FORMER EDITOR

 LIAS0N AGENT
(New York Times)

peaceful pursuits in the streets of New York fight and die in trenches and on battlefelds 5000 miles from home is graphically told in "C What Happens" a tiny newspaper edited and published by the enlisted men of Company c, 165th Infantry, for merly New York's beloved Sixty. ninth.
 None of the three editors-Cor- porals Louis Klopsch. Thomas O'Kel- ly and E. F. McCarthy7-is trained writer. but they describe what they see Interestingly and with the hu- man touch as only those who wit ness comrades die and at the same time unfiinchingly await death them selves are able to do
 With the receipt of the trench newspaper comes letter from Cap tain William Remedy, who com mands c Company, to relative here. but the captain neglects to mention anything about his heroism in carrying Corporal Thomas O'Kelly from trench that was being shelled.
 "The Man We Follow"
 In describing the incident, e What Happens" under the caption, 'The Man We Follow" says:
 When the rain of shrapnel be. came so heavy that to remain on the surface seemed like flirting with death. Captain Kennedy ordered all his men to the dugouts. When all in sight had disappeared, the cap tain climbed into dugout himself
 He had hardly reached the safety zone when a shell proved that the boche had the range. All at once the fact that Corporal and LiasOn Agent Thomas O'Kelly. his sprained ankle making the trip to safety long and hard. was not in the dugout dawned on Captain Kennedy. In less time than it takes to tell, the captain was rushing through shell fire to do his best for one of his men. Fortunately, neither was killed, and the incident simply illustrates the famous Company c spirit
 The CctpL al '.'KClly mentioned is one of the most popular men in the Sixty-ninth. His home is in Limerick, Ireland, and he had ar rived in this country on concert tour from Australia when the Sixty ninth had been called to the colors. He cancelled all his contracts and joined the famous regiment as d private. He was formerly a member of the Royal Carl Rosa Opera con- pany.
 Perfect Discipline Under Fire
 When the latest edition was pub lished," says an editorial, we were rockies. Today we are American veterans. We have tasted the best or the worst that 'F it can offer and liked it. For days the enemy baptized us with artillery. Then he gave us a chance to test our auto. matics on his aircraft before the warning of our sentries that gas was coming made us don our masks and seek the dugouts. Not once in those trying days did one man in Com pany c falter. Net once did that famous C spirit waver. Not a man was lost, not drop of American blood was spilled. The discipline at all times was perfect, and it Is with pardonable pride we point to the remarkable record of the C spirit"
 Evidently the editors had to quit their task at this time to hurry back into battle, for on the next page the writers pause to scribble a few lines that are found under the title "In Memoriam":
 For the first time we are called upon to dip our pen in the honored blood of our dead. Corporal William ElwoOd and Private Joseph Miller have laid down their lives for the cause of humanity. Unfiinchingly, fearlessly, even eagerly they met their end. When President Wilson issued his first call for volunteers these heroes answered at once. They have given their all. More, no man can give. We who are left behind are sad, for the gap in our ranks can never be filled. It marks the first breach in that organization that worked faithfully at Camp Mills, that faced the perils of the Allan. tic, that went through the hardships of the first winter in France. To the relatives and friends of our dead we extend the sympathy of the men and officers of the company of which they were members and for which they have made history"
 Buried Under the Flag
 And finally under the headline, Our Heroes Rest Where They Fell," the paper says:
 Tn little town near the spot where they gave their lives for hu- manity rests all that is mortal of
