Yankee Squirrel Hunters Seldom

Two Men From Pennsylvania Account
for at Least Forty
Huns.

Parls-When Yankee troops pushed
into Roncheres, Boche snipers got busy
from windows and other vantage
points. The Yanks proceeded to get
busy with the shippers. Two men who
did most effective work in cleaning out
the Boche snipers were two Pennsyl-
vania squirrel hunters Har-
ry Meeks and J. G. Titterington. Every
time they glimpsed the smallest por-
ton of Hun they fred, and they sell
dom missed. 1t is estimated that
these two men accounted for at least
forty Germans.
Just about noon they located three
snipers in the belfry of church just
under the cross.
From this vantage the Boches were
picking off American soldiers.
Meeks and Titterington got on the
job Immediately by climbing to the
roof of nearby dwelling. Meeks
saw the head of Hun for just sec
ond over the edge of the belfry. The
bullet found its mark, leaving only
two snipers. The two Yanks then be-
gan a fusillade of bullets, and five
minutes later white flag fluttered
from the belfry. Soon the two sur
viving Huns came down on the jump
yelling "kamerad-"
