Made Baapipss Useful.

An old adventurer who passed away
In Australia at the age of ninety. -four,
was the only man I've known, says a
correspondent, to put bagpipes to a
useful purpose. After being captured
when the Eureka stockade fell, he
Joined the Victoria police, and was
largely responsible for the capture Of
the bushranger "Jewboy." He was then
appointed second-ln-command Of an
expedition that set out to find traces
Of Leichardt (another bushranger) /,
and he used to tell that one day the
party was surprised by 200 natives,
with hostile intent, whereupon one Nc
Intosh yelled: 'The pipes, Charlie, the
pipes-whlle we retreat" The old ad.
venturer played the pIpes-and the
natives were so mystifled that they
stood open.mouthed while the party
marched of.

LEGION HoHoRED ALL DEAD

At Final lntsrmsnt Of Men

Army transports in which many Of

1900 A. q. #. dead, those relatives
had requested to be returned to this
country for permanent burial. The
graves registration service Of the
army, which had the work Of return.
ing these bodies In charge, did an al
most superhuman task. But this
service could not give the comradely
human touch to the handling Of these
bodies after they reached the United
States that seemed due them.
No organization was 20 well suited
to perform the last rights Of honor
and respect for these seldier dead %
was the American Legion. The men Of
the Legion took upon themselves the
obligation. Forty ship loads Of bodies
came to eastern ports during q period
Of two and a halt years. It was not
always possible to have an elaborate
service, because the arrivals were too
frequent. but in every instance there
was at least a prayer by a chaplain
Of the Protestant, Catholic or Jewish
faith, an address by prominent citi-
zen or army officer and rife salute.
A number Of times, however, the
services were noteworthy. President
Harding delivered an address at
services arranged by the Legion. May
q, 1921, when the Princess Matoika
arrived with 451 bodies. General
Pershing and Senator Lodge spoke
when the Somme and the Wheaton ar.
rived, July 10. 1921. with 1000 dead
The last cargo Of bodies arrived In
Brooklyn. in April, 1922, on the Cam

fantry, Thirteenth division. was borne
on caisson through the streets, lined
with silent thropgs, to the army base,
where simple ceremonies marked the
close Of the last public demonstration
