Returned Soldier
Tells of Christ
at Ypres Battle
CANADIAN ADDRESSES AT THE
CHAUTAUQUA BIG AUDIENCE
ON SUBJECT OF WAR

Declaring that God, and not the
armies of nations, will decide the Euro
pean war, and reiterating the story of
the appearance of the Ghost of Christ
at the battle of Ypres, Gunner George
johnson, wounded Canadian soldier,
addressed a large audience at the chau-
tauqua Saturday night. johnson took
part in the Ypres fight. He was in
valided home some time ago, having
suffered bayonet wound in the abdo-
men, inflicted by German at the bat
tie of Vimy ridge. Johnson, in the fight
killed the German who bayonetted him.
The wounded Johnson, lying on the field
of battle, after killing the German,
directed the stretcher-bearers who had
come for him, to remove the bayonet
from the dead German, and the weapon
with which the Canadian had been stab
bed was exhibited by the speaker, from
the lecture platform.

Family of Three Butchered.

johnson told many stories of his ex-
periences in France, and related numer-
Gus German atrocities that he had seen
with his own eyes. He told of entering
a house in a village in which the Ger
mans had been a short time previously,
and seeing in the house the nude bodies
of a man, woman and child, their heads
cut almost off, and the bodies hanging
by the feet on nails driven into the
walls.
He told of a Scottish sergeant who
was crucified by the Germans and of
the resolution of the organization to
which the sergeant belonged, to never
again take a German prisoner.
e'And their resolution has been kept
to this day." said the gunner, indicat-
ing that the Scotchmen do not recognize
the enemy's cry of "kamarand," but
on the other hand shoot, and shoot to
kill, surrender or no surrender.
Criticizes Dominion Government
johnson criticized Canada for not
having sooner resorted to consumption,
stating that early in the war British
soldiers were sacrificed for want of re-
endorsements, while countless numbers
of young Canadians were lettering in
pool halls or picture shows.
Johnson s talk was pronounced as
perhaps the most interesting of the en-
tire chautauqua session. Other num-
bers of the chautauqua were carried
out in accordance with the program
printed last week, ending with lecture
by Finley Fl. Gray, former member OF
from Indiana.

God Saves the Allies.

johnson dramatically told the story
of the German onslaught at Ypres, and
of how, by what was declared to be
divine intervention, the TeutOnic
hordes were turned back, and the small
army of the allies, greatly surpassed
in numbers by the enemy, was saved
"There is no use denying that Christ
appeared on the battlefield at the close
of the Ypres fight" said Johnson. "He
did that is all tire is to it. AS the
Germans were pressing US hard, mys-
FERROUS cloud suddenly descended be-
tween us and them, swept over the Ger
man troops, and they broke up in con-
fusion. Had it not been for divine in
PREVENTION, all Of us would have been
killed.

NEW DISCOVERY Is
TALK OF NATION

The medical fad of today is Irogen.
In fact, aside from the great war, the
discovery of Irogen and the possibili-
ties offered by it in the Treatment of
disease is the most talked of subject
IN the nation at the present time.
Everywhere people tell of the re-
markable results obtained from the
use of Irogen. Long suffering ended,
troubles overcome that had seemed
would never yield to any treatment,
nerves and muscles that were unstrung
and weak made firm land stong, and
vigor and health brought to those
who had become thin, frail and sicl5ly.
Physicians claim that Irogen builds
up the strength and Vigor of the sys-
tenn through the blood, thus making it
immune from gerna+or, in other
words, gives the system the strength
to throw off germs Once the germs
of disease are driven 9St,-nature be
gins her work of rebuilding the It's
sues and organs by thehuse of rich,
red blood which has been nourished
by the essential elements contained in
Irogen.
Warning is given, however, that
owing to its well -known f1esh-build-
ing powers Irogen should not be taken
/ by anyone who does not desire to add
I flesh.

The death of Herman Alexander
Warman in the high tide of his young
manhood removed from the ranks OF

from the mass of humanity a youth to
whom kindness was a creed and fideli-

Herman Warman was born April
18th, 1901, at Rome, Tenn, where his
parents then lived He was the son

at the time of his death resided in

of the City High School, and not the

spring from research and education.
He saw and was ambitious to reach
the heights that lie forever in the light
He aimed high and would have achiev-
ID greatly-he was a conscientious
faithful student, and as far as a SPLEEN
lid intelligence and personality and
character can take a man he might
have gone. When he graduated from
High school, it was his purpose to
enter college, but the crisis of his
country claimed him and drew him
away from his studies, from the late
sleep of a night student, questioning
the stars, or the sages, or his own
soul, for hidden knowledge,-to re-
spond instead to the hasty uprising
of the hard-handed Son of toll He
realized that all the beautiful senti-
ments in the world would weigh less
than a single splendid action now, and
being too young for draft service he
volunteered as a day laborer. ''Fuel

duty to US and to your country's

may feel as I used to feel, but you
sure would not feel that way if you
could only know and see the real
things as have seen and found them
We are fighting to save this country,
their wives, mothers and children.
Our own wives, mothers and chill
dren are not so much in danger as
theirs, but l feel it my duty~te help
them as well as helping my own peo-
pie, because the huns have murdered
and destroyed millions and would fin
ish them if they only had the chance,
but the Yanks have come and come
to stay till ends this terrible fray, so
come on don't mind we are all here,
and more coming. We boys here
would love to be at home, but none
seem to want to leave this job unfin-
ished. feel this thing will come to a
focus soon, as all the boys are pur-
suing them, not only Sammies but all
the Lord being my helper will do my
part, If / go down / will go with a
clear conscience, that have done my
part for my country. The Lord Jesus
died for all, why should not l die for
my country and people. Of course
