TANKS USED AS SHIELDS
Huns Take Refuge Behind Damaged
Monsters, But Are Driven Out
by Yanks.

Paris.-Damaged tanks, abandoned
by the French when the Germans
made their late spring drive, were
used as shields behind which German
machine gunners opposed the Ameri-
Gems at various points between Fismes
ana scissors. according to Corp. Royal
Thurver of Reedsburg, Wis.
'"They got behind these old up
turned tanks, a number of which I
sew, and tried to hold us up after we
crossed the Vesle," said Thurver.
But. of course, ii was only a ques-
ton of time until we worked our way
around them and then the German
machine gunners decided they were
through with the war, They invaria-
bly, surrendered"
Thurver was shot in the chest and
arm from a machine gun behind n
of the tanks.

WOMAN SHERIFF MAKES GOOD
When She Goes After an Offender,
He Had Better Surrender
Peacefully.

Coleman, Tex.-Mrs. John r. Ban
mister is the new sheriff of Coleman
county. All who know her say that
when she buckles on her six-shooter
and goes out to make an arrest the of.
fender had better make peaceful sur
render if he knows what is good for
him. 1t is not meant by this that Mrs.
Bannister is a woman Of the rough
man type-on the contrary she Is un.
assuming, quiet and prepossessing In
looks. The sun and substance of Ii
is that she belongs to a stock of west
erners hat does not know what fear
is when 1t comes to fulfilling what she
believes to be her official duty.
Mrs. Bannister's husband, Captain
Bannister, who died recently, was sher-
if of Coleman county for many years.
His wife assisted him In his work in
many ways and is said to be thorough
ly familiar with the details of the Of
flee. 1t was but natural that she
should be elevated to the vacant posi-
ton, her friends say.

LABRADOR FISHERY IS SHORT
Only $4,000 ouintaIs Are Expected

in q Good Year.

st. Johns, ". F.-The Labrador fish
ry, one of the principal branches Of
he Newfoundland cod fishery indus
~, threatens to be very short this
a The fish are shipped direct from
he coast to European countries, main.
Y Portugal, Spain, Italy and Greece,
nd very high prices are obtained now
days, virtually double the figures rul
ng before the war started. The Lab
ador fishery of Newfoundland has not
a late years attained the same pro-
ortions as formerly when some 10000
her folk, men, women and children,
igrated there every summer for the
shing season, and the catch In some
airs reached 100000 qulntals. A good
ason at present would represent half
lese figures, whereas the outlook just
0w Is that for the 10000 or 1900
eople engaged, not more than $4,000
Gintals will be obtained.

BELITTLES DEED
Doesn't Think Much of Act That
Won Cross.
All He Did Was Swim River Under
Fire and Rescue Wounded
Frenchman.

Pittsburgh.-"Now listen, get me I
There's been so much hot air about
this hero stuff that l want you to get
1t straight. / saw this French bird
across the river and / went and got
him. II l hadn't someone else probably
would have taken the same chance"
In these words Capt. Walter r.
Flannery, who was awarded the Cross
of War for swimming the Marine river
and %rescuing a wounded French sol
der at the time the Germans held the
Aisne-Marne salient, disposes Of any
attempt to make a hero of him for the
deed. At the time Flannery was a lieu
tenant. He is at his home here ON a
furlough.
The wounded man lay on the bank
across the river from where the
Americans were stationed at Savigny.
Disregarding a French officers warn
ing that 1t probably was a ruse to at
tract Americans over that the Huns
might learn what division opposed
them, Flannery waited until nightfall,
when he stripped to his underclothing
and swan across. The Germans
spotted him and most of the trip was
under water. Flannery tells the rest
of the story as follows:
when | got over l found the man.
All the French l knew was lei, ici'-
here, here'-and then the bird went
hysterical and refused to come into
the water. He was too weak to tie

wasn't much of a conversation, for /

the sword, pinned this on me-the
CrOix de Guerre-and started kissing
me. Say, that mustache tickled me
from ear to ear. I'm of saving men

London.-A contingent Of II Ameri-

gagement. This chaser squadron eff
fectively acted as a screen around the
big ships engaged In the bombardment

The Americans wer- under heavy fire,
but had no casualties.
Capt. G. Z. Nelson and Lieut.. Com.
p. II. Bastedo commanded the squad

end men were of the naval reserve
and reports of the operation praise
their work highly.
The Americans definitely sank one
submarine and damaged and probably
destroyed another. After the engage
ment they escorted a British cruiser
which had been hit by a torpedo safely
to the base from which the expedition
started. An enemy hospital ship was
also taken In charge for examination.
Active Duty Pleases Men.
Throughout the bombardment and
when.the forces were approaching th
harbor the chasers circled swiftlj
around the big ships. A report receives

Paris.-Stenographers may win the
war. At least the last battle of the
Marine which turned the tide against
Germany was won by stenographers,
reasoning along the same lines as were
made famous by the celebrated reci-
tai to the effect that ga throne was lost
all for the lack of a horseshoe nail"
For If the French say the American
soldiers saved Paris, and the Ameri-
can soldiers say the big war welfare
organizations saved them with hot
chocolate and other supplies when the
commissary couldn't keep up with the
moving troops, the welfare organiza-
tons have said more than once that
the girl clerical workers have more
than once saved the situation.
"I sometimes think that this war is
going to be won by the stenOgraphers,"
is the view of Miss McCook, head of
the women's department in Paris.
