Doo-| little of New York, formerly of Chi- cago, and father of James Ralph Doo- little IV, an American aviator of the famous LaFayette esquadrille, that Sergt. Andrew Courtney Campbell, son of Mr. and Mrs. A. C. Campbell of Kenilworth, deliberately sacrificed his life to kill a German aviator and save a French flyer in a battle Oc- tober 1. "Campbell wgs courageous to a fault, my son tells me," said Mr. Doo- little, "and was greatly admired by the other men in the esquadrille. He was known as a flyer who would go through hell itself to win. He had been decorated with the Croix de Guerre for bravery in action. "His last flight was to rescue a French aviator attacked by German flyers. There was only one chance to save the Frenchman. Campbell took it. He drove his machine straight into a German plane. Ile and his ad- versary both fell from a great height and amid the wreckage of the two machines back of the German lines." No official dispatches have been re- ceived by the war department in Washington concerning the fate of the daring and skillful Kenilworth aviator. Press dispatches from Swit- zerland state that an American avi- ator is being held prisoner by the Germans. Officials believe that Sergt. Campbell may be held by the Ger- mans.

S. Enemies Special Attorney Appointed to Trace Source of Accusations Con- cerning Society. | By Marquis Eaton. A concerted effort is being njade by a Gi anti-patriotic propagandists to credit the work of the American Red Cross. Stories as malicious as they are absurd are being industriously circulated in Chicago, and ge Aerally throughout the country. These storics, while presenting a multitude of variations, follow certain well de- fined lines. One relates that a sweater sent to a soldier through the Red Cross was later seen being worn by a nurse, a Red Cross employe, or some civilian who claimed to have bought the garment from the society. Another is to the effect that a wo- man who knitted a sweater for her son at Camp Grant, finding no other of sending the garment, en- trusted it to the Red Cross to be sent for her, and a short time afterward received a letter from the son that he was obliged to pay the Red Cross for the sweater. Very often a tale is adorned by a five dollar bill or a ten dollar bill sewn into the sweater. Most of the stories carry on their face their own refutation, but some are so cunningly embellished with de- tail as to trap the unwary into a be- lief in their truth. It must, there- fore, be stated and reiterated that the Red Cross sells nothing, gives everything. to their fighting men. The stories that sweaters, socks and other ~zrments have been sold either here false. or abroad are unqualifiedly Those who initiate them are liars ind traitors.

Evi- dence should be submitted to the 'Chicago chapter office, and the co- operation of all patriotic citizens is earnestly invited. *ENILWORTH DOCTOR IS HONORED BY CONGRESS The American clinical congress paid a special tribute yesterday to Dr. T'ranklin H.
