INDIANAPOLIS, May 31.-The
9th annual 500mile automobile
race over the Indianapolis Speedway
brought death to one former winner
and a second victory to another.
Wilbur Shaw, dapper 37-year- old
Indianapolis driver, who won the
1887 race, finished first again yes
terday before 145,000 spectators to
boost his prize money to s7l 300 in
nine races and become the leading
money winner of Speedway history.
Floyd Roberts. 80. Van Nuys
(Calif) airplane factory worker who
won last year and had planned to
quit racing after yesterday was in
jured fatally in a three-car pileup
on the track Two other drivers and
two spectators were hurt, too, but
were expected to recover.
Meyer Ill Luck Victim.
Louis Meyer OF Huntington Park,
Calf, three time winner, lost out
with his fourth victory almost with
in his grasp. His car was leading
by lap with only three 2l2 mile
laps to go when tire went fiat and
the car spun on a turn. Later,
Meyers mount stalled and he went
out of the race.
Because officials slowed the cars
down for half hour while the track
was cleared of Wreckage, the record
of l172 miles an hour which Roberts
set in the 1888 classic was not bro
ken. Shaw's winning speed was
ll5.035 miles an hour.
The race throughout was a three
way fight for the lead among the
three drivers in the front roW-Shaw

Opening Of Modern Battle

between the point and the advance
guard, In this case nearly q bat
talon Of infantry, marching easily
in column of twos. There are oc-
casional machine gun carts along
the column. Then come more Of
the widely spaced connecting files
and finally, perhaps two miles back
OF the point, we begin to find in
creasing concentrations Of the in
fantry, the soldiers stretched out
on the ground at their ease under
the trees and bushes or in the
bitches. Among them are signal
men with rolls of wire, cutters, tape,
field telephones and mass Of gear.
Along the column, in addition, are
soldiers who carry on their backs
portable radios, with collapsible
shiny antenna, like fishing poles,
swaying high above their heads.
These are the "talkie-walkies"
If we continued farther back we
would soon come to the field artil-
lery and at this stage of the pro-
ceedings probably would find the
guns unlimbered in the edges of
bits of woods and thickets, their
slender muzzles trained of across
the fields to the east or peering of
down narrow country roads to the
north and south.
Men Take Cover.
But it is time to get back along
the road to the east, where the point
is swinging over just a bit OF rise in
the road and beginning to get view
across the long easy slope up to the
right which ends in a fringe of
woods on the horizon, with the
cleaning trunks of two graceful
white birches out in front.
Suddenly, far ahead, from a clump
of bushes where the paved road
swings to the left and the dirt road
continues ahead toward Champlain
and the Vermont Hills. there is a
sharp crack, much like the sound Of
board slapped down on table top
and the faintest trace of blue smoke
drifts across the road. The men of
the point step into the cover of
bushes, rocks or shoulders of earth

crouching figure slipping along-a
patrol out to flank the enemy guns
In the edge Of the woods.
No Flags Flying.
Now the enemy in front Identifies
himself; mounted horsemen are seen
riding along the front Of the woods
and through the fields of to the
left. Cavalry-the 10lst, from New
York City's famous National Guard
outfit.
But nowhere are there any flags
flying, no men charging, nothing
that IL in any way spectacular.
There Is just mounting din Of the
rifles and machine guns. Now our
thanking patrol makes itself evident

finds things getting a bit too hot
and moves OF down the dirt road
and disappears behind q bend. The

their clatter. Our men snake along
through the weeds and bushes and
along the walls, only momentarily
visible even from our point Of
vantage. The firing line advances
almost imperceptibly and the big
push is on again.
Here is the opening Of a modern
battle into which our most advanced
weapons and methods have been
poured. Nothing very spectacular.

FIELD HEADQUARTERS, 1st
Division, near Saranac, N. Y, Aug.
pa warm sun streams from a
sky In which scattered, fleecy clouds
| trace a peaceful pattern on the
blue. On all sides stretch wide
fields, some mellow gold with rip
ened, waving wheat. Through the
fields runs a ribbon of dark road,
nearly east and west.
Looking along this road to the
east we see that it turns rather
sharply to the north, swinging of
out of sight beyond a clump of
bushes and the rustling wheat. But
narrow dirt lane, soft and warm
under the sun, continues on to the
east through an increasingly wooded
slope rising to a forested crest
toward the southeast.
OF to the northeast there is a
CLINT of water from distant Lake
Champlain, beyond which rise,
scarcely distinguiShable from the
distant clouds, the sharp peaks of
Vermont's Green Mountains. To
the north the land falls away cas-
lily, under the wheat, meadows and
groves. Into the valley of the Sar-
anac. Beyond the stream rise the
Blue Hills. Far to the south and
west are the cool peaks of the
Adirondacks.
No more quiet, peaceful land ever
spread its beauties in the warm
light. There is lazy contented
twittering from birds in the shadows
OF the bushes along the road.
Point of Advance Guard.
But now along the highway from
the west comes a man in blue
denim uniform, with tan leggings
and 'well-seasoned campaign hat
with blue cord. He carries a
rifle at the ready as he swings
easily along the side OF the
road, well up against the occasional
bushes f1anking the way. Alert and
wary, he examines with care all
the peaceful terrain ahead. His
gaze runs along the stone walls
across the sloping fields, examines
all clumps of bushes and trees.
takes in the changing skyline as
he moves.
Across the road comes an iden-
tical figure, just as alert, and watch
full. Behind them, well separated,
come others, among them young
first lieutenant in field khaki and
dusty boots, with the crossed rifles
and the insignia of the 18th In
fantry, of the First Division. It is
the point" of an advanced guard,
feeling its way toward an antici-
pated contact with invading BLACK"
troops of four National Guard divi-
Sions known to be on the move

peacetime maneuvers ever held in
the United States.

soldiers, alternating on opposite

on both Eides Of the road and the
foremost open fire on the clump.
Behind. the first connecting file
holds up his rifle horizontally in
both hands above his head. The
signal passes back along the line to
the advance guard. The men of the
point advance from tree to tree, bush
to bush, clump to clump like Indian
fighters, taking advantage Of all pos
sible cover. They fire as they 60,
feeling out the strength Of the OPP
position ahead.
Scattered Shots From Right.
They stir up scattered shots from
Oh to the right Of the road and
presently there is a chattering burst
OF machine gun fire from behind one
OF the white birches up In the edge
OF the woods. The ofilcer with the
point holds up his hand and the ad-
vance halts. The signal passes back
through the files. The officers con-
fer briefly back in the advance
guard and a rifle squad angles Oh
into tongue of woods to the right
and disappears. Another moves OH
from the left behind a stone wall
along the wheat. The volume of
rifle fire grows and spreads out
across the country.
The advance guard moves up and
fans OF to the right and left and
disappears. Nowhere are more than
two or three men In sight at any one
point. Occasionally you just glimpse
movement in clump of bushes
or behind a wall. Now, of to the
right, one of our own "suptter guns"

Mr.. Bundys direct testimony yes

WHY IT'S DIFFERENT!

The following is given as one
'eason why the English language
S difficult for foreigners:
You take a swim
You say you've swum;
Your nails you trim,
But they're not trum;
And milk you skim
Is never skum.
When words you speak
Those words are spoken;
But a nose you tweak
Is never twoken;
Nor can you seek
And say you've soken.
A top YOU spin,
The top is spun;
A hare you skin
Yet it's not skun;
Nor can grin be ever grun.
If we forget
Then we've forgotten =
But if we bet
We have not botten;
No house we let
Is ever lotten;
What we upset
Is not upsotten.
