Tuesday night. The inmates Of the
prison had been In surly mood
ever since and early today gathered
outside their barracks and began to
jibe the guard. also to pelt him with
stones.
After repeated orders to the pris'
oners to dispense were unheeded, the
guard fired.

Paris, July Correspondence
OF the Associated Press. The case OF
one American marine who went
through hail OF shrapnel and ma
chine gun fire at Cantigny and is
now convalescing from wound In
the great America military hospital
at Neuilly. in the Paris suburbs.
seems to have demonstrated that the
American field helmet, commonly
called by soldiers. the "tin hat" is
a throughly reliable article when put
to the supreme test.
This marine owed his life to his
"tln hat" and the peculiar qualities
of its steel In giving slightly without
shattering. In the midst OF the ac'
tion he went down with ball strik-
ing the top of the helmet and pres
sing down to the skull. He was
brought back, along with the helmet
which showed a deep indentation
about the size of half baseball. 1t
was this indentation which had
pressed down to the scalp, making a
wound which required trepaning.
But there It stopped, and the metal
OF the tin hat after giving to the mis-
sle until Its force was spent, had
stopped It In its deadly flight
straight toward the brain. The tre-
paning operation was only slight and
the marine was we'll on the way to
recovery.
The indented helmet was preserv-
ed, not as a souvenir, but to be for
warded to the ordnance experts at
Washington to show them the good
qualities OF their helmets. 1t is said
that a hard and brittle steel, which
would have resisted without giving,
would have been shattered to bits by
the impact and the ball would have
gone straight through the brain.
In an adjoining ward stalwar'
young marine who had been in the
same Cantigny fight stood at atten'
tlon with no apparent sign Of wound
But the surgeon, feeling the boys

where 1t stopped. and had then de-
scended or been swallowed into the
stomach.
< An X-ray examination clearly
showed the ball In the intestines.
But instead OF removing II by an
operation the surgeons decided to
await the course of nature and see II
the soldier would digest the rifle
ball. And this he did. One Of the
surgeons remarked that the chances
Of such a thing happening were less
than one In a million, but a colleague
added that the chances were for less
than that as he could not recall any

When the big dietary kitchen was
inspected later there was savory
