AMERICAN FIELD HEADQUAR
TERS, France, Oct. 18. — An Ameri
can army surgeon who has just re
turned from the British front, had an
Interesting experience while there in
convincing a skeptical German officer
prisoner that America is seriously in
the war and will in due time be do
ing her bit in the trenches.
The doctor was serving in an ad
vanced dressing station during a Brit
ish attack and the German officer,
slightly wounded, was brought in for
treatment. The apron the surgeon
wore covered the United States In
signia he wore. The German officer
spoke excellent English, and engaged
in conversation with the doctor, think
ing him English.
"Where did you get your facility in
English,” the doctor inquired.
"In Chicago,” replied the German;
"I lived there for several years.”
"Well, what do you think of Ameri
ca coming into the war?”
’‘Oh, it won’t make any military dif
ference. We have not been taken in
by any of the reports of Americans
being already near the front. You
English needn't think you are going
to get any quick help from America.
They are not prepared over there, and
even if they were our U-boats would
keep them away.”
"So there are no Americans here?”
queried the doctor.
“No.”
“Well, what do you think of this?”
He slowly turned back his apron and
disclosed the tell-tale "U. S.” on his
collar.
"How did you get here?" It was the
startled German’s turn to become the
questioner.
“I came with part of the American
army.”
“Then American soldiers really are
here, and are going to fight?”
"Of course."
“How many are there?”
“More thousands than you would
ever imagine."
“But tell me, Doctor-.”
“Sorry, but you will have to pass
along, I have other patients waiting.”

CHIHUAHUA, Mexico. Oct. 18—Al
though General Francisco Murguia
probably never heard the British army
expression "mopping up" after a bat
tle, that is exactly what he is doing
with the bandits of western and north
western Chihuahua.
Flying squadrons of cavalry and
mounted infantry have been drilled
to ride hard, shoot from the saddle
and pursue the enemy night and day.
These are being dispatched almost
daily from the general military head
quarters here to the mountains of the
Guerrero district to run down ban
dits. Their orders are to take no
prisoners as all have been granted
amnesty and given guarantees. All
(others classed as bandits are to be
killed when caught.
