Morris counsel. John Chapman. for

He was standing by the side Of Sulii-
van when Morris opened hre. Chap
nina fell forward onto an otleloth-
covered table in front Of him and let
the bullets pass over his body.
It was not the irst time the magis-
trate had been shot.
Eight years ago, Sullivan had trou-
BILE with Sam Holly, another noun
taineer, over the formers wife.
One day while hauling load 7ol
bark to the tannery up in the noun
tains sullivan was attacked by Holly,
who fired a shotgun at him.
SuIlivan's left eye was shot out
Holly was sentenced to two years In

his wife. On his. return from the penl-
tentiary Holly married SulliVan's d.

duty with the American expeditionary
forces, either in France or Germany,
should be given three days leave in
Paris at some time before he sailed
for home, the question arose as to
how these men should be housed and
cared for in Paris.
The American Red Cross had hotels
already for more than a thousand
men. but that was insufficient for the
number who would come So il was
agreed that the added burden should
be assumed by the Red Cross, and
that more hotels should be provided
To meet a measure OF the emer-
gency need. permission was gained as
an especial token Of friendship from
the French authorities OF Paris 20
build a city of tents on the historic
Champs de Mars.
Fifty tents would be needed for this
hotel city. it was decided-not mere
pup" tents, but dormitory tents,
dancing hall tents, and office tents.
The lowest price at which these could
be purchased was $3.50 each. It
seemed q large order from a financial
standpoint, even for the care and COM
fort Of American boys in Paris. So
it was decided to see what the salvage

Built to house 1900 and feed l.6OC

,ionary forces, the great tent city

in Paris. was erected within eight
working days at practically only the
cost Of labor. This seeming miracle
was accomplished by the salvage sec
iion, which came into existence as
one Of the activities OF Red Cross
work last December
Capt c. Ross Corbin, Of California,
is the man who has directed this work
from the first. From all parts of
France materials have been saved
from hospitals and camps-wherever
the American Red Cross has had
property. This has been repaired,
cleaned. sterilized, furnished up in
whatever way seemed necessary for
its preservation and future use, then
il was carefully packed away to await
the day of its need. The buildings on
the Champs de Mars grew like the
house that Jack built. step by step,
IS reasons for its existence deve :
oped.
When the United States army al
thoritfes decided that each man On

section could do for the situation. The
result justified the conclusion.
The tents were provided from the
storehouses OF the sectfon-tents that
had formerly been a part of the hos
pitfalls which had sheltered thousands
of wounded American boys at Chateau
Thierry. When hospital No. 1, at
NeuiIly, one OF the oldest and best
known OF the American Red Cross in
Paris. had outlived its busy days, the
oak floors, fitted. grooved and polish
ed TO a marvellous smoothness of sur
face, were taken in sections from the
recreation paviIions and stored. In
the two long tents to be devoted to
dancing at the Champs de Mars Hotel,
these floors are now laid and provide
q means to make dancing a delight.
Iron beds, fitted with newly cleaned
and covered mattresses; pillows rip
ped apart, sterilized and recovered:
blankets freshly cleaned, sheets and
pillow cases carefully laundered and
mended and shower baths, make the
soldier man, worn out with sightsee-
ing and the joys of Paris, dream that
he is once more sleeping beneath the
family roof tree back in "the States"
Coal stoves. formerly on duty dur
ing long wet days and chill nights in
hospitals, canteens and the like, were
saved by the same indefatigable sec
tion, cleaned and polished, and now
make the dormitory and recreation
tents warm and cosy spots.
So, throughout the hotel, the sale
age section has brought comforts

struction for further days OF useful
