found that a simple bath of iodine SO lution will heal the pain and prevent infection. Describing the scene. with in a tank which is being hit with machine gun bullets, the officer said:
 'As the bullets strike the tank, simultaneously with the sound of im- pact and the creation of the flake, a blue flame is seen, and when a ma chine gun is playing up and down the joints in the hope of finding 8 weak spot the interior looks much like 8 demonstration of cheap fireworks.
 While there is no danger from ma chine guns to a tank crew, there is real and pressing danger from armor piercing or explosive shells.
 Unless it is possible to get within mile of the guns before being discay- cred one is liable to come within a range of shells that will wipe the tank off the face of the earth. A direct hit means that everybody is going to get hurt, with the chances that somebody is going to be killed The Germans were always trying to make such a hit Onee within 2 mile of the enemy the tank is comparatively safe, for the guns cannot be depressed to get the
 range Then the only thing the tank has to deal with is the machine gun When this is accurately located the tank quickly runs it down, The Ger l man machine gunner was Germany s best fighter. Generally he would hang
 on to a position, peppering the timber jng. tank until he found it was nu ;uss 1 and fled or was run over,

STORIES OF THE WAR
Under Fire of Their Own Guns.


 Correspondence of The Associated
 Press.l
 Wounded and taken prisoners by the Germans and for two days kept in a dpgout oa the side of hill which was under shill fire alternately by the Americans and then by the enemy, two American pfivates were rescued by their comrades after forty eight hours of fighting. Owing to censorship reg ulations regarding wounded soldiers, it is not possible 10 give the names Of the. two men.
 The priVates were captured in the region of Chatel Chehery, along the eastern edge of the Argonne forest, just before Chate1 Chehery was cap Hred by the Alaericaps. While rhe Germans were endeaForing to decide what to do with the wounded men, the American artillery opened up and the Germans deterrnined iii a hurry to remove them to a nearby dpgolf, apd four big Germans crowded tn Fe- 1 side them. flor two days the artillery, first of l the Amerieans and then of the Ger mans, swept the hill, and sg intense was the" smelling that even the Ger mons did not attempt to eseape. l On the third day the American in l fantfy began going forward and when 1 the crest of the HiIl was reached there 1 was a rush of ti,e AIneficans to the i place where their two comrades Lad been wounded in an encounter while i making a reconnaissance in the early morning. Leading the men was Capt, Howell Foreman of Atlanta, Ca, who had little hope of finding the two men alive.

It is a matter in which tlere than Germany is concerned fer is must be realized that it makes difference as to how it emerges from Ue war as to whether it falls into the Hhnds of the bolsheviki or settles leVn 10 an orderly democratic gov stnnent which will be for the benefit Of not only Germany but the world. IL is not to be supposed that the d. ues will attempt to tell Germany what Iind of goyernment it must have, but < is apparently the feeling throughout he country that t is anxious to be sSved from those influences which haYe raised such havoc with Russia.
 1t is to be noticed that the entry of the allied armies into German ter r5fery Is being accompanied by an un- a:sguised welcome. It is not to be imagined that means that the people tre glad that Germany has lost for they arc not; but they appreciate the aid which is to be received in main leinlne order and preserving tl,err fren the ravages of lot of wild and Irresponsible elements.
