From a tousled-headed youth, who at the age of 15. ran away from home to. follow the girl he loved, to a stern army captain, with d sprinkling of gray, hairs at the ago of 27, and with a citation for efficient-1 services in France rose Captain Eari Harklns, a member of the local army recruiting ptaff. And Just to make the story of his life still ; more . readable, he jumped on a French train and stopped it before it could run . down and Injure a large number of men in his command, s -- " The citation arrived Saturday after noon. .The citation for his perseverance and consequent success and for his quick thinking won't be made verbally, but they exist In his own knowledge of bin accomplishments. - f '-"-- The part about the chase after . the little ' girl who waa moving with her parents to Pendleton, does not receive much comment from; the captain. His father had disappeared when the boy was six years old, and his foster par ents did not encourage the young love affair, so he took It all on himself, and from that time on he made his own way in the world. TRAILED AT PRESIDIO 'After- about three years of knocking around he enlisted in the coast artillery corps -of the army and spent part of his enlistment period in the Philippines. After hia honorable discharge in 1914. he tried to enlist in the Canadian army for service in the war, but, was not ac cepted Then he went to live in South western '-Washington and joined the Washington National guard. . When war broke out with Germany, he' signed up for the. first Presidio of ficers training camp and finished there with, hia commission as a captain in August. 1917. From September, 1917, to May, 1918. he served at the Bentcfa arsenal "in California, hia commission being in the - ordnance department. In May, June and July he served as chief military Instructor in the ordnance sup . ply school at Camp Hancock, oa., and then he went overseas in command of an ordnance unit, - :. From September 12 to January 23 he served as executive officer to the chief salvage officer of the First army, and it was in this connection that he re ceived bis citation for such efficient services, the citation reading : SHOWED GREAT : ABILITY For especially meritorious" services as assistant to the chief salvage officer of the First army during the St. Mlhlel and r Meuse-Argonne offensives. In charge of the salvage of ordnance ma terial. During this period he exhibited conspicuous ability and his duties were at all times performed In an emmlnent ly satisfactory manner." The citation was made by 'Brigadier General. J. H.rRlce, chief ordnance of ficer of' the expendittonary forces.' Ilia little piece of individual heroism. Which is not recorded in the annals of the A. K F., but nevertheless was re sponsible for a good many doughboys re turning home who might not otherwise, occurred at Brest on August 12, 1918. He was at the head of a large detach ment of men at the time, and the men were between ; two railroad tracks in such a way that the oncoming t train must have crushed many of them. A string of freight cars was On the other track, so that the men had no chance to escape. : , . ,- HATED MEN'S I.ITE8 Running forward to signal the en gineers to stop, he could not make the Frenchmen understand. As the : train .sped on toward the men. Captain Har klns jumped aboard, and climbed into the cabin of the engine. He had many years ago worked on a railroad in Ore gon and his experience came in handy, for he knew enough to grab the throt tle and throw off the power. By that time the engineer caught his idea and the train waa brought to a stop, not. however, before it had already injured three men so badly that they had to go to the hospital.. ' Several others were Injured slightly. Captain Harklns was recommended for a majority and has a copy oZ the letter from -the brigadier general in command of the' ordnance department of the ex peditionary forces to the war depart ment, asking that if possible, the pro motion be made after his return to the United States. . He has also been recommended for a permanent commis sion as a captain In the regular army. C Quick Too Slow . Kansas City; Mo., July 26. (I. N. S.) B.

Will My Heart Stand? A Vital Question for Every Man Who Smokes or r . Chews to Answer i ' . May Cost a Life to Fla Oat By Experiment. ' The heart of every user of tobacco bears a - double burden. It does its al lotted .task and then fights nicotine for supremacy. As long as the heart wins he lives; hen tt loses be dies, but be fore the final victory ot nicotine you pass through many stages of decline and decay and suffer many pangs. Hearts are like human beings some are . stronger than others, therefore some hearts -will stand more tobacco than ethers. but there I a limit to what any heart can stand. The- man - who puts this addi tional' strain on his heart a dozen times a day by . smoking cigarettes, a pipe or cigars or chewing tobacco is taking a madman's chance with health and Ufa to . lose and nothing to win. but the chance that he may not lose them. He is inci aid ing in st costly habit at the expense -of precious health. Ask any doctor any where, and he will tell you that using tobacco Is injurious and that it is far better to quit the habit than to experi ment - to find how much tobacco your heart will stand without serious results.

