HOW HE TOOK 'EM
Chicagoan Tells Story of His
Capture of S3 Germans.
Did the Whole Job Single
Handed in Midst of Battle.

With the Americans on the Marine,
June 27.-Frank P. Lennart. the odd
est hero Chicago ever produced, told
the United Press last night how he
was forced to capture eighty-three
Germans in the midst of Tuesday
nights fierce battle at Belleau wood.
He had just arrived with his prison
ers, breathless with pride.
Dived Into Shell Hole.
You see, I got caught between the
lines" he said. II discovered a ma
chine gun staring straight at me and
dived into q shell hole.
THE gunner did not shoot, so
waited a while and then put up my
hands, gingerly hiding my head. Still
he didn't shoot, SO I slowly raised my
head and there stood the gunner with
his hands up. He toned for me
to come up and took me to the cap
tain who conveyed me to his dugout
He gave me something to drink and
some cigarettes and asked IL he wasn't
surrounded. 1 assured him he was.
They Asked to Surrender.
"He said. Wait a minute'-you
out. When he returned he said the
others wanted to surrender before
they were killed and asked me to take
them to the American lines.
All Hands Up.
I'VE started off with all hands, in
Guiding mine, held up. We got lost
in the woods and it took long time
to find an American sentry who was
surprised to see me with the Germans
Then some more Americans came III
and they wanted to escort my prison
ers to headquarters.
They're Nine"
II said, Nothing doing. They're
mine They let me have 'em and
brought 'em here"
The captains and lieutenants were
well dressed and the men were well
built and sturdy, tho some of them
said they had been without focd fol
two DAYS.

Duplicate of Last Year.
The setting for the lottery was q
duplicate of that of July 20 last, when
the drawing of 10.500 numbers deter
mined the liability for service Of an
proximately ten million men. In the
country at large there was little of the
excitement that attended the first
drawing. A year of war had served
to calm the American people. The
lack OF excitement. however. was
| largely occasioned by the fact that
today's drawing was fraught with only
, slight significance owing to the ques-
tionnaire method of classifications
Will Be Classified Later.
Today's drawing was to determine
only the relative summoning to the
| colors of the new registrants as finally
classified by the local board under
the QUESTIONABLE system. All of this

today will be assigned to the various
five classes on the basis Of informa-
| ton furnished in the Questfonnafrea
