Niece of South Bend Woman Drives Ambulance in France

uth Uend hr;s several rf its uouun in Knnrc, but it has no am-bul-mce drivers, and having none It i- content to share in the reflected glory which con4es to it through the nier? of one of its oldest residents, Mrs. V. Crepeiu, Z1 N. Hill St. Miss Maud fitch of Lureka. Utah, daughter of Mrs. Walter Fitch, who well known here having visited hr si.ter, Mrs. Crejieau. many times, has iieen awarded tho rroix do guerre for trail intry and bravery at the front. Mis.s I'ltch is MTViru as an .t m !'ila nc.- driver of the HackettLowthei -unit, attached to a division under the tri-color. Miss l-'itrh, who arrived In France in March of last year, is most ably e)UijipM! for the work she is engaged in. F'.esides being an expert automobile o'river she is an all-around athlete, being an enthusiastic swimmer, golfer and horsewoman. She has written home some most interesting btters, which are being published serially in a leading Salt Iakc new.' p iper. Ilxtrarts from Ixtters. Extracts from a number of her letters follow: "France. July 22. 1918. '"The work in this rnagniiicent offensive b is not been either so hard or so dangerous as in the last attack. The Americans are glorious tighter.--. I am so proud of them that my h"art tdngs all the time, and their .-aicceses have aroused all my patriotism. "At lh front we have very few Americans among the wounded; the few that come in are wonderful. They are by nature so fit that even t rritic wounds seem to make them neither talk nor look differently, and their spirit is superb. The French adore them. And the poilti, who is very cold in his judgment and never carried away, being, himself the bravest and best soldier in the world, says the Americans are the most brilliant lighters ever seen. "Isn't it wonderful that our men ar going to come out clean and firetried, though it is going to cost us so much, so terribly much! "1 had to take three hoches wounded way off to tteauvais the other day. T think the one put in the top stretcher was half faking. He was bloody enoucn but ns soon as I got enroute, I noticed he had turned over and was staring through the window at me. and when he was put in he apparently couldn't move. It was really rather funny about him. because as I was leaving the hospital. I heard a terrific thumping at the window, and when I investigated I found that I was all but losing one of my boches as the stretcher was slipping out. He was in an awful funk and T couldn't help laughing. Two brancordieres came running up and helped me shove him back. "B.iilly's experience last night with hers was screaming. In the blackness and rain she backed over a railway embankment; so she yelled at her bochfs to get out which they did like lightning. Then she proceeded to let herself down the rest of the way, landing in the mud at the bottom, so she made them push her out. after which they scrambled back into the car and she steamed on. "Imagine one of our men letting that chance of escape go by, six Shop is: md PETÖTS ty - ßTrz TTSTk

hours a'aead of them of pitch blackness, the line fairly near and nothing to prevent them but a cross, unarmed ?!:!, who didn't know or didn't care whether they crot in" again. She refused to help them in, said it was too wet. "There has been hardly any of that fearful mental strain connected with ransporting th wounded this tine, it goes to show what a tremendously spiritual thing victory Is. At Compeigne it was always, 'Pauvre France,' 'Pauvre France,' muttered by them throughout the whole journey. "Now they are perfectly iulet and lie there, no matter how badly they are wounded, without a word, even happily sometimes. Aren't they a race for you? Nothing counts but their beloved France." Used to- Icprt-sin: Country. A portion of a letter written on Aug. CO follows: "I have already got used to the depressing country we drive through, especially as the boche dead have now een buried, and most of th mammoth shell holes filled in. There are still a few rather objectionably dead horses lying about, but I quite shamelessly tie a handkerchief around my nose through these districts. The first day in passing on a narrow road, a line of big camions, my hind wheel slfpped into a shell

hole and I stalled my motor right in the center of a pool of blood where three horses had been killed the night before by a bomb dropped fin the poun kitchen they had been driving, and the horror of it was the engine was so hot that I had to slide iiround in the blood for fully five minutes before the dashed thing would go!" Part of another letter reads: "My car is on the hill they fought so hard for two days, north of Chevincourt, and I Am sitting with two brancordieres on the bank at the side overlooking a stretch of exquisite country, just barely showing its scars as though its joys had already healed them, being a mile from the sal boche. "At S o'clock I curled up on the side of the road and slept soundly until 10, just barely conscious of passing' artillery and men's voices as they trudged by to the trenches. "At 11 o'clock the captain of the artillery came down and invited me up for a 'barrage,' and at 11:30 o'clock, with cotton in our ears, we stood close up while our three soixante quinze and twocent cinquante cinqs behind us spit out 1,000 shells, I pulling a 7 5 occasionally! "It was thrilling beyond anything else, as none of us had ever assisted at a barrage and very likely never will again, as tomorrow they wilf be away ahead of us. A man on the ground at my feet received the directions through a telephone. The directions wore yelled Immediately from one gunner to another, always as the troops advanced 'plus lion!' I'll not ever forget that scene on the little hill in the woods behind Chevincourt." DON'T SELL STAMPS TO BUY LIBERTY BONDS 'War Savings stamps should not be cashed for the purpose of buying Liberty bondsL declares the Indiana War Savings committee in a statement issued Saturday. "Such a procedure," continues the statement, 'is merely robbing Peter to pay Faul. It gets the government nowhere, the individual is not rendering any additional service; but. on the contrary, is really doing an injury to the Liberty loan cause. "When a purchaser of War Savings stamps cashes them for the purpose of buying Liberty loan bonds he is simply drawing on the United States treasury through the postoftlce for funds to turn back into the United States treasury In the form of Liberty bonds. It. therefore, appears manifest that the government is no money ahead by tho transaction and if any individual believes he is serving his country twice in this transaction, he is very much mistaken. On the contrary, by taking money derived from the cancellation of War Savings stamps and buying Libertv bonds he absorbs part of the quota of Liberty bonds which had he not taken it up. would have been taken up by some on else who had the money to buy them and did not need to cash in his War Savings stamps. "The Indiana War Savings committee believes that in a majority of tho cases where thU has been done it has t-et-n due to the fact that the persons doinT it had not thought the matter thro'igh, although there are indications in some casns that the individual was simply attempting to escape p. is duty in the Liberty loan campaign by cashing in his War S. ings stamps. "The Indiana committee is. therefore, urging upon all postmasters that they use their utmost endeavors to prevent a practice of this kind and to appeal to the patriotism and good sens' of the people of Indiana not to resort to tuch a dubious practice." MINNIE NUNAN FILES SUIT FOR DIVORCE Alleging that her husband struck her. called her vile rames and compelled her to leave her home a r.umWr of times late at night. Minnie Nur. in tiled sv.it for absolute divorce from her husband, Iouis K. Nunan. In superior court Saturday morning. They vre married Feb. 1915. and separated Oct. 2:, 1M. She claims that her husbind neer provide. 1 for her and made her work to upport herself. She asks for an nbsopjt" divorc and the right to resume h-r former name, Minr.ie F.ollrr.an.