FTHB first days of July. 191,, it be came apparent that the Germans would be unable to launch more than one other great attack, and towards the tenth of the month it was believed cer tain that if the enemy attacked the blow would fall in Champagne. Thanks to the arrival of American troops, the allied reserves were now sufficiently nu merous to justify a counter-attack, and If, as every high command waa con(l dtnt, the Champagne front could hold with the " troops ah-eady allotted to it. the allied command , retained ' complete freedom : in the selection of the front upon -. which - the i counter-attack : should fall. The selection by the Germans of Champagne and the eastern face of the Marne salient, as the fronts on which they were to make their last effort was fortunate for the allies ; for this de cision of the enemy allowed an allied 4TF U.S.DIVJSOM vrom 3uly 18 TO CTUUV 22. .

Paris is still France, and the approach of the German linen along the Marne i toward - Paris had caused apprehension throughout France ; it was essential that the threat oh Paris be relieved at the earliest possible moment. Aside from reasons of morale, purely ' material reasons also demanded the reduction of the Marne salient as the first task of ' the allies when the offensive should pass to their hands. , Paris contained a multitude of essential war industries, and so long as the Ger mans maintained their- lines these lnj, dustries were seriously hampered by the constant long range bombardments and air raids. The great east and west rail road through Chateau-Thierry must also be regained byi the allies as a first necessity in the : troop movements ' re quired in any. general offensive.' . ALLIED COC5TEE ATTACK v , But while with each day there came Increased certainty - that the '-allied counter-attack f f could be n properly launched to the north of Chateau-Thierry, and while the French armies on that front began to plan accordingly, the allied resources were .not sufficiently great to permit a final decision until after the actual launching of the hostile attack ; it thus happened that only on the sixteenth could many of the actual preparations be; commenced. , i The general plan for the allied counter-attack f : July ia involved at tacking: the ; entire west face of the Marne salient. This main attack was at first to pivot ' on Chateau-Thierry ; L later the allies in the region of Chateau- Thierry were to take up the attack. The allies were also, to attack that part of the German salient south of the Marne and to the southwest of Rheims. The Sawmill Owner Fined for Letting Sparks Scatter Medf ord, July 26.

The three divisona selected to -break the most sensitive part of ; the German line were the Second American and the First Moroccan (French) and the First Amer ican, If these three divisions could seize and hold the heights south of Soissons ' the German position in- the salient proper : became untenable and its ulti mate reduction was assured. THE FIGHT IS ON At 4:35 a. m., July 18, after some of the American infantry had double timed Into line and when some of their, guns had .-.barely gotten Into , position, the First' and Second American divis ions and the First Moroccan division jumped off. i ' Notwithstanding their des perate resistance, the Qermans Were driven back and the results upon which ultimate success depended were secured. The Second division advanced eight kil ometers In the first 26 hours, took alxrct 8000 prisoners, two batteries of 150 mm. guns, 66. light guns and 15,000 rounds of 77 mm. ammunition, besides much other property. This division suffered some ; 4000 casualties and, as it had made exhausting marches to Teach the battlefield, and ' having recently been withdrawn from its desperate fighting at Chateaeu-Thlerry, the division was relieved after the second day. The Flrvt division suffered 7000 cas ualties, of whom it Is believed that not one was a prisoner.? Sixty per cent of its infantry officers . were . killed or wounded, in the 16th and 18th Infan try all field officers were casualties except the colonels, and in ' the : 26th infantry all field officers, including the PERMITS TO LEAVE U.

FIGHTIJTOi QUALITIES PKOVED ; Never ; again could friend or enemy question the fighting qualities of the American soldier! ' But while the work of the First and Second divisions attracted most atten tion -because of the special importance of their attack, they were not the only American divisions 'to participate tn the July 18 offensive. A little to the south of the Second division the Fourth division was in line with the French, and the Fourth division, joined .in the attack and continued to advance until July 2 J when it. was assembled and 'as a. division relieved ' the 4 2d division on August 2.. The 26th division waa just northwest of Chateau-Thierry and .to gether with the 167th French division formed the Fir at American' corps, which waa. the first American corps to ex ercise tactical command. This corps acted as a pivot in the beginning and later had to advance under peculiarly, difficult conditions, a- For the 26th di vision maneuver was much -complicated In order that the front ; of the division might conform to . the . general plan : "not only : was -it necessary for the division to pivot during attack, but at one time the right half of the division had to attack simultaneously In two directions.
