Paris. When the change came
from trench warfare to tln more or
less warfare of movement, the Ameri
cans got their long-deslrod opportu
nity to display their physical prowess
and their Individual superiority In
hand-to-hnnd fighting. And they liked
It this close fighting as evidenced
by the spilles nnd laughs of the boys
In the American iinny hospitals when"
they recount tides of Imyonet rlmrn
Ing, hnnd grounding nt close iiiiirters,
ond even the good, old American style
of using the lists.
Andrew Dumas of Burke, N. Y was
suffering a hit of palu from a wound
In Ids hip, caused by shrapnel, hut
ho forgot his sufferings when he told
of doing away with three exponents
of Pruf,slnnlsm with his bayonet. Du
mas was Injured while fighting In the
Hector north of Verdun where the
Americans, straddling the Mouse
river, met resistance of the most stub
born kind.
"We crept out one night on n scout
ing proposition and met up with (pilto
a gnng of Huns." Dumas said. "We
couldn't resist the temptation to have
n go nt them at close quarters. I
know of three of them that went down
with my bayonet. I wasn't Injured
until two days later."
Callo It "Hot Stuff."
Another Yank, who says "close up"
Dishtlng Is "hot stuff." Is Sergeant
Adolph Stein of WIS St. Clair street,
Lnwrenceburg, Ind.
It's Stein's second time In the hos
pital since the middle of August.
His first wound was from a Ger
man high explosive, but his second
trip to the hospital was caused by
machine gun bullets In each leg.
He said he was Just In reach of the
machine gun nest when he fell. Hut,
he added, his comrades "carried on"
and got the gun.
"Just to show you the difference be
tween Americans nnd Hermans. I've
seen one American hold off live and
six Hermans with n rllle, and I had a
man In my platoon, who, after being
wounded himself, brought In thirteen
prisoners single-handed."

The war has brought British women

"Rtronger sex" throughout the history
of the British empire.
It Is probable women's right to sit
In the house of lords will be establish

of women to the professions on an

The question of "equal pay for equal

After scouring the town he found the

MUTILATED BELG'AN OFPHAN
TniiiroN ,a',e5eii a len-yearnld
Helglun refugee, who Is now In the
United Stales. When the war broke
out be was but six years of age and
was attending a school. In one of the
little Helglan towns that was later
overrun by the Herman hordes. While
coming home from school one day his
parents told him that the Hermans had
Invaded bis tom. A little later he was
hit by a fragment of an aerial bomb
from a Herman plane. Getting up he
ran to bis home and there saw his fam
ily killed before his eyes. Whenever
an American transport arrived at the
port of Brest be and his compan
ions would rush to the wharf where
they would surely get something to eat
from some of the sailors. This con
tinued for about two years. Then the
men on the transport that had given,
him food so many times decided to!
make an American of him so they
adopted Francois. After making a
collection for liltn they decided to send
him to school In the United States.
largely It remains to bo fought out af
ter the Industrial change-over.
Only women over thirty may vote,
but there Is already n demand that thls
age limit be reduced.
Already a number of women have an
nounced they will be candidates In tho
coming elections many of them on
planks dealing with reconstruction
tasks.
Mrs. Dacre Fox, one of the leaders of
the "Intern 'em all" agitation, made the
following statement in connection with
her intention to oppose Sir George
Cave, tho home secretary:
"I will oppose him because his de
partment placed every obstucle In tho
way of the internment of all enemy
aliens."
Here are views expressed by promi
nent women of England upon the new
order:
Mrs. Pnnkhurst : "The decision of
tho house In granting women the right
to sit as members was the logical out
come of getting the vote, but I think
the vote Is much the more Important
thing. I shall vote to get the right
type of men Into parliament rather
than to get women into parliament. 1
am very anxious that the strength of
tho woman voters 0,000,000 strong
shall be given to help combat the very
real danger of international bolshe
vlsm." I.ady Frances Balfour: "The sooner
tho nation forgets the sex of Its enfran
chised citizens, or Its members In pub
lic work, the better for all concerned.
Sex must make no difference In the
binding obligations of those who form
that great assemblage, the faithful
commons, In the mother of parlia
ments." Baroness Hhondda (who as a peer
ess in her own right Is expected to
claim, as a test case, the right of wom
en to sit In the house of lords) : "t
think It Is Just as desirable that wom
en should bo In the house of lords as
It Is that they should sit In the com
mons. The way for women In the lords
will he made easier by the admission
of women to the commons."

Terror stricken, n chauffeur alight

And many more chauffeurs suffered
tho same thrilling experience.
To make tho "accident" more real
