PARIS, April 13.—A little band of
j American college men are making a
j name for America in the Balkans to
i day. This band is composed of more
I than 50 young Americans who sailed
for France about a year ago to be
come ambulance drivers for the Am
' erican ambulance field service, under
the direction of A. Piatt Andrew, of
Laporte, Ind., and Gloucester, Mass.,
former assistant secretary of the
United States treasury.
Two sections of ambulances in ad
jdition to many others now working
on the western front are with the
French armies in the Monastir region
of reconquered southern Serbia.
Carrying wounded always at night,
over wild roads, through rocky moun
tain passes and over mountains is on
ly part of the work these American
collegians are doing, according to En
nis Brown, of Charleston, S. C., who
has just reached Paris on Jiis way to
America. Brown joined the ambu
lance service while a student at Vir
ginia university. He is the first
American to return since the Ameri
cans embarked at Marseilles for Sa
lonica.
“For months since our allies took
Monastir our ambulances have been
very busy in the Balkans,” Brown
told the United Press today.
“From our headquarters near Mon
astic we have carried the wounded
from the trenches north of Monastir,
from Koritza to the w'est, where the
French blesses come from the front
lines by mule back over the moun
tains and from other points wherever
we are directed by the French mili
tary authorities. Sometimes it has
been necessary to use good strong
American arm work to pull even our
light American cars over the difficult
roads.
“To give some sort of an idea what
i the wounded are going through, it is
sometimes 15 days before a man
reaches a good comfortable hospital
after he is wounded on the front line
west of Koritza. Our ambulances can
only penetrate as far as Koritza.
Here we take aboard men who have
traveled for days on mule back. We
then rush them as fast as possible
toward comfort in the nearest thing
to a mule that can be found in the
Balkans—our little Detroit made am
bulances.
“Sometimes the American drivers
take their cars almost to the front
trenches north of Monastir. Usually,
however, we can pick up a load in the
town itself.
“All drivers are armed with revol
vers now on account of the Turkish
j and Bulgar comitadjis, who have no
use for Americans. Several drivers,
including John Imbrey, of Washing
ton, D. C., have had adventures with
I them, hut luckily so far no one has
been injured.”
When Brown left the Balkans seven
cars of the twro sections had been
smashed by shells, four of them be
yond repair. Among the members of
his section were: Arthur Blumen
thal, of Wilmington, N. C., famous
football star at Princeton in 1913;
Lovering Hill, of New York City, for
mer Harvard student; Powell Genton,
Philadelphia, of the University of
Pennsylvania; Charles Baird, of New
York city, and many others, mostly
Harvard students. *
Before Brown went to the Balkans
he had driven an American ambulance
through the big attack at Verdun
last year. The termination of his six
months’ enlistment and ill health
caused him to leave for hime. Despite
finding himself on a ship en route
which was the victim of a submarine
in the Mediterranean, Brown reached
Toulon and Paris in safety.

(POTATOES
i IN IDE EAST
—
(Cordova Times.)
Our townsman, W. A. Hesse, is on
a business trip to New York and from
a personal letter to the editor of the
Daily Times the following interesting
excerpts are taken:
“You don’t know how badly 1 wish
1 was back in Cordova, where one can
get ‘spuds.’ There is really a potato
and onion famine on here. A theatre
on Fouiteenth street offers regular
admission for a spud, and box seats
for an onion. My curiosity prompt
i ed me to look into the receptacle for
' ‘tickets,’ and sure enough there was a
! tine pile of potatoes, none large, 1 ad
mit, but genuine potatoes. Some lusty
spendthrifts (always found in«a great
i city like this) had actually deposited ;
onions.
“I am informed that the price of j
potatoes had gone to 11 and 12 cents,
per pound, while onions went to 18
cents. In several nice restaurants
the following appears on the bill of
fare:
"On account of the scarcity of po
tatoes in the market we are compelled
to substitute the following dishes:
Boiled rice and baked spaghetti—cus
tomers to have their choice.’
“You can get potatoes, but they look
at you when you order them, and you
pay for them. /
“A prominent Philadelphia man told
me that all Philadelphia public parks
will be planted wtih spuds this sea
son, and the unquestionably New York
would have to adopt the same plan.
One has to come from the West to
appreciate the food situation.
“There is about seven inches of
slush on the streets today, and more
following. A friend of mine says it’s
unusual but I don’t believe it. I want
to get back to Alaska. I have a pair
of gum boots there.”

BREMERTON, April 5.—The death
of Clarence Lampman, his wife and
two children of Bremerton, and Edwin
Pherson, of Retsil, through the
swamping of their boat, the Oliva L. J
while on a trip to Ketchikan, Alaska,
i
was reported here today. The news
came to Martin Hefner, of the Brem- I
erton Boat company, a former employ- ,
er of Lampman. Though details are j
I
lacking, it is understood that all five
of the voyagers were lost. The Oliva
L. left Bremerton about three weeks
ago for the north. Lampman was an
experienced launchman, and had fre
quently made long trips.> H. B. Lamp
man, a brother, is a former Bremer
ton police officer, and is a resident of
the city.
It doesn’t take a million
To make the world seem gay
It doesn’t take a million
To drive dull care away.
It doesn’t take a million
To make an optimist
To meet the cost of living
At every upward twist.
It doesn’t take a million
You really must confess
To make you quite contented
And bring you happiness.
It doesn’t take a million
To cure your case of blues—
To buy the meat and groceries
Your neckties and your shoes.
It doesn’t take a million
To drive all troubles hence
And make your life seem easy
Regardless of expense.
