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 tree, dropped off to
sleep. Dark was just settling 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 nodding, nod
ding. He itched to get his hands on the
rifle, but the guard was holding it up
right between his knees as sort of
to disengage it.
He CROPPED about for weapon. His
hand landed on the short, light end of
broken pick-handle. 1t wouldn't do. He
looked for the other piece, found it, heft-
ed it.. 1t would do. With that piece of
wood he took one vicious swing at the
head of the guard, saw that nodding
head stop nodding and slump forward
Then Donahue went away from there.
Woods Thick With Them
All around him Germans were sleep
ing audibly. The woods were full Of
them. He had heard the unintelligible,
gradually subsiding hubbub of their talk
as they settled down for the night. He
bumped into more than one Of them, but
they only grunted and swore while he
held his breath, and, after time, crept
on. After journey that seemed to last
New-York tribune., 1918-08-18

hours and must have lasted at least ten
minutes, he reached the edge of the
woods and crawled under bush to think.
Very close to him the German artillery
was making an occasional crashing reply
to the Allied shells which whirred mas
ally overhead in an unending chorus.
Gunfre is as good as a compass. 1t 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 "Amerca" could not be more
than eight kilometres away, perhaps not
that far if the bunch 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-hug
ging the hedgerows and the shadows,
stopping to listen, lying still as death
when soldiers were tramping by, crawl
ing on again, dropping fiat, crawling on.
All the next day he lay, hungry and
thirsty, in friendly oat-feld, with the
grain standing straight around him so
that no one would notice him from the
fields edge.
Several times some soldiers made
short cuts across, and passed so close
he could hear them talking. Once an ar
tilleryman, riding a horse and leading
another, trotted so near that they all but
trampled him under foot.
New-York tribune., 1918-08-18

But the only ones who found him were
the dogs, and they did not tell. Twice
a shaggy Red Cross dog, with its first
aid pack and food strapped to its back,
proudly tracked the worried Donahue to
his hiding place, flourished enthusiastic
cally around him, and threatened to bring
him succor willy-nilly. He longed to rifle
their packs and eat again, but each time
he only lay quiet and prayed for the
amiable dog to be off.
1t was toward the end of the second
night that the young marine, creeping
up the side of ravine, was stopped in
his tracks by the voice of a sentry.
'Halt!"
1t was the word he had been sick with
fear he should hear during two interim
nable nights, but when he finally heard it
the voice was an American voice.
On His Feet Once More
"I'm an American" he answered, and
investigated to see what it felt like to
stand up once more.
"Halt!"
"Oh, hell" said Private Donahue;
"where's brigade headquarters
A little later, after stolen nap under
cover of two discarded potato sacks and
a sunrise breakfast at the field kitchen
Of another regiment, he was telling bri-
gade headquarters all about it.
After that he told his story to every
one, from the credulous cook and the
skeptical top to some imposing beings
who questioned him at French head
quarters before his battalion went back
into the line. He had kept his eyes
open, and he had information to give
that can hardly be set forth here.
His audiences were not without their
doubters, but these had not much to say
when the report came back from the
French that Private Donahues account
of his eight days AWOL was packed
with detail that could not possibly have
been furnished except by one who had
actually journeyed some miles into Ger
many"
New-York tribune., 1918-08-18

This is the story Of Private Donahue.
1t is the story of young marine who, in
the midst of confused and savage mid
night skirmish on the edge of ravine
up Torcy way, northwest of Chateau
Thierry, vanished 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 blow over the head. The
next thing he remembers he was lying
on the ground outside candle-lit tent.
There was nightmare scutfle and
hustle going on around him. 1t 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
notebook full of his thoughts on war, his
money, his letters and clippings and
snapshots from home.
He Got his Information
Some one was standing over him,
speaking to him in passable English. 1t
was a German officer-a lieutenant, ha
thought. He scrambled to his feet. The
lieutenant eyed him sternly.
GLOW many Americans are over
there?"
The young marine, as though he had
been rehearsed in the part for weeks,
looked his captor square in the eye and
answered:
"Thirty-two American divisions and
forty French"
The next moment he lay sprawling in
the dirt, and from that posture into
which the lieutenant had kicked him he
New-York tribune., 1918-08-18

