Njnteen Year Old
Marine Wears Many
War Decorations

Correspondence Associated Press.l
Paris. Sept 22.-The only decorations
worn by Private Luke Thayer, Jr. of
the United States marines up to two
years ago were those received about
his optics when he settled his disputes
in the good old Yankee way.
Today Luke, who is a trifie over ID
years old, wears three campaign rib
bons, croix de guerre with palm.
two wound stripes and two other
stripes indicating q years service In
France.
Incidently he is wearing half dozen
scars from boche shrapnel and bullets.
Luke Is the son of the chief Of police
of Georgetown. Pa. He was living at
1907 Arch street, Philadelphia. when
recruiting poster caught his eye and
he decided to see the world thru the
medium OF the United states marine
corps travel agency. BY stretching his
five feet six to the full limit and by
looking the recruiting officer in the
eye without blushing while he swore he
was within the legal age limit for en-
listing, Luke got into the soldiers Of
the sea-"
The story of Luke's adventures since
that date came out in this city, when.
while convalescing in a large military
hospital. he got permission to visit the
headquarters Of the knights Of Column
bus so that he could obtain free smokes
and entertainment. He got both and I
got his story.
Within a few months after Luke
enlisted he earned his first campaign,
ribbon by helping to impress the might
Of Uncle Sam on some Of the native
OF San Domingo. y jaunt to Haiti was
next in order where he acquired a..
other ribbon.
1t was at Belleau wood that Luke
earned the right to wear the war cross
with O. palm. A detachment of the
marines was with French regiment

camouflased by a clump of bushes.
two German machine guns we're
splitting death into the ranks of the
French and the marines. Twelve vol
unteers were called for to storm the
two nests and Luke was one of the
twelve.
The twelve divided into two bodies.
but in the five with Luke only one got
others were either killed or wounded.
Three grenades well placed by the boy
from Pennsylvania finished up the
crew of the gun he was after.
Over on the other part OF the hillock
Luke noticed his pals" were having
tough time. He turned the gun he had
captured on the Germans still fighting
with the other bullet splitter" and not
only finished them quickly, but routed
a counter attack made by about thirty
of the boche. Aid arrived a little later.
but before that time fragments of a
shell had put Thayer out OF action
Since that time he's re-
covered enough to have had the war
cross pinned on him, and he's happy,
for the surgeons have told him he'll
get back into action soon.
This wouldn't be such bad old
war;" said Thayer; IF only those
French Generals wouldn't insist on
kissing guy when they pin a medal
on him."

According to Mr.. DOwell, no great
faith is placed by army officers in the
statements of German prisoners. Often
these captives say the things they
think the Americans want to hear. and
oftener than that they tell deliberate
falsehoods in an attempt to diminish
the effort of the Americans. Much
