U. S. DOUGHBOY INDIVIDUALIST . . IN PEACE, WAR Has Friendly Spirit and Courage That Others Lack. By Wilfi'am Philip Simms, Timm Staff Corrmnnndrnt PHILADELPHIA, Oct. 15.—The American doughboy is inimitable. He is the friendliest, fault-findingest, frolieingest, fightingest citizen-sol-dier extant. It has been my lot to watch British, French, Italian, Belgian, Polish, Serbian. Czecho-Slo-vakian, Roumanian, Chinese, Russian, Indian and other soldiers, in action and out, and Americans are dfferent from them all. • The Amercan thinks differently, fights differently, plays differently. He’s an individualist in peace and war. I saw this in France during the World War, then forgot it, only to ba- reminded of it here watching the American Legion’s big parade this week. In the summer of 191S the British were attacking astride the Scarpe, east of Arras. North of the little stream—we’d call it a branch or a creek over here—were the Londoners; south of it the Australians. Twice in two days the Australians had moved forward, but had to come

back because the Londoners were held up at Chipilly, a precipitous cliff, all over which the Germans had planted machine guns. So out the Londoners were yanked and a perfectly green outfit of Americans, mostly from Illinois, were ordered in at a moment’s notice. They didn’t even have time to get into position before the British barrage began. This was about dusk. Panting and tired from their double-quick hike, those boys swarmed over Chipilly like ants ocer an ant hill, notstopping until called off a couple of miles in advance of the immensely tickled Anzacs. “Say,” exclaimed the Australian cohimander, one of the most artistic eussers in the allied armies, “those Yanks are fighting bearcats. But hell’s bells, I’m afraid they'll be learning my boys to swear.” There was a twinkle in his eyes, however, and in his voice a tone of sincere affection. I saw one of those American boys the next morning. He was from the stockyards district of Chicago whose buddies made such a fine showing here last night in peace time “big parade.’’ Legs Were Broken He was lying on the ground, helpless, waiting his turn at first aid treatment. Those machine guns on Chipilly had mowed his legs from under him, breaking both of them.' “Here I come,” .he grumbled, “all the way from Chicago hoping to get me a couple of Heinies. And now look at me.” "Didn’t you get a Heinie?” I asked. “Hell no,” he, replied. “They got me two minutes after we went over. Crapped out on the first pass. I didn’t get no run for my money at.ill. Ain’t it hell?” What I’m trying to do is to illustrate how and why our doughboys is different. It’s not because he cusses, but because he’s in such deadly earnest. And it’s not because he loves war, for he doesn’t, but because when he plays he plays and when he fights he fights. He’s tho%-

ough. And, being an individualist, if he must go to war he makes it his own personal war and he seems to feel not only "his outfit, but he himself, must make a decent showing. Most other soldiers are but impersonal parts of a great machine. 600,000 Saw Parade Six hundred thousand people, it Is estimated, saw that parade of Legionnaires. It was the biggest in the history of the American Legion. It filed past the reviewing stand from shortly after lunch until Jong after night fall; and while there were banners and flags and uniforms galore, and much good drumming and bugling and marching, it did not impress me in the least as being a military display. However perfectly drilled they were—and there were organizations that seemed to approach perfection In that line—still they struck me only as citizens having a good time. Nevertheless, like a silver thread reaching from one end to the other of that vast procession of ex-service men, and weaving this whole convention into one piece is the thought expressed in the legion’s constitution telling the wherefore of all, ’’For God and country to ■ preserve the memories and incidents of the great war, to safeguard and transmit to posterity the principles of justice, freedom and democracy.

YOUTH IS MADE MILLIONAIRE AS GIRL SAYS ‘YES’ \ Had to Have Wife in Six / Months;' Married at Midnight. Hu Timm Special CHICAGO, Oct. 15.—A tremoring “yes” from Martha Marcusson, a pretty cloak model, made Her boy friend Pat F. O'Hara a multi-million-aire. Except for the absence of a villain. the story which came to light here might have fitted the pattern of an oldtime melodrama in which the fdithe hero leaped villainous obstacles, married the heroine one minute liefore midnight and thus came into the millions which were* rightfully his providing he had acquired a wife on the date specified by the will. Is Sole Heir * Pat was sole heir to the $12,500,000 estate left by his foster mother, the late Mrs. Maude King of Kingsville, Texas. By the terms of her will he had to lie married within six months or lose the vast ranch kingdom In the Lone Star State. Several times Pat proposed to his girl friend. But Martha who had where social custom frowned on hasty marriages even in millions are involved, held back. Almost desperate as he felt the wealth slipping, Pat proposed again while he and Martha were seated at a table in a Niles Center night club. "Yes,” consented Martha, sealing the fate of the fortune. Reaches Climax Then with the aid of romantic traffic policemen the climax was reached swiftly. It was 11 o’clock at_ night hut Pat had previously obtained the marriage license. He borrowed a ring and whispered a word to a motorcycle polisemnn who routed out Judge Pat Collins to perform the ceremony. The judge, sensing the romance of the affair, ordered out a squad of motorcycle policemen to eseprt O’Hara and his brlde-to-lki to the altar. 'I hen just as the clock was pealing the hour of midnight, Pat and Martha were married under the tiny gable roof of the building which serves Niles Center both as a court room and a fire engine house. •O’Hara is now i n Texas awaiting the final execution of the estate over which he l>eeomcs master, Nov. 30. The cost of living declined 1.7 per cent during the first six months of 1926, according to the Department of Labor.
