"It is v?ry pretty, very sleepy look
ing, very foreign and quite what I
expected to, find," he added. "The
people are simple country folk, wear
wooden shoes and simple clothes. We
did not see a whole lot of the town
because a half-mist, haif-rain, a 60
pound pack and a disposition grown

"Well, How does this find you? I
am feeling pretty good again. I got
a light touch of gas, but am feeling
better once more aud expect to leave
the hosDital in a few days. The gas
did not affect my lungs much. Most
of the ill effects was in my eyes, but
they are a lot better. I think my di
vision will soon be going back for a
good rest. They sure nave been doing
some hard fighting since they have
been on this front.
"Two fellows who came over here
with me got 'picked off about a

who formerly lived in North Platte.

contestants will be the Chicago Na

C eveland has done well during its

his parents, Mr. and Mrs John M.
Ragan. Hastings, Neb., recently: '
"1 am very well and still carrying
on here as usual. It doesn't look as
though I would have to gd back to
France until next spring. Recruits
are coming in very well under the
military service act-m fact, during
the month of May the wastage of
troops from all sources was 8.000 and
the recruits obtained were 37,000. So
it seems that conscription has been
a success after all, and, according to
the Canadian papers, even the Quebec
people have had a change of heart
and are coming forward in large
numbers to enlftt. Their leaders are
evidently refraining from twisting

"There isn't . much news here, lut
I am still pn the front line." is the
rather unusual statement made by lA.
Frank Triefweiler, now in France.
to his parents at Bloomfteld, Neb.. His
friends in vBloomfield v consider
that the fact he is bthe front line
is "some" news in itself. He farther
added: ,: - -:;
"We have - had one long stay ot '
about 150 days since we first landed
here. I believe this is the longest
stay on the front that any American
division has yet had."
. And Frank says this immediately
after 'he apologizes for the "lack of
news." Then'he added:
a i ..
"I understand that many Americans,
are arriving now. It has been so long
since we were in the rear that I do
not have any idea just what we have
back tjhere now. But from what we
get from the newspapers it would ap-

Correspondence of Associated Press.
Paris. July IS. The heroic exploits
and hairbreadth escapes of D'Artag
nan as narrated by Dumas in "The
Three Musketeers" fade into com
parative insignificance when com
pared with the achievements of Rene
Bertrand as told by himself. , Minus
an arm and a leg, with nine medals
glittering on his breast, and asserting
that his body bore more than 30 bul
let and bayonet wounds, "Private
Rene Betrand of the French Colonel
Infantry" posed in Paris as the great
est hero of the war.
Now he has been arrested as per
haps one of the war's greatest fakirs
and the police authorities declare that
he lost hi? leg and arm in a railway
accident and that five imprisonments
instead of five citations compose his
record. It was the publication of
Betrand's photograph in a French
newspaper that led to his undoing.
, Deluded Army Officers.
Meantime, while reveling in the
fruits of his own romance, Betrand
enjoyed the confidence of army of
ficers and the credit of the leading
Paris cafes. One famous and fearless
aviator made Private Betrand his
godson and "adopted" him for the
balance of the war.
The medals he wore included the
cross of the legion of honor, the mili
tary medal, the war cross with seven
palms and five stars, the British mili
tary cross, the Belgian war cross, the
colonial medal, medal of Morocco,
and the medal for saving life, and the
medal for wounds. In addition he
wore the "fouragere" of the legion
of honor.
Where he got them has not been
'4 disclosed, but to account for fhem
Betrand constructed a 'story ot won
derful incidents. According to this
tale he won the military medal, by
saving the lives of two officers and
was himself wounded in the thigh
when surrounded by natives while
fighting with the French terri
torial forces in Morocco in 1913.
,v; A Thrilling Exploit.
Then, according to his own story,
Betrand won the war cross in a pa
trol exploit in the present war when,
after his companions were killed he
Captured a whole German cooking
outfit at Laon, having rilled most of
the cooks. Next, .fighting with the
British on the Somme he won the
military cross by capturing 12 Ger
mans single-handed. Meantime he
had been captured five times by the
Germans but always managed to es
cane. - '
In the next chapter of His biogra
phy Betrand appears in the ' fight
around Monastir on the Macedonian
front where he simultaneously ' op
erated four machine guns and
wreaked such an awful havoc with
the enemy that their attack was beat
en off. At the battle of Monastir he
essayed to rescue an officer who lay
wounded in No Man's Land and was
himself wounded in the abdomen. De
SDite his cain he dragged the officer
back to safety and went out again'
to rescue a wounded njrse. In the
last trip his arm was shattered by
a bullet, and later wa amputated. '
,-. Amputates Own Leg. ,
Next we find Betrand a passenger
on board a' ship bound for France.
The torpedo which hit , the vessel
shattered one of Betrand's legs. Calra-
Iv amputating it with his knife Be-
trand bound up the stump, dragged
himself to the rail, threw himself
J overboard, paused long enough to res
cue the captain aud swam to a piece
t of drift wood where he lived for three
! days, and three nights before being
tescued by a ... Spanish vessel. For
this Betrand said he received, the
medal of the legion of honor." ;
"You folks back home don't need
to worry that the army life will teach
anyone bad habits. I, for one, haven't
smoked, chewed or drank while I have
been in the service and I don't intend
to. I don't want you folks to worry
about me; keep up good cheer for that
is what I am doing."
This cheerful bit of news was con
tained in a letter from Burton Brown,
now "somewhere in England," which
he wrote to his parents, Mr. and Mrs.
W. C. Brown, Hastings, Neb. Li ad
dition, he wrote:

of course, everyone would prefer to

might be called flat auctions.
If a flat was advertised ior rem
the papers, probably iuu persons
would assemble that day outside the
building. No one was admitted to tne
flat, but the caretaker, wnen ne
thought a large enough crowd had
collected, would throw open his win

"The rent of this flat, ladies and
gentlemen, is so much year. Which
of you will pay me most for arranging

Then a kind of auction would oe
held, and whoever made the largest

would secure the flat.
Now the flat famine has developed
to such an extent that the diligent
flat seeker studies the death announce

with questions about their plans with
regard to the flat.
Fortunes Made in

Trade With Germany
Correspondence of Associated Press.
London, uiy la. A great aeai. oi
trade was done between Iceland and
Germany and Austria, earlier in the
war, in the opinkuKof the attorney
ceneral. expressed uunng .me Hear
ing of a case, in the prize court. This
contraband trade was upon an enor
mous scale and very difficult to de
tect, he declared. He gave one il
lustration between October and De
cember, 1914, the entire output of
200,000 woolskins was exported to
Germany anp Austria via Denmark.
Although the -British government
knew this was going on it had hot
been , possible to detect it owing to
the territorial natufe of the voyage
till they , had been able to get evi
dence by means of intercepted mes
saees. Fortunes had been made : in
Iceland. Voyages were usually secret
and by unusual courses, designed to
avoid the British navy, while docu

the true nature of the transaction.

Gloria Swanson, appearing at the
Muse this half of the week in "Every

new star. She has only played the
lead in two or three really big pic
tures, and when the opportunity came
to head the cast in this play Miss
Swanson stepped into the breach glad
ly, and as fortune has it, it is an
excellent play for her. There are well
developed dramatic moments in the
story and an opportunity for plenty
of light comedy.
"The Beloved Blackmailer," being
run at the Sun today has one of the
best box!vg scenes filmed in years.
Carlyle Biackwell, the star, is pretty
handy with the gloves and he is
matched with Kid Broad, a' well-
known mitt swinger of several years
ago. The scenes of the play show
some of the prettiest parts of the New
