PRIVATE JOHN OLSEN
BACK FROM FRANCE

Private John E. Olsen returned to
Pascagoula last Friday from CamI
Shelby where he was honorably dis
charged from the U. s. army after ter
months of service overseas, and where
he arrived some two weeks previously
from France.
Private Olsen was drafted into the
army last June, and with number of
selectmen left for Camp Pike for mill.
tary training, but few weeks after
his arrival he volunteered for overseas
service in replacement regiment, and
was sent Immediately to England, from
| thence to France, after three days of
preparation directly to the front line
renches on the battle front in France.
Three days after his arrival at the
trenches his company was ordered to
surprise attack on German troop in
the Argonne Forest, and though every
step of the way was fiercely contested
the valiant company continued their
attack until the overwhelming num-
bers of the enemy either killed and
wounded the entire company except
nurteen men, who were taken prison
ers. These prisoners, among them be-
ing Pvt Olsen were sent to a German
prison camp at Camp Ratstatt, where
they were subjected to the umost cruel
ty and deprivation, and as a crowning
humiliation, were hitched, in group
to plows and compelled by the German
guards to pow the fields. After some
which time the allied prisoners were
compelled to pay $1.50 for a loaf of
white bread, the prisoners got into
communication with the American Red
Cross, and thereafter their treatment
was greatly ameliorated. Private Olsen
was prisoner at Ratstatt for two
months, and was released following the
signing of the armistice, when he was
sent to a hospital in France to recupe-
rate before being sent home. He was
reported killed in action, then missing. |
He is the only son of Capt. G. A. Olsen |
of this city and has lived in Pascagoula |
all his life with his fathre and sisters |
Frail, exceedingly reticent and ex
tremely modest in his demeanor Pvt
Olsen returns to Pascagoula bearing
the marks of his kaleidoscope ex
periences only in more assured bear
ing and ease of self expression, en-
thusiastic in his praise of the allied
troops, particularly the Americans, and
with an utter contempt for the Ger
mans as worriors and men.

CONFECTIONERY suaolARIzED.

The Post Office Confectionery, own
ed and operated by the Stratakos Con
fectiOnery Company. in Delmas Ave,
next door to the new post office was
burglarized early Saturday morning,
supposedly between 3 and4 o'clock, as
the store is kept open for business until
u o'clock. The burglar entered the
store from a side door, opening on an
alley. This door had not been used
for sometime and had been nailed on
the inside, and the burglar evidently
knew the condition of this door, and
simply put enough force against it
from the outside to push it open. Once
inside he had smooth sailing, as there
were no street or other lights burning.
A punch board was taken by the burg
lar, with its contents and cash in the
drawer to the amount of about $500
A few premiums from an old punch
board were missing and also a feW
boxes of candy, the burglar evidently
having a sweet tooth as well as want
ing cash. A box of fountain pens and
knives was taken from a drawer back
of the counter, opened and examined,
but left. The burglar also passed up
the cash register which also contained
about $5 in small change.
