You should have seen that bullet
ridden mule. He was sure dead"
This was the statement Herbert
Giles. Fargo marine, son Of Mr.. and
Mrs. ]. A. GILES OF 513 Tenth street
south, used in concluding an inter
esting story told to a number of
friends wednesday night, about work
in the marine branch Of the govern

Bart GILES is home on q furlough.
He viii return to his station near
Alexandria, Virginia. this evening.
He enlisted in the marines last spring
and expects TO be on his way to
France about the middle of Janu-
airy.
Giles was telling OF the action of
the famous Lewis firing guns which
fire 81 shots in about six seconds,
when he related a little incident con-
corning the mule.
"a novice was at the gun and had
just placed the magazine" said
Giles. Something went wrong and
he sought to find the seat OF trouble,
but did not think to lift the magazine
chamber. A short distance ahead
was a mule. The recruit placed his
finger on the trigger and in a second
the gun was barking. Thirty-six
shots perforated that mule. There
was no chance of it getting out Of
the way Of that rapid firing gun after
the first few shots hit It."
Mr.. GILES stated that during heavy
practice in firing into the woods
the marines afterwards made
observations to see how accurate
their aims were. In several instances
a negro was found perforated with
five or six shells from the Lewis gun.
! They, too, like the mule, were dead.
The barracks in which the marines
sleep near Alexandria, Virginia, are
one hundred feet long and will ac-
commodate So men. Mr.. Giles in
relating the training the men receive
for trench feet" stated that the gov
eminent has a special preparation to
treat this war demon and that a
company OF marines in active service

a member of the marines be careless
and not use the treatment. The
disease is contracted from standing
in cold water for period of time.

Just Too Late To

lBy Associated Press.N


= Geneva, Dec. %. - The German
emperor returning with his stan from
the Verdun front, had a narrow es-
cape during the reprisal raid OF a
British air squadron on Mannheim
Christmas eve, according TO a dis
patch from Basel. Only about an
hour earlier the emperor's special
train left the station which was
partly destroyed by several bombs.
A section of the tracks was torn up,
cutting communication north.
In fact, the emperor's train was
the last to leave Mannheim, and no
trains arrived at Basel yesterday
from that city. Two bombs fell on
the palace and one on the suspension
bridge across the Neckar river, both
structures being badly damaged. An
ammunition factory in a northern
suburb was blown up. A consider
able number Of persons We're killed
