Doy lest owns Boys Faced Machine Guns in Wood; Held Gains Doylestown, Sept. 10.—In a charge across an open field, Doylestown boys in Company G, 111 th Infantry, faced German machine gun batteries hidden in a wood, and drove the enemy back with rifle and bayonet and held their gains against a determined counter artillery barrage by the Huns. For four days these boys were under con tinuous fire from German snipers, ma chine gunners and artillery. They suffered heaivily in casualties, but they held their ground against a reg iment of Huns until relief came. Details of the fighting, with men tion of several wounded heroes whose names have not appeared in the offi cial lists, are reaching here in let ters from the soldiers who went through the hail of shell and shrap nel. • From letters to relatives of the sol diers here, it is known one member of the company from this town was killed in action and seventeen wound ed or gassed. The battalion to which Company G belongs went into line in a wood, facing the Germans, who were in the same wood. Only an old railroad line separated them. For one night there was a heavy •duel of snipers and machine gunners. In the morning the Doylestown boys advanced to clear the wood. They crossed the old railroad line in the face of spitting machine guns. For two hours the Germans struggled to hold their line. Then they broke and fled from the wood. Immediately the Germans dropped a heavy barrage over the advancing battalion, causing an order to the Pennsylvanians to retire. "One shell lit beside me," writes Corporal Frank McNealy, "killing three and wounding several others; I was knocked down, but only got a small piece of shrapnel in the leg. I must have been sort of stunned, because I didn't h,ear the order to retire and found myself and Paul Helsel alone in the open field. "We were about 100 yards front the woods and had to run back through the barrage to get there, and we had no sooner started than a German sniper opened on us and the bullets kicked dust all around us. The fast er he fired the faster we ran. We got to the woods in safety and then took care of our wounded. "There was not much doing that night, except some sniping. The next morning we went forward again over the 4 same ground And pushed the enemy back for nearly two miles. "The climax of the whole thing came when we came to the edge of the wood, we being in the wood. A whole nest of enemy machine guns was in another wood about 300 yards away, across an open field. "We were ordered to charge across the field into the wood. We couldn't see the enemy at all. They were so well hidden, It looked impossible to chase them out. An Inspiring Sight 'Well, we started, and it sure was an Inspiring sight to see us going across the field, just like they do in the movies. We were in skirmish line and putting up our own barrage to try and keep the enemy fire down until we reached the woOds. "We went across in a perfect line, bayonets fixed and firing, not rapid fire, but double-rapid fire, all from the hip. We never put our rifles to our shoulders. Our automatic rifles were pouring out bullets, and our pistols barking—everything at once. "A little second lieutenant was leading us, and he surely did fine. Right in the middle of the field was a mesh-wire fence higher than our heads, which we had to stop and cut with our bayonets and rifle butts. "Well, we plunged into the woods, but it was useless. The hidden ma chine guns could just mow down our men. 1 found myself beside Sergeant Raymond Long. Slightly behind us was an Italian fellow shooting close to our heads. "I turned around and told him to get up on the line. He came up and just as he was about to fire his first shot, after getting up on the line, a bullet came and drilled him between the eyes. "At the same time two men on the other side of me went down wound ed. The bullets sang all around me. One went through my shirtsleeve. Buc I was not hit." "Again we had to retire, but in good order, to the flank and hastily dug trenches and established out de fense. But they did not attack us. Only sniped us when we would stick our heads up. "All that night we exchanged shots and all next day and the next night We thought .sure they were coming over. Our aerial observers reported them being reinforced by a regiment of infantry and they opened up a ter rible fire on us—rifles, machine guns and everything else they had. "Our relief had came up, but couldn't get in the lines on account of the heavy firing, I spent a horrible night, being sick from gas and pow der. . Got Through Hun Barrage "The last day was rather quiet un til dark. When we were finally re lieved and started out, they opened up on us with everything from pistols to air bombs. They put a powerful searchlight on us, so they could see us after we got a mile or so away from them, and then threw a shrap nel barrage on us. "We fooled them by a flank move ment, yet they kept