AMERICAN ARMY WAS
LARGER THAN BRITAIN'S

WASHINGTON. d. C.-At the
signing of the armistice, the Ameri-
can army on the western front was
second in size only to that of France,
and occupied the second largest ex-
tent of the fighting front. On No.
vember IL the American troops held
134.25 klometers of the total front
Of 642 kilometers, compared with 40
kilometers held by the Belgians. 113
by the British and 354 by the French.
In January of that year, the Ameri-
cans held only 10 kilometers of the
fighting line, the British 1877, the
French SEQ and the Belgians 40.
The American army was being rap
idly increased and the extent of the
front they held so extended that in a
few more months, had the war gone
on. they doubtless would have had
more fighting men at the front and
would have held more of the line
than the French. And this was ac-
complished by war department
whose critics declared had ceased to
function"

MEMBER OF FAMOUS PRINCESS
PATS UNSCATHED IN THREE
YEARS SERVICE

William E. McCourt is the guest of
his sister. Mrs. Fred Hudson. 1902
Chestnut street. He is American,
born in Minnesota, the son of j. II
McCourt who lived in Olympia in
1856, and was one of the men OF
the Princess Patricia's Canadian
Light Infantry regiment, mustered
out at Ottawa March Is.
The Princess Pats suffered perhaps
more heavily than any other regi-
ment Of the Allies in the war. OF
the first 1000 men of the regiment
there were only eight survivors, but
the regiment was constantly replen-
Shed with new troops and total of
more than 5000 men served in it
during the war, OF whom only 523
were mustered out at Ottawa.
Mr.. McCourt saw service in many
Of the important battles of the war,
among them Cambria, Arras, Pas.
schendaele, Vallienciennes. and final
ly at the capture of the city of Mons,
Belgium. He was gassed at Pas
schendaele, was shot through the
hand in another engagement and in
one fight had the heel of his shoe
shot away, but came out three years
service practically unscathed. though
he went lover the top" hundreds OF
times.
During the last German drive he
and his regiment were in the trenches
for 81 consecutive days, and suffered
untold hardships. Writing to his
brother-in-law, Secretary Hudson OF
the local Trades Council, in January
last, he mentioned that his Christmas

Omaha, Neb, Sept. 29.-An attempt
to lynch Mayor Ed P. Smith was made
by the mob which later hung William
Brown, negro, to a pole. A rope was
thrown around his neck and he was
pulled off the ground twice before two
police officers succeeded in cutting
the rope and getting him into an auto
mobile and away from the mob.
William Brown, colored, was dragged
from the county Jail and hanged to an
4ctric light pole, following a strug
sic of nine hours to secure possession
OF. his body by an immense mob.
A big fire started on thes ground
floor Of the court house and the entire
fire department was called out There
were more than 100 prisoners billeted
in the jail, which is on the top floor of
the court house. Immense crowds con-
tinued to gather, making it difficult
for the fire department to reach the
scene or for the police to protect the
firemen in their work. Within ten
minutes after the firemen arrived ev-
cry line of hose laid by the firemen
had been cut
1t was learned that one man, Frank
Clancy, aged 20, had been killed and
twenty-four others wounded during the
fighting
The police and firemen were entire
ly at the mercy of the mob, which had
broken into gun and ammunition stores
10
sives and weapons.
Two hours after Brown had been
hanged to en- electric light pole the
firemen were, for the first time, able to
get a stream on the flames At the
same time additional extension lad
ders were sent to the third and fourth
floors, where many of the occupants
were stonding on window ledges on the
one side of the building that had not
yet been touched by the flames.
The fire, howev&r, had already de-
strOyed valuable records which can
never be replaced. Aas soon as the
mob had accomplished it's prime object
it appeared ready to subside and be-
gan to diminish.
During the riOting large number OF
negroes were badly beaten on the
streets, some of them dangerously in
iured Chief of Police Eberstein was
himself subjected to physical violence
and narrowly escaped great personal
injury when members of the force
charged the crowd and led him to safe
ty. Thousands of persons congregated
in the downtown district, some Of them
out Of curiosity, but great numbers
showing decided sympathy for the
would-be lynchers. The sheriff coupled
up three lines of interior fire hose and
with his deputies and some police of
ficers attempted to cow the crowd by
turning water on them. Instead of hav-
ing that effect, it brought a hail of
stones and bricks.
