MESS KIT SAVES HIS LIFE
WHEN SHRAPNEL HITS HIM
Douglas Dezendorf, Central High
Boy, Writes Of Thrilling Time
in Shellhole Over There.

The division Of which the s12th Ma
chine Gun Battalion was a part took
the responsibility of leading an attack
in sector formerly defended by two
divisions, according to Douglas Dez-
endorf, a Central High School gradu-
ate.
Writing to his parents at 1870 Me-
ridian place. under date of November
| q, he says in part:
well, the war is over and we have
won, and we were up in the lines and
driving the Huns back to the last
! minute when the armistice was de-
| clared. We were in Belleau woods,
where some of the bloodiest fighting
of the war took place, and where the
| whole allied armies met with the
hardest resistance.
In the Lines for Fifteen Days.
eve were in the lines for fifteen
days, and the front lines, too, and be-
lieve me. well. no one can imagine
what we went through. It doesn't
seem possible now that man could
go through what we did and come out
| alive, but I got through with only a
small scratch.
! 81 had lost my pack before we
| started out, and only had a mess kit,
which put in the left pocket of my
overcoat.
well, after we had been in the
| front for about ten days, we got into
the deadliest artillery fire we had yet
been in. All we had for protection
was shell holes. Believe me. we didn't
lose much time getting into them.
Shell Bursts 20 Feet From Him.
Another fellow and myself man
aged to get into one when a big shell
burst about twenty feet from US. and
! covered us with dirt and stones. 1
| felt a pain In my side, but paid no at
| tention to it, as it wasn't much. When
the Smelling finally stopped, the fell
your mess kit" I saw a big hole
where shrapnel had hit it and had
gone all the way Through mess kit,
| coat and had just made a small cut in
my ; side
life. or at least an awful wound, and
I am still eating out Of it, and am
going to keep it as a souvenir, II pos
sible.
I'VE are now at a small town which
we had just driven the Huns out of
when the armistice was signed, and
have just received word that Sunday
we will start on a 140-mile hike to the
rear, near Chaumont, where Gen.
Pershing had his headquarters during
the war. They figure on making it in
about two weeks. Some hike.
I'VE will probably stay there until
we are sent home, which we are all
praying won't be long, and think we
will be among the first fighting units
to leave.
I'VE were just told this morning
that we could write almost anything
we wished. so I will tell you where
we went to when We first got on
French soil"

PRESIDENT WILSON
SOUNDS Sentiment
Continued from First Page.)

is a big question how food policies

tered. The United States after all.
has furnished IS per cent Of the sup
reached between Great Britain,
| France, Italy and America, the
United States is planning to take
| care of acute situations in the best
way it can for the present.
Adjustment Awaits Information.
Many questions probably will be
settled as soon as President Wilson
| and members of his party are in
The situation is somewhat bewilder-
| ing and confusing because there are
| so many problems to be determined,
and it is physically impossible to
| thing. however, of an economic char
| acter seems to depend on the out
| come of the conference between the
American peace mission and other
| Statement, and probably in another
| fortnight 1t will be apparent what
| direction the whole thing will take.
There is among Americans a good
deal of disposition to look carefully
| into the economic plans of the other
countries. For instance, there is some
| concern over the supposed plan of the
| French government to regulate the
distribution of all raw materials
hereafter through a "consortium," an
| organization of French business men
touching practically every COM
modify.
! Some Americans think this arrange
| ment will preclude any importation
except through the French govern
ment, thus removing all American
agents and giving opportunity to deal
| directly with French manufacturers.
| Other Americans take the view that a
'consortium" will not affect the OPP
portunity of America to export prod
uets through her own. agencies
| less nebulous, but significant, never.
theless.
Conflicting Ideas in Europe.
| Conflicting ideas are being adj
vanced in European circles as a re-
| suit of the powerful radical influence
on one side and an intense desire,
losses Of the war in the shortest pos
sible time Much OF the argument
for large indemnity arises from this
| latter feeling, but thoughtful econo-
mists are practically agreed that the
indemnity should be about as large
| as half the German export balance
plus the amount Germany has usual
ly appropriated for her army and
navy.
In other words. the amount will
be as much as Germany can pay,
and nobody who knows the situation
believes the indemnity can exceed
10000, 100000, nor can go below
100000 100000. 1t is admitted that
even twenty billions would not cover
the cost of the damage done, but no
body has as yet advanced plan to
enable Germany, even under the most
advantageous conditions, to pay a
bit more.
There will be much less difficulty
about indemnity. because it is a prac-
teal question, than there will be over
a league of nations. Evidently none
of the European statesmen, any more
than Mr.. Wilson, has a clear notion
of the exact operation of such a
league. But the President hopes by
personal conferences and an exchange
of views to determine how far each
is willing to go to accomplish the
object upon which all are agreed,
that wars in the future shall be con-
fined to small areas and never uni
versally disastrous.

Treatment of Americans.

when America entered the war we
were uncertain as to our fate" con-
tinued DR.. Bethel. mo Americans
were interned. though they were re-
quired to report twice a week to the
city authorities and not to leave the
city without a pass, which it took
three weeks to obtain. Rumanians
were not interned, either, but other
enemy aliens were arrested. The
French were released later, but few
English enjoyed liberty unless they
had strong pull
1.-The Germans were not told the
causes Of Americas entry into the war.
The sinking of the Lusitania was an
nounced in a spirit of bravado. I re-
member that on the morning the news
was received prominent merchant was
in the office having his teeth fixed, and l
said to him:
ct am afraid that means that Amer
lea will enter the war He merely
shrugged his shoulders and expressed
the opinion that it was of slight signifi-
canoe.
Despite the German censors, Swiss
newspapers were secured giving the
other side of the war. From the daily
communiques issued by the Germans
giving the location of the battle line it
was easy to learn from the map that
they were losing ground

All Staked on One Drive.

"a month before Ludendorff's drive
last March everybody in Germany knew
that it was coming and expected that it
would cost million men on both Sides
would capture Amiens and Paris. 1t
was generally understood that Austria
would be unable to fight much longer
and it was agreed that in the spring
on the one drive. When word came that
the drive had been halted we knew that
Germany had lost the war At the same
time it became known that there were
half million Americans on this side of
the Atlantic.
Though food was scarce. money
was plentiful in Germany during the
war. All except government en-
ployes had their salaries raised.
Prices were several times higher than
the rate of one-eighth of a pound a
week for each person. The price
ranged from 50 to SO pound. OF
potatoes we were allowed 200 pounds
price was fixed at Sis per 100
was always SIS. This rationing has
now been abolished, and it is neces-
sary to buy at even higher prices.
Bitter Against Pan-Germans.
Toward the end of the war the
populace was bitter against all the
'Deutsches' party, known as the con-
sentative pan-Germanist party. which
was held responsible for the war,
costing the lives of 100000 young
men. The discomfort, however, was
never strong enough to GUST it until
the war was lost"
DR.. Charles Klincerhofer of Balti-
more and George Williams, with wife

were caught in Germany at the time
the war began, and they remained in
