Paris, July 20. Correspondence
of The Associated Press)-The he
roic exploits and hair-breadth es-
capes of D'Artagnan as narrated by
Dumas in The Three Musketeers"
fade into comparative insignificance
when compared with the achieve
ments of Rene Bertrand as told by
himself. Minus an arm and leg,
with nine medals glittering on his
breast, and asserting that his body
bore more than 80 bullet and bayo-
net wounds, private Rene Bert
rand of the French Colonial Infan-
try" posed in Paris as the greatest
hero of the war,
Now he has been arrested as per-
haps one of the wars greatest IA
kris, and the police authorities de-
clare that he lost his leg and arm in
a railway accident and that five i'm
prisonments instead of five citations
compose his record. 1t was the pub
LEGATION of Bertrand's photograph in
French newspaper that led to his
undoing.
Meantime, while reveling in the
fruits of his own romance, Bertrand
enjoyed the confidence of army Of
ficers and the credit of the leading
Paris cafes. One famous and fear
less aviator made private Bertrand
his godson and "adopted' him for
the balance of the war.
The medals he wore included the
cross of the Legion or Honor, the
Military Medal, the War Cross with
seven palms and five stars, the Brit
ish military cross, the Belgian War
Cross, the Colonial Medal, Medal of
Morocco, and the Medal for Saving
Life. and the Medal for Wounds. In
addition he wore the "fouragere" of
the Legion of Honor.
Where he got them has not been
disclosed, but to account for them
Bertrand constructed story of Won
derful incidents. According to this
tale he won the military medal by
saving the lives of two officers and
was himself wounded in the thigh
when surrounded by natives while

fighting with the French Territorial
Forces, in Morocco in 1913.
Then according to his own story,
Bertrand won the war cross in pa

after his companions were killed, he
captured a whole German cooking
outfit at Laon, having killed most of
the cooks. Next, fighting with the
British on the Somme he won the
military cross by capturing twelve
Germans singlehanded. Meantime
he had been captured five times by
the Germans but always managed to
escape.

Chicago, Aug. l3.-Sabotage was
defined as the biggest, strongest
and most wholesale weapon of the
working class by William d. Hay
wood, general secretary and treas
urer OF the |. w. W.. at the trial to-
day of 100 leaders of the organiza-
ton charged with violation of the

I'VE believe in using sabotage to

tive means of accomplishing this
desired result" said Haywood. at

adulterating food products, cloth
and other necessities OF life. My
opinion is that sabotage, according
to my definition of it, must be used
bv the workers if the capitalistic
class is to be put out of business.
This is the only practical means of
protecting humanity from being
robbed and poisoned y
Haywood attempted to justify the
calling of strikes by the |. w. w.

Haywood accused New York cap

found that 25 newspapers were all
that were necessary to dominate
public opinion.

CARv|N'S CAPITAL
PUT IN CLASS Al
PAULS VALLEY SHOWED EFF
Feet OF ORGANIZED COM
MUNITY EFFORT

Pauls Valley is characterized by
one OF the leading development jour
nails as being in Glass AL" This is
due to the fact that nine months
ago Pauls Valley was awakened from
its lethargy following the re-organ-
ization of her "reorganized CONNER
cial club" taking the name of the
Pauls Valley Chamber OF Commerce
and Community League--and en-
gaging as its secretary "a man from
Texas" who signed his name Thos.
+. Hodge.
Mr.. Hodge came we'll recommend
ed, having been prominent for sew
cral years in West Texas develop
ment, and having to his credit the
successful promotion of the Million
Dollar West Texas A. & NJ. Col
lege. The bill creating this institu-
tion being crystallized into law by
the 34th Texas legislature.
After making a survey of Pauls
Valley needs and possibilities, the
new secretary began in quiet way
the accomplishment of the tasks. A
nine months record of achievements
bv the Chamber OF Commerce and
Community League has just been
published by that organization with
the result that national journals
place Pauls Valley in Glass Al for
having accomplished the greatest de-
velopment of any city of 5000 popu-
lation in the United States. This
honor having been conferred after a
careful analysis of the comprehen-
siveness OF the achievements of that
organization.
This report shows an actual de-
velopment in 9 months of Sl,2l9,OOO
with a program OF $6l5,000.0O fur
ther development projects, practic-
ally concluded. A good roads sys-
TEN has been a part of this program
and several hundred thousand dol
lars has been made available for this
purpose. None the less marvellous
has been Pauls Valleys development
as will be attested by the large
amount of construction now under
way.
The Pauls Valley chamber OF COM
merce and community league has
been dealing in fundamentals for the
past nine months. The wall between
the city and rural districts, between
comeptitive towns has been broken
down, as is evidenced by the fact
that nineteen directors of this or
ganization come from the rural dis
tricts. The counsel OF the rural di-
1ectors is sought in all matters OF
county development and mutual in
terest" is the thought that directs
energies.
This organization is unique from
the fact that after an existence OF
nine months. 100 per cent of the
business and professional interests
of Pauls Valley are actively identi-
fed with the chamber OF commerce
and community league and contrib
ute to its support.
Mayor T. l.. Kendall and the
Board of Aldermen are alive
TO the interest of Pauls Valley and
are cooperating to the fullest ex-
|fent of their power to make the
City measure up TO its possibilities
and take the place to which 1t is
entifled by reason OF its advantages
and geographical location.
