The German guns were hurting
shell after shell over the heads OF

can lines. There were four of them
in the battery, each manned by a
dozen Hun soldiers.
E Capt. Mallon didn't hesitate.
Rushing upon the battery with a

ed like ten hundred to those scared
Germans.

But some of them showed fight
and that was what Mallon had come
to France for.
Slowing away his pistol, the in
trepid Missourian sailed in with his
fists, and before you could say
Jack Robinson" he had taught two
of the Boches what an American
uppercut is, and taught them so
successfully that the other Huns,
seeing what was coming to them,
stuck their hands in the air and
surrendered.
This outfit finished. the little army
pusned on again ana nan into an
other machine gun nest with two of
the German man-killers in 1t. This
time Capt. Mallon decided to employ
strategy, SO he deployed his men to
the tanks. while he himself rushed
forward directly in the face of the
FIRE. Before his men came up he
had silenced those two guns eingle-
handed and captured them and
their crews!
The exceptional bravery displayed
by this pluclSy Missourian resulted in
this total of booty when the exploit
was. finished:
One hundred prisoners, eleven ma
