Hans Wagner Captured
From Germans, Knows
of Pittsburgh Honus

Il happened to be in a little
towE where they had a bunch of
German prisoners" writes Johnny
Mccoy, lightweight boxer of
Pittsburgh. You know Jewish
and this Dutch language are
pretty much the same. and 1
started to talk to one of these
guys in Jewish. CJohnny's real
name is Leonard J. Simon, and
he's JEWISH. He got me right
off and we had regular conver-
sation. He showed me his identt-
fication tag and on it were some
numerals and his name. His name
was Honus Wagner.
Hans Wagner I asked.
va. va; der baseball man,
he came back, just like that. Can
you beat it?
He said the Hans Wagner We
all know is well known by repu-
tation in Germany and highly
regarded by the people there"

ton of the war is not exactly

that the Hun shall not rule. And

Remnants of men. It's awful. But
just now it's a damned sight more
awful for the Huns than it is
for us.
THE other day a Red Cross
train stopped on its way back
from the front lines. and we
chatted with some of the boys
in it. 1 asked one of them who
is not yet 20 years old where he
was going and he said, Back to
the states
What? Back already?' I
asked. Gee, but you're lucky to
get out of 1t so SOON
What do you mean-lucky?
he shot back.
"And with that he opened the
door that I might see for myself
how lucky he was. He had two
wooden legs"

Question: Do you consider the riot
guns efficient arms for the trenches?
Notice you have been advocating
their use for several years.
FRANK ZENTMIRE.
Indianapolis.
Answer: They are unquestionably
efficient and logical for trench de-
fense and would be equally as ef-
fective when our boys go over the
top" Their adoption make a rapid
fire or machine gun of every man
educated to operate them. AS they
can be fired sufficiently rapidly 720
bullets would be launched per min
ute without fear of "jamming" the
gun. No bunch of Huns would be
able to march up in the face of such
barrage of lead.
Question: What is the best sized
gun for all shooting? Do you con-
slider the automatic gun success,
or are they a passing fad?
Peoria, Ill. D. Y. S.
Answer: Presume you are asking
about shotguns. Ny advice would
be TO purchase a twelve gauge. as
they are effective for all kinds of
shooting. Ammunition for a twelve
gauge can be secured at any cross
roads store. With smaller gauges
it is frequently necessary to pur-
chase in the larger cities, where gen.
eral stocks are carried. The auto
loading gun is q success from every
angle, and has come to stay.
Question: Has the migratory
game law increased the game of the
country? What are the reports for
shooting this fall?
GARY MACDONALD.
st. Louis. Mo.
Answer: Game has unquestionably
increased. When you prevent the
killing of the parent birds. enabling
them to multiply. it stands to reason
there will be an increase. Unusual
numbers of young birds are reported
from the breeding grounds in the
north, this pertaining to migratory
birds.
