everything possible is done by the force
on the defensive to hinder the construc.
ton OF the passageway, and the price
OF such bridge paid In HUMAN life is
otten very great. RGt the crossing of
the bridge by troops always admits and
invites the most dramatic incidents OF
war
During an action toward the close OF
the war when the American forces were
notify pressing the foe farther and
farther back toward his own territory,
the Germans retreated across a small
river with the Eanks hanging close on
their heels. The boche had succeeded
in withdrawing to the off-bank of tho
river. and in destroying their bridges
only matter OF minutes before the ar
rival of the Americans on the near
bank. Immediately tho Yankee engln-
GERS began to throw n pontoon bridge
across tho stream, and despite the fire
of the enemy machine guns they sue
ceeded In completing their work. A
few moments later the first of tho troops
were ordered to cross.
The very first unit to attempt a cross
ing was commanded by Lit Maurice w.
Kicker, 9Th infantry, of Brookiine. Mass.
The fire of the enemy was n perfect
storm. Not an inch OF the near bank
of the stream but what was swept clean
by tho machine guns on the opposite
bank, while the boche artillery hurled
hail of shell on the waterway In an et-
fort to break the lender, swaying
bridge over which the Americans were
TO come. Kicker however. wasn't dis
mayed, nor We're the mon of the platoon
as they followed their leader in n dash
onto the bridge for a go to the other
side.
The daring attempt was dramatic
enough for any one. Kicker with the
head Of tho column. had reached n
point beyond the middle Of the bridge
when p well placed shot of some artil-
leryman broke the pontoon In two With
out hesitation, however. the plucky lieu
tenant and tho handful OF men who
were left with him on The far side pro-
ceeded to attack the enemy forces on
their own grounds. And SO fierce was
the onslaught of the little band that a
large detachment of the German force
was routed eight Germans were made
prisoners. five machine guns and two
ininenwerfers were captured and the
b. idge was successfully covered while
the engineers repaired 1t and the re-
mainder of the American unit crossed
over.
Lit. Kicker was given the DISTINGUISHED
service cross for his conduct on this
occasion.

marks the beginning of a new quarter, and
another quarters worth won't hurt any

My heart was heavy indeed a. I
tucked Richard Second, cooling and

slowly down the gravelled walk to the

A Country Playground.

n N one section, where ranches are big
and houses are far apart, the women
got together and formed a community
club. One Of their first decisions was that
the young people needed gathering place,
playground where they could get to-
gether for clean, healthy fun and vary the
monotony of their ranch life.
AS a centrally located spot, five acres Of
ground adjoining the district school was
rented, and the campaign was on. Farmers
promised to arrange their work so that,
except at harvest time the boys could have
Saturday afternoons off, The women
planned their homework to give the girls
the same privilege The first warm Satur-
day was devoted to getting the place in or
der, clearing the ground, setting up swings
and preparing for croquet, tennis and bas-
ketball. Tennis proved popular not only
with the boys and girls but with the older
people as well, and there is a constantly
growing interest in outdoor sports.
All this has taken time and money, but
everybody has helped, and the result is
happiness and contentment and in stinu-
lated neighborhood life has more than re-
paid both.
This sort of thing goes far toward solv-
ing the problem of how to keep the boys
and girls from leaving the farm and going
to the cities. Custer county is on the right
track.

WANT CAMP COLT
PERMANENT POST
Delegation OF Gettysburg Cit
izens Interview War De-
partment Officials

Gettysburg, Pa, Jan. 11.-A dele
CATION of Gettysburg businessmen
and Chamber of Commerce MEM
bers were introduced yesterday to
Secretary of War Baker, and to
mem bers of the general staff, at
Washington, TO whom they set forth
reasons for making Camp Colt and
the National Park permanent mill
tary post. 1t was set forth that in
asmuch as there are to be n num-
ber of new concentration camps to
be established, Gettysburg furnishes
an ideal site, because of its typog-
raphy and natural advantages and
because of the work already done
there in making it a camp for the
United States Regulars and for the
tank corps.
Another feature impressed on the
Washington officials was the fact
that the lease on which more than
100 acres of the present camp
ground was obtained, stipulates that
the ground shall be returned in the
samS condition as that in which II
was found. This has since been piped
for water and sewer systems. all of
which would have to be removed and
the Gettysburg people declared that
the land could be bought for less
than the cost of this work.
The delegation reports that the IN
terview appeared to be quite favor
able. Definite decision is not expect
ed for some time.
