to diminish the nervous tension of the

These hydroplanes discharging tor

the great secret of the British navy

BATTLE SHAFTTO
AMERICAN MEN

Washington.-The first three Amer.
soil fell in the village of BethelmOnt
about twelve miles east of Nancy. The
population of this region decided to
erect monument commemorative
their sacrifice, and replica of this
proposed monument was sent to Pres
ident Wilson by Ambassador Sharp
at Paris few months ago at the re.
quest of those in charge of the prof
ect. Originally it was the intention
to hold the ceremony of dedication in
the very village of Bethelmont, where
the three young heroes had given their
lives for freedom, but the community
was situated so near the firing line
that the ceremony had to be held at
Nancy. Ambassador Sharp has sent
to the state department a graphic re-
port on the subject. A large crowd
of distinguished people We're present
at the dedication exercises.
NJ Mirman, in his address before a
huge assembly at Nancy, emphasized
the fact that the three young heroes
In whose honor the monument had
been erected were not, indeed, the
first Americans whose blood had
Hinged the battlefields of France.
Young men from the United States
impatient to fight, had enrolled volun-
tarily in the French and English ar
mics and already in 1916 their num-
Der exceeded 10000.
Carried American Flag.
A very touching incident illustrates
the patriotism of those Americans who
had Joined the French Foreign Legion
before the United States entered the
war. Not being able to fight openly
under the Star-Spangled Banner they
procured an American flag and decided
that each of them, in turn. should car
ry 1T wrapped around his breast. In
this way our flag was present in all
those numerous combats in which the
