AMERICAN HEROESM
nv A GAS ATTACK

The writer's of fiction in years to
come will have O hard task In out
doing the cold facts Of adventure In
the greatest war. A case in point
occurred in the last heavy lighting ON
the western front. No mel0drRma
ever excelled it.
A colonel, who has been known
for years In the American army 90 On
expert artilleryman. was making the
rounds Of his battery under heavy
shell fire and gas attack. He wore
his gas mask, but in the MIDST OF his
tour of inspection detected the o00r
Of the deadly fumes. Putting his
hand to his head, he found that un-
known to him Q piece OF shell had
torn o hole in the mask. SO he held
his hand over the rent and walked
back to the headquarters dugOut.
occupied by his stan.
In the semi-darkn ass Of the dug
out he found his staff officers. All
wore their masks. The gas was just
beginning to work it, way into the
room. Lifting his gas mask. the colo
mel asked II there was an extra mask
in the place. None could be found.
One of the officers Immediately re-
moved his mask and insisted that
the colonel take it. The command
Ing ofiicer refused, and with an oath
told the officer to take orders" At
that every officer in the room took
of his mask. One of them said:
"Sir, your life is worth more than
ours, not only because you are the
commandant of this regiment but be-
cause you are an expert end Of great
value to the service. If you do not
accept one of our masks we will not
wear any"
The gas was beginning to pene-
trate more rapidly into the hut. At
this critical juncture q young lieuten-
ant, "the kid Of the outfit" remem-
bered that there had been an extra
gas mask in a motorcycle kit in the
stables, far to the rear Of the head
quarters hut. He crawled through
the shell FIRE to the place and man
aged to return alive to the hut.
The colonel quickly adjusted the
extra mask to his head and started
out again on his tour Of inspection.
An hour later he was in the regi-
mental hospital, suffering from she'll
shock, but that was q mere detail to
his mind. The American batteries
had "cut up the Huns 50 that the
advance Of the infantry was possible.

THE BIG QUESTION

The men had been rather slow in
getting into formations So one even
ing, before chow, the sergeant eatA
his company q lengthy lecture, en-
phasizing the fact that in the future
the men must be more prompt in fall
ing In. He talked on one subject and
then another. Other companies were
marching to the mess hall, and his
own men were becoming restless and
impatient. Finally lie wound up by
asking:
Nov lie everything clear? Does
anyone want to ask q question:"
There was moment OF silence.
then o tall, lean Southefher in the
rear rank opened his vocal apparatus,
and yelled in an attenuated voice:
"Yeh. when do we eat?"-JadeA.

Government will Help All Disabled Men
To Find Profitable Employment

The United States Government
plans to put every disabled soldier
and sailor in a good job. The mes
sage of how this seemingly impossible
feat 10 to be accomplished is of in
terest to every man In the service.
The plan 10 80 soundly practical that
every man in uniform who has not
been disabled through disease, in
Jury, or in any way will be anxious
to see that his more unfortunate
friends do not fail to take advantage
Of tho opportunity offered.
Through the Vocational Rehabili-
tation Law, passed unanimously by
Congress, and under the Jurisdiction
Of the Federal Board for Vocational
Education, the Government plans to
do more for its disabled men In this
war than any other nation OF all
times. The disabled man IL he 30
chooses will be given vocational
training necessary to restore his self
supporting activity; he will be
trained to become efficient in q chos-
en- occupation, in spite OF his handi-
caps.
All expense Of providing education
and training will be borne by the
Government. While the disabled
man is taking training his personal
expenses will be paid, and such al
lowances will be paid his dependents
as were received by him while he was
in active service.
Each disabled man may be placed
in o good job, either in his former
occupation or a new one, by the Fed
eral Board. Whether he wishes TO
undertake special training or not,
each man who is entitled to compen-
Sation under the War Risk Insurance
Law, may take advantage of the Of
fer to be placed In a job by this
Board. After he actually goes to
work on his own account, his inter-
ests will be safeguarded by the Gov
eminent under the jurisdiction Of
the Federal Board.
The case of each man, who Is en-
titled to compensation, will be con-
sidered with q personal interest by
expert representatives Of the Federal
Board. 1t is, however, for each man
to determine whether or not he
wishes to avail himself of the liberal
Government offer.
In dealing with the disabled men
| the Board will treat him throughout
as o civilian. He will be given ad-
vice and assistance in choosing his
course OF training. Every effort viii
be made to train and place him in the
occupation in which he Is most inter
ested, preferably his former occupa
ton, providing it is neither waning
Trench and camp. ([Admiral, Md.) 1917-1919, 1918-12-26

nor overcrowded. His handicaps will
be carefully considered, and the .oc-
cupation in which he is likely to meet
with success will be chosen. He may
be trained for an entirely new trade,
II such course 10 deemed advisable
after full consideration.
Training will not be restricted to
any specific vocati0ns, but courses
will be given in any branch Of agri-
culture, commerce, industry or the
professions as may be determined by
the disabled man and the Federal
Board. Existing facilities, public
and private, whether in schools, COL
leges or industrial plants will be
utilised In giving instruction and
training.
The length Of q mans training will
depend upon his ability and previous
training. 90 well % upon the nature
Of his handicaps. His earnings, eth
er while he is in training or In per-
maneht employment will not In any
way affect the War Risk Insurance to
which he 10 entitled.
After o man has satisfactorily
completed his course in training, as
provided by the Federal Board, he
will be placed in trial employment in
the occupation for which he has been
trained.
Later he will be placed in DEFINITE
job, which is to be chosen jointly by
the Federal Board and the disabled
man. At this time, the Government
will cease to pay his expenses, but
will begin payment of his War Risk
Insurance compensation. The Fed
eral Board will follow up his work to
see that he makes good and gets o
square deal. This supervision will
continue 80 long as necessary for his
full re-estAblishment as q worker. In
the cases where q man fails to do his
work efficiently, even after training,
he may go back to the Federal Board
for more training, or il deemed ad-
viSable may then be trained for q
new occupation.
It is OF special interest that the
Governments offer is extended to
every man entitled to compensation
without regard to how or where he
was disabled, whether in this coun-
| try or abroad. The man who is phys
ically able to return to his former
occupation, will be given training, II
he 80 elects, the same as any othef
disabled man.
Complete information about the
Governments plans for re-educatine
and replacing the disabled men may
be obtained by addressing inquiries
to the Federal Board for Vocational
Education, Washington, D. C.

WOULD ELIMINATE NICKNAN1ES,

The Department OF the interior,
Bureau Of Education, is trying to dis
courage the use of nick-names espe-
cially designating certain classes Of
foreign-bOrn Americans.
"Dago," "Kike," "Wop," "Greas-
err" mick" Paddy" "Sheeny,"
Spaghetti" and similar names make
no hit with the Bureau of Education,
which maintains that such dfstinc-
tons tend to promote lines of cleav-
age between American born and
