UNITED Press Correspondent
AN AMERICAN HOSPITAL IN
FRANCE. Sept 2.-tBy Mail.l-"No
they're not going TO bring the ser.
geant back TO the ward. boys"
Those were exactly the words the
nurse used. But the tone OF her
voice and the look In her eyes said
more.
The little group In the ward which
had been playing cards on one OF the
beds TO forget the tension they fel,
while the sergeant's operation was
taking place. stopped suddenly. all
attention. all hungering for good
news.
You don't mean the sergeants
gone. do YOU" exclaimed one.
Eyes. boys; the sergeant's gone
Four operations wero just too much
for his strength. lie never regained
consciousness"
The little group OF patients and the
nurse were silent.
The chap with ono leg gone had
/ half deck OF cards in his hand
Dazed. he relaxed. and the cards fell
to the floor. scattering over half the
ward. The chap with one leg gone
never noticed them.
He Was Game BOY
Gee the sergeants gone" he said
huskily; "he sure was a game boy
He was the best fellow | ever
knew" said another. and the cheer
I fullest. too. I've seen them dressing
his leg time and again. and. gosh! but
ii hurt. But did the sergeant ever
say anything? Not the sergeant-he
never batted an eye"
Just to think" unused n third. I'll
wasn't half an hour ago when we
saw him go out i shouted. Good
LUCK, Sarge, when the stretcher was
carried thru the door. and he smiled
and said. Thanks: I'll be back in a
few minutes with you.'
They sat together there. the half a
dozen of the sergeant's bunkies. all
! invalids, with the nurse OF the ward
just -nusing and talking like that
I trying to realize that the sergeant
was gone. Mess time came and
went. and no one paid any attention
to it-they were thinking only OF the
sergeant.
The sergeant was Frank Carbaugh
of Greencastle. Pa, n member OF the
Seventh machine gun sanitary de
tachment. His mother is Mrs. Car
baugh. and no mother ever reared a
Drawer son.
Didn't Talk Of Deeds
The sergeant. who was a mathe
mates teacher before the war. was
wounded when his outfit was rushed
into action near Chateau Thierry
None OF his bunkies knew just how
because, as one OF them explained
The sergeant wasn't the kind OF a
fellow who'd talk OF himself You
can bet he was wounded doing come
thing for somebody. tho"
They did know that the sergeant
lay out in the open long time after
he was wounded. Medical records
showed that. His leg was badly
smashed. and they operated at the
first hospital he reached. But gan
creme had set in. and four operations
had followed in an effort to save him

patients admired alike in that hos
pitsl. but never one just like the ser
geant. who said little. was always
Joking and cheerful. and never had a
complaint. The rest OF the boys in
the ward would do anything In tho
world for "tho Sarge"
The little group sitting on tho cots,
with the nurse. had been talking of
the sergeant for long time when
one OF the boys said: You ought to
write to his mother. Miss Cutter.
The Sarge thought the world OF his
mother"
I'm going to-" replied tho nurse;
you boys write out what you think
OF the sergeant, and I'll send that.
too"
What tho Boys Wrote
The boys did. and here are few
lines from them:
Private Elmer Hyland wrote: Il
was with him as soon as ne came
from the operation. and / cried when
he went He was great boy-a
clean fellow thru and thru. wish
my foot was so could walk with
him 10 the cemetery"
Wagner John Trask wrote: Our
sergeant Is gone. Why. loved that
fellow like my own brother. I've
seen other fellows go. but mover felt
like this
Sergt. Vincent Sauer wrote: II
never felt worse since I came into
the fight He was game TO the last.
always cheerful. and when called.
Good luck to you. he answered.
Thanks; I'll be O. X. soon. We al.
ways had fun around his bed. he was
so cheerful. lie was one OF the fin.
est fellows | ever knew"
Arthur Stain. who knew tho ser.
geant better than the rest. the boys
say. because "he and the Sarge lik
ed to dabble in poetry" wrote a poem
to send the sergeant's mother.
They buried the sergeant In the lit.
tie American graveyard In a pretty
Lorraine valley. with an American
flag over the coffin. az IS soldiers
fired three shots over the grave and
the bugler gave taps" Then some
OF the boys, whose injuries permitted
their attending the funeral. gathered
flowers in the valley. and the nurse
placed them on the grave with red,
white and blue ribbons around them
