the heroic deeds of Philadelphia sol
diers In the ortot uai
At 3 o'clock on the morning of Au
gust ? W4 men, comprising the rem
nant of C Cbmpan), USth Infantry,
crawled out of dugouts and Improvised
trenches nnd swept through a "term of
boehe shells townrd Flsmette
These gallant inen of Pennsvlvanta a
Iron Dlvlrlon were told to cross the
Veslc Hler that skirts the town nnd
held their position
0er 2000 jards of shell-torn giound
they had to go to reach the objective J
: ..... . .... ,
nnd oer foot of the ground was con
tested by the boehe A half hour after
the band of, Yankee lighters said fare
well to the support troops their captain
fell.
The deadly., machine-gun fire of the
Jboche had downed the compan com
mander, with man In his unit, but a
big six-footer, w taring the chevrons
ot n. sergeant, filled the breach He
was Andfew n Kane, of 2023 North
Twelfth street, Philadelphia
He had the Initiative, courage and
natural qualities of leadership that
make the American soldier the best in
the -world 'Come on, bos'" veiled
the new company commander Through
the Inky dirkness. tint was lightened
only by the bright flares of exploding
,hoche shells. Kane led his men to the
brjdge that spanned the Vtsle
' Across the expnnsc of blood-stained
fleld ha had driven the boehe Another
vlctorj ..had been clucked up to the
credit of the Iron Illvlsion, but to make
It complete the river must be crossed
The Germans had dtstroved the bridge
nnd from the opposite bank were pour
ing a deadl michlne-gun nre Into the
ranks of Kane's men
Net Slopped bj Ilullets
Reorganizing his company Kane made
for the smashed and tottering piling,
and In flve'mlntites hid crawled over
the battered structure to the German
aide Two machine-gun bullets hit him
but not onc-dld he falter Fifty ards
aua) the boehe machine gun -spui
Mat thn tin. tin tnnphine elln -Mlllll-
tered.
An ugly hullet wound In the right
shoulder made It Impossible for Kane to
handle his rifle, but selling a stone In
his left hand he made, for the machine
gun. At twenty arda Jio hurled the
rock. It struck the gunner and In an
Instant tile, fearless commander of C
Company had fastened his powerful left
hand over the throat or tne German
The rules of warfare dictated the
shooting of this soldier, but Kane, look
ing Into the Germans face, discovered
that he was a mere boy. "I'll fight," i-ald
the sergeant, 'but I wont murder"
Then he smashed the German with his
fist, tickled his ribs with a heavy right
loe and announced that ono prisoner had
been captured
As the sUn broke through the clouds
of smoke, Kane prepafed his defense
"Wo have reached our objective and will
hold It." was his order, company C held
if until n, strong support reached them,
but shortly nfter 9 o'clock Sergeant Kane
ustalned a serious shrapnel wound Two i
comrades carried him to the rear ami
twelve hours later the wound was
dressed After months of piin In French
hospitals he haB been brought to America
and Is now the popular idol at the base
hospital In I-akevvood, N J.
For his daring on the Held of battle
this outhful soldier has been decwrated
and made a commissioned officer, but
he "never will lead nnirther company Into
action for his left leg Is so badly shat
tered that only a mjracle will save it
Kane declined to "tell the stoij, for,
like other real heroes of Pennslvanla'H
famous Iron Division, he Is modest
"Ev,ery man did his bit," said the sol
dier. ns he discussed his war experience
today. VTou know the Tweaty-elghth
Division got Into the worst of the ftght-
-Pinsf and Is entitled to that honored so-
-sobriquet, "Iron Dlvlolon'
" "U'TVe went through Chateau-Thierry,
but I pulled out of that fight unhutt
On August 9 I got hit four times, but
the worst wound is on my leg I do
hope they save it, and I am sure ..
that is humanly possible- It will be done
In this hospital TalK about the war?
I don't like to dolt because the story
Is an old one. My last fight was hell.
I can say that and speak honestly, and
IS -thank. Gpd the war la over."
I A sweet-faced woman, accompanied
'7,i by a navy ensign, entered the room.
i fine was the mother of the Philadelphia
''"""hero and the navy oillcer was her Fon
The wounded soldier forgot his pain
and, as a happy smile lighted hlr hand
some face, he turned tqthe i:u nino

A bit later, when he hero had, dozed
Into sleep, Mrs Kane explained why her
