AMERICANS FIND
CONCRETE POSTS
FOR ENEMY GUNS

With the American Army North
west of Verdun, Oct. 3, (By the
Associated Press Two concrete
emplacements for big guns were
discovered west Of Varennes when
New York troops advanced along
the eastern edge Of the Argonne
forest a few days ago. The guns
had been removed. The ernplace-
ments were 100 yards apart and
apparently were built more than a
year ago. A railroad had been
built leading up to them and this
enabled the enemy TO remove the
guns, ammunition and everything Of
value.
French and American heavy ar
tiIlery battered the enemy positions
throughout the entire region along
this front and it is thought that the
Germans made haste in removing
the big guns as soon as they saw
that a serious attack was impend-
ing.
Big guns were scattered through
the Argonne forest and from day

1t is claimed that the East Moline

that will set forth the unfairness
of the increase, and especially as a
discrimination against the company
as contrasted with what is charged
for street car fares for Rock Is

1t is understoOd~th the company

at full force on war work, and that
while the arsenal is of vast impor-
lance, the Root & VanDeFvoort

Rescued Prisoner
A very queer experience was OF
boy from Eastport He was wound
ed in the early hours of the morning
and was taken prisoner a. he lay on
a stretcher. He was taken over ana
given medical attention by the Boone
and kept there until they could get
transportation back Of the lines for
him. Two of his pals heard that he
was taken as a prisoner and decided
that he would be better off on this
side. They armed themselves for the
occasion and started across NO Man
Land in search of their chum. In
about two hours they were seen COM
ing through our front lines With their
chum on a German stretcher. They
wouldn't tell very much but it Is
needless to say that they had an ex-
citing time before they found their
man. When they started all they
knew was that he was somewhere
behind the Boche lines but as to his
exact whereabouts they knew moth
ing. | will say though that l would
hate to have been the hospital atten-
dants who were guarding their prize
package, as all Americans are to the
Boche.
Lieut.. Doane's Bravery
This next stunt l would say was
just plain nerve and DARN. A lieu
tenant who is from North Bangor
performed it with two men Of his
company. Before daybreak one
morning the three Of them started
over into the Boche territory to see
what they could find. They had been
gone about two hours when they re-
turned with Boche officer and pri-
vate. 1t looked as though they had
been over making a little social CAL
and that the Boches were returnin 9
the visit. Far be it from sucn
ficulties from the very first in get
ting over the lines There was bar
rage going on at the time which thew
had to so through to get to the
Boche lines. Then, it seems, that ev-
erybody they met wanted to fight.
They kept right on meeting this sort
of thing until they found these two
Boches who seemed very willing to
come across, owing to the fact that
they were covered by their captors'
guns. Then things went along fine
and they had to dispose of a few
more before they reached their own
lines. l have talked with the men Of
this fellows company and inquired
how he was liked by his men. One
fellow answered me like this, HE is
always telling US that he wouldn' t
ask his men to do anything that NJ
wouldn't want to do himself, but I
don't know of a damned thing that
that man wouldn't do"

OUR CnUN!RY'S SERVICE

In the following letter received
from Corp. George E. Thompson OF
Bangor, who is a member Of the 1881
Infantry band A. +. f., in Franco,
are described a number of eXperien-
ces and acts of bravery by Maine
bows. including that recently de-
scribed in the Commercial when
Lieut.. Doane and two men went over
into the Bochc lines and captured q
German officer and private:
am on gas guard for two hours
and have time to write CT some Of the
experiences that the boys Of the OLD
Pine Tree State have told as they
passed through my first aid station
and of others that l have converseI
with. First of all are two fellows
who 4 the band are stretcher bear
ers Volunteers We're asked for at
about l A. NJ. one day and these boys
Immediately volu .cered to go out in
TO NO Mans Land and bring in
wounded man. One of the lads was
from Brewer and the other from
Lincolnville. They went to the para
pet of our front lines, through our
barb wire across the stretch of No
Mans Land, most dangerouB and as
far as the Boche barbed wire They
followed this Last for perhaps three
fourths of mile until they found
the wounded man. Picking him up
they followed the same route back to
their own lines where they arrived in
safety after a very perilous trip.
Now let me explain what they really
did. Every minute or two the Boche
shot up star bombs or flares which
light up for perhaps a quarter of Il
mile. and swept the ground with mn
chine gunfire. Fverytime this was
done the men had to throw them
selves fiat on their stomachs so as
to escape detection. ley did this
time after time and had many bullets
W tie over their heads before they
reached their man. The trip took
them about four hours and when they
finished they made up some long lost
sleep.
Another is of a boy II years Of age
from Jackman, Me. His name was
Angus and because he was a frail
sort Of chap the boys Of his company
called him Agnes, In a lombard
ment one night, he, with three Of his
pals, were buried in a dugout by a
shell bursting in the doorway. His
three comrades were wounded, two
severely and he himself received a
shrapnel wound in the knee. The
first thing he did was to put on his
own gas mask and then those of the
other three because the smoke Of the
bursting she'll was very thick He
then took out his handkerchief and
made tourniquct for one of his pals
who was bleeding quite freely. He
then bandaged up the other two as
best he could What confronted him
now was no little task; that OF dig
ging himself and the other three out.
HIS hrst attempts were frustrated by

hands alone he succeeded in digging
himself free and running THROUGH J

to the dugout and then disappeared.
