ON OMR SIDE
Behind British Lines in France.—
To an American visiting the West
ern front in these stirring times, it|
is a surpirse and a pleasure to note
the interest and anticipation with
fhich the more active participation j
of the Americans is greeted on
every hand.
The Canadian soldiers invariably
adopt the attitude of “I told you
so” when the offical reports chron
icle American successes. The Aus
tralians also pride themselves on
their intimacy with the Americans, j
and take a personal pride in every
good deed which the Americans do,1
as if in some way they, themselves,1
had some share in it. |
The English Tommies are content
to express delight and satisfaction,
but always as if eager to believe
the best and give credit for every
excuse. The Americans, by their
unassuming ways and insistent ag
gressiveness in the line, have won
the good will of the whole Imperial
British army.
When a German report came in
the other day of five airplanes
brought down from a patrol of six
American raiders, frank incredulity
was expressed everywhere. When
the American report verified it,
there was nothing in it but hard
luck and a basis for further aveng
ing exploits.
The American flying men have
a hard time before them to sustain
the hopes held out for them by their
admirers in the British and Cana
dian battalions. The kindly ap
plause showered on American meth
ods by the English newspapers—
which have from the first ignored
the mistakes certain to creep into
any war administration—is either
accepted in France as the complete
story or is a reflection of the feel
ing here.
Nowhere was the amity of feel
ing between the Americans and the
various British units better demon
strated that at the recent Dominion
Day sports behind the British lines.
The events of that day are acknow
ledged to have been the greatest
gala-day celebration ever held in the
war area.
HUNTERS RETURN
FROM JE LUKES
On the steamer Yukon, which ar
rived in Nenana late last night, Ed
Wolcott and Tom Marquam, who
had been on a duck hunting trip
to the Linder Lake country, re
turned to Nenana.
Messrs Wolcott and Marquam ar- i
rived in Xenana about a week ago
on the launch Eclipse, and from this
point started down to the lake
region in a Peterboro. canoe, their
baggage and camp equipment fol- i
lowing shortly after on the Eclipse
which was on a voyage to the Tolo- i
vana at that time.
The men camped in the neighbor
hood of the lakes for several days,
and enjoyed the hunting; both of!
them securing almost limit bags, j
While in camp they lived almost
entirely on the ducks they shot and
the effects of this diet on them was
very noticeable. They have both j
added much to their avoirdupois,!
especially Ed Wolcott, and both
state that they feel very fit after
their most enjoyable outing and
the duck diet.
DUBLIN POOR PLACE
TO SEARCH FOR WORK j
DUBLIN.—The number of unem- \
ployed in this city during the winter |
months has increased during the
period of the war, according to a
report of the National Relief Fund. !
Instead of ameliorating seasonal
labor conditions in urban districts, j
the war has accenuated them, the.
report says. In rural districts there
is virtually no employment.
FRIENDLY PLANES
COME 10 RESCUE
OF FRENCH TOWN
Behind British Lines in France— i
A British-American airplane squad
ron in a certain section of the front'
in Northern France won the ever- j
lasting gratitude of the civilian pop
ulation of a little market town in'
the mining district recently, by put- j
ting out of action a big Germa t j
gun which had started in to make!
life miserable for the local inhabi- j
tants.
The gun opened up very sud- j
denly one market day, at an hour ]
when the streets were at their1
busiest. Without warning ab-i.ti
noon, there was the crash of a ter
rific explosion in the central square,
which by the way was located more
than eight miles behind the front
line- Other explosions followed
with deadly regularity at intervals!
of ten minutes. The death-dealer j
was a high-velocity 15-inch gun of !
the naval type. It was using shrap- j
nel and casualties among troops and (
civilians were numerous.
The task of locating the gun was
handed over to the nearby Briri.-di
Amercian airplane squadron wi ,.i
certain directions as to probabilities.
Within a few hours the task was
duly accomplished, and photographs
were brought in which showed the
position plainly.
Unfortunately the job of putting
the big gun out of action was n >t
so simple. Its position was too far
back to be reached by the ordinary
counter-battery guns anY howitzers,
and it happened that there were no
long-range guns in the area capable
of dealing with it. To bring such
guns from another part of the lint s
would mean considerable delay, and
speed was vital.
It was therefore decided that the
big gun must be bombed from air
plane. And well bombed it was,
that very day, by the same squadron
which had located it. Bombs vary
ing all the way from 20 pounds to
112 pounds' each descended upon
and around the emplacements. The
satisfactory results were testified by
ttle fact that no more 15-inch shells
have disturbed the market place.
1,185,000 tons of sugar will be j
saved the first year if each of us
uses one ounce less each day. This j
will keep sugar plentiful and cheap. |
