Yanks Caught in Pocket Fight
Until Last Bullet Is
Gone.
BOCHE SHELL GETS Them
Caught Between Barrage and Huns
They Fight in Manner to Make
One Proud to Be of
Same Race.
BYE. A. BACHELOR.

Paris-The Y. NJ. G. A. man told
the story with tears in his eyes and
q break in his voice. He said that it
was the saddest thing that he ever
had encountered, which meant much.
He had been a long time in France.
so death and suffering were no stran-
gers to him. But when he spoke Of
the sergeant and the private that they
had found dead beside their machine
gun he couldn't control his emotion.
1t seems that the sergeant and the
private had been caught in pocket.
The Germans, in force, were in front
of them. There was barrage behind
which made it impossible for them to
rejoin their company. So they stayed
and roughed it out, fought in man.
ner that made one proud to be of the
same race.
Held Off Whole Company.
When they found them there was
pile of empty shells several inches
high around the gun and not a single
round of uneXpended ammunition re-
mained. The two had held off whole
company of Boche machine gunnerS
for several hours.
The enemy had been around bend
in the road, a scant so yards away,
and hadn't been able to advance be-
cause of the brisk fire Of the lone
American gun manned by the SER
geant and the private. The sergeant
had been evidently pointing the gun
and the private had been feeding it.
Their only protection had been a lit
tie ridge where the dirt had been
thrown up beside the road.
The underground just behind them
had been cut to ribbons by the Boche
bullets and the trees near where the
enemy had been were scared by Yam
kee fire. 1t had been the hottest kind
of fight and the Americans had been
winning against the terrible odds I'M
til a shell burst right on them and
killed both.
Whether it was a Boche shell or
one of our own, nobody ever will
know. Both sides had been firing into
that part of the wood. Whatever the
source of the shell, it had done its
work quickly and thoroughly, for the
men were badly torn. Death prob
ably had come instantaneously. They
had gone while the joy of battle was
stin upon them.
Death Not in Vain.
1T was a glorious death but sad
one because a few minutes after the
shell landed, the Boche had been
obliged to retire. Another half an
hour, and the heroic pair would have
been safe. But they had not died in
vain. The company that they had
held at bay carried back to the Ger
man lines a story of American hero
ism that will do much to convince the
Boche that the men from across the
sea are going to decide the war. The
sacrifice Of these two lives will save
others.
They called on the Y. NJ. G. A. man
to help bury these two heroes. It was
not his first experience as a member
of burial party because he had been
at the front all through the big push.
AS he aided in the burial he could not
help wishing that of all the thousands
engaged in that battle these two might
have been spared.

AGAINST WIDOWS MARRYING
German Doctor Urges New Law to
Give Single Women
Chance.

Amsterdam, Holland-Enactment of
| law In Germany to prevent widows
rom remarrying so as to leave the
ew available men for single women is
rged in letter to the Tag by Mu-
Lich doctor, Hans Won Hertig. He
oints out thai the widows, through
amarrying afttx the war, would have
detrimental effect on the birth rate,
s most of them are mothers already.
"On December 1, 1910," he writes,
here were in Germany about 100000
ridows between the ages of eighteen
nd forty-fige. At a very modest esti-
mate there are now S00,000."
