MEMORIAL, DUD
OF IDE MAINE
After Years of Work, Finishing
Touches Being Made---Dedi
cation on February 15th Next
Washington, D. C.—Only finishing
touches were necessary today to com
plete the Maine Memorial in Arlington
National Cemetery to those who perish
ed when the battleship Maine was blown
up in Havana harbor in February, IS9S,
After years of work the.memorial prac
tical is ready for formal dedication on
February 15th next, the 17th anniversary
of the destruction of the Maine. The
memorial was provided for by act of
congress.
The most striking feature of the me
morial is the mainmast of the Maine it
self as »t stood on the ship. The mast
stands erect from a granite from base
constructed in the form of a Mausoleum
and which has the contour and effect of
a battleship. The base is fourteen feet
high and its diameter 26 feet. In panels
on the outer walls of the mausoleum are
the names of those who went dow*n when
the Maine was destroyed. The me
morial will be dedicated with appro
priate ceremonies. The tentative pro
gram includes addresses by President
Wilson. Secretary Daniels, and Rear Ad
miral C. D. Sigsbee. U.S.N.. retired, who
commanded the Maine as well as a mil
itary and naval demonstration.

Paris.—A picturesque story comes
from the Woevre. An artilleryman in
a letter from a village near Verdun,
says:
The Germans are in the woods and
they are as reluctant as carrion crows
to leave. They have wound barbed
wire round the trees and concealed
broken glass under the freshly-fallen
leaves. They have even gone one bet
ter. Collecting the Lebel rifles taken
on the battlefield they have buried
them vertically, leaving about six inch- !
es of bayonet protruding. If we try
to penetrate the undergrowth we run '
the risk of impaling ourselves on our j
own Lebels. Rough luck—what?
“Very little scares us nowadays
hast night we heard heavy footsteps
an odd noise like patapoum. Was it
a batch of German deserters coming
to us, or our outposts returning with
some warning? I peered into the dark
ness and within a few feet of my
head' was a fat pig. He was more
frightened than I, and decamped. We
followed, and in five minutes Mr.
Cochon was tied to the wheel of an
ammunition cart. He grunted all night
tong,
“Next morning men from the neigh
borhood battery heard of our inter
esting capture and claimed it as theirs
What cheek! We squabbled and ev
erybody asserted his right to the pris
oner. Suddenly shrapnel began to fall
In the midst of the debate. Did Prus- |
sian shells stop the row over that pig?
No, sir, for ten more minuteA the twc
batteries argued, while bullets flew
and the pig squealed.
"The chef of a portable kitchen had
his little joke. ‘How polite the boches '
are,’ said he. ‘They even send us
their marmites (black Marias) in
which to cook our puddings.’ Then
along came the captain. In the name
of heaven, he exclaimed, get hack to ]
your 75's. Cut the pig in two. A ■
military Solomon had solved the dif
ficulty, and both battalions had pork j
tor supper that night.
TENDERING OF FIRST
VICTORIA CROSS
IN THIS WAR
•
London. How the first Victoria
cross to be won in the war came to
Sergeant-Major White, A. S. C., has
just been told by that gallant officer,
as follows:
"We got orders at 3:15 at night to
move to convoy in charge of a captain.
We had not gone far before we ran
into an ambush of Uhlans, who gave it
to us hot. We were outnumbered and
I have a distinct recollection of hav
ing to go at five with my sword and
accounting for them. But we had to
retire. When we reached a place
where we could pull ourselves to
gether an officer asked if anyone had
seen the captain. On hearing that he
had been shot down I said I would
go back for him, and went back and
found him lying on the field where we
had the scrap. I picked him up, put
him across my horse and galloped
back to safety, with bullets whistling
round. I was hit in both legs, and
one stm has a bullet in it.”
Beginning as a private, White re
ceived the distinguished conduct medal
and was made a corporal for carrying
Lieutenant Roberts, mortally wound
ed, from the danger zone at Colenso,
in doing which he was hit by a bul
let near the spine. Now his gallantry
Le Cateau has brought him V. ('.
He is 85 years old and after the Boer
war served 1t years in India, leaving
the army only when one month be
fore the present war broke out.
Reinlisting. White fought at Mons
and on the Marne and Alsne. He Is
at Cardiff now, where he is about to
have the bullet extracted from his
leg. Besides the two decorations men
( tinned White has also the South Af
rican and Northwest Frontier medals.