was rewarded by the music of that wor
thy rclapsing into angry German:
"Schweiner Amerikaner, schweiner
Amerikanerw
The refrain was caught up by the un-
derlings who hustled him away. Of all
the jabber that reached his ears during
the next few days that was what he
heard oftenest. 1t was all he understood.
1t was the 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 Yanks he once saw carried past
him on stretchers-he was not made one
Of a party of prisoners to be shipped di-
rectly 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 worked
with the camouaage men. masking bat
teries, cutting branches and piling
bough on bough of leafy green to screen
the roadside heaps of ammunition 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 Cruel, and tossing him chunks Of
coarse bread to sop it up with.
Each day different soldier took him
in tow. Each day the shifting sound Of
the artillery told him he was gravitating

ETIQUETTE HINTS FOR
DOuGHBOYS
By BRAN MASH
Questions Answered

o. P.-Yes, you stand at attention and
say "Sir" to a British regimental
sergeant major, but you do not salute
him when passing on the street or road.
(Note: This is straight dope and not the
usual kind of bull that gets into this
column-Ed.)
Y. R. F.-The seat on the Tops right is
undoubtedly the seat of honor for your
guest, but also tho seat of danger; that
is, unless the Top is southpaw.
G. L. M.-When borrowing some one
else's puts for guard mount be sure, of
course, to return them rolled in the
original order, and not hindside to. If
you fail to take them back in shape your
friend may be out of luck himself the
next time he tries to make orderly.
H. F.-No, you are not required to
salute German officers when you meet
them up front unexpectedly. You are,
however, expected to invite them over
into our lines at once, and to see that
they are made thoroughly at home in
the cage provided for them. Also, you
should keep them we'll covered, so they
won't catch cold
U. H.-No, it would not get you any
where to give a lawn party in honor of
your division commander. In the first
place, he would probably be too busy to
come himself, and would send some mere
snip of captain from his staff to rep
resent him. In the second place, where
in the name of time would you get the
lawn?
G. Q.-Yes, celluloid cuffs are distinct
ly out of place with the O. D. shirt. Be-
sides, they have to be cleaned with spit,
and when you are on hike you're so dry
you can't spit If you have pair it is
better to stand them up and shoot at
them, rather than to shoot them in the
more conventional way.

Senate Committee
To Vote on Estate
Tax Elimination
Some Members Object to
Duplicating lmposts Lev
led by 40 States
By Theodore M. Knappen

WASHINGTON, Oct 26.-Aftcr ten
tatively adopting the rates Of taxation
in the inheritance tax title to replace
the estate taxation provisions of the
House bill the Senate Finance Com
mittee to- day agreed to vote Monday on
Senator Thomas's motion to dispense
with all such taxes. 1t is expected
the motion viii be lost, but some mem
hers of the committee think taxation
of estates and inheritances should be
left to state governments. inasmuch
as forty-four states now have such
revenue laws.
The rates average less than half OF
those of the estate tax now IN the bill
and are not greatly different from the
estate taxes of the present law. The
schedule is as follows:
Inhcrjtances of $4,000 to 5000,
per cent; $4,000 to $4,000. 2 per cent;
500, 900 to 500 600. ) per cent; 100000
to $15O.000, per cent: $4,000 to
$780, 900. ) per cent; 5000, 900 to $3.50.
per cent; 100000 to 81 900 900, Is per
cent: $l,000.000 to $500, 600. 20 per
cent; over $4,000 600. % per cent.
The rates in the middle Of the scale
are rather sitter than in the present
law. Whereas the maximum rate of 25
per cent is reached in the amendment
a $2.500,000. it is not reached IN the
law until the S10,000.000 figure is cX-
ceeded.
The amendment was itself amended
to exempt from taxation the estates
left by soldiers or sailors who die of
wounds or disease during the war or
within one year after it's termination.
Requests to charitable and philan-
thropic institutions. etc. are not to be
taxed. except as they exceed Is per
cent of the estate.
The committee spent much of the
day debating the question Of extending
the excess war profits tax to partner
ships and individuals. AS members of
partnerships and individuals in bust
ness are subject to the surtaXes. which
corporations are not, the question is
how to make the two go together.
The chances are. however, a way viii
be found to bring all forms of business
activity within the excess war profits
