LIEUT.. TOWSEN
WOUNDED FIVE
TIMES in ACTION
Jaw Broken in Battle Near
Verdun; Captain Rupp
Wounded

Convalescing in base hospital in
France, after having been wounded
in five different places in one en-
gagement, Lieutenant J. Wilbur
Towsen, writes an interesting. IL
somewhat gruesome letter to his par
ents, Mr.. and Mrs. 4. f. Towsen.
GIG North Second street.
Lieutenant Towsen was engaged in
the vicinity of Verdun in the opera
tions which took place SepteIn ber
25-27. Although he was wounded in
an engagement on the latter date In
the jaw, hip, foot, arm and wrist, he
was able to walk from the lines, and
did not seem TO feel the effects of his
wounds until after he had left the
zone Of excitement. His most serious
wound is in the Jaw. which was
broken.
His left hand, it is claimed By
Lieutenant Towsen, was saved by
ms wristwatch. dying missile hav-
ing struck him in the wrist of that
hand and lodged against the watch
case, with such force as to have
otherwise severed his hand or made
amputation necessary. Lieutenant
Towsen reports that when leaving
the battle lines, he saw Captain
Rupp lying on the ground wounded
! and, as he thought, dead.
1t was thought that the Captain
Rupp referred TO was a Shiremans-
town man, however such report
could not be confirmed to-day. Some
say that the Captain Rupp referred
to may be a York man, formerly
connected with the Governors
Troop.
Lieutenant Towsen is member
of Company ID, Three Hundred and
Thirteenth Infantry. He received his
training and commission at Fort
Niagara, N. Y, and later was sent TO
Camp Meade before sailing overseas
in June.

sity of combat relaxed, it is the usual
disposition of all armies to fall into
excuses of various kinds.
DR.. Motor will visit all the centers
where numbers of supply troops,
stevedore regiments, depot brigades,
labor battalions and combat troops are
located, speaking to them and urging
in every way that they observe the
good name they have won on the bat
tlefields and in the service in France,
that they may not furnish the slight
est cause for ~unfavorable comment or
adverse criticism before they return
to America.
DR.. Motor carried with him letters
of introduction to the highest officers
of the American Expeditionary Forces
and to the American Ambassador at
Paris. He was accompanied by Mr..
Nathan Hunt, travelling secretary, and
Mr.. Lester A. Walton, managing edi-
