AMERICANS FIGHT
HAND TO HAND

hand-to-hand fighting 1 ever heard"
writes Herbert Corey the war cor
respondent, in "Everybody's" for No
vember, ''came from an American
soldier who was at Cantigny and yet
could recall no incidents at all. He
painted a scene of utter, mad con-
fusion, through which men ran and
yelled and shot aimlessly, as it SEEM
ed. A. German and an American,
running madly, heads down, met each
other full on, breast to breast. They
reeled from the shock, glared at each
other for a moment, and each ran on.
A German ran bowling through the
fetid mist. His trench knife in his
right hand was red and his arm was
red to the shoulder. He tripped and
fell.
Then he sang" said the observer.
Just sat there in the middle of that
madness and sang. Some one killed
him"
Other Germans ran away. He re-
ported a curious optical illusion. 1.-The
Germans seemed about knee high

pump up and down very rapidly, as
in an old chase film, and yet they
did not make speed. Do you under

MR.. SPELLACY.
Hartford Times.)

The outstanding figure in the state
campaign which is drawing to a close
in Connecticut is United States Attor-
ney Thomas ]. Spellacy, the Demo-
cratic nominee for governor. Serene
and reposeful as the canvass dragged
itself through the summer and we'll
into the fall at a drowsy pace, he has
injected into the final week an in
tensive interest such as seldom has
stirred the electorate with a rapidly
so relatively bewildering. With all
the fervor and dynamics of action
which control his life and by the sheer
force of his winning personality and
candid argument, he has infused his
own spirit into a majority of the
voters, awakened the state to an cleo
trif1ed sense of the one great issue be-
fore the country and given body and
impetus to the Presidents patriotic
appeal that partisan politics should
not be permitted to interfere with the
prime motive of militant democracy.
Mr.. Spellacy's splendid record in
I the service of state and nation, the
well known cleanliness of his private
| life, his unassailable integrity and his
| fearless and honest independence
have impaired power and dignity to
his happily expressed injunctons and
to the clear and convincing presenta-
ton of views that spring from MS
active mind with thorough sincerity.
His frank and outspoken pleas and
recommendations have fallen upon
eager ears wherever he has gone
throughout the state. The decided
redness of the blood in his veins and
the generous and charitable impulses,
which he could not conceal If he
would, not only have won for him
sympathetic hearing everywhere nut
have turned self-supposed foes lnto
admirers and friends. His Fortnight
man-to-man attitude on every subject
and in every circumstance has gained
for him a public confidence unmarried
