I Earn Admiration and Gratitude of i L Armies They Serve?Day After Day They Stuck to Their n A Posts, Ministering to tne K^p Boys in Front. Paris.?Tales of bravery and ex- I V traordinary courage shown by women J JT working with the American and Brit- | ish armies continue to interest us at j every turn over here. Day after day and month after month, women stuck to their posts in hospitals, in advanced dressing stations, in work of ministering to the boys behind the lines, without the i slightest show of fear or hysteria, while falling shell and bursting bomb tore up the earth about them. B These women have earned the adY miration and gratitude of the armies they served. Among this big number of courageous women are two young j members of the Salvation Army. Capt. i Louise Young and Lieut. Stella j Young of New York city. They shared the hardships and dangers of the ! i in frllO hflttlp I Allirmuu Ul'UglIO<>,t >u mv v, v ? , zones of France and are now continu- ! ing their work of sewing on his hut- j tons, menrling his clothes, baking pies : and doughnuts, writing letters home I and being a sister in service'with the j First American army division, now on ; German soil. Their record of work is a remark- ' able one not alone for the wonderful : assistance they were able to give but f because of the opportunity they had f by reason of the confidence placed in them by tho military authorities for service in the furthest advanced posi tions permitted, to women. Born Into Salvation Army. Those two young women were virtually bom into Sal vat ion * Army work, for their parents for years were working members of this groat peace army. They wont to France last February. The' following notes of their work, jotted down in diary form, gives in part the interesting story of work done by these two j plucky American gins: , ^ "February ? At last we are in France! We have a quaint old house ; for our canteen, and where (lo you' i suppose we sleep? In a dugout under : the house next door. I say sleep, i but for several nights after we ar- j rived here we didn't sleep much. The ! village is bombed almost every night. I Two nays aner ?e nnncu ?v had our first introduction to real warfare. We had just finished cleaning up the canteen preparatory to open- j ing for business the next morning. j * We used up a scrubbing brush and several pieces of soap and a lot of I washing powder, but the place shows 1 it. My arms feel It. ^ "We have gone to our dugout. There j is something about this accommoda- j tion reminds one of wild animals enerouched in hillside holes. This comparison suggested itself to me as j I recalled the thousands of men in the armies in France who live like moles : in the earth, in trenches, in dugouts, j in shell holes, and -ifle pits. Thankful for Cots. "But we have army cots and j blankets and a wooden box for a < dressing table, with a supply of wax j candles, "fhe candles and the cots j , ma*k the dividing line between civili- j zation and the early caveman's state.

I wonder where they are now and what they are doing? "What is that dreadful noise? I never heard anything like it in all n?y life except once in the thundering crashes of a tornado out West when I was a girl of ten. I lit the candle and dressed. Perhaps a bomb ; s had billed some of our people. I hurr rled upstairs, where all was quiet. Tt is cold and damp outside, but the moon is bright. I walked over to the canteen. I lit the candle in the front room. All was peaceful there, so I went through the next room and into the kitchen. "I could have crfed with the sfght I mw. The kitchen was, or had been, covered with glass. A bomb had been dropped on that gla"s and our kitchen, which we had scrubbed to almost *nowy whiteness, was now a mass oi kroken glass and splintered wood. "The day after we are promised a I canvas roof for our kitchen. The de- j k. bris is cleared away. Two of our | men have arrived with a truckload of i ? ? ? i supplies. At last we are ai our re;u work of baking pies and doughnuts. The men have carried gallons of water from a nearby well and have helped us to prepare the coffee. "I have seen enough things or wheels today to encircle ihe globe. They all pass? through here on iheii way to the front. Huge, lumbering wagons, carrying tons and tons o 1 amimn'tion, others carrying tons ot food and other supplier; scores oi rolling kitchens, ambulances too au ' A merous to count, and several cars carrying both French and American officers. "We/are ready to serve. We. too, are now a part of this big program cf warfare. I am eager to meet the boys. <?iu-? feels a queer little thrill of excitement as they come marching up the road, one big picture of moving khaki.

"Our big tank of coffee is placed on ( a wooden box outside the .?;inteen. ; It is boiling hot. Hundreds of fresh- i lv baked doughnuts furnish ;i surprise j to flic boys as they tilt iheir fin lints ! backwards to get a hotter view of the i refreshment counter?a hit of a curi- ; osity in this place, it seems. "A youth from New York observed j this big attack on the doughnuts. . 'Gee!' he said, 'you girls must have j begun baking when we started from j the Slates.' j " 'How did you ever get up hero?* J one asked. 'Aren't you afraid of the j Boche bombs? When did yon .leave the States?' and dozens of other ques- j tions. "They liked our coffee. They pmised our apple pie. Their enthusiasm is in- j fectious. Everybody is cheered by j their presence, and as everyone says, j their self-confident manner insures j victory. "The roof of our dugout is covered J with sandbags, but the enemy is de- j termined to wreck the town. Our men I nave news to that effect. We have I Deen told by the authorities that we j must leave, as uie aaiiirer is mo nrt*?u. \ This has been a busy center for many weeks, and we give it up reluctantly. "Two weeks later: I thought it was quite an event when I distributed j floughnuts to the boys in the trenches, j Dut here we are in the thick of the ! \ battle itself. Traveling since six o'clock in the niornincr, at two we i reached a small town from which the , Hermans had been driven only a few hours before.

"The doctors are working like mad. The chief surgeon scarcely looked at j me. Tes,' he said, 'get them some- ' thin? cold to drink,- and pet it quick.' " 'We have lemons and sugar,' I said. 'We can make lemonade.' "'Do it quick,' he snapped. 'And] have it cold.' "While we squeezed lemons into a p;iiv hnctlprl nfY in the 1 uuv: r\n unit? nui\, ? camion in search of water.

Being an American, this mo- j? ment thrills one with pride. Battered j and broken in the fight, and surely suffering terribly from the awful wounds that war has inflicted, these j boys are marvelously brave. Lying there on blood-stained stretchers, calmly, patiently waiting the doctor's hand, no complaint is uttered. There i is no outcry from these young heroes, almost superhuman, it seems to me, in their super self-control." j ij: Rural Mail Carrier is | ij: Popular Among Farmers | Warrensburg. Mo.?IT. J.
