WILD TALES STIR
AMERICAN ARMY

With the American Expeditionary
Army in France, Feb. 15.---(By Mail)
Gee, I'm glad l didn't join the
marines. l heard today whole ba-
tallion of them was wiped out by
their own barrage on the British
front"
Up in the front line trenches we'll
meaning Sammy reeled off this piece
Of news to some of his friends. He
had heard it from another fellow who
got it straight from a guy that had a
feed-box tip from the majors orderly.
Although he didn't altogether be-
lleve it, he reckoned there might be
some truth in it. Anyway, there is
satisfaction in being able to tell the
other fellow something to startle him,
whether you are sure of it or not.
And that's the way the wild stories
go.
The myth about the marines was
flying around the American army not
only IN trenches but IN the training
camps.
In the Canadian army there is an
old myth that the boches cruci6ed a
Canadian sergeant alive, driving nails
through his hands and feet, just as
Christ was nailed to the cross. 1t has
been spread so widely and so persist
emily by word of mouth that thous-
ands OF people believe it. Some per-
sons claim to have seen a photograph
OF the sergeant on the cross.
Our soldiers had a frightfulness
story going through the American
army the day after that trench raid
IN which dozen of our men were
taken, prisoner. 1t was said that the
The Leader, enterprise and press. (Fitzgerald, Ga.) 1915-1921, 1918-02-20

boches cut out the prisoners tongues
because they refused to tell what ba-
TALON they belonged to and how
many divisions we have in France.
How the information was supposed
to have reached our men never was
explained. The fact remains that
some of the soldiers had a semi-be-
lief in it.
In one camp village there was a
story that an American soldier had
been taken out and shot at sunrise by
a firing squad because he forgot to
salute lieutenant. The Sammies
laughed at it, but some of the French
villagers seriously asked American Of
hcers if it were true.
Another yarn which was widely
circulated and furnished with many
circumstances, had an American Off
Ger shot as a deserter after he was
said to have been absent without
leave in Paris. He was said to have
been shot by the border guard as he
attempted to fee into Switzerland,
dressed as civilian. The officers
name was connected with the story
and one officer, friend of his, was
greatly relieved to hear that it was
all a fake. The officer concerned had
not been outside the village where
he was quartered, and he is known as
one of the hardest and most intelli-
gent workers in the regiment.
After the first experience of our
troops with the boche raiders the
whole army was restless and anxious
for a chance to wallop the enemy in
similar blow. The eagerness gave
birth to another taie---that we had
caught a German battalion under GU,
barrage during a daylight attack b,
the enemy. The Germans retreatec
in disorder, according to the tale
leaving the slopes dotted with theil
dead and wounded.

As that, because we make big effort

New York, Jan. l7.-Fire threatened
La fve-story warehouse filled with gov.
eminent food supplies located on the
waterfront near Congress street, Brook
lyn, Yesterday Four alarms were
turned in. Ice prevented aid by firemen
An hour after the discovery of the
blaze, it was estimated 100000 damage

struggling with ice foes in midstream,
endeavoring to get near the fame-en-

as the Robinson stores of the New York
Dock company, occupies nearly an en-
tire block. Fire Marshal Brophy hurried
to the scene after the fourth alarm and
began an investigation of reports of in
cendiarism
Mr.. Brophy later said the fire resulted
from a plumbers torch which ignited

it was believed the flames were under
