Britain's Indians,

The Indians in the British army on
the western front, notably the Sikhs,
that highly disciplined military force
from British India, have little in COM
o with the American red men. They
come from the other side Of the earth ;
they are son of a deeply religious
sect, and for 80 years or more have
been an important factor in the Brit
Ish dominion of the far East.
They are tall, well-built, handsome
men, most of them with boards, and
in perfection of drill and military bear
ing they are not excelled by any
troops on the western front.
But while their methods If fighting
are quite dissimilar, the Sikh fighting
force being a well-trained military ma
chine while the American Indian is a
flexible unit, there is one thing in
which they are very much alike. AS a
humorous English writer-Punch and
its punsters still live-puts it:
IL have had an opportunity to study
both the Indians of the East and the
Indians of the West, and while they
are very dissimilar in most things,
when it comes to courage, I may be
excused for saying that it is Sikhs Of

Elephants. In Penobscot bay, three
miles from Islesboro, is a little island
known as Mark island, owned by Pres
ton Player, a State street broker of
Boston, and he there maintains a big
summer place. The keeper is Ralph
Collamore of L~incolnville, who in the
winter, with his wife and two children,
makes his home on the island in a lit
tie cottage.
On Wednesday, January %. he took
the boat and started for Islesboro.
Three hours were taken in making
the trip of three miles by water. He
came back and upon landing and pull
ing the boat up onto the shore on
Mark island he pulled the boat over
onto him, pinning him down and break
Ing his leg. His wife kept looking for
her husbands return and finally. at
tracted by his groans, found him
pinned under the boat. She is a frail
woman but with him hanging onto his
injured limb, she managed to drag him
up to the cottage. There with the aid
Of a leather wallet and sticks she set
the leg the best she could. There they
were practically isolated and help was
needed badly.
Mrs. Collamore, full of pluck and de-
termination to get help, went to the
Player summer home. There she man
aged to set agoing the electric dyna-
mo by which the place is lighted. She
turned on every light in that big house
and put on also q red light. The
lights were run all day Thursday and
not until 5:45 Thursday afternoon
was the light noticed at Dark Harbor.
Telephone calls were sent to the naval
station and the tug Zizania started to
Dark Harbor to see what was the
trouble. Dark Harbor was reached
about $3.50 Thursday night. There no
one knew what was the trouble at
Mark island. The Zizania cut her way
through the ice, in some places 8 and
10 inches thick, for three miles to the
island. Captain Sherman and nine
men went ashore. They made their
way to the lighted house and there
found no n Cropping along in the
darkness they were frightened by the
sudden uprising of a flock of turkeys
from a tree. Then they came upon
the cottage in total darkness with the
door open but no signs of life about.

The Kansas City sun. (Kansas City, Mo.) 1908-1924, 1918-08-31

The following account, taken from
the Red Cross Bulletin, makes plain
the way in which the Red Cross of
America is helping the women and
children of France:
The American Red Cross has placed
at the disposal of General Petain, COM
mauder in chief of the French armies.
the sum of 5,650,OOO francs ($1,13O,-
0O0) for distribution among the sick
and "reforme" French soldiers and
their needy families.
1t extends its aid to the repatriated
children coming in conveys from occu-
pied France and Belgium by way of
Evian-les-Bains. Four thousand chill
dren have been examined and nearly
1000 treated at the American Red
Cross hospital where also acute and
contagious cases are treated. More
than 10000 have received ~dispensary
treatment, and those in need of con
valescent care or those suffering from
tuberculosis are sent to the Red Cross
hospital near Lyon. The thousands Of
old folk, women and children without
homes, who leave Evian each week for
the various departments to which they
are designated, find there the repre-
sentatives of the American Red Cross.
There are more than fifty distributed
in fOrty-four departments, who take
part in the work of rehabilitation, sup
plying furniture, clothing, fuel and
food.
In Paris, twenty-six houses for the
lodging of refugees have been turned
owe to the bureau. These will take
care of 700 families, or 1850 indi-
viduals. The Red Cross furnishes the
necessary requisites and in certain
cases advances money to cover the ex-
penses of construction. A refuge of
the American Red Cross at Toul
houses 466 young children and their
mothers who have come out of the
bOmbarded villages, while the means
furnished by the Red Cross have made
possible the opening of a maternity
hospital at Chalons in which 600 ba-
bies have been born since the begin
ming of the war.
