BACK FROM BATTLE FRONT WITH SCARS
 BUT BEARS A SMILE
Montgomery Boy Describes Battle Where the 167th Infantry Made History
 in France

Montgomery, October 2o-(Special.) Bearing the scars of battle. but with d smile that indicates genuine pleasure 'ndl ne came out of the battle that rased Tor days around Chateau Thierry where the 167th infantry added more honors to the Alabama contingent in France, Lawrence Fassman. an old Nont- gomeFy Grey's militiaman, is hack in Montgomery. At the little home of rela- tives at 731 McDonough street. south Pri- vate Fassman, Sunday, described the hat tie that apparently was the beginning of tne end or autocracy's rule in Germany
 The 167th infantry fought beside . regiment of Frenchmen of the same num- ber-the 167th-and the French can't un- derstand the daring tactics of the Ala bana boys" Fassman said as he held his badly wounded right hand
 The Alabama boys act like they are going to a picnic when told to go over the top And, if you recall, there are few Alabama boys in German prison camps. The number, I believe. is five It was the 167th that decided to go through the war without taking prison- ers-and if possible-escape being taken to the German camps''
 Fassman verified the oft-repeated story of German machine gunners being found cHdtheu 10 tne1r guns. Fearing the gum ners would become excited and retreat the officers, Fassman said, ordered them chained to the guns
 FOOLISH QUESTIONS
 DO the Americans kill these men who are chained to the guns?' a man in Florida, where I worked for the Liberty Loan, asked me. Do they kill them? What very foolish question. Would they kill us? Yes, we did; and will continue to kill the men who kill us.''
 Fassman advanced with his company at o'clock the afternoon of July 26 At 6:30 o'clock that same afternoon. as the Americans were rushing toward the fcrest near Chateau Therry. Fassman was struck by dum-dum bullet, while another machine gun bullet went through the muscle of the left arm A German Red Cross worker, dead nearby, carried bandages, but Fassman was unable to move forfear the German gunners would see him. After five minutes he was able to walk back to the first-aid station and the following day, after travelling all night in an American ambulance he was operated on at the base hospital
 It was in the battle of Chateau Thierry that Capt. Julian Strassburger of Mont gcmery, Capt. Gardner Green of PelI City and other widely known Alabam- ians, were killed and wounded
 Fassman Monday leaves for hospital at McFnerson, Ga, where he has been ordered to undergo an operation that will give him free use of his four fingers on the right hand. Fassman is the first Montgomery soldier to be sent back home after being wounded.

VOICE OF PEOPLE OBEYED

"rThe voice of the people must be obeyed and the press is the great medium
 for that voice. I have in mind several measures calculated to embody this pop ular movement in concrete form" Speaking of China, Premier Hara said he held to the open door policy of the
 Lansing Ishii agreement and would Iconstantly adhere to the policy of non- interference in the internal affanrs of China.
 The same, he said, was true in the case of Russia, where Japan only wished responsible government Japan, however would never agree to see Russia dominated by German influ- ence. The premier declared that Japan's ex- petition into Siberia was the result of a consultation with the United States and the allies and that Japan had nc intention of taking independent action in the future.
