Well, they evi dently anticipated our coming, for when we broke through, a crowd of other 69th men and myself, there were only a few Germans left. They were sitting on the steps of the storehouse and promptly surrender ed. Everything was packed and ready for removal? but I guess we got there too quickly for them. "Anyway, we had plenty of good beer to drink and you can bet we drank it and twenty German soldiers and two officers we captured stood by and watched us drink. No. we didn't give them any." An idea of the fighting qualities of | the Prussian Guard was contributed by John Webb, of 615 Hamilton I avenue, North Bergen, N. J„ whb I fought against them at St. Mihiel with a machine gun company of the eld 69th. "It seemed that every time we ran into them they'd come running up to us yelling 'Don't kill me, I've got a mother, father, wife and three chil dren.' but our commanding officer would always say, 'Give 'em hell,' and wc always did." Webb who is better known as "Lefty" Webb, was maimed by ma chine-gun bullets and \t~as gassed. Surprised at Decoration Lieutenant William J. Moore, of 397 First avenue, who failed in an at tempt to evade reporters who wanted to know how he won the Croix de Guerre, was finally corralled in the officers' cabin. He was with the old 69th down on the MexicsA border. When he saw his first action he wore the chevrons of a sergeant. He ltceived his commission and the crosj at the same time for valorous work in the Luneville sector. • Moore late in March took command of a sector during a heavy bombard ment after his immediate superior, l-ieutenant Normand, was killed. He organized rescue parties to excavate men caught in eaved-in dugouts. A heavy shelling continued for twenty four hours, and during the fusillade Captain George McAdle, of his com pany, was wounded. "After we had been at it for twen ty-four hours," said the New York man, 'we were relieved by Company E and ordered to the rear to rest up. We lost forty-two of our men. A wejk later I received a letter from the commanding general of the French army, with the surprising in formation that I had been designated to receive the Croix de Guerre." Private Charles Burke, of 105 Con gress avenue. Flushing, L. I„ Com pany D, 165 th Infantry also wore the French war medal. He Aras shot through both legs in the fighting in the Argonne Forest. He went out with a handful of other Americans and effected an impromptu raid, cap turing twenty-two Germans and the colonel in charge of a listening post. Joseph O'Neill, Company F,. same regiment, went over the top at Cha teau Thierry with two mules draw ing a field kichen. On his way back a shell burst and took off the hind legs of the mules. They crawled along on the stumps until they were safely within the American lines, then fell, he said. American machine gun ners ended their misery. Peter Murray and a number of other old 69th men, were in a shell hole without food or water for four teen hours at St. Mihiel. Praise for His Officers Sergeant Victor J. Herold. Com pany C, old Sixty-ninth, told of his experiences. It was following a heavy barrage, laid down by the Ger mans that he and three others, one his brother. Ernest, were sent out to bring •?. wounded man back to the lines. "As we were carrying our com rade back." he said, "1 was hit. I told the others to take care of the other man first. Later my brother returned and wanted to help me but I told him I could get back all right. I ran a"quarter of a mile and then I fell down In a heap from the loss of blood. Later I was taken safely to a dressing station, but I never saw my brother again, nor any word of him." Sergeant Herold spoke highly of his commanding officer. Captain Henry Botz, who. It is said, was of Ger man birth and shouted all his or ders In broken English. "Of all our fighters, I don't believe one of them fought with more xeal than our leader," he .said. "One of his lungs was pierced by a machine gun bullet in a raid. He carried no weapon, and led all attacks with a simple looking walking stick." Among the officers aboard the Mafil waa Lieutenant Royal C. Johnson, of Aberdeen. S. D., who resigned his seat in the House of Representatives to enlist as a private in January. By sheer pluck, his friends said, he rose to & second lieutenancy <4Vid was at tached to Company D, 3Hth Infantry. Weald Talk of Others "I won't have anything to say about myaelf." Lieutenant Johnson told newspapermen, "but I will say that you can't say too much about 'our doughboys. They are trumps; the best In the world, and to them should go the.laurell." Myles McDermott. of Yorkville, who waa attached to Company A. 308 th Battalion—Colonel Whittlesley's "Lost Battalion" —was another of the returning men. He was shot through the left hip in the Argonne. Dr. Alfred M. Bergstein, a lieuten ant in the Medical Corps, 18th Regu lars. of Pottsvllle, Pa., a passenger on the Maui was decorated for brav ery. He fought in the Chateau Thierry and St. Mihiel sectors and was wounded seventeen times by shrapnel. -Major Oliver L. White, of ! the 319 th Infantry, who was wound ed at Verdun, returned, declaring the Germans were beatep from the be ginning of the battle of Chateau Thierry. Lieutenant J. R. Harden, of the Ith Marines, whose home is at 40 Mount Prospect avenue. Newark, N. J., was In every battle from the Marne to Verdun with the exception of Solssons. He was nine times over the top and twice wounded. Corporal E. E. Brook, of Trevent, Tenn., of the 6th Marines, came back wounded, but wore the Distinguished Service cross. He fought his way through the fall ing shells to rescue a fellow officer and was maimed in the task. Peace Depends Upon a League, Wilson Avers PariM, Dec. 19.—President Wilson yesterday afternoon gave out the fol lowing statement: "The Paris edition of the Chicago Tribune this morning, in a dispatch accredited to its correspondent at Washington, declared that before! leaving for France I gave assurance] that I approved of a plan formulated by the League to Enforce Peace. This statement is entirely false. "I am. as every one knows, not only in favor of a league of nations, but believe the formation of such a league absolutely indispensable to the main tenance-of peace. But the particular j plan of the League to Enforce Peace j 1 have never directly nor indirectly j endorsed." RED FLAG RACRILEGOUS ' Washington, Dec. 19. —In intro- j ducing yesterday "a bill to make it unlawful to display the red flag in the United States, Senator New, of Indiana, Republican, said: "The red flag movement In this country is! nothing less than sacrilege upon the j sacred memory o( our boys who have given their all on the battle- ( fields of.

