MAN WHO SAW WAR ON FOUR
FRONTS ESCAPES DEATH
MANY TIMES WHILE SERV-
ING SOLDIERS.

Chicago.-More than 700 Y. NJ. G. A.
workers saw service with the soldiers
of the American expeditionary force in
the front lines during the last months
Of the war.
Frank NJ. Van Epps, seriously
wounded while serving as a Y. M. CA.
worker in the Argonne, told of some Of
his experiences in a talk at the Y. NJ.
c. A. college here:
On the way to France last April on
the Oronzo, Van Epps and Sc other
'Y" men narrowly escaped drowning
when the ship was torpedoed by a
German U-boat.
Van Epps was divisional secretary
of the Y. NJ. c. A. outfit. He worked
with the Fifth division until the armis-
tice was signed. He was dressed up in
a doughboy's uniform when he arrived
his shoulder containing what is left of
his equipment complete his %couvenirs
of more than six months service over
seas.
Van Epps saw the war on four fronts
In France and Alsace, serving in the
first-line trenches on two of them.
When the OroRzo was torpedoed on
April % 60 miles off the coast of
Wales U-boats "got" two out of a on
voy Of seven steamships. The OronZo
went down in II minutes after she was
struck, and Van Epps and other ''Y''
men lost all their baggage. They were
picked up by a torpedo-boat destroyer
and landed at Hollyhead, Wales.
In Front Line.
In southern and middle Alsace, Van
Epps was in the first-line trenches and
at st. Mihiel, when the drive opened.
he became a stretcher bearer after his
supplies ran out. Getting word to
shift to the Argonne, he travelled all
night by train, on trucks and afoot,
and spent the next three weeks sleep
ing in shell holes and trenches when
he was not at work.
At Madeleine farm, on October IS.
Van Epps and Thomas r. Hadley of
Iowa, another Y. NJ. G. A. man, set up
shop in an old barn. All but three Of
The twenty-five "Y' workers went back
to get supplies. The barn had been
under shell fire for several days, but
Van Epps and Hadley decided it was
good enough to sleep in. They built
a bed of boxes Of jam, with a tub Of
chewing tobacco for a pillow and lay
down.
Half a mile back, an American bat
terry was hammering the Germans, and
two German airsplanes came over look
ing for the position. They let go two
bombs which landed on each side of
the barn. Soon came a third, which
struck the roof, bringing down a mass
of raftnrS and beams and scattering

MAJOR GENERAL PRAISES
SERVICE OFFERED BY "Y"

Spread upon the records Of the
Third division, A. E. r.. and lust
brought to the attention of the ma
tional war work council of the Y. M.
G. A, is a general order issued by
command of Major General Dickman,
which "Y" officials have hailed as an
emphatic answer to charges that Red
Triangle workers had avoided the dan
ger zones in France and had wrung
eXOrbitant prices from the soldiers for
the comforts which the association had
sent overseas. General Dickman di-
rected that a copy of the order be sent
to every one of the thirty-four men
and six women who went with the di-
vision through the fighting of Chateau
Thierry and along the Marine, to st.
Mihiel, and later into action north of
Verdun and along the Meuse.
The Y. M. G. A. has made public
General Dickman's order along with
a communication from Col. J. C. Rhea
Of another division which was in the
st. Mihiel fighting. Colonel Rhea gave
figures showing the large amount of
supplies which We're distributed in his
division by "Y" secretaries without
charge.

Paris.-With the arrival of General
Rees from Washington on detail from
the war department to take charge Of

tons are coming overseas rapidly, ac-
cording to Prof. John Erskine of Co.

both of Van Epp$ thighs.
After dressing stations and field hos
pitfalls had finished with them they
spent half a day in an ambulance and
then were put aboard a French hos

General Praises Y. M. C. A

Paris.-There are some fools in the
Y. M. G. A, according to Brig. Gen. J.
T. O'Neil Of the Ninetieth division.
"Our Y. M. c. A. is everything to be
desired" said the general. "Among the
employees are some fools. One of them
was such a fool that he would not
stay away from the front line. and he
got so tied up with Boche shells and
other projectiles that we were forced
to recommend him for a Distinguished
Service Cross. That is a sample of the
men you have sent to us. Please keep
this work up and whether l am com
handing this division or not, the things
that you have done will make a lasting
impression upon it,"

VOICES CONTEMPT
FOR FOE FIGHTERS
REPORTS OF FRATERNIzlNG BY
AMERICAN AND FOE TROOPS
DENIED BY RED TRIANGLE
WORKER.

Chicago.-Reports Of fraternizing of
allied and foe troops following the
signing of the armistice on the western
front are denied in a letter from II. B.
Stecher, Racine, Wis, received at the
Offices of the national war work cOun-
Gil, Y. M. c. A. here.
Stecher, was q Y. NJ. c. A. worker
attached to the Ninety-frst division.
He served for more than six months on
three fighting fronts-at St. Mihiel,
in Flanders and the Argonne. Twice
he was cited for bravery and awarded
the D. S. C.
Before going to France to serve as
a "" worker Stecher was associated
with the Hamilton Beach Manufacture
ing company at Racine. Formerly he
was a member of the California Ma
tional Guard when he was living in
Los Angeles, Cal. His parents, Mr..
and Mrs. NJ. d. Stecher, live in Chi
cago.
Referring to reports of fraternizing
Of the troops Stecher says: Certain
y AAlClC was lo tllSIlpl OF ueSlTS OIL
the part of the men of our division to
f%raterniZe with our much-deSpiSed op-
ponentS, and had there been, the Off
GERS would not have permitted it. AS
a matter of fact the guns were going
right up to the time the armistice went
into effect. You see, Our boys have
had a mighty good chance to size up
h cQliber of the other side, and had
the Germans shown any indications Of
good craftsmanship in the fighting no
doubt we would feel some little re-
spect for them. Having been a dough-
boy myself in the past, and now hav-
ing gone through all the fighting with
my division, l believe my viewpoint is
the same as that of the majority Of
our division, and, personally, l have
the utmost contempt for the German
soldier, his methods and his ideals"
