CAMP KEARNEY.—Slang orig
inated by American soldiers now in
the battle lines in France and many
; stories of front line conditions have
been put in circulation here by offi
cers sent back from Prance to act
; as instructors.
So far, according to t' ese of i
: eers, only two slang expressions
have been adopted from Americ *.’s
associates in the war—-“camouflage ’
and “putting the wind up.” The
| first is from the French
general use to indicate “imitation”
| or counterfeit. The second is fro
the British and indicates a state of
nervous apprehension, generally n
the part of the enemy.
The terms “coal boxes.” “Jack
Johnsons,” “whizz-banks” and other
British slang designations forhea.y
; shells have been replaced, for
1 American use, by “barrack bag,”
"trunk locker” and “G. I. Can.”
all of which are the names of bulky
and cumbersome articles of the
American soldier’s, officer’s or com
pany’s equipment, respectively.
Six officers on detached duty as
! instructors are now here attached
to the development battalio They
are Lieutenants R. H. Lewis, Fergus
j McCree, William P. Longist, A. J.
Ouilette, R. Y. Jarvis and Samuel
Weiner. Lieutenant Weiner is act
ing as assistant adjutant of the
battalion.
A new oil well producing a high
grade of oil was brought in at a

PARIS.—The heroic exploits and
hair-breath escapes of D'Artagnan
as narrated by Dumas in The Three
Musketeers, fade into comparative
insignificance when compared 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 bullet and
bayonet wounds, “Private Rene Bert
rand of the French Colonel Infantry”
posed in Paris as the greatest 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 his leg and arm in a
railway accident and that five im
prisonments instead of five citations
compose his record It was the pub
lication of Bertrand’s photograph in
a French newspaper that led to his
undoing.
Meantime, while reveling in the
fruits of his own romance, Rertrand
enjoyed the confidence of army offi
cers and the credit of the leading
Paris cafes. One famous and fear
less aviator made Private Bertrand
his godson and “adopted” him for
the balance of the war.
The medals he wore included the
cross of the legion of honor, the
military medal, the war cross with
seven palms and five stars, the Brit
ish military cross, the Belgium war
cross, the colonial medal, the medal
of Morrocco, and the medal for sav
ing life, and the medal for wounds.
In addition he wore the “fouragere"
of the legion of honor.
Where he got them has not been
disclosed, but to account for them
Bertrand constructed a story of 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 Territorial
Forces in Morocco, in lt»13.
Then according to his own story,
Bertrand won the war cross in a
patrol exploit in the present war,
when, after his companions were
killed he captured a whole German
cooking outfit at Laon. having killed
most of the cooks Next, fighting
with the British on the Somme, he
won the military cross by capturing
13 Germans single-handed. Mean
time he had been captured five
times by the Germans, but always
managed to escape.
In the next chapter of his biogra
phy Bertrand appears in the fight
around Monastir on the Macedonian
front, where he simultaneously oper
ated four machine guns and wrecked
such an awful havoc with the enemy
that their attack was beaten off.
At the battle of Monastir he essayed
to rescue an officer who lay wound
ed in No Man's Land and was him
self wounded in the abdomen De
spite his pain he dragged the officer
back to safety and went out again
to rescue a wounded nurse. Ir the
last trip his arm was shattered by a
bullet and later was amputated.
Next we find Bertrand a passenger
on board a ship bound for France.
The torpedo which hit the vessel
shattered one- of Bertrand’s legs.
Calmy amputating it with his knife,
Bertrand bound up the stump, draf
ged himself to the rail, threw him
self overboard, paused long enough
to rescue the captain and swam to
a piece of drift-wood where he lived
for three days and three nights be
fore being rescued by a Spanish ves
sel For this Bertrand said he re
ceived the medal of the legion of
honor. j-jf r >1
Numerous stars and leaves pf palm
that Bertrand wore upon his war
cross had been acquired, according
to his tale, by 12 distinct acts of
heroism which were worthy of the
coveted cross, but the details of these
incidents have not yet been given
to the public.

Enlist it to fight against the kaiser.
DUDES UNDER DAN !
AI TRAINING CAMP
CAMP LEWIS.—The Beau Brum
mells of the army here,those who (
like to be “just a little different”, ;
have been dealt a sad blow. Orders ;
issued from the headquarters of the j
166th depot brigade are brief and!
to the point that hereafter shirt
collars in that organization must
be worn turned down.
That effect of having the collar
heavily stitched so it would lend
an air of distinction when turned
up is no more, and the young men
in the depot brigade to whom a uni
form is something more than just a
uniform are saddened. Scrawny
necks will no longer be camou
flaged by the turned up collar, for
hereafter, except when blouses are
worn, collars will lie as flat as the ;
army regulations will permit.
Hat cords among the members of
the_ depot brigade also are to be j
a thing of the past soon for no more
are being issued. For years the
branch of the service to wh'ch a
man belonged has been readily told
by the color of his hat cord, but
since the depot brigade is a re
placement organization for every
branch, it cannot be said to belong i
to any particular one. Hitherto the '
men have worn the blue cord of the
infantrymen, but with the wearing \
out of the cords and the non-|
issuance of new ones, members will
be without. This order effects only i
men of the depot brigade.
S. A. Hemple will start work j
on the Hemple Copper property at
Landlock, Prince William Sound, in j
the near future. This is one of j
the best copper propositions in this ■
vicinity.
