 Saued War Patrol Renlik

Washington, April 2S.-How John Mack enzie, d chief boatswan mate in the ma val reserve. by extraordinary heroism saved the converted yacht Remlik, on patrol service in European waters, was told today in an announcement by Sec retary Daniels that the navy department had awarded Mackenzie the medal of honor and gratuity of s1O0.
 During heavy gale on last December IT, a depth charge weighing several hun dred pounds, broke from it's fastenings at the stern of the Remlik and went sweeping about the deck. The heavy seas washing over the quarter deck made it dangerous for any one to attempt to reach that part of the ship.
 As officers and crew watched the bomb, scme one saw the safety pin fall out of the charge, making it source of serious danger to the vessel and crew. Mackenzie, realizing this danger shout ed, Watch me. III get it." and dashed down the deck, flinging himself upon the charging cylinder
 Three times the daring man almost had his arms about the bomb, but each time the seas tore it from him and once

 ticns by the people of the United States to France and England; his opposition to the entrance of America into the war; hi; open and covert support of the crim- ipal Hans Halle, an alien enemy who manufactured bombs with intent to de- stroy overseas shipping in the port Of New Orleans; his contumacious subscrip- ton of s2.50 to the Y. M. c. A. war fund which he subsequently, increased to s25, although he enjoys the reputation of be- ing the wealthiest man in Louisiana.
 EDENBORN ANSWERS
 Edenborn in letter to a local paper today denounced statements made by speaker at the recent Liberty Loan rally to the effect that go per cent of the Germans born in the United States and 100 per cent of those born in Germany are unfaithfu to this country. "Such talk" he wrote, "is damnable because that kind of talk leads to riot, which any sane person will try to discourage.
 "The United States with it's 105,o0o, Oo0 people should be preparing war navy and merchant navy second to none, and if our government through action by Con- gress would so decide they could get my subscription for quite large amount.
 I believe in the principle of the United States first on land and sea. If l sup port the government by purchase of it's treasury notes in two six-figure lots and by Liberty Bonds and then offer to assist my country to get first place on land and sea-can you find any pro-Ger- man in that?"
 The board of governors of the Pick wick club, at a specially called meeting tonight, adopted resolution expelling Edenborn from the membership of the or ganization because his conduct and statements with reference to the United States and our allies are such as to en- danger the good order, welfare and char acter of the club
 The Pickwick is one of the most ex- elusive of the citys fashionable clubs.
 Edenborn, a naturalized American, was born in Westphalia Prussia, in 1S4S, com ing to the United States in 1867.

Wounded Americans Just From French Battle Front
 To Aid in Loan Campaign
Among the Number of Heroes Back From Front in France Is Homer Whited of Bessemer, Who Has Been
 Awarded the French and American War Crosses

An Atlantic Port, April 2S.-Fifty American soldiers. most of whom have been wounded or gassed. have been brought to this port from France by request of President Wilson to take part in the Liberty Loan campaign, mil itary authorities announced here to- day.
 The party, comprising enlisted men representing all branches of the army and commanded by Regimental Color Sergt John J. Heffernan, arrived here on transport last night sixteen will serve as loan speakers in the New York federal reserve district and the others will be sent to various parts of the country.
 Six of the men wear French war crosses awarded for gallantry in ac- tion and all wear the gold "V'' for foreign service. Many show by in- signia on their right arms that they have been wounded.
 Americans go into battle cheering and waving their hats, said Heffernan, in describing conditions at the Franco American front
 The idea was to put us on quiet sector when We went over first" he said, but the sector did not remain quiet long with the Americans in it. They began fighting the first minute they could and they have been fight ing ever since.
 T remember one detail that was hauling ammunition to the front. We came to a road where we were told that We could not pass, as the Ger mans were shelling it.
 Well, boys, do We want to go over that road? I asked.
 All the men serving the ammunition trucks began to cheer and wave their hats as we dashed up the hill and over the forbidden road. The French pco pie in the town below were all in dugouts.
 We've got a fine lot of boys over there" he continued. Charley Taft President Taft's son, is one of them have seen him under the hardest conditions, acting like the real man he is''
 Heffernan said that the latest trick to which the Germans had resorted was landing spies behind the Franco Aiherlcan line by airplane. The Ger mans he said, would don French uni forms on alighting and would then stroll among the Americans.
 one day an order was given that every man in our vicinity had to have pass he said, adding that "the Ia st German prisoners I saw in France were men who were captured from an air- plane"

it almost crushed him. He stuck to the task, however, and on the fourth at tempt, got a firm grip on the cylinder, heaved it upright on one flat end and held it down by si,.sng on it until lines could be run to him and he and the bomb safely lashed. Soon afterwards the ship was headed up into the sea and the charge was carried to a place of safety.
 The RemliSs commanding officer, in reporting Mackenzes act, said
 Mackenzie, in acting as he did, ex- posed his life and prevented serious ac- cident to the ship and probable loss of life of the ship and entire crew Had this depth charge exploded on the quar- ter deck with the sea and wind that cx- isted at the time, there is no doubt that the ship would have been lost"
 Before the war Mackenzie had served four years in the navy. He is a native Of Massachusetts.

