WINNETKA WEEKLY TALK, FRIDAY, FEBRUARY 8, 1918 MEMORIAL FOR ANDREW C0 URTNEY CAMPBELL, JR. ) | * Hospital will be established in France as a tribute to the gallantry and self-sacrifice of Kenilworth aviator, who was killed in an engagement with three German airplanes on the western front. | S A TRIBUTE to the gallantry and self-sacrifice of Andrew Courtney Campbell, Jr, who was killed during the first week of October, 1917, in an engage- ment with three German airplanes, plans were inaugurated last Saturday toward the establishment of a memo- rial hospital in France. With the announcement that $1,500 had already been subscribed for the Andrew Courtney Campbell, Jr. Emergency Hospital, friends of young Campbell bent their efforts toward obtaining several thousand dollars for the hos- pital, which will be stationed in a French village not far behind the fir- ing line. Andrew Courtney Campbell was the son of Mr. and Mrs. Andrew Court- ney Campbell of Kenilworth avenue, Kenilworth, and was a member of the Lafayette Escadrille. Mrs. Samuel W. Allerton, Mrs. Hugh Johnston Mc- Birney and Robert W. Allerton start- ed the fund with contributions of $500 each. Mrs. McBirney will act as treasurer and will receive sub- scriptions at the office of the Ameri- can Fund for French Wounded, room 313, 60 East Washington street. Inspiration to Others. ; "A number of friends of this splen- did boy and his family," said Mrs. McBirney, "have felt that there should be some testimonial to his gallant life and death, and we feel that it would be .an inspiration to others. "The most effective memorial, we think, would be one that would help the people he died to help. We hope to raise the necessary money by sub- scriptions from young Campbell's friends and from the public. No sub- scription will be either too large or too small to be gratefully acknowl- edged." By a strange caprice of fate, Mr. and Mrs. Campbell but recently re- ceived a glowing tribute to him in a letter written by Dumaresq Spencer, young Highland Park aviator who was killed last week, also as a fighter the Lafayette Escadrille. In the ourse of his letter Spencer wrote: low that it is very difficult to el the great sorrow that has come to you in the loss of your son 'Coty,' but I trust that it will be some solace to hear from one who, though not an intimate friend, has greatly admired your son and his splendid work for France. "When 1 arrived in France I felt that I had a special interest in 'Coty' and followed his career very closely. For I had said to myself that if I A. C. Campbell, Jr. can only do as well as 'Coty' Campbell I will be content .and will be ready for any sacrifice that I might be called upon for. "Since that time this hope and pur- pose has been growing stronger, and stronger with me. It was strength- ened by traces of his good records in the French schools, and then by his achievements at the front. First came the news of his first boche, then of his landing with one wing gone. Many of 'my monitors have spoken- of this and pointed it out as an ex- ample of the action of a man that would never give up. The next we heard was that Coty Campbell had knocked down two more boches. This was even more wonderful, but it seemed that his call had come, for the next report was that Coty was missing. "The date of his disappearance re- minded me of a conversation that I had had in Paris a month before with Paul Rokwell, the brother of Kiffen Rockwell, who had been a member of the escadrille. I asked Paul how Coty was getting along. "Too Much Guts." "He replied: 'Coty is a wonderful man, but I will give him only about one more month to live" I was nat- urally surprised at this, and asked why; to which Paul said, 'Because he has got too much guts. "After reviewing his whole career and then the manner of his death, shot down fighting against great odds, over the German lines, this expres- sion of his courage seems to me to be the keynote of his life. "Coty himself has gone, but this influence of his life will live on, for I know that there are many others who like myself, hold up as their ideal the record which he has made here in France. If, before they get me, I can boast of six months at the front during which time I have never shirked a duty or missed a fight and have three dead Germans to my credit, I will cohsider my life a glo- rious success, providing they accuse me of no greater fault than 'too much ' guts'. Andrew Courtney Campbell, Jr, was born Nov. 19, 1891, in Chicago. He attended the Mosley school at Twen- ty-fourth street and Michigan avenue and the New Trier high school. Then he entered the University of Virginia. He went to France in June, 1916, and passed through the flying schools at Buc, Juvisy, Averd, Cazauz and Pau. At Juvisy he was the first American to graduate and stood highest in scholastic ability. His service at the front won him the Croix de Guerre with the gold star. To this two palms were afterward added#or special eita- tions for gallantry.

PERSHING'S DRAFT BILL FOR WORKERS FAVORED President Wilson is empowered, in a bill reported favorably last week by the Senate military affairs committee, to reach into any class of drafted men to get skilled workers needed for military labor. The fact that a man has been placed, by reason of mar- riage, dependents, physical condition or other cause in a so-called deferred class, will not-save him. General Pershing demanded the measure to supply quickly the necessary army of accompanying mechanics. The meas- ure will be brought before the Senate for speedy action. PRESIDENT HOLDEN QUITS RAILWAY ADVISORY BOARD President Hale Holden of the Burlington railroad, formerly of Win- netka, has resigned from the advisory committee of railroad men assisting Director General McAdoo to devote his whole time to the Burlington.
