There need be no comparison In the ways of duty, if each does simply the best that occasion allows him.

SOUTHERN AVIATOR DIGS FROM PRISON AND SWIMS RHINE Calls “Y" Work In German Prisor. Camp “Life Saver,” While Con fined At Villingen. New York, Feb. ... —Lieutenant George Puryear, of Memphis, Tenn., an aviator, was one of a trio of hardy American adventurers who were suc cessful in a wild dash for liberty from the Villingen prison camp on October 6. Sixteen men made the attempt, but only Puryear, Lieutenant Harold Willis of Boston, and Naval Lieuten ant Isaacs of Portsmouth, Va., got away. Word has just been received at Y. M. C. A. headquarters here con cerning their almost hopeless esca pade. The men brought back remarkable accounts of Y. M. C. A. work even at Villingen. “The ‘Y’ sent us books of all kinds and even sporting goods,” said Lieut. Puryear. “We played basketball and volley ball incessantly—our space was too small for baseball and football. I tell you, those games were life savers to us, and they kept us in fair physi cal condition.” It Is reported that Puryear and his comrades slipped out of the camp through a tunnel under the wire. All but the three named were headed off before they reached the river Rhine, but the intrepid trio swam the river— a terrible feat in itself —and made their way kito Holland. MONEY SENT HOME BEFOREJIG BATTLE Doughboys “Cleaned Pockets’’ for Home Folks, When Return From Fight Was Uncertain. Y. M. C. A. Has Delivered Millions of Dollars For Amex. Paris, Feb. ... —The steady unsel fishness of the American soldier, shown by the way he “cleaned his pockets’ of money before going into action, to be sent home if he didn’t come back, is told by W. J. Baker of Portchester, N. Y., who served eleven months as a Y. M. C. A. worker with the 26th Division. His particular charge was the third battalion of the 103rd infantry. He joined that unit on the St. Mihiel front, went with them to Chateau Thierry, and later was in the famous St. Mihiel clean-up and the drive before Verdun. “It was just before that action be gan,” said Baker, “that I saw the finest example of the characteristic unselfish ness of the boys. They ‘cleaned their pockets’ for the folks at home. They knew they were going up against the real thing, and they wanted all their money to go home in case they never came back. In all, I was entrusted with 8,000,000 francs upwards of $1,500,000 before that attack. We handled such funds through the regu lar Y. M. C. A. service established for sending money from soldiers to rela tives in America.” Baker lived with* his battalion, and saw lively times, as the “Yankee Division,” as it was called, was kept on the fighting front almoßt continu ously. Red Triangle Man Tells Of Serving At Chateau Thierry The Y. M. C. A. has been criticized because it was said that it had no one at the fighting in the region of Cha teau Thierry. The other day, Ernest C. Bardwell, a New York man, came back from France, broken in health because of his strenuous work in that region. Mr. Bardwell was one of a party of Y. M. C. A. men who entered Cha teau Thierry village with supplies at 10 o’clock on the morning of July 22 and worked all day and far into the night serving the boys who were beat ing back the German counter-attacks. The last German prisoners, he said, were taken out of Chateau Thierry at 8:30 o’clock on the same morning. THE Y. M. C. A. IN FAR EAST The work of the Y. M C.

Many physicians oi note are respon sible for the assertion that the red headed are more resistant to disease than less fiery-haired persons, and Sir Arbuthnot Lane expresses the view that “a disease becomes less virulent In type when It gains entrance into the body of a red-head than when it at tacks a person with hair of a more modest color.” A Great Victo-y "Self-mastery is gained by little vic tories at a time, and every new vic tory gives us fresh strength for great er victories in the future.”—Exchange.
