Shot by Own Officer

1t was a surprise affair. The
Americans came one way and the
German officers tried to force their
men forward the other way. This
prisoner was shot in the leg by his
own officer because he hesitated con-
fusedly between the American guns
and bayonets and the pistols in the
hands of the German officers.
Raymond S. Howell, Of Barnes
vile, Ohio, who was in the first line
of the advance, describing the oper-
alton, said:
1--WE took up position in the open
wood. There were no trenches. The
Germans opened a heavy fire, and
shells fell around us like rain. We
charged over the rocky hill, our fell
lows laughing and yelling war
whoop. We then came upon a wheat
field and crossed in the face of a
whitening shell and machine gun fire
and drove back the Germans at the
point of the bayonet.

Germans Pay Dearly

at was a wonderful sight. The
Americans never hesitated and the
sound of their shouts and whoops
was almost drowned by the Ger
mans cries of 'Kamerad.'
The Germans got few of our
fellows, but we made them pay dear
ly for every one."
Herbert +. BARLEY, Of Anita,
Iowa, told about a wounded Ameri-
can forcing a big German to lead
the way to the rear of the Ameri-
can lines. When they reached the
lines the American said, quietly,
Here's my prisoner" The German
sheepishly nodded and said ga
One OF the American wounded re-
marked to the correspondent:
II got bumped pretty badly, but
guess it was worth while. If we had

Hold 3 Sectors in Alsace
The new sector held by American
troops in Alsace is in the region
northwest of Gebweiler. This sec
tor is not far from the famous Hart

hard lighting in the past.
The Americans are now holding
Il considerable front in three diff.
ferent sectors in Alsace.
The raid Monday morning ir
which two companies of French and
American troops near Badonyille,
lost prisoners, was made by an en-.

ism of the Americans could not be
checked by this circumstance.
The American artillery again
brilliantly carried out its part in
throwing the entire German line
into confusion. Prisoners said that
the position from which they had
been taken was like an inferno un-
der the American fire. They were
happy to get out alive.
Officer Is Arrogant
4 German officer, arrogant and
sarcastic, remarked:
We are just starting with the
Americans. We are going to wipe
oet whole divisions as If they were
companies"
The German privates were less
arrogant, and apparently were glad
they were captured. One declared
that the Germans were surprised at
the Americans, who appeared so
young, but fought like devils when
they got started. Another declared ::
THE war will soon be ended.
There are too many Americans
coming to Europe
This prisoner was Prussian who
fought on the Russian front. He
confessed that the Germans were
preparing to attack the Americans
in Belleau Wood when the Ameri-
can troops started their attack.

Keep a closewatch on yourstom-
ach this summer. We need all our
fighting strength. War work
change of diet-will make us all
easier prey to stomach and bowel
trouble than ever before. It is SO
easy to become overheated on a
blazing hot day, especially after
eating hearty meal. And then
the excessive heat makes us flood
our stomachs with all kinds of
cold drinks. That's bad at any
time; much worse-even danger
ous-when there is the slightest
feeling of stomach trouble.
Keep the stomach sweet and
cool and free from too much acid
that's about all that is neces-
sary.u It's not SO much the diet
as to keep the poison from start
ing trouble. You can easily do
this if you will just take tablet or
two of EATONIC after your meals.

Secretary Baker Decides Work or
Fight Rule includes Players.
Washington, July 22.-Professional
baseball was held a nonessential oc-
cupation under the army work-or-fight
order by Secretary Baker.
II have decided that the work-or-
fight regulations include baseball"
said Mr.. Baker in announcing his de-
cision.
In brief the secretary held that
with many players beyond draft age it
is by no means certain that complete
disorganiZation of the baseball bust
ness will follow, that baseball players
are men of unusual physical ability
and alertness, able to adequately pro-
vide for their families in productive
occupations and that the employment
of ablebodied persons in nonproduc-
tive work cannot be justified on the
ground of the social value of the ma
tional game.
