TRIBUTE TO HEROES
.........-... -..- OF THE MARINE.

Paris.--All France paid tribute
to the heroes of the Marine in cele-
bration of the fourth anniversary Of
the historic conflict. The celebra-
ton took on an added significance
from the recent series OF victorie:
over the same fighting ground as
four years ago and the participa-
ton Of American troops in the new
battle of the Marine.
Although the day was overcast,
there was a great pilgrimage to the
battle fields, and many ceremonies
were held in villages slowly recover
ing from the devastation caused
when the Germans made their first
sweep toward Paris. The principal
function was at MeauX, which bears
the scars of the battle four years
ago Memorial services were held
at the Meaux Cathedral and were
attended by representatives of allied
Governments, the army, navy and all
branches of public life. An impress
sive discourse was delivered by the
Bishop of Arras, who likened the
battle of the Marine to the miracle
which brought about the relief Of
Orleans.
On the battlefield Jacques Dunes
nil, Under Secretary OF War For
Aviation, made an address on be-
half of the French Government.
Other ceremonies were held in many
cities throughout France.
General Pershing sent a magpifi-
cent wreath, on behalf of the Ameri-
can army, to MeauX, which Bishop
Marbeau placed it among the graves
on the battlefield Two other
wreaths were placed in the cathed-
raj at the foot of the statue of Joan
dare One wreath was inscribed
from the American Soldier" and
the other was from the Knights Of
Columbus.
The graves of 80 American SOL
diers, who died in the America
hospital at Meaux after the fighting
at Chateau Thierry, were not forgot
ten, Bishop Marbeau reciting a spe-
cial prayer in the little cecetery.
General James G. Hartford repres-
ented General Pershing at the cere-
monies.

Saved Ship From Destruction.

Capturing runaway bomb on the
deck of ship during a terrific gale,
Il United States navy man heroically
held on to several hundred pounds of
high explosive until it was got to safe
~. This man of iron nerve is John
Mackenzie of the naval reserve, who
is serving as n chief boatswain's mate
on the U. S. S. Remlits, converted
yacht now on patrol service in Euro
pean waters. For this extraordinary
herolsm Mackenzie has been awarded
a medal of honor and given a gratuity
of 500. In the midst of q storm n
depth charge, such as have proved so
disastrous to German submarines,
broke loose and went rolling about the
decks. Realizing the danger, Macllen-
zie shouted out, "I'll get herr and
flung himself upon the charging cylin-
der. Three times he was thrown from
the bomb. The fourth time he got it
and, heaving the charge upright, sat
on it and held it down. Here he re-
manned until lines were placed around
the bomb. Had the charge exploded
1t would have blown the ship to pieces.
Mackenzie is native of Massachu-
sets and his mother, Mrs. Mackenzie,
resides at South Hadley Falls. Mass.
After serving four years in the regu-
lar navy he returned to service in the
feet naval reserve.

The Central Committee of the

1t is intended that on these two

Churches viii Help.
The director Of speakers will ar
range to have patriotic speeches and
mass meetings on these days, and all
churches on Sunday, September 20,
will have patriotic sermons preached.
Sales Director Vincent l.. Price has
issued instructions to each county
chairman and director of sales re-
questing their cooperation on the
plan. Places must be provided in
each locality, where the people may
enter their subscriptions, and ample
publicity must be given. Director
Price suggests that booths. offices,
stores and banks may be used. The
factories should be organized for

ent to receive subscriptions.
1t is expected that the Women's Di-
vision will have an~important part In
the work OF Volunteer Days." and
they should be included in all plans.
The work of subscribing on Sun
day. September 20, will be largely
through the churches, and the Lib
erty Loan Workers are particularly
instructed to see that the pastors Of
each church is advised of the plans,
and requested to aid in the work.
Buttons and Flags on Hand.
The head of the sales department
IL each community is expected to see
that subscription cards, Liberty Loan
buttons and individual honor flags are
at hand. These supplies may be OBJ
tanned through the Central Liberty
Loan Organization at st. Louis.
Mr.. Price says that 1t Is felt that
this idea of Volunteer Subscription
Days is wanted by the people and that
they will respond t same readily and
literally. If such proves to be the
case it will be a movement toward
simplifying and shortening the Liber-
ty Loan Campaigns.
In France and England the Loans
are all taken by Volunteer Subscrip-
tons.
The Loans are announced by the
right kind of publicity, places and
means for subscriptions are provided
and the people take the Loans.

How Allied Soldiers Suffered When

II was true. Over there from the
enemy's lines, came great greenish
balls, voIling close to the earth, rolling

straight toward us, Emmanuel Bour-
cier writes in Scribner's. Gas! That
horrible thing. still almost unknown,
which had been used for the first time
only recently on the User. 1t was
coming with deadly surety amidst a
tornado of artillery. Orders were
shouted back and forth:
"The gas Put on the mnsksl"
Each man spread over his face the
protecting cloth. The shelters were

ran the length of the communication

. We did not yet know what manner
of horror 1t was. None Of us had ex.
perienced an attack of the sort. We
ran TO and fro like ants whose hill
has been molested. Some fired their
guns at random, others awaited or
ders. The frightful, vivid thing came
on, expanded to cloud. crept upon
us, glided into the trenches. The air
was quickly obscure. We were SWIM
ming in an atmosphere stained q
venomous color, uncanny, indescrib-
able. The sky appeared greenish, the
earth disappeared. The men staggered
about and rolled on the ground, stifled.
There were some knots of soldiers
who had been asleep in their beds
when overtaken by the gas. They
writhed in commissions, with ritals
burning, with froth on the lips, call
ing for their mothers or cursing the
Germans. We gathered them up as
best we could; we took them to the
doctors, who, thus confronted by an
unknown condition, found themselves
powerless. They tried the applica-
ton of oxygen and ether in an effort
to save the lives of the victims. only
to see them die, already decomposed,
in their hands.

ran about like madmen, shrielling in
terror, the throat choked with saliva,

agony. Some filed the mouth with

against asphyxiation.
