Mrs. Davis became of age last month. The principal of Mrs. Davis’ fund, which has been estimated at from $1,- 000,000 to $1,500,000, is in reality not more than $700,000. The fund is in- vested wholly in securities of the nature permitted for trust funds under the laws of the State. It is under- stood that under an agreement be- tween Mrs. Davis and the trustee an accounting of the fund will not be re- quired. Mr. and Mrs. Davis, who have been living at the Al Davis home at Hicks- ville, L. I., have gone to Saratoga for the month with their infant daughter, Eugenia Kelly Davis, born on April 2, Until she reached her majority Mrs. Davis had an income of $10,000 a year from the trust fund. She received only $6,000 a year until 1912, when her mother, Mrs. Helen M. Kelly, who was her guardian, got permission in the supreme court to increase her al- lowance to $10,000 because she needed $4,000 for entertainment and $2,000 each for wearing apparel, education, and an annual trip to Europe. Mrs. Davis is theggranddaughter of Eugene Kelly, fiscal® agent for the United States during the civil war, who left a large fortune. She married Al Davis on November 17 last at Elkton, Md., after a divorce decree obtained by former Mrs. Davis had been made final. It is understood that the securities comprising the principal of Mrs. Davig’ trust fund will not be dis- tributed, and that she has placed her financial affairs entirely in the hands of her attorney, Frank L. Crocker of 5 Nassau street. No effort was made by her mother to prevent her from taking possession of her fortune, al- though at the time of her differences with her mother prior to her marriage it was stated that some steps would be taken to that end. COURIER OF VERDON NEW SOLDIER TYPE Despatch Bearers Crawl Through Zone o Terrific Fire {Correspondence of the Asso. Press.) F'g July 31.—The unexampled conditions of fighting before Verdun have developed a new type of soldier called “the couriers of Verdun.” They are the men who maintain commun- ication between the troops in the midst of the melee and officers com- manding from the rear. The battle- field into which they dart with or- ders or after information is a deso- lated zone where nothing but thick smolke, sometimes black, sometimes white, gives appearance of life; excepting during the brief time of an infantry attack, it is to all appear- ances deserted; the sharpest eye dis- covers no movement of humanity. The earth is everywhere furrowed by freshly stirred earth, but no one sees the hand that stirred it. Occasionally a form is seen going over this desert land something after the manner of a rabbit, bounding into sight out of the herbs and above uneven ground to disappear again; Jeaping from obstacle to obstacle, from ditch to ditch, from shell hole to shell hole it approaches the front line, at times vaulting, at oth- | ers crawling, and sometimes kept mo- | tionless for considerable periods by showers of projectiles sent over from the other side of the line for his per- | sonal benefit. This is the messenger | of modern battle; he was never wiore | needed nor more useful than at Ver- and the type will probably bear name for years to come of ‘“the of Verdun.” Not a telephone line can resist the | incessant hombardment that digs up | the soil and levels all field work | along the whole line in front of this fortress; consequently to assure cc®n- | munications between the front and rear is a difficult problem. Commun- ications by carrier pigeons are very uncertain and optical signals are in- sufficient for varfous reasons. Noth- ing is certain excepting the man him- | self and to transmit information and orders across that beaten field re- quires something extraordinary in the way of man. He must be an athlete with good lungs and, above all, he must have a stout heart. The courier of Verdun is unable to use the communicating trenches where he would be out of sight of the enemy because that line is crowd- ed always with soldiers zoing to or from the front line, with wounded ried back, with men of the ry department carrying provisions to the men on guard. That | i too slow a route for the courier of Verdun; he must take his chances of being sighted—and hit—above ground. Passing dun the courier “Drum Fire” Zone. The first formidable obstacle to pass is the zone that is beaten by “drum fire,” where 8-inch, 6-inch and 4-inch shells are bursting with for- midable explosions, sending showers of shrapnel over the whole zone. In going through this ordeal, the courier sees everywhere the spectacle of death, stumbles over corpses, some- times runs into a cloud of poison va- :por before he has crossed it; once Listen to the strange, sobbing :A1516 | ALOHA OE.