Fuller, M. C. N. 8. ,R„ Base Hospital 53, A. E. F., "Somewhere in France:" "To-day almost all my boys were out of tobacco and out of money. I sent a note over to the American Rod Cross and In a shor| time a package of. smoking tobacco and a package of cigarets for every man in the hospital arrived. You never saw a more pleased or surprised or happier bunch, and that the Red Cross can get from somewhere almost everything. When you people get a chance to give to the Red Croes, you can know that the money goes farther, is handled to bet ter advantage and does more real good than any money spent. We see big manufacturers, nationally-known bankers and men of enormous energy about here all the time as directors of Red Cross work. They are here working hard, and hard is right, all day and any time of night, without a cent of salary and paj/ng every dollar of their own expense. There is no trouble too great if they can have the Red Cross get any thing for a sol dier or a hospital. Back them up ev ery way possible over there. Every mrgi here calls the Red Cross and the Y. M. C. A. blessed. "The great Red Cross is certainly seeing to it that the medical officers here are to be given conditions as fa vorable to health and comfort as can be provided. "Just now a group of mumps cases in one of my wards is singing. "Keep' the Home Fires Burning," and as I write they have changed to the Dox ology—a happy bunch of boys—real boys. They seem very content here and are pleased with their treatment, as we sure want them to be. Whon they go away they all pay for their care in a very spendthrift way. and in a medium of exchange that makes ine feel very rich indeed. I can not make any allotment of this pay to you. but it Is adding to the memories and gain of this work to know that I have done my little bit to keep them very happy and content and well cared for during their stay here. Sometimes I have to censor their letters, and it almost makes me cry to see their ap preciation of what the nurses have done for them. They surely are on-; titled to the best and all they ask is! that we get them well quickly 00 theyl can go back and get in the big scrap.'

She attributes* her good health to the regular use of Bliss Native Herb Tablets, which she recommends to every railroad man who suffers from constipa tion, kidney or liver trouble.

For over thirty years these fine lot of boys, as boys the most of them really are. "It surely does make a fellow feel | good to have these boys say how I much like home this place has been | and how grateful they are for the lit tle we have done for them. I /suppose we will never see them again and they still soon forget us and the hospital, but 1 will never forget having had the privilege of being here to do some thing flrstr lyind for them and for others ns they come. "If you could only see the spirit ff these boys here and how they accept the hard things, you would tell every one there that It takes a good {leal to catch up with them, and if they do and everything asked over tiiere, they are doing the very right thing. I feel that I am not even a beginner in doing my share when I meet young men who have slept in dugouts and trenches, and In dirty French cow sheds, and with no bath and very lit tle comforts or no comforts at all, who have been under shell fire and gas (most terrible of all) and have been out in "No Man's Land'—when I Aee these men, yes mere boys who talk to me and tell me of terrible things, just as though they were tell ing me that they had just driven the cows home, or had a very busy day in the factory, I feel that g-hat we are doing back here in comfort and good surroundings is a small part of the great, terrible tragedy.
