THIS IS KULTUR.
(By United Press. J

With the American Army in
France, June 19.-(By MaiD-He
was one of those boys who was the
life of the company, always cheerful
and always making the rest grin just
by reason of his presence.
One night he had to stand guard
at an outpost alone, dangerous
place. About midnight he signalled
the approach of party Of Germans.
His comrades went out the dark
trench, but couldn't find him any
where. They looked and looked, and
then gave him up for lost, though
they knew he'd never quit and he'd
never be taken prisoner.
Next morning they found his body
beaten until it was most unrecogniz-
able. Beside it was a club, the end
of which was wound with barbed
wire, the weapon the barbarians had
used to batter his body when they
killed him.
Near him were the bodies of three
Germans he had killed before they
got him. In their haste to get away
from the outrage, the Germans had
left these bodies.
There is one company of Ameri-
cans that will never forgive Ger
many.

getter, for Schmahl has a record all
his own in the vote getting line.
Indrehus will put up real cam

on heavy republican vote for
Charles A. ~Lethert, their candidate
