Flanks Germans Out of Town

F1ankS Germans Out OF TOWN.
Lieutenant Milford Fredenburg, of
Ridgeway Pa, with his detachment,
managed TO get in back of the Ger
mans, thanking them out of the town.
Immediately supplies for several
days were thrown across the bridge
into the town and trenches were dug
around the outskirts. with special
emplacements and shelters for our
machine guns
1t was against this well-prepared
position that wave after wave of Ger
mans on Monday sprinkled the fields
with their dead. Corporal George
Farsall, of Bradford, Pa, is men
toned for personal bravery during
the enemy counterattacks.
Private Raymond Trainer, of
Paoli, Pa, with his machine guns did
unusually well, while Private John
Pa, stood out in the open unscath-
ed, piercing the Germans with hand
grenades..
Sergeant Thomas S. King, of Phil
adelphia, not only took command of
his company, when the officers were
hit, but cared for the wounded and
saw they were promptly removed TO
a dressing station.
Private James O'Neil, of West
Philadelphia, under heavy artillery
fire, went back to a bridge to test
it and see If an ambulance could
cross. He also brought up food to
the trenches during the fight, VOL
unteering for the difficult task.
Captain Charles Hendrick, of
Blairsville, Pa, for the last three
days and four nights has been liv-
ing in dugout at Fismette, direct
ing care of the wounded, in which
he has had the assistance of Captain
George A. McGinnis, of Philadelphia,
who personally conducted four am
balances across the river from Fis-
mes and evacuated twenty-eight
wounded MEN from this dugout
dressing station.
Our boys who drove these ambu-
lances, two to each ambulance, were
Harry Broadbent, of Philadelphia; !;
Raymond Onyx, of Kensington; John
F. Maxwell and Albert Smith, of
Frankford; Samuel Falls, Philadel-
phia; Alfred Baker, of Tacony; Mich
ael Biemuller. of Tacony, and Jack
Curry. of Philadelphia.
Tires Shot From Ambulances
Broadbent and Onyx had five TRES
shot out of their ambulances upon
their first try at the bridge. being
shelled down before they reached 1t.
They returned to the dugout and
helped carry back wounded from the
advanced lines until the bridge was
repaired. The same thing happened
to Maxwell and Smith. Falls and
Baker and Biemuller and Curry got
their first loads of wounded across
before the bridge was hit.
Major Frederick Hartung, of Pitts
burgh, and Major Edward Eiland, of
Corapolis, Pa. who were driven in a
small car by Private Walter Frosch,
of Pittsburgh, had thrilling ex-
periences. making repeated trips
from Fismes to Fismette, until the
car was riddled with shellholes and
had to be abandoned. Then they
continued the work of directing the
care of the wounded upon foot.
Another ambulance team, Private
Joseph M. Murray and James r.
Gum, both of Philadelphia, took
Captain Hendricks into Fismette and
were the first to get back with
complete account of the fighting,
which continues to be exceedingly
hard to get, as the roads back of
Fismes are filled with great she'll
holes and falling trees. A journey
to this point of the combat requires
four hours each way from the place
where the articles are censored and
put upon the cable for America.
