B B B A little heroic work involving the snitching of i-ome hacon and, candles starts off the narrations today, written by R. C. Cheshire, 2925 ' -i Chester street. BRAVE deeds are not always recognized by our government Being a member of Company L, Eighteenth infantry. First, division. I wish to relate a little heroic work on my part after our skirmish at Cantlgny which did not, win a medal for me. Our company was holding the third line trench just to the left of Cantlgny. I was standing guard when a stray bullet killed my buddy, doing guard duty at my left. I was detailed to carry him back to the company headquarters, about a quarter mile away. It being the duty of each member of our squad to provide grub wherever we could find it. I spied a nice slab of bacon and aome largecandles, which was a rare article on our menu. Hanging back until every one else was outside, I slipped the bacon and candles under my coat. I was In such a hurry to get back to my dugout that I went away and left my rifle at the entrance of the captain's dugout. After traveling about 200 yards in a zig-zagging communication trench T missed my rifle Carefully caching my loot, I returned. Carefully slipping up to the entrance of the dugout I reached for my rifle, but it was gone. Just then the captain’s “dog robber" came out. I asked him for the rifle and he said the captain wanted the owner of that gun to report to him. The next few moments undoubtedly were the most trying of my life. I received the worst bawling out ever I was branded the poorest soldier in the A. E. F. and felt the smalcst. The captain ended by telling me that if I lost my rifle within gun range of Germany it would be just too bad for me. When the candles were cut in two-inch lengths and enough burning under our messkits to fry the bacon I was declared a hero, and was awarded an additional slice of bacon. The severe tongue lashing I received from my captain was soon soothed by the wonderful flavor of good old United States bacon.

Sergeant Newply, 4/ South Tuxedo street, who served with the Twenty-fourth battalion, British machine gun corps, tells one on the nonpi ussed ca pta in. AMERICAN engineers had built a light railway on the Somme, back of Kosselle. My company was waiting to be transported to the front over this line. For some reason no train turned up. The American officer dispatched a runner back to the British officer with information that the line had been blown up. The runner came up to me and asked for the “Big Noise.” I took him to the captain. He was so English that he wore a monocle. The doughboy saluted, saying. "Are you the big noise of this ear crush? You've got to huff the plates, as the doggone train is ofl the metal.” The captain looked at me and said. "I say. sergeant, what is the blooming fellow talking about?” BBS It wasn't blood, it was broth. So Lemuel L. Taylor, who lives at 2531 Caroline street, felt greatly relieved. WE had been assigned to deck quarters on a transport goir , to France. One evening while we were at mess our ship gave a distress call, then the bugle blew, which meant that we were to rush to our assigned quarters. We had some kind of broth for supper, which tasted so good that I was determined not to lose my share. I jumped up. put the top on my messkit and thrust it into my shirt front. While I was running to my quarters, one of big guns on the boat fired. It frightened me and I lumped so hard the broth snlashed out of the messkit. It soaked through to my sktn and I swore that I had been shot. The warm broth felt like blood and I certainly was relieved when I found out what really had happened.

Probably a 6,000-foot dive through mid-air at a speed of 235 miles an hour in a plane that has a 1,000-pound bomb as cargo doesn’t come under the heading of "safety first.” But that was the record-break-ing stunt performed by W. H. McAvoy, a naval flyer, shown above after his daring feat at the Anacostia Naval Air station, Washington. He successfully pulled his plane out of the long plunge and landed safely.

