Thought the Americans had taken
it. It looked deserted enough. We
climbed up hill at the end of the
town, when 'Put-put-put! and bull
let's began to fly all around us. We
turned and ran as hard as we
could. There was no stopping un-
til we reached little ravine. Here
we crouched for a second to get
our breath. It was a bad stop.
There had been gas attack, and
some of the stuff had collected in
this low place. AS soon as we
.smelled it we moved ON. But it had
gotten into our lungs. We reached
the aerdrome all right, but we were
green and sick by the time we got
there. I went to hospital for only
four days, but the other chap was
in for three weeks"
Lieutenant Kol|b spent seventy
five hours over the lines. He shot
down two enemy planes, fell once
in No Mans Land, and another
time escaped after surrounded by
seven hostile machines. On this
occasion his ship was riddled with
bullets which tore the clothes OF
both himself and his pilot. Yet
neither one suffered scratch.

Shellpot. The building of this
stretch of highway, however, is
conditional ON the action of the
Wilmington and Philadelphia
Traction Company.
At present the trolley tracks are
laid ON the side of the road. The
Highway Commissioners Will not
consent, it is understood to road
being built unless the trolley COM
pany will lay track i'm the mid
die of the road. This will be an
added convenience to autoists and
others, and will prevent much con-
fusion and perhaps accidents,
keeping travellers of all sorts Ito
the right side of the road.
The Commissioners are hoping
to construct road from the Viii
mington city line; the city will be
asked to build a road from Market
Street bridge to the city lime, a
distance of two miles.
Another stretch of contemplated
new road, lies between the Cause
way bridge and Tybout's corner,
to make the stone road complete
from Wilmington ito Middletowm,

route rather than through Odessa.

PROGRAM
Will Hold Meeting This Week
to Perfect Plans

to Perfect Plans
The program of the State High
way Commission, it is understood,
will comprise the building of 90
miles of new highway in addition
to the completion of that already
started.
While more definite "details will
be available after the meeting to
be held the last of this week it is
said that the new highways are
likely ito be built of concrete, ex-
cept those leading into Wilmington
from the north and south. Because
of the relaxation through the
wars ending, and the gradual re-
adjustment of labor and materials
into a more normal state, it is ex-
pected, that the contracts for
building roads, will not be as ex-
orbitant this year as in the past
two years.
In New Castle county, aside
from the projects already under
taken, the Highway Commission
ers, it is said, are contemplating
asking for bids for the completion
of a road from the city lime to

quested."
Each soldier who does not re-
turn to mis- old job is handled
either from the camp Office or by
a registration system which gives
him time to get home and look
about before getting in touch with
the local office of the U. S. En-
ployment Service. A letter reaches
him after he returns home, telling
him where to apply. Failing TO do
so, the local Employment Office is
instructed to look the man up and
keep in touch with him.

SPEEDY PLACEMENT
OF SOLDIERS AT
CAMP SHERMAN
u. S. Employment Service
Finds Jobs Within "a
Hours of Discharge

Placement of soldiers within "a
hours of rehabilitation is the re-
cord claimed by the camp repre-
sentatives of the U. S. Employment
Service at Camp Sherman, Ohio,
in a telegraphic report to the De-
partment recently. The report in
diactes that, like Camp Devens
and many other demobilization
camps, the work at Sherman is pro-
ceeding with great rapidity.
Speed in handling men, eager to
return TO civil employment, has
proved to- be of particular value,
the representative says. At Camp
Sherman rehabilitation ceremony
is held each day for the men to be
released the following day, these
men being cordially urged to make
use of the Employment Service at
camp and in their home commun-
tiles. The representatives report
that more than so per cent of the
Ohio men can be placed directly
from his office at the camp. A full
list of thousands of available jobs,
together with definite information
on housing conditions are on file
in that office. On the day the SOL
dier is released a letter lis sent TO
his former employer. Quoting
from the report recently the re-
preventative says: ''The faith
shown by demobilized men in these
letters has been so great, and the
personal follow-up SO prompt that
messenger service has been es-
tablished from the camp to Column
bus, 80 miles away, to make sure
of getting these letters mailed to
the employer before the applican
reaches him. Acknowledgements

"CIVE EN- A GOLD
MINE" SAYS THE WEST
Uncle Sam Should Open Re.
serves to Returning
Soldiers

Nothing is too good for the boys
now returning from France and
Uncle Sam will do we'll to open the
numerous reserves throughout the
nation to them and let the future
generation take care of themselves
much along the line we have had
to look out for ourselves. Let per-
sonal initiative take the place of
bureaucratic government. Let
Uncle Sam unwind some of the red
tape that has been holding back
the developmnt of the West for
the past several years. The plates
of some of these perpetual Office
holders should be moved from the
public pie counter and returning
soldier boys given the opportunity
to share in the soft jobs of the
country they saved. The nation
does not want any Coxey armies
marching through the country next
summer. This is the time to open
the gates for the boys coming back
SO they may make their way in this
land of plenty. Professional con-
servation agitators will have to
stand aside and allow the boys to
make their new homes on lands
now tied up. Uncle Sam through
the president and congress owes
these boys a debt that can never be
repaid. The best that Uncle Sam
has is none too good for them and
cretainly they are entitled to share
in the riches of mining, camp and
oil field if they are willing to de-
velop these riches.
Let the government reclaim the
desert lands that President Wilson
refers to. The soldier boy, when
he lays down his rifle, is not in a
position financially to do so. And
another way to help these return
ing heroes is for congress to put
up the bars against foreign i'm
ports of tungsten, manganese,
molybdenum and other metals SO
that more men can be employed in
the mines Of the West and pros
poets can be profitably developed
into mines. The problem of provid-
ing opportunity for the soldier
boys is a big one and no matter
whose toes are trampled upon,
Uncle Sam must provide the oppor-
tunity for every one of these
heroes to live and prosper and en-
joy life.-Daily Mining and FL

Government Round
Up Draft Deserters

The government has announced
that roundup of draft evaders will
be shortly commenced, and all men
who should have reported for mill
tary service and have no excuse for
not reporting will be punished.
Fifteen lists Of the names of men
called who failed to report have been
drawn up, and in fourteen Of these
lists are the men for whose delin-
quency excuses have been discovered.
These men will be recommended to
release from the charge Of desertion.
The fifteenth list contains those con-
sidered as real deserters and they arc
the men the government is looking
for.
According to the provost marshal
generals report, some 474,861 men
were reported for desertion of whom
1889 were found to be explain
able, they having Joined some other
branch Of the military service, or in
an allied army, or who reported and
went to camp, or were inducted thru
error, men who have died, and a
number of other classifications. Il
has been the policy of the war de-
partment to prosecute only slackers
who were found to be willful ones.
Ten thousand prosecutions for fail
ure to register have been instituted,
and some are still pending. About
6l,S3S cases were reported as dis
posed Of, and the remaining number
has been reduced by those who sur
rendered or were apprehended.
