CRUCIFIED A YANK
Salvation Army Worker Tells
of What He Saw.
One Wounded Man Shot Be-
cause He Couldn't Talk. i

New York. Aug. 26-Dr. P. H.
Howard, of st. Louis, member of the
chamber of commerce of that city, is
convinced of the bestiality and brutal
ity of the German solder.
Doctor Howard is back in this coun-
try after serving in France with the
Salvation Army. He made the trip to
tell the American people just what
he had seen happen to some of the
boys who have gone across seas to
fight the Hun, but will not return to
tell about it.
Doctor Howard says he is going TO
do the telling for them. There is the
story of A. B. Cole, East Liverpool, o.,
sergeant. who was nailed to barn
door with bayonets thru his hands
and feet, and the additional story of
how his brother, A. C. Cole, found the
pitifuI, lifeless figure and then ex-
acted vengeance from the fleeing
Germans There also is the CHASTITY
tale of Joseph Chicano, who was
wounded, captured and shot because
he couldn't reply t. a German cap
tain's huskiness. Also there is the
story of how Chicano was left on the
battlefield four days, pleading inef-
fectually for aid from the retreatfnS
Germans, and the details of how a
German officer took another shot at
him.
Took Vengeance on Fritz.
"I cannot give the details of the
vengeance" said DR.. Howard, referr-
ing to the revenge of Sergeant Coles
brother, "but the American boys are
satisfied with what happened to
Fritz
DR.. Howard said he stood within a
city block of certain point when
the Prussian guard attacked the
Americans.
IT don't believe it is profane to say
that the Americans simply knocked
hell out of that crack Prussian unit,
he declared.
There isn't enough left of them to
make a respectable link sausage for
a cannibai"
He related the story of how a
French artillery officer turned bat
terry on a spot where he thought there
was a German ammunition dump, and
touched off the greatest fireworks dis
play DR.. Howard had ever seen, then
executed a two-step.

Washington, Aug. 26.-President
Wilson, senate prohibition leaders de-

The prohibition bill was temporarily
sidetracked today in the senate in
favor of the manpower legislation and
also to give time for negotiations be-

Senator Sheppard. of Texas. mana

Confidence that an agreement be-

Paris, Aug. 26, q p. m.)-The Ger
mans today attempted a counter Of
fensive on a large scale against the
right wing of General Mangin's army
in the region between Vai1ly and
scissors. The attack utterly failed.
General Mangin's- army repulsed the
German onslaught everywhere and in
some instances gained ground. The
French flung back the attacking
troops even beyond their starting
points.
London, Aug. 26 q p. m.).-This
mornings attack was launched be-
tween the Scarpe river at Fampoux
and the heights northeast of Neuville-

British have taken more and made
progress to the southeast of the viii
lage.
Wancourt is on the old Hindenburg
line southeast of Arras. and Monchy
and Guemappe are within less than a
mile of it. All three villages are ap-
proximately three miles inside of the
German line of yesterday.
French Make Gain.
In the battle area south of the
Somme, General Debeney's French
army has captured -Roye,
about three miles north Of Roye, ac-

Clean Up Hun Positions.
The Americans in the last few days.
have begun systematic cleanup of OBJ
jectionable positions. The tannery
was first taken. Then an attack on a
more pretentious scale was launched
this morning.
The boche had dug An along the
railroad skirting the south bank of
the Vesle, and had established numer-
Que machine gun nests. The Ameri-
cans were in a dip south of the main
Soissons-Rheims highway. They had
to advance across open country toward
the railway.
A stiff barrage was put down on the
railway at a. m, the infantry start
ing their advance simultaneously.
Quickly they topped the highway
and charged across the open space in
the face of terrific machine gun fire
the boche a running. A heavy enemy
barrage was put down on the railway
but the Americans held on.
Have to Work or Fight in Germany.
Only seven prisoners were taken.
One of them, a banker and restaurant
keeper of the higher class, was forced
to serve. He had been in the army a
year. He said that all able bodied men
are now compelled to work in war
factories or go to the front. He said
that soldiers everywhere now realize
their efforts are merely a sacrifice.
One deserter who entered the Ameri-
can line revealed the straits to
which the German high command had
been reduced regarding manpower.
The deserter had been previously
wounded but was taken from the hos
pital and returned to the front before
he was fully recovered.
The Americans now hold the rail-
way on both sides of Fismes. The
boches are extremely nervous and are
constantly sending up rockets at night
American patrols are maintaining con-
slant contact with the German lines,
harassing the enemy positions day and
night.
