CHAIN HUNS TO GUNS
They Don't Like the Marine
Brand of Fighting.
"DevlI Dog" Tells in Letter Homo Of
Some Wonderful Gases Of
Gameness.

Chicago.-Word has been received
from Dana B. Thrasher, with the Sixth
regiment of the United States ma
rines, telling Of the fighting on the
west front in France, in which his
regiment took part. The young ma
rine expresses deep admiration for his
fellow fighters and advises blow in
the nose for the man who calls the Y.
NJ. G. A. men slackers.
II have seen some wonderful cases
of gameness. We were lying in a
ravine one day when the Germ was
shelling. An American fell down on
top of us with both legs shot off. All
he said was: Pm sorry to bother you
guys Can you beat it?
"One day we were lying in support
and were pretty tired, for we had been
in for good many days. Our lieu
tenants came back from headquarters
and passed the word that for the last
three days the newspapers in France,
England and the States were full of
nothing but the United States marines.
We were SO glad to hear that that
we felt like arising and strolling into
Berlin.
''I suppose you are reading about
the marines successes and telling
everybody, 4 told you So I do not
like to brag, SO will only say that
there may be better fighting men In
the world, but up to date no one has
ever heard of them. We have been
through some hard fighting lately.
After the first four days the Germ
had to chain his men to the guns.

up on the line with stretchers and
