W. |. BRAY, WHO ALSO FOUGHT
Kenosha Boys Tell Stories of the WarEin
the Far OF Possessions WoundedfN
in Engagements and Out of Service. Hre

Joe Macowsfky, commonly known
about Kenosha as Joe Berliner, re-
turned to Kenosha Saturday evening
after two years of service with the
United States volunteer army 1u-tfIc
Philippine Islands. The Kenosha boy
has seen much of the world since he
left here two years ago as a member OF
Company F, of the 47th Regiment,
u. S. V. The regiment went to the
Philippines by the long route sailing
from New York. They returned by
way of Honolulu and San Francisco,
thus making a circuit of the globe.
During his travels Macowsfky visited
Japan and China and all the oriental
countries. The Kenosha man evil
IDENTIFY made a good soldier, as his dis
charge papers show that he was a
brave and competent man in the esti-
nation of his superior officers. Ber-
liner took part In eighteen engage
ments against the natives and IN one
engagement he was wounded by being
struck with a bo1o behind the left ear.
For his bravery on the field the Keno
sha boy was advanced to the rank of a
Sergeant, but ere he left the island
Joe's desire for fun was too much for
his office and on one evening he
marched six of his men to Philippine
wedding and in the morning he was
reduced to the former rank of Cor
pora1. Macowsfky was mustered out
several days ago and he has been Wis
-. al.
W. L. Bray Returns.
Another Philippine soldier who has
caused considerable comment in town
! is w. L. Bray, former kenosha boy
who is spending few days with
friends in Kenosha. Sergeant Bray
saw three full years of service with
the army under Generals Wheeler and
Macarthur,
Sergeant Bray was one of the first
of the American soldiers to enter the
islands and one Of the last to be mus
tered out. He took part in many en-
gagements and was promoted twice for
bravery ora the field of battle. Seeing
his share of the service he was in many
| battles with the insurgents and at San
Fernando the former Kenosha boy was
shot through the thigh by PHILIPPINE
The wound was not serious one and
proved of little trouble.
During his service in the islands Mr.
BRAY was often within stones throw
of other Kenosha boys who were en-
listed for the war but he never met
any of the boys personally until this
morning when they met on the streets
of the city.
Mr.. Bray is now living with his par
ents at Sheldon, Iowa.