THE INDIANAPOLIS TIMES

VIOLENT FIGHT ON IN ALABAMA TO BEAT HEFLIN Ban on Hoovercrats on Ticket Brings Campaign Complications. A complicated political situation bas arisen in Alabama from the refuse! of Democrats to permit "Hoovercrats’* on the state primary ticket. The following article Is the first of a series of three by Morris De Haven Tracy, t’nlted Press staff correspondent, dealing with the problem. BY MORRIS DE HAVEN TRACY t'nited Press Staff Correspondent MOBILE, Ala., April 7.—Alabama rapidly is warming up to one of the most violent political battles in its recent history, with Senator Thomas Heflin the storm center. Heflin, famed for his denunciations of the pope and for his bolt- ! ing the party in 1928 to support Herbert Hoover against Alfred E. Smith, was barred from seeking the Democratic nomination to succeed himself by the Democratic state committee. Consequently, he is running as an independent, hoping to rally such heavy support that he can establish himself as the leading Democrat ol Alabama. A suit now pending before the state supreme court has as its aim the restoration of Heflin to the Democratic fold, but many feel that the action of the state committee and subsequent events caused a breach too wide to fill. Heflin Is Confident Two candidates now oppose each other on the Democratic ticket. They are John H. Bankhead, retired, of Birmingham, brother of Congressman W. B. Bankhead of Alabama, the first to file against Heflin, and Frederick I. Thompson, Mobile publisher, who entered the race after the state committee’s action. Thompson has capitalized revelations in the power investigations and thus far his platform seems to be directed chiefly against the Alabama Power Company. Heflin, with is usual militant tactics, maintains he will “lick them all to a frazzle.” Bankhead, since the committee’s action, maintained that the committee represents the official will of the party, and it is not for him to speak after the committee has acted. But in Birmingham there have arisen those who feel differently on the subject, notably Horace Wilkin'on, attorney, through whose action the situation has gone into the courts. Situatten Is Confused He asked an injunction to restrain officials of Jefferson county from proceeding with the primary His claim was that the state committee’s action illegally set up one set of qualifications for voters and another for candidates. If the court upholds Wilkinson’s contention the whole situation will be thrown into confusion and the committee will have to untangle it. The facts seem to be that no one is certain just what ought to be done, and until the court rules, the campaign probably will proceed along the lines now drawn. Several radio receiving stations have been established in Russia, where crowds, may assemble to hear concerts.

EX-COUNTESS MAY WED MAN SHOT BY HEI Alice Silverthorne’s NearTragic Romance Bids for Happy Ending. Hu Unit'd Press LONDON, April T—The romance :of Raymond De Trafford, British j aristocrat, and Alice Silverthorne, ! American-born countess whose emotional career on the continent reached its climax when she shot De Trafford and herself—“slightly” —in the compartment of a French train, may have a happy ending. According to the Daily Telegraph, De Trafford and Miss Silverthorne, formerly the countess De Janze, are to be married. For three years the lives of the girl who was born in Buffalo and the young man who comes of the bluest of English stock have been inter- 1 woven. They met in Africa, when Alice ’ was the countess. On the objection of the young man’s father, Sir Humphrey De Trafford, their friendship was broken off. In 1927, the countess followed De Trafford into the compartment of a railway train at the Gare Du Nord, in Paris, and after an argument shot him and then turned the gun on herself. The gallant De Trafford insisted It was all an accident, and the countess emerged from the escapade with a small fine and the less of her children in the divorce suit that fol- j lowed. G. A. R.

BRITISH ARREST SCORES IN INDIA SALT UPRISING Gandhi Untouched When He Leads Hindu Millions in First Overt Act. Bv United Press BOMBAY, India, April 7.—Force of the British empire descended today upon disciples of Mahatma Gandhi, India’s “peaceful rebel,” and threw scores of revolutionists into jail for their deliberate defiance of English law. These disciples of the Mahatma, including his son, were hustled into prison in the first twenty-four hours of Gandhi’s national campaign of civil disobedience. First Overt Act Gandhi’s gesture of revolt against the laws forbidding manufacture of salt, and against the burden of the salt taxes, thus was successful, in that it produced the effect for which the revolutionist had prayed, i It was an overt act against Brit- ! ish rule, and it brought instant retaliation from the government. Gandhi himself was untouched, 1 although it was he, at the salt marshes of Dandi, who signalized the beginning of the revolt and his disobedience campaign by scooping the first, dipper of salt-laden ■ water from the sea, while a whiteI clad host cheered the ceremoniaL Police Act Quickly Throughout the other sections of India, however, where Gandhi’s appeal led hundreds of zealous followers to emulate his act, the police were active, closing down on the ringleaders of the theoretical revolt as soon as they had gathered the contraband salt. In many cases the official action was taken ostensibly as a “health measure,” on the grounds that the salt was not fit for human consumption. Wholesale arrests followed quickly, particularly at Ahmedabad, Gandhi’s home town and the scene of his academy.
