Pri0ate Gives 81, 500 Car
To Commanding General
Receives Check for $500 While on Drill Field
Yacht to Government

This story, though unusual and perhaps
exaggerated, is told by an army officer,
stationed at Spartanburg, S. c., who de-
clares that it is true 1t relates to rod
est private serving in a New York reg
iment, to which the officer is attached,
who though 81 years of age, enlisted in
the ranks, and who could possibly have
won commission by hard training, but
who like Johnnie Poe, preferred to serve
as private, thus escaping the RESPONSE
bilities Of those in command. His home is
in New York. But let the officer tell the
story:
Shortly after we reached Spartan
burg" said the officer "a drill sergeant
came to my tent with the startling infor-
nation that private in his company was
anxious to present an automobile to the
government, the machine to be for the
exclusive use of the general in command
and the officers.
4 what did you say to him?" 1 asked,
" I told him that he was dreaming
standing up.
g tHe sa1uted and repeated his request.
AS | was coming to headquarters | hui
mored him by telling him that / would
lay his offer before you
81 know there are all kinds of men
in the ranks and as l had nothing to do
/ sent for him. When he approached and
saluted. he was not a prepoSSesSing man.
He had been on drill The day was warm.
He was the last man | would have picked
as possessing anything more than his uni
form. [ was irritated at myself for hav-
ing summoned him.
II understand that you desire to pre-
sent an automobile to the governments"
asked.
Yes sir
where did you steal it?"
viii you not have the kindness to
communicate my wish to the generals?''
II noted that his words were not those
of man of the ranks and his bearing at
once became more dignided and re-
served
where is the automobile?'
1T is in Spartanburg in charge of my
chauffeur, who is at your disposal. He
has brought the machine here from New
York on my order, You will find it at
........,...'s garage.
THE private saluted again, wheeled
around and rejoined his company I
called up general headquarters and told of
the strange offer The comment at head
quarters was not complimentary to the
private | was informed, however. that
two orderlies were going to Spartanburg
during the afternoon and would make in
quiries as directed in regard to the ma

chine. During the afternoon magnifi
cent limousine appeared at my headquaT
ters. The two orderlies and the chauf
feur occupied it. The private was ser
urned the machine over to me to be turn
ed over by me to the commanding officer
who, through Washington, asked that tn
machine be assigned to him. The private
signed the necessary papers which h,
drew UP. | asked him how much the ma
chine, which was new, had cost. At frs
he declined to tell me, but later said rs
had paid $500 for it. At the same time
he told me that he had turned his zach
over to the government before enlisting.
II had a great deal of respect for thi;
private soldier, but of course could shoy
no favoritiSm. He had to toe the mar
with the other privates.
"A few days later as / was informe
next day, he asked a new drill sergean
who did not know him, if he. could speak
TO civilian, who was standing by the
side of the general in command and with
him was watching the marching. The
sergeant gave him peremptory refusal
and reprimanded him for asking to speak
10 the generals guest few minutes
later the civilian recognized the private
and asked the general that he leave' the
ranks for a minute as he wished to speak
u him on business. The general recognize
the private as donor of the automobile
ana ordered the private to step forward
The order was Of course, obeyed. Afte.
Saldfing the general, the man from ii
ranks greeted the civilian.
Why, hello, Judge, he said, glad t.
see you How are all the folks at nome -
after the greetings were over the
judge handed the private a paper which
he hastily read. 1t was a release of
mortgage Accompanying the releass was
a certified check The private signed the
check. ard handed them back to The
judge

bonds and store them away for me =
''The private then returned to the
ranks and took up the drudgery of drill

With your permission / would like to
