to a brother, Oscar Fey, this city, of his
experiences on the firing line.
Fey la attached to tho Ninth Infantry,
which, as a unit of the Second Division, !k

"my warmest congratulations upon the
splendid spirit shown, especially to those
men who declined to accept their status
as prisoners but turned and destroyed
their captors."
On October 9, during tho Argonne

slightly burned about the body, but
went on with his unit. He had gone
through Chateau-Thierry, fe'olssons, tho
Slants counter-offensive, Verdun, St.
Mlhlel, Mont Blanc, Champagne and the
Argonne without a scratch. Tho pa
thetic letter which told of the soldier"!
unusual experiences follows In part:
"At times before the armistice I only
existed. I was In a dream on the march
and asleep going over tho top. Flopping
In a shell hole to escape a shell was a
casual thing and many times I wel
comed death and that's why I faced
the enemy with the "dry Bmllo that those
of who weren't gun-shy wore. I did
my btst to destroy the bocho, for I
figured I couldn't dodge the bullets much
longer. I have been through some hard
ships, but they amount to little com
pared to seeing a comrade plowed
through to death with enemy lead. But
we got used to It all and t sometimes
now as I lay on my cot and once more
roll a cigarette In peace I can hear
them shout, "Over the tc-p; give 'em
hell, boys!"
Enlisted Soon After War
Sergeant Fey Is twenty-one years old.
He enlisted shortly after the declaration
of war and was nmong tho first to go
overseas. He Is now doing garrison duty
