WORLD
WA II
VAR MS
by Lieut.. Fronk E. Hogon
Bv Taxi to the Front

When the Germans started their itr
vasion of Belgium, four American war
correspondents, Irwin s. Cobb, John I.
McCutcheon, Will Irwin and Arno
Bosch Fleurot hurried to Brussels
where, on the morning of August lS,
1914, they engaged taxicab and
started out to find the Belgian army.
By noon they were in the thick of the
fighting but not finding any place In
the territory held by the Belgians
where they wanted to stop they kept
right on going.
Eventually this led them into the
German lines where they were imme-
diateIy taken prisoners and closely
guarded that night. In the morning
they were taken to Gen. Won Bulow's
headquarters. Through his adjutant,
who spoke English. the general de-
manded, "How did you get here?"
"Why, we came in taxicab," replied
one of the four casually. sin a taxi
cab!" exclaimed the general Scott In
Himmell In a taxicab!" At the
thought of these four crazy Ameri-
cans driving in a taxicab straight into
battle and beyond into certain cap
tivity. the general roared with laughter.
The four were inclined to join In
the joke until the general suddenly be-
came stern and let 1t be known that
they were in precariouss ssituation.
He might not shoot them as spies but
there was good chance that they
would be informed for the duration Of
the war.
Finally Cobb, acting as spokesman
for his companions said to the general.
II beg of you, as man to man, shoot us
If you must, but for Gods sake stop
that taxicab meter. It's still running"
For a moment Won Bulow looked
sterner than ever. Then he broke into
a below of laughter and he was still
roaring as he dismissed his captives.
For four days they were detained at
his headquarters, then were sent back
under escort to Brussels.

Excuse It, Please

The Irish have wit which responds
quickly in emergencies-and emergen-
cies always were popping up during
the World war.
Witness the story told by Louis g.
Brubaker, a member of the old Second
Virginia infantry at the time of the
war, to illustrate the point.
NV outfit, the old Second Virginia,
was encamped on the Roanoke (Va.)
fair grounds in 1917, under command
of the late Robert F. Leedy, says
Brubaker.
While we were on guard at the main
entrance to the grounds one day, sew
eral of us were being entertained by
an Irish member of our outfit who was
unusually adept at initiating others.
The talents of this man were directed
principally toward the mimtcry of
idiots. His favorite pose for this
"act' was to hold one hand against
his chest, with eyes rolling and mouth
agape-too ridiculous for description.
| He was in this attitude when the
colonel and his staff suddenly refined
up before u.s. We snapped into
salute but our comrade was too alb
sorbed in his acting to even notice the
visitors.
The colonel sat his horse for some
moments, looking down at the Irish
man, before the latter became aware
Of what was happening. When he saw
the colonel however, the Irish soldier
retained his silly pose.
The officer was amused and aston
ished, 1t was evident. There was
twinkle in his eye as he roared: "How
in the blank-blank did you ever get
into this mans army?"
Without batting an eye, the SOL
dier's Irish wit came to his rescue.
The mimic replied instantly: "Sir,
they enlisted me over the telephone
A Narrow Squeak Rather!
On August IL, 1918, Maj Reed G.
Lands of Chicago, then lieutenant
and on the way to becoming Americas
second ace, hoped off with his fellow
war birds in search of the enemy
squadron.
They found twenty hostile flyers
high above the lines of advancing AL
lied infantry. For twenty minutes the
opposing groups played game of
aerial hide-and seek, each trying to-
outmaneuver the other. Then Landis
and his companions cornered some Of
the enemy planes, twelve miles behind
their own lines. The fighting began.
Suddenly Lands, who was separated
from his mates saw a German plane
swooping down for him, point blank.
He swerved his own plane toward the
enemy and gave 'er the gas"
Neither hesitated. Both planes were
meeting as though held to an invisible
track. The faces Of the pilots were
almost together when, suddenly
The German plane rocked Sharply
spun dizzily. and whirling like a top
crashed to the forest directly below,

Hairs Growth After Death

Certain claims have been made that
in rare cases hair has been proved to
have grown after death. The United
States public health service has stated
there are no authentic records of such
cases. The widespread belief in this
growth is held to be caused by the
shrinking of the skin toward the roots
Of the hairs, giving an appearance Of
hair growth. The same may be said
with regard to growth Of nails.

BRIDGE PLAYERS
 ARE INTERESTED
 IN THIS CONTEST
CulbertsOn-Lenz Battle of the Contract Bidding Systems to Be Decided in New York Hotel
BY H. ALLEN SMITH

Chttu 1ECSS OUuu NOTECoDOliuCnbs
 New York, Dec 3.-(UP)- Special telegraph wires were being set up in the Hotel Chatham to- world complete, rubber-by- ru bber accounts of the -Lenz battle of the contract bidding sys- tems.
 Powerful lamps are being installed in Ely Culbertson's apart ment, where the grudge fight will open Monday night, in order that the contestants may discern with out error the nature of the cards they hold, and contract bridge players, from coast to coast, await with deep concern the opening deal.
 Sidney s Lenz, the iniddle-aged, bespectacled veteran of whist and auction days, has chosen Oswald Jacoby as his partner. Culbertson, the suave, shrewd, lean proponent of the approach-forcing system, who speaks with Russian accent and who brought high-pressure business methods into the realm of bridge. will have his wife, Jo- sephine, as partner.
 They will play 150 rubbers in all, eight rubbers an evening, four evenings a week. They will meet each Monday, Tuesday, Thursday and Saturday at D. m.
 For more reasons than one the contest is attracting national, even international, attention. A grudge fight, in which both sides are bitetrly antagonistic has always been interesting to behold, even in such forms as the feud between the Montagues and the Capulets.
 There can be no gainsaying that Culbertson and LenZ do not care for one another They have been at swords point ever since Lenz led a revolt against Culbertson's domination of the contract bridge field, and put forth the official system as its chief weapon against the young expert.
 They took to squabbling until Culbertson announced he would wager $5,000 against $1,000 that he, playing his approach-for system, could beat Lenz and the official system.
 The day of battle approaches.
 Three referees-R. J. Leiben- derfer, Fred l.. Rogan and Lieut. A. M Gruenther VIII be In the room with the players during play. A number of clerks also will be pres ent. Newspapermen, according to present plans, will not be in the room because visitors might dis tract the players.
 Couriers will carry news of the battle to an adjoining press room, where thousands of words will be sent over the wires. Bulletins will be issued after each rubber.
 A 15-minute broadcast over a nationwide network has been arr ranged at the opening session for introduction of the players and of short talks. There will be newsreel pictures.
 Rules provide for many contin- gencies For example, provision Is made that one side or the other cannot deliberately slow up the play and cause the match to run beyond six weeks duration. All protests must be made in writing within "A hours after the matter in question occurs.
 All four players have been signed to write their own versions of the contest for various syndicates but
