill
grims came ad landed on the bleak
New. England coast at Plymouth Rock"
he said. they consecrated this nation
to God, and from the time, this nation
in its cradle was dedicated to God till
the present hour, God has watched
over and protected this country, has
given us unparalleled prosperity. and
has placed us in the forefront of the
powers of the earth. We have nation
today far greater and grander than the
men Of 1776 ever dreamed of. We can
truly say. as the ancient Hebrews said
of Israel. God hath not dealt so with
any nation
'All hail the glorious flag" said DR..
Schweikert in closing. "All hail those
who defended it in the past All hail
those who are defending it now on
land, in the air, on the sea. under the
sea. and across the sea in the trenches.
And all hail those who will defend 1t
In the days to come. From Plymouth
Rock to CALIFORNIA; Golden Gate, from

About seventy-five members of the

within the next few days. This is about
10 per cent of the present enrolment
of the school. All the others are maxi
ing good progress. and it is likely THAT
about go per cent of the candidates

The training has been beneficial to

There is a soldier at Camp Meade
upon whom has been conferred the
French Legion of Honor He Is Edward
base hospital unit here. He received
letter from his mother in New York
yesterday that official announcement by
the French government had been sent
to his home there regarding the honor.
1t is for bravery under fire at the
battle eff the Marine, August, 1915. Yes
terday Carpenter told of the experience
which won him this reward, how, as a
Red Cross ambulance driver, he drove
thirty-flve miles to rescue a French
lieutenant. and how he narrowly es-
capped death in no mans land when the
Germans opened fire with their ma
chine and six-inch guns which tore the
top off the car. The most thrilling part
of the adventure was when, starting to
return, he had to crawl under the ma
chine and crank 1t while on his back,
with bullets hitting so close that they
knocked dust in his face.
Spent Year and Half at Front.
Carpenter went to France in May.
1915. as a member of the American Red
Cross. After a year and a half at the
front as an ambulance driver he re-
turned to New York for a rest. When
the war broke out he enlisted in the
medical department. He has been at
the base hospital at Meade for two
months.
Here is Carpenters story of the
rescue:
ut was one of those dreary days,
rainy and foggy enough to make one
blue, and every one was nagging and
grumbling, even the ambulance engines
seemed contrary. when the order came
for a dozen of us to take our ambu-
lances and go to Toule. Most of us
were hardened to the weather, but none
of US had had to drive under the heavy
guns and we were all on high gear with
excitement.
The road from Pertre to Toule was
nothing but mass of mud holes and
wagon ruts, with ruined dwellings on
either side. AS we neared the forts
the noise of the guns was earsplitting.
To get to our quarters we had to pass
directly In front of the heavy six-inch
guns. Trying to dodge shells and avoid
shell holes-which were from FIVE to
forty feet across-kept me pretty
busy After arriving at our quarters
we were Joined by several of the Amer

closely resembles a Haitien army COM
mana, which boasts, approximately,
ninety officers to one private. One
reason for having so many officers and
