The pistol. regarded by European

states the report, which all Europe
could not match for efficiency.
European countries failed to appre-
ciate the value of large -caliber,
hard-hitting weapon of this type. and
the chief use of pistols and revolvers
in European armies had been as orna
ments for officers uniforms. it is said,
rather than for active fighting.
"The result of Europe's neglect"
the report says, was that the small
caliber revolvers of the Germans and
even of the French and English were
toys in comparison to the big Colts
that slapped the thighs of American
doughboyS.'
With this weapon. it is sta tied. "any
average soldier with average training
can hit what he shoots at. In al
most the first skirmish it proved it's
superior usefulness in trench fight

ing that the walls of public buildings

Gen. George Van Horn Moseley, assist
ant chief of staff, said:
During the ST. Mihiel and Argonne
offensives your son was largely re-
snonsible for the evacuation of our
sick and wounded by rail, and due
primarily to his conscientious efforts
and devotion to duty, nearly 100000
sick and wounded were safely trans
ported from the front to the hospitals
in the rear without mishap. During
times of stress this often entailed day
and night duty, and never did your
boy fail to meet the calls the service
made upon him. Words can do little,

of loss, but l know that the knowl-
edge of the great and important work
BurreH accomplished for his country
will be a source of great pride and
comfort to you"

In a letter to the Yale Alumni

following to say of Lieut.. Huff's serv-
fees:
"Eieut. Huff was assigned to my
command early in October. and he
was charged with the important duty
of transportation of all wounded, sick
and gassed carried by hospital trains
from the 1st Army to base hospitals
in the rear. Through his faithful
and devoted work for the thousands
of American soldiers and officers in
trusted to his care for safe and quick
transportation. he was responsible for
saving a great many lives.
During the several weeks of inten-
sive excavations of the Argonne- -Meuse
offensive he was at his desk con-
stantly, night and day, directing the
movement of the trains, seeing that
they were being properly rationed so
that the wounded would be assured
of food, directing trains carrying pre-
operative cases on short hauls to as
sure surgical attention for the wound
ed in the shortest possible time; and
it was through his conscientious ap-
plication to his work that his health
was undermined and his resistance so
weakened that his short illness proved
fatal"

Contributed to q. S. Success.

Col S. H Wadhams, chief of the
medical section of the general staff,
wrote as follows:
'FYour son belonged to a little group
of officers who have rendered particu-
larly conspicuous service to the Amer
lean expeditionary forces, and through
their efforts contributed materially
toward promoting the success of
American arms in Europe.
I'm addition to other important
activities, regulating station is the
funnel through which all our sick
and wounded from the battle lines
were evacuated to our hospitals in
the rear. During the period of hos
tilities the officers attached to these
stations worked indefatigably, day
and night, to keep our hospital trains
moving in order that our wounded
might receive speedy and prompt care.
The smoothness and precision with
which they carried on this work un-
der extremely trying conditions. and
frequently in the midst of enemy
bombing raids, has been a source of
frequent commendation."
Lieut. Huff was buried with full
military honors on January Is and
lies with sixty other Americans in
a small military cemetery on bank
of the Marine river. He was recon-
mended for promotion to captain
early in November. but the signing
of the armistice interrupted this pro-
motion. The recommendation came
again shortly before his death.
