REJOICING IN BATTLE,
AMERICAN IS KILLED
Young Legionaire Dies Just as
He Announces Satisfaction at
Getting His Chance
By CHARLES F. BERTELLI
PARIS, May 20 (By mail to New York
June 8).
"I'm suro going to give tho Germans hell
when we get Into action" wero tho last
words , of twenty-two-year-old George
Meyer, of Brooklyn, a member of tho
famous French Foreign Legion. Meyer was
a young recruit, but a demon for fighting
His closest chums wero James Paul, of St.
Louis, who was killed In tho sanio action,
and David 'Vt'ooster, of New Yolk.
The leglonalres were doing first-line duty
and the big German guns wero raining
shells upon tho trenches. This wns in ono
of tho battles that havo marked tho pres
ent French oftenslvo In Champagne. Meyer
had Just expressed his satisfaction at get
ting Into action and had nnnounced his In
tention of showing tho Germans a hot time
when n shell burst within a few feet of his
head. His body was blown to pieces nnd
tho fragments were burled on tho spot.
Wooster had been studying nt Harvard
when ho left to begin a turbulent career In
tho legion Ho soon acquired tho reputation
his two friends had of "thriving on tho
hard and dangerous llfo In tho first-line
trenches " . ,
Paul in particular seemed to thrive on
danger. "Ho was happiest where the
bullets were thickest," the boys all said

wipe out Taul's smile We havo seen him
come out of a three-day spell In the first
line trenches just as fresh as when he went
in. Some of tho others were so fagged they
could hardly walk.
In the same battle In which Paul nnd
Meyer lost their lives two other Americans
were wounded. They were Ivan Nock, a
civil engineer, of Baltimore, who, gave up
an excellent position In Peru to join tho
legion and Frank Whltmore, of Richmond,
Va Nock waB struck In the head and was
granted forty-five days' leave to go to
America to recuperate.

to tho front The first day In the first line,
trenches Pavelka and his comrades, all of
whom were in the same company wero
