MANUEL RUIZ, OLD TOWN
HERO, TELLS OF SEVEREST
FIGHTING HE EXPERIENCED

Manuel Ruiz, of old Albuquerque
who was decorated with the Croix de
Guerre, was recently asked to tell
something about the severest fighting
he took part in "over there" This is
the story he told
Il will tell you as best I can of the
st. Mihiel drive and the sectors we
held Immediately after. On the 9th of
September our division moved to a
new front and what turned out to be
the most terrible and costly event
that any of the American units had
taken part in SO far. We moved on
foot to the city, or rather what had
been the city of Verdun, the section
We were billeted in was called Four
berg Pava. The few days we remained
there all kinds of peace rumors
reached us, but we marched on and
peace came a little late for many of
our boys. That night we prepared
to go over the top in the early morn
ing. The experiences of that night are
unforgettable. On our way up we
were subjected to gas attack, then
we were suddenly caught in a small
barrage which managed to knock a
few unfortunate ones off. At last we
arrived at patch of woods known as
the Bots de Warville, which ran in a
direct line with our front. We We're
ordered to rest until o'clock in the
morning, at which time our battery
would open up.
Il happened to be leading a platoon
of men to the actual point and as our
battery opened fire l ordered double
time, for / realized that the enemy
would find our range but that in the
meantime / could place the men in
shell holes and they would find some
protection, at least, from she'll fire.
The enemy knew every move we made
that night. BY this time they were
using every caliber gun they had and
the noise was terrible. Everyone
seemed daZed. Shells were raking
every inch of the ground. That was
the day of days for the 15Sth, Septem-
Der 6, 1918. There was no use trying
to duck, it seemed as if we were all
going to get it.
Il was then put on the gas COM
Dany for three days, but / was sent
back to my outfit at the time We cap
tured Belleau Woods. In the afternoon
we caught the Boche mapping, we
grabbed the woods. Then the fun
commenced. We had no airplanes sup
porting us, and every now and then
Fritz single Fokker would swoop
down. open fire and drop white star,
giving away our front line position.
Their artillery would promptly open
UP and drive us back. How many men
we~had left holding the line 1 cannot
say. In the morning we would grab
the woods and in the evening we
would be driven out. Thus we fought
Tor three days. 1t was a question of

Because of the interchangeable calcu-
| lations of Sir Isaac Newton, the Eng
| llsh astronomer, we are today ponder
ing over the novel hypothesis of being
able to jump over house if we lived
on the moon. And without the slight
est eXertion you could bound over a
mountain one mile high If you lived
on Eros, the small asteroid.
II you care for athletic featS of
strength you nigh possibly consider
yourself of herculean capacity on
Mars, where you could easily lift a
564-pound safe or, if residing on the
moon, you might grab a modern
weight automobile and hold it aloft
Residing in the sun would prevent you
from lifting more than seven pounds,
While voting residence on an asteroid
would enable you to take a strangle-
hold of locomotive weighing 262, 200
pounds without causing strain on
your suspenders.
But then, consider the weight Ques-
ton. AS an average home-loving hus-
band will tip the scales at $50 pounds.
Should he wander far afield to Eros,
he would Immediately shrink to two
ounces. But,commuting. to the sun, the
man would rise to two tons. If you could
perchance, explore the inside of the
earth; say for example, little jour
ney through the center, at the center
of the earth you would weigh nothing,
while at the entrance or exit of the
shaft you would weigh normally $50
pounds.
But how about all this strange phe-
nomena Of gravitation, you ask. Just
this: Each planet in the solar system
has its parabolic velocity or, as we !
might call it. velocity of escape from |
the solar system, and as this varies in
versely with the square root of the J

!, planets distance from the sun, ii be-
comes less and less as the planets dis
| lance from the sun increases, to which
We are indebted for graphic illustra-
| lions and detailed explanations TO
Electrical Experimenter.
For Neptune the parabolic velocity
is only A. miles per second. Since it
| can be shown that this velocity Of es-
cape varies directly as the square root
of the mass of the attracting body to
it is possible to compute, the velocity
of escape for objects on all of the
planets in the solar system as well as
tor objects on the sun.
Taking the earth's attraction for OBJ
jects at its surface as the unit, the
relative surface gravity for all other
planets, the sun and the moon, has
been computed by multiplying the
density by the radius, both quantities
relative to the corresponding values
for the earth
What would happen should we visit
any of our smaller planetary bodies,
where there is no atmosphere, as the
moon or any of the asteroids? The
gravtational pull is so small on these
bodies that atmosphere escaped long
ago. We would then live in q vacuum.
We could not walk there, because If
We were to remove the normal daily
pressure on our bodies of lat pounds
our bodies would burst as an automo-
bile tire.
Another thing to remember is that !
the earth is revolving around the sun |
in an orbit that is almost a perfect '
circle with a velocity of eighteen and ,
one-half miles per second. What if |
this orbtal velocity would stop! why, |
the earth would fall into the sun and |
the time it took to fall would be sixty !
four and one-half days.

days reopening of trade with the
central European powers. Although it
has been known for some time that
German firms have been sending cir

WILMINGTON DE-
FEATS SUMTER
Best Game Of Season Promised
This Afternoon

In an eight inning, slow and unin-
teresting game yesterday. Wilmington
won the second game Of the series
from Sumter, to the tune of 20 to 2.
Sumter started off with the right pace,
making run in the first inning when
Crawford pasted one to the cowpen in
centerield, scoring Ratchfcrd ahead
of him. From this minute on Sum
ter flew up in the air for the rest OF
the game.
In the fifth inning with three on
bases Frank Chandler walked Trust,
forcing in Barnette. Chandler imme-
diately took cover, Nunnamaker go
ing into the game, with three men on
bases and nobody out. The first ball
"Nunnie" pitched across the plate
was lifted across the fence by Blan-
chard for a home run, scoring all three
of his teammates.
The only feature of the game was
Blanchard's stick work, he being re-
sponsible for eight Of Wilmington's
runs. Reaves, in centerfeld, made a
brilliant catch of GrihRth's hot one
and threw him out at first base.
Curry pitched great ball for Will
r,lington, keeping Sumter's hits well
scattered. f,unnamal.er's Bean"
ball struck Hasty on the head with
such force that he was compelled to
retire from the game.
The fans this afternoon will see Al.
most a complete change in Sumter's
line up. The following men will be
seen in the Gamecock uniform: Burns,
Crawford, Chandler, F., Brown,
Haynsworth, Reaves, Cauthen, Ratch-
ford, Purdy, Nunnamaker, Burrows
and Joe Chandler.
Besides those already mentioned,
Capt. Burns has secured the services
of such noted players as Kian, Martin,
Bob Clarke and a. Chandler.
Although Wilmington had an easy
time beating Sumter's Y. NJ. c. "A.
team, the Tar Heels will sure have a
hard time beating Buck Burns team
this afternoon. Everybody turn out
at 6 o'clock when Umpire Washing
ton says "play ball.
