Keep Youngsters Busy
from Dawn to Dusk
Death whined through the skies a.s
German cannon flung countless salvos
of big shells into the terrified ranks
of F'rench soldiers. Tne earth was
pock-marked with gaping eruptions
that marked the end of the winged
messengers of death, and finis for
many defenders of France. Fleeing
Poilus glanced momentarily at the
American Doughboys pressing reso
lutely to the firing line, passed them
by as fool Yankees and kept their
feet pointed toward the English Chan
nel. Getting uncomfortably close was
the German horde, forcing onward,
they thought, in their last victorious
maich to Paris.
An American artillery commander
led his men into the inferno, and
planted his guns in the positions va
cated by the French in order to use
their range data. The commander of
the routed French remonstrated:
“It is impossible to remain here;
surely you are going to retreat," he
shouted at the American officer.
"Retreat? Hell, no|” replied the
artilleryman. "We just got here."
And thus did Colonel Manus Mc-

tion. “Young man, this is a conserva
tion camp, not a waste camp,’ he
gulleys to spots of beauty, and he’s
still going at it. ‘ Keep Off’ signs are
as much in evidence at the post as
are rookies. |
Another thing which the General'
dotes upon is economy. He has a pe- j
culiar flair for .saving all used envel-,
ope and using them for scratch pa- j
per. Last year, when the Civilian'
started but were discarded
completion due to errors.
General McCloskey is 60 now, but
his face, figure and bearing stamp
him as a younger man. Since his
graduation from West Point in 1894
he has been in the thick of Ameri
ca’s wars, and in each he has dis
tinguished himself for exceptions’
service. Testimony to his bravery are
the words of his comrades and the
decorations he bears; the Distinguish
ed Service Medal ,the Croix de
Guerre with gold star and two palms,
the Legion of Honor, the Purple Heart
and the Silver Star Medal. The list
of stations at which he has served
reads like a guide book of the
’,'nited States Army.
Tar Heels are not so familiar with
General McCloskey's fighting rec
ord, but practically every section of
the State knows him for a civic-
minded man doing his utmost to make
i a good adopted Carblinian.
Any time the General is invited to

OLD BEXHESDA |
By BION H. BUTLER |
In an extended hook review in last week’s Sunda.v g
01)ser’v'er, Archibald Henderson, who is prol)abl.v the mo.'t H
capal>le literary critic in North Carolina, says briefly of §
Kion Butler’s “Old Bethesda:” 8
“A local work of historic interest §
and rare (juality, by a gifted Journalist 0
and striking personality, Bion H. But- a
ler’s “Old Bethesila,” (Gros.sett and Dun- «

list, .James Boyd.
It takes a good book to get that kind of a
statement from Archibald Henderson.

Among other things, General Mc
Closkey likes his answers straight.
No hedging or beating around the
bush for him. “Yes, sir” or “no, sir”
is what he wants. He puts no stock in
statements beginning with “It i.s be
lieved” or “maybe.”

General McCloskey has the high
est regard for his war-time com
rades. In the recreation room of the
Headquarters Battery of the Second
Battalion, 17th Field Artillery, there
is a large photograph of him, auto
graphed “To my gallant comrades of
the Seventeenth.” The 17th w'as part
of the brigade of artillery that he
commanded in France.
Possessor of an extraordinary
memory. General McCloskey relates
events and dates of historical iuci-
dents with precision. He is a devout
Episcopalian, and regularly attends
the monthly chapel services at Fort
Bragg.
General McCloskey was born in
Pittsburgh on April 24, 1874. Upon
graduation from West Point, he joined
the famed Reilleys Battery as a lieu
tenant, serving with that band in the
Spanish-American War, the Phillip-
pines Insurrection and in the Boxer
Campaign in China. He was wounded
in the guerilla warfare of the Philip
pines. He saw service on the border
during the Mexican disturbance. Six
teen years ago this month, he was in
jured in the battle of Soissons, and
was cited for gallantry in action
aganist the enemy.
Recently, Ambassador Josephus
Daniels, when bidding General Mc
Closkey goodbye after a pleasant vis
it at the post, told his cordial host:
“When I see the Army Chief of Staff
in Washington I'm going to tell him
that here you are donig a 100 per
cent job and then gome.”
