HOW FOCH CAME TO COMMAND
French genius trlumphed not only
on the field of nattle but in the
conception and organization OF war.
II was from France that went forth
the first and most pressing appeals
for that military and economic unity
OF command which, In 1918. turned
the long -wavcring scales in favor OF
the allies. From the end OF 1915,
the French parliament had made
insistenCe upon unity Of command

step forward. But that was not
enough. As soon as he assumed

count on President Wilson's aid.
On the other hand opposition was

the American and French govern

of unity of command, several

Stories of
Great Scouts

Belly DODD, THE IMAM WHO
SCALPS HIMSELF"

Some historians have asserted that
Belly Dodd was myth, but some Of
the old scouts who knew him we'll
do not agree with them. ASK some
Of the Injuns who raided along the
old Santa Fe trail about The Man
Who Scalps HIMSELF" they said, with
q laugh. Like California Joe, Dodd
was practical joker, and one Of his
jokes once defeated band of Indians
and saved wagon train from the
horrors of massacre.
Dodd was guiding caravan Of
traders to Santa Fe. AT night they
parked their wagons in a circle with
the mules corralled inside to prevent
their being stampeded IL Indians at
tackled. Outside the circle guards
were posted to give warning at the
first appearance of savage.
Just before daylight one morning
the traders were awakened by a shot,
and rushed out to find guard lying
wounded on the ground. In the next
Instant a band of Pawnees charged
down on the train. A fierce battle fol.
lowed. The Indians who attacked
the train were REINFORCED by larger
band and In short time 1t became
evident that the train, whose defend
ers were hopelessly outnumbered, was
doomed Suddenly Dodd, whose rife
had Hnnnknd hu
painted warrior, threw aside his weap-
on and dashed outside the circle Of
wagons.
Howling fiendishly, he rushed into
the midst Of the charging Pawnees.
Before the Indians could recover from
their surprise at his bold act, Dodd
whipped out his long knife, ran II
around the edge of his hair, and with
q wild yell, tore off his shock Of black
hair and waved 1t about his head.
1t was too much for the Pawnees.
With howl Of terror, they broke and
ran. Dodd was swift runner-he
could hold his own In running beside
a galloping buffalo, 1t Is said-and he
pursued the frightened redskins
shrleking and waving his scalp" un
til they left him far behind. A wig
had saved a wagon train
After that time any wagon train
which Belly Dodd guided over the
Santa Fe trail was safe If the Indians
saw Dodd In the lead. They had nc
use for man who could scalp him
self and still live.
Wat became of Belly Dodd an(
where he died Is as much a myster!
as his birth and early life. He played
his little role as comedian In thu
drama Of the West, and then, like man!
greater actors, he passed on and wal
soon forgotten.

OLD BILL HAMILToN'S STRANGE
DUEL WITH AN ENCLISHMAN

One of the greatest Of the Old-time
mountain men In western history was
William L. Hamilton, or "Old Bill"
Hamilton as he was known In the
early days In Montana. His strange
duel with an Englishman Is historic
Old Bill had offended the Englishman
in some way, and the Britisher chal-
lenged him to duel.
"All right; I'll fight you'll" said Old
Bill. "But / get to name the weap'
ons and rules for the fight"
The Englishman agreed, and this
is what Hamilton decided Each man
was to strip to the skin, go out to the
Yellowstone river, and with an ak
chop a hole in the Ice. Then the two
men were to get down In these holes
and sit In the water up to their shout
ders. The first to leave this icy bath
was the loser
The contest began. The Englishman
stood It for a few minutes. Then
with wild yell he leaped out and,
with his teeth chattering, ran for a
house and stove as fast as he could.
Old Bill followed close on his heels,
calling the shivering Britisher every
name In his vocabulary. Old Bill was
declared winner of the duel. 1t had
been no hardship for Hamilton. He
had lived among the Indians and was
as hardy as they. He is said to have
been the only white man of his time
who could strip naked, take bow and
arrows and shoot buffalo from horse
back as well az the savages, with
whom he lived.
Hamilton finally settled down at
Fort Benton, Mont, where he opened
a log cabin hotel and butcher shop.
The governor Of Montana appointed
him sheriff Of Choteau county, and he
was also deputy United States mar.
shall. In 1855 the governor asked him
to visit the Crow and Gros Ventre In
dams and persuade them to come In
to Fort Benton to make peace.
But how can gol" said Old Bill
II have to look after my eatn' house
and butcher shop and tend to my duties
as sheriff and marshal I've got two
prisoners on hand now and no jail to
keep EN- In"
Finally he consented and, accom-
panied only by an Indian boy, he made
the dangerous trip. After series Of
exciting adventures he returned In
safety, bringing the two tribes with
him TO the council.
Old Bill died In 1908 at the age Of
eighty-six. he was always proud OF
the fact that he had been scout FOR
the United States army, and to the
day Of his death he kept the Stars
and Stripes floating over the little Loo
cabin where he lived.
