BULLET PLoWs CLEAR THROUGH
ST. LoUiSAN's HEAD, AND HE
LIVES!

Second Lieut.. John T. Mcguire, of
the Eighteenth infantry, had a mirac-
ulous escape from death in France
while leading a patrol in mo Mans
Land" The lieutenant was shot
through the nose and the bullet passed
through his head and emerged from
the back of his neck, after fracturing
one of his jaws.
This is the second time Lieut.. Ma.
guire has been wounded by the Ger
mans The extent Of the second in
jury, except that it was serious, was
unknown until last week, when his
mother, Mrs. James H. Mcguire, of
1929 Olive street, st. Louis, received
letter from her son, describing his
narrow escape. The surgeon who
treated the wound said that only one
man in 100 would have survived.
Lieut.. Mcguire is a son of James
H. Mcguire, the realty man. John
is former captain of the st. Louis
University football eleven. He grad
uated from the officers school at Fort
Riley last year and was among the
first six commissioned men sent to
France from that school.

their right and attacked them on two
sides. The Irish Guards were gain
ing time. They knew that was all
they could do-just drag out the
hours by buying each minute with
their blood. One man fell, and then
another, but minutes were gained, and
quarter hours, and hours. Small
parties of them lowered their bayo-
nets and went out among the grey
wolves swarming round them, and
killed number of them until they
also fell. First one party and then
another of these Irish Guards, made
those bayonet charges against men
with machine-guns and volleys Of
rifle fire. They bought time at a
high price, but they did not stint
themselves nor stop their bidding
because of it's costliness. The Bril-
gade of Guards here near Vieux Ber-
quin held out for those forty.eight
hours, and some of them were fight

when he left home here in April to
serve his country in France.
"He's making good his promise to
his baby and we are proud of him, IS
said the young wife. "I knew he
would do something for his country,
but we never expected the good news
so soon."
'sWhy shouldn't he be brave?"
asked the lieutenant's mother. "His
grandfather was Commodore John
Rogers, who had command of the

War;"

German Kommanddantur at Brussels
sent one of his soldiers to the Lady

There is also story told Of the
Abbess of the Benedictine nuns of

HOW THE IRISH GUARDS FOUGHT
AND DIED.

All the correspondents have been
paying tribute of admiration to the
way in which the whole Brigade of
Guards, during the critical days after
the line of the Portuguese had been
broken, fought on the Lys. There
seems to have been nothing to choose
between them-Grenadier, Irish and
Coldstream. But at this moment of
political tension it is pleasant to be
able to give preference to what Mr..
Philip Gibbs has to tell of the Irish
battalion:

CIub-The War Service Club, opened
by the Catholic women of Washington
for the purpose of housing young girls
who come to the city to accept govern
ment positions, was opened to the pub
lie last week when the building was
blessed by Right Rev. Thos. J. Sha-
| han, Rector of the Catholic Univer-
sty. The building is up to date in
every particular, and credit for its
| beautiful furnishings is due to the
| Catholic women's organizations of
| Washington, who combined to make it
real home for the young girls, and
as attractive as possible. All this
was accomplished under the direction
of Rev. L. j. O'Hern, G. S. P, of the

pointed out that this gift was made
to show honor to Mary, recalling ethe
