SIX WAR CROSSES
WON IN THREE MTS
Amercan Red Cross, 4 Place de la
Concorde, Paris, Pel). 1.—When the
American Red Cross commission
reached Europe it made arrangements
to take over several ambulance sec
tions, and sent out several scores of
ambulance drivers to aid the French
army. For several months, until the
coming of the American army removed
all field ambulance service from civil
ian control. Red Cross ambulances did
heroic service under fire and in all
kinds of hazardous service.
One of the French section relieved
was No. 24. The relief section left
Paris fully equipped and within a few
hours had reached its base station.
Ordinarily it would have had plenty of
time to arrange comfortable quarters
there and get acquainted with the new
conditions.
But fifteen minutes after section 24
arrived, dusty and tired from the drive
from Paris, a call came in from the
Poste de Secours, near the front-lino
trenches, for six cars. True to"past
traditions of American ambulance
drivers, every many volunteered —
pleaded to go. Six were quickly se
lected. The others followed shortly
after, as more cars were called for
One trip did not end their work.
Each car made dozens of trips, the en
tire section working day and night for
three days without intermission.There
was an almost continuous shelling of
the roads over which they passed and
gas attacks were not infrequent. | One
of the drivers was so ha.dly.t,
that he had to be returned to Paris
hospital for treatment; but evef. man
stuck to his job.
When the offensive was finished
the French army was so pleased with
the work of the section that six Croix
de Guerre were awarded among its
members. The citations were made
just three days after the section ar
rived.

TOLD III BRIEF
MCCARTHY, March 4.—On the occa
sion of Judge O'Connor’s recent trip
to the Mother Lode camp, he and Supf.
Kuncock gave the boys an interesting
talk on Red Cross work with the re
sult that the sum of $181.00 was sub
scribed by them monthly. This amount
will he credited to this chapter and
remitted from here to Seattle.
Michael May, an old timer w’ell
known in this part of the country, died
at the Kennicott hospital last Monday
from stomach trouble. For the last
four years he had been employed by
O. Max Esterly on his placer ground
in the Nizina country. Mr. Shriver
conducted the funeral service.
.1. B. O’Neill is president of the
Four Minute Men for this section.
I Th’s campaign is organized in order
j to keep people informed as to eondi
i tions and the needs of our government
from time to time in four-minute talks
by chosen speakers. Their "data comes
direct from Washington and Is ab
solutely authentic.
Jim Murie left for Nizina glacier
with ten tons of freight consigned to
hushanna parties. From that point
. it will be transported by dog teams.
With the Mother Lode whistles
shrieking, the chief of the fire brigade
yelling fire and all the teams in town
racing round corners one would im
agine that half tlie town was on fire.
Fortunately however, it turned out to
be a practice drill. The residents of
McCarthy can rest assured that should
^conflagration occur, the fire boys
will be on deck.

UIE SlltEESTIi
i Some time ago the Daily Times
• printed a news item which related
the discovery of a Jesuit priest of
Doyola university, Chicago, by which
glycerine could be produced at a cost
of 30 cents a gallon, as against its pres
ent price of nearly $7.50. The new
glycerine was said to be a product of
slaked lime and refuse meats and veg
etables.
A "Prospector,” whose modesty
prompts him to remain anonymous,
has submitted to the Times a sugges
tion which may be of great value to
the government war boards. It is as
follows:
"I am under the impression that the
jellyfish so plentiful at Kodiak will
make glycerine. This will be still
cheaper than 30 cents a gallon."
