HAILED FROM PINEVILLE
BUT HAD BEEN AROUND
(United Press Staff Correspondence)
WITH THE BRITISH ARMIES IN
THE FIELD, March 15.—For the first
two minutes my new chauffeur was a
mystery to me. I could not quite
place him. Then I pinned him down
and all was quite plain.
The new driver had been furnished
me by the army, of course. He was
taking the place of another who had
paraded sick. I could see that he was
a lance-corporal, that he belonged to
the army service corps, that he knew
how to drive a car, and all that. That
I could see at a glance.
Then I said something to him and
the mystery began. He replied to
me by saying:
“Yeah.'’
I’ve heard most of the dialects of
England, Scotland, Ireland, Wales,
South Africa, Australia, New Zealand,
Newfoundland, Canada and Jamaica,
and nobody from any of those coun
tries that I had ever heard talk said
“Yeah.”
“Where’d you come from?” I asked
the new Tommy.
"I was with the Australians, suh,”
I he said.
“But before that?”
“I was driving a Canadian officer.”
"So you are a Canadian?”
“No, suh.”
“How did you come to be driving a
Canadian officer, then?”
“The English loaned me to the Ca
nadians.”
oum. x uuidkou in Y/anautt.
“But I thought you said you were
not a Canadian.”
“I’m not, suh. I only enlisted
there.”
“You must have been living in Can
ada.”
“No, suh.”
“Where, then?”
“Detroit.”
“Michigan?”
“Yeah.”
“English?”
"No, suh. American.”
/“You don't talk like a Michigan
der.”
“I’m not a Michigander.”
“What part of the States are you
from?”
"Kentucky.”
“1 used to live close by. Were you
ever in Cincinnati?”
"I should say! Do* you know Vine
street, Fountain square and the old
Arcade?”
“Like a book. And Clifton and Av
ondale and Mount Auburn.”
»“And Coney Island, the Zoo and
Chester park. Were you ever in Pine
ville?”
“Pineville what?”
“Pineville, Ky.”
“Not that I remember.”
"That’s where 1 was born.”
“How in the world did you get
from Pineville, Ky., to Flanders?”
“Well, you see, I got to know some
thing about riiotor cars and then, aftei
moving around quite a little—'Frisco,
I
Seattle and around thataway—I headed
j up in Detroit. 1 got a job in a motor
factory there. One day a man asked
I me what about joining the British
j army. It looked pretty good to me
| and to some others, so about a couple
J of dozen or so of us decided to have
i a look. The man said to come over
I
to Windsor—were you ever in De
troit? Windsor’s just across, you
know, from Detroit—and he’d fix us
up. This w»as back in 1916.
“Well, when we got over into Can
; ada everything was all right. We went
to England and soon had our uni
! forms. They didn’t make us re
1
nounce our nationality. So here I am."
| “What about joining the American
army, now that we are in the fight?
Are you thinking about getting trans
t ferred?”
| “It's a lot of trouble to get a trans
) fer, Besides, we are all right wljere
we are. It doesn’t matter which army
we are in just so we are in one of
’em, and doin’ our little bit. I’m sat
isfied.”
“You’ve knocked around quite a
I bit."
“Yeah,” he said.
For a minute he was silent. He
steered with skillful hand past a long
line of divisional lorries and straight
ened out down the long, straight,
paved highway. The sun was bril
liant and spring was in the air.
“I’ll bet the mosquito fleet’s out
around Seattle today,” he said, half
musing.
And when the run was over and we
were all back in our billets, I passed
by the Nissen hut which the orderlies
and chauffeurs use as a mess and
sitting room. I caught a glimpse of
the American driver sitting at the
tin-panny piano they have there. In
a syncopation so perfect that I
thought at first a mechanical piano
was at work, came the strains of—
“They built a garden for a rose
And they called it Dixie Land—”
Had I heard that first, the “yeah”
wouldn't have been a mystery, not
even for two minutes.
Sorry I can’t give Kentucky's name.
But you Pineville folks will probably
know who I’m talking about.

MOUNTAIN CLIMBER
DIES IN ENGLAND
LONDON, April 20—The Rev. A. S.
\Y. Young, who has just died at his
home on the Thames, was the last sur
vivors of three brothers who won the
attention of the world in 1866 by mak
ing the first ascent of Mont Blanc
without a guide. On their return they
fell 2,000 feet ovej^a precipicy, one of
being killed but the other two
escaping practically unhurt.
The three brothers Young, athletes
and experienced mountaineers, an
nounced their intent'on of climbing
Mont Blanc at the most dangerous
season of the year. Ail endeavors
to dissuade them failed, and in view
of the great danger of the enterprise, j
l he main streets of Chamonix were I
thronged with spectators and tele- i
scopes were much in demand.
Towards 11 o’clock the three broth-1
ers were discerned, looking like pig-'
mies, far up on the loftiest terrace !
of the Grand plateau, climbing with
remarkable vigor. They disappeared
in the “Corridor” and were lost to
view for an hour, when the reap
peared and were seen standing to
gether on the extreme summit of Mont
Blanc. They remained there for a
few minutes and then commenced the
descent.
Suddenly all three vanished, and
an instant later they appeared 2,000
feet below. One of the trio had slipped
on the edge of a precipice, and the
brothers, being roped together, were
shot down an almost perpendicular
slope of ice to a point where it joined
the border of the upper glacier. Hor
ror-stricken, the watchers below pres
ently saw two of the men rise to their
feet, and for two dnd a half hours
they bent over the proktrate form of
she third, who seemed inert.
Then the two, one walking with
gieat difficulty, began the laborious
lescent, leaving the lifeless body of
their brother. It was dark before they
reached the “Corridor,” and they did
not reach a safe stopping place until
about 3 o’clock in the morning. A
rescue party from Chamonix after
ward recovered the body of the
brother, whose neck had been broken
by his fall.
