The L'Anse sentinel. (L'Anse, L.S., Mich.) 18??-current, 1918-12-20

After brief pause we went ahead.
On the evening Of August l we reached
a farmyard near eDuren. Our company
was bllleted in barn. No one knew
what we~had to do. Ignorant of the
purpose of our being sent so near the
Belgian border we laid down on our
beds OF straw. Something had to
happen soon to rescue us from this I'M
certainty.
How few suspected that would be
the last night for many of us on Ger
man ground. An alarm took us from
our beds at 8 a. IN. The company
gathered and the captain demonstrate
ed the war situation. AS to the direc-
ton Of the march he himself was ig-
norant.
Scarcely half an hour later so big
trucks drove up and stopped on the
road before our quarters. The driv-
ers also were ignorant and waited for
orders. Discussion Of our destination
started afresh. The orderlies who
had been keeping their ears open said
we would enter Belgium that day.
Others contradicted them. no one
knew for certainty.
But the order to march did rot come
and ia the evening we went back to
our straw. But the rest was
short. At n. IN. we were again
aroused and honored by speech from
our captain. He said we were at war
with Belgium. He told us to show
ourselves brave, deserve the iron cross
and bring honor to Germany. Then he
continued:
"we only make war against the
armed force. the Belgian army. Life
and property of civilians are protected
under international law. Yet you sol
diers must not forget to keep your
lives for the fatherland or sell them as

bridges. There was a terrific report
followed by an inferno. Both bridges
crumbled In the middle. Both were
crowded beyond their limits. Bits OF
Germans came raining down Tor AZ

spectator. while from the rivers the

For few minutes the river was
literally choked with bodies. The
Germans were at last moving on
Paris, but In way they had hardly
reckoned.
Between puffs of a cigarette. the
first he'd had in day, Frank Hogan
Of Galveston, Tex, confirmed Sturtzs
story of the wholesale drowning OF
the enemy. The Texan was working
Stokes gun hundred feet from the
southern bank of the river when the
first waves Of field-green began to
cross.
"You can't say enough for those
artillery guys" he said, as he tried
to twist into as comfortable posi-
ton as wounded thigh permits.
"Ten minutes after the orders had
been telephoned to the batteries they
had perfect range on that river.
While we were pouring bullets into
the Heinies the guns got their num-
bers with both small and large
shells. At the spot where we were
stationed l reckon there must have
been about 5000 of the Fritzies

over 1.5OO ourselves and killed easily
500. The rest were trying to beat it
back to the other side when our shells
hit their bridges"
Some Sharpshooter.
A Pittsburgher. NJ G. Rameno, who
was injured in the arm by piece or
shrapnel, says there's one American
sharpshooter that made n record any

This is a true story Of the
invasion of Belgium and
northern France at the be-
ginning of the world war,
written by an officer Of the
German army who took part
in the mad rush toward
Paris. Sickened by the
atrocities committed upon
civilians and soldiers, he de-
serted after several months
service and finally made his
way to the United States.
His disclosure Of the un-
speakable crueIties perpe-
trated by the German SOL
diers, under orders from
their officers, Is one of the
most sensational documents
the war has produced.

DEAR MISS FAIRFAN:
l am a girl twenty years old and
there is young man who comes
to my house and do not care much
for him. He takes me automobiling
and is very entertaining, but / do
not want him to call any more
Please advise what to say when
tell him he should not call.
BROWNE YED SUSAN
Brown Eyed Susan. The only way
to be fair to yourself and to the boy
is to tell him frankly that you do
not care to have him call. You can
choose your own words best, but let
him understand clearly that any as
pirations of his in regard to you are
utterly hopeless. 1t is better to do
so, even though you must hurt his
feelings, than allow him to delude
himself into the belief that you care
for him because you allow him to
call. In later years he will respect
YOU more for it.

MARKET UNCERTAIN
AT THE OPENING
Early Dealings in the Stock Exchange Unusually Cir
cumscrbed, Many Active Stocks Remaining
Unquoted- Bonds Irregular

New York, April 2.-Wall Street
-Early dealings on the stock ex-
change to-day were unusually cir
cumscribed many active issues re-
naming unquoted in the first half
hour. The uncertain and superficial
tone of the market was indicated
by a one point gain in Colorado Fuel
and a decline of as much in Miami
Copper in consequence of the re-
duced dividend. L. S. Steel reacted
a small fraction and st. Paul pfd.
was heaviest of the rails, losing l IA
points. Liberty Bonds were irregular.
The dullness of the morning ses-
sion established a low record for
many months, sales of the first hour
/ barely aggregating $4,000 shares
The markets hollow character may
be judged from the fact that Stude-
! taker was the active feature at a
further decline of one point, other
motor issues losing one to two
points. Miami extended it's setback
to two points and equipments, ship
| pings and oils averaged one-point re-
cessions, while Alcohol lost one and
| three-fourths Liberty Bonds became
! heavy, the 3las selling at 9S.92 tc

AMERICAN PRIDE
NOT TO HOLD UP
BIG OFFENSIVE
Merging of National Identity
With Allies to Be but
Temporary
BY Associated Prrs=

Washington, April. 2.-The an
nouncement from London that
American Army units are to be
brigaded with British and French
organizations was interpreted by
Army officers here to-day as indicat-
ing the United States government
is ready to thrust aside all ques-
tions of national pride in placing
American manpower at the imme-
diate disposal of the allies.
The plan was decided on at con-
ferences by Secretary Baker and
Generals Bliss and Pershing and
British and French officials.
Details of the method to be fol-
lowed presumably will he arranged
by General Pershing. There was ev-
cry indication that American troops
now in training here are to be rush
ed across regardless of their effici-
ency and fed into the French and
the British machines. originally as
battalions or larger units.
The British statement carefully
| notes that the national aspect of
General Pershing's army is not to
| be impaired. The building up of
that purely American war machine
will proceed as rapidly as possible.
Supplementing that effort, however,
other American units will be fed to
the front through the French and
British lines to meet the present
emergency.
Arrangements for the transpor-
! tation of these additional forces, -
the British statement said, ARE
now being completed"
This was regarded here as an in
| dication that the full extent of
British troopship capacity is to be
devoted to taking forward American
| units, and insures, it is said, the
early delivery in Europe of at least
double the American manpower that
could have been forwarded in the
same time otherwise"
1t was noted that the statement
pointed out that the American
forces merged with the British and
French are to be withdrawn when
! their training is completed and
General PershinG wishes to with
VI a w NhNiil " buliu up liiC AHlCl lNsill
Army To many officers here,
however, the picture presented after
active operations is one of French
American and British american
units of the French and the British
armies when the individual soldiers
will he so intermiXed that it will be
impossible to withdraw them with
out disintegrating the divisions or
brigades
Whatever efforts may be made to
keep a purely American unit in a
veteran division of one of the other
armies, officers say the eXigcncies
of conflict and the problem of re-
| placing losses will lead to the Gre
alton ultimately of composite bat
talions rather than of divisions,
composed of French and American
| or British and American units. A
complete merging of the men is as
! certain. it is believed, as is the
complete merging of Regular Army.
| National Army and National Guard
units in the American Army. There
| is no practical way to avoid it, off,
GERS say, without impairing the eff
| cency of the entire force.
There are many officers who be-
! lieVe this to be the only practical
solution of the transportation and
supply problems, if American mill
tary power is to be made immedi-
ately available to repel the German
! onslaught.
