STAGED BY "ALL-STAR" CAST With the American Army in France, April 17. Commanders of units who participated in the several days of fighting last week in company with the French in the Apremont wood sector are finding it difficult to pick out men who especially distinguished themselves in the operations. One commander said that every man acted lifte a hero and it was hard to choose the most deserving cases. One of the most popular men wih the soldiers on this sector is the Rev. Des Valles, a Roman Catholic priest of New Bedford, Mass., who is living with the men in an unofficial capacity, having come to France as a repre sentative of the Knights of Columbus. .When the attacks began, Father Des Valles, braving the dangers of shell and machine gun fire, went to the casualty clearing station near the front line to administer to the wounded. He assisted in dressing the injuries of the soldiers and gave each mam a word of cheer. He handed out cigarets to the men who smoked. "Every Inch a Soldier.", "He's as game as they make them and every inch a soldier," said a doughboy, while other soldiers spoke of the inspiration furnished by the priest. Another popular man is a young banker of Springfield, Mass., who was pressed into service as a stretcher bearer. He was the smallest man in the outfit and after several trips be came so- exhausted he was unable to hold the stretcher. He refused to give up and had his companions tie the stretcher to his wrists with rope so as to enable him to hold the stretcher on the journey from the front line to the dressing station. Twice in 24 hours an American company has assisted French troops in a neighboring sector to regain trenches temporarily taken by the Germans. The company was. led by a captain who took his troops over the top in the face of the most violent machine gun and artillery fire. Each time he succeeded in driving out the enemy and inflicting heavy casualties and then strengthening the positions. "Write to Mother." A most pathetic story from the American lines is that of a young cor poral who was wounded fatally after fighting for four hours. A piece of shrapnel struck him in the head. He had a grenade in each hand. Giving them to his companion, he said: "I guess I'm done. Please write to my mother and tell, her how it hap pened. But here take these grenades and for God's sake don't waste them." The corporal fell in a faint and died in a hospital the next day without re gaining consciousness. At one point on this sector there was a space of only 15 yards between the opposing trenches. A day before an attack, the Germans threw a note into the American trench. It read: Fritzies Found Out. "What are you? Canadians or Aus tralians?" 1 "Come over and find out," was the reply thrown back by an American soldier. The infantrymen who related the incident added: "I guess they know who we are now and they will not be likely to for get i for some time." One lieutenant in a listening post, with a small party of men, was cut off from the remainder of the platoon in Friday's attack. He tried to send up rockets to signal an American bar rage, but the rockets failed to work. A private then volunteered to run back with the message. He passed through three lines of barrage fire without being harmed, and delivered the message. The American gunners laid down a barrage immediately and saved the lieutenant and his party from the hands of a superior enemy force which was headed in their direction. HOTEL MEN MEET ON GARBAGEQUESTION Former Despised Tak' Now Much Sought After Privi lege; Would Take Prob lem Into Own Hands. Members of the Omaha Hotel Men's association have resolved to fight for the privilege of disposing of garbage from hotels and restaurants in any way they see fit At a meeting Wednesday night the hotel and res taurant owners discussed the question of hauling garbage, many declaring they preferred to dispose of their own refuse, rather than have the cithaul it away. The hitherto despised task has suddenly became a much sought after privilege. Ihe hotel men also called upon the 14 city commission candidates to takea stand on the Question before they will receive the sugport of the association. Under present city ordinances reg ulating the handling of garbage there is no way owners of such refuse can get it through the city streets to hog ranches in the country, where they may be interested. At present private interests are maintaining hog ranches on the outskirts of Omaha and hold contracts with the city for the gar bage collected. The cost of feeding the swine costs these feeders prac tically nothing, except the charge for hauling, hotel men declare, and are of the belief that a good price could now be secured. Richard Kitchen told the hotel men of the new pledge taken by hotels over the entire country to refrain from serving wheat. He praised Ne hrasta a the onlv state where there has been no prosecutions by the food administration, v. rarisn oi inc Nebraska food administrator's office addressed the meeting.
