Pershing's Auto Too
Slou for Rickenbache,

lieutenant eddie" Rickenbacher,
victor in an air fight over the Amer
lean lines in France, resigned as chauf-
feur at the wheel of General Pershing's
automobile because he wanted more
speed, according to his friends here.
He obtained a commission in the avia-
tion service within three months from
the time he left America, for he was
unhappy unless he could move faster
than seventy miles an hour, and Cen
eral Pershing's operations did not re-
quire that his automobile travel so
swiftly.
Rickenbacher, hero Of many thrilling
automobile races in this country and
holder. of a number of motor records
1t the age of thirty, said on the eve
Of Americas entry into the war that
these race drivers would turn airmen.
He was one of the first to fulfil his own
prediction. Shortly after General Per-
shirg reached Europe Rickenbacher fol-
lowed him and offered his services as
chauffeur. The American commander
knew his record and accepted him.
Rickenbacher first came into proml-
hence as a speed driver in 1911, when
he appeared at Indianapolis. In 1914, at
Sioux City, Iowa, he won the 300-mile
speedway race, and afterward made
creditable records at Omaha, Indian
apolis and Providence, and raced also
on the Sheepshead Bay track in New
York.

The Americans are soldiers by

They show themselves too much and

SURVIVORS Relate
Stories of Bravery
And Great Heyois,,,

Sergeant George Miller at marine
recruiting headquarters in Twenty
third Street smothered a yawn as he
answered the telephone shortly before
g o'clock last night An apologetic
voice came over the wire. 1t said:
"This is Rogoff, sergeant. I'm down
at South Ferry"
Now, Ned Rogoff, of 10 White
Street, Springfield, Mass, was one of
a group of twenty-four marines sent
from this city to Southern training
camp the day before on board the
Savannah Line steamship City of
Athens. By rights he should have
been hundreds of miles down the coast.

torted, and was about to administer q
fitting rebuke when Rogoff inter-
rupted:
Honest, didn't miss it. 1t sank on
me-" he said. "Some of the other fell
lows are down here with me. What,]l
we do 2"
Miller told them to repair to head
quarters as quickly as possible, while
he burned the wire to the steamship
pier and the navy yard, to find that the
City of Athens had been in collision
with the French cruiser Gloire ninety
five miles out of New York at 1:10 in
the morning, and had gone down, with
probable loss. of seventy-five men,
women and children, inside of seven
minutes.
Eight Of the marines struggled back
to the recruiting station shortly after
ward. They were dressed in the
queerest collection of uniforms, made
up CT French sailor caps. nondescript
trousers and coats rescued from the
sea. Some wore overcoats, others had
sweaters, still others had neither.
All of the men were dazed from the
shock and bruised from falling spars
and the buffetings of a heavy sea. From
their brief tales was pieced together a
story of heroism in an emergency, cool
headedness and pluck fit to be classed
with the best annals of the sea.
Tried to Save Woman
Rogof, a tall youth of nineteen, said
he was sleeping in ar upper berth,
when his partner, Samuel Ginsberg,
said that he heard a woman crying.
Rogof turned over and went to sleep,
grumbling it was none of his business,
when he was awakened by terrific
