London.-If anyone believes tho
fanks are inclined to be lenient to-
ward the Huns he needs only to take
journey among the hospitals and get
the spirit of the boys who have been
through the mill. They tell some pret.
ty characteristic stories in the hos
pitfalls.
One of the officers, when asked
what was the general feeling of the
boys, said:
"All you have to do is to ask one
or two of them to find out"
This story is told by one of the Off

I'VE were going over. The first
blast of the machine guns got us pret-
ty well. Then Jerry started over.
We met. In the move forward one of
our boys was shot by German rifle
man. The boys chum, standing close
to me, saw the German who shot the
first boy. We then rushed. The Ger
mans began dropping to their knees
and calling 'Kamerad.' This boy,
with his chum lying on the ground,
dashed up to the German who had
shot him. The Hun cried for mercy.
He was on his knees.
'Kameradv repeated the Yank.
You get no mercy from me. I'm GO
ing TO run this bayonet through you,
turn you on your back, and then put
your helmet on the gun-stock. That's
the only monument you'll get, you

"The German pleaded for mercy
again, while the boy held the bayonet
against him.
Then there was a seconds suspense
Then came the grunt as the bayonet
went home and the Hun was bowled
over on his back. Then the boy said
to me:
Lieutenant, IL lose this gun will

him.
Then he showed the gun until the
muzzle went through the Germans
chest. the bayonet deep into the
ground. Then he calmly took the

WOUND STRIPE ONLY DESIRE
Only Concern of Man Apparently
Dying as Result Of Being
Gassed.

Somewhere In France.-He was a
marine who had been badly gassed
during the attack on Chateau-Thierry.
He lay In the field hospital. suffering
horribly. yet uttering no sound. But
presently the nurse could see that
something was worrying him.
Finally he became so restless that
she summoned a surgeon.
Better try and find out what he
wants." he directed. Poor devil, he
may want to leave a last message for
his people. There's a good chance
that he won't pull through"
Over him the nurse bent, ears at
tuned for some sob-compelling dying
sentiment.
"Say," the ghostly whisper came
slowly from blistered lips. Say, DO
you get wound stripe just for being
gassedY

FOE CUTS FLYERS
PARACHUTE ROPE
Wounded American Tells of
Cruelty 1000 Feet Above
Battlefield.
HUN Brute GRINS AT HIM
fank Swings Helplessly in Air Watch
ing the Rope the Parting of Which
Would Plunge Him
to Death.

Paris.-Anl act of refined German
cruelty 1000 feet above certain bat
tlefield was related to me at the great
hospital at Neuilly, near Paris, by an
American balloonist. whose name can
not be mentioned because he is not yet
listed as casualty. This American
was descending in parachute when
German aviator deliberately cut the
parachute ropes. Here is his story:
Another lieutenant observer and
myself were up in sausage We
were not worried because the German
aviators had been very quiet lately.
suddenly German pursuit plane
dropped out OF the clouds overhead
in straight nose dive toward our bal
loon, firing explosive bullets. We i'm
mediately took to our parachutes. The
blazing balloon collapsed and plunged
20 feet away from us, the fire scorch-
ing us as 1t fell.
Cuts Parachute Ropes.
" did not see the German aviator
until about a minute after my para
chute had opened. Then he drove
past me, firing not at me but at the
parachute ropes. l saw tracer bullets
overhead had cut two ropes. The
parachute began to wobble and threat
ened to collapse.
1.-THE enemy flyer drew a circle, then
came back, despite the arches (high
angle guns) whose shells were menac-
ing me as well as him.
II tried to use my revolver hoping
| could land one bullet before plung-
ing, but l was hampered by the har-
ness. The coward deliberately grinned
at my first shot. Then he fired again
ut the ropes. fell with a sudden jar.
I saw third rope swiftly unraveling;
1t had been cut. Just then a shell
burst near and drove the plane away.
"Got Foes Number"
Imagine my sensation, swinging
helplessly in the air. watching the rope
the parting of which would plunge
me! Well, the parachute collapsed
about thirty feet above a forest. Here
| am, and my only hope is to get back
and get chance at that German avi-
ator. / remember his plane number
yes, / got his number"