right on our tails until broad daylight. It certainly was a trying night and a hard session for the nerves. We caught up to our cooks shortly after daylight, but they had doctors' oraers not to feed us very heavy at first. So all we got for breakfast was a little rice and coffee, but we got a big dinner and supper last night." Corporal McNealy closes his letter; "Tell Pa that McNealy advanced with the rest of them. If every out fit chased the Germans back two miles in four days, as Company G did, it, won't be long before we get to Berlin and victory." Sergeant Walter Trainer, of Doyles town, who led a platoon in the charge, was wounded in the shoulder and is in Base Hospital No. 38, made up of Jefferson Hospital physicians and nurses, of this city. John Atkinson and George Atkin son, brothers, were wounded. John writes to his home: "I helped to carry the mess to-day, and, of course, Fritz had to leave a few fly near us, and we spilled a little of the coffee, for we drop to the ground when a shell comes." Lancaster county machine gunners with the Rainbow division captured guns of the retreating Germans, turn ed them around and mowed down the enemy with his own weapons, accord ing to Sergeant H. E. Troop. "We have been fighting like old veterans." writes Troop, "defeating the Germans and driving them back. We kept it up through mud and rain and with very little rest and just enough food to keep u going. But now we are in a forest, what is left of us. resting up for anothen crack at the dirty Dutch. "We h st some of our good pals, but they died behi.ij their guns and not with their hands up crying 'Kam erad.' We found many terrible tricks of the Huns. In one instance we found a boy of 16 chained to a ma chine gun. When captured he told us he did not want to fight, but they used this method of making him fight and told him if 1 e did not kill every American he would be taken and tor tured to death. "In another instance we found a woman strapped to" a tree with an automat'e rifle, as a snipci. She was killed before they knew she was a womrtt. "Leon one of our boys, was severely wounded find Corporal Luther Moore w killed In action. Our company captured a lot of ma chine guns ant turned them around and mowed down the Lutch with their own weapons " Additional casualties among ma chine gunners in the Iror. division have been t eporte.i. Piivate Frank Ruth, of the !P9th machine gun bat talion, of Lsnct'ftcr. was killed in action. Private Charles Reber, of Shilling*on. with Company B, 108 th machine gun battalion, has been killed.

On August 14 there was but one commissioned officer, Lieut. Zach arias and he was so fighting the Germans he had not had time to take a bath for three weeks and was a mighty busy man at the time of writing his father. First Lieutenant Roy R. Kreichbaum> senior officer of Company C, is in the hospital with a machine gun bullet through his right leg above the knee. He will not be able to return to service for two months. Lieutenant Noble Is another officer who evidently was gassed. It is learned here that Captain Schdonmaker, who had been assigned to command the company, had been detailed tp other duties be fore crossing the Atlantic, Lieuten ant Zacharias writes. With becom ing modesty, he writes also that often he had been in a shower of bullets and shells, but thus far had escaped injury of any character. Dur ing one of the engagements he car ried a wounded German beck to head quarters. He writes of this experi ence: "It is all a part of the game." The boys of Company C were in the thick cf the fight at Fismes (Feems) and fought their way foot by foot through that French town, driving the enemy ahead of them. Company C was recruited In Har rlsburg and Chambersburg by Cap tain H. M. Stlne.

You may be thirty in years, but if you are bald-headed, gray, or your hair is dry, brittle, scraggly and ugly-looking, people will surely take you to be many years older. When your hair becomes faded, dry, streaked and scraggly, when It falls out badly and new hair cannot grow, the roots should be immedi ately vitalized and properly nour ished. To do this quickly, safely and at little expense, there is noth ing so effective as Parisian sage (liquid form) which you can get at Kennedy's Drug Store and all good drug and toilet counters. It's guaranteed to abolish dan druff—stop scalp itch and falling hair and promote a new growth or money refunded. It's in great de rtiand by discriminating women be cause it makes the hair so soft, lus trous, easy to arrange attractively and appear heavier than it really is. A massage with Parisian sage is a real delight—'easy to use, not sticky or greasy, and delicately per fumed —an antiseptic liquid free from dangerous ingredients and guaranteed not to color the hair or scalp. If you want good looking hair and plenty of it, by all means use Parisian sage—a little attention now insures beautiful hair for years to cqme.—adv.
