MAN WHO SAW WAR ON FOUR
FRONTS ESCAPES DEATH
MANY TIMES WHILE sERV.
ING SOLDIERS.

Chicago.-More than 700 Y. NJ. G. A.
workers saw service with the soldiers
of the American expeditionary force in
the front lines during the last months
Of the war.
Frank M. Van Epps, seriously
wounded while serving as Y. M. G. A.
worker in the Argonne, told of some of
his experiences in a talk at the Z. M.
G. A. college here:
On the way to France last April on
the Oronzo, Van Epps and Sc other
"Y" men narrowly escaped drowning
when the ship was torpedoed by a
German U-boat
Van Epps was divisional secretary
of the Y. M. G. A. outfit. He worked
with the Fifth division until the armis-
tice was signed. He was dressed up in
a doughboy's uniform when he arrived
here. A limp and kitbag slung over
his shoulder containing what is left Of
his equipment complete his couvenirs
of more than six months service over
seas.
Van Epps saw the war on four fronts
in France and Alsace, serving In the
f1rst-line trenches on two of them.
When the Oronzo was tOrpedoed on
April 20 go miles off the coast of
Wales U-boats SCOT two out of con-
voy Of seven steamships. The Oronzo
went down in IL minutes after she was
struck, and Van Epps and other ''Y"
men lost all their baggage. They were
picked up by a torpedo-boat destroyer
and landed at Hollyhead, Wales.
In Front Line.
In southern and middle Alsace, Van
Epps was in the firSt-line trenches and
at St. Mihiel, when the drive opened,
he became stretcher bearer after his
supplies ran out. Getting word to
shift to the Argonne, he travelled all
night by train, on trucks and afoot,
and spent the next three weeks sleep
ing in shell holes and trenches when
he was not at work.
At Madeleine farm, on October 10,
Van Epps and Thomas F. Hadley Of
Iowa, another Y. M. G. A. man, set up
shop in an old barn. All but three of
the twenty-five 'Y" workers went back
to get supplies. The barn had been
under shell fire for several days. but
Van Epps and Hadley decided it was
good enough to sleep in. They built
a bed Of boxes of jam, with tub OF
chewing tobacco for pillow and lay
down.
Half a mile back, an American bat
terry was hammering the Germans, and
two German airsplanes came over look
Ing for the position. They let go two
bombs which landed on each side of
the barn. Soon came a third, which
struck the roof, bringing down a mass
of rafters and beams and scattering
shrapnel. A splinter was driven
through the calf of one of Hadley's
legs and piece Of shell tore through
both of Van Epps' thighs.
After dressing stations and field hos
pitfalls had finished, with them they
spent half day in an ambulance and
then were put aboard a French hos
pital train, where they remained an
other two days. One Of these days was
Sunday, so Van Epps, at the sugges-
ton Of some of the doughboys, "put
on" a service, conducting it propped
up in his stretcher.

There were whisky rings long before

298 men were indicted In New York

avoid the payment Of the liquor tax.
The ring was made up of distillers,
wholesale liquor dealers and employees
of the internal revenue office. Many
of them, including the chief clerk OF
the treasury department were sent to
prison. 1t was shown that the COM
bination had cheated the government

DRAG, DRAG, DRAG

Practically all the authorities
are agreed that dirt roads can be
kept in a decent condition by the
use Of the drag and that the only
time when the drag can be used
effectively is Immediately after a
rain. To drag when the ground
is dry and hard is waste of time
and money.
BY reason Of the recent rains
conditions in this section are ex-
actly right for getting results by
dragging. Unless it rains more the
conditions will not be right a
week hence and even a delay OF
day or two will reduce the eff
fectiyeness Of this kind Of work.
With the ground in ideal condi-
ton, the prompt application of
the drag on roads where the nee
essary grading has been done,
will put the highways in good
shape.
Mr.. Temple, county commits
sloner, states that six contracts
for road dragging in this district
are in force, covering the entire
district with the exception of the
Tablcr road which must be grad
ed before it can be dragged to adj
vantage. If these contracts are
faithfully carried out, the drag
ging being done Immediately, we
may expect to see at least 100 per
cent Improvement. But it cannot
be stressed too strongly that the
work must be done while the
ground is soft; otherwise, it will
be largely waste of effort and
money Let the dragging proceed
now and be kept up after every
rain.

Peter Webster drew up his car be-
fore the rambling farmhouse ard
viewed 1t appraisingly. He had taken
upon himself the task of selecting a
suitable summer boarding place for
his senior partners nerve-worn
daughter--Or rather, the task, as usu.
al, was thrust upon him.
TO Peter, 1t seemed that he had dur
Ing the past year, been called upon
oyermuch to attend to the affairs of
this same unknown Miss Patricia Penn
broke. In his opinion, his partners fa-
vored daughter was one of class to
be shunned.S So Peter deliberately
stunned her; though difficult of car
rying out was his purpose. Not only
the girls. family and adoring mother,
but his own financially ambitious one,
were anxious to bring the two togeth-
er, in hope OF a possible proud alli-
ance.
Peter desiring not to be a cause OF
disappointment, determined to hold
aoof. He was fond of his old senior
partner; his sympathies went out to
the busy man, who must constantly be
burdened with added home cares
Therefore Peter had with much con-
sideration.< chosen Miss Pembroke's
luxurious car, and also, being musi-
clan, he had selected, at her fathers
lnstigation, her new concert grand pi.
ano.
From these missions the younger
partner had formed his own opinion
of the iiattered girls exactions. Patricia
Pembroke. 1t seemed, was always in
the center of the social stage.
Here her "song charmed" or there
"she excelled as pianist" Far be IT
from himself, Peter thought, to con
tinue the tired old fathers charge of
catering to this brilliant daughter.
He smiled Ironically as he rang the
rusty bell on the farmhouse. The doc
TORS prescription of rest for Miss Penn
broke in such seclusion would not, he
was sure, be long followed.
Having no response to his summons,
he passed around to a rear door.
Through the screen he could see that
the orderly rooms were vacant. Then,
far back among the spreading trees
of a tangled garden, he saw blur of
pink moving with the sway of ham,
mock, and he went in it's direction
The girl who looked up at him from
the depths of the hammock seemed to
be alone in a green solitude. Unblink-
ingly her blue eyes regarded him,
ruffied pink sunbonnet giving her
cheeks ruddy glow. He saw that
the skirt of her pink cambric frock
was filed with the green peas she
was podding.
"I came" announced Peter, ito make
Inquiries concerning board, at the
farmhouse. No one was there"
"For yourselfT asked the girl calm
ly, as she continued her p6dding.
"For a young lady" Peter replied.
"Can you tell me where TO get infor-
mation?"
"I can give you all the Information
you want" the girl replied. I'VE are
not taking anyone"
"But l was directed here" Peter In
sisted, evidently distressed. His search
had been long.
Uninvlted, he dropped into a seat
beneath the trees. He hoped he might
be able to enlist the sympathy of this
satisfied young creature in Miss Penn
hroke's behalf, so that she, in turn,
