Opar lay a good twenty-five days trek from the
Greystoke estates. Upon the return Journey laden
as they would be with the ingots of gold, their
progress would be slower. Because of this the ape
man had allowed two months for the venture. They
carried no supplies. All hunters and were
moving through an abundant game country. A
thorn bona and few leaves provided their shell
ter by night. Spears, arrows and the powers Of
their great white chief were all the equipment they
needed

Midafternoon Of the third week Tarzan ranging far
ahead Of his blacks in search Of game came sud-
denly upon the carcass of Bara the deer. A feath-
cred arrow protruded from the animals flank.
What caught the attention of the ape-man was the
arrows design. When he withdrew 1t he was filled
with wonderment for he knew it not OF native
make. What had brought that slight weapon from
some civilized city's sporting goods house into the
heart of savage Africa? Tarzan's curiosity was
aroused. Also his inherent jungle caution.

He Stood on His Rights

Constant reference is made to the
effectiveness of British laws in com
parison with our own. According to an
American who served with the British
army, the "limeys" also knew how to
avoid regulations when necessary.
This American had horror Of vac
cination. He heard with delight 1t was
not compulsory in England, not even
in the army. Any soldier had the right
to refuse.
When vaccination parade formed the
American told the officer he objected to
being vaccinated. "T'hat is your priv
ilege," the officer assured. "But fall
in" When the parade reached the hos
pital hut, the American Informed the
orderly that 1t was his privilege to
refuse vaccination. "Quite right" said
the orderly. "Roll up the left sleeve"
The next orderly had stripes and an
air of authority. So to him the Amer
lean, beginning to be alarmed, spoke
out like true Britisher, with spirit
and determination. While daubing the
exposed arm with iodine the orderly
agreed with every word. Then came
the doctor.
Sir" protested the soldier, II under
stand that vaccination is optional, and
I wish to be exempted"
"You are correctly informed" cor
daily rejoined the doctor, busily vac
cinating him.
sand do you know" relates the SOL
der who was the principal actor in,
this war incident, 81 was SO indignant
over the whole affair that forgot to
pass out-a thing had always done
before when anyone got after me with
a needle"

Winning the "Cigar Lighter

One of those outfits whose duties
forbade the privilege of whanging
back at the enemy with bullet or shell
was the first A. p. F.. unit to win the
French fourragere, decoration more
commonly referred to as "cigar
lighter" This group was originally
Section Sanftaire Americana No. 5
which later became s. S. GAG. q. S. A.
A. Sin palmer English, an ambu-
lance unit.
The organization was made posi-
BILE through the use of Americans to
man borrowed automobiles for trans
porting wounded from the field in the
early days of the war.
Two citations are necessary before
the 'cigar lighter" may be worn. Sec
ton No. 5 won the first of these
year before we entered the conflict, 1t
being awarded April 3, 1916. for eleven
days evacuation of wounded in
particularly hot zone of the verdun
struggle.
The second citation, also the four
rageres, came November 30, 1917, for
services during daring French stroke
along the famous Ladies Road"
Chemin DIES Danes.
A part Of the citation on this occa-
sion is in appreciation of heroic serv-
ices by a unit which does not fight.
And it mentions that the award was
conferred by the French government
for "the richest sense of duty 1t as
sured in minimum of time, despite
great material difficulties, the evacua-
tion of all the wounded of it's division
over roads hardly practicable and I'M
der a violent bombardment."

The Germans "Black Day"
by Lieut.. Frank E. Hogon

august s, 1918, was the Black day
of the German army in the history OF
the war;" The words are those of
Ludendorff, the German general. And
he Should know. Although the Allied
commensurate Of July Is, 1918, made
by the Americans and the French Is
now agreed upon by most historians
as the turning point of the war;" the
push of the British on August is
close second in Importance.
After July fS Ludendorff had by no
means lost hope of yet winning the
war. But after August 8 he had. 1t
made him take the respondent view
that 'The war would have to be
ended" and it led the kaiser to say. II
see that we must strike balance. We
are at the end Of our resources. The
war must be ended"
Credit for August 8 belongs to Sir
Douglas Haig the British commander,
and it was British troops who gained
the most brilliant victory that they
had yet won during the World war.
Under his direction the counter attack
swept forward covering from six to
eight miles the first day and taking
10000 prisoners. BY the time the
offensive had ended on August Il,
there was a total of $1,000 German
prisoners and the British had pene-
trated the enemy-held territory II
miles. 1t had fattened out the nose"
and indented "cheek" of the Arras-
NEUTRALITY-SUSPICIOUS. salient, held by the
Germans, and even though it had not
reached any vital link in the enemy's
communications, it "unhinged the mind
and morale of the German supreme
command" and never again did it have
hope Of ultimate victory.
The success of this drive was made
possible by the utmost secrecy which
preceded it and the element of sur
prise. Instead of opening the ball
with grand salvo of artillery, the
British let loose a swarm of tanks,
more than $50 in number, and these
clanking, snorting engines Of war led
the soldiers to victory. The secrecy
before 1t began was so great that not
even the war cabinet in London knew
anything about it.

A water permit for the Roza recla-
nation project, the largest unit plan.
ned under the Yakima river irrigation
program and the fourth unit to be ap-
proved by the state within week,
was issued to the federal reclamation
bureau by Charles r. Bartholet, state
supervisor of hydraulics. The permit
authorized the bureau to appropriate
1850 cubic second feet Of water from
the Yakima river for use on the 5000

The recent heavy rain at Wenatchee

And now, ladies and gentle.
men of the invisible audience,
may I present one of the best
radio yarns broadsided this way
IN many moons. First we must
inform you that radio stars, as
well as stage and screen stars,
have their doubles. This is the
story Of how a certain young
man got a job as double for one
OF the greatest announcers on
the air. For the purposes of our
narrative we will call him Steele.
We are pledged to absolute
secrecy as to the identity of the

must go on-he dashed to the
scene. Picking up the program
he made the opening announce
ment-the concert began. Before
the first selection was played the
real announcer had been revived
and was able to continue. But
