Tho saga of the first volunteer troop of the ' United States to arrive at the front In France a regiment of engineers recruited from the operating staffs . of the New England rail reads nas - iust been written. It is entitled "A History of the 14th Engineers, Unit ed States Army, from May, 1917, to May, 1919," and dedicated "To the Memory of those members of th regiment who died in France." Incorporated in the volumo is a tribute to these 1,200 railway men of New England by General Ayl mer Haldane, who commanded the 6th British Corps while the 14th En- ?ineers were' attached U that body rom August, 1917, to May, 1918. The British referred to their allies affectionately as "The 14th Ameri can R- E.'s (IRoyal Engineers). "At the time the 14th Engineers came under my command our tailure TOURS WEST IN A STUDY OF HYGIENE for light railways was being repair ed, but the personnel necessary to operate them was lacking," General Haldano writes. "The arrival, how ever, of our comrades from across the Atlantic speedily changed the aspect of affairs in. this respect, and soon in many directions trains were carrying men, Supplies and material irom mo ruiinvmi ut DuimtuA-uu-mont to the vicinity cf the forward trenches." The 6th British Corps at that time was holding the line just south ot Ai-ras. Early in 1918 came the tre mendous effort of the Germans to break through the British lino and reach the sea. The 0th Corps, bore its full share of the brunt those March and April days. Of the paj-t played in this activity by the 14th Engineers, General Haldane writes: "The oncoming wave of Germans bore down for a time all endeavors to oppose it, and when at length it was brought to a standstill the light railways on the front of the crops, from railhead to 1 the . forward trenches had changed hands. Now was the opportunity for the 14th Engineers who at this critical mo ment proved that, while they could operate railways with all the skill required, they could as readily han dle a rifle and share in the gfcater dangers of the firing lino- I can vividly recall my. chief engineer, Brigadier-General Harvey, reporting to me how stubbornly the 14th En gineers had taken part with the Brit ish infantry in helping to stem the onrush of the German troops, and my pride in having those gallant New Englandcrs under my command. The. reginient included two companies- from the Boston and Maine Railroad and other smaller New England lines; two from the New York, New Haven and Hartford, and one each from the Maine Central and Boston and Albany. The lieutenant colonel was Albert T. Perkins, a railroad executive from the Middle West, and the battalion commanders Major B. W. Guppy, bridge engineer of the Boston anil iMwinc, and Major D. S- Brigham, then trainmaster of the Boston and Albany. (By Associated Press) ' EUOUNK, Ore., June 27. As c special representative of the associa tion of American Universities.

I he European war, ho said arose from the fact that the position of some of the great powers was not clearly defined.

Two " Carbons" one is Flinty, Hard All motor oils, as all oil makers know, deposit! some carbonaceous residue. t One kind is gritty, flinty, hard hard enough to score cylinders and scratch rings, pistons, valves and bearings. It has a tendency to cling. It acts as an abrasive, causing wear. It becomes incandescent, pre-ignitioh following. It coats spark plugs, short-circuiting the spark. 1 Lost compression results from its accumulation around valve heads and seats. The Other Kind The residue from Aristo Oil is fluffy, soft. Because of its non clinging tendency, most of it blows out with the exhaust. It is softer than the metal it touches, so can't cause wcar. It is deposited in smaller quantities than the other kind. Cars run thousands of miles farther without pre-ignition, short circuiting, or loss of power through impaired compression. Hence four motor troubles are eliminated by it in addition to its service as a perfect lubricant. There's a deal more satisfaction in such oil.
