CAPTURED MARINE TELLS
 THRILLING STORY OF A
 zsf BATTLE WITH THE HUNS

f to screen the roadside heaps of am
 munition boxes.
 Shared Captors' Mess He had no blankets to roll in at
 night, but his captors shared their
 mess with him. pouring out each
 time an unsavory soup or gruel. and tossing him coarse chunks of bread
 to sop it up with.
 Each day a different soldier took
 him in tow. Each day the shifting
 sound of the artillery told him he was gravitating slowly toward the
 rear Each night an armed guard watched over him.
 Then one night-the seventh-the guard, who sat huddled with his
 back resting against a tree, dropped | off to sleep. Dark was just setting
 over the patch of woods on the edge
 of which they had turned in. By | the moonlight that filtered down | through the branches he could see the guards head holding, nodding. He itched to get his hands on that rifle, but the guard was holding it | upright between his knees as sort of prop. Donahue was afraid even
 to try to disengage it.
 He groped about for weapon
 His hand landed on the short, light end of a broken pick handle. It wouldn't do it. He looked for the other piece, found it, hefted it. It
 would do With that piece of wood he took one vicious swing at the head of his guard, saw that nodding
 head stop nodding and slump for
 ward. Then Donahue went away from there.
 Woods Thick With Them All around him Germans were
 sleeping audibly. The woods were
 full of them. He had heard the un- intelligible, gradually subsiding hub bub of their talk as they settled down for the night He bumped in to more than one of them, but they only grunted and swore while he
 held his breath and, after a time
 crept on. After a journey that seemed to last at least hours and must have lasted ten minutes, he
 reached the edge of the woods and | crawled back under a bush to think Very close to him the German ar l tillery was making an occasional reply to the Allied shells which
 whirred nasally overhead in an un- ending chorus. Gunfire is as good as a compass. It was easy enough to take his bearings. and, though he could only guess how far he had moved in the days of his captivity he thought America" could not be
 more than eight kilometers away perhaps not that far off if the hunch
 had advanced any in the interval. He knew his only chance was to
 crawl there by night and lie low by day He started out.
 All that night he crept along
 hugging the hedgerows and the shad
 ows. stopping to listen, lying still
 as death when soldiers were tramp
 ing by, crawling on again, dropping flat, crawling on. All the next day
 he lay, hungry and thirsty. in a
 friendly oat-field. with the grain standing straight around him so that
 no one would notice him from the
 fields edge.

A story that reads like fiction, is that of the capture and eight day trip into Germany of Private Dona' hue, a young Marine. It is told in copy of the Stars and Stripes, the official newspaper of the A. E. F.. which was received by James Me Closkey, from his son, Eugene, who is in France.
 The story reads:
 This is the story of Private Dona hue. It is the story of young Mar inc who, in the midst of a confused and savage midnight skirmish on the edge of a ravine up Torcy way northwest of Chaeau-Thierry, vanish ed from the ranks of his company and was not seen again until eight days later, when, hungry, dirty, tired sore and happy, he crawled into the American lines at dawn. How he got into Germany" he is not sure. He remembers rush of troops in the dark and a blow over the head. The next thing he re members, he was lying on the ground outside a candle-lit tent. There was nightmare scuffle and bustale going on around him It was still dark. His rifle was gone. His clothes had been ripped open and his pockets emptied. As he found out later they had taken everything, his dog-tag, his note book full of thoughts on war, his money, his letters and clippings and snapshots from home.
 He Got His Information
 Someone was standing over him. speaking to him in passable Eng lish It was a German officer-a lieutenant, he thought. He scram bled to his feet. The lieutenant eyed him sternly.
 How many Americans are over there?"
 The young Marine, as though he had beetn rehearsed in the part for weeks, looked his captor squarely in the eye and answered:
 "Thirty-two American divisions and 40 French"
 The next moment he lay sprawling in the dirt, and from that posture into which the lieutenant had kicked him he was rewarded by the music of that worthy relapsing into angry German:
 "Schweiner, Amerikaner; schweiner Amerikaner!"
 The refrain was caught up by the underlings who hustled him away Of all the jabber that reached his ears during the next few days, that was what he heard the often est It was all he understood. It was his favorite form of address used by the weary succession Of guards put over him.
 AS he was the only prisoner in sight-the only American save for five or six wounded Tanks he once saw carried past him on stretchers- he was not made one of party of prisoners to be shipped directly to the rear. but rather was he handed back from group to group and made to work his way.
 From sun-up to sun-down he work ed with the camouflage men, mask. ing batteries, cutting branches. and piling bough on bough of leafy green

THE BATTLE HYMN
OF THE REPUBLIC
1918 Version

with apologies to Julia Ward Howe
and W. Steffe.)
We've listened to the countless crimes
committed by the Hun,
The mind can scarcely realize the
frightful things he IS done,
While trying in his pomp and might
the world to overrun,
But right is bound to win.
(Chorus)
Well avenge the Lu-si-tan-ia.
Wen avenge the Lu-sitan-ia.
Wen avenge the Lu-si-tan-ia.
On ''The Mad Dog of Berlin
We've seen in watchful waiting'
how the Kaiser's "kultur' works
In poor Armenia's slaughtered hordes
by Wilhelm's bloody Turks,
IN Belgium's armless children, too, its
ficnlish serum turks,
But right is bound to win.
Dear allied friends across the sea your
wrongs shall be redressd,
Tho humbled by the German lords
that now your soil infest,
''Old Glory' comes to aid you to ex-
terminate the pest,
For right is bound to win.
Attention." sons of Washington,
your country calls today,
Unsheath the sword and "Double
time!' to enter in the fray,
The Macedonian CALI is heard, re-
spond without delay,
For right is bound to win.
Our pledge to kill this "kultur" bug
we surely will redeem,
With allied help III bring to naught
the Kaiser's crazy dream,
With wings outspread and flashing eye,
the Eagles due to scream,
For right is bound. to win.
Then FORWARD, MARCH" the
clarion cry ascends from hill and
plain,
From North and South, from East and
West it echoes back again,
While "LEADEN PILLS FOR PRUs.
SIAN ILLS" will be the glad re-
frain, rG.7,
For right is bound to win. ''.'