enough to be engaged by the American infantry.
 The Germans have been stripping the bodies of dead French soldiers in other sectors and, wearing these clothes. have come over at the point when the French and American lines join. This method of attack was used during the attack on the Americans at Apremont forest two weeks ago. On that occasion they spoke French and said they had come to assist the Americans, but the ruse was discovered and they were driven off

HOLLAND KNUCKLES
 ID HUN DEMANDS
 DESPITE BRAVERY

London, April 29.--Holland has yielded port and tine supply of sand and gravel, although it is understood that the amount of sand and gravel will be limited in- stead of unlimited, according to dis patch from The Hague to the Daily Mail dated Sunday.
 It is added that a general understand ing will be required from Germany that the sand and gravel will not be used tor military purposes.
 Rumors are current in the Dutch capi- tai, the dispatch adds, that pr John Loudon, minister of foreign affairs, will resign. These, it is said, are based on the suppostion that he could not retain office now that his undertaking respect ing the gravel must be revoked
 In summarizing the situation the dis patch continues, it is felt the crisis with Germany has passed. although the solu- tion is in noWise an ideal one for tIol- land.
 Relations between Holland and Ger many have been at almost breaking point for some days owing to German demands that Holland permit the trans mission over her canals and railways Of sand and gravel from Germany to Bel gium. The controversy was three cornered one, as Great Britain has warned fIolland to take steps to make certain that the sand and gravel would not be used for military purposes. It had been reported that all leaves of ab- sence in the Dutch army and navy had been withdrawn temporarily. German newspapers in harsh terms have con- denned Hollands hesitancy in meeting Berlin's demands.

BEssEMER MAN IN COMPANY

One member of the party was Corp Homer Whited of Bessemer. Ala, who wore the Cross of War for courage dis played in a raid. Perhaps the youngest returned soldier was Langhorne Barbour of Chatham, Va, who gave his age as r.
 Another member of Sergeant Heffer- mans party was a 19-year-old boy, Corp Osborne Dc Varilla of San Francisco, an artilleryman, who, his companions claimed was the first American to lire shot at the GeTmans last October.
 His battery took it's place behind lit- tie town under cover of darkness, plant
 ing it's guns on a slope which had been previously camouflaged.
 De Varilla's gun was aimed at com municating trench in the erman front line and when Capt. I. R. McLendon gave the word to the gun crew, IS pounds of shrapnei went screaming over 400 yards of No Mans Land.
 q felt nervous as that old shell went sailing over the hill De Varllla ad- mltted.
 "When the Germans began to ire back we got some real thrills. ] didn't nave time to think what it would mean it their gunners got our range and l guess the other men felt about the same way Nobody seemed to be nervous The corporal said the Germans made the first raid in his sector on October 31 and that it was after this raid that the body of an American soldier was found in front of the wire Wth hls throat cut from ear to ear. Private John Mccormick, another mem ber of the party had many thrills dur ing his first day in the trenches. A Ger man shell hit q dugout in which he had taken cover with 9 companions. When the dugout caved in, only Mccormick and two others were alive and when they were finally released they had to remain in the front trench, as the Germans were laying down a barrage. When the heavy fire continued. McCor- mick volunteered to run through the rain of shells to get food for his com rades Disappearing he returned later bearing a can of stew.

'The Americans had always said that when they got the Boches, they would give them bad treatment" he added, but as a mater of fact, whenever we captured Germans, we treated them with the greatest kindness. We even stole chow to feed them, and gave them tobacco and the best of every thing we had.
 The officers we captured were al- ways bull-headed, and would not give information, but the German prlvatcs were sick of war and told us that they wished they were out of it. They look for it to end in revolution in Germany after America gets into the war, but they don't believe we are in 1t yet.
 Heffernan drew a gloomy picture of what the agriculturists in France will encounter after the war, asserting that there are many unexploded shells in the fields and the farmer who blows them, won't find his life worth any thing"
