one who braved odds. Queer the
ideas kids get. Queer the way they
stick with a chap as he grows older.
At any rate, I was with Old Gen.
Jake's outfit at Lameraux. Remem-
ber Lameraux? Sure, Gen. Jake got
his biggest medal for what happened
at Lameraux.
Lameraux's a village, you know.
We'd been occupying it for a week.
Our position wasn't strong. We knew
that when the Germans got around
to it, they'd move in on us. We were
all set to scram. That's a queer
thing about Gen. Jake. He always
cleared out when there was . chance
of getting his hide punctured. I sup
pose it's considered strategy-not tax
ing chances.
Well, sir, the day before the Boche
moved in-of course, we didn't know
it was the day before until later
up comes q messenger from head
quarters with instructions for Gen.
Jake to hold 1ameraux as long as he
could. I mean, headquarters knew
Gen. Jake's tactics and they didn't
want him walking out without some
show of resistance.
Gen. Jake smiled thinly to himself
and tore the orders into little pieces
and threw the pieces away. And
then the next day the Germans moved
In. We had ample warning. Every
thing was in readiness for hasty
and efficient retreat. OF course, the
smart thing to do was to blow up the
bridge, which offered the only means
Of approach, before quitting the vii
lAge, thereby impeding the Germans
no end. Every one expected orders
to that effect, but Gen. Jake had .
sly look In his eyes. He was think
ing of those orders from headquar-
ters, I guess, and thinking what folks
might say II he retreated ~ he
planned. .-.
60 INSTEAD Of ordering the bridge
blown up, he issued some hur-
ried instructions. Then he started
the retreat. Two miles up the road
he circled the outfit and headed back
through some woods. We waited at
the edge Of the woods for an hour,
watching the Germans cross the
bridge into the village. Then Gen.
Jake sent . messenger scampering
of to the field station he had estab-
lished.
Ten minutes later there was . ter
rifle explosion. The bridge new into
the air like kindltng wood. The Ger

months that present backlogs assure

and early 1899 at least, according to
a new study appearing in Poor's In

Military demand, currently the
largest single source OF business,

by the United States Army and Navy
for new airplanes, versus $4S,00O,0O

the pressure of Government rearma-

Government contracts unfortu-
nately provide planes manufacturers
with a much narrower profit margin
than is obtainable in the civil field.
Accordingly, in estimating individual
concerns earnings prospects. the ma
ture rather than the volume of un.
filled orders on hand must be deter
mined. Those manufacturers with q
substantial backlog Of civil orders OBJ

ON THUMB TRIP
SPECTACLE HAS ELE-
MENTS OF FRONT PAGE
TRAGEDY
Mother Carries Year-and Half Old In
FAINT; Father Packs Three Year Old
Twins; Six-Year-Old Son Trudges
Along Behind; $50 Expenses Donated.

Somewhere on the Montana end
OF the dreary trek from Kalispell
to Fergus Falls, Mimi, there is a
pathetic spectacle that has in il
the elements Of a front page
tragedy.
To the Flathead valley last fall came
hr. and MRS, George M. Bye. Jobless
and penniless they came afoot all the
way from Portland, Ore,-She Juggling
their year and half old infant, he
packing their three-year-old twins and
such food as they could forage, while
their stx-year-old lad trudged behind.
Take Old Cabin For Home
They moved into an old cabin on the
Grubb place near Lakeside. One Wav
or another they managed to keep body
and soul together, mother, father and
four youngsters. But things got no
better The father found no work; they
were destitute and without friends
They applied TO the county commits
sionerS for help and the commissioners
offered to assist them back to their
home in Portland. But there was a
hitch, some information the Portland
authorities wanted which could not be
furnished. Moreover the Byes did not
want to return to Portland. There was
nothing in Portland for them. Less than
six months ago they had left the place
afoot. To them the city Of roses was
only a bitter memory. But they had
relatives in Fergus Falls, MINI. The
county commissioners gave them 500.
WIN Need Good Fortune
Later, it was learned, they started, |
ather, mother and babies, for Minne- |
ota, afoot with $40. With extraordinary |
GOD fortune they may arrive; with !
Inything less the story must end In |
