CHAPTER xI.-contInued.

1t was about the middle of the fol-
lowing afternoon when the Adventurer
poked her blunk nose around a point of
land, and came into full view of the
squalld hamlet of Yellow Banks. A
half-hour later we lay snuggled up
against the shore, holding position
amid several other boats made fast
TO stout trees, busily unloading, and
their broad gangplanks stretching from
forward deck to bank. The roust-
aDouts began unloading cargo at once,
steady stream of men, black and
white, burdened with whatever load
they could snatch up, moving on an
endless run across the stiff plank, and
up the low bank to the drier summit.
II Glanced to be my good fortune to
escape this labor. having been detailed
by Mapes to drag boxes, bales and bar
rels forward to where he hurrying
bearers could grasp them more read

werd stairs, down which the departing
passengers strooped, threading their in
secure way among the trotting labor
ers, In an effort to get ashore.
Reynolds troops. all militia, and the
greater part Of them mounted, were an
extremely sorry-looking lot-sturdy
enough physically, Of the pioneer type,
but bearing little soldierly appearance,
and utterly ignorant of discipline. The
lmen had chosen officers from out their
own ranks by popular election, and
these exercised their authority very
largely through physical prowess.
We had an excellent illustration of
this soon after tying up at the landing.
"A tall. lank, ungainly officer, with a
face so distinctly homely as to instant
ly attract my attention, led his COM
pany of men up the river bank, and
ordered them to transport the pile of
commissary stores from where they
had been promiscuously thrown to a
drier spot farther back. The officer
was captain, to judge from certain
stripes of red cloth sewed on the
shoulders of his brown jean blouse,
but his men were far from prompt in
obeying his command, evidently hav-
ing no taste for the job. One among
them, apparently their ringleader In
iincipient mutiny. an outstanding bully
with the jaw Of prize fighter: took 1t
upon himself openly to defy the officer,
exclaiming profanely that he'd be id
if he ever enlisted to do niger work.
The others laughed, and joined in the
revolt. until the captain unceremoni-
ously flung Off his blouse. thus divest.
ing himself of every vestige of rank.
and proceeded to enforce his authority.
IT was a battle royal, the soldiers
crowding eagerly about, and yelling
encouragement impartially first to one
combatant, and then another.

once more, but gruffiy enough, leaning

hoarse whisper.

Dry CLEANING,

In sending the kimono to the dry

ceded by the pulling out of the bast-

Solitude.

What period do you think 1 recall
most frequently and most willingly
in my dreams? Not the pleasures Of
my youth they are too rare, too much
mingled with bitterness and now too
distant. l recall the period of my Sc

fieeting but delicious days that have
passed entirely by myself, with my
beloved dog, my old cat, with the
birds of the field, the binds of the
forest, with all nature and her incon,

American Delegates in Paris
Sent Victory Message
to Nation

Four members of the American peace
mission in France, Secretary of State
Robert Lansing, Col. E. NJ House.
General Tasker N. Bliss and Henry
White, have sent this message to the
American people urging support CT the
Victory Loan:
ITO THE AMERICAN PEOPLE:
I'VE have had the opportunity here
in France to see and realize the mag
nltude OF the accomplishment q our
country in this war and the magnificent
spirit with which this great task has
been carried through to a triumphant
issue.
What has been done and what re-
mains to be done before normal con-
ditlons are restored demand your COL
tinued and united support with thu
same spirit of self sacrifice and of de-
termination as that which was mani
tested by the nation while the German
armies faced our men at the Marne,
and in the Champagne, at St Mihiel
and in the Argonne. We must not re-
lax our efforts until every soldier of
the republic is landed on the soil of
America.
TO finish this mighty task imposes
upon the government of the United
States great financial burden. The
Victory Liberty Loan must thrive. If
it should fail it would indicate that the
Nation is willing to leave it's task un-
completed.
ITO secure the ideals for which
Americans fought and died this great
demand on national patriotism and
united effort should meet generous
and universal response. Let us do our
duty to the end.

SHOT 9 TIMES
SOLDIER TAKES
HUN TRENCHES
Corporal Storms Heights of
Ourcq River With Rem
nants of His Platoon

AT the direction of the War Depart
ment General Pershing has forwarded
from France accounts of 100 deeds of
heroism performed by soldiers Of the
American forces, most typical of the
spirit Of our army. The story of Cor
poral Sidney Manning is one of con-
spicuous gallantry.
Corporal Manning was in charge of
an automatic rifle squad when his bat
TALON assaulted the heights of the
Ourcq River. During the advance on
the hill Manning's platoon commander
was killed, and just as the line reached
the crest of the hill the platoon SER
geant fell.
Corporal Manning then assumed
command of the platoon. Though he
himself was severely wounded and was
the only survivor of his squad, this SOL
dier led forward the 35 remaining men
of the platoon against an enemy
strong point, wired, entrenched and
defended by machine guns, which dopl-
mated the Ourcq valley. He was re-
peatedly wounded but with seven mon
took the position. While his men con-
solidated the line he held off consid-
cradle number of the enemy fifty yards
away with his rifle When the posi-
ton had been consolidated he crawled
back to shelter, having received nine
wounds.
Backing up such examples of sacri-
flee as this the government is calling
on the people to take the Victory Loan
to pay for the expenses of our war
time army.

.ASSHOT IN BATTLE
Manner In Which RathdTum
Man Died.

In the Spokesman Review of Tues,
day, April %, Colin V. Dyment,
historian of the 9lst division. tells df
the manner In which Corporal Clar-
ence Sylvester Of RAthdrum met his
death 10 the battle of the orchard at
Epinonville, Sept. 81, 1918, during
the great American advance that led
to Sedan and victory. Sylvester was
in company G, 36lst infantry. After
describing the death OF Private Harry
Johnson OF the same company the
writer says:
"a northern Idaho man was next
to 90. Corporal Clarence Sylvester Of

becoming diSorganized by the frontal
fire and was advancing too slowly to
suit Capt. Ira Goodpasture of Oregon

Corporal Sylvester and part of bis
squad. About $50 feet beyond where
Johnson was lying Sylvester was shot
10 the head by a machine gun or
sniper He was standing when shot
and died instantly. His mother is
Mrs. AL. ] Sylvester of Rathdrum." :"
The narrative states that nine G
men were killed 10 this attack. The
company was then withdrawn and a
barrage was laid down In the orchard
to clean out the German snipers and
machine gun nests. Captain Good
pasture was shot in the leg and had
to be carried back.
