In BIG BATTLE TO LAST
Man OF 3i3th Infantry Describes
Scenes of Last Fight.

Winchester, Va, Jan. lS.-The
3l3th Infantry was in the thick Of
great battle up TO the very moment
hostilities ceased on November IL,
by Mrs. c. L.. Estep, Boyce, Va. from
her nephew. Private H. N. Boylan, of
Company C.
THE bloodiest of all our engage
ments," he writes, was our last
drive, which was made north of Ver-
dun, Nov. 10, lasting in heavy shell
fire until II O'Clock on the morning
of the 18th. No doubt the only
thing that saved us was our being in
swampy valley near Hill No. $50,
in mud and water knee deep. When
the German shells struck they threw
mud and water upon us instead of
steel and rock. 1t was the bloodiest
field we ever went over. We dug in
the night of the 10th on that hill and
had American, French and German
dead all around us. 1t took the regi-
ment three whole days to bury them.
.'All we had to do with the Ger
man dead was to drag them to the
great shell holes and scrape some dirt
over them. We buried Al Germans
in one hole, and were sorry we did
not have another and bigger one, for
if would have saved us from digging
graves. 1t was sure hell all the way
through but it is all over now, and
why should we worry about it any
more?"

The Farmerette To Stay.

The Woman's Land Army of Amer
ica-the war emergency organization
that claims the distinction Of having
invented the farmerette-sends out
the gladsome information that to a
large extent the farmerettes will stay
in the farm game. Very likely a
good many of them have married in
to the business and, likely as not,
some of them with good business
heads have observed that there is
good business opportunity in every
thing from eggs to pigs-from cab
bage to poultry.
We were hearing so much in the
ante-bellum times about the isola-
ton of farm life for women that the
report that women who went into
farming as a war service will stay in
because they love the freedom, the
open air life and the joyous simplici-
ty and wholesomeness of life on the
farm, comes something in the way OF
a surprise. AS to what makes life
joyous is, after all, in the way of
thinking about it. The city-bred girl
sometimes makes the steadiest and
most satisfied kind of a farmers
wife, simply because she knows about
the humbuggery of the great white
ways.
And by the same token it is gen
orally the country girl who goes the
rapid pace in city life. AS to farm
ing san occupation for women
why not? Modern farming is much
more an affair of intelligently direc-
ted plans than OF toilsome egort. Ma
chinery is used for pretty much ev-
erything on the modern farm-eyen
chickens ar ehatched by machinery.
And, speaking of chickens. what's
wrong about hen farming for wo-
men when one industrious hen can
be scheduled for SO worth of eggs
per annum.

FEDERAL DIRECTOR OF
R., c. & A. AND M, D.&V.
Elisha Lees Jurisdiction Extended 10
Cover These Steamship Lines.

!. Elisha Lee, federal director OF the
pennsylvania Railroad, has mad his
jurisdiction extended to coyes the
baltimore, Chesapeake and Atlantic
And the Maryland, Delaware ana Eir
gifia Railway Companies.
These two companies operate ;.il
.tLe baywise steamers covering The
sCE esapeake Bay and it's tributaries,
with the exception of those routes Ia
Zen care of by the Tolches;er Com
Einy, the Chesapeake Steamship 90.
and the Baltimore Steam Packet, Old
Bay Line.)
Following the death of Capt. Will
lard Thompson, former vicc-prcsi-
dent and general manager of the
B., c. & A. and NJ, D. & ", Turnbull
Murdock, former general freight and
passenger agent, was elected his sue
cessor and since that time the two
lines have been operating under his
direction.
When the government took charge
of the railroads the question of L,al-
agement of the steamer lines connec~
ted with these roads arose. Some
time ago Key Compton, president of
the Chesapeake Steamship Co., was
made federal manager of the Chesa-
peake and Old Bay Lines. Shortly af
ter this all the property of the B., C.
& A. and NJ. D. & V. was posted
with placards hearing the signature
of United States Railroad Director
McAdoo. While at that time no fed
eral manager was appointed to take
care of these lines, Mr.. Murdock CO.
operated with the governme in ev-
cry way and carried out all sugges-
lions sent from Washington.
Mr.. Lee came to Baltimore on
Thursday to look over the field. He
remained here for two days, and up
on his return to Philadelphia, Mr..
Murdoch accompanied him, return
Ing to Baltimore late Friday night.
I When asked regarding possible
changes in the future, Mr.. Murdoch
Stated yesterday afternoon that he
understood at the present time there
will be no alterations in the operative
fgorce. A short time ago the receiv-
Ing clerks on the wharves were placed
on federal basis.

Maria, Texas, Aug. 25.-Colonel
Langhornes name is respected by the
Mexicans on the border Hearing that
Chico Cano was in Paloma Springs,
Captain Boudinot took twenty troop
ers and started after him. Near their
destination they found themselves sur
rounded by 100 Carranza soldiers and
were informed that release would have
to await permission from Ojinaga.
Colonel Langhorne will be very angry

Maria, Texas.-The first of the ex-
pedition to cross the border on the re-
turn to the United States, the pack
and supply trains, reached RuidoSa,
according to telephone advices. The
remainder of the expedition followed.
Colonel Langhorne said the expedi-
ton was considered a success from
military standpoint. He pointed to the
killing of five bandit suspects and ar
rest of six other suspects by the Amer
leans and capture of nine by Carranza
troops at COyame.
The immediate reason for with
drawal, he said, was that there no
longer was any prospect of capturing
other bandits and there were no more
hot trails to follow.
In addition to recent experience
with a Carranza patrol, the United
States troops were in contact with
Mexican federals once previous dur
tachment Of Americans under COM
mand of Captain Thurman Boudinot
was forced to pass a Carranaz column
opposite Indio, Tame.
When the Mexicans were sighted
the Americans took up advantageous
positions, ready for eventualities.
Captain Boudinot informed the Car
rama commander he intended to go
south. The Carranza officer asked
Boudinot for his orders and the latter
told him his orders were to proceed.
He continued then without hindrance,
the expedition reaching a point fifty
miles south of the border.
A request that American troops
should not be sent into Mexico was
received by Colonel LanghOrne. The
request was from General Antonio
Pruneda, commander of the Ojinaga,
Mexico, district. He made his request
through Mexican Consul COsme Ben
gOechea at Preside, where he learned
the Americans were preparing to cross
the border.

