40,000 AMERICANS NOW FIGHTING
WITH THE ENTENTE ALLIES
NKW YORK, Of the 4U.U00 Ameri
cans (a rough estimate) fighting in
the armies of the Entente allies several
thousand have been killd or wounild.
Stories of their deeds of bravery and
their gallant ends trickled over the
United States from time to time, but
the vast majority of their exploits will
go unsung. The total of American
volunteers participating in the great
war will never be accurately known.
Many thousands would bo fighting
for Germany and her allies, undoubt
edly, if the British blockade did not
prevent them from reaching the front.
A Yale undergraduate, Karl Lewellyn,
who happened to he in Germany when
the conflict begun, accompanied a Ger
man regiment into Belgium without
having any official recogination and
was wounded on one of the early ba-t
tlefields, near Y'pres.
Then there was First Lieutenant
Heinrich von Heinrichshofen of St.
Louis, killed while fighting for Ger
many May 13, 1915. He was in the
insurance business in Missouri. Dur
ing the Spanish-American war he
Joined the volunteer army and rose to
the rank of captain.
Most of the American soldiers are !
i:i the Canadian corps.
Americans are prominent in the
celebrated French Foreign Legion, and
many have died in the engagements
ot that hard hitting organization.
Almost every week news comes of
the death “on the held of honor" of tin
American.
t me of the latest to fall was II. K.
Brighton Simpson son of Henry \V.
Simpson of New York, who has been
flying for the past two years in Kng
land ami France as a British aviator.
He did not die in one of the many air
battles he engaged in, however, but
came through them unscratched to
meet his end in a (lying accident in
Kngland.
Simpson had been a schoolboy in
Kton and lie fought in the flying corps
with many of his old schoolmates.
The American contingent in the
Foreign Legion suffered exceptionally
heavy losses in the Champaign battle
at the beginning of October 1915.
Lieutenant Sweeney, who had seen
service at West Point; Frederieh Cap
deville, who had already been wounded
in engagements; Kdmund C. C. Genet
of New York, a great grandson of De
Witt Clinton; Paul Pavelka of Madi
son, Conn; Klov Nerson of Milwaukee;
Ilohert Soubrain of New York; David
King of Providence, and Frank Mus
gr.'tve of New Orleans fell in this awful
Champagne attack.
In this same battle Dr. David Wheel
er, a Boston surgeon, caine to an end
truly heroic. He <111it the comparatively
safe ranks of the ambulance corps and
was wounded near the first line.
Suffering intense pain, the surgeon
crept along the battlefield, refusing to
