In the Service
Exneriences are Varied.

Lieutenant Ernest B. MacManus,
who left for his home at Mason City
last night after a visit with his
sister, Mrs. Pearl SeeIey, on his
return from France, had a number
of nerve straining experiences dur
ing his trip over. Lieutenant Mac
Manus won his commission while
in France after sailing from this
country as an ordinary private.
Three days out from New York
last April the transport conveying
troops in which he was included,
collided with another troop ship
and was badly damaged, it being
necessary to go back to port.
where the ship was abandoned.
The soldiers were loaded into a
new transport and put out to sea
again This time when half way
over, and just entering the danger
zone the ship lost her rudder and
was delayed a day while two de-
stroyers lowered near to protect
her from possible attack while
helpless. Altogether, MacManus
was on the ocean three weeks on
this trip.
While in France he was in the
battle Of the Argonne and although
escaping injury himself, he was in
company with another lieutenant
when the latter was struck with
shrapnel and both his arms were
shot off, Just before leaving
France on his return MacManus
met Lieutenant Edwin Mcintyre
who like himself was commits
stoned abroad.
The return trip was much more
pleasant as the officers are allowed
cabin privileges while the soldiers
are carried below decks.