TURKISH GRAIN IS ID BE DISTRIBUTED
 BY RELIEF MISSION
Sultan Issues Order for Re- lease of Millions of Bushels Stored in Government
 Warehouses

Constantinople, August 2-(Correspond- ence of the Associated Press)-Ar grain stored in Turkish government ware houses. millions of bushels, has been made available for distribution by the Ameri- can. Commission for Relief in the Near East by Mohamned the sultan of Turkey, following an audience that mon arch has just granted to Major David c Arnold, of Providence, R. l., director of the commission.
 The Sultan, according to Major Arnold expressed his apprecis tion of the Amer can effort to relieve conditions in Turkey and upon the conclusion of the inter view issued an order to the Grand Vizer 10 cooperate with the commission, which now numbers about 450 American workers aided by several thousands assistants.
 The commissions field of operations covers the ent ara 0' Inc " V Tu'i''eh Empire and stations are scattered from Smyrna to Tiflis in the Caucasus. Major Arnold, who. arrived less than two months ago, and who has established headquarters here, was formerly of the famous Rainbow Division in France, and before the war saw service with Ameri- can troops in Mexico. He Is an attorney by profession. The personnel of the com mission includes many former army or ficers.
 The work of the commission involves a monthly expenditure of about s2,5Oo.VOo. Forty-two thousand tons of supplies, in cluding large amount of drugs and valuable hospital eQ'spment, have ai- ready been put to use. In addition the organization has supervised the distribu- tion of 5000 tons of flour for the Food Administration. The supplies have been shipped to Turkey direct from America but their delivery into the interior, 1t IS

said. has involved every conceivable dif- ficulty.
 The chief problems that confront us, said Major Arnold today, "are the care of refugees and orphans. Conditions are particularly acute in Armenia and in the Caucasus. In those areas many cases of starvation have occurred. We are making every effort to deliver supplies to the points in need. During the coming winter there is certain to be an immense oe- mand for clothing. In summer the people can worry along with vegetables and odds and ends of food which are available but in the winter their situation Is bound to be far more serious.

 Jack Thomas, friend of Colonel Roose- welt. spoke briefly of the men who was q real friend, declaring there was no man loved more than was Mir Roosevelt by his friends
 Mrs. Oscar R. Hundley was the next speaker and said Those who knew him loved him; those of us who read him ad- mired him and those of us who couldn't vote for hIn wanted to. l am sure the women of Alabama will cherish this op- portunity to come forward and take their part in raising the money to erect a fit ting memorial to this great big man who stood for the womanhood and childhood of this country. When we visit the mem orial it will be the shrine of the highest type of Americanism, so I know Alabama will do her part in this campaign"
 Thomas J. Crittenden, state chairman for the campaign, spoke briefly of the splendid results being met so far and stated that the United States Would have to hurry as Havana, Cuba, was al ready erecting monument at a cost of s250,000 to the memory of Colonel Roose- welt. We want the ideals of this great man taught in the schools and if this is done thereS will be no red flag floating over us, but the Stars and Stripes will wave forever" He appealed to the peo pie to get behind this campaign and keep Alabama at the top of the ladder, just as she is alphabetically.
 Dr. George R. Stuart made brief talk as did Frank Wiffis Barnett and the benedicton was pronounced by Dr. Bar nett.

PAYS HIGH TRIBUTE
 ID ROOSEVELT AT
 MEMORIAL DINNER
Col. Raymond Robins Lauds Life and Work of Former
 President -Alabamians 7 IndOrse Campaign

theodore Roosevelt was one of the greatest men the world has ever known. and it is to his memory that a fitting monument should be erected, said Col. Raymond Robins at a dinner last night at the Tutwiler hotel when the Roosevelt memorial campaign was opened in Alabama. When the news went over the Wi that Theodore Roosevelt was dead the feeling was that a great man and q great American had fallen but there is something in his life that can never die and will live on and on. He was friend of the people and it is most fitting that all the people should join together now in erecting a monument to his memory.
 'This is non-partisan and non-po- liticai for the national Roosevelt Memorial association is non-partisan in every fiber and we want to erect. a monument to the man in order that his many manly qualities may be fused into the spirit of American youth. To the young the late Colonel Roosevelt was most inspiring. as he seemed to be able to be one of them and to understand them. He was man of high ideals and broad vision and lived each day by doing what he thought was right and best He was a friend to all mankind and was a statesman and leader.
 'Ee had courage, energy. unseifish service. love of country. honor and square dealings. wisdom. righteous ness and was fearless He was friend of the under dog, but would not be dictated to by anyone. He was op posed to the government of this coun- try by any class and believed in gov ernrnent by the whole people. To know him was to love him, and even his enemies respected and admired him for his wonderful courage in do ing the things he thought were right. Many they were who did not think as he did along certain matters, but they know he was sincere in what he did and even they could not help but re- specf him for it.'
