EDW. THORNTON, Ace,
GETS HELP FROM ALA.
Hiss Bowman Has Books Sent
From Washington to Him
Regularly,

Edward Thornton, one of the boys in
ward No. 40. who went overseas, served
with the 18th Engineers. and is now
back recovering from ills he contracted
! in France.
When he needs books he goes to Miss
Bowman Of the A. L. A., just like most
Of the boys here do. 1t happens that
Th0rnton's books have to come from
Washington most of the time, where
Congressional Library.
He is studying concrete road building
He was graduated in the department
of engineering of the University of Vir-
ginia several years ago and is now try
ing to refresh his memory, SO that when
he gets out into civil life, which he
hopes to do this week, he will be in po-
siti0n to resume his former tasks with
out difficulty.
In France Thornton worked in gum
boots a large part of the time. His
company was building in st. Nazaire.
He believes, by the way. that the
French. roads are well made and that
their system Of maintenance is not sur
passed anywhere in the world.
J Thornton is much interested in the
roads question OF his native state, Vr
ginia, where a policy of statewide i'm
provements of highways has not been
put into effect. He thinks that a
stronger system, one which would
enable the state to go ahead with con-
struction of roads regardless of county
Interference, would be the one to bring
about the best results.
Miss Bowman gets the books that
Thornton needs, keeps the time con-
sumed In reading them and notifies
him when the limit has expired so that
he can hand them in in time for the reg
ulation borrowing period. The system
causes him no trouble whatever and he
declares the A. L. A. deserves lot of
credit for the painstaking work it per-
forms.

Asleep in their tents, many of them,
with crap game in progress and
the quiet of a peaceful afternoon in
the 18th Cavalry as attacked by a
platoon of tanks, under Capt Wiley,
with the aid of battalion of the 18th
Infantry, Saturday afternoon, and the
best-posted military men in camp
declared that there were no soldiers
left when the last shots were fired.
Who won?
That was the question which every
body asked, and there were not many
good answers. but there were plenty
of persons who had their opinions and
expressed them. That was the rea-
son for the statement that no soldiers
were left to tell the tale, for all the
stories had the same conclusion,
namely, that the Opposition" was
annihilated
Start Fun Early.
Well, the shots of the opening en-
counter rang out at 2:15 o'clock and
the cavalrymen were in their sad
dies in about as long as it takes a
cloud to another, and the thunder of
the reverberating hoofs was heard
in the distance.
''The tanks are coming" cried the
boys with the yellow cords, COM
manded by Capt. Johnson, as they
sped away behind the pipe line at
Midway station, and the tremendous
crowd of soldier spectators swarmed
over toward the scene of action.
And the tanks did come. The dough-
boys of the 18th. under Maj. Polhe-
mus, were spread out in a long line
at the crest of the hill just back of
the Utilities center. Capt. Wiley or
dered the tanks to take the lead, and
as the retreating cavalrymen were
trying to find a position from which
they could defend themselves the
tanks went down the hill toward the
pipe line and spread out, so as to COM
mand the surrounding hills 1t was
not an easy thing for the cavalry
men to do much by way of attack.

Then the opportunity came. The

Trick Ridiculed.
OF course. the defenders asserted
that the cavalrymen were really
wiped out before they gained the po-
sition in the hostess house and.
therefore, were helpless. The dough-
boys declared that the tanks were so
placed that the cavalrymen could not
possibly have done a thing to gain
an entrance into their position. The
tankers. of course, were doing their
work in their usual efficient manner
they were turning their noses in the
direction taken by the retreating
riders.
The following crews were in thes
tanks: Belmont Pugh and Melvin Chill

the hospital because of an injury to
his head.
Maj. Arthur P. Deering of the enlist
ment office, was pleased with the ex-
hibition battle" which was staged
for the benefit of the recruitinO in
Meade and elsewhere.

demobilition of several big trees was
part of the exhibition, which at

cepting every chance and turning it
into sure thing.
Booze, who played right field. broke
his leg sliding into first base-at
least, he said it was broken, though
everybody has doubts about it. be-
cause in a short time the injured
member seemed to bear up and be-
have like a real good leg.
There are lots of men around the
hospital who would like to know

themselves with glory were Waters.

they tried to kill the pitcher by
throwing balls at him when his back
was turned, and affirm that the next
time up they will slaughter him by
knocking the skin off the pills he
serves up to them. What they threat
en- to do Is a-plenty. The "K. P.'s"

ARMY TUBERCULOSIS
PERCENTAGE Is LOW

Norman, Okla. March 12.-Only 22,
600 soldiers in the entire American army
of nearly 100000 men were afflicted
with tuberculosis when the government
began discharging men after the armis
tice was signed, according to Capt.
Gayfree Ellison, who has just returned
from the army to the University Of
Oklahoma.
Captain Ellison says this is very
small percentage considering the eX-
posures suffered by soldiers in France
and the number Of them who were gdss-
ed as gas frequently weakens the lungs
of men and tuberculosis follows.
Captain Ellison is professor of bac-
teriology i'm the university. For three
months ne has been i'm charge Of the
